As the work-week begins, a reminder that Carol Sabick de la Herran still needs any prayers/gifts of energy/goodwill you can find it in yourself to send, and can remember to send. I find that making a point of being in connection a couple of minutes three times a day is not only no burden, but in fact is making me wonder why i haven’t been doing this all along.
We’re not alone, and we don’t have to work alone
As I had suggested to others, I have begun sending healing energy to TMI Executive Director Carol Sabick de la Herran (for whatever her own higher self decides, you understand, not trying to mandate a specified result) three times a day.
Yesterday, each time when I began, I asked for the active assistance of a couple of my healer “past lives,” a Norman English monk of the middle ages named Bertram, and a priest from ancient Egypt whose name translates as Joseph. All minds – all souls – outside of time-space are as alive as they were when within time-space. It isn’t as if in connecting to other lives we are talking to statues.
Besides them, I also asked the assistance of Columba, who was the very remarkable Irish monk who founded the community at Iona (off Scotland) a millennium and a half ago. My own “other lives” appear to have associated with him, non-physically, during their own physical lives, in the way that I am associating with them during my physical life. apparently such associations form a permanent bond.
I will not attempt to describe the power and energy that flowed through me. I will only say that, although this was not my first such alliance with non-physical powers, I was surprised at the unmistakable clarity and strength of the link.
I suggest that this is a process you may wish to employ. Obviously if such abilities are available to one, they are available to others as well. Those to whom you connect will probably be different than the ones to whom I connect, but so much the better. The more the merrier.
More than 20 years ago, in the culminating vision of my Gateway experience at The Monroe Institute, I was told and shown that we are never alone, no matter how alone we may appear to be. My life sicne then has only confirmed that vision.
We have very powerful forces available to us, which we may use for good or for ill. We may use them – misuse them – to serve our own needs at the expense of others, and my belief is that only ill can come of that.
Or we can choose to be a channel of blessings for others. What better way to do that than to align with the light and intend the highest good for all beings?
In our science-worshipping age, not only has the oneness of all beings been forgotten – so has the reality of the silent non-physical connections that sustain us in our physical lives from moment to moment. Science is slowly groping its way back from the intellectual extremes that led it to conclude, somewhat hastily, that the physical is all there is, and that humans are only accidental collections of atoms.
However, the religious institutions formed by our ancestors no longer serve us, for many reasons. Whatever institutions we eventually form to help hold us together with the other side are going to be significantly different, perhaps unrecognizably so, and we’re a long way from seeing that happen.
In the meantime, there remains, as a powerful tool, the exercise of prayer.
A friend suggested that I contact the Unity prayer support group online on Carol’s behalf, and I did. I like their prayer here: “You have the healing love of God flowing through you now, restoring energy and vitality.” If the word “God” makes you uneasy, feel free to put the same intent in your own words.
Do join with others in praying for Carol’s healing, in whatever form that takes.
Healing energy for Carol: A Call for help
The Monroe Institute’s Executive Director, Carol Sabick de la Herran, has been in the hospital ten days now, suffering among other things from pneumonia and exhaustion, and I’m asking my friends to join me in getting more proactive. I know from long experience that people can send healing energies to others, merely by focusing their intent. If you would, I’d ask that we all send her healing energy three times a day, say just before we ate each meal?
I don’t think it should be energy intending to dictate a result (a common error among beginning healers) but there couldn’t be any harm in sending energy for her best and highest good, in whatever way her own higher self could use it. There’s a terrific power in focused intent, and the people on this list sending blessings to her three times a day is perhaps the one useful thing we can do for her. You don’t need to know her, and you don’t need to know anything about her medical condition. Your intent is the powerful factor. It’s a way to be a channel for blessings, always a good thing.
Sound like a good idea? Three times a day, even if we don’t eat three meals a day? My thanks in advance to all who participate.
Reprogramming your robots
I gave a talk yesterday at a local group called Chrysalis, and it occurred to me that the topic of my talk might be of interest to more people than were in the audience. So here it is.
Reprogramming Your Robots – a précis
By Frank DeMarco
One thing about psychic stuff is that it doesn’t really fit into categories. You think you’re working on communicating with guidance, and you realize you’re developing the ability to heal. You think to yourself, aha, I’ve learned something about healing, and you find out that what you thought was physical is actually mental, and what you thought was mental is spiritual, and what you thought was spiritual is physical. Everything interacts. Everything interconnects. In fact, you can say that everything interconnects, or you can say that there’s only one everything, which looks different from different viewpoints.
That probably sounds pretty abstract, but it has important consequences.
Sheldrake, TED, and paradigm wars
This from philosopher Christian de Quincey, anent Rupert Sheldrake’s censored TEDx talk.
For what it’s worth, Yeats in his old age speculated that there is something in the nature of the times (any given times) that makes certain people unable to entertain certain categories of thought. I suspect that is true. We’re not nearly as free to think our own thoughts as we think we are. I don’t think i could become a physicalist (materialist) if i wanted to. It just strikes me as a superstition.

‘TED’ Sparks Paradigm War
Internet video site TED has removed presentations by biologist Rupert Sheldrakeand historian Graham Hancock because—according to TED—their ideas are “pseudoscience.”
What does this mean?
Well, simply, it means that one of the leading Internet sites for sharing intellectual ideas has shut out views that challenge deep-rooted dogmas of modern science—a decidedly unscientific act. It means the folks at TED buy into mainstream scientific materialism as the last word on what is “real” or “ideas worth spreading.”
So, what happened?

Yeats, Working Magic
I find it a great pity that so much experimentation and discovery by men and women who become famous in other fields is disregarded and ignored as though by a conspiracy to silence testimony of the existence and interaction of the non-physical world. You see it in people’s non-quotation of Lindbergh’s out-of-body experiences over the north Atlantic in 1927 (though he himself described it fully in The Spirit of St. Louis) and, especially, in people writing of W.B. Yeats as if he were a poet and nationalist who had only an incidental and fanciful relationship to the other side.

LETTERS AT 3AM –
ME, MYSELF, I, AND MURIEL
Austin Chronicle – April 5, 2013
When I taught high school, I’d go to the blackboard, choose a white stick of chalk, and draw a cube. In its center I’d write an upper-case I.
Then, with my white chalk, I’d draw a figure of similar size: a squiggly, uneven oblong, like the outline of a cloud. Then, with several sticks of colored chalk, I’d write I and i in varied sizes and at varied angles, and note that an upside-down I looks just like a right-side-up I.
“Here’s the deal,” I’d say. “The cube: That’s how Western society, especially American society, defines the individual. He/she possesses firm, easily measurable boundaries, and is governed by a central self, or ego, or I; that same central self signs your checks, lusts after whomever, does your homework, and says ‘Merry Christmas.’ But some folks question this. They’d draw the cloud-like figure and say, ‘What if an individual is not so clearly boundaried? What if your I when you’re with your friends is significantly different when you’re with your parents? What if you even gesture and move with different I’s — different when you’re superdressed for the prom as opposed to hanging out in a bathing suit? What if you experience different I’s going from one thing to another all day? It’s all you, feels like you, but the behavior varies – sometimes, it varies a lot.
