Letters to the Estate regarding:


10/1/2000: Inquisition

...just a few minutes ago I finished reading the book The Dark Side of Christian History by Helen Ellerbe. Chapter 8 on the witch hunts was especially horrible to read. The following quote from that chapter may not be the most horrible one but it is certainly the most absurd:

"The ailing archbishop of St. Andrews called upon Alison Peirsoun of Byrehill and then, after she had successfully cured him, not only refused to pay her but had her arrested for witchcraft and burned to death."

Also:

"The Inquisition had left regions economically destitute. There were no more rich heretics (they had all been killed, or had fled to non-Christian countries). By adding witchcraft to the crimes it persecuted, however, the Inquisition explored a whole new group of people from whom to collect money. Of those formally persecuted for witchcraft, between 80 to 90 percent were women."

11/3/2000: Lunatic

I've just received the book Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling by Charles Godfrey Leland. Here is an interesting passage from it, from page 165:

"A lunatic is a man who dreams wide-awake. He has lost his will or the controlling power resulting from the just co-relation of brain forces. Then the stored up images stray out and blend. A fish and a watch and a man may seem to be the same thing at once in a dream, as they often are to the waking lunatic. A poet is a man who dreams wide-awake; but he can guide his dreams or imaginings to symmetrical form, and to a logical conclusion or coherence. With the painter and sculptor it is the same. When the alter-ego works harmoniously with the waking will, we call it imagination."

11/10/2000: Time

Three famous people who made me aware of time travel were Philip K. Dick, Colin Wilson, and Whitley Strieber. Not time travel by machine but by some mental process. There have of course been many other first person accounts by lesser known people in the history of occultism.
The stories of people traveling in time are increasing. Also new age people claim time is speeding up in preparation for extensive changes in the very nature of reality. Changes that are to occur on our planet Earth.
Even if none of this is happening, it is symptomatic of a change in the way people think. A quote from Time Wars subtitled The Primary Conflict in Human History by Jeremy Rifkin:

"Every religion holds forth the prospect of either defeating time, escaping time, reissuing time, or denying time all together."

11/17/2000: Witch Radar

According to what I have read, you know you are a witch because you can contact at will the supernatural force within you, control it, and use it to cause changes in reality. When you attain this level, other witches even hundreds of miles away become aware of you on their witch radar.
I see a correlation in the famous yogic saying "When the student is ready then the master will appear." Some yoga books and Sufi books write about masters being in contact with each other telepathically. Perhaps it is the same with real witches.

And perhaps the beginning witch, yogi, Sufi, etc., may be able to start to tap into some power and even sometimes have some degree of control and abilities, without yet raising enough power to appear on the witch or yogic radar of master level witches, yogis and Sufis. Perhaps each of these various types of adepts have their own frequencies. In other words witches, yogis, Sufis, each have their own circuits, a sort of telepathic phoneline. Maybe the leaders, the strongest of the adepts, are physically aware of each other. I wonder if they ever have psychic turf wars! I wonder if these various type of adepts cooperate, or are they at war with each other? I would like feedback from others who have knowledge of witch radar, their telepathic networks, and how they raise the supernatural power and use it.

I know that witches like yogis and Sufis have secret power they are not permitted to share with the general public. But perhaps one or more may be willing to share this knowledge with us. To me this is partly what the new age is about -- the ending of all secrets!

12/27/2000: Rolling Thunder Speaks

Because our government interfered with American Indians speaking their own language and practicing their own religion up until just about 25 years ago, very few of us non-native Americans had any clear idea what their beliefs were. But now at last very strange and provocative information is leaking out to the general public, or at least to that segment of the general public that is trying to keep up on this subject.

Some native American tribes believe they originally came to earth from another star and some believe they are descended from the ancient beings of Atlantis. At first I was suspicious of such information because it was written about in half-baked-type New Age books. But then as I read books by actual Native American authors such as Rolling Thunder, I saw this information confirmed. Here is an example from his book Rolling Thunder Speaks:

"Some people ask me about where the Cherokee tribe came from. Some originated on this land, others from Atlantis, and before that we came from the Pleiades seven stars system. The seven-pointed star I wear represents the star we came from, and is the emblem of the Cherokee nation. Machines without wings brought our ancestors to Atlantis over ten thousand years ago. Even now some of our medicine men and psychics have very close contact with space beings from other worlds. Ancient people could out-think modern man by ten to one. They had greater technology than anything we have today in this society."

5/6/2001: Love

Loving others is a preparation for the infinite love that includes all others. But many lovers fall into the cult of two. They become a cult of two. Nothing much in the world has importance for them except each other, and if one of them dies, the one left behind feels their life has no meaning. Or if they are separated or the relationship ends then they feel life has lost all meaning. Love is infinite and love is eternal.

5/23/2001: Transcending the Senses

Some of those cosmic Hindus I have studied put a lot of emphasis on God as sound (Pranava). The OM (or AUM) mantra comes closest to the sound of God, or so they claim.
I have developed my own ideas about all of this. Our senses have a quite limited range, but through chanting or even just listening to music with great concentration, we can transcend our senses into a realm beyond the senses.

Some shaman work with a drum and some Hindu mystics work with a stringed instrument that has only one string. Of course you can't play a tune with only one string, they use it to keep one tone going that they can concentrate on. I use a Tibetan singing bowl.
Try to feel that the music you are listening to goes deep inside you but on a subtle level, beyond your body – a realm of you as pure vibratory frequencies.
