reasoning the psychic/spirit walker

It is said that some people see and speak to ghosts and other spirits. Those of the Shamanic teachings say that in order to see and speak to spirits you have to have come close to death or died and come back.

When you think about it this makes some sense. After all, if the spirits have seen you and you have seen them in the spirit world, would it not stand to reason that the spirits who have something to say, know who to contact now?

I believe that spirits communicate through what they know and how they know it. It doesnt mean that how they are able to express what they know is the way we would like, or understand. What might be scary to us is nothing more than description, clue, or fact to them. We living here in the mundane and so called civilized world are not accustomed to the ways of the dead and deathly. Accepting that though life can be beautiful, death is a part of it and isnt always pretty.

Whether or not you believe in ghost, spirits, or the other worlds, might have to do with if you have been there or not. I dont believe that everyone who dies comes back a believer. Only those the spirits can trust or those they believe who will understand have that privilege.

doing what I love

In thinking I might need to improve my lifestyle I have been considering going back to school. At this time in my life school is an option "if"
1. i could finish in a timely manor and apply my education to a career
2. my career choice pays more than the difference of the cost of school.

Taking this into consideration I have to say no to school. Its just not financially practical. I would have to take pre math and science classes just to pass the entrance. So I have been thinking of other ways to improve things. Asking myself questions like "what am I good at that people would pay for?" and "how would I build a business on doing what I love?" What is it that I love to do?

This....this is what I love to do. Spiritual awareness discovery of life and life beyond. How do I improve my life in a financial way with this? Art? maybe. I dont want to be one of those people who opens a shop and sells what could be mistaken or accused of being fake or fraudulent.

This is just another step in discovery I suppose. "how to apply who I am to what I should do with what I know" and another step in my journey arrives.......

Fluff in Shamanic Works

OK here is why I blame Christianity on the fluff in shamanic works.

if you look back in time Shamans were the tribal council head on how to rid the tribe of witchcraft and its curses. By doing this they would work their own brand of magic and warding.

Christianity says that magic and warding is no different than what the witch does so it is ALL witchcraft and will not be known as a "good" thing.

My take on much of the new age fluffyism is that because of the persecution made upon all who stray from "gods way" and the bible, made up crap was spoken to keep a practice alive. In turn i think its been taken as "fact" over the years and become more accepted by the general public (which are the Christians) Now that its all been misspoken by the laymen "anyone" can achieve shamanic trance work with practice and money can be made by writing on it.

so yeah I blame the Christians for making the original practice an evil thing and the practitioner having to hide the truth to stay alive without persecution.


Quacks are something else altogether. There are those who have achieved the ways of being a shamanic practitioner. They can do anything a Shaman can do. The problem is they do it for a lot of money for people they dont even know.
1.) Payment is always something of a controversy because a Shaman is supposed to be family or tribal. We as Americans have lost the idea of honesty. Getting something for free is not honest, its robbery.
2.) a Shaman is supposed to know the person s/he works on. If a person isnt ready emotionally, and foolishly seeks out a healing they arent ready for it is the shamans job to either prepare the person for the work to be done or turn the healing away.
2 b: preparing can take months or even years depending on the work at hand. I have seen so called Shamans charging as much as 1000 dollars for a healing or soul retrieval to a perfect stranger. a single one hour session of counseling does not let a person "know" another person.


I call these people quacks not because of the work they do, but why they do it. They are irresponsible and careless to the talent they have and give "real" Shamans a bad name.

back in the saddle

after a brief time of being down and out (so to speak) I am back up in the saddle. I wasnt expecting to bounce back this quick, but I have.

Lesson #1: Healing isnt about making things right, Its about making things better. I may be wrong for you but I am certainly not wrong for me.

Lesson #2: Being right for me isnt always or ever right for someone else. Agreeing to disagree is often a good place to leave things.

Lesson #3: Watching someone new and interesting live out part of their life can often put a new spin on yours, even if its stupid television. Gene Simmons stated, "it doesnt matter what you have, if you have something, someone else will want to buy it"

Lesson #4: sitting and stewing while angry only creates more anger. It doesnt calm you down, it doesnt let things pass. If there is a problem deal with it, if you are the problem then step away or someone will deal with it for you.

In the end when there is strife .....
1: (from within) there is a lack of growth. It means I am not maturing the way my spirit wants me to mature
2: (from without) if I have conflict or disagreement I am not mature enough to know what to do about it. which is why there is strife.
