Ghost-busting

I saw my first episode of Ghost Lab and was less than impressed.

Can you inagine when you are most active someone entering your home with all their gizmos and gadgets and demand their wants- Do this! Do that! Appear and preform for some sort of amusement.

Better yet, command you move away from your residence. I don't believe you'd be too happy.

If you demand something from anyone in the earthly world you'd recieve the same
response - nothing.

I'm not going to argue if Spirits are real. To me it's ridiculeus to deny their existance. There is more than enough documented proof Spirits have appeared over and over in many forms. Spirits are just part of the all mighty universe. Not separate from.

If you are going to so-call Ghost-bust, demanding things from them as if it is your right, my message is to remember your manners and have something worthwhile to say or ask for.

Have a meeting of the minds.

Treat the Spirit you want to see or hear from as on old friend visiting or making first time aquaintance.

Don't be rude when requesting a sight of an appritation. You might be granted a glimpse between the veil of the seen and unseen worlds. A Spirit may whisper the answer sought softly in your ear.

PYROMANCY

Pyromancy- noting shapes in burning flames.

Often spirit is said to manifest through FIRE, as fire is the closest element to pure energy.

Be seated. Stare deeply into and fixedly into the glow, counting your heartbeats under-breath. Do you see what I see?

Man's Immortal Soul

None of us can travel too far in life and remain a stranger to death. Death is something we all have to face. The terminal departure causes us pain, and grief that tears us apart.

When we stand at the casket of a loved one who has died, we weep and the heart drowns in the depths of sorrow. The idea that death is absolute end of existence scares many people, because our time together is over, but what if your loved one wasn't really gone forever?

Death is not the end but, rather a passage to the afterlife.

Humans possess an immortal soul is a doctrine shared in many faiths. Almost all people since the beginning of the human race have believed in some form of afterlife. Only in recent times and only in Western countries, have a large number of people maintain death is oblivion.

What if invisible entities capable of surviving the death of the physical
body wander about on their own time line. No more good-byes or
separation for your loved one is close by.

I believe people live, even though they die a physical death. I am a believer in Spirits. I have a definite belief in existence of an afterlife, because I have had experiences involving manifestations. I simply know.

When you are sad, lonely and feeling disconnected from loved ones who have crossed over to the other side simply have a conversation with them. Make time for them in your daily life to bring peace to your grieving heart.

You and you alone are the link between the living and of those the spirit world. Talk to Spirit. Tell your loved one about what you feel is important. Spirit will answer with a personal message so you will know they are near. Close your eyes, picture the person you miss standing before you and say:

"______________, I am lost with out you. Please put your arms around me and hold me in your loving embrace. Whisper to me, let me know your here."

Imagine the contentment that will result when dead loves are included in your life on the earthly plane.

BIRTHDAY CYCLE

I would like to thank my family and friends who surrounded me
with good wishes, love and laughter on my Birthday")

Born November 24, I am a Sagittarius-known as the element
Fire. My mother says she could see from her hospital bed
the sky ablaze the night I entered the world. ( Bury plywood
plant burnt down on this evening.)

BIRTHDAYS hold special significance in our lives. Where ever
a birthday falls on the calender, the date marks the start of each
individuals "New Year."

The new day itself is a beginning mixed with magical energy to
start new projects, make big moves and receive support and
recognition because everyone is naturally attune to your Sun
sign.

In the year long rhythm there are two "down" times. The month
before your birthday when you could be depressed and depleted,
and then six months from your birthday when you feel at odds
with everyone.

The critical points come about three months to the day after
your birthday. Six months to the day after that and nine
months to the day after that. We begin a new personal year
three months later when the sun will return to the exact point
in the sky when each person was born.

If you become attune to your natural personal year rhythms,
you may be able to understand your emotions and actions to
harmonize your life.

Lucky days to be born upon include the first day of the month,
year or a cycle of the moon.

To cry on your birthday you will cry every day of the coming
year.

Lighting candles on a birthday cake, usually one for each year
is derived from ancient Greek custom. The traditional lighting
of candles on a birthday cake symbolizes good luck and health
for the coming year. If the candles are blown out with a single
breath while making a wish will surely come true if refuse to
divulge the wish.

Charles Darwin

November 24 Charles Darwin controversial Orgin of Species published 1859

The evolution theory states we are what and where we are as the result of "natural selection," the "selecting" done by an animal force that began with o one-cell protozoan, gradually over million of years evolving to the statue of human.

In the year 1831 a crowd gathered around an English port for a glimpse of the large
sea vessel called the H.M.S. Beagle. With the sails wide open, up high a sailor stands in the crow's nest acting like a lookout for things to come. The course is set for South America and the surrounding Pacific Islands. A young man, Carles Robert Darwin, is aboard working as the ship's naturalist. He is observing plant and animal life in their natural environment. The scientific voyage sailed for five years and young Darwin collected data wherever the ship was put ashore. Charles successfully kept exceptional track of all the samples containing all his observations. returning to England he began to evaluate the information he gathered.

While reviewing his research he became very interested in his finding on the Glapagos, an island located in the eastern pacific. On this rather limited geographic area he found it didn't possess a large number of different animal species. Yet a variety of the ones inhabiting the island, 13 different finches and several more tortoise. His studies took over 20 years before his theory of evolution by natural selection was to take form. This theory would make him famous, a show case for the explanation of how we evolved.

A summarization of Charles Darwin's careful examination:

1. No two organisms of whatever kind, whether animal or plant, natural or domesticated, turn out to be exactly alike. The difference in the inborn characteristics of individual organism, termed variations, are to be taken as a law of nature. Every living thing is unique.

2. Plants and animals produce more offspring than can be provided for. There exist
natural checks to compensate for the overproduction of all living forms and to keep
their numbers with in reasonable bounds.

3. The most effective natural check upon overpopulation is the competion of organisms
for space and food-the struggle for existence. Every living thing goes through trails and tribulations to survive.

4. In the course of this constant competition those organisms possessing variations
that make them especially well adapted to the conditions under which they live have a
decided advantage. The struggle for existence results in the survival of the fittest.

5. The better-adapted organisms that manage to survive transmit the traits that
contributed to their survival to their offspring. Your children are a product of you.

6. The inheritance of traits with high survival values furthers the process of natural selection and may in time give rise to a new species.

We are part of the laws of nature.

Witch Of Endor

Saul was afraid of an impending attack by a mighty army of Philistines, who had joined by his rival, David. He gathered the Israelites and camped at Mount Gilboa. He sought advice from prophets and divination by sacred lot and from the Lord, but he received no answer as to his fate or the action he should take. Saul instructed his servants, "Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire to her." His servants directed him to the pythoness at Endor, whose name is never given.

Saul disguised went to the witch the same night. At first, she was frightened that he had come to expose her as a witch: "Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he hath cut off those that have familar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

Saul assured the woman he meant no harm and instructed her to conjure Samuel from the dead. She did as she was asked. She preformed her ritual. She told Saul that God was displeased with him for his disobedience and had torn his kingdom from his hands and given to David. The next day he would loose his sons and Israel would be given to the Philistines. When what she said came true, Saul took his sword and fell upon it.

Reginal Scot, the 16th century English writer attempted to debunk witchcraft said, the witch played out her incanttions, lied about seeing gods or angels and about seeing the spirit of old Samuel. He believed the witch was a ventriloquist, speaking in a counterfeit hollow voice.

Just who it may have been who thought the word "witch" in connection with the story of King Saul and the woman of Endor, is not known, but whoever it may have been, evidently he did not like psychics.

Extremely unfavorable overtones and undertones attached themselves to the the word "witch." It does not appear in the Bible account of event. The woman Saul consulted is merely described as a "woman," and she was a trance medium.

The word "witch" appears only once in the entire King James Version of the Bible, in a chapter far removed from the Saul story; and in this one case other versions use other terms. One gives it as "sorceress" and one even alters the sex and refers to it as "wizard."

Nowadays many prominent and highly respected persons of both sexes are reconized as psychic sensitives, such as mediums, clairvoyants, psychometrists, ect.

The correct description when speaking of King Saul's dilemma is "the medium of Endor.
