G'day Folks!

Wherever this topic is going, I think its healthy. Whoever you are and whatever you believe in, in Western society you will eventually come across born agains, baptists, christian fundamentalists of all types. So, here is an opportunity for everyone to test out their wit and mettle in this arena. So debating here has merit for everyone.

On a personal note, I would like to see the christian fundamentalists posting here go head to head with a person with a Phd level in religious studies. They would 'blow' them out of the water, I kid you not.

I have made a few comments here, and thrown some bait, but none has been taken.  I say again, there is 'no' historical proof to support what is in the bible. The only thing that supports the bible is the bible itself. This is fact, provable, etc. Anyone want to take the challenge??  

My religious schollar friends tell me that christians 'hate' this mention, re its true and cannot be debated. Fact.

I also love the way that christian fundamentalists only take what they like from the bible, and ignore the rest.


Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

Just a quick update....

Bookings for the UK workshop are going very well. We have about 15 places left; out of a total of 50.

If the workshop goes well and there is a demand, another workshop at the same venue may be possible in say May or June 04.

I'll post details of the Costa Rica workshop here when the date is set. I am hoping for February or March 04.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Tisha!

A brilliant article!!!!!

I loved it!!!!!!

All very true too.....

You have a lovely, fresh and down to earth touch with words.  When you finish tinkering with it, please send me a copy and I'll have it put on the Astral Pulse. I hope you write more.

Yes, a good idea about my articles. I've got close to 30 articles posted on my website, and many times that on my hard drive... in various states of disrepair. Some links to these posted on the forum would be a great help.  Note that we are redesigning the indexing on the website to make the articles more visible.

Keep up the excellent work.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

The only thing that supports the bible is the bible. I say again:  there is no historical evidence to support the new testament.

G'day Folks!

A fun topic by the looks of it all....

But it has a serious side.

I have known a number of devout born again type christians to experience spontaneous OBE.  They have told their church that they were 'taken up' and shown visions.  This is recieved well by churches as the 'terminology' used to describe OBE experiences fits their paradigms.

This only goes to show that it is not so much the experience of OBE, but the 'terminology' used to describe it that matters to devout christian type people.

On a more serious note, this type of fundamental christian view of OBE can cause a great deal of harm.  Many christians, including ministers, I have know and helped, who have experienced OBE related symptoms, eg, paralysis, rapid heartbeat, vibrations, etc, interpret this as major satanic attack.  The symptoms thus needlessly terrorize and traumatize them, when they are actually just harmless and natural phenomena.

With regard to 'letting go of ones mind', or emptying the mind, etc, newage and Eastern terminology also gets in the way. If you use terms like 'focusing the mind' or 'clearing the mind' or 'quietening the mind' then christians take less offense.  The act of clearing the mind involves strength and discipline, and such a mind is far less vulnerable to negative influences than any other 'non disciplined' mind.

Keep all this in mind when you discuss these matters with christians as a simple change in terminology can overcome most such arguments.

Also, I always wonder about the other 80% of the world's population that are non christian when I come across this type of dogmanic argument. But then again, they probably think the same way about the christians.

Btw, are you aware that there is absolutely 'no' historical proof to support 'anything' written in the new testament?  The only thing that supports biblical history is the bible itself. This is fact that can be ascertained through historical records and university religious studies. The earliest historical evidence of christianity and the bible are a few late-third century 'fingernail sized' fragments that historians consider could 'possibly' be fragments of a very early version of the bible.

There is a big difference between 'popularly believed' history and 'real' history that can be supported by hard evidence.  However, most christians are not interested in the 'real' truth, only in the 'comfortable' truth.

Also note that freedom of thought is 'actively' discouraged in fundamentalist type christian churches, where members are told what to think and what to believe, so this situation is likely to remain unchanged.


Take care, Robert.

G'day!

Below are the venue times.  Guests can arrive on Wednesday the 26th of November after 6pm. No meals will be served this night, but we'll have nibblies and the bar will be open, etc.  Also, a fish and chip shop is 5 minutes away, and we will have a car available.

The workshop is fully catered by the absolute 'best' macrobiotic chef (French) in the world. So you can expect magical food at every meal.  Also, tea and coffee and biscuits will always be on hand.


DATES & TIMES (local UK time)

Thursday         27th November                  10am - 9pm'ish
Friday              28th November                   9am - 9pm'ish
Saturday         29th November                    9am - 9pm'ish
Sunday            30th November                   9am - 5pm    

*Guests can arrive at Buckland after 6pm Wednesday 26th November, 2003 (Program does not start on this day)

So, to answer one question, not, you don't have to buy food as everything is catered for.  The accomodation is luxurious to say the least.  And as for the cost, try booking similar accomodation in the UK and see the cost, and you'll find its very similar to the Wales venue, which of course includes myself and etc.

All hype aside, this will be a progenitor of a workshop; not to be missed.

To see the promotional page for details of the workshop content, go to:  http://www.astralpulse.com/buckweb

The above link was faulty for awhile, but we just had it fixed thanks for our new stand in webmaster, the incredible Muzza!

All hail the Gods of computer science!!! (note that our original webmaster, Zufo, is not well and could use heaps of prayers)



Take care, Robert.

G'day!

All is not lost.

I will probably be leading another workshop in Costa Rica early next year.  This will be at www.hotelcostaverde.com (a great site)

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

I'm still trying to track down my copy of 'Reader Over Your Shoulder' or is it 'my shoulder'. This is an old book written by a couple of American English professors, invaluable.

Amongst other things, this contains a list of 40 rules for good writing. These should be memorized by all serious writers, they are that good.

If anyone gets hold of this, maybe they would like to type out the rules and send them to us so we can put them in the articles section of the forum.

Take care, Robert.

We're making good time with the new ms, MAP. My coauthor and I are sweating blood sweat and tears into the ms, but we are confident of making it, and will probably finish an hour before its due:)

G'day folks!

For a writer, touch typing speed is bread and butter.

Typing speed = productivity.  

I have to repaint most of the letters on my keyboard once a year, re I wear them out.

I have seen two fingered typists who can type over 60wpm, but the amount of energy and concentration is ridiculous.

The importance of smooth touch typing cannot be underestimated for a writer. You gaze at the screen in a deeply relaxed semi-tranced state, totally focused on the flow of ideas and words, fingers gently moving over the keyboard, ideas flowing smoothly onto the screen.

I learned to touch type on an old program called PC FastType. This is simple and very good DOS based and uncluttered.  It was freeware. I have been trying to find it for a couple of years so I could make it available on my website, and to give to friends, but can't locate it. If anyone comes across it, please send me a copy or the url.

On a good day I type at about 140wpm with reasonable accuracy, 99%,  but probably average 90wpm with 100% accuracy. I've seen legal secretaries type at 250, which is quite amazing to see, so I still have room for improvement.

The only time you really need full speed is when you are writing from the heart, or copying something. Normal writing/creating involves lots of pauses for thinking.

The keyboard you use is important.  I like the original MS Natural, the big one they first brought out.  I killed mine a year ago (spilt beer over it) and am still looking for another original natural. The one I have now is probably the second version of the MS Natural. Its not quite as big, but better than the small MS Natural they now sell in shops.

MS Natural keyboards are way better than the standard 101, as you rest your hands on them and this takes the strain off your neck and makes for more comfortable typing. So if you have neck or back or wrist problems, MS Natural is the way to go.  It takes a few days to get used to them, but you soon learn to love them.

Did you know that the qwerty keyboard was designed to slow down the typist, so the keys in the old mechanical typewriters would not get tangled.  Dvorak keyboards have a much more logical layout and can more than double your typing speed. I plan to change over one day soon.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

Yes, everything you have written that has been published in any way should be added to your kudo list. You will find you can do quite a bit in presenting such stuff 'creatively', so it goes from droll to interesting.

Your work as a technical writer means you can say you have a background in technical writing, etc, which is another good point.

Its all in 'how' you write this.

Technical writing and fiction writing are not that dissimilar. Writing is writing and once you become a writer you can write 'anything'.

Have you ever heard of the 'million word rule'?  This was coined at a sci fi convention (James Tiptree Jrn, I think), and its fairly accurate. The rule is that you have to write one million words for publication before you can write one publishable word. When I signed my first contract I went back through my files and did a rough count and, yup, I was just over the 1mil word count.

Becoming a writer involves programming the mind with words and a certain level of communication ability. Its all about that flow of words and turn of phrase that a writer has. Its also about kick starting the subconscious mind and creative ability, eg, the muse.

My first article, 500 words, which I wrote about 1991/2, took me 5 months to get right. But its been downhill ever since. At first you struggle with how to say a thing just right, but after awhile it just comes to you much easier, and the more you write the easier it comes.

You get better at writing the more you do it. Its kinda like karate. I have had a lot of practice.  These days, my first draft is almost publishable quality.

There are also a lot of devices you need to learn. You'll find out about these as you devour writers books.

Brevity is the heart and soul of written language. Its all about stimulating the illusion in the reader's mind.

For example, if I gave you 10 minutes exactly to describe an African sunset as tightly and briefly as possible, what would you have at the end of it?

Some of you may like to take this challenge, and I'll comment on all that are posted.

Two books I recommend are"

The Art and Craft of Novel Writing (Author?)
Reader Over My Shoulder (Author?)

The last may read (over your shoulder) instead. This is a pretty old book but its unique in its advice, eg, how to help readers by writing better, by following 40 rules. These rules should be committed to memory.

I lent these out ages ago, but, books are never lent but lost...

I also recommend that aspiring authors use everything they write for training.  One thing that helped me was email. I do a 'lot' of email, and for years have used this for training. When you do email, write the best you can and then give it a quick edit. Don't use contractions and net lingo and etc. Write your best. Every word you write adds up and helps program your brain, for that flow of words and turn of phrase you ultimately seek.

Yes, insecurity is a strange thing, as are fear of success, fear of failure, etc. But as you say, if you really think about it, taking an outline and spending a couple of years hammering it out into novel form is a bit far fetched. Theft does happen, but its rare.

Never get caught without a pen and paper, even during sleep. Ideas come at the strangest time.


Take care, Robert.

ps, I'll drop in from time to time but I'm under deadline with 8 weeks till submission. We're in the advanced states, but revising a 600 page ms takes time, so I better get back to work.

G'day!

I have thought of this, but have not lived my way through the best parts yet, so will wait till later.

I do plan to write some autobiographical stuff in a book called 'Dark Waters', one day. There are a few snippets of my life given in Practical Psychic Self-Defense.

I'm currently tossing up between writing a fiction novel (a spiritual adventure based in Aus), or a book called 'Healing Dynamics', which I accidentally started writing a few months ago. I have a proposal in for the latter and have received a bit of interest from a good publisher so far.

But the jury is still out to lunch while I finish Mastering Astral Projection. Which reminds me, I should be working.....

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

To become a writer is to become incapable of doing anything else.

Yes, a new topic on 'agents' is a good idea.

If a temporary copyright agency costs more than a few dollars I'd think twice about it. Every man and his dog is trying to make a buck out of new writers.  And it is well known that new writers are overprotective of their work. Theft of intellectual property, especially fiction ideas, is actually quite rare.

Yes, E books are a good way to go and they have huge potential for the future.

Supply on demand publishing is also good. I know a couple of writers who have been successful in this arena.

Every country and state has some kind of government agency who's mission is to promote local writers. These should be the first port of call for any new writer.

Anyone who plans to tackle a novel is well advised to master the short story format first. Short stories are also quite easy to sell, magazines and etc, as are articles. If you look at it, a novel is just a collection of very closely related short stories, so the skills are needed.

What you read while you write will affect what and how you write. So be careful what you read.

Write 'something' every day, even if its only a few lines. This keeps the 'writing process' ticking over so the ideas keep coming.

The self publishing idea to gain kudos is not too bad if you have nothing to put in your resume'. But any serious publisher will see through this very quickly. Giving away your work is another idea, eg, write stuff to give away on the net. Everything should of course contain a copyright notice, but doing this will get a lot of people to read your work. This is what I did, even though I had no plans on becoming a writer, which was an accident.

We are hoping to start a monthly newsletter soon and may be open to accepting short stories and articles for this, should anyone feel like submitting for this platform when its functional.

We'll also have an e book store. Authors can sell their work there, and also give stuff away like books, feature articles and short stories, etc.

Frank Herbert, author of the 'Dune' saga, was rejected 'hundreds' of times because it was too 'weird'.  Then one day Frank 'accidentally' sent his ms to a publisher of auto workshop manuals. The editor, who happened to be a sci fi buff, liked it so much he changed directions and published what was to become a great best seller.

Steven King started as a writer of mainstream fiction, unpublished for many years. He became friendly with a publisher and send in some of his work. The publisher liked the work, but it did not quite fit his list, so he asked for more. This went on for some time and eventually King ran out of ms's. The publisher once again asked for more and, having nothing else, sent in a rough ms of a story he had been working on for fun. Horror was just his hobby.  He sent in the ms for 'Christine' .... and the rest is history.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Timeless!

First, an appology.  I kind of accidentally deleted the other topic in Astral Chat.... groan.  I posted a couple of extensive posts and then a friend turned up and distracted me while I was trying to fix the formatting on the outline article, and I pushed the wrong button and 'poof!' the topic was gone forever, lost in the astral realm of good intentions.

To get published these days is very difficult.  Most writers can paper a wall in rejection slips before they get seriously published. And unfortunately, 99.99% of writers give up long before this happens.

I got a rejection slip once, but only because the publisher was swamped on books they had to produce.  I sold the book the very next try.

What you need is a plan.  Many fine books are rejected simply because the author is unknown, and it would thus be difficult to market their books.  Because of this, tis advisable to seek to become known beforehand.  This is best done by writing and placing articles and short stories, and by winning awards. This is a kind of invisible apprenticeship.

Added to this, the writing discipline must of course be gained. This is the force that drives one back to one's keyboard every day.

As for the outline method, I'll repost it soon as I fix the formatting, which is crucial.

But its fine to use other methods, as long as they are clear and easy to understand at a glance. For fiction, it can be better to include a mini synopsis for each chapter.

Yes, I think the E book idea is good. Writers can also do same on amazon.com and etc.  

As for agents, hmmm, yes, there are loads of flakey ones around that are more interested in taking your money than marketing your books. Most of those that charge a monthly fee are suspect.  The most a 'real' agent will do is ask for a reading fee, to cover their time reading an ms and deciding if they will take it up and etc. After this, a real agent will wear all costs as this is part of what they do for their eventual percentage.

More later........

Take care, Robert.

Thanks Astralmaster!

I've emailed Marc and am hoping for a reply soon.

I was sent a full set of Marc's CD's for review, and have a number of people test them out.  About 90% experienced OBE's or LD's the first time they used them.  However, this percentage lowered greatly during repeat attempts. I am thinking that these CD's trick the brain into allowing OBE and LD and etc, but that some kind of safety mechanism cuts in after the first time, if a person is not ready to experience such altered states. Hmmm, still thinking about this one.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Forum Folks!

An excellent topic.

All of the above areas need extensive investigation and experimentation in order to find out what works and what does not work and why.

This is not easy because there are many different types of negs, and what works on one may not work on another.

Also, while negs can be removed with some devices and methods, keeping some types away is the most difficult part.

Some kind of barrier is therefore needed, maybe a sonic or em field type of barrier would work, but again this would take a lot of experimentation. Something along these lines is called the Q Link, which can be found at www.enlightenment.com This device is not designed with neg's in mind, but I think this would repel many neg types.

One must also consider what factors attract negs and which factors repel negs. Some negs seem to be part of the natural selection process.  Core images, lifestyle, stress, inner peace, psychological balance, plus one's association with neg-infested people, also play a part in attracting certain types of negs. Other types seem more opportunistic and random by nature.

The problem with experimentation is that you need a real life field situation in order to experiment, eg, an active manifestation or a person with an active neg problem like possession or psychic attack.

There are ways to do all this, but it would require a lot of money. I plan to set up a research center sometime in the future where all this can be done, but this is way beyond my present means. Ideally, I would like to obtain a few acres or a small farm a few miles out of town and grow the research center one piece at a time.


I am hoping to gain the means to do all this, but have no way of telling how long this will take.  To help with this, we are planning a light commercial website to work alongside the Astral Pulse. Hopefully this will bring in the necessary $'s to get things moving.

The first step in this direction will be the creation of an opt in monthly newsletter. All forum members will be automatically added to this list. This will contain new articles and news and etc, plus a little low key advertizing to help us grow the planned research institute.  The working title for the new center is 'The Bruce Institute', or TBI for short.


Take care, Robert.

G'day!

I suggest you seek the services of a good practicing witch or magician to break this attachment.  If you don't know anyone like this, email Nita@astralpulse.com for advice and help.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

Hey, I love the new forum engine; really cool!

Maria just told me that the planned workshops will be held in a new cluster of villas they have just finished building. You should be able to see these somewhere at www.hotelcostaverde.com

If this works out, maybe I'll do a workshop there once or twice a year. Maria and I are becoming good friends and this resort is also a very friendly laid back kind of place. It should be fun, even though I've never given a workshop before, nor even attended one. A learning experience for all methinks.

We'll start up a forum to discuss this, moderated by the workshop coordinator, Maria, in a few weeks time. So everyone will be able to find out the details, as well as give Maria ideas on the workshops.

Maria is currently trying to convince me to fly to her resort to do voice recordings of AD and PPSD. Hmmmm, maybe...

This would be good for me as I've become a bit of a hermit over the past decade.


Take care, Robert.

Dark Side of the moon is one of my faves....

G'day Forum Folks!

Thank you for your concern.

No, I have not been abducted by ET's again:)

Those damned probes are a real pain in the butt. . . .

Forgive me, I have not been able to spend the time I would like to on the forums, simply through a lack of time.  I love interacting here, but needs must as the devil drives, or so they say.

Here's an update on my situation.....

I am knee deep in my new book, 'Mastering Astral Projection: a 90 day program', and working long hours to catch up, re I have fallen way behind schedule. This will be a 'great' book.  We have been offered a contract by Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing, but are still negotiating at the moment.

Kundalini Dynamics is on hold, re I do not have the facilities to continue my high level investigations into such things at the moment. Hopefully, things will improve in the near future. I simply cannot devote the necessary time to this project at the moment.

When I am writing, I get up at dawn and collapse sometime after midnight, when my eyes can no longer focus.  This book will be about the size of AD, probably A4 workbook size, so you might imagine the work that is going into it. This will come with a pc CD with some custom made Bwgen presets for use with the program.  (see www.bwgen.com) As you might know, I am a single father with school aged children, so my time is doubly stretched.

I still do a couple of hours email every morning, but over the past few months my inbox is approaching 600 again. I could really use a PA and secretary:)

I get onto the forums whenever I can.  But when I am writing I generally rely on people to point out posts that I need to attend to.  

We are also trying to discover funding, to get TBI off the ground (The Bruce Institute).  I have big plans, but it all comes down to discovering the $$$ to get things moving. We have some irons in the fire and, fingers crossed, this will start happening soon.

There is the possibility of some workshops coming up later this year. If
the deal comes off, it will be held at Hotel Costa Verde, in Costa Rica,
South America.

Check out  WWW.HOTELCOSTAVERDE.COM

Pretty cool place, aye....

I have no idea how much this workshop will cost to attend, as I've never done one before. I've never even attended one, but from the look of this resort I don't think it will be budget priced.  If it goes ahead, it will be a
learning experience for everyone, myself included.  But it sounds like fun and I could really use a holiday out of my office. If this works out, I plan to get some surfing and diving in too:)

Our lovely organizer, Maria, is not sure if she'll gather a group of authors and do a mixed workshop thingy, or if she'll do a solo one with myself.  We are thinking of starting up a main topic soon to generate some ideas and feedback to help with planning.

That's about all for now....


Take care, Robert.

Dear need,

I'll keep this short and to the point.....

The depression and hopelessness radiating from your reply is tangible, and you have my sympathy.  But you seem to have rejected just about every helpful insight and piece of advice that anyone on this forum has given you. Even my simple advice, that you discontinue using the term Guardian Angel for the source of your woes, has been totally ignored. Your replies are evasive and circular, and you continue to focus doggedly on your original explanation and on the utter hopelessness of your situation. You also openly doubt and contradict yourself in many places.  No one can possibly help you while you insist that you are beyond hope. You can only help yourself.

It must tell you something when experts continually disagree with you, and as you have said, psychic healers and etc keep telling you exactly the same things over and over and over again. Your explanation for this, that everyone is controlled by your guardian angel, is totally illogical. You are the only person who sees your situation as you do.  Please have a good think about all this.


Take care, Robert.

G'day Need, folks....

I really don't know what to say on this topic, so will start with a few statements.

1. Psychological disorders, delusions and congnitive distortions of reality 'always' go hand in hand with serious, especially long term, negative entity interference and attack.  Negs work through the mind and the energy body, and this is how they attack you. Access to the mind, especially the subconscious, is the gateway to the energy body.  To think otherwise is ludicrous.

2. The healthiest approach to freeing yourself of such a problem is to tackle it on all fronts, physical, psychological, medical, spiritual, metaphysical, and karmic.

3. In my experience, the guardian angel (GA), holy guardian angel, higher self, spirit, overself, God, whatever you like to call it, simply cannot be corrupted. This is like saying that an archangel has been corrupted. Only the human subconscious and soul elements can be corrupted, not the eternal spirit. To believe this has happened is to believe that God has turned evil, and therefore that God and all things holy are incable of helping you. This would mean that you have turned your face from God. However, all this may result from a cognitive distortion, and as such is reversable.

4. If a spiritual being is interfering with and attacking you long term, then it is most probably firmly attached to you. Such a negative being would most probably be demonic. I suggest you identify the source of your woes with a clear negative term, eg, demonic, rather than in a corrupted positive sense, eg, corrupt guardian angel, when you discuss it. This will stop a lot of confusion and help provide a clearer perspective and direction to face.  However, if you insist on using the GA term in a negative sense, please provide your evidence and reasoning here.  Note that I will take some convincing....

5. I have known afflicted people to seek the help of literally hundreds of healers and psychics, and all have failed. In such cases, it is generally found that the victim is just as attached to their demons as their demons are to them. The underlying problem can be likened to alcoholism, in that no one can help remove such problems until the victims are totally ready to unload their problem, consciously and subconsciously.

6. My suggestion is that you apply the methods given in my book, PPSD. In particular, perform the running water plus visualization method four times per day, for 15 minutes each time.

7. Your problem may indeed result from a curse of some kind. Therefore, you may like to contact Nita (Nita@astralpulse.com) and go into your problem in greater depth. Nita has a great deal of experience with problems like this; far more than I do.

8. You may like to do what I did when I found myself in serious demonic hot water, as per my book, PPSD.  Find a place where you can camp over an underground stream or river. Camp directly over it for a week, fasting. This is an ancient method of cleansing serious attachments. Another way is to bury yourself in shallow sand on a dry river bed for several hours per day, until cleansed of neg attachments.

9. Another option would be for you to contact my friend Romero, and if he agrees to help, maybe you could travel to his pranic healing centre in Portugal.

10. If your problem is indeed demonic attack, you will be experiencing noticeable phenomena that both you and others will be able to clearly perceive. High magic is generally needed to deal with a demon, given that a demon has a similar level of power as an angel.

11. In an ideal world a healer or metaphysical practitioner would only have to wave their magic wand and negative entity problems would just disappear. This does happen occasionally, but it is a rarity. In reality, considerable effort is generally required on the part of both the healer and the victim to help uncover and deal with the underlying problems relating to serious neg problems. Basically, the victim is given the choice to either get busy living or to get busy dying.

12. I wish I could help more, but it seems that everything the people on this forum have offered has either already been tried, is too difficult or impractical, or conflicts with your beliefs.  No offense, but you might like to consider developing a more positive and proactive attitude.


Good luck with your quest.....


Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

First, Maoli-chan's parents send their hearfelt thanks to everyone on the forum, for all the prayers and healing.

We now have a ray of hope.

My mate Jack (aka Dr. Turner, neurosurgeon, healer, writer) arrived in Tokyo last night and went straight to the hospital.   Maoli-chan has been diagnosed with 5 active tumors in her brain. But Jack seems to think that the CT (non contact) is not giving a clear picture. He seems to think that at least 4 of these may not be tumors at all but bleed areas, caused by Maoli's weeks on the heart-lung machine.

Following is the latest update from Dr. Jack. We'll know more soon after Jack meets with Maoli-chan's doctors.

Situation:

Maoli-chan is awake and alert, no facial and there is no shift on the CT from
the large lesion which is about 3cm or so.

Her father, Koji, was told that Maoli had 5 brain tumors. To my eye, the scan shows 5 areas of hemorrhage which most or all may have been due to the heparin and/or heart-lung machine that she was on for weeks.

Maoli is wide awake, hemiparetic on the right, but I did see some movement
in her fingers. It is just less than two days since the event.

I will explain in detail to all soon, but now, and perhaps due to God's
intervention, the situation seems quite different than what I was led to
believe.

It is Monday morning 5:30 here. This afternoon I meet with the doctors and
family and will discuss this issue.

I see this as the plan:

tomorrow a tracheotomy

repeat scan this week

repeat scan in two weeks

MRI to determine if there are actually brain mets or not

consideration of gamma knife and/or intracranial surgery.

Let's hope it follows this plan.

Jack.

G'day Folks!

I am absolutely shocked to hear that non-Australian people consume alcohol!

But please dont' get the wrong idea: I don't drink very much, I just kinda spill most of it..... hic...!


Oldfashioned Aussie Boozing Advice:


1. Stick to one kind of drink and don't mix. Its ok to have a glass of champers for a toast, but then go back to your standard poison. And never switch to spirits just because you are full and can't drink anymore.  Your stomach is trying to tell you something, so just admit you are full!

2. Find something that does not cause a bad reaction in your system. Everyone is different so its a matter of experimentation.  Every brand of beer or wine or spirit is different, and each will cause a different reaction.

3. The 'quality' of what you drink is important.  Cheap whisky or etc will give you a massive hangover, whereas an expensive malt will give you only a mild headache.  This particularly applies to the quality of wine.   Cheap cask wine will do it to you every time:)

4. Drink a large glass of 'water' between each drink of alcohol (water, not soda).  If you are in a picnic or BBQ situation and want to appear sociable, eg, that you are not a total wowser, fill a beer can or bottle with water and carry it with you between alcoholic drinks.  Or, get a wine glass and pretend the water is wine, etc. If you are drinking red wine, add a dash of rasberry or etc.

5. Snack and eat while you drink.  Wine is about 1/3 the strength of spirits. Remember this next time you swig down that large glass of red.  Also, champagne will get you drunk faster than anything, re its highly carbonated and the carbonation forces it into your blood stream very quickly.

6. Before bed, drink as much water as you physically can hold.

7. Keep a bucket by your bed, just in case you can't reach the big white telephone and call your old mate Hui for a chat, eg "Huuuuuuuiiiiiiiiieee"

8. If you wake up at 3 or 4 am with a bad headache, take a full dose of asprin (asprin works best) and more water, then go back to bed.  You might still wake up feeling sick, but at least your head will not be throbbing so much.

9. Over the shelf anti inflammatory medication helps a lot if you get a hangover headache. Ice packs are also good to reduce brain swelling.

10. You will find that if you eat a large meal before a night of drinking, you will not be able to drink as much and what you do drink will not affect you as much.  Drinking on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster.

11. Pace yourself and drink at your own pace. Don't empty your glass just because someone else is ahead of you, no matter what they say.  If they insist on giving you another drink, take it and just let it sit on the table, or toss the other half drink away instead of tossing it down your gullet.

11. Some emergency advice:  If you find you are totally smashed after a party and 'know' you'll be really sick the next day, but you have to work or function in some way, an old sailor's trick will save the day.  Drink as much water as you possibly can, and then take a swig of ipicak (sp?) syrup, eg, that stuff you keep in your medicine cabinet to give people if they take poison.  Make sure you are in the bathroom when you do this. After you have emptied yourself, take plenty of activated charcoal and water, some asprin and vitamins, and then sleep it off. You'll wake up fresh and healthy, or at least reasonably functional and pain free.

12. A less severe way than the above to minimize the damage is to just take activated charcoal with lots of water before bed, with a couple of asprin.  This absorbs the poisons of alcohol and helps stop the coming brain inflammation, etc.

13.  Finally, if you blow it and end up with a massive hangover, I recommend Vegemite tea, eg, melt a couple of heaped teaspoons of Vegemite in a cup of boiling water, add a dash of pepper and salt and drink.  Take one of these with a couple of slices of toast.  If you can hold this down, drink a few glasses of water with vitamins, asprin and anti inflammarories. Then go back to bed for two hours (don't forget the bucket). You'll wake up reasonably functional.

14. Finally2, anyone who physically passes out through alcohol should be taken to hospital for treatment and or observation. Any loss of consciousness is serious!  I had a very good friend (Mick) killed by friends who did not follow this advice. His friends dumped him on his parent's front lawn and just left him there.  He rolled onto his back and drowned in his own vomit.  At the very least, put comatose friends into the coma position, so they cannot possibly roll onto their backs and drown (that's why they call it the 'coma' position).


Cheers!!!!


Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

I must make a clear definition concerning running water countermeasures.

1. Crossing running water will break any Neg attack, as long as the attacking Neg has not achieved 'hitchhiker' or 'overshadowing' status.

2. Lengthy exposure to a significant quantity of running water will weaken attached and hitchhiking Negs, and if continued for long enough will break attachments and evict resident Negs.

3. Exposure to running water plus visualization, as per PPSD, say by standing under a shower or atop many coils of garden hose gushing water, will break a Neg attack, and will also break manifestations of attached Negs.
By this I mean that if an attached or possessing Neg is trying to manifest through its host (the victim) and they carry this procedure out, it will drain the manifesting Neg and stop it manifesting.  This will not actually exorcise such a Neg, but it will stop it taking control (full possession) at that time and weaken it to the point where it cannot do anything major for some time.

Unfortunately, just taking a boat ride will not remove an attached Neg. A couple I have been helping with serious Neg attachment problems recently went on a 6 day boat trip on a river.  While on the boat, the symptoms of possession and Neg influence were greatly reduced, but did not stop entirely. When they got off the boat at the end of the trip, the Neg related problems returned full force.  

Now one would logically think that such exposure to running water would evict any possessing entity. But this obviously does not work.  We don't know enough about the energies we are working with here, so much experimentation is needed. I suspect that the trick is, for evicting an attached entity, involves an unknown interaction between the surface of the earth and running water.  

In my case, when I freed myself of major possession (see PPSD for the full story), I spent a week in the hills sleeping on the ground directly above an underground stream of potable water.  Apart from fasting, (which I have proven will not remove an attached Neg), the main ingredients in my release were that I was sleeping on the ground, in the dirt, above a large quantity of moving potable water, eg, clean and drinkable water moving beneath me.

The conditioning and damage that KB speaks of is an important factor to realize.  To truly take oneself out of the reach of Negs, one must remove the internal factors and weaknesses that are attracting Negs and/or allowing them to influence and/or interfere.  This is an ideal solution, but only really works for adults who have the intellect and willingness to undertake such work.  Children, especially babies, are outside the reach of this equation.  However, if parents of Neg effected children undertake this work, problems will be greatly eased, if not solved, for their children.  

I have long suspected that parents problems generate many of their children's problems, eg, 'the sins of the fathers are passed on to their children, and their children's children's children, etc'.  So, logically, apart from using sensible countermeasures as necessary, the ideal long term solution would be for parents to undertake inner work to restore their mental and spiritual balance.

However, the problem is that if parents do not have any noticeable Neg problems, they are more likely to seek an alopathic remedy for their children's problems, rather than undertake any inner work for themselves. This is because the cause and effect of Neg related problems are often unclear and difficult to identify.

The most direct method I have found to achieve such inner psychological and spiritual balance can be found in the early lessons given in Franz Bardon's book, 'Initiation Into Hermetics', especially the 'Soul Mirror' work.

I can boil this down into a nutshell by quoting the greatest single piece of advice every given:  "Man, know thyself."



Take care, Robert.

G'day Jack!

I will send distance healing and prayers to Titus.

Maybe some kind of a donation fund could be set up to help.  

Ideas anyone?

One idea would be for you to print a copy of the NEW Energy Ways tutorial and give it to Titus.  Or, you could teach her yourself. It only takes a few minutes to learn and it could really help boost her immune system and ease her spinal condition.

Take care, Robert.

G'day Folks!

Maoli is one in a million affected each year. The tumor is called: Hepatoblastoma.

Maoli has had a number of tumors successfully removed from her liver and both lungs.

Currently, she has five small tumors in her brain and one is bleeding. They may try radiation therapy to try to stop the bleeding, but they cannot operate.

Maoli-chan is her pet name. Her full name is 'Maoli Kasai'.
Her parents names are Koji and Eriko Kasai

Maoli-chan is currently at the below hospital:

 Jikei-Idai General Hospital
 3-25-8
 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku
 Tokyo, Japan

I hope to be posting a new picture of Maoli-chan here soon, taken in her new room.  She is being shifted out of intensive care so her parents can comfort her better. Her mother has not left the hospital since Maoli was admitted.

My dear friend Dr. Jack (neurosurgeon) and his wife Mikie are on their way to Tokyo as I type.  Jack will be immediately applying Joeri (Japanese style healing, which is kind of like a cross between Reiki and fresh flower healing) plus his medical knowlege to help Maoli.

I will update this post as new information comes to mind.

Many, many thanks for everyone's help and support....
