    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    Ha Ha, we bought the Fennel and I was never so glad for it to run out! I will try not to make that mistake again! In that case it is not all good!

    Ok, 1, lets talk shop for a minute.  There isn't any what not to do manual, ha.  Only two things are seriously discouraged in our brand of energy work, and one of those I just picked up from one of my new students in Hattiesburg.  That being, one should not ever use one's own body as a surrogate for doing distance work.  Use a doll, a statue, a photo, a drawing, or use the persons energy in a chair, which I prefer, but don't use your own body or you will find yourself taking on the other's condition and clearing it in a direct, and uncomfortable, fashion.  

    The other thing is in the handout I sent (must remember to send those to JB), don't "booger bust" and channel at the same time.  That's common sense, but a lot of people out there learning energy work aren't exactly full of that, haha.  One holds themselves centered and shielded when dealing with offending thoughtforms.  .

    Use HS and call in "any negative entities or thoughtforms associated with so and so"  just like you would doing any other distance.  When the funk appears, draw CKR on it a few times until it settles down, if it's squirmy.  Say, I am sending this energy back to the light for further re-education, then start swirling energy around your hand, wrapping it in a white cloth of energy and binding it tightly, careful you make it so it passes through your hand- not sticking to it, then draw STC and seal it, then hold out your hands and blow, like you scooped up a handful of sawdust and are blowing it into a cloud.   

    If one suspects funky juju, it's never bad to do this before sending reiki to someone, and you will find removing the offending thoughtforms will free up your flow of compassion when dealing with things of a personal nature.  People create thought forms constantly, and some do so very efficiently albeit unconsciously.  Like Cayce said, Thoughts are things. So, we treat them as such.   We don't ever converse with them, it's not wise to do so, for thought forms are ever eager to attach to someone, so few people understand this so the issue is epidemic.  Many disciplines treat this in various ways, but the technique we use is especially efficient, and lends no power to the offending energies, at all.  The mindset of thoughts and thoughtforms as objects is very helpful in this regard. 

    ttyl  
    But then we get into the whole thing of both God and lucifer each announcing at some point..that they each need our belief and support, via our thoughts and actions....in order to exist. The difference between thought and thought form becomes blurred just a tad, no? Thus this need to be careful.

    Windmills built out of wimdmill food/juice.

    Now, does god say, "you too can be a windmill, iffin' youse tries enough."?

    And does lucifer say, "don't think, as a matter of fact I'll get (or make/help become) me some buddy wimdmills and we'll collectively make sure you remain windmill juice." ?
    To me it is pretty clear that God has no needs.
    With infinite abundance at their disposal who even needs creatures?
    It is the creatures and the creation that need God,
    whether they want to admit it or not. And that goes for Lucifer as much as for everyone else.
    God only allows Lucifer a free reign so people can pick and choose their direction.

    Hey Eaglespirit! Happy Midweek to you too! I have actually been to this website and resourced it. Very informative and helpful, although I am looking for a text to procure to carry with me, especially when internet is not available. Also, I would like the text to have to teach my kids when the time comes and to pass on when the time comes. The I Ching is one of the exceptional texts that does not, to my knowledge, contain negative distortion as compared to, lets say, the Bible. Therein lies my purpose to find a really good translation, because I sure don't read or speak Chinese.

    Thanks Ulli, I'll look it up.

    So, keeping myself busy tonight, I found while walking through the neighborhood three large rosemary trees/bushes that someone uprooted as a weed and threw out onto the street with a bunch of chinese privet for the garbage truck to pick up. It never surprises what treasures people throw away. "One man gathers what another man spills."

    Anyway, the picture attached shows the processed and unprocessed rosemary that I am working on currently. That is one fifth of what I gathered out of the trash. I gave the over four fifths of it to the chef of a local restaurant. I'll dehydrate, freeze, and chop up what I have for our own culinary and medicinal purposes!!!! Goldmine find!

    The other picture is an early fall harvest of Cayenne that I am dehydrating for spicy consumption. In total, that is the fifth large harvest of cayenne so far this season!

    Consider that God and Lucifer are not enemies. Everyone needs to get rid of that - that is a human construct. My 2 cents. Just because they are opposing forces does not mean they are enemies, although within the construct of language it is easy to see how that idea has become prevalent.

    Without the force of separation, Source could not create Creation - do these forces sound like enemies? 2 cents
    Perhaps..that was my entire point, insofar as even having a direction to walk in or think in, as ultimately all that is just as suspect as it is true. As in valid for the point it needs to be valid for, and not when it is not.

    The point was to bring the moment of cascade of thought to the place you have gone. or something like that. Or not!

    A man dances happily in the street. Another beside him slumps and cries. Is there a difference?

    That'll be the foreword in which Jung gives a wonderful demonstration of how wisely the I Ching comments on its own publication, which i think was the first edition in the west.

    My version is in French, Yi King by Daniel Giraud. Checking out #11, Ulli are you sure this says hold back? I see it as a (peaceful) thumbs up:

    Quote c'est une harmonie suprême où tout peut fleurir favorablement dans ce qui est paisible.

    In regards to the God vs. Lucifer...
    My impression of the concept, and I think I am pretty much echoing the same idea as other posters..is that it is a construct created to demonstrate the duality of dark and light for the purpose to eventually lead the consciousness back to integrating into Oneness.

    My own experiences, and observations of history and literature reveal that light and dark are dependent on each other to validate their own existence. In the presence of extreme darkness do we then have the ability to see the brightness a a single light...if that light was never exposed to the dark conditions, that light may never demonstrated its own brilliant illumination. Yes there is evil, yes there is good...and we have all have seen times when Good intentions led to bad circumstances and tragedy is responded to with great acts of compassion.

    Living in this construct of duality with the awareness of their intertwined coexistence and having the free will to choose how you react when exposed to varying intensities of light and darkness/ good and evil, that makes the human condition so unique . And the journey into applying that knowledge to everyday life becomes our work in progress a we ascend/ evolve/ transcend into our spiritual potential ...

    Now I really am off to bed....apologize if that was not too coherent...but I could not resist the urge to comment as this has been the perspective I have held onto and give credit to saving my sanity and illuminating the way through the darker tunnels of my life....

    Blessings,
    Amanda

    The basis of this reality never was that dirty word "duality", ever and always, from the very start the basis has been confusion. Figure it out!

    PL, while I agree with this statement I find it's truth so obvious that it makes me wonder about you making such a statement in the first place. Then I remembered what you had for breakfast yesterday. Poor PL. Confusion sucks, that's for sure.
    Anyway, if one wants to avoid confusion one only has to make the right choices.
    Like, avoid shops that offer 20 different types of mustard. Equally, avoid substances that allow too many impressions coming into one's mind, making it hard to decide what comes first, sh!t, shower, or shave.

    This is somewhat the opposite of what I was trying to convey. It happens.

    It's in thinking that one is not confused that one becomes the most confused of all. as I stated elsewhere, confusion is just the flip side of mystery.

    Well, what I meant is that confusion as a state can bring such discomfort that it triggers a search for clarity,
    and clarity as a state is never permanent as one's desire for novelty manifests fresh mystery which will then appear in a blink of an eye.

    The speed with which these two states follow one another depends on the strength of a person's spirit, but also their discomfort with confusion, as well as stagnation.
    Those who cling to either state are just too comfortable where they are, or they are scared of change.

    P.S. your avatar's body language fits this discussion. I must admit, so does mine.
