  1. Are you a Shaman

    This is excellent IMO. And that's exactly what tweaking the dynamic does - the invisible line from the original cause of the manifestation (something that most likely happened in childhood), which picks up and goes through the current malady, and then on to the perfection of health. That's why I call it a triangulation. This I've never done. But I think I will use my recently departed Joe as a third person - and he was a shaman as well. If I go ahead with this healing of the lady with cancer (possibly too far gone) I will use him. It sounds like a good way of revving up the amperage. My "gift" is to see things in a triangulated pattern. I physically "see" triangles in my mind's eye and the pointed angles of the triangle sit in the cause, the effect, and the destination. Thank you for your knowledge, Mr, P!
  2. Are you a Shaman

    I love the image of smashing the weeds with a club. So much easier... And yes. I do need to buy a weed whacker. Or possibly a whipper snipper, whatever.
  3. The Doomsday Scenario

    I think that's pretty incredible.
  4. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    LOL. I can't get enough of him. And every time I re-read one of his books, I see totally new stuff. that's probably because I had forgotten it - but either way, he fits me like a glove.
  5. Are you a Shaman

    Shirley you know I was talking about a TV remote. (I know, don't call you Shirley). And I was actually wondering who would do what you just did. You did not disappoint
  6. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    This is it exactly. Things that are stored can't be accessed now. Or if I do access it, it slips away almost immediately. I'm so stuck by your childhood awareness to 'get into the now', just to be with yourself, playing quietly with your own toys, and disregard the chaos going on around you. You're right. 'Now' nothing is happening. Thanks, my adorable friend.
  7. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    Some really great information in both of your posts. And yes, I do read constantly - but it's either non-fiction or metaphysics because I can no longer remember a plot unless I take copious notes.
  8. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    That sounds familiar. It's like all the knowledge is held in a water balloon that gets thrown at graduation - and it's gotten so I have to form real intent to remember where I parked my car at the market.
  9. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    Everything - your words were like they were inside my soul. My soul was in complete agreement with yours, about everything. That is exactly how I am looking at it - losing memories as a necessary function of more enlightened thought Thank you so much for taking the time to express all that. I really appreciate it. In fact, I'm going to print it out and keep it on my desk. Love to you, friend. Barb
  10. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    This actually makes me laugh. That's probably it exactly. I listen to too much Eckart Tolle. I have 3 of his CD sets. One of them is playing at all times in my car, lol. This is all his fault
  11. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    Yes. You've put it into words. The awareness remains unchanged. And I love 'forgetting is a side-effect of letting go'. Funny thing is, I've always been a real left brainer when it came to work related things, etc. Overly responsible to the point of enabling, all in the name of being helpful. So this is quite a change to me. Doesn't mean I can't have some fun with it. And now I've got an excuse not to drive those long distances to people's houses on holidays. As to your last paragraph, I just have no words. Thank you.
  12. Are you a Shaman

    I just got a lot out of this post. I like the idea of transferring a tumor to a volunteer, although hopefully you're not talking about a Candy-striper walking through the hallway. The transference concept is wonderful - I've never tried that. Same with the fellow student telling you he had the faith to heal you. And something just occurred to me. This also goes to what we were just talking about. Your fellow student said 'I have the faith to heal you..." In this case, the power was in his court and he knew it. I was just asked by a neighbor to perform a ceremony for her. She has been undergoing therapy for cancer for a couple years, and now she is defying the odds by being alive far longer than they thought she would. Her attitude is one of the most upbeat I've ever seen. She is physically active, and you'd never guess she had cancer. But, to her knowledge, her body is riddled with it. She has been with her husband for 45 years. He is a practicing alcoholic and becomes mean when he drinks. This no doubt is how she developed her upbeat attitude, as a self defense tool. It's also why her body started eating itself from the inside. If we go ahead with this, I'll be asking for input on this thread. I need to sit down with her first - I don't know her very well - and find out a little about any childhood traumas. I need to find out how her husband was acting, in his drinking, around the time she developed the cancer. No doubt she is repeating an emotional trauma dynamic in "needing" to live with someone who treats her badly. That's her comfort zone. I need to re-create that same dynamic, but have her handle it differently If I can "see" the true dynamic from childhood to her need to be abused, and to the origin of the cancer - then I'll have to come up with the best things I can think of to symbolize different parts of those dynamics. And I'll have to put her through some sort of scenario where the dynamics either reverse themselves or bend just enough to no longer need to manifest cancer. At the end of the ceremony, I will probably put something like coffee beans or peppercorns in a glass of water, symbolizing the cancer cells in her body. She will have a kitchen strainer and another empty glass held under the strainer. She will pour the water through the strainer into the other glass, catching all the cancer cells. I may have her bury the peppercorns. They she will say "perfect health" to the glass of water and drink it. (as per Dr. Emoto's work with ice crystals that have been spoken to prior to freezing). That's the "bringing it into the physical" part. Sometimes you have to show the body exactly what to do. "Filter out" the cancer cells. But normally the cancer I have dealt with in the past is earlier onset.
  13. Omniscience. Game of Thrones.

    I haven't read this whole thread. SJ, can you please tell me what all the volunteers are volunteering for? My mind is running rampant with possibility.
  14. Omniscience. Game of Thrones.

    She kind of ripped them off, IMO. Yes, she retained her identity but got all the goodies. That's why I think an Arya spinoff would be terrific. So many different possibilities with the faces. Maybe I just want to see a little female empowerment. And the male actor that played Drogo (I think that was his name - Khaleesi's husband) I saw pictures of him and Amelia Clark together, in their real human state. He is surprisingly hot, if you ask me....
  15. Are you a Shaman

    That's curious, as there are so many variables here, if one depends on the personal development or power of the person being healed. I find just the opposite, and the healing modes I use (the foundation is Science of Mind (Ernest Holmes stuff) and Christian Science methods (Mary Baker Eddy). In both traditions, it is of utmost importance for the healer to be within the I Am consciousness; the more certain that you are functioning as 'god', not in an egoic sense, but in the realization of the oneness. Every bit of doubt within the healer renders the healing less effective. In a healing where I had a paraplegic boy's aunt turn on a lamp (to symbolize the electricity going to his limbs), she physically turned on the light, I didn't. But I still had to be the one in the I Am consciousness. And it worked, incredibly enough. But what may have been at work here was that she was staring at a picture of her nephew during the ceremony. When she felt tremendous love for her nephew, that's when I had her turn on the lamp.
  16. Are you a Shaman

    Yes. I did. Before I realized that she's a trickster And no, I've never really put in the time trying to kick up my visualization. If I ever find that it's sorely needed, I'll go to work on that. In the meantime......where's my flipper?
  17. Citta

    I can't quite focus on what you are speaking of. It sounds very profound. Could you give a before and after example? Like...why you are so taken with this information on citta, and how it changed your inner landscape? Was there an awareness, an aha! that you experienced? Does this connect with his studies on light and magnetism?
  18. Are you a Shaman

    I'm assuming you're not Geordie? Being caged on the grass wasn't quite what you described....
  19. Are you a Shaman

    LOL. I should probably apologize. Once a detective, always a detective. I can get a bit intense.....I'll turn the interrogation light off now.
  20. Are you a Shaman

    Why do you say it's a good practice technique for working with spirits also? Are you speaking of spirits in a dual sense? Or do you use spirits in a lineage sort of way?
  21. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    That's it exactly, silent thunder. Life is getting simpler, but mostly because I tend to avoid driving any more than I have to. Seems like that cycle is sort of self propagating. Actually, what interests me is whether a diminishing memory will have any affect on metaphysical understanding. Of course, how would I know because at any given point I would always THINK I was seeing at full capacity even if I wasn't. I'll have to rely on you folks.
  22. Are you a Shaman

    That's just incredible. Was this a shamanic rite from somewhere in particular? What is the symbolism of getting a snake to exhale onto an Egyptian type object until it vibrates a sound.....or is it a proof of lack of fear of death, or tuning in to the animal's frequency?
  23. Are you a Shaman

    LMAO. You are obviously the real effing thing.
  24. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    Thanks, bums. I think the biggest challenge I have in my day to day life, is to stay on task. That's the easiest way to say it.
  25. Are you a Shaman

    I'm so glad you found your way here. What a wonderful addition you are to the forum.
