Welcome to Healing discussions! / Dads sick
August 31, 2003, 10:52:30
I read your posts and you sound just like my father. Some of you are opposite but mom said I need balance. You see, dad is one of those demon possessed Democrats. You know the type. Signs in his yard, on his car, group trips to protest one thing or another. He is even a card carrying member of the ACLU. He is so bad that he only buys organic grown foods and feeds his pet cat fresh shrimp. He is as crazy as a loon. Pres.Bush has really pushed his buttons and now he is  flying the American flag upside down. I called the local witchdoctor at the health food store where dad gets all his medicines; but he hung up on me. So, I drove down there to the store and low and behold his American flag was upside down too. ITS A BIOLOGICAL AGENT FROM A TERRORIST. It makes everyone see upside down and I do not know how to cure my dad. Can you help before it becomes a nationwide epidemic?
Hurry! He is a sick man.

PSYCHIC ATTACK

When an attack takes place, the Psychic Vampire receives an energy surge while the

victim experiences fatigue. People who "suck" the energy of others are

called "psychic vampires." This "sucking" takes place when one's energy is depleted

and needs to be replenished so he or she "sucks" the energy of another person. It is

not unusual for a person who is ill or feeling inadequate emotionally to draw upon or

deplete energized individuals of their life force. These "suckers" are not bad people,

most of them are not aware on a conscious level that they are doing what they are doing.

Still, their unknowing actions can play havoc with anyone who leaves an energetic

opening for this type of thievery. It is important for us to be aware that we may be

susceptible to having our energies stolen from us and learn ways to protect ourselves.

The harm in a psychic attack is that there is no fair exchange of energy and therefore one

feels depleted while the other becomes energized.

SYMPTOMS OF PSYCHIC ATTACK

leaky or diminishing aura dizziness loss of energy muscle tension  

mental confusion headaches chronic fatigue sleep disturbances  

irritability depressed mood physical illness  

You begin to see others or one person receive your wishes and desires on a regular basis.

TRAITS OF A PSYCHIC VAMPIRE

experiences feelings of abandonment or rejection

needs constant reassurance never feels satisfied seeks nurturing

low energy - fatigued Insecurity low self esteem

usually overweight/underweight

PROTECTION AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACK

Become aware of what individuals deplete your energy and limit your contact with them.  

Visualization Techniques - Build walls of protection or create a bubble of light

surrounding your auric field.  

Crystal Shields - amulets for protection

SEEING AURAS  

First of all, what exactly is an aura? It's an electromagnetic field that surrounds all living things.  

They can be seen as well as felt, or sensed.  

Auras can reveal a persons emotional well being as well as physical state.  

There's no one method to seeing auras, the method given below is my personal way.  

First there's the background.  

Some sources say that when reading an aura it's best to have a very dark black or red  

background, other's say to a white one. I've tried both and found that for me darker is much  

easier. Next, the aura is generally strongest around a person's head, but it you don't have  

another person to try this with, your own had will work fine.  

Pick a point just beyond your hand and let your eye unfocused (it's very similar to the way you  

view a 'magic eye' picture for those of you who know what that is). Eventually a thin white  

band will come into view. This is the first layer of the aura. Once you're able to view the  

white band, fix your gaze a little ways beyond it. Eventually a colored(s) band will  

come into view. Note, this stage is much harder to see, after a ton of practice I still  

can't see it every time. Each color has a meaning which is posted below.  

RED: Energy, strength, courage  

BRICK RED: Anger  

DEEP RED: Sensuality  

CRIMSON: Loyalty  

PINK: Cheerfulness ,optimism  

ROSE: Self love  

ORANGE: Joy, vitality, balance of mental & physical  

YELLOW: Wisdom, creativity, spiritual  

GRAYISH YELLOW: Fear  

GREEN: Ingenuity, compassion ,growth  

PALE GREEN: Healing power  

GRAYISH GREEN: Pessimism, envy  

BLUE: Spiritual, idealistic, imaginative, intellectual  

GRAYISH BLUE: Melancholy  

ICE BLUE: Intellectual  

PURPLE: Spiritual power

TO STRENGTHEN YOUR PSYCHIC SHIELD

The night before the Full Moon, find a place where your altar will not be disturbed for 24 hours.  

Put the cauldron in the center with a red candle on the right side, black candle of the  

left side, and white candle in the back; but do not light them yet.  

Sprinkle a mixture of equal parts of elder blossoms, marjoram, mint and rue in an unbroken  

circle around the cauldron. Into a tiny vial, measure equal drops of clove, frankincense,  

jasmine, and lavender. Set the sealed bottle in the cauldron and leave until the night  

of the Full Moon. On Full Moon night, take a cleansing bathe and robe yourself in white.  

Carry a good protective or purification incense through every room in the house.  

Make certain that the smoke drifts into closets.  

Return to the altar and light the candles. Take up the dagger or sword. Face the  

East and raise the sword in salute. To salute in this manner, simply hold the sword  

point upward in front of you. Say:  

By the power of the rising sun, all evil in my life is done.  

Turn to the South, salute, say:  

By the power of darkening night, my shield is strong, my armor tight.  

Turn to the North, salute, say:  

By Full Moon in blackening sky, I am not alone. My help is nigh.

The Goddess's hands around me stay, To keep me safe by night and day.

Begone, foul spirits, unbidden here. I send you back, I do not fear.

For I have won. I am set free. You have no further power over me.  

Face the altar and take up the vial of oil.  

Put a drop of oil on your finger and anoint your forehead, heart, solar plexus, wrists and ankles.

As you do this, visualize a shining blue suit of armor slowly descending over your  

body until you are entirely protected. Cap the bottle and store in a safe place.  

Thank the Powers for their help and extinguish the candles.  

Apply the oil and repeat the chants whenever you feel the armor is slipping.

THIRD EYE RITE TO IMPROVE PSYCHIC POWERS

Perform this neo-Pagan ritual to improve psychic powers three days before the moon is full,  

and preferably when it is in either the astrological sign of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio.

Begin by brewing a strong magical tea made from yarrow or mugwort (herbs that  

stimulate the psychic senses) and then light thirteen purple colored votive candles to  

help attract psychic influences.

Drink the tea and then gaze fixedly into a magic mirror, crystal ball, or crystal pyramid  

as you chant thrice the following incantation:

I invoke thee, O Asariel

Archangel of Neptune  

And ruler of clairvoyant powers.  

I ask thee now to open my third eye  

And show me the hidden light  

Let me see the future.  

Let me see the past.  

Let me perceive the divine

Kingdoms of the unknown.  

Let me understand the wisdom  

Of the mighty universe.  

So mote it be!  

After chanting, relax, breathe slowly and concentrate on opening your Third Eye.  

Do not permit any negative thought to contaminate your mind.

The Third Eye, an invisible chakra located in the middle of the forehead above the  

space between the eyebrows, is the human body's highest source of power,  

supernormal sight and clairvoyant vision.

A SPELL FOR PROPHETIC DREAMS

Before You Begin: Be Careful This is a rather simple spell, but you are "playing with fire"  

before bedtime. Make sure you have extinguished all burning things before you cross  

into slumber. Sprinkle some Jasmine on your pillow, and make sure you have a dream-journal  

or the like at your bedside to record your dreams in, and brew a cup of mugwort tea.  

(NOTE: mugwort is unhealthy in large doses, so go easy, and consult an Herbal Reference  

book if you're worried. Light blue candles on your altar.  

If you want to gain insight into your passions or your loves, burn Damiana as well.  

Watch the smoke as it coils, and allow it to carry you off into the trance-like state that you  

spend most of the day avoiding. Say whatever comes to mind, appealing to the goddess  

or god of your choice to guide your dreams. I usually say something like:  

Blessed be the Lord and Lady, For they created the world, The earth to hold,  

The sun to warm, The moon to guide, The spirit to dream.  

Take sips of the mugwort tea as you repeat the words, gaze into the smoke,  

and when you feel yourself just about to "cross the line" blow out the candle(s) and say:  

"So mote it be." Go to sleep. Dream away. Just remember, you don't always get to hear what you'd like.

VISION SPELL

If you wish to have a vision true, then put together this witches brew.  

Mix this oil, this sacred potion, charged with power and devotion,  

filled with Marigold, Rosemary, Clove, Mugwort, Lavender, Jasmine and Rose.  

Make an incense of the same, to ignite the mind, the mystic flame.  

Smudge with incense and anoint with oil, to cleanse yourself of mortal toil.

Chant this chant to start your mission, as a trigger for your vision:

Vision, Sight and deep perception, mystic light and meditation,  

trance or conscious my eyes shall see, the other side shall come to me.  

Now sit in thought, in meditation, lost in mind, in concentration,  

wait for the vision that you desire to come to you within the hour.

CHAKRAS

According to East Indian philosophy, we possess seven major *Chakras* or psychic centers on the body.  

Each of these forms a bridge, link, or energy transformer; changing pure (higher) energy into various  

forms, and connecting the four bodies (i.e.. spiritual, mental, astral, and physical) together.  

The chakras are located along the nadies (a network of psychic nerves or channels) and  

follow the autonomic nervous system along the spinal cord.  

Chakras correlate with major acupuncture points along the 'governing vessel meridian' (acupuncture term).  

The seven major chakras are connected together by three major nadies which are parallel and near each other.  

The middle nadi is called *sushumna* and it has neutral characteristics.  

The nadi on the left (i.e.. nearest your left hand) is the *ida* nadi which has yin characteristics.  

On the other side of sushumna (nearest your right hand) is the *pingala* nadi, having yang qualities.  

Chakras are visible to clairvoyant sight as varously colored rotating circles or funnels.  

In the East they are described as petaled flowers or lotuses.  

While in Western Shamanism they are devined as Spirit Tunnels.  

There are many minor chakras throughout the body but in this writing we will focus on the primary  

seven as the others are beyond the scope of this discussion. Each chakra has a color and sound  

letter and a pitch associated with it which can be used to invoke it. Chakra Locations and Associations

*Root Chakra*

Located at the base of the spine at the perineum, it primarily relates to the element of earth and  

to psychic smell. It is a very bright shade of red and you can chant "oohm" in tone C while focusing on this area.  

*Sexual Chakra*

Located above and behind the genitals. Its dominant element is water, and it is related to psychic  

taste. It is a clear shade of orange. You can chant "ohm" in tone D for this one.  

*Solar Plexus*

Located at the navel and corresponding with the emotions and the element of fire and also psychic  

sight (clairvoyance). It is a bright sunny yellow color. Chant "ahm" in tone E for this one.  

*Heart Chakra*

Located over the heart and corresponding with the element of air and psychic touch. Visualize a bright  

green or a bright pink. Both are seen as the color of this chakra. Chant "ah" in tone F for this one.  

*Throat Chakra*

Located at the base of the throat (thyroid) and corresponding with psychic hearing (clairaudience.)  

A light shade of blue, you can chant "ehm" in tone G for this one.  

*Third Eye*

Is located between and slightly above the eyebrows.  

This chakra is the center of psychic powers and can produce many psychic effects.  

Meditation on this chakra is said to cure nervousness.  

A transparent indigo blue in color, you can chant "eem" in tone A for this one.  

*Crown Chakra*

Located atop the head, (pineal gland) is the seventh chakra.  

It is referred to as the thousand-petaled lotus and corresponds with astral projection and enlightenment.  

Violet or white are both seen as the color of this chakra.

RITUAL TO IMPROVE PSYCHIC ABILITIES

Three days before the full moon (preferably when it is in Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio), light  

13 purple-colored candles to help attract psychic influences. Gaze into a mirror, crystal ball  

or crystal pyramid and chant three times:  

Asariel, Archangel of Neptune and ruler of clairvoyance,  

open my third eye and show me the hidden light.  

Let me perceive the kingdoms of the unknown.  

Let me understand the wisdom of the universe.  

After chanting, relax your mind, do not permit any negative thoughts, breathe slowly and  

concentrate on opening your Third Eye. The Third Eye, located in the space between  

the eyebrows is the body's highest source of power.

PSYCHIC POWERS RITUAL

Perform this ritual to improve psychic powers three days before the moon is full,  

and preferably when it is in either the astrological sign of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio.  

Begin by brewing a strong magical tea made from yarrow or mugwort (herbs that  

stimulate the psychic senses) and then light thirteen purple colored votive candles  

to help attract psychic influences. Drink the tea and then gaze fixedly into a Magic  

mirror, black bowl full of water, crystal ball, or crystal pyramid as you chant thrice the  

following incantation:

"I invoke thee, oh Asarial, Archangel of Neptune And ruler of clairvoyant powers.  

I ask thee now to open my third eye And show me the hidden light.  

Let me see the future. Let me see the past. Let me perceive the divine Kingdoms  

of the unknown.  

Let me understand the wisdom Of the mighty universe. So mote it be!"

After chanting, relax, breathe slowly and concentrate on opening your Third Eye.  

Do not permit any negative thought to contaminate your mind. The Third Eye, an  

invisible chakra located in the middle of the forehead above the space between  

the eyebrows, is the human body's highest source of power, supernormal sight and  

clairvoyant vision.

ASTRAL PROJECTION

This technique is superior to others because it does not require intense visualization,  

which many people cannot do. One of the chief barriers people learning to project  

face is fear. Many are afraid that they may die, or be harmed in some way as a result  

of their projection. Nothing could be farther from the truth.  

Step one:  

Relax the body. the ability to relax is the first prerequisite, perhaps even the first  

step itself to having an OBE. This includes both physical and mental relaxation.  

Do not suggest a method of attaining this relaxation, although Progressive Muscle

relaxation, coupled with deep breathing exercises (inhale 1, exhale 2, inhale 3....  

until 50 or 100) are known to work well.  

Step two:  

Enter the state bordering sleep. This is known as the hypnagogic state.  

Once again, do recommend any method of doing this. One way is to hold your forearm up,  

while keeping your upper arm on the bed, or ground. As you start to fall asleep, your arm will  

fall, and you will awaken again. With practice, you can learn to control the Hypnagogic state  

without using your arm. Another method is to concentrate on an object. When other images  

start to enter your thoughts, you have entered the Hypnagogic state.  

Passively watch these images. This will also help you maintain this state of near-sleep.  

Step three:  

Deepen this state. Begin to clear your mind. observe your field of vision through your  

closed eyes. Do nothing more for a while. Simply look through your closed eyelids at the blackness  

in front of you. After a while, you may notice light patterns. These are simply neural discharges.  

They have no specific effect. Ignore them. When they cease, one Condition B. From here, one  

must enter an even deeper state of relaxation which calls Condition C-- a state of such relaxation  

that you lose all awareness of the body and sensory stimulation. You are almost in a void in which  

your only source of stimulation will be your own thoughts. The ideal state for leaving your body is  

Condition D. This is Condition C when it is voluntarily induced from a rested and refreshed condition  

and is not the effect of normal fatigue. To achieve Condition D, suggest that you practice entering  

it in the morning or after a short nap.  

Step Four:  

Enter a state of Vibration. This is the most important part of the technique, and also the  

most vague. Many projectors have noted these vibrations at the onset of projection.  

They can be experienced as a mild tingling, or as is electricity is being shot through the body.  

The cause is a mystery. It may actually be the astral body trying to leave the physical one.  

For entering into the vibrational state, offer the following directions:  

Remove all jewelry or other items that might be touching your skin.  

Darken the room so that no light can be seen through your eyelids, but do not shut out all light.  

Lie down with your body along a north-south axis, with your head pointed toward magnetic north.  

Loosen all clothing, but keep covered so that you are slightly warmer than might normally be comfortable.  

Be sure you are in a location where, and at a time when, there will be absolutely no noise to disturb you.  

Enter a state of relaxation.

Give yourself the mental suggestion that you will remember all that occurs during the  

upcoming session that will be beneficial to your well-being. Repeat this five times.  

Proceed to breath through your half-open mouth.  

As you breath, concentrate on the void in front of you.  

Select a point a foot away from your forehead, then change your point of mental reference to six feet.  

Turn the point 90 degrees upward by drawing an imaginary line parallel to your body axis up and  

above your head. Focus there and reach out for the vibrations at that point and bring them back  

into your body. Even if you don't know what these vibrations are, you will know when you have  

achieved contact with them.  

Step five:  

Learn to control the vibrational state. Practice controlling them by mentally pushing them  

into your head, down to your toes, making them surge throughout your entire body, and  

producing vibrational waves from head to foot. To produce this wave effect, concentrate  

of the vibrations and mentally push a wave out of your head and guide it down your body.  

Practice this until you can induce these waves on command.  

Once you have control of the vibrational state, you are ready to leave the body.  

Step six:  

Begin with a partial separation. The key here is thought control. Keep your mind firmly focused  

on the idea of leaving the body. Do not let it wander. Stray thought might cause you to lose  

control of the state. Now, having entered the vibrational state, begin exploring the OBE by  

releasing a hand or a foot of the "second body". suggest that you extend a limb until it comes  

in contact with a familiar object, such as a wall near your bed. Then push it through the object.  

Return the limb by placing it back into coincidence with the physical one, decrease the vibrational  

rate, and then terminate the experiment. Lie quietly until you have fully returned to normal.  

This exercise will prepare you for full separation.  

Step seven:  

Dissociate yourself from the body. Monroe suggests two methods for this.  

One method is to lift out of the body. To do this, think about getting lighter and lighter after  

entering this vibrational state. Think about how nice it would be to float upward.  

Keep this thought in mind at all costs and let no extraneous thoughts interrupt it.  

An OBE will occur naturally at this point.  

Another method is the "Rotation method" or "roll-out" technique.  

When you have achieved the vibrational state, try to roll over as if you were turning over in bed.  

Do not attempt to roll over physically. Try to twist your body from the top and virtually roll over into  

your second body right out of your physical self. At this point, you will be out of the body but next to it.  

Think of floating upward, and you should find yourself floating above the body.

THE FOUR PLANES

To get successful results from magic, work must be done upon all four of the planes.  

In ascending order, these are the physical plane, the emotional plane, the mental plane,  

and the spiritual plane.  

The PHYSICAL PLANE:

Suggest working with a structure which is similar to a four-story house when practicing magic.  

She says to imagine that the ground floor represents the physical plane. This floor contains  

a number of rooms, each representing a particular magical technique appropriate to this plane.  

This is a room where oils are blended and poured, a room where candles are molded and  

consecrated, a room where waters are created, a room where powders and incense are  

compounded, and a room where crystals are cleansed and charged with energy. Each of  

these rooms is dedicated to a particular element, so that as you work with these physical  

tools you learn about the four elements and their correspondence to the various facets  

within your character.  

There is a kitchen with a large hearth; this is your lab. And there is an herb garden just  

outside the kitchen. There is also a storage room which contains supplies of magical tools.  

As a novice, you will, of necessity, spend more time obtaining supplies for magical practice  

than in creating the supplies themselves. Later, when you are more experienced, you may  

decide to specialize in the creation of one or more magical tools. Finally, there is a small room  

which serves as a temple where, after all your preparations, you may practice your Magick.

There are 2 important reasons to practice magic on the physical level.  

First: physical materials such as herbs and incense stimulate your senses, which in turn  

activate certain areas of your psyche and create an emotional state in you conducive to  

the practice of magic. Second: the use of physical materials grounds energies generated  

on the higher planes so that you obtain tangible results from your magical operations.

The EMOTIONAL PLANE

According to Nancy Watson, this is the second floor of the house. It also contains several rooms.  

There is a quiet room where you can daydream and visualize what it is you want to achieve.  

There are studios where you can experiment with music, dance, or the visual arts to see what  

effect these have upon your emotional state. And there are a variety of therapy rooms available  

so that you may release the emotional stresses which are the primary cause of physical illness and pain.

The emotional plane plays a pivotal role in magic. Desire to achieve a goal urges you to move up  

on level to the mental plane where you can plan your magical operations for optimal results.

The MENTAL PLANE

The third floor is a symbol of the mental plane. This story is a vast library, with books of knowledge  

on all subjects, not just metaphysics and magic. There are chairs and couches so that you can mull  

over your goals and plans in comfort. There are writing desks, where you can create affirmations  

and incantations. The only sound tolerated here is the muffled shuffle of cards and the click of  

runes or coins as oracles are consulted. Feel the analysis and planning you do on this level are  

critical to the safe achievement of your goals through your practice of magic.

The SPIRITUAL PLANE:

The fourth and top floor represents the spiritual plane. This is a large and lovely room, filled with  

works of art of all that has ever been held sacred on Earth. There is a beautiful brazier, containing  

the fire of purification and creativity. The roof opens, like the dome of an observatory, on clear  

starry nights. A spiral ladder climbs to the open sky so that you may without hindrance observe  

the starts, offer prayers, and receive the influx of divine inspiration. It is a generally quiet plane,  

except for those times when chants and music are heard.

the work you do on the spiritual level affects all lower levels, and gives depth and permanence  

to your magickal operations.

These four planes comprise the formal architecture of magic.

Welcome to Metaphysics! / Fascism
August 30, 2003, 09:32:01
Claims of men standing on soap boxes. We are headed in the direction of fascism so long as Bush, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Poindexter and the far right group remain in power. Have they been sleeping since the last quarter of the nineteenth century? Fascism? How these soap box politicians forget the story of the "Ghost Dance" an the notorious massacre at Wounded Knee, in which U.S.troops killed a band of Sioux Indians who had dared to flee their reservation after the "medicine man." You are worried about fascism and Federal controls of your lands. I did not see you at the Wounded Knee Pow Wow, or hear your cries for freedom and liberty for our Native Americans families when they were herded up like buffalo's and caged into reservations tracts. Still today on the boarder towns of these reservations the rich mans jails are 90% Native Americans and they still live in poverty experiencing racism first hand. Fascism? There is an old tale from the Mede Ojibwe culture of Native Americans. It is about two fatherless boys sitting in the sand talking about their fathers who they do not know. A fight begins between these two boys, both claiming my father is greater then yours. As the fight intensifies and they come to blows. The spirit of the wolf hears their cries and comes out of the woods and eats both of these spoiled children declaring you are brothers.
Some Native Americans have returned to Indian ways and have returned to the surviving "Ghost Dance." So, tell me sir; how can you be worried about fascism?
