Update
02.23.06 (12:16 pm) [edit]Yes it has been forever and a day since I posted on this blog. I havent had the energy to post on two blogs. I have barely enough motivation to post on one. Today I almost didn't get out of bed. It's not like I have much to get up for anyways. No job at the moment. I have been unemployed for 4 months now. The job scene is scarce where I am at. I would move to vancouver but I need money and a place before I do that or a guaranteed job. I have also played with the thought of moving to alberta. It's where my dads side of the family is. It would be nice to see my dad. That is if he actually wants to see me after 6+ years of not. If I was to move out to alberta I would live with my grandparents first in st.albert which is right by edmonton. Then once I could I would move to edmonton. But I really am not motivated at this point to do much. I am just walloing in the my father doesnt want me and my mom doesnt like me mood. It is partly true.
So on a different note I bought some rocks the other day. Obsidian kayanite moonstone and amthyst. I also own a florite necklace and a tigerseye bracelet. The little chunk of obsidian is pretty cool to look at. It is quite smooth and shiny. They are all supposed to have these different properties. Although I don't quite get how you are suppose to use a rock. I mean it's a rock...
So that's it for now I think I will just go back to feeling apathetic.
Meditation
02.08.06 (1:06 pm) [edit]There are so many different ways in which to meditate. Meditation is not all "om om om". It isent all monks going "om om om". Many different people meditate. Meditating isent always for enlightenment or to have wacked out visions. Sometimes people meditate just to relax. They just are quiet and still and they let thoughts float on by. Other people meditate by picturing something and trying hard to only keep that their object of meditation. They explore the object in as many ways possible. It can be absolutly anything. A flower a tree anything. All different religions meditate. People who don't follow a religion meditate. I know christians who meditate. They sit and think on God jesus the bible etc. Meditation isent just a thing for one type of people. Many use it and adapt it to their own lives. It can be useful to try it other ways as well as the way you may meditate. Instead of just using it to calm one day use it instead to explore a concept and idea or an object. Explore meditation. Try different breathing techniques when you are meditating. Be in control of your body. You can become much more aware of things when your meditating. So try it! Try just sitting down closing your eyes (you don't have to close the eyes but it helps) and letting thoughts flow by. Or try focusing on one thing and only that one thing. Sometimes a little meditation in whatever way you use it is a very helpful thing.
Thoughts of a Mind
02.07.06 (12:58 pm) [edit]This blog of mine has seemed to have turned into more of an adventure then anything else. Yes I have shown my feelings more freely than I usally do. It is like I am thinking on this blog. My search for something true is here. When I say true I mean some truth that I can touch see feel hear or just know for sure. I want truth. I want something that is real. I am sifting through beliefs cultures and such to find something that is true. Something that is actually what it says it is. I have never been sure. But maybe we cannot ever be 100% sure of anything so maybe my search is flawed and can never succed. I have found things that are true. But no ultimate truth.
Where is the truth?
02.06.06 (12:33 pm) [edit]So where is the truth? Is it in a book a person a prophet? Is it in us? Is there truth at all? If there is truth in a book will people all see the same truth? No they will interpret it differently. Is there only one type of truth or truths out there? Is it once true always true? The only truth we can be fully 100% aware of and control is the truth of how we conduct ourselves and deal with others. That is the only truth we can be 100% on. So that is where the truth lies. The unchanging truth. The solid truth.
My Thoughts Of The Day
02.03.06 (12:16 pm) [edit]I must admit that I am thinking a lot about my decision to drop christianity as my main belief system. But there were too many things in christanity that just didn't add up. No I am not blaming the church although that is part of it. What if you find truth in some other religions out there? Are you just suppose to ignore them? What if people are healed or guided or whatever by means other than traditional christianity are they being guided by the devil their body or what? Isn't there a story in the bible that mentions how can evil drive out evil? And it says that it can't. So why condem other religions or practices in the world that heal? It is absolutley ludicrus. I think there is truth all over the world. Not just in our western vision of christianity. I have found truth in things other than christianity. But people get all freaked out and say "bad stay away from that stuff!" Why should I if it isent causing negative effects? It is helping me! I still hold a lot of the same moral values as when I was a "chrisitan". In fact I think I hold just about all the same moral values. I still believe abortion is wrong. And there is quite a few others that I still believe are wrong. I act like more of a christian then christian friends of mine which is something that is troublsome. I just don't understand that one. But I think I have run out of steam for today. Or run out of words. I have some other stuff to do. So reply to this if you feel the need...
How I Feel
02.02.06 (12:09 pm) [edit]I feel so drained. I have for a while. It isent 24 -7 that I feel like this but it is quite often. I could sleep forever. I really could. Ok not forever but you get the point. I have two blogs on tblog and it's funny looking at my other one because it's pretty removed from feeling which is what I want it to be. And then there is this one which has quite a bit of feeling which is also what I want it to be. Im getting into stuff in my life that a lot of people find as "taboo". (I think the word taboo is now taboo as well) But I want to take a look at everything . The search for truth should never stop. But I wouldent really totally call what I am doing as searching for one truth. I want to find truth wherever it might be and I want to learn about all cultures. Learning involves more then just reading at least I feel it does. To truly learn about something you should explore it. I absolutley love culture. Culture is everything. The way we eat the way we talk the way we act is all connected to our culture. It is all culture. I absolutley love seeing what people are interested in asking them about it and learning. And I love to see how people live their lives and why it is that they live their lives that way. I love studying and finding obscure facts about cultures now no longer living. And I love to read about how countries came to be. Everything in the world is fascinating from language to the world wars to hitlers mein kamf to food. Yes I said hitlers mein Kamf. He was a person too you know. Yes he did very horrible things but he was a part of this world as well. I love to study and debate. But sometimes it bogs me down as well. Sometimes when I have to much debate sometimes when I have to little. Sometimes I get so depressed that I just stop caring about culture and I don't care about much at all. But my logical mind doesn't let that last long. Dang my logic...
Pendulum
02.01.06 (12:05 pm) [edit]I know I spelt that one wrong. Recently I picked one of them up. Now there are many different types of them I got one thats purple green and clear in some spots. I guess it's average size and it cost me about 5$. It was slightly damaged thats why I got it so cheap. Apparently with a pendulum your first suppose to determine which direction means yes which means no and if there is a maybe direction. So I did this. It seems that the "moving" of the pendulum is kinda like a subconcious thing. It isent really "divine" in the current sense of the word. Its like your asking your inner self or your subconcious to answer a question for you. It doesn't tell the future because your subconcious doesn't know what the future is but it is helpful in working out simple matters to start of with. It is kind of like thinking things through but with a bit more of a guilse to yourself. Back to the moving of the pendulum. It appears to move on it's own well with your subconcious' help. But it seems that it is kind of a reaction. You ask your subconcious something and it responds through your body your muscle reactions mainly in this case. So the pedulum is an interesting tool and I plan on continuing to use it.
Message to You Who Are Reading
01.31.06 (12:10 pm) [edit]It has come to my attention that this blog is getting more attention from the side of the spectrum that isent even interested in so called divine things. It seems that everytime I post the more christian side of tblog is waiting and ready to try and convert yet when I try to hold an intelligent tmail conversation with them they are nowhere to be found. I'm not really surprised by this nor do I take to much offense. I actually did expect it. Well I didn't expect to be hawked but I did expect that if I was it would be a pretty weak attempt. Most of the time when I do respond on the replies to posts no one comes back to read them anyways. So I ask you would be recruiters of the religion which you belong to are you serious? If so answer my tmails and my replies and continue to ask me questions.
I Feel Lost
01.30.06 (12:41 pm) [edit]I feel lost in the world of divination. I feel lost in the world of tarot. I seem to have hit a brick wall in some ways. I just don't have friends into the same thing. I have a few but I am just starting to get into contact with them again. I don't have many friends into the same thing because I use to be a christian and because I live in like super bible belt city. But I am retieing the ties with my friends who are into the same thing so soon I should feel more comfortable. I do feel more myself now that I am not saying I am a "christian" anymore.
Making The Runes
01.30.06 (12:04 pm) [edit]So I have started to make my Nordic Runes. So far it is going pretty good. They look alright I guess but I havent really seen too many sets of runes so it is quite hard for me to judge. I have seen one set up close to be exact so I hope they look alright. I'm going to be selling Runes eventually but I am thinking of keeping the first set I make. I love collecting anything that has to do with culture and religion so I might keep these for ya know reference. I hope to make money off of them eventually. And I hope to make money off tarot cards eventually as well. I would start offering readings in my city I even have a shop to do it at but I just havent done really enough practice readings to charge money yet. I just have issues with spitting out what 10 random cards mean seperate and apart. Soon enough I will be doing it face to face though. I look forward to it...
Runes
01.26.06 (3:57 pm) [edit]For today I don't have too much to say. I havent for a few days but I am sure that that will change eventually. I will be starting to make my own runes and selling them hopefully. It seems like I would be able to sell them quite easily because there isent that much of a market in my city right now for them. You can't really get them and when you can they are insanly overpriced. But I guess since there is only one person in town who makes them they can do that. I will be selling mine for nearly half the price this other person is selling hers for and still make a profit so it all works out... Well that is all I have for todays post.
The horrors!!!OH THE HORRORS!!!
01.23.06 (1:21 pm) [edit]Ok so it is not exactly a horror but it does suck. I live in a small city. A city that does not have a group of tarot or of divination or anything like that. At least not one that I can root out. And people here if they are into this stuff seem to be fine on their own. But I like to bounce my ideas off people. And when non of your friends or family are into what you are and you can't seem to find any groups it sucks. I did find a store that sells Cards and incense and things of that general nature so I checked it out and asked the owner do you do any of this stuff and she gave me a kind of cryptic " yeah some", and that was it... I found a book store that has some books on it and some interesting stuff aimed towards this type of crowd so at least I can talk with the person there but I mean she's busy running her store... So I feel kinda bleh because I want to have a group of people getting together talking about this and other things but it seems hard to do. I would do it at my house but that is just immpossible at the moment... So for now im stuck. Yet another thing that sucks is that there seems to be a serious lack of people on tblog actually interested in this topic as well. Well at least I can't find their blogs. So here is mine! Well I havent been studying much on this stuff latley so I do not have a whole lot more to say at this point... However as always if there are any of you out there that have any questions about tarot or anything of the sort let me know. And I do offer readings over the net well I do now anyways. There kind of a practice thing at the moment. So like I said if there are any questions ask away.
Tarot Study
01.20.06 (12:19 pm) [edit]Ok again for today it is the tarot. First I wanted to say something about yesterdays post and my response to a comment/question. I said that I don't use the tarot as a "divine" tool I use it as a reflection tool. And that is true however I believe that there are things in this world we cannot explain and I believe that there are people who use the tarot differently and truly do have some sort of gift to use it that way. I do believe that there are people out there who are more "sensitive" to things like palmistry tea leaf reading and so on. I am a skeptic however so I must admit it is hard for me to go very far into it. But I do think that there are far too many people out there who don't actually look at things objectivly and only look at things spiritually. Anyways if I promised I was going to get more into a certain aspect of the tarot yesterday and don't today well I will eventually. There is a website that I would like you to be aware of. It is a great website for people who want to learn about the tarot. www.learntarot.com It gives you info on the cards various decks and there are excerises and so on. It is a free teaching tool so I would urge you to check it out if you want to learn about the tarot but don't want to buy a book. WARNING!!! Ok so it's not that urgent but please pay attention to this if you pay attention to anything in this post. There is more then one person using the tarot. Therefore there is more then one "way" out there that people think towards them. Don't be taking in instantly by people who talk about the "vibrations of the cards". Decide for yourself what they do. But please please be logical about it! At least as logical as you can be. Well I am going to check my post from yesterday and see if I promised anything to be posted specifically today. And a note. I want to let you guys know that I am not as "experienced" as some out there but I do know the facts. Don't just take my word for it though. Check other sources. I will make links avaliable shortly to sites that are from all spectrums of the tarot. (Once I can figure how to with this template)Any questions?
The Tarot
01.19.06 (12:08 pm) [edit]Today I thought it would be a good idea to introduce people to the tarot tell them a little about what exactly is contained in a deck. I won't go into the history of the tarot at least not right now. I don't think the average person really wants to hear that to start off with. So the tarot contains 78 cards. These cards are split up into two different groups. The Major Arcana which has 22 cards and the Minor Arcana which has 56.The Major arcana consists of cards numbered 0 (the fool) to 21. These cards represent various things but usually when they come up in a spread in a large number they mean something more significant. The Major Arcana consists of cards like the fool the devil the magician the sun the tower. etc. I will give you a list tommorrow. The cards in the Major Arcana can represent a state in life or an event. But like I said usually if they are found in large number in a spread they are thought to be fairly significant. Now the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana is made up of 56 cards. The cards range from ace to 10.There are four suits.The Wands. The Cups. The Swords and The Pentacles. Then there are "court" cards. These cards are The Paige The Knight The Queen and The King. Like the Major Arcana all the cards in the Minor have various meanings. I will go further into the meanings of specific cards tommorrow. Any questions?
