know thyself…

Finally arrived!

I had great expectations for this book and those who like me
 pre ordered Brain Magick , can definitely say  this is 
a Book about knowing ourselves.

Philip H Farber wrote an easy manual of awareness, self programing
 and transformation. Excellent for my discipline(last reading showed
 I need to do a profound reflection) 

I guess in order to be totally efficient we must do all the exercises... 
cover to cover.
and there's an exercise almost in every page.
but from what I experimented so far they are all pratical and fun.
I was surprised with the little details on how my mind was programmed
 to react.

Philip presents us the concept of Woohoo and let me tell you that
the sparkle of woohoo is alive in every one of us, 

just awaiting the next synapse !

So,  inflame yourself and sing like Aretha  " You better think , think 
about what you're trying to do to me Yeah, think , let your mind go, 
let yourself be free "

Maybe i'll post some results in the future just for fun !

See You in Aether

Saturday Occultus Gym !

Free day, decided to do some exercises...

In the morning i did a tarot reading, dealing with a toxic 
situation - My JOB !
I was inspired by The tarot Lady ( you can read more here :
http://blog.thetarotlady.com/2011/09/09/tarot-to-the-rescue-leaving-a-toxic-situation/ )
when i had to think about the spread design, i thought about the logo.

first two cards on left top, second pair of cards on right top and the
 last two below - something like this:

i used Lo scarabeo - Pamela Colman Smith Tarot.
Each card represents a question.

1 - Why do I continue to stay in this situation?
2 - What can I learn by staying?
3 - How can I honor myself and my needs should I decide to stay?
4 - How will leaving the situation help me?
5 - What is the best way for me to leave this situation?
6 - What is my overall lesson?

and Tarot told me this:

1 - Why do I continue to stay in this situation? - two of pentacles 
(  a choice to make, safe paycheck at the end of the month or start a 
quest for a more gentle and quiet job at the worst economic time ever. 
maybe the lemniscate is telling me that i should balance life at the moment  )
2 - What can I learn by staying? - four of swords (I can learn that my 
inner peace lies in me, not in my coworkers, not in the environment,
 not in my Boss. I'm the ruler of my inner peace - the final decision is on my Mind. )
3 - How can I honor myself and my needs should I decide to stay? - The Hierophant
 ( Sustaining the Status Quo - I'll be able to keep my obligations, 
i'll be a functional citizen in this strutured society. i'll be playing by the rules... )
4 - How will leaving the situation help me? - Justice ( leaving will help me find a more
 balanced life,but only through awareness and action - a major Moment in my life.)
5 - What is the best way for me to leave this situation? - five of cups ( understanding that 
if i make that decision, it will be a time of emotional instability  realising that if I decide
 to cross the bridge i'll need to experience sadness before i can move on )
6 - What is my overall lesson? - The Hermit ( such a major decision can only be made with a deep 
and profound reflexion. meditation in solitude will be my discipline for the next  28 days. )

After lunch i finished the psychic way.

authored by Barbara Ford-Hammond.

a book for beginners about psychisms and tuning your Intuition - 
 from auras to chakras, pendulums, self-hipnose , meditations , spirit guides
 , law of attraction - nothing really new to me!

Barbara's writing is very fluid ( I wish she had some stories about Mrs P ).
If you know nothing on the subject, it's a friendly way to start..or you can always read

CLINT MARSH - THE MENTALIST'S HANDBOOK

One thing that barbara talks about in her book is past life regression.

Recently I purchased from Jason Augustus Newcomb a past life regression mp3.

First impression on this 30 minutes hipnose guide session was pretty cool.
I was willing to make it work and it worked,
To listen someone instead of myself has freed me even more
I achived a deep hipnotic state as the ones i got with ritualist music.
Wish he had spent more time with the memories of this life, he used the chakras system,
 i replaced the same with the Aetheric Dozen.

when i Got there, i realised i was a woman, a french old woman living in 1843
, my name was Marie and i could see that the occult was also part of this life,
 back then i used to speak with spirits and play with some french cards to fortune-telling.
i felt a very sad emotion, like i was depressed, it was strange because it was not my 
feeling but at the same time it was my feeling. after a while Jason begins to bring us back in a
very energetic tone. Need to repeat soon. 

See you in Aether!

I Should Have Known Better !

i should have known better…
Last sunday i posted my reading for this week.

I interpreted that way.
But sometimes DEATH… means DEATH… it’s not symbology…it’s just Death.

How are we supposed to deal with such an explicit reading .. how are we supposed to translated this into real life ?

 

Aether tip – great blog : http://abysmalwitch.wordpress.com/

p.s. – what also strikes me is that tower was there – sep 11 !
Congratulations Jung, synchronicity right now is a common place.

Getting high with your headphones !

Yesterday i discovered I-doser…
A software program that offers Binaural Brainwave Doses to simulate a specific mood or experience though the use of specialized audio ( they mean good headphones ) .

The technique involves playing two different tones simultaneously to produce a perceived tone inside the head, in order to alter brainwaves ( the reality is from one side you hear white noise the other side a  hertz wave ) .

When i started to use the program i thought it was all placebo.  I used the antimigraine dose and i just couldnt believed how annoying it was but then i focus on the sounds and start to feel some shivers down the spine.

Honestly it’s all in your mind :)

They have an astral travel dose and as an esoteric mentalist must give a try…

If you see me all crazy in the Aether you already know what is the cause.
Just send my headphones away…

Reading for next Week – RWS

It always amazes me how tarot can mirror our situation in such a explicit way.
So…

I’m the six of pentacles – Unequal Relationship, in all RWS sixes one person stands above and superior to… and i definitely feel superior to my coworkers at the moment. they don’t have the experience or the skills and right now i couldnt care less.
Across  -  Queen of cups – this card clearly represents my Mother, she has the emotional stability and we are so obviously the small cross of this reading..
My higher self is the King of Cups. i do aim to rule that element, but somehow the form is escaping me ( need to practice exercise 30 )
The root – Six of cups – although i want to change , i procrastinate that decision ad nauseam. home safeness feels good ( need to be that little guy moving away )
Past – Tower – My grandfather recent passing – once more i was face to face with our mortality, our perceptions are destroyed in seconds – what does really matter ? In the Aether remains all the stories we shared toghether…

Present – two of wands – duality – should i stay or should i go… FMI is here, unemployment rate is at the highest. and i don’t have the best paycheck , but is far from the worst – and despite that i spend every second thinking when it’s friday  ( it’s a nightmare as bad as Rebecca Black’s song – if you don’t know Rebecca Black just forget i mention her  )

Hopes – Knight of wands – Intellectually i have what i takes to move on to a more pleasent job but my…
Fears – Death – show me that such a rough transition would collapse my remaining energies.
Surroundings – Nine of wands – Another stage card, Am i an audience member , a performer or a Creator ? – i’d say im the performer here, using all my vitality to protect and defend my space, in the past i already had my issues not doing so.

Outcome – Knight of cups, i only realised yesterday looking at the card that is the only knight who has hermes wings on his helmet – i’m aiming to be the King but i know  the knight energy is what mirrors me best. At least i’m moving somewhere…

SORRY MY EXOTIC ENGLISH

See you in Aether !

Pixie is the Best!!!

I absolutely love Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative tarot Set.

i loved it so much that i framed Miss Pamela’s photo.

The cards conveys a sense of age.  it feels so mistic, like you could do a reading at midnight in a dark carnival.
This centennial tarot deck naturally draws me to Aether.my readings are so much more profound now.
It doesnt matter how many Tarot decks i see none has this rich, sublime, exquisite and sinestesic simbology  ( Sorry Thoth ).

Lo scarabeo is very good too. ( and extremely accurate )

P.s. – In order to help me rise my vibration, i bought a tibetan singing bowl..let’s see if this expensive tool will enlighten me :)

 

See you in Aether.
