Pope Benedict Goes To France and Points out How Totally Behind the Curve He Is

"Has not our modern world created its own idols?" Benedict said in his homily, and wondered aloud whether people have "imitated, perhaps inadvertently, the pagans of antiquity?"

"This is a question that all people, if they are honest with themselves, cannot help but ask," the pontiff said.

No, Popey-baby, I’m afraid it wasn’t inadvertent at all and the fact that you would insult pagans this way kind of shows how horrifyingly out of the loop you are . . .

A night to remember

Occasionally I’ll get drunk as a way of kicking my psychic awareness to the next level, or making some huge adjustment that sobriety would prevent.  Alcohol makes one susceptitlbe to spirit influence.  If I wasn’t practicing positive spirit contact daily it might be dangerous but generally I know who’s around me before I go.  Now I’ve really done something enormous, taken a quantum leap in perception and separated out two strands of my consciousness I can barely understand.  Like most people I have a river of psychic information flooding through my mind at all times, and like most people lower energies in my aura have been “covering up” a lot of that information until now . . . but all my work is paying off and I am finally becoming able to separate the layers.  

It’s like I have been leaving three or four lifetimes I wasn’t aware of, or like taking an old photograph and separating the layers of color with photoshop or something.  Any conversation or interaction I’ve ever had I can “replay” from a different angle and see the auras involved, the energies and even get a hint of the higher spirits.  

It’s a trip, I’m telling you.

The Big Shadow

for most of my life I’ve felt a big shadow around myself and other people — it’s always been difficult to define what i felt was wrong with me, why i never felt comfortable just “being”, why i could never accept people or situations the way they were and had to always be looking for a deeper meaning.  

somehow my aura shifted and this darkness turned out to be some kind of force, a presence in my aura that i had to allow.  it was actually the wind in my sails, the force that was pushing me through life.  this shadow wasn’t really dark, it was a level of consciousness that i could not see, and so it only appeared dark because i couldn’t look at it.  i couldn’t look at it because i falsely believed there was something i needed to learn or do in this world; i had tremendous guilt that i wasn’t living enough, wasn’t fulfilling the purpose of my life.  maybe it was left over from my last lifetime.

it seems like i’m about to accept this difference.  i couldn’t do it before because i would have felt like a failure, i suppose, as though i was missing out on a normal life.  i never wanted to be weird.  i always wanted to understand everything so i could “get my life together” and be highly effective.  actually, i wanted to be a rock star, so i went out and acted like one not realizing that a rock star without millions of dollars to squander is pretty pathetic.  

i don’t actually know what’s happening but my long work at shamanism and channeling is paying off.  i’m getting stable with these perceptions and i don’t know what is happening but it feels like i’m about to have that dramatic change i’ve always wanted — the one where i finally figure out what’s going on.

What shall we ever do?

So the scenario is this: I have been compelled to see “The Dark Knight” 3 times this week. At first I thought I should avoid negative imagery because I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction, but then Amy Goodman got arrested, and the crew of the Permibus (see previous post) and I started school again and my first day of “Theories of Personality” we watched a film on the Milgram and Zimbardo experiments — those are the “social experiments” which showed ordinary people doing horrifying things under pressure — exactly the kind of experiment that is depicted in “The Dark Knight”. No coincidence then at the time I’m asking myself, “Should I participate in all this political upheaval? What does my conscience tell me to do? Should I support Amy, Starhawk, and the Permibussers? Should I go on with this blog and attract dangerous attention to myself? Possibly wind up like Harvey Dent?”

I don’t know.

I gave up my livejournals years ago, but now I realize there are a ton of really great causes that I could be promoting. Above is the link to the cause that inspired me. In case you haven’t heard, the Republican National Convention (a fairly useless media spectacle since everyone knows McCain is the candidate) has been going on in Minnesota this week and the police have been arresting a lot of peaceful protesters, just as they did in Philadelphia last time . . . Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! has been arrested (see video)


and so have these fine people.

Of course we should remember that police don’t have an easy time picking out the dangerous radicals from the peaceful ones at groups like this (and people who go to protests with the intent to commit violent acts are generally scum). but if you don’t know who amy goodman is, she’s one of the most experienced and professional political journalists in the country and it’s really doubtful that she gave anyone cause to arrest her. this is her show:
