I look
at the comparison between big or ‘little’ government, and argue that both miss
the point, and suggest that someone should try comparing private and public
attempts to meet society’s needs against the actual level of need.

A
response to the view that Christianity / neochristianity is more significant
than Paganism in promoting peace, and a little about a forthcoming (well, it was forthcoming at the time :) ) community
TV interview with myself about Paganism.

Differentiating
between what I term ‘astral cleaners’, and phages - which are like astral
parasites, stimulating people to produce some type of negative energy that they
can then feed upon.

I
found channelling this post extremely helpful for me, as it came during a time
when I was quite low and feeling that I was barely able to cope. Superficially,
it is about the strength that is need to be a Servant of the
Goddesses/Gods/Light; more particularly, it about the fact that responsibility
for some failures lies with those who created the (unfair)
obstacles that led to the failure.

Also,
a little about the purpose of life and spirituality, and some readings links,

Having
got tired of having to scramble around to find on-line definitions that I
considered acceptable (and Wikipedia is
no longer credible, in my view, for most of what I want - see here
[found via this Wild Hunt post]
for more, along with here
and my post "The
Death of Wikipedia"), so I’ve started my own on-line
glossary. It is not authoritative, it is purely for the context of the Musings of Gnwmythr blog and my
perspective.

Some
thoughts in preparation for the weekly Sunday meditation, including one on the
complexity of people.
A
story from this series, which has been written to illustrate some of what I am
writing about in fictional situations.
The
need for teamwork and professionalism when doing spirit rescue or any other
serious form of psychic work, and how that doesn’t happen in Hollywood’s
version of the Greater Reality … :)

The

How
would one follow The Morrigan in the modern world; those who abuse, harm or
kids can - obviously - never claim to love them; my plans for a tarot deck
based on the Valkyrie; female aggression; can humans trapped in a situation be
compared to animals trapped; a response to complaints about the modern crop of
whistleblowers and a whinge about the impact of games on searching for stuff on
the Internet.
