This Blog as a Course - Lesson Six

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

This lesson gives an introduction to psychic development and related issues.

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Six – Basic Psychic Exercises

Now, the first and most important part of this is that developing these sorts of skills takes AT LEAST the same amount of time as other, more mundane skills – maybe more. Some people have suggested 10,000 hours of practise is required for such mastery of skills, so why not keep a track of how many total hours you have spent working at developing these skills? And if it is significantly less than 10,000 hours, don’t whinge! Have a look at this post first. 

Of course, sticking at things like this without emotional reactions is unlikely. In too many cases, I don’t think we allow ourselves the luxury of being sad or flat or bored or tired for a little while (if prolonged, you may need to look at matters more closely – and don’t hesitate to get help if it could be needed! Listen to your friends on this), so reread the key posts grouped under the following heading(s) in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Emotions

OK, so now, having got that out of the way, the posts to work through and conscientiously practice and apply until they are nearly as easy as breathing is for most (not all) people are:

·         my posts on protection here, here, and here, and also see here and here;

·         visualisation: here, here and here, and maybe read Shakti Gawain’s well regarded book “Creative Visualisation”;

·         grounding and shielding;

·         flaming;

·         breathing exercises;

·         colour.

Now, next, have a look at this post, and see if you can work out a way to use it to improve your practice. 

Finally, again, read the key posts grouped under the following heading(s) in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Psychic Attack,

·         Control,

and look at this and this.

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible.

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Five

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

The first such lesson started the process of getting to know oneself better, which is crucial for developing one's psychism, if one wishes to, as well as enabling more effective spirituality. This lesson continues that process, which was also developed in Lesson Two.

Here are the notes from my blogiography on this. Remember, you are a conscious mind, and unconscious, subconscious, and parallels.

This will, to some extent, be an ongoing process, as I find the analogy that we are a layered as an onion to be quite apt.

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Five – Psychic Health and Well being

Read, consider, meditate, think about, and conscientiously practice and apply this post. Then read the key posts grouped under the following heading(s) in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Psychic Attack,

·         Control.

Look at this.

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Four

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

Having started the all important - vital, even - process of getting to know oneself, this lesson now moves on to an INTRODUCTION to incredibly varied world of psychic sensing and psychic phenomena. I repeat: this is only an INTRODUCTION ...

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Four – Types of Psychic Sensing and Phenomena

For the time being, I am going to refer you to this post of mine, which is based largely on Wikipedia, which I have reservations about [2]. I am working on definitions to post at my Glossary, and will update this section when that has been done. (I have done a definition of ESP, which should be read.)

 

A key point here that many people do not seem to know of is the difference between objective and subjective (e.g., see here), which I discuss at the referenced post. 

There is a general conception of nonphysical senses as being higher octaves (in my words) of the physical senses - so clairvoyance, for instance, is seen as the nonphysical version of our physical sight. I consider this idea not too bad - especially if one accepts Brendan Myers’ idea of thinking as an organ of perception (which I do :) ), which makes intuition the nonphysical version of thinking … 

Also, read the following posts about Patron Deities, BPLF Guides and dreams: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. 

Next, read this post. 

This is just a basic introduction: there are many other forms of psychic phenomena and sensing.

The first such lesson started the process of getting to know oneself better, which is crucial for developing one's psychism, if one wishes to, as well as enabling more effective spirituality. This lesson continues that process, which was also developed in Lesson Two.

Lesson Three – Know Thyself

Read the key posts grouped under the following headings in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Emotions,

·         (negative psychic) Control,

·         Religion, Paths and Change, and

·         Balanced Positivity, Spiritual Maturity, Peace and Personal Conduct.

Then have a look at this post of mine, and try meditation or other personal growth work to develop an enhanced awareness of yourself (you will probably have to try a few techniques to find what works best for you … and be prepared for possible changes of what is working best for you), and start working out what you would like to change, why, and how. Look also at this.

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Two

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it. The first such lesson is aimed at improving the ability to think clearly. There are obvious advantages to this - not being taken for a ride by being too gullible,  being less likely to be brow beaten by sceptics, and becoming a more mature person - a spiritual adult.

There are also advantages in terms of starting to get to know oneself better, and being more alert and aware, which is crucial for developing one's psychism, if one wishes to, as well as enabling more effective spirituality.

This comes with a price, however: you may find yourself thinking so deeply that it is hard to e certain about anything any more.

Here are the notes from my blog on this. In this lesson, we start to apply the critical thinking skills learned in Lesson One to the concept of a Reality Map. The aim here is for you to convince yourself - dispassionately, calmly, objectively, and rationally - of the Nature of Reality - but not just your conscious mind, your other parts as well - unconscious, subconscious, and parallels. If you fail to do so, you will always have a part of yourself working against yourself, and will find the results of your efforts less succesful than they should be.

This will, to some extent, be an ongoing process, as I find the analogy that we are a layered as an onion to be quite apt.

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Two – The Nature of Reality

Keeping in mind my reality map, which may differ from your reality map, read:

·         the definition of this topic in my glossary - and the posts referenced there,

·         the posts grouped under the following heading in the “keynote posts” section of this post:
Reality including Karma, and then …

·         read Lyall Watson’s brilliant book “Supernature” (ISBN 0 340 40429 1, pub.: Sceptre, 1989 - first printing 1986; first pub. Hodder and Stoughton, 1973; first pub. in paperback Coronet, 1974),
check out Victor Zammit’s website (which I find a little … flamboyant), and
http://weilerpsiblog.wordpress.com/about/,
read (1) Richard Dawkins' book "The Selfish Gene", which I especially recommend before having children – more so if one is strongly driven to have children;
(2) Danny Vendramini’s “Them and Us” (pub. Kardoorair Press, Glebe, 2009, ISBN 9780908244775 ), to be read especially by all would be alpha males/queen bees, but I would also recommend this for teenagers, law makers/enforcers and parents; and
(3) maybe Desmond Morris’ book “The Naked Ape” pub. 1967, hardback: ISBN 0070431744; reprint: ISBN 0-385-33430-3),
and, finally …

This Blog as a Course - Lesson One

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it. The first such lesson is aimed at improving the ability to think clearly. There are obvious advantages to this - not being taken for a ride by being too gullible,  being less likely to be brow beaten by sceptics, and becoming a more mature person - a spiritual adult.

There are also advantages in terms of starting to get to know oneself better, and being more alert and aware, which is crucial for developing one's psychism, if one wishes to, as well as enabling more effective spirituality.

This comes with a price, however: you may find yourself thinking so deeply that it is hard to e certain about anything any more.

Here are the notes from my blog on this. The key is actually another source entirely, not my work at all.

Lesson One – Clear and Independent Thought

I have mentioned several times on this blog the importance of “keeping your thinking cap on”, which is a saying that basically means take personal responsibility for what you believe and think - don’t adopt something simply because someone you know or respect (e.g. parents, someone famous [which counts me out - phew!], or someone with experience) advocates for something. 

There are a couple of steps along the path to achieving this that I wish to mention in particular: firstly, clear thinking, and secondly, the adage “know thyself”. 

“Know thyself” will be addressed in a later “lesson”, but in terms of clear thinking, I recommend: getting the free on-line resource “Clear and Present Thinking”, by Brendan Myers, from http://www.brendanmyers.net/wickedrabbit/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:cpthinking&catid=19:aboutbooks&Itemid=8 (which I have mentioned previously, in Posts No. 523 and 486). 

As you work through Mr Myer’s excellent publication, keep in mind that my “reality map” is based largely on:

·         the concept of levels of existence, most of which are NOT physical,

·         the concept of spiritual evolution,

·         the observations of karma,

·         my observations of psychic effects,

·         my experience of receiving help from physical and non-physical sources; and

·         the concept - which I am working at developing - that I term “Balanced Positivity”.

That reality map is not inherently more correct, right or better than any other reality map, but it has worked phenomenally well for me. 

It is also important to keep in mind that my background is middle class, Western, and white (giving me loads of unearned privilege - although my reading, personal growth work [particularly in the 80s] and work travels have leavened my awareness), and trans* lesbian Pagan (giving me loads of unearned discrimination and an enhanced awareness of society’s underbelly). 

As you consider what it may be, what are the personal, cultural, etc background influences acting on your reality map?

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Thirteen

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

This lesson is the last, and emphasises again the need for a face to face teacher.

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Thirteen – Other Development and Finding a teacher

Read the key posts grouped under the following headings in the “keynote posts” section of this post, look also at this, this, this, this, this, this, and here, here, here, and work through as you are drawn to.

·         Regression-Rescue and Spirit Rescue,

·         Psychic Attack,

·         Reality including Karma,

·         Chakras,

·         Healing and Other techniques,

·         Religion, paths and Change,

·         Balanced Positivity, Spiritual Maturity, Peace and Personal Conduct.

Next, do an Internet search on the topic of finding a good teacher, one who is genuinely experienced, encourages and is OK with questions and independent thought, and is aware of and respects the need for safety, compliance with the law and not discriminating or taking advantage of people. Ignore any post that has the work ‘easy’ in the title. You may have to find a few people as sometimes, no matter how good the teacher is, they simply may not be compatible with your learning style.

Now, over to you …

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Twelve

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

This lesson marks the furthest I am prepared to go on this blog. To go further, you must find a teacher. If one isn't there, work on yourself and your karmic status so that you earn the right to have a teacher. YOU MUST USE THE PSYCHIC GOOD HEALTH TOOLS YOU HAVE PRACTISED PREVIOUSLY, AND SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS!

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Twelve – Mental Rescue of Cooperatives

Read the key posts grouped under the following headings in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Regression-Rescue and Spirit Rescue,

This Blog as a Course - Lesson Eleven

One of the things I present in my blogiography is a set of suggestions on how to approach this blog as a course - that is, how to work through this chaotic hodge podge of material in such a way that some organised benefit may come from it.

Another skill that is often important is being able to work with other people in a group situation. Now, this also has to be approached with considerable self care, patience, and preparedness to leave if things don't seem - or aren't - right. There is NO excuse for sexual assaults or any form of intimate contact that is not freely consensual. Having made that qualification, this can potentially be a way to grow faster, but it is also a topic in its own right.

Incidentally, each of these "lessons" may take many months to work through properly. They've not been done on the basis of doing these weekly or monthly.

Lesson Eleven – Group Work

Working with others can be vital in both personal development, and also achieving major tasks. Therefore have a look (and a think!) here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here (specifically, the group leadership bindrune), here, here, here, here (warning! The film reviewed in this post includes graphic and extreme violence, and may be a trigger), here, and re-read the key posts grouped under the following headings in the “keynote posts” section of this post.

·         Emotions,

·         (negative psychic) Control,

·         Balanced Positivity, Spiritual Maturity, Peace and Personal Conduct.
