Why not manifest a few million dollars in the bank?

About manifesting your dreams and wishes.

One day on YouTube a found a picture of a guy with a missing front tooth and I got curious because I thought: "What kind of crazy guy is this?" so I listened to him and found that he was not at all crazy. On the contrary, he was quite sympathetic and had interesting thoughts about what he calls "The Spiritual Marketplace" where spiritual, psychic and magical abilities are being sold and promised.

I know what he talks about (just have a look at Facebook! People are sick, having anxiety, panic, depression, stomach pain, headache etc. and they tell each other that all this suffering is caused by the Ascension, which they are all part of (because of their high spiritual standard.) Any pain means that they are the selected ones who are on the path to a higher level and what creates the stomach ache is just the inability to resonate to this higher frequency. There is an admin who tells them that it depends on their karma from previous life. ”And tomorrow I will send out healing. You can sign up here.” There can be a thread of 80 comments where people tell each other in which way they were depressed today or this week.....and they are happy to have found a spiritual group that gives them a good divine explaination about it.

Ok If you are seriously hurt it can be a good thing to learn to be "happy anyway" and "There is a higher meaning with it" and "It is of importance for your spiritual development" and so on. But should this thinking always be applied to any little malfunction in a way that it stops you from correcting it in a natural way?

Wouldn´t it be better to do something about it??? 

I get the impression that this idea stops them from being interested in finding out the real cause of the pain, which can be many things: radiation, stress, malnutrition, toxins, etc. and it could be important to fix it before it leads to a more serious sickness.

So there are various trends in the market.

One is: You don´t have to correct your sickness, your imbalance or your pain. Just be spiritually happy about your ascension to a higher level. You are blessed!

Another is this one:

You have hidden superpowers 

and if you just develop them 

you can manifest whatever you want. 

This "Warrior" says that he has got some powers but also the insight that all those powers are not worth much to him so now he has left all those cults and promises and he walks around in the forest telling everyone that he has discovered the bliss of being detached from illusion and in this way he now experiences a new happiness from Truth which is to just "experience reality as it is".

One guy has put a question here, and I started to answer it when it occurred to me that this question was not for me to answer because it had been addressed to the owner of that channel. When I start writing something I usually write quite a lot and I don´t want to give the impression that I am "taking over" his channel with all my writings.

So I will copy that text and put it here on my own page (where I can write as much as I want to!):

The question is this:

”Why not manifest a nice house or a fancy car or a few million dollars in the bank so you don't have to work anymore, or something cool?” 

I was looking at that question and I got a feeling of this being "the wrong question" in some way that I at first did not understand. But I started to write down that feeling and then the next sentence came to my mind and I wrote it down and then it continued.

There is some kind of misunderstanding here, but it is difficult to explain. Maybe: if you get greedy you will lose your powers. Or something else will happen: if you get that car maybe you will lose something else as a ”pay-off”. Maybe you crash.

If he gets a new ”weekly job” he does not violate the balance that he already has.

If you wish for a car you will get one that is in balance with your being. It might just be an old car because you need it. (If you already are a billionaire you will get a new car because you are already in symbiosis with new cars.) The shaman in the jungle will not get a new car, no matter how much he tries.

What you manifest has to be part of your ”spiritual reality”. It can take a long time to work on your ”spiritual reality” to make it into cohesion with big houses and fancy cars.

OK It can happen that a poor person wins 10 million, but you cannot just decide to manifest that.

And besides... what would the purpose be of having a fancy car? 

If you use magic powers to force reality to give you more than you ”are balanced to have” it is called black magic. And you will have to start paying for it to fix the balance, or be forced to continue to be on the black road”. It would be like continuing to borrow money to be able to pay a loan.

Here we have the same duality again:

1. Be happy with how you are! You don´t need to change your life.

2. Use your inherent magical abilities to change your life!

I think it is good to be content, grateful and happy for what you have (it could have been worse!) This will make you more open to "higher abilities", but it doesn´t mean that you should stop doing things. You can still repair your car, repair your house and do everything that improves it. If you really make a full effort in doing what you can you will attract help from the spirit world. Your roof leaks in water and needs a repair that you cannot afford. If this is a serious problem and you focus much on it some kind of miracle can pop up and help you.

It is possible that this happens more easily if you have activated your kundalini energy (as Warrior says). It is also possible that "full energy and focus" on something will make the kundalini alert in some way even if you do not normally call it "awakened". Talking loud to the spirits (to kundalini, to a tree, to a person or whatever) releases this energy and it can travel away and search for help. This is an explanation that belongs to mythology and what happens in reality I don´t know, because it happens on another level of our reality, and it is probably some kind of electromagnetic signals that belong to another dimension. Many people who are clairvoyant can see those threads being formed by our actions and thoughts. This is said to be material in another dimension. So your being is not made up only from your physical body.

So if you have not been building up a relation to "fancy cars" you can probably not just "manifest a fancy car". You cannot decide to get anything in that way, because a mental decision is not part of your magical self.

You will understand what I mean if I say that you can try to manifest a jet plane and you will see that it will not work. Because it is "outside of your world" (if you are not a billionaire with a lot of friends who own jet planes).

And if you just "try to manifest" because you will see what happens, it will probably not work. Because you do not seriously, deeply mean what you say.

On the other way, it does not mean that every person gets answers to their wishes only because they are serious. Maybe you will first have had to build up a stronger kundalini and a relation to a god or spirit or "inner power" or whatever you want to call it. And that can take time.

Hur lär jag mig mer om astrologi?

Hur ska man göra om man får för sig att man vill lära sig mer om astrologi? Om man redan kan en hel del så vet man nog hur man ska göra för att utveckla den kunskapen, men för den som är nybörjare och inte vet något alls har jag några tips här.

Om man börjar med att ”gå på djupet för att förstå grunderna” genom att studera hur hur jordens lutning påverkar en massa vinklar så finns det en stor chans att man ger upp ganska snabbt för att det blir för tråkigt och krångligt.

Det är bättre att börja med det som är det allra enklaste och då gärna den egna kartan, alltså det egna horoskopet. Det gör att man har en personlig relation till det man studerar så att man mer kan känna ett levande intresse för ämnet.

Numera är det lätt att skaffa denna egna karta eftersom det finns dataprogram som fixar den saken. Det tar nog inte mer än en halvtimme att träna in hur man, steg för steg, klickar sig fram till att få en bild av hur ens horoskop ser ut.

För att förenkla det så har jag gjort två små filmer där det syns hur man gör. Nu får man tänka på att ett program kan uppdateras så att det ser en aning annorlunda ut, men metoden är ändå densamma. Exempelvis så har just nu blåa fält i det programmet bytt färg till grått. 

Jag tänker på www.astro.com som är ett enkelt program där man sedan också kan få sitt horoskop tolkat, både grundhoroskopet och dagens transiter (ja, annat också).

Det är naturligtvis bra att ”kunna grunderna ordentligt” men det går kanske inte så bra att börja med dem om man ska kunna hålla intresset uppe.

Man kan jämföra med nybörjarlektioner i ryska. Det är alfabetet och sedan enkla texter i stil med ”Vad heter du” och ”Vad är klockan?” och ”Anna är hemma”, dvs det är enkla vardagsfraser, som alla kan relatera till och känna sig hemma med. Man får också en viss självkänsla av att upptäcka att man nu kan använda dessa fraser i verkligheten.

Även här ska man kunna grunderna, men om man för en nybörjare startar med dessa grunder, dvs verbens och substantivens alla böjningsformer, så kommer troligen 95% av eleverna att försvinna ganska snabbt. Att börja med ryska språkets historia och utveckling går heller inte så bra, därför att det är rätt så tråkigt att läsa om ett språks utveckling om man inte kan förstå orden. 

Man vill gärna ha en annan typ av ”grund”, dvs något enkelt och roligt, som gör att sinnet vänjer sig vid det nya, främmande sättet att tänka utan att det uppstår ett motstånd. Det finns till och med lärare i ryska som efter en lång tid inte ens har talat om för eleverna att det finns böjningsformer och vad dessa innebär.
Det blir i all oändlighet bara en massa fraser (som man egentligen inte begriper) så på en viss nivå så måste man göra bekantskap med grammatiken också på ett mer ingående sätt (inte bara ”jag är, du är...” osv) och det är då man börjar kunna göra egna meningar i stället för att bara mekaniskt upprepa vad andra sagt.
Men... detta mekaniska upprepande är ändå det som man måste börja med!!! Man kan inte börja med grundreglerna för meningsbyggnad. För mig är detsamma även med andra ämnen. Jag måste börja med något, som är enkelt och intressant och som på ett någorlunda personligt sätt kan fånga mitt intresse och hålla det vid liv.

En gång på det tidiga 70-talet gick jag till en astrologikurs, men på den första lektionen, när läraren Arne Örngren ritade upp en massa vinklar och började prata om ”himmelsekliptikans lutning mot ekvatorialplanet” så gav jag upp direkt och slutade på kursen. Jag förstod ju inte ens de ord han använde! Jag hade aldrig ens hört talas om någon himmelsekliptika.

Sedan hade jag en kompis, som kallade sig för Abraxas, som inte riktigt visste vad han ville göra här i livet, men efter ett tag så fick han kontakt med astrologin, lärde sig rekordsnabbt på egen hand och blev snabbt kändisastrolog (med artiklar om sig i de stora dagstidningarna) och nu hette han Gabriel Masell. Han var en rätt så vild figur och han hade ingen lust att själv sitta och räkna ut sina horoskop så det fick jag göra åt honom. Han brydde sig inte om att prata om några grunder, han bara sade ”Gör så och så och så...!” och det tog väl inte mer än en halvtimme att lära sig detta. På den tiden var man tvungen att använda logaritmtabeller när man räknade så det var rätt så petigt.

Detta gjorde ju att jag nu kunde rita upp alla kompisars kartor och vi kunde jämföra och prata om det och på så sätt blev det ett helt naturligt inslag i verkligheten. Det ledde naturligtvis till att om jag ”kände mig på ett visst sätt” en längre tid så kunde jag gå till tabellerna (i ephemeriden) och kolla vad jag hade för transiter. Detta var ett mycket roligare, enklare och intressantare sätt att lära sig på. 

Det skulle kunna liknas vid att man lär sig de 50 viktigaste fraserna i det ryska språket och så åker man till Moskva och använder dem. Om det går bra så blir man motiverad till att lära sig mer och senare kanske till och med substantivens alla böjningsformer, som i astrologin skulle kunna motsvara att man förstår hur alla planeternas rörelserna fungerar och hur de olika planeternas elektromagnetiska fält samverkar med jordens och därmed även med våra egna. 

Vill man sedan kunna grunderna ordentligt så kan man läsa mer om hur auran och hjärnan fungerar med olika em-fält och frekvenser. Den, som är mer intresserad i esoterik och frekvenser kanske vill börja här, men om man ska gå djupare in på det så kan det bli för krångligt för en nybörjare, som helt enkelt bara ville ”lära sig litet mer om astrologi” för att kunna kolla sina egna aspekter (i stället för att kanske betala 800:- till en astrolog som berättar det, som man lika gärna själv kan hitta i ett dataprogram).

Nästa steg är naturligtvis att läsa om vad som menas med de olika ”planeterna” och då kan man börja med att lära sig deras namn utantill, i vilken ordning de kommer, ungefär hur fort de går och vad de har för energi.
Det ordet ”energi” som vi kan använda i dag på det sättet, skulle kanske bättre kunna kallas frekvensmönster. Hippies på 70-talet sade vibrationer och tidigare så kallade man dem gudar eller andar. Så läs gärna om planeternas energier i gudasagor och lev dig in i vad dessa gudar har för karaktärer.

Gudasagor är också berättelser om våra egna egenskaper. Det var den tidens psykologiundervisning i form av intresseväckande sagor med liknelser och arketyper. Så när du läser om Mars, försök då att känna igen vad det är som just du triggas igång av. Vad blir du arg av? Vad är det som ger dig energi och manar till handling? Gör sedan likadant med de andra planeterna, men tag en i taget så att du verkligen hinner känna ordentligt hur det känns och var i kroppen som känslan / energin upplevs.

Strunta i de artiklar där någon har bytt ut alla gudarna och satt in andra i stället. De ursprungliga gudarna, Mars, Venus, Jupiter osv är de gudar som redan är förknippade med astrologin så det finns ingen anledning att byta ut dem mot andra. Det finns en mening med att gammal mytologi är som den är.

Nästa steg är att fundera mer över hur de olika planeterna verkar i de olika husen och tecknen. Vad händer när gudarna träffar varandra på olika sätt på olika ställen? Vad händer när gudarna har olika intressen? Det blir ett system som skulle kunna jämföras med en grammatik.

"Planeterna kan i horoskopet sägas representera krafter, energier, eller sidor av en persons inre. Vi består alla av dessa olika krafter. Hur de är beskaffade, var de verkar och hur de fungerar med varandra - det är olika för oss alla."

Fjärde huset

Mona tyckte att jag skulle kommentera något på Astrologisidan i Facebook igår, men jag sade till henne att jag hade fått städnoja så att jag inte kunde tänka på något annat än att städa.

Jag tror att det har hållit på i några veckor nu (minns inte när jag startade). Jag går lös på alla mina lådor med gamla grejer, kläder, papper, konstnärsmaterial...allt. River fram, sorterar, sätter siffror på kartonger, kastar.... Jag har fått en ny syn på alla högar med gamla grejer.
Jag har naturligtvis tänkt att en sådan impuls borde synas i horoskopet, men jag har inte brytt mig om att kolla.
Men nu gjorde jag det.
Gjorde den karta som Astro.com kallar för Personal Daily Horoscope (det är de transiter man har).

Mars

Det allra första som står är detta:
Domestic strife
Valid during many months: This influence is a sign of great activity where you live. Positive activity might be working hard around your home and getting a great deal accomplished. You are very strong on having your surroundings exactly the way you want.
Det är Mars som transiterar mitt 4:e hus.

Saturnus

Saturnus och Pluto transiterar också 4:e huset, men det har de inte sagt något om.
Så jag tittar i min bok i stället. Först på Saturnus:
At this time you will focus on your innermost personal and domestic life, for this is the area that requires work now.
Hus 4 liknas vid det undermedvetna så städning i hemmet motsvarar en slags psykoterapi. Jo, det har jag tänkt på, att gamla, dammiga grejer kan kännas som inre blockeringar. Jag funderade på det i morse.

Pluto

Nu ska jag kolla på Pluto:
... changes within the house, such as extensive repair or remodeling... och så läggs tonvikten vid att minnen från barndomen kan komma fram i ljuset.
Your inner psyche, your home, your family and the other most personal areas of your life will be affected.
Ja, även sådana gamla foton kommer ju fram i ljuset nu när jag gräver bland gamla papper. Hittar mina gamla betyg, dopbok, gamla brev.... och några kilo papper hamnar i pappersinsamlingens stora, blå låda där ute på gården.
Det kan också handla om flyttning (alltså alla typer av förändringar som har att göra med hemmet). Jodå, tjejen som bor under mig ska flytta och i går ställde hennes pappa ett jättestort släp här utanför dörren.

It´s now or never.... nu ska det bli ordning här! Hoppas, hoppas de nya grannarna blir trevliga.

Talking Stick

Den är inte häftad, som det står på ett ställe. Alltså inte ihophäftad med häftapparat.
Den är "mjukband", dvs limmad med "bred" rygg.
Den är skriven på svenska (inte på engelska, som det står på ett förlags annons) eftersom man brukar använda det engelska ordet även i Sverige.

En Talking Stick är ett vackert dekorerat föremål som hos indianerna länge använts för att lösa kommunikationsproblem och hålla ordning på olika sorters samtal på ett sådant sätt att var och en ges möjlighet att ostörd kunna säga sin djupare mening och bli förstådd av de andra.

Denna kraftfulla, mentala healingmetod kan på ett relativt enkelt sätt lösa både gamla blockeringar och nyss uppkomna konflikter och förvandla våra samtal till kreativa äventyr där vi lär oss mer om hur vi fungerar mentalt och känslomässigt. Metoden ger oss möjlighet att avhandla "heta" ämnen utan att bli sårade och arga av att vi har olika åsikter. Detta kan snabbt revolutionera kommunikationen både mellan enstaka personer och i grupper. Ilska och sårade känslor transformeras till befriande dialoger som löser spänningar och emotionella blockeringar, vilket minskar den dagliga stressen och frigör energi.

En Talking Stick fungerar också som en bra ingång till den andliga utvecklingsväg som kan kallas "hjärtats väg" och därför har några kapitel ägnats åt hjärtats roll i vårt tanke- och känsloliv. Metoden innebär initialt att man förfinar sin känsla för vad som är sant och vad som inte är sant, både när det gäller omvärlden och egen introspektion. Man blir medveten om vad det verkligen är som man själv uppfattar, tänker och känner. Det inre fönstret blir större och man ser mer och mer i ett nytt ljus, vilket kan sägas vara den kunskapsväg som just nu ligger i tiden och som innebär ett gradvis uppvaknande som är gränsöverskridande och frigör oss från gamla, fastlåsta dogmer och trångsynta koncept. Här finns beskrivning av hur man tillverkar och använder en Talking Stick, tillsammans med en enkel introduktion till några viktiga begrepp inom religion, esoterik, magi och shamanism och då speciellt till dem som kan sättas i samband med kommunikation, som ex. medvetande, minne och olika sorters känslor, och med symbolspråket i ceremonier.

Här finns också en liten bit nutidshistoria, en tillbakablick på hur intresset för shamanism och speciellt indiansk filosofi började spridas i vidare kretsar i Sverige på 80-talet, en ny trend som främst initierades av Rolling Thunder och Lightning Strikes, dvs Harley Swiftdeer. Många tankegångar i boken har utvecklats ur basbegrepp, som Swiftdeer presenterade för oss, och kan därför vara till nytta för den, som funderar över själva grunderna till shamanism och ceremonier.

The heart of the shaman

                                                             Svensk text med ungefär samma innehåll

The basic in shamanism is not just to ”do healing”. There are so many kinds of healers and just listening to a person can be an act of healing, so... People can work with singing, dancing, herbs, acupuncture, crystals, and therapy without being called shamans.

Shaman is the Tungusian word för ”the knower”, the wise person, who is using the drum to get into ecstasy or trance to transcend the border between the physical world and the ”quantum world” , the fifth dimension, the upper world, or lower world or whatever we prefer to call it.

The word ”shaman” has now become a word that indicates any kind of medicine man or active transcendentalist in any kind of “natural tribe”, but among those people there are not only healers. There are also all kinds of sorcerers.

Under the wings of the New Age movement, we have a new kind of career, which is a person who wants to make a profession from being a healer or a wise and divine sort of “angelic person”, which is maybe not too difficult as he/she does not necessarily have to make any healing on anyone. It is enough to give workshops about it and sell ”programmed crystals” on a webshop or just ”send healing at eight o´clock” via Internet, so people cannot really see if the healing works or not.
Actually... whatever you say to people it has an effect.

In the old days the shaman was known by all the people in the tribe so they could know if he was clever or not.

If you want to sell your “product of wisdom” it is an effective trick to make a photo of yourself standing in nature, holding a shaman drum and a drum stick, to show that you really are that kind of wise person ”who knows”, preferably with a feather in the hair and why not also a smudge bowl by your side? Together with some words about your totem animal and the tree spirits. (Not strange that the Red Indians can be angry with the White Man).

Advertising always works with symbols in this way, and usually also with very old symbols of wisdom and magic, that are placed into a new context (of money-making). The symbols are carriers of old messages, that are being picked up by our subconscious mind so we get influenced by them without thinking about it. Almost all big companies use this method.

Just hold a drum and some people will say: ”He is a shaman, I can see that because they are the ones who have drums.”
The farther away we are from something the less we can see what it is and in our society, we cannot take a close look at such a person because it costs a lot of money to do it.

So if you hold a drum and tell people that you have ”studied shamanism” and ”talk with the spirits in the drum sessions” you present a powerful symbol and nobody knows how to check your statement.

The same goes for the ”psychic medium”, who stands on the stage telling the audience that ”grandmother is coming here and she says that someone has forgotten to post a letter”.
Nobody can check the validity of everything this person sees and says, but it doesn't seem to matter too much as the audience usually forms a ”group spirit” that all the participants want to be part of to experience the cozy feeling of ”we are all one and we are the "spiritual seekers who know that there are ghosts around”.

If you can create a group spirit you can hold the audience in your grip. Every good artist does and it is, of course, an ”act of power”, which can be used for almost anything, good or bad, right or wrong. High energy does not necessarily mean ”good” - it just means ”high energy”.
A group spirit is formed by high, focused energy and not by morals.

So watch out for being too much dragged into high energies that are created by other people. You can get dependent on it like on a drug. But that does not necessarily mean that it is bad – maybe it is your karma to remain in this group for the rest of your life and find a new lifestyle. Or it is a course that you will attend to for some years. Maybe it will make you stop smoking or drinking? Or just get a new and interesting experience?

If the course is a good one it will teach you methods to find your own Higher Self, your inner true being.

If it is something, that we could call ”black magic”, it will hold you in e firm grip where you will have to get all information from the leader, who has in this way created a ”bigger body” for himself. Just like a big company and it´s workers. You will get more mind-controlled than wise, but at the same time, it is attractive – who doesn't want a new, wise, and protective father to hang on to?

In various religious traditions, they have known that this situation creates a big temptation for the center person and he can be tempted to misuse it. So they, the spiritual teachers, the monks, had to live without money and without a lot of personal belongings and they also had to undergo a kind of moral education.

But today it is not possible to live in that way as everybody has to earn money. We can almost say that it is forbidden not to earn money, and that goes for the spiritual teachers as well.

Guru means “elder” and also the Red Indians respected The Elders, and to have old people as teachers might be a very good idea as they are no longer filled up with the urge to make money. They are also not afraid of losing the job, so they can finally speak up and say what they want.
There are now some white elders, who travel around the world to give lectures about that kind of truths that younger people do not dare to talk about. One example is Barrie Trower. He does not talk about shamanism or religion, but he talks about the reality that we live in right now, the vibrational reality,  which is what a real shaman would also do and always did.
What kind of spirit is leading our society? On the road to what?

So, when it is about younger people, a spiritual teacher, a healer, a shaman is also a money-maker and when you look at his advertising you cannot know if this is ”a genuine, good teacher/healer who has to make money also” or if it is ”a money-maker who is just using shamanic symbols”. Both exist.

It is not that every good healer is holding up a drum against a waterfall or a sunset.

It is not that every honest person with a shaman-drum in his hand is a real healer or “psychic”, he might just be giving his fantasies an over-dimensioned “divine importance”.

A person does not necessarily have to be a fake just because he is holding a drum against the sunset.
We don´t know.

In India, we have the name Viveka (as for example in Vivekananda) which refers to the ability to be able to distinguish (between right and wrong, light and dark, true or false, high and low, etc.)
which indicates that it is not so easy to do so.

A shaman has to be a person who can recognize and distinguish between different spirits (powers, energies) because how else would he be capable of dealing with them? It is not just to beat the drum and ask a spirit about everything. If you don´t know the difference between various spirits (and fantasies and memories) you don´t know whom you ask and the answer can be just a good fantasy, a normal thought in the form of a picture, a fear, a wish or just a crazy illusion. Even if you see it in the form of a fairy-tale figure.
But, you can always tell people that you know the difference! Who can check that? If maybe you cannot even check it yourself?

It is perfect if it is a part of your own inner journey towards finding yourself – because then any kind of inner vision can tell you something about yourself, even if it is just fragments of a forgotten, traumatic memory – but it is not something that you should sell to other people.

This inner way is your own, personal, unique way, which follows universal laws but has it´s own content.
Compare with a film studio. The cameras have to function in a certain way, but the film can be anything from wise teaching to a horror movie or a comedy.
Even if a person has a good camera in the head it does not mean that the movie is good.
Even if I have a sharp vision it does not mean that I look in the right direction.

Think of the artist (painter) who trows his traumatic feelings on to the canvas to get rid of these upcoming emotions. Yes, he gets rid of them but they go to the people who buy or look at the paintings, so it could be called black magic in a double sense.
The artist should take such a painting out in nature and make a ceremonial fire out of it. Not sell it.

Have you ever wondered why so many paintings are ugly and express disharmony?
The PR people like that, because then they get the audience by using their own PR-pictures, which are usually beautiful, very well done and attractive.

The heart is a powerful electromagnetic field generator, that sends signals to the brain and the whole body and it also receives information from the outer world as it can sense and react to the electromagnetic fluctuations that we have around us.
If I can carefully investigate my own feelings (how, when, and where are they?)
I can learn to understand the language of the heart which is electromagnetic. The chemicals also go along with that.

The heart tells you what to embrace and what to get away from. It can tell you the truth about everything that you come into contact with. You can love everything in a higher sense of the word, but do not open up to just anything, do not blindly embrace everything, and do not support just anything. 

We usually do not keep the front door unlocked during the night, "just because we love everybody". Why not?

Everything is not good for you to swallow. If the heart says “stop” it does not necessarily mean that there is “a fear that you have to get over”.

Fear and a “true stop” do not produce exactly the same sensation. But it requires training to notice the difference.

But the heart/brain can also be programmed to react in a certain way to a certain symbol. In all the old temples and monasteries they went through a long training to handle their symbols. Also, the shaman has his world of symbols. So do we – just look at your little, electric screen!
Here you also have a program that stops invisible intruders.

Think about the old tale about the Trojan Horse. The idea is not new and it can be an illustration also to a trick of magic. Dion Fortune writes that no trick can “take you” if you do not open up for it (Psychic Self Defence).
Advertising is using positive, attractive symbols to open up our hearts and trick us into buying everything.

A good way of training to feel and recognize these influences is to learn astrology. It is not so difficult to get the chart made by a computer program and then you can just train on reading the ”transits” and check how they correspond to reality. The best is to check them when a major feeling stays for a longer period or is unusually strong. You can also check up events in the past if you have the ephemeride for that year.

You need the chart, an ephemeride and a book about transits.

Ephemeride

Planets in Transit

Before you can handle it you must know about the symbols and meanings of the signs, planets and houses. Otherwise, you cannot read the chart, the ephemeride or the book.

Planets

Signs

The first house corresponds to the first sign and so on.

If you say that you are a Gemini, it means that you have Sun in Gemini and that is what you should look for. That is not about the transits - it is about the basic character.
Kapiel Raaj describes the sun signs.  And here is Gemini.

It is about the cosmic dance in your heart.

Neptune & Confusion

Neptune should be in the see 

and not here on the hard road.

Neptune is good for making up beautiful fantasies and for “being in another space” so it is good for meditation, music and poetry, but not for being clear about it on the normal intellectual road.

Mars is the spark that initiates anything that it comes into contact with.

Square is an aspect (90 degrees between two planets) that can be called “hard” as it can create (or show) that there are two energies, that are not so compatible with each other so they can clash or one gets activated in the “wrong way” by the other, or stopped or gets into trouble.

What happened when they came together?

I quickly looked at some pictures that NW had put out on Facebook. It was some horror pictures (from movies) and he had written “Do not look att these pictures if you do not have a strong stomach.”
I was too quick, so I did not see that there were more pictures ( if there were….I looked for something to click on but I didn't find it).
Anyway, a thought came to my mind and I wrote a quick comment about horror pictures (= in general) saying that it is not good to fill your mind with such pictures, because they can “come up later” and cause trouble, especially if you get kundalini arousal.”

NW wrote back: 

I did not quite understand what you were saying, but I am curious so could you say a little more.

I responded: Oh.... isn't it obvious??? Exactly WHY is it not obvious? I can answer, but I will have to understand why it is not obvious.

 But Viveca, I cannot understand what you are trying to say?

Now I remembered that Mars could be close to a square with my Neptune. So I thought that there was probably something that had to do with that. There was something we had missed, but what?
I thought that everybody must understand that it is not good to fill the brain with horror movies. How come that he did not understand that? It could not be true.

OK  And I cannot understand why it is not obvious. So I do not know what to explain.
Hmmmm....problem....but I want to answer.
Can you give a hint? If I just understand where the knot is... I was just trying to say what I said.
Right now Mars is in a square to my Neptune, which means that misunderstandings easily can arise.

Ok...What I could not follow well is not that what you have stored in your subconscious mind that can affect your thinking...I could not understand your point about kundalini energy involved...

I deleted that post...because I was not sure that others seeing it, not living in America as a person of color, could be so frightened by a cartoon that imitated the devilish behavior of European Americans.

I could not, and still do not, understand how what you wrote was connected to some of the real fear of persecuted people across the Americas.
I will travel there in a few days...and many are very upset by police policy to shoot African people on the streets there...it is almost a will wild west atmosphere.

 Aha...then I understand. At the moment I am on a telephone with the Internet Company because of another misunderstanding that I do not understand.
Write to you later.

ok...hugs Vive!

Police in the streets ? Cartoons? I did not know what he was talking about!

When he started to write I had just opened a letter from Telia (the Internet Company), which said that they were going to cut off my Internet connection on November 24, because of a bill that I had not payed.

So now I was not only writing to NW about something that I did not understand what it was about, but I also had the same thing with Telia.

She said that it was about a bill, which I knew that I had already talked with them about.

I have an automatic transfer of money to them and when they had made the installations of fiber net in this house I had called them and I had changed my subscription to fiber from wireless. But they did not tell me that some figures with the bank also had to be changed.
I had then got a letter that said that something was not paid and I had called them and the guy had said that he should “take it away as it was a mistake”. OK! Then I had not thought more about that.

Now I got a new letter about the same bill (a very small amount of money), which had never been canceled as the guy had said it would be.
The letter said that my Internet would be cut off in a month, on November 24, but now the lady said that it was already cut off. 
I said: No, I am not! I am using it at the moment!

She said that according to her computer I was already cut off.

Now she canceled this little sum, that had been produced by the changing of the subscriptions (which they had in the beginning not even told me when I talked with them.)

When I had fixed the problem with Telia I told NW that I didn´t know anything about the situation he had talked about.

Fantastic how two big misunderstandings can sail up exactly at the same time from “almost nothing”. Now I got curious!

As these two misunderstandings were on the stage simultaneously I wanted to check the precise place of Mars. So I made a chart for the minute that could be right (I was guessing, of course, because it could have been 20 minutes earlier or later).

And what? 

Yes!
Mars was only 4 minutes of arc from being in the exact square to my Neptune. 
The circle is divided in 360 degrees and each degree is divided in 60 minutes of arc.

When Neptune had passed the critical point Telia had deleted the bill and NW had deleted his fb-post.
