Plagerism

Hi my friends
it is with sadness I have had to take down the workshops which I originally posted for free use by those wishing to continue to learn and evolve.
Sadly a person or persons who shall remain nameless not only copied my work which was freely available and I was fine with that, but they claimed it as their own.
That is plagerism of the worst kind because they are claiming to have walked my path, studied my researches 'as if they were me', and so representing themselves to other people, who trust them as being a tad more evolved than they actually are............
and worse, they are charging money for my work, which I offered freely.
I can't really do what I would like to do, which is point the finger and blame and shame, so I have removed the relevent items being charged for and ask anyone who comes across any of my work being falsely claimed by another to kindly inbox me and I shall deal with it immediately.
thank you
Silver

and the first person to say 'you didn't see that coming' is a frog ! lol

Fairies The Welsh Version.

Throughout British History there is a common theme.of Fairies, the 'little people'. They are not always described the same in shape, build or sometimes even nature and every single fairy I have researched has its counterpart across the world somewhere. 

I'll folIow you, I'll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake through brier,
Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire;
And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn,
Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn
'Midsummer Night's Dream.' Act III., Sc. 3

In Wales, the Welsh Fairy has a history that is a little easier to research. Quite a lot of records concerning Fairies continues to be discovered in little known tracts or you can be reading on an entirely different subject and a fairy story pops up. 

Nearly all of them have some of the traits mentioned in Midsummer Nights Dream and that would be because (so the Welsh claim is) Shakespeare visited Clydach to see Puck Valley. Some even claim the valley is the scene of the original Midsummers Night.

Shakespear is acknowledged to have used Welsh Folk Lore and Fairy Lore heavily in some of his works.

Witt Sykes in his British Goblin 1880' writes very amusingly of Shakespear :-

There is a Welsh tradition to the effect that Shakespeare received his knowledge of the Cambrian fairies from his friend Richard Price, son of Sir John Price, of the priory of Brecon. It is even claimed that Cwm Pwca, or Puck Valley, a part of the romantic glen of the Clydach, in Breconshire, is the original scene of the Midsummer Night's Dream '--a fancy as light ard airy as Puck himself. [According to a letter written by the poet Campbell to Mrs Fletcher, in 1833, and published in her Autobiography, it was thought Shakespeare went in person to see this magic valley. 'It is no later than yesterday', wrote Campbell, 'that I discovered a probability--almost near a certainty-that Shakespeare visited friends in the very town (Brecon in Wales) where Mrs. Siddons was born, and that he there found in a neighbouring glen, called "The Valley of Fairy Puck," the principal machinery of his "Midsummer Night's Dream."

But Shakespear is not the root of the Welsh Fairies popularity, neither is Wiit Sykes the only author to write about them. John Rhys (1900) Celtic Folk Law Welsh and Manx, The Mabinogian (various authors) The Four ancient Books of Wales, to name but a few of text from original sources. There are dozens of books in modern times devoted to the history of the Fairie in Wales. Not pretty little cartoon characters wearing acorn cups for hats and sleeping in flowers, but mischeivous, comical, and some are down right sexy, and several have agendas that bear no good to their victim.

There are 'some' common themes however. Welsh Fairies are often described as being :-

Small handsome creatures in human form; very kind and generous to humans who treat them well. and  revengful towards those who to treat them badly.

They are dressed very often in white and sometimes in green, are very fair of face, other records state the colours worn are many, the female fairies often being described as so beautiful that human beings could fall in love with them on sight.
Frequently humans are reffered to as 'mortal' giving the impression and occasionally desribing Fairie as immortal or magical.

In The tale The Lady of LLyn ffan Ffach  (pronounced Clhin fan fackh )the Fairie who live in the lake is described as

"one of the most beautiful creatures that mortal eyes ever beheld, her hair flowed gracefully in ringlets over her shoulders, the tresses of which she arranged with a comb."

The Lady bears sons and they become famous physicians……She gifts them bags filled with special herbs…..

"and revealed to them their medicinal qualities or virtues ; and the knowledge she imparted to them, together with their unrivalled skill, soon caused them to attain such celebrity that none ever possessed before them. And in order that their knowledge should not be lost, they wisely committed the same to writing for the benefit of mankind throughout all ages."

There are several versions of the Myddfai Legend. In the " Cambro Briton ' Vol. II., pages 313-315, we have a version in which it is stated that the farmer used to go near the lake and see some lambs he had bought at a fair, and that wherever he so went three most beautiful maidens appeared to him from the lake. But whenever he tried to catch them they ran away into the lake, saying:

"Cras dy fara,

Anhawdd em dala."

(For thee who eatest baked bread It is difficult to catch us.)

Fairies where given the credit for providing mankind with a wealth of knowledge. Sometimes accredited with stealing youths to teach them,.

Dancing was a popular enchantment used by Fairies to entrap people.

Commonly thought to dance ‘on the green’ or within Fairy Circles which where a common sight.

The circles in the grass of green fields are still called "Cylchau y Tylwyth Teg'

The Fairies were "things under the earth,"  generally supposed to dwell in the lower regions, especially beneath lakes, where their country towns and castles were situated :

The people on the coasts of Pembroke shire believe that they inhabited certain enchanted green isles of the sea.

The green meadows of the sea, called in the old Welsh Triads Gwerddonau Llion, are the : The Green Fairy Isles."

" Wilt Sikes, in his "British Goblin?,,1 'page 8, says that there are sailors on the coasts of Pembrokeshire, and southern Carmarthenshire who still talk of the green meadows of enchantment, which are visible sometimes to the eyes of mortals, but only for a brief space, and they suddenly vanish.

Also in the same book is a claim that :- a turf from St. David's Churchyard to stand upon enabled one to behold the enchanted lands of the Fairies; but according to traditions in other parts of the country, it seems that a certain spot in Cemmes was the requisite platform, to see these  beings who were known in some parts as Plant Rhys Ddwfn (Children of Rhys the Deep).

In the Brython, Vol. I., page 130, Gwynionydd says as follows :

" There is a tale current in Dyfed, that there is, or rather that there has been a country between Cemmes, the Northern Hundred of Pembrokeshire, and Aberdaron in Lleyn. The chief patriarch

of the inhabitants was Rhys Ddwfn, and his descendants used to be called after him the Children of Rhys Ddwfn. They were, it is said, a handsome race enough, but remarkably small in size. It is stated that certain herbs of a strange nature grew in their land, so that they were able to keep their

country from being seen by even the most sharp-sighted invaders.

In older times the common held belief of the Welsh was that the next life was reached under the sea. Many tales tell of seeing a land beneath the waves, of fair beauty, with lush green field and all was fair. The Fairie Folk were considered part of that realm and able to entice humans to dissappear into it and never return.

Wirt Sykes in his book British Goblins (1880) wrote:-

The fairies of Wales may be divided into five classes, if analogy be not too sharply insisted on. Thus we have, I. The Ellyllon, or elves; 2. The Coblynau, or mine fairies; 3. The Bwbachod, or household fairies; 4. The Gwragedd Annwn, or fairies of the lakes and streams; and 5. The Gwyllion, or mountain fairies.

The Pygmy Elf is named as Ellyllon haunting groves and hollows and the subject of a great many accusations of every kind of devilry and good deed and all inbetween.

Fairies were in days past totally believed in, marsh gas was the light f the fairies, or the fairies themselves attempting to lead mortals to their deaths in the marshes. Other fairies were feared for leading mortals astray in forests. By the same token, tales are told of the reverse, fairies leading mortals to safety from both environments.

This short article is not meant to give you your fill of Welsh Fairies, there is so much more. A taste, a morsel, to sit lightly on the mind and place a smile upon your lips. Seek the Fairies of Wales in your researches and read the amazing tales and records of sightings and leave your dreams free to visit the Land of Fairy.

Dream and Intuition. article and WORKSHOP

Albert Einstein, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mary Shelley, to name just three famous people whose 'dreams' and intuitions gave the world an invention, a discovery. Frederick Banting dreamt of how to make Insulin. The Ouroboros is a snake symbolism which August Kekule dreamt of...leading to the discovery of Benzine having a circular molecule (all other compounds were linear) which impacted on Chemistry massively.

Srinivasa Ramanujan dreamt of a sheet of blood, a hand writing in the blood and the Hindu Goddess Namakkal repeatedly arrived in his dreams with mathmatical formulii. He often reffered to his dreams and the information he gained , his revelations of infinity are his gift to the world. Otto Loewi dreamt twice, forgetting the first time, much to his frustration, a method to display his theory and revelations that nerves transmitted via chemical not electrical impulse. Perhaps one of the most profound moments in history.

The key word is...revelations, information which astounded, amazed and was memorable to the dreamer.

There are enough people of stature, credible status having spoken, recorded, made statements of the impact a dream has had in their work; to enable a perfectly sensible and genuine validation of dreams and the information they produce being of great importance to Humanity.

Their dreams displayed mathmatical formulii as with Ramanujan and his infinite Pi. Or Einsteins Theory of Relativity,. Some of our most famous scientists have revealed the enormous influence their dreams had on forming their theories and concepts.

Dreams can be very difficult on occasion, the brain presents symbols or images which seemingly are unrelated. From what is understood currently a dream could be displaying the 'clearing house' going on in your records department. Or then again it may be solving an issue you have been worrying about and presents the solution in a format you should be able to understand fully. Of course 'we' as humans have a tendancy to analyse the analysis of the analysis instead of seeing the first value, of our dream sequence for what it is...a simple way of saying ..........

 I believe that premonition and presentience are often the mis labelling of a very finely honed intuition which, given room to develop can change your life dramatically. Artist reveal their work by expressing themselves on canvas or clay and so on, many have referred to the inspiration stemming from a dream, an image that wouldn't fade away, demanding notice.

You have one specific thing to do...........let yourself dream.

The following is my very simple understanding of the complexities of dreams and where they 'may' stem from, in their creativity of displaying an important message for you to take on board.:-

We know factually that our concious and sub concious selves , occasionally have difficulty in communicating with our 'self' in a way we can undertsand immediately. In a dream , the 'self' is not in control. The sub concious and concious mind can communicate without our 'self' interfering, halting or jumping to conclusion without true understanding. Our very intelligent sub concious, the filing system for so much knowledge, finally gets to say to the concious mind...shut up, watch, listen and learn...this is how it is:-

INTUITION

Here is part of our dream package. It is the dream which can reveal our intuitions in a greater detail, in a much better format. Not a simple butterfly in the stomach moment, a fully created visual display of what your sub concious has been screaming at you along taut nerve endings all day long.

I believe that pre sentience or premonition is often more logically intuition , which isn't 'plucked from the air'. It is the result of complex memories,information stored, and our own ability to create from that information a likely result, a probable event ...with a greater certainty. Have we listened...no, so we end up with the butterfly in the stomach which can become the small herd of elephants as we approach an incident, a situation, a problem having ignored the messages our sub concious has been 'sending'  and eventulally resorted to a simple signal...'oy' with that pit in the stomach reaction.

Honing the intuition signals is important, it releases so much angst and fears and allows the self to rely on our own instincts and indeed to allow ourselves to dream with ease, remember with detail and reveal to our own needs the messages our subconcious has had so much difficulty giving us.

DEVELOPING YOUR INTUITION.

Never decry a ‘woman’s intuition’, accepted throughout the world as a true phenomena, intuition is not the exclusive dominion of women. Intuition is the additional skills of the human mind which has been the subject for inumerable studies. The ‘sixth sense’ the inner self giving off warning signals. Ignore them at your own peril.

How many people have said ‘I just KNEW it’ and then failed to act on whatever it was they ‘just knew’ and paid the consequences.

If one listens to the inner voice, the instinct and the imagery constantly playing in the mind, or the ‘niggles’ at the back of your thoughts then it will always serve you well.

By this I do not mean you must turn yourself into a worry wort, whose entire life is ruled by ‘thoughts’, ‘feelings’, and the ‘ heeby jeebies’,. I mean that the true inner voice is a combination of the sub conscious having realised there is an important fact you are missing and trying to signal you. That your conscious mind has perceived something of importance and you’re ignoring it, and that your true sixth sense has ‘felt’ an energy, a disturbance or abundance of information and the three parts of you are combining their energy and demanding attention.

HONING INTUITIONS

Firstly define your experiences.

Are they dreams, thoughts, feelings, nebulous responses of emotion? Are you someone who gets ‘hunches’ or instinctual responses that always seem to benefit you?

Once you have defined the actual responses you have a chance to hone them into tip top condition.

Start keeping a diary of your ‘feelings’, write them down as clearly and as fully as you can. Try placing dates or times around these intuitions as to when they will be fulfilled. If you want to go the whole ‘hog’ as it where, then copy it all out twice and put it in two separate envelopes which you seal, one to be opened eventually as the intuition forms in reality; one with tape across the edges and the name and address written across the whole to show it has not been tampered with, signing across the apertures sealed edges.

This might seem a lot of trouble, but in the years to come, as your intuitions, your ‘sixth sense’, becomes honed and active and dependable. You will have a proper record, incontrovertible proof via date stamps and sealed written recordings, all of which upholds your claim and your veracity as a student of the developing mind.

When your ‘hunch’ or whatever sense is active has paid off, become truth, then you write down the times, dates, what happened and so forth. Into your diary. You can see for yourself the truth of what you ‘saw or felt’ and begin to re-define the skill by comparing the reality with the record in your first envelope.

Maybe you need to be more confident. Perhaps you have mis understood an image but it is still relevant, you will understand with more clarity. Remember all this for the next time.  You have proofs in the form of your diary and envelopes which enforces your trust.

Try to give yourself time to yourself. When you have this ‘time out’ you can think of your intuitions and see if you can trigger them off deliberately by thinking of a subject and allowing your intuition to respond. Meditation is a good way of allowing this sense to come to the fore front of your mind.

Try ‘dream counselling’. Before you go to sleep, allow your mind to think of a particular situation or problem you are trying to solve. Either for your self or someone close. Now instruct your brain (tell yourself) that you wish to have an answer in the form of a dream because you want to go to sleep.

Your subconscious will continue to work out the problem while you sleep, you may actually dream the resolution or wake up with a complete certainty as to the course of action you need to take. This is a wonderful technique and in the past many people have used this method to solve problems. Or indeed, to make new discoveries. Start to add these experiences into your diary.

A very simple way to expand and strengthen your intuitions, begin to trust them and in doing so, of course, you are creating a stronger sense of yourself. It is a way to validate your view of the world, and its impact on you. 

Naturally there will be times that intuition is in over play and you can learn to halt it, to cut across the fear impulses which may be rooted in past experiences which were negative and have become too strong in the concious mind. If your intuitive senses are 'used to being ignored' the fear signals will just get bigger and bigger, creating anxiety and perhaps becoming so strong it could incapacitate your normal life experiences.

Because you had previously ignored those intuitive responses to information being gathered, perhaps your sub concious mind overplayed the signals...check it out, look closely at where those fear impulses came from, what made up the 'package' being delivered.

Intuition is a gut response, so we think, but in truth it is a signal from the whole of the minds information gathering and is signalling you.

WHEN IT ISN'T INTUITION BUT TRUE PREMONITION

Sixth Sense or not that is the question............................

Let yourself begin to trust your instinct. The gut reaction of someone is the true self and the truth of the self shouldn’t be ignored because then you are living a lie. Let your intuitions guide you in issues where you are uncertain. Think ‘out loud’ the various solutions to a question, your stomach will ‘sink’ or your chest will ‘tighten’ as your inner self reacts to the solutions you have thought of.

You can always toss a coin over the solutions and even if you don’t do as the flip tells you, your inner reactions will respond to the head or tail and give you further insight.

But how to discover if you have the true 'art' of Premonition, not intuitive skills above the norm, but the real McCoy...plucking unlikely events from the ether and they ARE.

Schrodingers Cat in the box is it alive, is it dead, does it exist...opening the box in your head, not physically and making a statement of facts as you perceive them, THEN opening the box and determining the truth...is premonition (if your proven right).

Proving the Cat exists:-

The inner self is becoming stronger by now. Try it out, in a safe way. For example, take a bus ride in a town you don’t usually visit and get off in the very centre of the town. Now where does your instinct say the museum is? The art gallery? What do your instincts say? Another way would be to stick a pin in a map you have turned face down, of an area you haven’t visited before and with out researching it, describe what the area looks like.

Turn the map over and find the location, now drive down there and check it out. You might have described a tree or a shop and when you get there it is a park or a tourist place which of course is not indicated on the map but from sight the map may have said ‘built up area’.

Don’t be misled. You might end up in a very busy part of the town and your sixth sense had said there was a huge mountain; just as your about to turn away you could see a huge cinema display for Lord of the Rings with the mountains of Moria in the back ground ! 

Think ‘outside the box’, it isn’t always the truth but the truth isn’t always as we have seen it. But it is still the truth.

It seems odd to acknowledge your inner senses, your sixth sense as a separate entity to yourself. Yet if you say a quiet  thank you, express gratitude to your inner self, and your sixth sense. It is a psychological ‘trick’, you are giving yourself approbation, gratitude and thanks which will uphold the sense and the inner self and really, you will feel quite good about yourself.

If you have proven to yourself that your intuitions are reliable, you are a richer personality for that discovery and approbation, if you have discovered your ability to develop a sixth sense it is an enrichment of your selfs worth.

Ultimately the result is your intuition skill, will become more confident in expressing itself which means confidence grows, insight becomes part of the daily life and as this increases, then your sixth sense takes its place along side the other senses and is used as much. To your benefit.

The added bonus is an enriched dream event, more details, better communication with the self and the needs of the self.

If however, what you also have is the skill of Premonition, Pre- sentience that is a different 'kettle of fish' as they say in the UK. Covered by an entirely different workshop, which you can only access, once you have verified your truths of your intuitive self worth. The 7th Sense is often confusing, sometimes great to have, occasionally frightening and now and again dangerous......more on that later in the year.

PS I am not an expert in any way whatsoever in psychology or associated skills. This work is simply my perception as a working psychic as to how to improve the inner workings of the mind as a psychic person , who had to wade through hundreds of articles, advice and implement a way for myself to develop without damaging my own self. This article describes my own journey. You have your own mind, thoughts and evaluations...they are as vaid as my own and you should listen 'to your own intuitions' and research.

Meditation and other methods of improving the sense of the self have been used throughout the centuries via concepts, religions and many diverse methods. Often they have been successful.

If however, you suffer from any form of mental illness I would recommend you discuss your needs with your support network.If you propose to attempt the work in this article discuss them thoroughly with your own medical advisor or Doctor or support team.

God, Karma and Freedom of Choice

Light versus Dark Harlech beach 2012

I don't believe in karma as such, it is an eastern philosophy which doesn't 'fit' into my personal credo, Many Westerners say blithely 'karma will get them' when discussing someone's horrible actions towards another person or sentient being. But if that is a truth, then surely the rest of it applies. One cannot cherry pick when karma happens. If the past is 'paid back' for past sins then a two year old thrown in the sea and drowning, is also responsible for its demise because it did something awful in its past life...all two years of it. I can't accept that.

Freedom of Choice is a human blessing, or curse dependent on your views. I believe much of what we blame 'God' for, and a great deal of our own suffering is purely the logical outcome of our using freedom of choice...badly.

I cannot believe the human soul needs to choose to learn how it feels to be murdered, tortured, starve to death. Because that is truly what Karma is saying, that the past actions of a six month old baby starving to death is of its own cause, its own fault. That the baby may be the victim of something its soul enacted in a previous life, which it is paying for in this life....doesn't fit into my perception of human spiritual growth and its need to evolve.

I believe there is such a thing as destiny, I do believe if we do something awful, 9 times out of 10 it will catch us up and we end up having to learn the lessons attached to that action, not as karma so much as a result of , human behaviour and the complexities of the human condition.

I do however believe in a Tynged (Welsh) ,which is more commonly known by the Irish"Doom, Fate, Destiny".a Geis or Geas which is an obligation, a curse, a blessing, a path......which a person can have gifted them,cursed them. Of course this can come to mean many things in life, by being responsible for our own actions it is possible to see how some of our actions could have been better chosen, better enacted. Tynged is the choice of response, not the situation.

How would one then understand a doom, it is not necessarily a doom of great sorrows, one may be doomed to live in a town when the heart wants the country...the doom can only be lifted by seeing the need to move to a place of greater tranquillity and then the Tynged becomes a challenge to obtain that freedom. But it is challenge-able, it CAN change.

 A man can change his stars!

Destiny can and does place much in our paths the lesson is always to understand the freedom of choice in how we accept or deny that destiny or that fate. Unless, other humans have intervened and impinged slavery or dominance, by their own choices they are doing this to another human. That makes them evil, and vile humans. Which needs to be addressed by other humans. It is not caused by God or Gods, it is caused by mankind's greed or desire to dominate. Blaming God for such actions is unfair on God. Freedom of will is the culprit.

The acts of nature which cause a tree  to fall and kill someone is not a fate, a destiny or a doom, it is an act of nature.

Someone doing something horrible to you is not fate, destiny or doom either, it is that persons freedom of will which has been exerted on you...the lesson possibly being that you were aware they where a nasty individual, or a crafty individual and could have halted such an act by forethought and preparation or actions of your own.

If that were not true, if you were truly weaker and in a situation were you are unable to choose your own responses then you have been enslaved. That is political, it is human dominance and again...not Gods fault, human kinds fault. With no personal responsibility to answer too, no correction of their behaviour the dominant person has become a tyrant. That is not Gods Fault either.

To be murdered, raped, robbed, is not your fate it is another human being enacting their own freedom of will , it is not the Gods province, it is a Human province and the need for better policing, education or whatever else would provide a safer world is for humans to create of their own free will.

This is a very small amount of information concerning Tynged, it is a matter which has caused many discussions over many years and still is not fully understood in its entirety. As an example many would say that becoming a victim of someone else's behaviour is not 'fair' and it isn't, but it is still human and as such the humans province. To choose not to be the victim of a nasty human deed is to choose to fight for your rights for instance, or see a solicitor or speak the truth in a public place and so many other diverse actions...but they are human not divine.

WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN KARMA

Because karma is a term loosely used it is not fully understood by western culture and is invoked as 'they will get their karma'The Bhuddist tradition of karma is the following :-

In this world nothing happens to a person that he does not for some reason or other deserve. Usually, men of ordinary intellect cannot comprehend the actual reason or reasons. The definite invisible cause or causes of the visible effect is not necessarily confined to the present life, they may be traced to a proximate or remote past birth.

According to Buddhism, this inequality is due not only to heredity, environment, "nature and nurture", but also to Karma. In other words, it is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.

And I cannot believe that a child deserves to be starved to death or that the child caused itself to be starved to death, or that a woman deserves to be raped because she did something so awful in a past life she does not remember;to be raped and all the other many horrors mankind perpetrates upon each other.

Would any rational being actually choose to have acid thrown in their face, have their skin melt into an unrecognisable form and live a life of such painful and debilitating aspects. Would a rational human soul actually choose to return to this earth knowing they will be raped, sodomised, butchered, used, abused, tortured,starve to death by the time they are 3 months old ? how would a soul of that age in a body that age learn anything at all. It pre - supposes that the soul will turn to its soul state having understood the pain (when the human body cuts out at a certain level and becomes unconscious) at 3 months of age, before it could possibly have any human capabilities of anything much beyond 'feed me', 'give me a cuddle'. I don't disbelieve that Karma is a very real status and concept of belief in an age old religion, adhered too by many. Nor do I think this 'as a belief' has no place within that religion. I just think the fact so many 'cherry pick' without truly understanding what they are accepting is damaging to the eventual growth of both understanding and evolving.

I am not so much unconvinced, as unwilling to follow a concept without understanding it much more than I do currently. My personal understanding at present, is limited to researching the concepts, trying to discuss with true followers of religions that have karma as part of its structure. I understand Tynged, accept it is part of my human condition, that at some point, events will happen and as a result other events will evolve. But I am not blaming God, and I do know...I have to think before I make my choices as to what is the likely consequences of my actions. Personal Responsibility.

God did not make me 'do' anything, freedom of my own will...does. As a result of my actions, other things will happen. My fault;mea culpa. Not fate or destiny, not Gods fault, my own. Uncomfortable to think of sometimes, but truthful. My choices make me who I am and what happens , even out of the blue stuff, can more often than not, be traced back to a previous action. Not always but mostly and when it is almost 'fateful' as I perceive it, then my Tynged is working for me, and it is time to apply the lessons of my own remembered past, the wisdom of my elders and the observations of my world to be put together and of my own free will..........I choose my actions knowing there will be a reaction as a result.

ARCHANGELS article

Angels in the Clouds

ARCHANGELS

whether you are Christian or Pagan or any religion which has an hierarchy  of a heaven or a hell, Archangels seem to be an accepted aspect of our spiritual life.

For many, the idea God (by whatever name) has a sub division or a department wholly given over to his/her ‘second in command. is something we don’t question. I know that many people use the idea of winged angels as a defence system in Psychic Self Defence and many people continue the concept further with Archangels Raphael (wind), Michael (fire), Gabriel (water and Uriel (earth) combining pagan and Christian beliefs.

Currently ‘doing the rounds’ and many claims of ‘it works’ is the Arch Angels Ritual.

I can hardly write something up, recommend it, without first trying it out myself, or rather I prefer not to do so (some rituals are not for me) I did this one, I tried it via the auspices of a good friend sending me the letter informing me of her good will and thoughts towards me and her desire for me to be blessed. I received the thoughts written down, the love that prompted that letter with humility and gratitude. Such a truly kind thought.

I have taken part in this ritual...and cannot explain the white feather that drifted from side to side down my front door on the appointed day, nor can I explain the many lovely things which happened during those 5 days, or the positive energy which began to infuse my world, even with persons who were not aware of my participation. I can only say that doing this ritual seemed a good thing and felt good.

                    ARCH ANGEL RITUAL                                             

Choose 3 people to send the Arch Angels to.

Inform these people that on a specific date the Arch Angels will arrive at their front door. They will arrive for 5 days at 10.30 pm at night and leave at 10.30 pm 5 days later.

To invite the Archangels presence in your life prepare a small altar. The home must be spotlessly clean.

Have an apple and a candle and a white flower

Three wishes:-

1 for yourself

1 for a loved one

1 for the earth

Write them down on paper and seal in an envelope.

Light the candle and place the apple on the wishes.

Open the door at 10.30.pm and say:-

Hello and welcome Archangels to my home. You were sent to me by (name) I am very grateful to each of you for purifying and bringing peace to this place and to beings that live in it. I am very grateful to you for bringing harmony, Joy, serenity to us all. I am very grateful to you for fulfilling my wishes.

for 5 days the angels are with you, you can talk to them, reflect on them, discover peace and answers in your life. The Angels will accompany you wherever you go.

While your physically present keep the candle lit, but observe safety and do not leave a lit candle lit while you are away.

Just before the 5 days are up write down the names and addresses of those people you are sending the Angels too. Then; using the candle burn this information to send the energy to the angels. Send your love and thanks and as the angels leave you burn your own wishes list and scatter the ashes. Eat the Apple.

This ritual has been enacted worldwide passed from friend to friend much as a chain letter but many claim the ritual has worked for them.

Many people rewrite this ritual to their own way of belief but it is certain that belief in Arch Angels has been emphasised by the thousands of people who have followed this ritual and in doing so centred belief and trust in this ritual being positive in their lives.

Arch Angels are an energy, perhaps for some they are a spiritually enhanced Egragore or for others a manifestation of will centred on a specific all powerful energy similar to God minus the awe inspiring fear of God.
God Bothering is an old expression to describe someone who asks God (by whatever name) for soemthing, for extra help, to smite down a neighbour or bless a friend, but forever doing so, not the odd occasion, but over and over. Many religions advise against such continuous needy prayers and advise a different approach....contact one of Gods helpers and so Arch Angels come in for a first line of defence, like  Personal Assistants  for a CEO ; perhaps they do not feel as awesome to approach.

Human beings are a strange lot at times. Not ‘bothering’ God is a concept many feel aware of and have experienced before now.

The Archangels have manifestations, associations and now even their own Tarot Packs and Spirit Packs....the inventiveness of mankind in trying to bring into their lives a spiritual being knows no boundaries.

I return to RAZIEL  who is a powerful Archangel who can be called upon to defend from great evils

His associations are the following

AMETHYST, LAVENDER, VIOLET, WINTER, MARCH, MONDAY, BELIEFS, HELPFUL, RESOURCEFUL, BLOODSTONE, THE WORLD, THE UNIVERSE, CANDLE PURPLE.

On the Tree of Life in Kabbalah (also called "Qabala"), one reads of Archangel Raziel overseeing the sephirot (sephiroth)called "Chokmah" which means "wisdom."

"Ratziel reveals Divinity as it emanates Divine energy into everything, and allows human consciousness to expand to the degree that it is able to comprehend the existence of Divinity....an awareness of God in all manifestations which can release the believer from a single pathway and open the door (Daath) to a greater spiritual journey of Gnosis of all and not just one way.

AA Raziel is our angel who reveals the divine mystery, enabling us to understand the concept of God in all manifestations. An ability to enable us the human race to not only understand and accept the concept of God but to apply that knowledge in every day ways into our everyday life.

 Raziel is the fifth Arch Angel called upon to guide and keep safe the personal energy of the soul as we connect to our higher self in prayers or service (invocation and ritual)

The first series of Arch  Angels appears in The Book of Enoch and are named as Gabriel, Michael,Raphael,Uriel,Raguel,Remiel and Saraquel.

All AA names end in ‘el’.

Remiel is described as the leader of the 200 Fallen Angels the Grigori.

The Revelations description of seven seals being broken is a reference to the Arch Angels who hold those seals in defence of mankind from the apocalypse.

Many religions with a Jewish base refer to Arch Angels and name other angels in their belief system. 

The Roman Catholic church recognises three Arch Angels, Raphael, Michael and Gabriel.

The Eastern Orthodox church accepts Uriel as well,.

 Sariel and Jerahmeel ,Selaphiel,Jegudiel,are mentioned in The Book of Enoch.

The Coptic Church mentions Suriel, Zadakiel and Aniel.

Systems recorded in various holy scripts assign the Arch Angels various tasks or ruler ships.

The seven Luminaries (the 7 planets or star systems visible to the naked eye) are given Arch Angels .

The Seasons of the year, the elements and jewels, stones, and other diverse aspects have all at one time or another been ruled by an Arch Angel.

Each religion or pathway will give the researcher a list of such associations.

Just a short introduction to Arch Angels and their presence in the spiritual worlds we regularly visit.

ASTRAL PROJECTION article

THE ASTRAL WORLD

The Astral by shamanistic descriptions seems to be a dimension as real as this world, accessible through the mind. Occasionally a shaman may claim to physically enter the astral dimensions and

then the danger is very real, that they are unable to come back to this realm.

Some of the exponents of a different realm are a surprisingly eclectic mix:-

Carl Jung describes himself as being transported into a region of outer space, phantasmagorial in appearance.

Carlos Castaneda wrote several books about his journeys to a realm which he names as ‘the crack between the worlds’.

William Blake visited Heavenly Realms.

Inevitably the Shaman will eventually travel to the next Realm or the Astral world..

.

This is a specialist subject, above and beyond normal Shaman skill. To travel the Astral requires knowledge’s of meditative and magical aspects which are complicated by the inner capabilities

already present in any Shaman.

For this reason, Astral Travel forms a part of the Meditation Course and is an invaluable aid to the safety and security of the Soul aswell as the Physical self.

Because of the true and very real dangers one can encounter, as this course was being created, I took the decision to add to this article the instructions to follow the Meditation Course.

There is a vast array of skills to meditation and its many advantages to the human psychic. The Meditation Course is worth studying for its own benefits. I have included here the safety rules and the astral links to be noted though we wish to emphasise that the actual Meditation course is vaster than the small amount of information included here... 

Happy Astral travels.

Keep a journal for your meditations and a separate journal for your observations on all other related subjects. You may need to refer to information and your journal will definitely make interesting

reading later in life.

PSYCHIC SELF DEFENCE WORKSHOP

PSYCHIC SELF DEFENCE

People have very rich imaginations. Our minds have been subjected to every kind of media created fear. Be it a fear of the dark to a monster that has been derived from the rich source of mythological data available to us. A very real fear of an animal or insect or even the mockery of your peers. Each fear is freely available, lurking at the back of the mind and awaiting the chance to manifest into our most vulnerable moments. We protect ourselves not only from exterior forces but from our own personally invented aspects too.

PROTECTION.

In an ideal world mental protection starts with the physical self and its needs being met first. However that isn't always feasible.

The human mind is a fine instrument which receives enormous amounts of information all the time. In ideal conditions we can ensure the body is as comfortable and safe as possible. At the point when you feel content begin the first steps of Psychic Self Defence...

As human beings we are subjected to an amazing amount of information second by second. Our ears are hearing back ground noise as well as the conversation before us and the chatterbox at the desk over the room, the sound of the fax machine and the fact that it is a sunny day outside and a plane just flew in the direction of Sunshine and beaches and we could go on forever. What is also happening is a sensory overload which may be attacking your more delicate personal abilities.

Feelings of being ‘watched’ where you can almost physically feel someone’s eyes on your neck.

Feeling suddenly drained of all energy when you are physically absolutely healthy.

Fear or self doubt suddenly striking your emotions.

Being swamped by the drama of someone else’s life.

Feeling too emotional, always weepy or angry or swept by rage which comes from absolutely nowhere.

All these emotions are seen as an attack of the psychic self.

Defending yourself is something you practice whenever you shut yourself off from the world and stay in doors with the curtains shut, watching mind boring TV shows and not answering the telephone!

Why did you do that to yourself? Because it is easier than dealing with the exterior world when you feel so very sensitive. Defending yourself enables you to go out into the world with a lot more

confidence.

Psychic self defence is a Metaphysical exercise and requires total focus and concentration.

USING YOUR IMAGINATION

Take a really good look at yourself in the mirror. This is your true

self; this is the real person you will be defending mentally. So don’t

cheat in your imagination and pretend your stomach is flatter than

it is, don’t add a few inches onto your body. You’re looking at

yourself and memorising the truth.

.

Psychologists would call the following differing names, or conditionings, mental excercises. I grew up with them all being acknowledged as ways of defending the Psyche and defending the minds perceptions whether real or imaginary from vulnerability and fears which can manifest themselves in poor health, stresses and damaged sleep patterns and in some ways psychologically causing fear to function normally in life.

PRAYER

Beginning your work with a prayer is perfectly acceptable if you are of a religious persuasion, ensure your prayer contains the request to be protected from all levels of negativity above and below the

earth, from all directions of the universe, within and without of the self.

THE SHIELD

1

Whenever you are with people who make you feel unnerved, whose energies are making you feel uncomfortable you can create a force field between you and ‘them’. However, you are at present

alone and unable to determine if this procedure is working. What you can do is create the imagery and then practise it next time you are out in the public world.

Imagine yourself with a shimmering shield before you, wherever you walk or stand this ‘shield’ is with you, make it as thick as you like and it can be made of ‘glass’, a ‘force’ as in the Science Fiction

films invisible beams, whatever is for you an image of strength and either repelling or ‘zapping’ the negativity which you feel is too invasive.

This is a defence used when someone makes you feel drained or mentally brow beaten. Place the ‘shield between you and them….it works!

2

Now sit or lie down and begin;

See yourself in your minds eye. Imagine surrounding yourself with pure white light. Now silver the surface of the white light until it is mirror bright.

This basic defence mechanism is a protection from negative energy outside of you, it repels it.

If someone where to ‘send’ a negative force at you, it would be bounced straight back to them without infiltrating your defence.

BREATHING TECHNIQUES

See yourself in your minds eye and as you physically begin to breathe in white light.

Breathe out whatever colour is inside yourself, keep your breathing to your own rate, do not force your breathe or attempt counting techniques.

Keep this technique going until you are ‘full up’ with bright white light and you are breathing out white light as well as inhaling white light. See your image glowing with light, perceive the light in your breathe.

Now continue this procedure but add the imagery that the light breathed in is now exuding through your skin. 

This continues until you are both filled with light and your skin is positively glowing with

light in, on and outside of it.

You can comfortably stop the breathing technique, all the imagery is now focussed on maintaining the whole image of yourself positively glowing with filled light exuding  From your body in a ‘body

wrap’ of light.

Once you are comfortable with the imagery, close your eyes; ‘think’ to your mind the instructions. ‘You wish to maintain this image during any psychic work you are about to do.’

Let the eyes open as you allow the image to fade to the back of your mind.

This type of defence is using a forceful image of you being protected from exterior negativity and enables you to banish personally invented negative forces. It is also used to repel negative forces from exterior force or person.

USING THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE.

If you are a religious person then you can always employ the use of a symbol as an extra protection for the mind. Some of the symbols are The Cross, The Ankh, The five pointed, six pointed and eight pointed Star and numerous others. The name of your deity inscribed on a suitable medallion. A rosary and many other symbols are used throughout the world. You use whatever symbol has the greatest protection you have been taught and believe in.

These methods of protection are more than adequate for use when practising the developmental skills of psychic development.

Visualisation and Meditation.

As with the previous meditations you need to prepare and settle yourself. In the preparation we would like you to choose an image to look at. A photograph of a flower or a candle, something simple

and preferably single coloured.

Once you have begun to feel relaxed you need to concentrate on the specific image which you chose earlier

.

Try to ‘see’ in your minds eye the flower or candle as you saw it in the photograph.

Concentrate not only on the image but try to sense the feel of the object, the scent the heat or other sensory information your mind can supply above and beyond the photograph

This visualisation is very simple but the effects can be startling. 

You may see the flowers petals open or smell its perfume.

The candle may begin to burn and flicker and melt.

This visualisation is the beginning for you of other meditations which you will enjoy over the coming years.

Visualisation is a creative method of relaxing and focussing the mind on something pleasurable, relaxing and enlightening as the imagery will evolve and involve other senses as you progress.

You may also begin to sense thoughts which may or may not be related to the image.

They will certainly be for you, about you or your plans. Keep good records of all of this.

Other images may begin to appear without your studying them, in fact more images and other sensations will develop over a period of time. Once you are comfortable with this level of meditation you may feel ready to progress further.

In Psychic Self Defence, once this stage of meditation has been reached one creates SANCTUARY and it is also possible to create a Door Sentinel, a completed energy is to visualise  yourself safely inside your sanctuary then allowing the imagery to fade, coming 'back' to reality and simply keeping the feeling of being inside your sanctuary 'topped up' with little moments throughout times in the day or night where you strengthen that thought, that visualisation and perhaps enhance it with a prayer to your deity.

There is more, there always is, this is an introduction to psychic self defence. Good for the majority of issues we deal with on a daily basis which make the psychic self uncomfortable.

Be safe, be happy

Regarding this issue I am happy to answer specific details if you feel you are not .'quite' getting the hang of it, or perhaps have a deeper situation to deal with. Please feel free to e mail me at the provided address.

AN INTRODUCTION TO HEALING by FRANCES REILLY 1985

AN INTRODUCTION TO HEALING.

A Memorial Paper by Frances Reilly. 1985.

There are many forms of healing and I will endeavour to enlighten you.

Firstly we have many hospitals, which include Surgeons, Physicians, Dieticians, Physiotherapists, and Nurses to name but a few. Specialists in every ailment mankind can suffer from.

Secondly we have Alternative medicine, of which there is also a long list. Currently the top 8 Alternative medicines in the western world are -:

Top 8 alternative therapies,

1,Naturopathy where the body is encouraged to heal itself through healthy exercise, correct diet and fresh air.

2, Ayurvedic a strict diet to suit your ‘prakuti’ which is your physiological and physiological system, herbal medicines, yoga and other complimentary medicines and practitioners.

3, Traditional Chinese medicine. Herbalism, massage, diet therapy, exercise and acupuncture are just some of the range of medicines used holistically.

4, Homeopathy a prescription for minute amounts of a remedy that will closely match your ailment, there is an extremely detailed series of questions concerning everything from lifestyle to ailments.

5,Manual lymph drainage a highly effective system where a relaxing massage pinpoints the lymph glands, boosting the immune system eliminating toxins .6,Autogenic Training this has been dubbed a meditation for westerners, the system is taught over a number of weeks.

7, Reiki a Japanese form of ‘healing’ which can aid stress management especially.

8, Aromatherapy where essential oils are used to encourage a better immune system, where essential oils are used in massage.

Spiritual healing is in a category of its own.

It is Spiritual Healing I am interested in here, in this paper.

I firmly believe that if ones spiritual body is healed, the spiritual body helps the physical body to accept Gods will and in acceptance we can overcome the problems.

There are various ways of Spiritual Healing.

Contact Healing.

Aura Healing.

Magnetic Healing.

Colour healing.

Absent Healing.

In this first paper I wish to deal with the healing I use myself.

I sit quietly for a few minutes, to meditate. Offer a prayer and ask for Gods love and light and protection, and that he let my Healing Guides be with me throughout the duration of the task I have to do. I give my love to God and in return I can feel myself fill with his love THEN I KNOW. I am ready to begin.

If I haven’t had contact with the person before, I ask if they have experienced Spiritual Healing. If not then I explain it to them, what I am going to do. This puts them at there ease.

I always stand behind the person to start off with, placing my hands on their shoulders.

I extend my thumbs to the base of their neck and concentrate on the person. This helps me to ‘tune in’.

Throughout the healing I keep my hands within the ‘aura’ of the person, usually within two inches of their skin. I keep my left hand mainly just behind the neck (negative) whilst my right hand (positive) moves around and over the body. Everyone finds his or her own ‘best way’ of doing it. This is MY way, the way that I feel the most effective.

All healers feel different sensations, some feel cold, heat, and hands vibrating and so on. With me I feel intense heat where the healing is needed. I can also feel the power ‘bounce’ through the body from my right hand into my left hand. I always leave the person by placing my hands on their shoulders again and asking God to let the healing carry on. I feel that this completes the circuit around the body.

When the healing is over I feel as if I am a Disciple, carrying on the work of Jesus.

To me, healing is the most precious gift God could ever give me. I accept, I appreciate it and shall always do it to the best of my ability.

You are all capable of healing others in your own way.

May Gods Love, Light and Protection be with you always?

Sadly Frances has passed to the other side. All who met her, where appreciative of her simple and direct belief, which was strong and sincere? She is sadly missed on this physical plane. Spiritually, she is one of those golden lights that shine whenever the way seems too dark.

Frances Reilly, an indomitable woman, surviving many physical and spiritual challenges. To become a leading light in the Page Moss area of Liverpool, Great Britain. Frances was a vivacious and talented lady whose sense of humour could overcome much of the cruelties of life. For a tiny little lady, with a whole series of painful, physical ailments and a body punished cruelly throughout her life. This beautiful soul shone amongst friends and the public alike.

Her greatest joy was to receive a bouquet of Yellow Roses from Sammy Davies Junior whenever he visited the North of England. Her greatest pride was in her son Christopher the only surviving child from ten painful pregnancies.

Her most powerful memory is with ‘us’ the people she left behind, all too soon. Frances was tiny physically and had a heart the size of the world. She would do anything for you, be there as friend and as support.

She had so little materially having been burned out of her home by local vandals twice, and as she said the second time ‘ the Bronx would be easier to live in than here’. Yet she stayed and made it known she would not be beaten, would not ‘give in’, to bullies and idiots.

She had so little fiscally because she spent her meagre income on the ‘old folk’ whom she cooked meals for and delivered. (This was when she was in her early sixties!) Frances was a fount of wisdoms and a particularly wonderful friend to those who had fallen on hard times. Her humour was ‘off the wall’ her adventures where many…in fact they probably warrant a book all have there own.

Frances left a legacy. The day after her burial, her son and I began to sort through her material world. A sad and unhappy task. The next day I received a phone call. Christopher had eventually worked his way to the attic. He had found his ex army father’s hidden arsenal! Semtex, Detonators! Tank and land mines! He was stood outside the house, at the bottom of the street. The Bomb disposal unit of the Army was on its way. She really did, nearly go with a bang! I can still hear her laughing. Frances would have loved it.

And we really did love our own little Reilly.

We still do.

I promised Frances that one-day, the world would know of her beautiful soul. This is my testimony to my friend. Her works may never have reached the dizzy heights of professors and doctors of this or that. Yet her work is far more powerful than she would accept herself.

Though no academic, I watched this tiny little lady confound the whole of the medical profession in the Royal Liverpool Hospital. With Spiritual Healing from ‘us’ and from herself, she came off life support after a triple bypass operation in 3 days and walked, head high within three weeks out of the hospital, healed and healthy, the operation was a success and for eleven extra years we had Frances with us. The transplants had lasted longer than anyone else’s, her recovery was greater than anyone else’s and to her delight,  her surgeon was fascinated by the process and asked permission to talk of her Spiritual Healing at a seminar that very weekend of her operation.

Frances didn't just write about her abilities and interests, she truly lived them and as a result she was a shining example to us all. Personally I can never thank the powers that be enough, for my friend, my councillor and mentor in life. I witnessed her levitate and write her initial on the ceiling, crystal gaze and heal, she dumbfounded me and a whole lot of other people.

She humbled me with her truths and her trust and her loyalty. I never did feel I repaid them enough. I have been most truly blessed when the powers allowed her into my life and I am very grateful, very grateful indeed. 

Frances was a wonderful hotch potch of humour, passion and so many attributes, a true bouquet of British quirkiness, Scouse humour and pure undiluted womanhood. Wherever you are Fran’, I miss you girl.

Love

Mother.
