Stop Teaching Bullshit! - Ancestors Know It All!

Many practitioners work with ancestor spirits and encourage their clients to do the same. Those who came before us have life times of wisdom to draw upon and insights to share.  

So does any book on self improvement. 

You can ask your great great grandmother if the ability to see spirits was in the bloodline before she was born.  She will tell you the truth IF she knows it.  But if you ask her if the Source of the magic that came from your father's side due to an ancient ancestor making a pact with a spirit of great power, how in the hell is she going to know?  Does your granduncle know what crypto currency you should invest in? The dude has no clue what you are talking about.

Just because you transition from a physical body, does not give you access to the Akashik record, or God-like wisdom. You do not become Einstein or Hawking just because you croaked.  

Please think.  If your family tradition holds that once you die, you go to Heaven or Hell, what makes you think you can get them on the psychic call?  They have left this dimension and are gone doing the next thing.  So if you contact them, and they have "all the answers you seek", odds are it is not really family, it is something that looks like or feels like your family.  

It's not a revolutionary idea. This theory was even postulated by Madame Blavatsky in the 1800's much to the dismay of other spiritualists and mediums of the day.  She went so far as to say that mediumship was evil. 

I certainly do not think this is the case all the time, it is a possibility.  While some practitioners and their traditions encourage tapping into the bonds of deceased family, it does not mean your staunch Catholic Aunt Ethel wants to reconnect the next time you visit an intuitive for a reading.

Stop Teacing Bullshit! - Shielding

The information being passed on is an echo of a whisper being presented on as cold hard immutable fact. Lessons are clung to from the old man who lived in the desert of the American Southwest and was the active practicing spiritual leader for the tribe and intermediary to the unseen world? 

The world has moved on from the exchange of tangible things to the trade of electronic "content". Knowledge about and interaction with the Unseen world is critical for the "average" person as knowing how to use google,or dial a cell phone.

It is wonderful that there are so many new outlets for the larger universal knowledge and new voices speaking powerful lessons that need to be heard.  The "average" person needs to hear these lessons to life a life in balance with the Unseen.  However the readily available knowledge on spiritual practices offered in the US are watered down mish/mash of multiple traditions, some misquotes from established religions, a heavy dose of personal development lessons from the more popular self help gurus,  all drenched in the reclamation of divine feminine power.  

Does the knowledge of the Old Ones still hold relevance today? 

Absolutely!

Does that Elder Knowledge need to be adapted or used to help inform modern practices?

Damn right it does.

Things to NOT DO!

Protection Practices: The thoughts and ways of creating shielding are outdated or down right wrong.

Energetic Shields are great. If you do them right. Most people do not do them right.

All Shields are breakable.  All shields can be penetrated. All shielding makes you a more interesting target.

White Light: (All-purpose protection)  You are flashing the bat signal on your self saying here is a target, come and get it.  Anything in the area that did not know you were there does now.  You are in a spotlight where ever you go from now until the energy dissipates.  Everything watching now knows where you go, who you interact with, what your patterns are and most importantly they can see when the pretty light winks out.

Gold Light: Said to attract archangels. Only only Archangels and energy of the highest good can get through gold light.  Uh, No.  You know who was angel, second in power only to God? You know some other angels were cast out along with that #2 angel right?  Guess what Gold light will not keep any of them out.

Green: Healing, and rejuvenating. Used when you are sick or ill. Uh, it is impossible to do that with your own energy without causing yourself harm

Lead Shield: Uh, what? Lead stops radiation. It is also poisonous to humans.

Mirrored Ball: Imagine walking down the street tacking in a beautiful sunny afternoon, thinking about where to stop for a bite to eat.  You see a human sized mirrored sphere next to a food truck.  The other people in line are talking to the sphere like it is a person.  Is your curiosity aroused? Do you approach the sphere to figure out what is going on?  Do you listen to try and figure out what is happening? Does trying to understand the sphere become your sole focus for a few moments?  Probably yes to all of the above.  Guess what?  That is exactly what energetic predators see.  You stand out like mad.

Most folks do not have the practice, focus or patience to make shields THAT WORK. 

The folks that do have the ability to create solid shielding are also adept at controlling and masking their own energy.  They don't wander the streets as a open Medium running up to strangers.  They don't on the spot readings.  

They are low key.  They don't have to flaunt what they do.  They just do it.

If you want to create energetic shield worth a damn, you need to master your own energy first.

Stop Teaching Bullshit! - I can teach ANYONE to Castout Spirits!

Um. No.

Let me put it this way.  Can you as a person, right now, slam dunk a basketball on a regulation net?  Probably not. If I show you how to dunk a basketball, does witnessing me dunk a basketball make you capable of dunking?  No.  If a sports scientist explains in immense detail the body mechanics, the physics, the anatomical functions and the technique required for a person to successfully dunk a basketball can you now dunk a basketball? No.  If you have a stadium full of people believing and cheering you on can you now dunk a basketball? Probably not. With sport specific training a few years of dedication and one on one coaching could you dunk a basketball? Possibly.  But probably not.

There are things that no matter how hard you visualize the outcome or train or practice or have coaching sessions about, you can not physically do.  The same goes with energy work. As a soul piloting a body to experience this reality, the potential of your body is also a limiting factor on your ability to move energy outside of your own body.

You can train and expand your ability to your maximum potential, but there will be a hard limit.  If you try to push past that limit, you can cause damage to your systems.  Things such as headaches, Light worker Flu, diminishing of abilities or body tremors are good signs you have pushed too far and too hard. Most of the time, slowing down and decreasing the intensity of you work will allow you to regain your health and abilities.  If by some trick or technique, you do push past your absolute limits, you risk permanent loss of energy manipulation abilities, irreparable physical damage or death. (Psychic feed back from unwilling and stronger beings and surges are a real thing.)

While this might not gel well with the story you wish to create of your life, it is important to realize everyone has limitations. Everyone also has specialties.  You may never pick up the back end of a car but you may paint a fantastic still life that brings joy. You may not be able to cast out a demon from a client, but you may be able to use reiki techniques to release your own trauma to be the best you possible.

Lean into your strengths and get creative. You can use your energy to make the world a better place.

Food for Thought - Stop Making Things Worse!

 I was told by a friend and colleague to watch a "reality" show. I was hesitant due to the title but I gave it a go. During the middle of the first episode of season 2, I was dumbstruck.  End of the Second episode I was really getting worked up. Half way through the Third Episode (Season 1 Episode 1), I turned it off because I was yelling at the TV.  

I thought about what to do.  Should I just let it slide? Should I reach out to the producers of the show to offer to help? Would it be wise to call the show out by name?  Could this cause drama in my professional life?  Might this turn away potential clients?

I meditated on the issue to reach a solution.

Bullshit is bullshit and I am tired of seeing idiots make money putting people in danger.

Time for my happy butt to step up on a Soap Box. Again.

The show is Murder House Flip.  The show changes the cosmetics of dwelling where homicide(s) occurred to help the current home owners make it their own.  That is good. Establishing ownership is very important when changing the energy of a place.  You need make it your own.

Given the amount the hosts and residents commented on the feel and energy of the place was negative, what did they do about it? Nothing was mentioned about clearings, cleansing by the staff of the show. Oh sure they took out the blood soaked floor and threw it away.  Did they get rid of all the trauma attached to the studs and joists?  Did they think to cleanse everything that was removed so it did not just spread its contained hate an madness at the dump or recycling center?  (I did see one couple say they burned sage and said some prayers when they first moved in.)  I saw no indication of energy clearing anywhere.

So, the show employees come in, knock out walls, rip up floors and replace fixtures. And removes all of the layers of energy and ownership the family has built up while living there, while stirring up all of the dormant energies and entities. And introduces the stress of the workers and production staff operating under a 5 day deadline. 

The family is grateful and happy at the change in the house but oblivious that the underlying problems may well have been exacerbated.

Yeah, I am sure nothing will go wrong.

Screw you @Murder House Flip producers, your ignorance and your arrogance.

Food for Thought - Evangelical Religious Right Spellcasters

Follow along for a minute.

A spell is a spoken or written pronouncement intended to bring about a specific effect.To cast is to cause to move by throwing. To intentionally put that energy out into the universe.  

Prayer is intentionally sending your energy and intention to create or influence a specific outcome. (Yes I know prayers for intecetion are in the grey area because they ask for a Higher Power, in It's Wisdom and Mercy, to help do a thing if it is in accordance with It's divine plan. We are talking about hate prayer here. Simple as that.)

Prayer = Spell-casting

Prayer with a malicious intent, to harm or to control the thoughts, actions, etc of another = Negative Spell-casting

Negative spell-casting is Black Magik and is very very frowned upon.

Please scan the recent headlines.  Protest Here.Violence there.  Backwards Laws showing Religious Idealogical Favoritism and exclusion and censorship of thought and ideas that do not toe the line. Praying for the down fall or harm of individuals or groups of people that do not agree or support their ideology.

Hate and intolerance spewed from the pulpit and the sheeple in the pews lap it up as if it mana delivered by angelic messenger from the lips of God.  The rise of the Right Wing Evangelical Christian movement has all the earmarks of a Destructive Cult.  It has wormed it's way into politics and then causes laws to be written in alignment with intolerance and hate.  Physical conflict instigated by professed members of this movement shuts down all discourse with a "Might makes Right" stance.

And then there is the "Prayer".  One person leads the congregation into an agitated emotional and mental state.  The leader focuses the thought and emotions of those people towards a specific person or group. The leader makes repetitive and escalating comments to insight more emotion from the group. Often saying statements such as, "It is God's will that these people must be cast out straight to Hell!" or "They are an ambomination to God's Law and must put to the Lord's judgement!" The response is cheers and shouts of "Amen" from the group. 

When the passions of the group are at the zenith, the leader calls for the group to "Bow your heads in prayer". Silence falls and the leader speaks, calling into focus the worst "Sinners" and expressing what should happen to these individuals or groups.

Summoning energy from a large group.  Focusing it.  Selecting a Target.  Intending harm to be the result. Then releasing all of that focused energy like a homing missile.

That sounds like some Straight up Black Magik bullshit to me.
