			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had some wild dreams last night and wanted to record them as a way of interpreting the symbols.<br />
Dream 1:<br />
Josh and I were hanging out with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. We were in a large house that seemed to go on forever. John Lennon was telling us he was going to take us on tour with him and Yoko. We had recently met and he was interested in our spiritual ideals. Yoko was singing (in a normal voice) and I told her it she was a great singer- very strong and clear melodies. John went to take a nap. Josh was taking a bath in a large claw foot bathtub. I was sitting in the bathroom talking to him as he bathed. Yoko came in and got into the tub with Josh. I was weirded out because she wanted to sleep with my boyfriend, it seemed that was her way of trusting a man. I got a psychic flash of John napping nude in his bed- and if I wanted to leave Yoko and Josh alone I could go cuddle with John. I refused and just watched while sitting on the wet bathroom floor Josh flipped around and around in the tub to keep Yoko off of him. She then just wanted to give him fellatio- but he was moving so much she became a black blur in the tub. Later John was in a purple sgt. Pepper silk jacket- he was being interviewed and taking care of business. I told Josh we had better finish our business with them by 1981 because we know what happens then. I asked Josh what year it was to see if we had a lot or just a little time with John. I asked Yoko if she ever saw flashes of the future- because Josh and I had seen our future and what we were supposed to do with &#8220;the Lennons&#8221;. I remember telling her we were going to drop acid together at some point. I got the impression John worked most of his time away with strangers he was trying to educate (namely the press).<br />
Dream 2:<br />
Josh, Laura and I were in a large Catholic church during a high mass. I had never been to this type of mass before but Laura knew the ceremony well. There were lots of prayers said in Latin as the parishioners acted out various parts of the &#8220;play&#8221; like ceremony. There was a large effigy of a bull on the &#8220;stage&#8221;. A lovely black woman walked towards the stage to take her part. Laura nudged me and said- look she is wearing street clothes but I swear I just saw her in ceremonial robes walk toward the stage. Laura could see the &#8220;psychic&#8221; impression of the higher meaning of the &#8220;play&#8221; as if the characters were coming alive within the people acting it out. The large bull then became real- very real. It seems this was not odd for anyone but me and a little bit for Josh. The bull began to run free in the church as if it was able to judge &#8220;good and bad&#8221; from its animalistic state- a divine bull. The bull came close to me I awkwardly laid above the pew on the back of it- trying to to get stepped on or gored. As the bull studied me I remembered I had eaten meat recently and wondered if the bull would be mad at me for being a carnavour. The bull sniffed heavily bringing it horns close to my eyes and then walked on. I walked toward the altar (stage)to get out of the scene. Others were &#8220;judged&#8221; by the bull. It reminded me of May day or Easter- the bull then had flowers around its neck. Again the bull came to me and again I had to get in an awkward posture to avoid its weight from pressing on me. Josh was right next to me- as the bull began wavering back and forth josh began to nod with it- as if they were energetically in alignment.</p>
<p>Thats when I awoke <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Strange dreams full of symbolism. I hope they foretell changes in my life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just had a vision with Ewan McGregor singing me a Song I&#8217;ve never heard</p>
<p>He sang it slow enough for me to write it down</p>
<p>Think of Ewan in a blue suit like in the movie &#8220;Down with Love&#8221;</p>
<p>I live in Moonlight Among the Stars</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Always Twilight</p>
<p>in your arms</p>
<p>The sky cast the Raven Shadow upon her brow</p>
<p>Wonder Follows, She is Sleeping Now</p>
<p>Momma is weeping now</p>
<p>AVE AVE</p>
<p>Love is always on it&#8217;s way</p>
<p>Arriving all Times of Day in all Familiar ways</p>
<p>The Nightengale sings</p>
<p>She Remembers her Dreams</p>
<p>The Rocking-horse winner</p>
<p>Always torn to bits</p>
<p>(It was not my hobby it was my life)</p>
<p>Yet she rustles in the wind</p>
<p>She whispers in the Temple</p>
<p>She seeks Light in Shadow</p>
<p>She who Glows, Knows</p>
<p>AVE AVE</p>
<p>She speaks Awaken</p>
<p>as she weeps</p>
<p>Mourning for the Sunshine of Lost Heros of Lore</p>
<p>Awaken, Let Her See</p>
<p>The Light That Shines in</p>
<p>Me,</p>
<p>Thee.</p>
<p>We</p>
<p>Nightingale Sings</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Due to personal visions- I am imbibed with my own sense of the Kali Yuga.</p>
<p>Yet as always my own sense agrees with my recent research-</p>
<p>&#8230;some of the attributes of Kali Yuga:</p>
<p>In relation to rulers</p>
<p>    * Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly.<br />
    * Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.<br />
    * People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.</p>
<p>In human relationships</p>
<p>    * Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other.<br />
    * Ignorance of dharma will occur.<br />
    * People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.<br />
    * Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.<br />
    * Sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish.<br />
    * People will take vows and break them soon after.<br />
    * People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs.<br />
    * Men will find their jobs stressful and will go to retreats to escape their work.<br />
    * Gurus will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama will wrest control of the mind from all human beings. Brahmins will not be learned or honoured, Kshatriyas will not be brave, Vaishyas will not be just in their dealings and Shudras will not be honest and humble in their duties and to the other castes.</p>
<p>If you find this sounds familiar I encourage you to do your own research.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mental illness</p>
<p>James Neil Fox asked me If I think All Mentally Ill People are Failed Mystics LOL<br />
Now I don’t Know!</p>
<p>All the cases of MENTAL ILLNESS I have seen are misunderstanding- miscommunication- a mercurial and moon issue- crossed wires due to pain, abuse, well it all boils down to fear.<br />
If you think you are a famous person-say you think you are Napoleon- maybe you used to be Napoleon in a past life, maybe you knew him then and admired him, maybe you identify with his life story or his character or archetype; maybe he is the father you wish you had or the man you wish you could be. All of these reasons for thinking you are someone else are valid- who is to tell you otherwise? I don’t KNOW YOU- how could I- am not in your head with you. How could I possibly diagnose you? What gives me the right to tell you what you are?<br />
Society Rules are restrictions on the spiritual life of mystics. No harm, no foul, just too imaginative? Sorry if my ART is too GRAND for your tiny perception- but it does not make one crazy. Crazy is the label used by the unimaginative!<br />
All the “greats” of all times heard voices, spiritual transmission of genius for invention, literature, and arts of all kinds. Any great artist knows their visions do not originate from themselves- it’s true look it up. Even the GREAT Carl Jung heard voices.</p>
<p>I understand the truth can be explained through Tara (maybe green).<br />
1) lions and pride<br />
2) wild elephants and delusions<br />
3) forest fires and hatred<br />
4) snakes and envy<br />
5) robbers and fanatical views<br />
6) prisons and avarice<br />
7) floods and lust<br />
8) demons and doubt<br />
It is said that, despite his having taken a vow before Amitabha Buddha to enable everyone without exception achieve liberation from the endless round of rebirth,  Chenrezi became so discouraged at the untold numbers of sentient beings that he began to cry.  From his tear was formed Tara.<br />
Compassionate One who saves from samsara! Goddess born of the tears of the Lotus-bearer, by the power of the vow of Amitabha; most loving one who strives for the benefit of others &#8230;  I cannot describe your infinite virtues &#8230; .&#8221;<br />
My truth is I don’t want samsara to be samsara anymore<br />
Tara shows me to look at the mustache or masculine side- then to come to an understanding of how to “Use” compassion.</p>
<p>The 21 Praises to Tara says &#8216;On the face of Chenrezi, she is born from a tear as a bud from a lotus&#8217; or &#8220;born from the opening corolla of the lotus face of the Lord of the triple world.&#8221;<br />
The apple of his eye?</p>
<p>A different account is that, while Chenrezig emerged from one of the eyes of compassionate Buddha Amitabha,  Tara came from the other.  In her iconography, the association with the red Buddha, Amitabha, is usually indicated by a tiny image of  him in her topknot. </p>
<p>The Sanskrit root tar- means &#8220;to cross [over]&#8221; meaning that this deity serves as a bridge.  But it also can mean &#8220;tree,&#8221; &#8220;particularly,&#8221; and is also related to &#8220;star&#8221; and &#8220;pupil of the eye.&#8221;  Shri Tara Devi is, to Hindus, the second of ten Mahavidyas according to a Hindu tantra that associates her to the Tibetan Buddhist Tara tradition.<br />
In Tibetan, she is called Dolma or Do&#8217;ma, though often we see Drolma because it follows the Tibetan spelling (a little more &#8211; if we transliterate, it is actually sgrolma).<br />
Sri Mamua Devi</p>
<p>the saying at the top of this page states, E kō kakōu Nā wā mamua E huna ai I kō kakōu i Nā wā i hala (Our Future Is Hidden In Our Past); it is through understanding our past that will allow us to blaze a path toward our future.</p>
<p>Dolma Sermo (Yellow Tara) from a series of the 21 Taras.<br />
epending upon how the initial letter is pronounced in the Indian languages, the name of Yellow Tara is variously transliterated Basundhara {Tib.: Norgyun, Norgyuma) Vasundhara, Yasundhara; Basudarini is a variant emphasizing her femininity, ie.  Norguuma in Tibetan.  Vasudhara is the consort of Vaisharavana (considered the same as Kubera or Jambhala).<br />
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE PUSHTIM KURU OM is a version of her mantra according to one source.<br />
She is related to Hindu great goddess Lakshmi, and her Sanskrit name Vasundhara indicates she is source of the eight &#8216;bountiful Vasus&#8217;- therefore according to the epic Mahabharat, she is the bounty that is the waters of the river Ganges &#8211; the goddess, Ganga whose origin is the snows of the Himalayas.  (The Vasus are the attendants of Indra at the time of creation of the physical universe according to the Rig Veda, possibly the oldest hymn of the pre-Hindu [or Buddhist] culture.)<br />
refers to Yellow Tara as Vajra Tara.  In the ritual composed by Mahapandit Sthavira Dharmakaramatipada the essence mantra reveals her as a true form of Tara:<br />
Om tare tuttare ture svaha.  </p>
<p>Manvantara<br />
Is there a 4th kaya?<br />
In &#8220;Transforming Poison into Nectar,&#8221; Drikung Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche teaches about empowerment with reference to four kayas.<br />
The 4th kaya is called, Svabhavikakaya (of an essence, or essential.)<br />
 H.E. Tai Situpa, explaining Mahamudra, says,&#8221; &#8230; svabhavikakaya (Tib. ngo wo nyi kyi ku) is not a further form of manifestation, but denotes the fact that the dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya are not separate from each other. They are just three different aspects of the state of a buddha, which is indivisible.&#8221;<br />
If we were to compare Dharmakaya to vapor, Sambhogakaya to clouds, and  Nirmanakaya to rain, then Svabhavikakaya is the essential nature of them all &#8212;  water-ness or moisture.<br />
A Further Example of Levels of Manifestation and Activity<br />
Yeshe Tsogyel was once a merchant who lived during the time of a former Buddha when she went before him and swore not to be reborn except for the benefit of beings.  She manifested as Ganga, the Indian goddess who sprang from Lord Shiva&#8217;s topknot to flow as the Ganges, the river watering the plain of north India, and then as Saraswati, the Indian goddess of the flow of language and music.  She was once a disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni, as well.  Then, according to Nyingma tradition, in 8th century Tibet, Guru Padmasambhava invoked Saraswati to manifest as a woman who would help disseminate the Mantrayana.  </p>
<p>http://www.khandro.net/doctrine_higher_teachings.htm</p>
<p>In the same tradition, Yeshe Tsogyel is an emanation of Samantabhadri, consort of  primordial Samantabhadra.  Both are Samboghakaya Buddhas.  In tangkas, he is depicted as dark blue in colour, and she as pure white.   Due to their union, Yeshe Tsogyel was born into this world, first as an Indian princess.<br />
Mahamudra<br />
Mahamudra is Sanskrit for the Tibetan Chagchen (spelled phyag-rgya-chen -po, or  -mo) associated with the Kagyu.  In the prayers that accompany the ngondro or &#8220;extraordinary preliminary practices,&#8221; we pray to achieve the fruition of our practices, Mahamudra.<br />
Mahamudra is like being immersed in the ocean, while Maha Ati is like looking over the expanse of that ocean.<br />
Being free from mind-productions, it is the Mahamudra.  Free from extremes, it is the great Madhyamika.  Since it is the consummation of everything, it is called the Great [Maha] Ati.  May I have the confidence that, by understanding one, all are realized.&#8221;</p>
<p>http://www.shenpen-osel.org/</p>
<p>&#8220;Karmapa says, being beyond any kind of conceptual limitation is Mahamudra. Being beyond any kind of extreme like nihilism, eternalism, etc. is the middle way, the Great Middle Way. The essence of all together, the unity of everything, is called the great completeness, Dzogchen. Then he says, by knowing any one of these, one realizes the essence of everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dzogchen and Mahamudra can both be taught as a progression of Ground, Path, and Fruition. Ground establishes the view and includes information including principles which we can use for orientation; Path involves the implementation of Ground and may refer to specific meditation techniques, and Fruition is the result of the Path &#8212; in the case of Mahamudra and Maha-Ati, it is Enlightenment.</p>
<p>These kinds of practices are considered to correspond to 10 steps on the road to enlightenment called, in Sanskrit,  bhumis</p>

<p>*the snakes I saw die- one pearl essence white, the other black- vishnua’s couch?<br />
Adisesha (Sanskrit) (from adi first + sesha from the verbal root sish to leave remainders)</p>
<p>Primeval residue; the mythological thousand-headed serpent (naga) upon which Vishnu &#8220;sleeps&#8221; during the pralayas (intervals between manifestations); also represented as supporting the seven patalas (hells) with the seven regions above them and therefore the entire world (VP 2:5). More often called simply Sesha; or Ananta, infinite; or Ananta-sesha.<br />
As sesha means &#8220;remainder,&#8221; &#8220;what is left over,&#8221; the main significance is that during the pralayas Vishnu, representing the cosmic divinity, is conceived as sleeping upon the substance of a spiritual character remaining over after the dissolution of the worlds. Thus Adisesha (primeval substance or remainder) is the cosmic spatial ocean of consciousness-substance left over from the previous cosmic manvantara which acts as the mother-substance or chaos from and in which the future worlds of manifestation will be born when pralaya ends. </p>
<p>**Maha-vishnu<br />
The first of the three Purushas, incarnations of the Supreme Lord for the creation of the material universe. He lies down in the Causal Ocean on the bed of Ananta Sesha and initiates the creation by glancing at His personified material energy, Maya.</p>
<p>the followers of the doctrine taught in a branch of the black Yajur-Veda.<br />
Named Charaka, as he had come to the earth as a wanderer, he then composed a new work on medicine based on the older works of Agnivesa. He is commonly accepted as an avatara of the Serpent Sesha, &#8220;an embodiment of divine Wisdom, since Sesha-Naga, the King of the &#8216;Serpent&#8217; race, is synonymous with Ananta, the seven-headed Serpent, on which Vishnu sleeps during the pralayas. Ananta is the &#8216;endless&#8217; and the symbol of eternity, and as such, one with Space, while Sesha is only periodical in his manifestations. Hence while Vishnu is identified with Ananta, Charaka is only the Avatar of Sesha&#8221; (TG 78).</p>
<p>Remainder; the karmic remainders of the preceding cosmic manvantara which become the basis for the manifestation of the present manvantara. Also the name of the seven-headed serpent of space on which Vishnu rests during pralaya, representing the seven principles of the cosmos in which the spiritual or unmanifested universe remains until the period for its new manifestation arrives, thereafter to become manifest by degrees. Sesha or Ananta, the couch of Vishnu, is an abstraction symbolizing ever-continuing cosmic life in space, which contains the remainders or germs of the future manvantara, and throws off periodically the efflorescence of these germs as the manifested universe. But during a solar pralaya, the cosmic spirit from which all flows forth, reposes sleeping upon Sesha, the serpent of eternity, in the midst of the kosmic Deep. Hence Sesha is considered Vishnu&#8217;s first vahana (vehicle) in the primordial water of space, before manvantaric activity begins.<br />
Makara as the Vahana (vehicle) of the goddess Ganga</p>
<p>The problem we are facing, as students in the Kagyu lineage, it seems, is the seeming contradiction between the teachings of the second and third turnings of the Dharmachakra.  Briefly put, the second turning emphasizes the emptiness of self and phenomena, the absolute nonexistence of any permanent, unchanging essence. This is the Madhayamaka view. Yet, the third turning, as exemplified by the Uttaratantra Shastra, espouses a permanent, unchanging Buddha Nature, inherent in all sentient beings, which is both the cause for their eventual enlightenment, and the fruit of said enlightenment.</p>
<p>It is very important to gain a proper understanding of these two different<br />
views. What is mainly taught in the system to which the Uttaratantra Shastra belongs is the aspect of awareness (Tib. rig pa) or clear light (Tib. od gsal), whereas in the system of the Madhyamaka the aspect of emptiness in the sense of freedom from conceptual elaboration is exclusively taught. </p>
<p>By contrast, rigpa in Dzogchen [cf. the name of Sogyal Rinpoche's organization] is [short for] rang.&#8217;byung  rig.pa&#8217;i   ye.shes,  ie. the wisdom of self-originated awareness. What does self-originated awareness mean?  It means that it is discovered for oneself through one&#8217;s own experience.  Since it is discovered without reference to any outer object, it is called the &#8220;wisdom of independent self-awareness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A mantra is like meeting the Buddha or Bodhisattva himself.&#8221; ~ Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche </p>
<p>Vehicle of the Great Goddess<br />
Anyone observant of the behaviour of lions in the prides, will recognize that the maned, male lion is not the leader as far as hunting goes; the lionesses certainly out-perform him.  And it is the lioness &#8212; in fact, a pair of them &#8212; that are associated with the Great Goddess of very ancient times, who was later called (by the classical Greeks) Kybele (Cybele, pron. Koubili.)  In fact, In a Chariot Drawn by Lions is the title of Asphodel Long&#8217;s book on the subject of this deity, who is not merely a consort or divine aspect, but a representation of Supreme Being.<br />
Qadesh or Qetesh, the Egyptian goddess of love and beauty was generally depicted nude and standing or riding upon a lion.  She holds flowers, sometimes, a mirror, or snakes.  She is one of the rare deities to be depicted full-face (rather than in profile.)  Later, she is called &#8220;Beloved of Ptah,&#8221; and is the consort of Min and the mother of Reshep.  However, that she originated as a form of the Syrian  love/fertility goddess seems obvious, for in Semitic languages her very name means &#8220;Holy.&#8221;<br />
Popular fiction writer, Anne Rice, wrote one of her earlier (1993) vampire novels, Queen of the Damned, inspired by this figure.<br />
Not surprisingly, the lion is the vahana of Devi, India&#8217;s Great Goddess.<br />
A mythological turquoise or lapis lazuli blue-maned white lion known as a snow lion has become the national symbol of Tibet.  And Achi Chokey Dolma is the protector who rides this lion.  In that way, she is the counterpart of India&#8217;s protector-goddess, Durga, who is also associated with the tiger.</p>
<p>Ras Tafari took the name Hailie Selassie on becoming first emperor of Ethiopia (1929.)  To emphasize his link with the tradition that the Queen of Sheba (widely thought of as Ethiopia, although scholars think it was Yemen) was a consort of Solomon, King of Israel, he adopted the Lion as his emblem and Lion of Judah as one of his titles. </p>
<p>Two things that can cause confusion:<br />
1.	not distinguishing between mind &amp; wisdom:  Wisdom is self-originated in the sense that it cannot be produced from outside oneself; it arises from one&#8217;s realization of reality, ie. Emptiness.   Mind is ever dependent on causes and conditions.<br />
Lady Peldarbum said to Jetsun Milarepa<br />
When you run after your thoughts you are like a dog chasing a stick; every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. But if, instead, you look at where your thoughts are coming from, you will see that each thought arises and dissolves within the space of that awareness, without engendering other thoughts. Be like a lion, who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. You only throw a stick at a lion once.</p>

<p>Like a Mirror, Like a Rainbow, Like the Heart of the Sun.<br />
He provided commentary for these 19 verses (#51 – 69):<br />
~ In a state of emptiness, whirl the spear of pure awareness;  People of Tingri, the view is free of being caught by anything at all.<br />
~ In a state without thoughts, without distraction abandon the watcher; People of Tingri, the meditation is free of any torpor or excitement.<br />
~ In a state of natural spontaneity, train in being free of any holding back; People of Tingri, in the action there is nothing to abandon or adopt.<br />
~ The four bodies, indivisible, are complete in your mind; People of Tingri, the fruit is beyond all hope and doubt.<br />
~ The root of both samsara [illusion] and nirvana [reality] is to be found within your mind; People of Tingri, the mind is free of any true reality.<br />
~ Desire and hate appear, but like birds in flight should leave no trace behind; People of Tingri, in meditation be free of clinging to experiences.<br />
~ The unborn absolute body is like the very heart of the sun; People of Tingri, there is no waxing or waning of its radiant clarity.<br />
~ Thoughts come and go like a thief in an empty house; People of Tingri, in fact there is nothing to be gained or lost.<br />
~ Sensations leave no imprints, like drawings made on water; People of Tingri, don’t perpetuate deluded appearances.<br />
~ Thoughts of attachment and aversion are like rainbows in the sky; People of Tingri, there is nothing in them to be grasped or apprehended.<br />
~ Mind’s movements dissolve by themselves, like clouds in the sky; People of Tingri, in the mind there are no reference points.<br />
~ Without fixation, thoughts are freed by themselves — like the wind; People of Tingri, which never clings to any object.<br />
~ Pure awareness is without fixation, like a rainbow in the sky; People of Tingri, experiences arise quite unimpededly.<br />
~ Realization of the absolute nature is like the dream of a mute; People of Tingri, there are no words to express it.<br />
~ Realization is like a youthful maiden’s pleasure; People of Tingri, joy and bliss just cannot be described.<br />
~ Clarity and emptiness united are like the moon reflected in water; People of Tingri, there is nothing to be attached to and nothing to impede.<br />
~ Appearances and emptiness inseperable are like the empty sky; People of Tingri, the mind is without center or periphery.<br />
~ The mind with no thought and no distraction is like the mirror of a beauty; People of Tingri, it is free of any theoretical tenets.<br />
~ Awareness and emptiness inseperable are like reflections in a mirror; People of Tingri, nothing is born there and nothing ceases.<br />
Truly dualism is the root of suffering. There is no other remedy for it than the realisation that all this that we see is unreal, and that I am the one stainless reality, consisting of consciousness. 2.16<br />
The body, heaven and hell, bondage and liberation, and fear too, all this is pure imagination. What is there left to do for me whose very nature is consciousness? 2.20<br />
I do not even see dualism in a crowd of people, so what do I gain if it is replaced by a desert? 2.21<br />
I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am not a living being. I am consciousness. It was my thirst for living that was my bondage. 2.22<br />
Truly it is in the infinite ocean of myself, that, stimulated by the colourful waves of the world, everything suddenly arises in the wind of consciousness. 2.23<br />
In the infinite ocean of myself, the wind of thought subsides, and the world boat of the living-being traders is wrecked by lack of goods. 2.24<br />
How wonderful it is that in the infinite ocean of myself the waves of living beings arise, collide, play, and disappear, in accordance with their nature. 2.25<br />
Of all four categories of beings, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass, only the man of knowledge is capable of eliminating desire and aversion. 4.5<br />
Rare is the man who knows himself as the nondual Lord of the world, and he who knows this is not afraid of anything. 4.6</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>*adults only please</p>
<p>During my lengthy involvement in alternative religions, the internet and local groups I have come across many types of tricksters. Recently I received an e-mail which I believe fits in this &#8220;trickster&#8221; category. I asked permission to use the e-mail as an example in my blog. The author eagerly agreed.</p>
<p>As a psychic counselor I have seen many people seduced by fancy cosmic talk. Such misnomers are claiming soulmate status upon meeting new people; pushing their will upon another; getting into your head psychically or through sex, telling you they remember you from past lives.</p>
<p>The Letter from the YouTube stranger is as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;Goddess<br />
Feel My Power Now Karinne&#8230; light a candle .. some insense&#8230; jasmine&#8230; receive me at your altar &#8230; open yourself to me mind body and soul&#8230;feel my lustful Serpent around you .. and in you Now !! I have sent a tidal wave of Love and Lust to you &#8230; you knew i was coming .. you have seen it in your cards&#8230;.and felt me in your dreams&#8230;..you have not .. will not banish me&#8230;.open yourself Now&#8230; float in The Cosmic Ocean of Love&#8230; feel your body tingle &#8230; realise you are worshiped as a Seer as a lady.. as the Muse&#8230;..open yourself to Babalon &#8230; embrace your Sacred Slut&#8230;return to me as a friend .. empowered&#8230; it is my Midnight in three hours.. I will project to you with good intention and respect then  I wish for you to be My Priestess in Love always X&#8221;</p>
<p>As students can we spot the manipulation in this e-mail?<br />
First and through out the letter I am flattered- fawned over and &#8220;loved&#8221;. He&#8217;s my number one fan so to speak. </p>
<p>He speaks of sexuality in an animalistic and root charkra or &#8220;base&#8221; manner. He seems to be all about the physical of my body and his gate way through to my body is apparently his spirituality. </p>
<p>He claims &#8220;you knew i was coming .. you have seen it in your cards&#8230;.and felt me in your dreams&#8230;..you have not&#8221;</p>
<p>No actually I have not. I am very aware of what I am receiving on a psychic level. Yet you can see if I was less aware how I may trick myself into thinking this man &#8220;knew&#8221; me on a soul level. </p>
<p>If I had the spooky image of a sexual beast in my head as my ideal man- I would fall for this deceit. I may even begin an internet affair based on my own Vanity (which he tries to inflate). If I was lonely- love starved- I may think he was the ONLY person who saw the &#8220;true me&#8221;- because honestly the &#8220;true you&#8221; really is that awesome.</p>
<p>I write this blog for those who could be tricked into an affair with the shadow. Know that the man who wrote letter does not matter- it is the example the letter shows. </p>
<p>Question your &#8220;soulmate&#8221; connections- There are many Sheep in Wolves clothing. Do not be fooled by their confidence- LISTEN to their heart as it confesses their trouble and fears. </p>
<p>Compassion is the lesson we are all learning. We do not have to play the fool to help the fools. Own your own power!</p>
<p>&#8220;Want a Savior? Want a Messiah? Just look Inside Ya!&#8221; I said that.<br />
Blessings!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I got a letter from the largest New Age publisher in the world-</p>
<p>http://secure.elabs6.com/functions/message_view.html?mid=908254&#038;mlid=20949&#038;siteid=12346080&#038;uid=b720405cb0</p>
<p>Saying Louise Hay- owner of Hay House Publishing suggest I purchase this product: </p>
<p>http://www.haylohealth.com/products/7</p>
<p>The Main Ingredient in this Haylo Product?<br />
Zombie Mushroom Spores!<br />
1000 mg Cordyceps mushrooms</p>
<p>Lets go to the video of Zombie Ants and other insects- who ate the mushrooms<br />
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://occultpriestess.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/new-age-zombie-apocalypse/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/scPOQC_Lpgo/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>The interesting thing is the spores that attack ants are NOT the same as the spores that attack other insects- the spores mutate to kill what is eating it. (This is my understanding- you decide)</p>
<p>My spirit guide says the spores are reserved for the lower kingdoms and will not hurt humans <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We&#8217;ll see! Just sounded like a Good Theory on Zombie making- I&#8217;m sure they will make a movie about it eventually. </p>
<p>In the mean time I am With M. Night Shamalan- &#8220;It&#8217;s Happening&#8221;!</p>
