Tibetan Mastif Pup sells for 1 Million pounds – close to $2 Million

This story just hit the news today:

£1 million for ‘world’s most expensive dog’
A Red Tibetan Mastiff puppy has become the world’s most expensive dog after being sold for almost £1 million.

Tibetan Mastiffs are huge and fierce guard dogs that have stood watch over nomad camps and monasteries on the Tibetan plateau for centuries.

They are thought to be one of the world’s oldest breeds, and legend has it that both Genghis Khan and Lord Buddha kept them. Read the rest of the story: Tibetan Mastif

I have to take exception with a couple of things in this story:

1) Tibetan Mastiffs are only fierce against dangers to those they protect (people). I lived with 9 – yes NINE of them for almost a year, and they were wonderful with my baby boy – then under a year old. Two of them were actually his companions. It has been the Chinese media spin that publicizes them as being very vicious and dangerous. They actually have very sweet dispositions, but if a tiger, or a wolf or even a lion were to attack you, they would defend you – and win.

2) My dear friend Martha Hamilton Snyder raises these dogs in Virginia. Yes, they are very rare in the US. She has a wonderful assortment of bloodlines and very beautiful dogs. One of her dogs is a BLUE Tibetan Mastiff named Avalanche, and he is beautiful and enormous, promising to be a real show stopper should he go that route.

'Avalanche' a Blue Tibetan Mastif

‘Avalanche’ is not a Red Tibetan Mastiff like the one featured in the story above, he is a Blue Tibetan Mastiff and a truly exquisite dog.

Avalanche is a Blue Tibetan Mastiff

If you are interested in one of these dogs please contact me at:

There is a very high standard required for ownership of these special dogs, they are simply not right for everyone.

Scorpion Totem, Scorpion Medicine

scorpion totem

The image of the scorpion is enough to strike fear, awe and a healthy dose of respect into the heart of anyone who meets one! There are thousands of varieties of scorpions, and yet, only 3 possess a lethal venom.

And, yes, scorpion totem medicine is not for the faint of heart. It is traditionally associated with shaman and shamanic healing, because at it’s root that is the power that scorpion has to share with us.

As a totem animal, scorpion confers the powers of charisma, rejuvenation, transformation, death and rebirth, sales, magnetism, passion, intensity, boldness and healing at the cellular level.

Recently the scorpion venom has been studied to fight certain types of cancer. It is also associated with youth and renewal. Scorpion medicine is very powerful for those who know how to use it. Even though the scorpion totem is associated with the Zodiac sign of Scorpio, this is not the same thing as having and using Scorpion medicine as a personal totem. The use of the totem animal personally is much more specific and meaningful than the generalities of a zodiac sign.

One of the greatest powers that scorpion totem has to offer is the ability to remove and cut out those things that are no longer needed or useful. You may want to think of it as the scorpion tail stinging and removing things that are causing dead weight, obstruction, pain or illness in your life. In this way, the scorpion stinger can be used usefully, to clear, heal and remove obstacles and toxins.

Salmon Totem, Salmon Medicine

The Salmon has a long and deep relationship with the original peoples of America. Those of the first nation owed a great deal of their sustenance and nourishment to the supply of Salmon. Indeed their ability to make it through hard times was often very dependent on the Salmon population.

alaskan art - salmon totem

As a personal Totem, Salmon energy represents instinct, persistence, strength, resiliency and the ability to overcome obstacles. Most of us are aware that the Salmon is a unique and special being among the fish species, due to it’s intense struggle to swim upstream to return to the place of it’s birth and spawn a new generation. For this reason, people of Salmon Medicine will have strong ties to the place of their birth, and will often have a long, invigorated struggle to return to their place of source – weather that is a physical place or a spiritual place.
The Color of the Salmon is also very significant, it is not orange, nor is it pink or red. And yet it has elements of all of these colors in it. This Totem of Salmon can be very helpful in connecting you to love for self and others (pink) courage, strength and persistence (red) and clan, passion, creativity and reproduction (orange). The Salmon Medicine is also extremely powerful for overcoming fear, scarcity or lack.

The oils of the Salmon are very rich in Omega fatty acids, which have recently been praised for their health benefits. Salmon Totem can also aid in improving heart function and represents the ability to live a long life, filled with passion, accomplishment and the ability to overcome all obstacles. Enjoy your Salmon Totem!

Could the Recession have been avoided?

Mark Joyner thinks so, here’s what he has to say about it:

Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

READ THIS OR GO BROKE!
If you had known and acted on these 5 simple rules, you
likely would have walked away from the last 7 stock market
crashes completely unscathed – or even with a tidy profit.
… and I’m about to teach you this entire system for FREE …

From:
Mark Joyner
San Francisco
Friday 1:27am

Ask people who know me and they’ll tell you: I’m not the kind of guy who gets upset easily. In fact, I have what some may call a pretty long “fuse”.

But today I’m as angry as I’ve ever been in my life.

In fact, I’m downright pissed off.

I’ll explain precisely why in a second.

(What I’m about to share with you will probably piss you off, too. But don’t worry. I have one heck of a solution and I’m going to give it to you for free.)

First, here’s a little bit of background …

While I don’t get angry often, I do find myself getting annoyed from time to time.

Why?

Well, because I see people causing themselves to suffer needlessly all day long.

In fact, Simpleology itself, and all of the courses we’ve created were designed to relieve various types of suffering.

- physical suffering, obesity, low energy, and ill health?

We show you how to resolve almost 99% of it in Simpleology 103.

- “information overload,” procrastination, low productivity and the like?

That’s pretty much obliterated in Simpleology 101.

- slow business and/or financial trouble?

We cover that in Simpleology 102, the 7 Day Business Turnaround Kit, the Bestseller Blueprint, and several other extremely powerful business courses.

- and so on …

You get the idea.

Our courses and software are used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Simpleology.com is one of the most popular websites in the world. And we have thousands upon thousands of glowing success stories from the people who changed their lives using these tools.

Here is a small sample …

But I must say: I’m annoyed with myself.

I put off writing Simpleology 202 for several years, and I firmly believe …

IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE LAST RECESSION!

I know … I know …

That must sound extremely arrogant. I’m aware …

But I genuinely believe that statement to be true. By the time you are done with this course, you’ll be a believer, too.

How do I know?

Because I’m about to present to you several irrefutable truths.

Some truths are so obvious that, once you hear them, they change your life forever.

Take, for example the law of gravity. Once you hear it, it’s trivially easy to prove to yourself that it’s true. You can’t “un- learn” it. Ever. It’s immediately part of the way you view the world.

See what I mean?

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

There are a few other things you need to understand before you can fully appreciate what you’re about to experience.

The first is one that might be hard to swallow, but …

Pet Psychic, Animal Communicator

Recently, where I live, my pet psychic skills were called upon to help out with the flock of sheep, when a few sheep started disappearing. We found a strategy that would ward off the mountain lions and the coyote’s, but it was equally important to get one of the new puppies to stop chasing the poor little sheep for sport!

But this place isn’t nicknamed the Fertility Farm for nothing, we have since had two new lambs and at least one more on the way. So the stock is assured.

You can find more information on how I became a pet psychic here: Animal Communicator

The Blue Fire and Kundalini

Kundalini is very much misunderstood in Western culture. In the west we equate the breathing, touching and eye-contact techniques as purely sexual. But they are not.

Yes, Kundalini is the life-force energy, which is also sexual energy. But in order to use this energy and to direct it and experience higher states of consciousness and, yes — bliss with a partner — means to contain and direct this force, NOT to succumb solely to the pleasure of pure sexuality.

Actually, the deepest secret of Kundalini and sex is the concept of the Heiros-Gamos or sacred marriage which unites the male and female principles together in order to achieve higher states of consciousness. This union allows the Male and Female aspects of God to express themselves physically through the two partners.

The male and female aspects of God are represented in the physical body as the Red flame and the Blue flame. The Red flame travels the Right side of the spine (the masculine side of the body) the Blue flame represents the physical expression of the divine feminine principle. It travels the Left side of the Body (the female side of the body).

When both are activated they form a circuit and make a figure 8 around the body, create a hissing sound in the ears and make the whole body feel kind of like a wind-tunnel. This hissing (or frying) sound is one of the reasons that the Kundalini is depicted as a Cobra in mystical drawings. At this point there it’s a journey into the psychic realms. This is also known as a psychic awakening or spiritual awakening. This whole experience creates a whole-body/spirit kind of ecstasy that goes way beyond sexuality. It is also possible to achieve it without a partner and without any form of sexual connection with another person.

If you’ve ever taken LSD then you have a small understanding of what this journey can be like. the difference is that, not only do you NOT need drugs to take this kundalini voyage – drugs will get in your way and harm your vehicle (your body).

True shamanism uses this energy and has access to it without drugs, violence or substances. Spiritual awakening and psychic development take place through breathing, energetic balance and self-mastery.

Kundalini awakened in unhealthy ways (usually through the use of drugs or violence) can lead to certain forms of mental illness, psychosis and a loss of touch with reality, this is known as Kundalini syndrome. This is why kundalini practices are actually very strict and emphasize the mastery over one’s own impulses – this is a prerequisite to being able to awaken and use kundalini energy.

The Blue Fire is the energetic representation of the Divine Female Essence inside of the body, specifically in connection to the Spine. Not everyone has their kundalini awakened – and for good reason. We are naturally protected from hurting ourselves with the power of this energy until we are able to handle it. It takes certain development before we are actually ready to manage the awakened Kundalini energy in our body. Blue flame, or blue fire connects to the ‘Blue Pearl’ which is the pineal gland in the middle of the brain. It is an intensely psychic center and opens psychic knowing, access to the akashic records, spirit guides and enlightened masters, and eventual enlightenment for ones self. This is the true goal for using the Kundalini energy.

Lynx Totem Medicine

Lynx is actually a family of cats that include the Bobcat, Canadian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx and Iberian Lynx. They vary in color from pale grey and silver to a deep amber gold with darker brown or black markings. The Lynx is characterized by the tufts of hair on their ears and the short tail. The word Lynx means ‘Shine’ and is thought to be a reference to their eyes which flash and reflect light.

A medium sized predator cat, the Lynx eats all types of rodents, small mammels like fox, turkeys, birds, goats and even deer, but the mainstay of it’s diet is usually rabbit, especially the Canadian Lynx who dines mostly on the Snowshoe Hair.

Lynx usually lives in areas with plenty of shrubbery and ground cover and where caves, and rock crevasses are available for them to live in. The Lynx is a solitary animal who will travel in packs and pair up to mate, but spends most of it’s time independently. The Lynx mother is fiercly protective and will give her life for her cubs which are usually a litter of between 2-4 each year. Gestation is 10 weeks and the Mother teaches the young to hunt for about 9 months before setting them off on their own. Various Lynx species have been on and off the endangered species list for most of the past century.

Lynx Totem Medicine brings with it a connection to the mystery and unknown side of life – there is always something hidden and a mystery to penetrate when the Lynx shows up. the abbreviated tail of the Lynx represents the ability of Lynx people to operate in the unseen realms of life, to see what isn’t seen, and to hear what isn’t said.

Lynx Medicine is strongly associated with clairvoyance, and Lynx people have extra sensitive perception, which is often misunderstood by others. Many times Lynx people will find that other people are frightened of them, or reject them for no fault of their own. This is part of the Lynx lessons. Lynx teaches those who have it as a totem how to keep their own counsel and maintain the secrets of the ages that others aren’t ready to hear. You see, people are sometimes scared of the Lynx person’s ability to see right through them as if with X-Ray vision.

Lynx people must learn to trust themselves above and beyond anything that the outside world values or teaches. Lynx will always know what is best for him or herself. Lynx people also need to recharge themselves by being alone. And, conversely, they also enjoy time spent with groups of people – in moderation.

The Totem animal Lynx is very closely related to the Sphinx who is the keeper of all unseen mysteries and secrets. Lynx has access to these mysteries and secrets – all they need to do is look inward. The eyes of Lynx people are usually intense and it is sometimes hard for other people to hold their eye-contact. Lynx is also a master of reading mysteries and kundalini voyaging through eye-contact. If you have Lynx medicine you may have found other people both fascinated by staring into your eyes, and frightened of it at the same time.

Different Lynx medicine is represented by the coloring of your Lynx. The silver and greys represent moderating the extremes of life. The reddish, golden coloring of the Bobcat is closely associated with the Kundalini and it’s power and mysteries. But Lynx also knows how to keep these mysteries a secret and will not reveal a truth to you until you are ready for it. It is possible to live with a Lynx person for years without them sharing all that they know about you with you. There is nothing mean in this attitude. Quite the opposite, the Lynx will silently ‘see’ your best qualities and help you through the challenges you create for yourself. Lynx simply knows that people are not usually ready to see the whole truth about themselves all at once. That’s ok, Lynx will wait. Lynx is patient. Lynx knows when to make it’s move. And Lynx is agile, taking out the problem with lightning quick speed once the timing is right.

Lynx as at Totem can be a shape-shifter. This is why they are so connected to so many, many animal totems throughout their lives. There is another girl on the Internet who has Lynx Totem and writes about Animal Medicine, like myself. We both have Lynx as our personal Totem. For me, Lynx has made me a chameleon throughout my life. I can blend in anywhere. I have also been around all manner of animals all of my life, having spent half my chidhood in the Zoo while my Artist father sketched.

If you want to understand the deepest of mysteries, or transform yourself or your life in some way, then call on Lynx. The Totem Medicine of Lynx can help you and heal you at the very core level of your being.

Eagle Medicine, Eagle Totem

Eagle Medicine can be life-changing

“And the day arrived when the security of the familiar was supplanted by a desire for change, notwithstanding the risk and fear of the unknown – and, miraculously and without effort, the bud yielded to the blossom.” -John A. Price

The Eagle as a totem is one of the most recognized images of raw power, dignity and fierceness of any animal. Eagle medicine is something that many aspire to, or are captivated by.

To understand the medicine of the Eagle Totem we want to understand the life and habits of the eagle. Eagle is a predator bird, who soars higher in the sky than any other bird, going to such heights that it will actually disappear from view. It is associated with the Sun and the heavens for this reason and thought of as a bird who can bring messages from heaven to the earth.

As a totem Eagle is associated with the awakened kundalini as well. The Eagle mates for life usually and the mating ritual is so intense and dramatic that it’s almost frightening. The mated pair will soar up into the air and then free fall toward earth during the mating process, break apart and then repeat the whole scene over and over again. Eagle totem represents the deepest and most spiritually awakened form of relationships, often requiring the complete surrender of a previously held way of life or attitude.

In essence Eagle medicine relates to RIGHT RELATIONSHIP – relationship with self, god, partners, nature, society. Eagle calls forth our integrity and requires us to live up to the highest ideals.

Eagle has incredible eyesight and can spot prey from a mile above the ground. If eagle medicine has visited you, then there is a need to look at things from the long-view and see the tiny details waaaay of on the horizon.

The Eagle, along with a few other raptors goes through an amazing transformation when they reach about the age of 40. By this age, their talons, feathers and beak have become so heavy and long that they literally cannot hunt anymore. So the Eagle will go off to a cave or safe area and rip out all of it’s feathers, rip off it’s own talons and smash it’s beak down to a small nub. Then the eagle lives off of insects and other small prey that it can easily catch on the ground until a new set of feathers and claws has grown in.

This is why eagle medicine is considered to be SO very powerful. It represents nothing less that the complete transformation of the life force. When I was 41, Eagle flew into my life through a conscious connection and then literally, in the form of Challenger – the Eagle pictured above. At that time I left a 7 year relationship because it wasn’t going anywhere and I wanted to have children.

Within 6 months of this, I was pregnant with my Son. And within 2 years my entire life had changed dramatically. I moved across the country, to a place steeped in nature, changed my work and career completely and awakened a deeper sense of love and fulfillment in everything that I do. I let go of an old identity – one that had kept me limited, and embraced a new and exciting life that allowed me to fully express the shamanic side of my nature – my full power.

I definitely went through an Eagle initiation during those two years, but I came out the other side in a deep and profound connection to nature, spirit, my son and the meaning in my life. And everything was different. If Eagle Medicine is calling you, then it is quite likely that you are also ready to experience the profound and far reaching changes that call you home to the highest ideals of your soul.

Eagle Medicine as an Animal Totem sends you a message that no matter how much your life changes, how difficult the transition you find yourself in, that there WILL be regrowth and a new beginning. The dignity that the Animal Medicine of the Eagle Totem comes, not from pride or arrogance but rather from overcoming and rising above challenges. This is what Eagle Medicine and Eagle Totem teaches.

Impossible is Just a Word

Impossible is Just a Word

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn’t fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn’t dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can’t do this. It’s too hard. It’s too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are impossible for you to do’ to the list of things you might be able to do.’

As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.

On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, ìNo pain, no gain? That is as true as it can be.

So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

Also, Hypnotherapy sessions are a very powerful way to transform blocks and obstacles that exist in the subconscious mind. This can put you squarely on the path towards success and the achievement of your dreams. I am a skilled Hypnotherapist and can guide you through whatever faces you now towards your dreams.

10 inspirational quotes than can help you improve yourself

10 inspirational quotes than can help you improve yourself – By Antonio Guiseppe

It might take a little coffee or probably a few rounds of beer or any other booze you could get your hands on to relax after a hard day’s work.

But what’s really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move? There really must be something to this ‘mind-over-matter’ thing.

Humor is indeed the best medicine there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard. It’s better to just laugh while facing trouble with a clear mind than anger with a clouded vision.

Woody Allen has this to say:

1. “Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.” It sounds good to me, I mean the practicality of all things does involve money but it doesn’t have to take an arm and a leg to get it.

2. “I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.” ‘Nuff said.

3. “There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?”

Sure, relationships can get complicated, or do have its complications. We follow what our heart desires, unless you’re talking about the heart as in the heart that pumps blood through your body.

4. “Love is the answer, but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.” And if you want more, just keep on asking!

5. “A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said ‘no’.” It sounds, ‘practical’, I think.

And when it comes to everyday life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and it doesn’t involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.

6. “Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.” I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in hot water makes me seasick already.

7. “I am not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” If it rains, it pours.

8. “I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.” It could get worse when you’re guzzling on beer or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!

9. “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” At least he doesn’t smite us with lightning, and I’m thankful for that.

And despite of what may happen to all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we all have to see things in a different kind of light and not just perspective. I can’t seem to imagine life without any piece of wisdom that could guide us. Whether we’re religious or not, it takes more courage to accept your fears and learn how to deal with them is all that matters when it comes to even just getting along.

And to sum things up, here is the last nugget of wisdom to go by however, whenever, and wherever we may be.

10. “The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.”

Ciao!
Antonio Guiseppe

Psychic Readings, Shamanism & “100th Monkey” Syndrome

The idea of the 100th Monkey comes from a nature observation that took place on an Island in the Maldives about the native Monkeys. On this Island, every Mother Monkey used to teach it’s young how to wash it’s food to get rid of dirt – a banana, potato or other root that was dug up – in the stream. This was a common thing that all Mother Monkeys taught to the young.

But then one day something significant happened, a new Monkey was born and already knew how to wash it’s food in the stream. It never needed to be taught. What was more amazing was that EVERY Monkey born after this was also born with the knowledge of how to wash it’s food free of dirt on EVERY Island in the Maldives. After that it was no longer taught by the Mommy Monkeys, it wasn’t necessary.

The idea of the 100th Monkey has come to represent a leap in consciousness, or a level of group ‘knowing’ that no longer needs to be taught. The idea is that once enough people have a skill or knowledge set that it then becomes part of the collective unconscious and then everyone just KNOWS it.

This idea has been around for ever, and is also referred to as the Akashic records in the magical or psychic world. The slight difference is that the Akashic records are a place where all memory and experience, past present and future is held and where a mystic, psychic or shaman can tap in and draw out the information and knowledge as needed. The hundredth Monkey syndrome on the other hand is when an idea or piece of knowledge becomes common knowledge for everyone.

Studies have been done that show all decision making takes place at the subconscious level. Before a major decision there is a bust of activity in the subconscious mind, which stops once the decision becomes conscious.

The benefit of working with a psychic or Shaman is that they are able to dip down into the collective UNCONSCIOUS in order to draw out wisdom and information to solve problems or heal. This is a level of awareness that isn’t usually available in normal every day life. The difference between a simple psychic and a shaman is that the psychic can only ‘look’ at what is going on, but the Shaman can fix, heal and resolve the problems. The world of Nature and it’s vast experiences, is, to the Shaman, one way that God speaks directly to us about ourselves, our lives and our purpose here.

When the 100th Monkey syndrome happens, it means that something that was once part of the collective unconscious has now become a part of the collective conscious – and is suddenly common knowledge.

The Psychic Voyage – Psychedelic or Not?

The last time I smoked pot I was 14 years old.
It was such a horrible and paranoid experience for me that I never wanted to repeat it. After all, I was already going on these kinds of inner journeys without the aid of outside substances.

The first time I did drugs is another story altogether – that actually happened BEFORE I was born.

Growing up in the counter-culture hippie movement taught me a lot about drugs and their uses and misuses. Since I was always psychically open through all this, I learned that drugs were a real no-no for me personally, it was just too, too much.

But many people who want to pursue an inner journey do want to use drugs and other substances to get there. I found a website that does a great job of giving the overview on what this is all about, you can take a look HERE at Deoxy.

About 10 years ago, I did a channelling where the guides said in no uncertian terms that there “were no schools at this time on planet earth that were capable of handling or teaching the mysteries that the substances of drugs offered.” They went on to warn that each substance has it’s own level of consciousness, and therefore it’s own agenda. This was enough for me.

Of all the people I have known who have used substances to further their journey, none of them have opened in a way that I consider particularly enlightened or enlightening. On the other hand, I have known several who have died from it, and far more who have slipped into something resembling insanity.

Back in the day, when I first started doing psychic readings for clients, I worked at the Psychic Eye Bookshop in Venice Ca. One day, this guy came in to have a reading from me. He sat down in front of me and started asking me all these questions about his studies. I just couldn’t stop staring at the area above his head. I’d never seen anything like it before in my life. It looked like a funnel cloud was coming out of the side of his head – you know, like the hurricane that lifted Dorothy off to OZ.

So I asked him if he did a lot of LSD. He looked startled for a second, then said .”yes” and went on to tell me about all the dozens and dozens of times he’d done it. I told him to stop, that it was causing damage to his Aura, and that it may already be past repair. To me, it was like creating an extra bypass valve on your heart in order to get your blood from one side of your body to the other; both unneeded and dangerous.

You see, we can do all of this stuff naturally. This is what the deeper mysteries of yogic breathing and buddhism are all about. In fact, the body has built in fail-safes to keep you from causing damage or going past the areas where you aren’t ready to go. Using drugs bypass these fail-safes. That’s why people are attracted to them. That’s also why they are dangerous to your psychic and spiritual development.

And in the end, the drugs are not a shortcut to spiritual development. Quite the opposite actually. What happens when someone starts to lean on a substance to access the inner realms is that the substance becomes the goal or ‘god’ of the experience. And real spirituality is lost on the journey.

Money is a Spiritual Concept

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willing paid.”

Dog Totem

As many varieties of Dogs as there are, this is how many varieties of Totem energy the Dog can share with you. I will try to cover the basics, but Dog medicine has a very wide application, this is probably why so many people have dogs as pets. Dog also has a lot to do with creature comforts, which is also why they are so popular as pets in the Western world. With Dog totem you find the contrast between living with and by the wits vs. the lazy, easy domesticated life. Environment will do a great deal to influence this.

Dog totem isn’t exactly ‘one size fits all’ but close. Dog is a very all-around kind of totem to have, and your specific breed, coloring and temperament will give you a lot of detail about the wisdom your animal has to share with you.

Also, remember that some totems come and go in our lives, while others are permanent or lifelong. This brings me to one of the main qualities of Dog as a totem – loyalty. Dog medicine is loyal, it is unconditional and generally unfussy (but this can vary by breed). Dog is a pack animal and there is a distinction between the different roles that Dog can play within his natural tribe. If you live with a lot of dogs – like I do, 8 Tibetan Mastiffs – it is very different that living with just one. Living with a pack is all about society, managing many different agendas and keeping the crowd in check. When you live with a group of Dogs as a human, your ‘Alpha’ skills will be put to the test, since, with so many personalities to contend with, there is always someone who will find the cracks in your attention span and wiggle through! Totem Dog as pack is about finding and creating consensus, it is also about paying attention and managing the needs of a lot of beings.

The meaning of an individual Dog has a great deal to do with having a loyal, committed and devoted relationship. Dogs, and dog people are certainly devoted. Some can allow themselves to be misused because of this, but it is usually a choice. Dog will let you know if you’ve crossed the line, as all Dogs have a bark and the ability to make their displeasure known.

Dog totem medicine will be reflected in the type of breed that enters your life. A small hunting dog, like a Yorkie is very different than a Hound. Each category of dog medicine teaches something about the way in which that type of dog operates in the world. Hound for example may be teaching you a great deal about tracking things, remembering details and hanging in there until all the pieces fall into place and you are able to find what you are after. It’s a great totem for a detective.

Small hunting dogs like Yorkies and Terriers are all about focused determination and getting something accomplished no matter what obstacles come in the way. This is true also for the dachshounds, but being a hound there is more focus on the process than the goal.

Family style dogs like retrievers and labs are ‘fetchers’ and bring a sharp focus to the household on what is being ‘brought’ or bought. Often these dogs belong to people who are endless shoppers, after all, the focus is on getting things and bringing them home.

Mastiffs are hunters and more restrained than most other breeds. The medicine of the Mastiff teaches us how to go out and do what needs doing and ‘make the kill.’ Don’t let the sweet disposition of this type of dog fool you! Hunters hunt, and those with Mastiff totem must also hunt to survive. This dog will sharpen your survival skills and put you squarely in touch with your instincts. They can also teach dignity and confidence. After all, hunters don’t need to jump around for approval, they have all the skills they need to take care of themselves with our without you.

At the other extreme; the poodle is the only dog bred purely for fashion. As a totem though, Poodle is very useful in teaching us about human games, social graces and expectations. Poodle is probably the smartest of all the dog families and helps to teach those who have it as a totem how to properly use the mind, the intellect and mental faculties. Poodle with sharpen your wits, make you use them and teach you how to fight fairly.

Running dogs, like the whippet on the other hand, are very much about mental energy. As a totem this dog brings you into contact with a very high level of sensitivity, a finely tuned radar, intelligence and even psychic ability. But be aware that such a nervous type, needs soothing and comfort, which this dog totem teaches by virtue of making you aware of nerves and stress. This is a Dog that will teach you how to be calm! On the other hand, the runners are almost mystical in their ability to aid their owners on vision quests or other soaring flights of the spirit.

All dog medicine can, to some extent help you get in touch with your instinct, and also with the ability and need to quest for meaning and visions in your life. The Dog mind wants to do it’s own thing, and isn’t naturally inclined to obedience. Instead, Dog totem teaches about negotiating, training and gently guiding the self and others towards a desired goal or outcome. Of course this is a preference of training – but I never recommend being harsh or mean to an animal, it simply isn’t necessary and will create more problems in the long run.

In the end, the dog totem teaches us all about creating alignment, agreement and getting to a place of instinctual comfort and oneness with the self, the environment and the totem dog as well.

‘Leviticus’ and Dr. Laura

I am reposting an e-mail I just got. I don’t know where it was originally
posted, or I would give credit, but the author is credited at the bottom
of the page. I found this hilarious – I hope you do too.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant
Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus
18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following
response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which
was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the
homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus
18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements
of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend
of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you
clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do
I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have
a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does
my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.
19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of
two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to
curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the
trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16.
Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we
do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia
