Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: "Holy Guano! It's the Bat Signal!"
Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: "Holy Guano! It's the Bat Signal!": "Karma's a bitch!" C'mon, be honest, you've said it at some point in your life and, if you haven't uttered those...
"Holy Guano! It's the Bat Signal!"
"Karma's a bitch!"
C'mon, be honest, you've said it at some point in your life and, if you haven't uttered those words, you've heard them. Usually, when you say or hear the words, there is a tone of condescension or judgemental righteousness attached to the tone of the voice, usually accompanied by a smirk and a shake of the head. Then, the person saying. "Karma's a bitch." feels a certain puffiness of pride in knowing that, "Hey, it's your ass, not mine... what comes around goes around."
There is a lot of truth in everything I just penned... or typed... and every single person on this planet is guilty of that puffiness. Those in humid climates are puffed up even more (it's a lame joke... just go with it).
Normally, I'd launch an unfounded argument based upon people's loss of self-awareness, pride, over-reliance upon religion or politics or a simple uncaring attitude towards life.
Instead, I'm directed to launch an argument regarding each of the above subjects that is completely founded upon my knowledge and understanding of Karma, the One who doles that 'bitch' out, and what one can expect from the 'bitch..' In addition, I'll put a few minds at ease since there are many who believe that certain thoughts or actions, even lack of actions, relegate them to a life of bad luck (no such thing), retribution or future payback.
I've not regaled anyone but my wife with the details of what I'm about to put forth. It gets quite deep. Not that you, the reader, is incapable of following... not at all. I do not mean to imply that that is the case. The details that I am putting forth to you were presented to me both as symbolism and word.
Let me explain.... As you may or may not know, I practice Shamanism. One of the aspects of Shamanism is the gift of journeying to realms that contain Divine Beings. Here's a side note... all of these realms exist in the same reality (realm) in which we all reside. Do a little quick study in Quantum Physics (hint).
In any case, during one of my Shamanic journeys, I encountered a Divine being. He was imposing and held in his hands a rather large clear, round crystal. I had no idea who this being was, so, duh, I asked. His name was Zadkiel. The crystal that he held in his hands was my 'Book of Life'... every thought, every action, every intention... in a crystal orb smaller than a basketball. Apparently, every soul, on this planet or otherwise (another journey) has an orb like this one.
Now, I'm no authority on angels. I had never heard of Zadkiel although having lived my entire life (until about seven years ago) in the grasp of the Methodist church. As it turns out, Zadkiel and his legions (multitude, homies), are the keepers of that Book (orb) of Life He assigns Karma, which is the end result of an intentional act or thought, good or bad, and in effect routes the soul towards reincarnation or ascension when the energy within us (the soul) leaves the shell of the body.
To get to the point of the blog post a little more quickly, I'll speed through my own journey. I was standing on railroad tracks. Behind me, at a distance, a light was slowly approaching. I was told to run... not towards the light, but away from the light. The light was a symbol of bad Karma that I'd already overcome in both this life and lives past. The message was to keep moving forward, living and acting by the light of the Divine. If I didn't move forward, I'd only be run down by that Karma once again.
It was a powerful message. It was a message to me to do what I know is right, right now, by looking within, listening and using intuition, which is nothing more than that voice of the Divine. Sometimes, it's a whisper, sometimes it's a steam whistle.
And then, today happened. I was told that my stepdaughter was very upset. My stepdaughter is an old soul, a junior in college. However, even as a young adult, she is very connected to this grand Universe. During an early Shamanic journey, at her request, I discovered that one of her spirit animals is a bat. Yeah, we thought it was funny...
Today, she sent a picture of a bat that had found it's way into her apartment and was hanging from the ceiling in true, bat-fashion. Odd, for a bat, to not place itself in a darkened place during broad daylight. Odder still, that the bat found her.
The bat, as a spirit guide, is a very powerful and inspiring creature. If one who is listening to inner self sees a bat, one of the messages is that it is a time of transition and that a spiritual awakening is underway. My stepdaughter knew this.
Yet, she didn't know what to do or how to take the bat away from her apartment. She did say it was cute and fuzzy... :-)
So, as can be expected, she called the building maintenance department.
Here it comes...
In walks maintenance. I picture the 'Booker' character from the TV show 'Good Times' with an apprentice. They have a cardboard box. I suppose the plan is to scrape the bat from its perch and quickly capture it in the cardboard box... imagine the gift-wrapped cat in National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation."
Kelsey, my stepkid, says, "Don't kill it, just let it free."
In response, Booker the janitor, says to his apprentice, "Hear that, Billy? She said, "Don't kill it."
In response, Booker and Billy laugh, carry the bat in the box out of the apartment and do whatever they think that they should do with a rogue bat.
Kelsey was upset, thinking that she would incur the wrath of the bat, or the Universe, or bad Karma, for having it taken away. Makes sense... she thought that she had condemned the bat to death.
Nay. She didn't condemn the bat to die, if indeed that is what Booker and his cohort had planned for the creature. She received the message that was sent to her in a way most would not notice. She became more connected to her inner self, the Divine within her, as a result of the presence of a creature that shares the energy that is part of everything that exists.
Booker and his apprentice, who had no compassion or insight, are the individuals who are the ones who should, and will, be upset.
The purposely intentioned killing or harming of another soul, human or otherwise, with malice, glee or human sense of authority is a Karmic no-no.
Zadkiel surely held two cloudy crystal orbs today and placed a train directly behind two maintenance dudes with no connection to who they are and what they are a part of.
He then held a nearly clear crystal belonging to a young woman who stepped further into the Light of Being by becoming aware that the creature she once feared sacrificed itself for her betterment and the better good of the world that awaits her arrival.
Life's a bitch, Booker.
Namaste,Kelsey.
Namaste and Peace.

Revelation
People are listening. Maybe all hope isn't lost. I seem to be finding my Soul Family in the most unlikely places.
It's not up to me... it's up to each of us to speak up without fear of ridicule. I can take ridicue. I don't care. Do you? Speak what you feel. Speak what you know. Be yourself whie exuding your inner light.
It can't be any more simple than that.

LED's Vs. Incandescent Bulbs - A Human Perspective
I don't consider myself the brightest bulb in the strand of Christmas Tree lights that comprise the intellect of humankind. I consider myself the Green Bulb on the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
So, as I write this blog entry I'm humbled by the responses I've received. Honestly, I was expecting and prepared for ridicule. Anyone who knows me and has known me in the past must be shaking his or her head in disbelief as they read my writings.
It was when I received an email from my brother-in-law, an attorney for a much-revered university known for a surprisingly good football team and a target of an idiotic racist comment by a radio commentator, that I realized that my words and sometimes inconceivable messages given to me from other realms sparked the light within those I's not have expected.
My brother-in-law.. let's just call him "Sparky the Wonder Dude," sent me the article here: http://mobile.nytimes.com/
This is quite a lengthy article which espouses the opinions of scientists, researchers and medical professionals on the fact that thoughts and the mind can affect the mindset, body and, in effect, time, of an individual as the body ages.
I'll shorten the article a bit, if I may. The article is ripe with suppositions, research, control groups, placebo effect references and psychological gibberish (at times) that can easily lead one astray.
However, it is great article in that it explores the very real connection between mind and body, aging and perceived conceptions of what a human is to expect as one ages.
I'm no sage. I'm not gifted with anything more than any of us can claim to hold within. What frustrates me about the study within the article is that the researchers are so damn close to understanding the connection between mind, body and spirit.
What we think, we manifest. Thoughts are energy. Intentions are energy. Everything is energy. What we choose for ourselves, be it health, sickness, sadness, joy... we create that reality. Here's the kicker... time is fluid energy. And, just because we decided five years ago to create a living hell for ourselves (an example), doesn't condemn us to that hell. Here's another mind-blower.. we are capable of returning to that very time and altering those thoughts that created that present hell so that we are no longer living in the world that we previously created for ourselves.
Sure, the consequences of choices made stay with us, but the ultimate joy or regret, whichever we choose, can be gained by pure intention. Thoughts, prayer, meditation... all energy. That ugly-ass trinket of a gift on your mantle, it is a static form of energy. Everything.... I repeat, everything... is a form of energy. And the most powerful form of energy is thought and intention.
Sadly, as the article point out, most of society is blinded by outside influences and either refuses to look within or is incapable of looking within themselves. All that we ever need to know is within each of us but most can't quiet the mind long enough to listen and trust what they know is right and true.
The doctor tells you that you need medication. You listen to the doctor and pop the pills.
The newscaster tells you that you're in danger. Danger is the word you hear so you panic.
A friend tells you that a certain investment is gonna tank or be a winner... you listen.
But, do you listen to yourself? Do you listen to your inner voice? Those inner voices aren't imaginary. If I've learned anything through my journeys through the other realms it is that it is only the inner voices that matter. The messages that you receive when you ask for guidance or answers from the ones who have your life and interests as their Divinely-Inspired mission. This is your intuition, your guiding voice.
So, the writers of the NY Times article are on target, but just short of the true answer. We are all capable of eluding the debilitating aspects of age. And we are all victims of a societal view of time.
Time is fluid. Time doesn't exist unless you live by a clock. Time is an anomaly that humanity has accepted as a way to calculate lifespan.
The article above reminded me immediately of the movie, 'Coccoon'. The body ages, but the body is only a a cocoon for the butterfly that ultimately emerges as a being of light and beauty. The soul is the butterfly. The soul is energy. Energy never dies. Nor does the light that inhabits the universe.
What we believe, we become. What we expect, we receive. Believe and trust. I'm constantly receiving this message because I sometime have a difficult time with understanding what I can't see standing before me.
Then again, I never had an understanding of the Quantum world... until the day that I knew the physics of time and fluidity of being... you are given the knowledge and tools that you need in order to educate.
I hesitate to use the word 'enlightenment.' It is far too overused and generic these days. I prefer 'open' and 'aware'... and to those who understand, I look forward to working with you to bringing light upon the darkness in this world, despite the consequences.
Namaste, my friends.
Oh, and because we are who we are and are accepted as we are because we can reach others through words and personality, I'll end this in true fashion.....
Amen and Holy Shit...
Peace.

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: I'm a Nobody with a Helluva Message.
Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: I'm a Nobody with a Helluva Message.: The time has arrived for me to just say, "Screw it." It doesn't matter what others think of me. It doesn't matter how many...
I'm a Nobody with a Helluva Message.
The time has arrived for me to just say, "Screw it." It doesn't matter what others think of me. It doesn't matter how many friends I lose or if I look fanatical or even psychotic as a result of my writings.
I've experienced both ends of the spectrum of reality and everything that lies in between. It's been a helluva ride and it doesn't seem to be slowing to a stop but speeding up. I can almost hear the ride operator yelling, "Do ya wanna go faster?"
Yes, yes I do.
it seems that every day brings new revelations. Be it the state of the world, myself, another close to me or those I pass as a chance encounter. I am able to become a channel, a conduit, between what I conceive as reality and that which is unseen. At times, it is awkward and sometimes frightening. Other times, it is gratifying and a relief.
When I am told things that I know are true despite them being what one would call/ supernatural', I have doubts. It's a human response. Yet, I'm becoming more convinced that I am needed here as a voice for the voiceless.
Don't misunderstand. I am very humble. There is nothing special about me. There is nothing that I'm able to do, either through Reiki or Shamanic work that any of us can do. I may have a slight advantage for some reason due to my past in being able to connect to the other realms more quickly, but, other than that, we are all capable of connecting with the Divine. The only thing that hinders that journey is our ego-driven selves.
Fear, worry, doubt, ... they are all forms of disbelief in the guidance and messages that we all hear yet disregard. When we let our human nature take control of our thinking, we slow the Divine process and we suffer. The ironic thing about this is that we cause our own suffering though we inwardly know what is needed to grow and overcome any issue.
Tonight, I performed a Reiki session. I used crystals, dowsing and Shamanic healing in addition to traditional Usui Reiki practice. It was an intense experience for me but it left an indelible impression upon the one that I helped.
Scoff, if you must. But know this... Jesus was a lightworker. He healed with his hands. As did Buddha. As did Mohammed. None of these ascended masters wanted to be worshipped and used as a means to a religion. They were healers who used the Divine light of the Source, or God, or Spirit to bring a message to mankind that within each of us lies the ability to heal any condition, be it mental, emotional, physical or psychological.
Now, I've been though much trauma in my life. I'm blessed to have survived in order to hep others. Yet, there are those who have been through much worse and endured more than I have endured. These are the people who are called upon to hep this world. I am called to help this world in any way possible. I do not yet know what my ultimate calling is to be. But, that's ok. I now know that patience is a virtue and that I can't rush into something without knowledge and guidance.
I'm prepared to lose friends as a result of what one might consider outlandish belief. I'm excited to meet others who are questioning, and searching and welcome them into my soul family. The friends that I lose will hopefully open their hearts and minds and allow the Divine to enter. Then again, that is part of my mission ....
Oddly enough, the younger generation is searching more earnestly that most. And, they also accept the Divine more readily than the supposedly 'Educated' or 'Religious'. I won't get started on religion right now.... that's another malignant cancerous subject.
In any case, I talk to angels. I talk to spirit animals. My deceased grandmother is my spirit teacher who has been with me in spirit even prior to my birth. (Quantum physics... it's a long story)... I realize now that I'm blessed, not nuts. I pay attention to what I'm told. I haven't yet been led astray.
I will give this message to those who wil listen.... This world is in disarray. The Universe is out of balance. Mankind has abused the gift of free will and has put the future of not only this universe, but the emerging univere that hasn't yet been born at risk. Energy has a black and white, The light will always pervade and enighten the darkness... but the darkness that inhabits this Universe is being abused and skewed by our human race. We are digging our own grave, so to speak.
Stop. Look. Listen. Open your heart. We are all connected. Put your ego aside and accept the greatness within yourself. Until we do that for ourselves, then help others to do the same, we will continue to implode as a race, rejecting the Divine and the beauty that we deserve,
Namaste.

I will give this message to those who wil listen.... This world is in disarray. The Universe is out of balance. Mankind has abused the gift of free will and has put the future of not only this universe, but the emerging univere that hasn't yet been born at risk. Energy has a black and white, The light will always pervade and enighten the darkness... but the darkness that inhabits this Universe is being abused and skewed by our human race. We are digging our own grave, so to speak.
Stop. Look. Listen. Open your heart. We are all connected. Put your ego aside and accept the greatness within yourself. Until we do that for ourselves, then help others to do the same, we will continue to implode as a race, rejecting the Divine and the beauty that we deserve,
Namaste.

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: You Ain't Shit, You're Shinola.
Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: You Ain't Shit, You're Shinola.: There comes a time in everyone's life that they either think or utter the words, 'Been there, done that, have the T-shirt.' Fa...
You Ain't Shit, You're Shinola.
There comes a time in everyone's life that they either think or utter the words, 'Been there, done that, have the T-shirt.'
Face it, almost everything that you can imagine has either been thought of, invented or discussed before your brilliant revelation. Have a great idea? It's been tried and/or done. Have an insight that seems unique? Pfft... not unique at all... many others have also had that insight.
The difference between your insights and another's insight is that one of those with insight acts upon that idea or inspiration completely out of blind faith and trust that what he or she knows is right. And, to know that something is right requires an understanding of the unseen and unknown, Why does one know that something is right?
That's a deep-ass question. Yet, the person who has been in that position has no doubts. And, if there are doubts and the person acts in a way contrary to what they know to be true, chaos ensues.
A universal law is that we are all intertwined and connected by the very same molecules that created the universe, planets, trees, animals, your obnoxious neighbor and the chair you're sitting in while reading this blog. Energy. Even static items such as furniture and your underwear are composed of energy. Granted, some of us could use underwear with higher energy levels.
But at the core, all matter and even non-matter is composed of energy. Yeah, I know it's a deep concept. Yet, physics is a gift that we can all benefit from receiving if we just stop to think.
What I'm about to say mixes the Divine with science. Actually, the two intermingle for our benefit.
Religion has no place within the mix. Religion is an abomination, a by-product of spirituality. Religion is a form of government, so to speak. It controls, it dictates, it demands obedience to man-inspired rules.
Religion is the anithesis of spirituality, Spirituality is within every living being on this planet and always has been within every living being. Even the most vile humans in our known history have been gifted with the Divine Light of spirituality. Unfortunately, people have the gift of free will.
As Raphael, my friend and guiding light told me, "Free will... that was maybe not the best idea ..."
By the way, Raphael is an Archangel. He's a funny dude. He is also a healer I know this as a fact.
Oh, if you weren't aware, I have regularly met spirits, archangels, and yes, even Jesus, during my Shamanic journeys. Those journeys have changed my thinking, my direction and my actions. For instance, when not too long ago I chided anyone claiming Jesus as the Son of God, I have been made aware that we are all children of God and have within us the same light that Jesus had within him. He was a healer who used the light, the foundation of existence. He had trust and belief that his time on earth was special. He didn't want a religion crafted by his life here. As a matter of fact, he abhors religion.
Ask me how I know this... quick answer, I've spoken to him,
It doesn't matter whether you believe me, call me a heretic or any other derogatory term.
What matters is that we are all interconnected not only to this planet, but also to this universe, dimensions unseen and each other. Infighting for political reasons, familial reasons, racial reason, sexuality-based reasons or any other excuse is baseless and, well, stupid.
Embrace who you are. Look within before you judge. What you hod inside yourself is what others also hold inside. Free will is a bitch. Mistakes are made as a result of free will. Yet, at the heart of every soul lies a light that touches another in some way, no matter how miniscule it may seem.
Live. Love. Learn.
And, beyond everything else, Listen.
Namaste.

Homosexuality and the Big Bang
We are being bombarded today with arguments about homosexuality. It's comical, really. Sexuality resides inside every human being, yet, politicians, religious leaders and their sheep and the ones who see only black and white cannot come to grips with a simple fact. Despite one's actions, leanings and actions, everyone is human. And as such, everyone carries the same particles and energies of this grand universe despite the attraction or love they feel for another.
I recently took a Shamanic journey to hopefully get answers about a couple of major questions that have begged for an answer.
Now, I'm certain that there will be those reading this who will disagree with me. That's ok. I now believe what I'm told. I can't be swayed by human dissension unless it comes from another who has experienced what I have experienced in the realms of consciousness beyond the perceived realities of what is seen.
I won't go far into details... yet, here is what I'm being told.
The human body is nothing more than a shell, that houses a soul. A sou is pure energy. Energy has no sexual orientation, Energy is constantly in motion and works ultimately for the greater good of the Universe. Those who harbor this energy, each of us, embrace goodness, love and a compassion for all living beings.
That being said, when a person dies, the energy of the soul exits the shell and returns to the universe. In time, that energy, that love and compassion that the Universe holds within that soul, enters another body. It makes no difference if that body is male or female. Souls unite, not bodies. Bodies are temporal. The divine light that resides within those bodies doesn't deliniate between genders.
Gender preferences have been established by society without regard to inner knowing of the soul. Man is with woman, and vice versa.
Nay.
The soul isn't about sexuality. The soul seeks a soulmate, or even soulmates. And, it isn't sexual. Our society perceives it to be a sexual choice. It isn't that way at all. The universe is all-inclusive. If anything, we are all bi-sexual. Yeah, I said it... we are all bi-sexual. Not because we seek sexual pleasure from one or both genders, but because we all share the same makeup as humans and connection to all that 'Is.'
Deep. Think about it.
My next question on my journey was inspired by the unanswered questions I have about the creation of our universe. Supposedly, a microscopic particle containing extreme energy exploded billions of years ago and eventually led to the creation of gases, stars, planets, solar systems, life and our universe.
Yet, no one had said where that microscopic egg of energy originated. I was curious. So, I journeyed... and while I'm not ready to understand the many mysteries that lie before me, I was shown that our universe was created from that speck of energy. And, that egg of energy that held the future of life and the universe as we know it, was nothing more than a star from another dimension that had collapsed and exploded to create another universe and dimension. It's a bit mind-blowing, but this is an ongoing thing. There are dimensions and universes containing life and experiences that we cannot fathom. It isn't an alternate universe thing in which a duplicate you exists... we are an improvement.
The discomforting aspect of what I was shown is that, although the universe as we know it is comprised of pure energy, humans have the gift of free will in thinking and actions. Free will is a great thing, but society has skewed free will towards the dark, ego-driven life. As a result, the universe has become off-balance and vulnerable.
I know, it sounds far-fetched and a bit like science fiction. The divine light will always prevail, but our civilization is at risk. Look at the signs.
I'm not a prophesier, I'm not a doomsayer. I relate what I'm told and what I see. I'm not afraid of what is coming and what is already here. Hell, I get angry when I read about the stupid politicians and their drivel spouted to ensure re-election despite what the facts espouse.
I just reiterate what I am told. Despite the ridicule and jokes that are made at my expense, I want to relay what happens during my Shamanic journeys.
Namaste, folks. Get ready, a storm's a-brewin'....

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: A Huge Message From Farmville

A Huge Message From Farmville
Inspiration can sometimes smack you across the face with a heavy 'thud' and come from the most unexpected places.
One might think that journeying to the other realms and being given messages, imagery and symbolism that not only answers simple questions but goes beyond what is sought would be inspiration enough to follow the Divine voice and act upon those Divine inspirations.
No. Not really. Sometimes, it takes inspiration from a more unlikely source to confirm those messages and directions from the Divine, even though they come from those that we should place all trust and guidance (Yo, Raphael!).
Shamanic practice is still rather new to me, Energy work is not as new to me, but the connections within Nature, ourselves, the Divine and energy to everything in the Universe is being confirmed and strengthened within me every day. Yet, I can encounter a divinity such as Raphael, or Zadkiel, or any number of guides, teacher and angels during a journey and either question myself or my ability to carry out the path that I'm looked upon to carry out.
And then, this happens ...
I get called out on my writing this blog. I'm told to not repeat to you, the reader, to 'stop doubting me' and repeating that, 'I'm not crazy.' The thing that is amazing to me is that I wasn't called out over my human faults and doubts by those who I would expect such as the Archangels, snake, Siberian Tiger or even the frog. Sure, they have all reiterated, sometimes vigorously, that I follow my path and not doubt, fear or concern myself with the dark energy.
I was called out by the most unlikely source I could imagine... my stepdaughter, Kelsey.
Kelsey Daniel is an old soul. She is in her junior year at Longwood University in a little town named, believe it or not, Farmville, Virginia, where she is studying graphic art. She is an amazing artist. Personally, having a commercial art degree myself and having lived and worked in that industry as an art director, I think she's aiming low. Her natural talent is beyond graphic arts... but, that neither here nor there and the Universe will place her where she belongs and will gather and provide the most light for others and herself.
Since I'm human and think like a human, I now understand that there are some messages that the Divine can convey only by using another divinely-inspired human. I have my own answers as to why Kelsey is now in my life. Her mother, also an old soul that is becoming more enlightened and accepting of the Divine each day, inspired me to journal my Shamanic journeys and has the gift of clairaudience. She also received a clear message that I need to write a children's book, based upon those journeys. I'm still trying to figure out how to write for children. If you've read my other 'Yelps' blog (15k reads, woohoo!) you'll understand why this is.
The cool thing is that Kelsey, as an artist and as one who also has a connection to the Divine, can easily illustrate the book which would be quite an undertaking since many of my journeys are very visual and often contain symbolism.
My point is this ... we can often discount signs and messages from the Divine that seem unreasonable to us. But, as human beings, seeing is believing. To put the two together, human messages that are undoubtedly divinely inspired and Divine messages, is a confirmation that my eyes, ears, heart and soul are open to accepting this shift in consciousness and purpose that is laid out, despite my reservations.
Who would have ever thought that someone who isn't yet twenty-one years old could catch my attention in such a profound manner? Not me, that's for damn sure.
I'm extremely humbled by, and proud of Kelsey. I'm also thankful that she is aware. Whether she realizes it or not, she is also undergoing a transformation and enlightenment. This world needs her and the younger generations to stop, look, listen and appreciate that they are part of everything and everything is a part of them as well.
That said, I didn't call myself, 'crazy' or tell you to, 'stop reading now, you won't believe me' once during this post. I now know that I'm not crazy and that what I'm writing is being taken seriously.
And that information didn't come from an Archangel. It came from a twenty-year-old college junior in Farmville. Virginia.
Who'd 'a thunk it?
Namaste.

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: Hi There. Wanna Hear Something You Already Know?

Hi There. Wanna Hear Something You Already Know?
Every day brings something new.
I'm not a survivalist, a doomsayer or negative person. Quite the opposite, in fact. I've lived my entire life as if I didn't care if I lived or died.
As a younger man, I didn't think about it. My mantra was "Live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse".... I know, I used James Dean's mantra... but I felt the same way.
As I grew older, one, then two of the parts of my mantra didn't apply to me. I was no longer young and I wasn't going to be a good looking corpse. But, damn, did I live hard. No, that's not an advertisement for Viagra.
My life has taken many, many turns. I've faced death on several occasions both as a child an as an adult. I've endured loss, as we all do, by death of a loved one and parent. I've lost the admiration and respect of my children. I've seen love in it's purest form, unconditional love, which I had never considered possible. I've also been gifted with abilities ... I'm artistic, articulate and witty (some say smartass). I love using my snarkiness to make others think, since it seems most people can't think for themselves any longer.
Yet, this isn't about me. You wanna know more about me, message me. This is really about you. You are what is happening right now.
Yeah, that was an improperly worded sentence. But, it spoke to you in some way. For you, read on. For you that do not quite understand what I mean, read on... please.
Do you get anxious when you read the news? Now, I'm not talking about the silly shit like stories about Sarah Palin or the lack of fashion in the workplace. Do you get anxious when you read about Ebola, Russia, ISIS, lack of privacy, yada, yada, yada?
If you say yes then turn off the TV and do something totally unconventional according to society standards. Do this... be quiet and listen. Yeah, listen... and look. Look for the small things that matter. Sounds elementary, eh? It isn't.
Life isn't quiet. We, as humans, have distractions bombarding us from every direction. It's a loud freakin' world we inhabit. Well, our bodies inhabit this place... this tiny little place in a grand universe. There is, however, a tiny voice within us that is screaming and as we quiet our minds, eliminating bit by bit the outside noises that chatter without true meaning, we can hear a message.
Too busy to quiet your mind? I'm sorry. You have your priorities misplaced.
Not heeding that small voice that screams at times? Shut up and listen.
I do not want to sound harsh or condescending. Not in the least. Those who know me will surely dis-own me if they aren't listening. Those who know me know that I'm a free-wheeling adventurous person who has always been searching for more of one thing or another.
But there is no one, no one at all, who would ever believe my words if I had told them of my Shamanic journeys and my meeting Archangels and others. I wouldn't believe it myself. Hell, I had never even believed in or studied angels. However, when I tapped into the energy of the Divine as I became a Reiki Master, strange things began to happen.
Again, ask me questions, that's okay. Bottom line is this... there are those who know that the light within comes from the divine above and that the divine above isn't associated with a religion. Those that know this are searching for their place in today's world. To those, I say, you know your place... and if you question your answer, let go of your ego.
This world is about to undergo a tremendous variety of change that includes fear, turmoil, death, mistrust, and renewal. That is okay, though. If you know your pace within that renewal there is nothing to fear. Better yet, if you heed that call, that tiny screaming voice, you will aid in avoiding the misery and pain of the eventual renewal.
We are all one. I've received that message from an Archangel named Jophiel. Scoff if you will.. that's ok. But, even modern physics, quantum style, proves that we are all connected by energy. My being and thoughts are yours. The body is immaterial.
I know, that's deep shit. Dig it.
When you become agitated and annoyed, look at yourself. How do you feel? That is how the person you focus those feelings upon feels. When you change your mood from upbeat to angry or otherwise, listen to your inner self and realize that someone or something outside of yourself put you there.
These are trying times. It's gonna get worse. Much worse. Trust lies within.
No, I'm not evangelizing or preaching. I'm not saying anything that you don't already know.
Listen. Learn. Love.
Peace and a big, fat Namaste.

If you know your pace within that renewal there is nothing to fear. Better yet, if you heed that call, that tiny screaming voice, you will aid in avoiding the misery and pain of the eventual renewal.
We are all one. I've received that message from an Archangel named Jophiel. Scoff if you will.. that's ok. But, even modern physics, quantum style, proves that we are all connected by energy. My being and thoughts are yours. The body is immaterial.
I know, that's deep shit. Dig it.
When you become agitated and annoyed, look at yourself. How do you feel? That is how the person you focus those feelings upon feels. When you change your mood from upbeat to angry or otherwise, listen to your inner self and realize that someone or something outside of yourself put you there.
These are trying times. It's gonna get worse. Much worse. Trust lies within.
No, I'm not evangelizing or preaching. I'm not saying anything that you don't already know.
Listen. Learn. Love.
Peace and a big, fat Namaste.

Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divi...
Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divi...: Frogs, Snakes, Lizards and Ethereal Beings of Divine Light: One of These Things Is Not Like The Other : I 'm anti-religion. More precise...
Hello, Goodbye, Hello.
Writing has always been my outlet. It has been my way to express myself when my mind is working overtime but my lips refuse to move.
I've used my written words to make other angry, to make others laugh, to help others relate to another imperfect soul. I've also used writing to ease personal pain while at the same time bringing hurt and pain to others, though unintentionally. I'll go further to say that I distanced myself from my children during a traumatic time in not only my life, but theirs, through my writings.
There is no taking back what has been written. I can't really apologize for what I'd written because it was what I was feeling at the time. I can, though, apologize for not thinking about the ramifications of my writings, ramblings and otherwise bewildering moments of clarity that flowed from my fingertips in the wee hours of the morning.
I'm a simple man. Don't misunderstand, I'm intelligent, almost to a fault. I rarely speak about the things that I understand and know, having not ever studied the subjects. I do not even understand myself when I know things without reason. I've always counted those occasions as 'luck' or guesses.
This is where I begin to say goodbye. It is with mixed emotions that I use the word 'goodbye.' I'm not saying that I'm leaving anyone, or this earth. No, I'm saying 'goodbye' to what are sure to be a number of people who know me and will not understand what I have recently been through, encountered and thus, altered my thinking.
I'm still the smartass, snarky person that I was when I was writing yelpsfromthecloset.blogspot.com. but I'm a bit, no, a great deal different as a creation.
I know, that makes no sense. Let me begin this explanation of discovery by reiterating that by no means whatsoever am I a religious person. I traveled that road for many, many years. I am completely against organized religion. I believe that religion is simply a way to a means. It's a way for men to exploit beliefs postulated by other men (men being a general term), to obtain power, wealth and control of the masses.
That sounds harsh. But, I'll now say that I have a very concrete belief that Jesus walked among men.
Think a minute. I'll wait. After all, if you've read any of my yelps blogs you're thinking, "What the Hell?"
I'm sure to lose friends because of this post. But, at the same time, I'm excited at the enlightened ones that will become my friends.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, my awakening began with less-than-biblical standards. I've been awakening for quite awhile and have been aware of other realms and, yes, past lives, since I was a child. It wasn't until I started Usui Reiki (Energy Therapy) classes that I began to understand what was happening to me. That was more than three years ago.
Fast forward to the last three to four months. I became a certified Reiki Master Practitioner. I have an understanding of Quantum Mechanics that has been becoming clearer since I first saw trees made up as a series of numbers a few years earlier. I'm able to walk past people and sense their problems, moods and general state of mind. I'm am empath. That trait is brutal at times.
While I've actively implemented Reiki in my life on a daily basis, both for myself and for others, I've also been drawn into Shamanic practices.Thank you, Pam. You're my greatest blessing and my best half.
The two modalities, Reiki and Shamanism, interlap. They also both interlap with Meditation. Consciousness is energy. Thoughts are energy. Your reclining chair is energy. Think about it. If you understand that correlation, you'll remain a friend. If not, well, one day you hopefully will understand.
Again, I'm not a religious person. Not in the least. That said, I've had two powerful encounters with the person we know as Jesus. I'll say this, I've downplayed Jesus for quite some time. Son of God? Pffft. I've also made jokes about Jesus as he relates to religion and the 'only' way to God and what we consider to be Heaven.
Turns out, it's okay that I made those jokes. Jesus was, and is, a form of pure energy, able to heal and do things that people living in the everyday world couldn't conceive. In other words, he was no different that me, or you. And, as he relayed to me, he wasn't trying to create a way of thinking, but of a way of being.. a way that we are all capable of achieving through enlightenment and knowing that we are are interconnected by energy. It is how we use that energy that defines us.
If you're still with me, congratulations. You've stepped on the path. Watch out for the roots and potholes. This path is treacherous and will cost you parts of yourself. But those parts aren't needed.
I'd rather stand in awe of the messages and experiences that I receive through my energy work, Shamanic journeys and daily syncronicities while others mock me and label me than miss a second standing in the presence of Divinity, whatever you consider Divinity to be. I spend each day knowing that my being on this earth has a Divine purpose. It's like a metamorphosis. I see the results of this ongoing metamorphosis each and every day.
As I say, 'Hello', to those who seek what I have found and nurture, I sadly say 'Goodbye' to those who close their eyes and soul to the divine. If I do what I'm tasked with doing, I'll be saying, 'Hello' again soon.
Namaste.
