Do Gods Die? Someone must have hit a tree or power pole. It's raining outside this morning and the power went off. My 11 year old sort of freaked out a little because she couldn't go online on her computer and watch Japanese anime's with English subtitles on youtube.com or play xbox 360 DOA so she she went to her room and got a battery powered lantern. I said, "We don't need that. Let's just open all the shutters and skylights. So we did that. Then since it is in the 50's out I said, "Let's build a fire in the fireplace." We would stay warm that way. After we got some wood for the fireplace from the woodshed she still hadn't adjusted to no electricity. It didn't affect me that way as I had lived on purpose without electricity for months at a time in my 20's and 30's using wood stoves and Aladdin kerosene lamps for heating and lighting my house or cabin. I even home schooled my 3 older kids who are now in their 30's now for for 4 years living without electricity for up to 6 months at a time. It was an eye opening and sometimes very fun experience at 4000 feet then on Mt. Shasta in our A-Frame.
However, today my 11 year old is having trouble even one morning without electricity so I kept redirecting her so she wouldn't freak out. Finally I said, "Why don't we go in the hot Tub. I think it's 104 degrees right now even though the electricity is off." A smile came to her face. Moments later she had her bikini and head wrap on with an umbrella to go into the outdoor hot tub spa. My wife was a little uncomfortable and said, "What about lightning?" (She had known me to sit in the Hot Tub during lightning storms as I get really physically and spiritually charged up in this way and because I'm precognitive I am in no danger if I am being aware at that moment. I said, "We haven't had any lightning here for years now since the weather has started changing except in the far distance. It isn't a problem." So she finally gave in to my calming spa idea for my daughter.
I soon got into my trunks and got into the spa with my daughter. She had recently found a wallpaper and screen saver for her IMAC of Ganesha, the Elephant God of India. Since I went to Japan, Thailand, Nepal and India for 4 months in 1985-86 I have seriously considered myself to be a literal Citizen of the Earth and a patriotic American combined so now I have two loyalties. I help as best I can God, self, family, friends, American and all life on Earth. For this to be useful I find it is best to be a cultural relativist which means believing that no culture is intrinsically better than any other while for me at least valuing my own culture because this is the one that spawned me and gave me a wonderful life.
Even though I know that she found this Ganesha wallpaper and screen saver because of one of the private schools she might go to next I didn't say anything about this.
She looked me straight in the eye and said, "Do Gods Die?" I thought about this and said, "Gods don't die but different people will name the same Gods different things." She gave me a funny look but that is what popped out of my mind and I realized it was what I most believe is true.
It got me to thinking about this. First of all so I don't offend any of you, comparative religion is a lifelong hobby of mine. As a young man in studying different religions I found that at core they all are just about exactly the same. The only differences really are the cultural nuances. Then if one studies the true historical experiences of the founders of the religions one finds it very unlikely that after 1000 years or more that the adherents to any religion actually follow the same ideas as the founder or if they do follow the same basic ideas the emphasis now is very very different. It is almost as if every generation reinvents their religion according to their own likes and dislikes. It would almost be better to name each religion after the foremost preacher of that religion today. Because it is usually no longer at all what the original founder was talking about or doing. However, the majority of people seem to be oblivious to this actual fact of life.
This is one reason I have no trouble at all of forming my own opinions and beliefs based upon all religions. Basically, what I do is to study all religions that interest me. First of all since I was raised a Christian Mystic I believe that "God is where you find Him, Her, the Being." The second belief of mine predicated on the first is: "If an ant is your guru, feed him (or her)."
My third belief is that: "The Spirit of the Law gives life while the letter of the law only kills!"
This third belief makes me frown upon fundamentalists of all religions because fundamentalism always eventually leads to killing. This is an inevitable result because fundamentalists ALWAYS spring from psychological and/or physical Child Abuse as children. Fundamentalism is a coping mechanism for dealing with psychological and/or physical Child Abuse. So it could be said that the primary cause of all wars on earth is psychological and physical child abuse.
Once any person understands this basic fact of life it is very freeing. It is then possible for all beings who understand this fact to become free thinkers. For me a free thinker only means that since that person has a personal relationship both with himself and hopefully God he or she will more likely become someone who benefits not only himself or herself but most or all others in a chain reaction of infinite good ways.
So I classify people in two basic ways. Either a person is mentally enslaved or an empowered free thinker. I can usually tell within less than 5 minutes of talking with any person which type of person I'm talking to. If a person is enslaved I will try to open them up to being a free thinker. If that is not possible I will still be kind to that person but feel a little sorry for them. Enslaved people have a lot to share still. They are doing the best they can and maybe some day they might become free thinkers too.
So I guess by now you can understand that I'm not interested in any fundamentalist ideas whether they be Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Jewish, scientific, atheistic or whatever. I'm interested only in what keeps the humans of earth alive and prospering for millions of years on earth and on out into space on other worlds. Though as a soul traveler I have been allowed by God to see some of the thousands of Group heavens and some of the millions or billions of individual heavens I feel my job is to help humans in bodies either remain in bodies or have bodies to incarnate into in a world that is still worth living in. By the way I found that heavens are classified by era, belief, friendship and family. It is sort of like on earth people visit different heavens according to interest and belief and move around somewhat while the more fundamentalist people usually stay in one heaven and don't move around so much. I tend to move around a lot in between lifetimes because I like to study different belief systems in different heavens. That's what is fun for me. I guess that since I'm such an old soul I get bored pretty fast because I have lived in so many lives and so many heavens. However, I do have a lot of friends all over both here and those passed over. What amazes me is how helpful friends and relatives become within about 1 year of their passing over. It just takes a little time to get used to being on the other side just like it does as a baby getting used to be in a human body.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future

Where Did ARM's Come From?
Where Did ARM's Come From? Where did Adjustable Rate Mortgages Come From? I remember the first time I heard of this concept I thought it was really crazy. My reaction came mostly from the nightmare I had in trying to pay back student loans while going through a costly divorce. Nothing teaches like real suffering!
When someone explained ARM's to me I said, "That's the craziest thing I ever heard!" I promptly discouraged anyone from obtaining one with mixed success. Some people were just too desperate to buy a home to listen to me. Luckily, no one that I know of has lost their home or is in bankruptcy or has committed suicide yet because of getting an ARM and losing their home. However, I do know people who own mortgage companies who are pretty unhappy right now and probably will be for the next few years.
I have noticed that the main people with ARM's tend to be the people who know the least or the most about finances. The people who know the least about finances are the first to lose their houses and the second people to lose their houses with ARM's are the loan officers who thought their credit would be enough to get them into a fixed rate loan at some point. Nope! Not anymore. So literally everyone who got an ARM both the informed and the uninformed are in trouble. I would say less than 10% of people with ARM's are in a safe position now.
I also believe that all ARM's will be illegal throughout the free world within 10 years because of all the harm they are doing and will do to western civilization.
This brings me to my next question. What idiot or group of Greedy idiots thought up this crazy idea of creating an ARM in the first place? Any logical person with half a brain would know right off that this was at best an extremely risky idea. I think the people that came up with the idea and wrote these loans should be in jail right now just for all the damage they have already done to people's lives. They put arsons in jail why not the people that designed these dastardly things? This is now much worse than any fire anyone has ever started and is beginning to look more like a slow motion nuclear explosion worldwide!

The Most Intelligent Life form?
The Most Intelligent Life Form? For most of you this will be speculative science fiction. For me, as a precognitive psychic and conscious soul traveler since my 20's it is my direct experience. I do not expect you to believe any of this unless you to have experienced it like me. Otherwise, how could I call you a rational human being? Even for me, it is like speaking many languages of communication. If you speak more than one language you know that no language can actually be perfectly translated into any other except telepathically. However, things can be translated, if somewhat awkwardly, from language to language. Please excuse my awkwardness.
Among life forms in this galaxy that are equal to or superior to humans on earth there are thousands. The most intelligent beings live in the core of our galaxy in completely different space time continuums than we humans on earth do. However, most of these beings are so different than humans that the only way to properly communicate with them would be telepathy and from personal experience they consider beings like you and I very quaint and archaic and primal much like you and I would consider Bears, Deer, raccoons or even cockroaches.
Humans are honored most just for surviving when most more intelligent beings might suicide rather than stick things out. So we are thought of as the ultimate survivors among the species of intelligent beings that colonize worlds and systems on the edge of the Galaxy. So to the galactic core intelligent residents we would be the sand crabs at the edge of the ocean and they would be the sharks and whales and other stuff in the middle of the ocean or Galaxy. When there is a serious ice age on earth our civilization has to devolve sometimes back to the stone age from a space faring world culture. At these times they marvel that at least once every 25,000 years during an ice age that any humans survive at all. (Note:I did some research and the actual cycles of advance and decline of ice ages is 40,000 years to 100,000 years with the ending of the last considered to be 10,000 years ago.) So when we build up another technological society only to have it destroyed in the next Ice Age they are amazed how we never give up as a species. Yes. It is true that between ice ages when we invent space travel sometimes that some of us colonize new worlds with greater or lesser success there. But the most intelligent beings mostly just are amazed that humans and humanoids have found ways to survive on so many planets for several million years now.
Humans and humanoids have colonized planets all along the outside of the galaxy just like sand crabs live on the edges of many oceans. So in the end the quality we most represent to the safe and secure that live lives of millions of years or more is that we are a marvel in how we seem to survive anything.
Some of you might be discouraged by this. However, I view it differently. If all human civilizations on earth learn to join their knowledge and wisdom together better into a unified whole then maybe just maybe we will turn our world civilization into one that lasts through ice ages and other calamities and becomes a 1,000,000 year constant civilization that is prepared for anything.

Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 is also called Cyanocobalamin. I found this out tonight from a guest who uses injects herself in the buttocks with this because when she was young she had anorexia and barely survived it. Our guest is now 37 years old but has to supplement her diet to stay alive. Though she is a physical trainer and a triathlete now she works hard to maintain her health.
About 8 years ago I took my mother and then 10 year old daughter to Europe to meet my then 25 year old son and his friend who were travelling through Europe on a Eurail pass. (note: if you buy a Eurail pass get it your home country because it is much more expensive if you get it in Europe). We met my son and his friend in Munich, Germany where I rented a motor home that could sleep all of us. We all then drove in the motor home through Austria, Switzerland and into Northern Italy.
At that time my mother was what I would call "starting to get strange". I thought the most trouble I would have would be with my 10 year old daughter traveling. No, it was my mother who was always whining and making things difficult. I couldn't understand why, as my mother was always the most pleasant person in any room. However, she was about 80 and little did I know she was starting to move down the road to senile dementia. Alzheimer's is a little like Senile dementia but also different in certain ways. Anyway the cause of senile dementia is hardening of the arteries of the brain And of the stomach no longer being able process B-12 vitamins.
If you or anyone you know is over 40 or 50 world wide, the chances are they will be needing at least sublingual B-12 supplements sooner or later. I get mine from Trader Joe's in California and you just put one under your tongue once or twice a week. I used to do it every day until I heard that the cell salts aren't good to take every day that the b-12 is suspended in. By putting it under your tongue and not swallowing it, the vitamin bypasses the stomach which might not be able to process it anyway and goes directly into the blood through the veins under your tongue by way of the cell salts. If you are wealthy enough you could just get B-12 shots from your doctor at least once a month after age 40 or 50 years old as a precaution against a dysfunctional brain and eventual senile dementia. Because without enough b-12 no ones brain can function properly after 40, 50 or 60 years old depending on the health and genetics of the person.
It is very healing for me to write this for you because I wasn't knowledgeable soon enough to save my mother from Senile dementia. She hasn't known who she or I am for about 1 year now and can't walk anymore. Senile dementia is a fatal disease for those of you who don't know. It might take 10 or 20 years but it is always fatal. Maybe doctors can figure a way to completely stop it soon. However, it is too late for my mother who will be 89 in January 2008. My mother's mother and two sisters all passed on at age 90 so maybe Mom will live to 90 also.

Plant and Animal Cells
Plant and Animal Cells. A cell whether plant or animal or human cell is the structural and functional unit of all known living organisms on earth. Colonies of cells whether they be plant or animal or human live together by communicating with each other and sharing resources for their mutual survival. All known psychic telepathic communication is done cell to cell whether it be plant, animal or human. People like myself that can harness this ability are simply doing what all other forms of life have done on earth for millions of years. They are learning to harness this ability for survival of themselves and hopefully for the survival of mankind. This has always been my interest as well.
When I was young I became interested in studying comparative Religions. My best friend in College eventually got a Master's degree in the History of Religion from UCLA specializing in Buddhism and Sanskrit. By combining my interest in my natural psychic abilities with a study of comparative religions it allowed me to move in new directions. I discovered that I was a cultural relativist. A cultural relativist is someone who realizes that no culture is intrinsically superior to any other.
My own reasoning goes something like this. Each culture has its own definition of intelligence therefore unless one is a member of a specific culture one will not be considered necessarily intelligent by members of another cultural set of norms. So therefore there is a tendency of all people to only consider intelligent and sane and normal those people from their own culture and norms. So the wisdom of being a cultural relativist is that one can then have a chance at understanding other cultures by at the very least equally valuing them to ones own culture. Without enough cultural relativists inside of any cultures the most likely result of associations of any two cultures is eventually a War.
Verbal communication is very lacking because of all the nuances and culturally hidden meanings. Because of these nuances disagreements between people often arise that come from different backgrounds. Even between English speaking people from England and American English speaking people from the U.S. are sometimes referred to as "Two peoples separated by a common language."
Therefore, the more people who redevelop the ancient communications of cellular communication the better off we all will be. There will be less wars, less disagreements and more relative harmony between all beings and therefore more harmony between all plant, animal and human Cells on Earth!

Nuclear Danger
Nuclear Danger. The present problems in Pakistan could spin out of the control of any one nation. It is a time for all nations to work together to prevent a very serious nuclear accidental conflagration. As a psychic I would say the most dangerous time is between Thanksgiving and the New Year. I know it is unfortunate timing but that appears to be the most dangerous time of all. By February I see most of this cleared up if it doesn't go nuclear.
1985-86: Fred's Journal Through Asia
1985-86:Fred's Journal Through Asia. I thought it might be fun for you to read my journal from December 1985 through about April 1986. Most of this time was spent in Japan, Thailand, Nepal and India with my wife and three children ages 10 to 14 at the time. I and my wife then were 37 years old and my father had passed away about 4 months before so I was going through some profound changes in my life and would be for some time to come.
Since this trip of 4 months or more I have considered not only myself but all my family to be Citizens of the Earth and not just Americans anymore for no experience that I presently know of would have changed us all more unless we had gone to another planet. My 14 year old said, "These people think we are gold plated E.T's" If you had been on this trip with us you would have agreed. He was referring to people we met way out in the country who had not been educated at all even through 3 years of grade school so to them we were something I can't really describe usefully to you unless you had been there and experienced it. So many things through us into serious culture shock especially in India out in the country. Every time we encountered a leper or a dead body that no one would ever pick up we had to persevere to keep it together as a family. For at that time to help someone over there there was a tendency to think you had to take care of that person for life. That was just a part of the culture then.It made things difficult to adjust to in some ways while in India especially. It was ok to give a few coins to those in need which we did almost every day except when we weren't traveling but more than that seemed to be frowned upon at that time by most people. So even middle class Americans like us were well into the top 20 or 30% of the wealthy and educated of India at that time. However, now, 20 years later everything has changed because like China the economy of India is on a roll and is expanding in an amazing way that is benefiting millions of Indian citizens.
The following is the location of my online journal of 1985-1986:
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Wetlands/2634/earth
NOte: The above address no longer exists and if you paste it it will redirect you to dragonofcompassion.com which is my new site. But I don't think I have my Journal through Asia copied to that site. So, if I decide to put it there I will try to get this info to you here. One my my ethical problems with sharing all this is that I am divorced from my wife I was married to then and remarried with another daughter who is close to going to college now. So, my life has changed a lot since then. So, though my biological son and I are both Buddhists in addition to being mystical Christians now, the rest of my ex-wife's family likely is not. So, I have mixed emotions about sharing this for obvious reasons. I started to share more recently at:
Here are some of the spiritual realizations I experienced then to start:
Attainment of Realization
action-Teaching
Attainment of future realizations for others
I must give myself the Freedom to benefit myself so that I may benefit others
Regeneration
Renewal
Awakening
When the mind has no place where it can stop and become limited the Great Mahamudra is present
By cultivating such an attitude one attains supreme enlightenment.
Help: From all points in the universe to all points in the universe---
By Becoming the Galaxy one becomes an immortal representative of the Galaxy---
(The Goal of all Dragons of Compassion)
The above were realization quotes created by this journey, this pilgrimage that for me was very like going to a completely different planet it was so different than the U.S.
12-9-85
We leave for Thailand day after tomorrow. After so many years the waiting will finally be over! What we will find I cannot completely say. The only culture changes that would be more different than ours than the ones we will meet would be to go off planet. I can see why I had to wait until I was mature enough not to get caught in the past. This journey will make our family true citizens of the world.
December 11 & 12
We are crossing the International date line. It is 5:11 pm Wednesday the 11th San Francisco Time and Thursday the 12th 10:41 AM Tokyo time. It has been 55+ years since I have been to Asia and 40 years since I died as a young 12 year old in Nagasaki. The food here in 1st Class on JAL was a combination of Asian and American. There are a few Americans here in 1st Class where we were put but here on the top front of a JAL 747. Most of the people are Asian. A lot of Japanese Businessmen are flying here in 1st class. The plane looked very clean and new when we 1st saw it with Claire this morning. We seem to be flying very high close to 40,000 feet the highest clouds are at least 20,000 feet to 30,000 feet below us.
today Sunday June 23rd 2013:
I know I have transcribed this somewhere before but I haven't found it yet.end quote today.
Friday December 13th 1985
Well We're here in Bankok. We landed in Tokyo at 4:30 pm yesterday--beautiful flight. The feeling of Japan wasn't as self confident as I had expected. The feeling at Narito Airport was of a people who are survivors who have a different set of problems than Americans but who are closer to each other than Americans are. Body language is different. A man in a full dress suit at Narito Airport was sitting across from me and acting strange. I didn't know if he was gay had a leg problem was being macho or what so I ignored him because I couldn't figure out what was going on.
When we walked out of Bankok, Thailand Airport about 20 guys tried to grab our bags and put us in their taxis. We finally settled on 500 bhats $23 dollars to take us to Sweety's Guest house for 2 taxis.
We got a large room at Sweety's for 200 bhats ($10). The room was very clean (no bugs) beds with Sheets only (too hot) (and this is December?) I had lived in Hilo, Hawaii in August 1974 and this was much hotter than that(December?) beds are 3 feet off the floor (tropical climate and potential snakes or bugs?) Most roads late at night seem to have no speed limits because our drivers drove 70 to 90 miles per hour across town to get us there quickly. Many 3 wheeled bright colored taxis. Most cars and buses are made in Asia and Great Britain. I haven't seen any American cars yet. Sweety's has a 3 foot by 3 foot Thai Buddhist pagoda on it's roof terrace. There are 3 foot fans that go all night because of the incredible heat and humidity. It hasn't gone below 80 to 85 degrees at any moment of the night. Humidity is about 95%. Thai writing looks like Tibetized English but is illegible to westerners so we can't even read business signs.
December 16th 1985
Koi Samed Island. 3 hours North? of Bankok. Since I last wrote we had a very difficult time Friday December 13th morning trying to find out where we were in relation to the Nepalese Embassy. Almost no one speaks English. After a very frustrating 2 hours we finally got on the right bus going in the right direction. On the bus we met a sophisticated Thai woman who spoke English and was helpful. We also met Nairoosee (Nirus) for short. he is a 22 year old Thai from Malaysia Thai Border near Koi Samoi island which is a tourist trap for Europeans and Yanks like us. It is ten hours by bus and train. If we had more time we would go there.
Back at Sweety's Guest house last night. We were all very tired. Two of the kids got sick at koi Samed Island. One threw up over the side of the boat ride over. A young 20 year old Thai helped my comfort my son. Thailand is forcing all of us to be more adaptable. Worked 2 hours filling out forms for visas for Nepal. Nairoos ahs been traveling with us and has been invaluable(priceless) as a friend and in helping us bargain for everything including taxis and food. he has been to Cairo, Egypt for 6 years studying Arabic and French. Traveling with us is helping him with his English, Arabic and French he says and understanding the cultural background of Americans.
We met a nurse from Seattle with a German Carpenter traveling around the world. She said the first week in a country you pay the most until you figure out all what's going on in the local area.
Note: June 23rd 2013
There were many aspects to going to Koi Samed Island that were otherworldly. For example, there were two men riding a motorcycle carrying 8 foot long pieces of wood on one of their two left shoulders along the freeway like this was normal without helmets. However, we also saw at least several destroyed motorcycles every day in Bankok. Also, the air was brown with no mufflers or catalytic converters. So, about 7 am it became deafening in our room from no mufflers on thousands to a million cars and buses and taxis and trucks in Bangkok. You had to yell to converse with each other. It was pretty unexpected like just how hot it was going to be in December in Bangkok.
But then after the bus ride to the boats that take you out to the islands I looked at the boat and I wondered if it was safe enough to even get on. It was wooden boat and diesel powered. Then a man dressed as a woman danced on the bow of the boat and it seemed like the people were worshipping him. I had no idea what this was about either. But later I learned they are island shaman priests that do this to protect sailors from dangers at sea. So, I guess they are paid for this entertainment and blessing by the ship captains.
Once on the Island there was no pier to get off on. The boat was just driven up on the beach. So, I jumped out in about 3 feet of water and my 10 year old son jumped in and got pretty wet. But my 14 year old was big enough not to drown in the surf. Then we formed a chain with me the deepest and we passed out baggage from me to the 14 year old to the 10 year old. Then I piggy backed my 12 year old daughter and my 37 year old wife ashore so they didn't have to get as wet as we were. Then we ate Garlic shrimp caught there that day and fried on the beach. We got a room which was an empty hut 4 feet off the ground. We brought sleeping bags and duffel bags so we were fine. The next day we rented snorkels and masks and were told to watch out for rock fish which were poisonous to step on and to not put our feet or hands in giant clams because we would drown. Once they close they don't open for an hour or more usually and people die. We also rented a sailboard which was a lot of fun sailing. My oldest son and I got pretty good with it. But another kid then rented it and sailed right out to sea because he didn't know how to turn it. I notified the owner who got in his powerboat and went about 5 miles out to sea to rescue the kid who didn't know how to turn the sailboard back towards the land. But, the two boys got sick likely from eating something maybe. We were more vigilant after we watched people refill bottled water with a hose which likely caused my sons to get sick. Because they were saying it was sealed when it wasn't boiled first to try to make more money and were getting people sick instead. Many things aren't policed the way they would be in the U.S. so one has to be very vigilant (at least then it was this way). end note today in 2013.
Note: I likely will add more later. This journal goes from the flight over December 11th and 12th 1985 to the flight back in April 1986.
Since this trip of 4 months or more I have considered not only myself but all my family to be Citizens of the Earth and not just Americans anymore for no experience that I presently know of would have changed us all more unless we had gone to another planet. My 14 year old said, "These people think we are gold plated E.T's" If you had been on this trip with us you would have agreed. He was referring to people we met way out in the country who had not been educated at all even through 3 years of grade school so to them we were something I can't really describe usefully to you unless you had been there and experienced it. So many things through us into serious culture shock especially in India out in the country. Every time we encountered a leper or a dead body that no one would ever pick up we had to persevere to keep it together as a family. For at that time to help someone over there there was a tendency to think you had to take care of that person for life. That was just a part of the culture then.It made things difficult to adjust to in some ways while in India especially. It was ok to give a few coins to those in need which we did almost every day except when we weren't traveling but more than that seemed to be frowned upon at that time by most people. So even middle class Americans like us were well into the top 20 or 30% of the wealthy and educated of India at that time. However, now, 20 years later everything has changed because like China the economy of India is on a roll and is expanding in an amazing way that is benefiting millions of Indian citizens.
The following is the location of my online journal of 1985-1986:

NOte: The above address no longer exists and if you paste it it will redirect you to dragonofcompassion.com which is my new site. But I don't think I have my Journal through Asia copied to that site. So, if I decide to put it there I will try to get this info to you here. One my my ethical problems with sharing all this is that I am divorced from my wife I was married to then and remarried with another daughter who is close to going to college now. So, my life has changed a lot since then. So, though my biological son and I are both Buddhists in addition to being mystical Christians now, the rest of my ex-wife's family likely is not. So, I have mixed emotions about sharing this for obvious reasons. I started to share more recently at:
Here are some of the spiritual realizations I experienced then to start:
Attainment of Realization
action-Teaching
Attainment of future realizations for others
I must give myself the Freedom to benefit myself so that I may benefit others
Regeneration
Renewal
Awakening
When the mind has no place where it can stop and become limited the Great Mahamudra is present
By cultivating such an attitude one attains supreme enlightenment.
Help: From all points in the universe to all points in the universe---
By Becoming the Galaxy one becomes an immortal representative of the Galaxy---
(The Goal of all Dragons of Compassion)
The above were realization quotes created by this journey, this pilgrimage that for me was very like going to a completely different planet it was so different than the U.S.
12-9-85
We leave for Thailand day after tomorrow. After so many years the waiting will finally be over! What we will find I cannot completely say. The only culture changes that would be more different than ours than the ones we will meet would be to go off planet. I can see why I had to wait until I was mature enough not to get caught in the past. This journey will make our family true citizens of the world.
December 11 & 12
We are crossing the International date line. It is 5:11 pm Wednesday the 11th San Francisco Time and Thursday the 12th 10:41 AM Tokyo time. It has been 55+ years since I have been to Asia and 40 years since I died as a young 12 year old in Nagasaki. The food here in 1st Class on JAL was a combination of Asian and American. There are a few Americans here in 1st Class where we were put but here on the top front of a JAL 747. Most of the people are Asian. A lot of Japanese Businessmen are flying here in 1st class. The plane looked very clean and new when we 1st saw it with Claire this morning. We seem to be flying very high close to 40,000 feet the highest clouds are at least 20,000 feet to 30,000 feet below us.
today Sunday June 23rd 2013:
I know I have transcribed this somewhere before but I haven't found it yet.end quote today.
Friday December 13th 1985
Well We're here in Bankok. We landed in Tokyo at 4:30 pm yesterday--beautiful flight. The feeling of Japan wasn't as self confident as I had expected. The feeling at Narito Airport was of a people who are survivors who have a different set of problems than Americans but who are closer to each other than Americans are. Body language is different. A man in a full dress suit at Narito Airport was sitting across from me and acting strange. I didn't know if he was gay had a leg problem was being macho or what so I ignored him because I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Reincarnator
Reincarnator. To some of you this might be a dirty word like Californicator which is what Californians are sometimes called by people from other states. Californians usually laugh this off just like I laugh off people who dislike me for believing in Reincarnation. You see, I know something most of them don't. I know for example that Pope Silverius was put in jail sometime between 300 to 500 AD and was only released by Emperors Justin and Theodora when he agreed to take all references to reincarnation out of the Bible permanently. Emperors Justin and Theodora wanted Hell fire and brimstone instead to scare the common people into being better slaves instead. By making Christians their emotional and mental slaves by denying them second and more chances through reincarnation preachers bent on hell, fire and damnation went to work and Justinian and Theodora got rich on the enslavement. Theodora was Empress alongside Justinian from April 4th 527 AD to June 28th 548 AD.
Justinian and Theodora's army entered Rome on December 9th, 536 AD. Some time after than Pope Silverius was imprisoned by Justinian and Theodora until he made major changes to the Bible including the elimination of all Christian references to Reincarnation. Unfortunately, over time most of these changes became permanent even though the effect was to change Christianity in major ways from what Christ actually taught as far as the Catholics and Protestants are concerned ever since.
My experience of Reincarnation has come to me slowly over the years. When I was still a child I asked my parents why we were Christians but also believed in reincarnation. My parents told me the story of what happened to Pope Silverius and the Catholic Church and protestant churches as a result and told me that they wanted to be Christian the way Jesus was Christian and not the way some dumb kings and queens changed it. My experience as a little child was to feel very sorry for all the Christians who never knew this truth. By writing this for you I feel a little healing taking place in that little child that asked this question over 50 years ago now.
So my parents taught me that everyone including Jesus is a son or daughter of God and that Jesus is the example for all of us to become through perserverance and reincarnation to become just like him. As a child I found this idea pretty frightening as I couldn't see myself nailed to a cross with blood dripping down. I'm sure many of you have thought like this too.
However, as I grew up I saw that the real point is to be kind and to become an example of kindness to others and to protect others when possible from harm. This is what Jesus really did in teaching forgiveness of oneself and others. He protected us all by teaching us forgiveness. He didn't say allow injustice. He just said we must forgive ourselves and others and not repeat the transgressions.
As I grew older I realized that most Christians really didn't care that Reincarnation was once a part of Christianity because it was more a culture like being an American than anything that was really true to them so they could really care less about what truth was. All these people really cared about was the order of their lives. Truth really meant nothing at all. When I learned this I was really scared. Because if order was more important than truth all humanity not only was in trouble but IS in trouble.
My issue with truth is about 500 times worse now than when I grew up because of corporate speak. I.E. corporations masquerading their ideas as real news. It is a lot like driving down the road blindfolded as a country. Sooner or later you will hit something with you car. It is not if but when. I think the subprime collapse of flexible rate home loans is just the first lie our country is going to hit now. It looks like there are going to be many more lies to come.
It's times like these I'm glad I have no mortgages or need of one. However, let me get back to reincarnation and reincarnators like myself. I realize now that I have memories of past lives stretching back over 5 million years as humans and other types of beings in this galaxy and others. I also have memories of being a part earth human colonist about 1,000,000 years in the future. What is odd is that this life has already been lived even though it is in the future. I have written about this life at my other website in what I call "Memories". It is about 125 or more pages long and covers a few of many more lifetimes between about 5 million BC to over 1,000,000 AD. When I first started to write this it was 1980 when I lived in Mt. Shasta. I didn't know they were past lives until it began to dawn on me that Elohar and Ragna was the story of the future lives of my parents in 7000+ AD in what is now called Switzerland and Northern Italy. Slowly it began to dawn on me that what I was writing wasn't science fiction but was a history of some of my past lives and past lives of my parents, children and friends.
Of course I have no proof of any of this just like you don't have any proof that God or Jesus exist or existed or that Buddha existed other than that some people left writings about them. Actually, it is less important to me that you believe that these are legendary stories of a few of
my past lifetimes. Because of a variety of factors and the fact that likely this is my last lifetime as a human for a variety of reasons I may need to live longer than average to complete what I'm doing as a soul. However, I'm open to passing on at any moment between now and 10,000 years or more from now. Each possibility I believe is about equal because of a variety of factors taking place both in my life and upon the earth. However, since you might not have second sight it might not be as obvious to you as to me. However, there is always the genetic factor. Both my grandfather and my father thought they would never die. However, they both did which was a pretty big disappointment for me although from a pragmatic viewpoint expected.
The following is my website at Yahoo Geocities that I have maintained since 1999 when I almost died. Since God allowed me to live I made a personal Covenant with God to publish online all the things that I had been afraid to publish before for fairly obvious reasons.
The Yahoo Geocities site I would say is PG13 and not really written for kids under about 12 or 13 at a minimum even though some are very precocious. However, I purposely put no graphics or visuals of any kind to discourage all but the most mature from studying what I have written.
I have written at this site to empower all those who are ready and who are gifted for a much deeper and more personal relationship with God and enlightenment. I have tried to share what will not only help you and your family and friends survive and prosper but also equally important what will help the human race survive and prosper now and in the future but will also help as humans begin to colonize other planets and dimensions once again from earth both in this Galaxy and others.

Losing Our Privacy(freedom)
Losing Our Privacy(freedom). I started noticing a change of words starting during the Viet Nam War. For example the word genocide or the uncontrolled murder of every man, woman and child of a specific ethnic group became: Ethnic Cleansing. Now the new buzzword is Privacy. No, I say the word is Freedom not privacy: The freedom to not have my identity stolen or misused. The freedom to say what I believe is true and happening. The freedom to assemble and to protest. However, all these FREEDOMS mean nothing without Freedom of the Press. I don't believe we have freedom of the press anymore. What we have is Corporate Speak. In other words we now have what multinational corporations want us to hear. For example, they don't want us to hear what they are really doing to the people of other countries in order to bring whatever we want to this country. They don't want us to know of what they are doing to this country to bring us the products that we want either. So we are no longer really CITIZENS anymore of any country we are ONLY CONSUMERS and consumers only deserve to be told what is in the best interests of multinational Corporations and all other corporations in the world.
At a recent meeting I went to in Santa Cruz regarding the pheromone spraying one lady was wearing a placard. On the back side of the placard it said, "Why does the pheromone spray Corporation have more rights than you?" I put the question differently. It is: "Why do the rights of each Corporation outweigh the rights of any individual or group? Secondly, why is no corporation accountable like a person would be for harm? Why can't CEO's be executed for murder just like death row inmates when they cause untold deaths throughout the world?"
The latest debacle of Freedoms is being done under the banner of Security. So next, if you travel to Europe now by plane the European Union needs to know not only where you live, your social security number, your children and how old they are, where they attend school but also your credit card number for each credit card you have and all your financial history etc.
Do you really believe that your credit will be protected given the number of countries and municipalities within the European Union? If you do, then you are just another fool.
Like P.T. Barnum once said, "A sucker is born every minute!"

Personal Privacy or National Security?
Personal Privacy or National Security? I was horrified to see in last Sunday's Parade magazine out of our local Sunday Newspaper that 52% of people in a poll thought National Security was more important than Personal Privacy. I am obviously in the 48% minority that believe as the old adage says: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
This quote is why we had a war to separate ourselves from England in the revolutionary war. Without this sentiment our country is just a bunch of pansies and we are lost! If we give up our liberties for security at the rate we are now doing the ONLY result is National bankruptcy and the end of our American Democracy. This is I believe where we are headed now the way things are presently going!
One has only to look at the sinking dollar caused mainly by the American paranoia over Iraq, Iran and now in the last few weeks: Pakistan. Though I agree these are all serious problems in the world has any of these nations attacked the U.S.? Of course not. If we wanted to be angry with any nation the nation with the most citizens that HAS actually attacked us so far has been Saudi Arabian citizens during 9-11. Though they weren't a part of the Government of Saudi Arabia still they were Saudi citizens. That is why everything since 9-11 has been so crazy.
As our country's fortunes sink into the sunset while being vampired by Disaster Capitalist Companies like Halliburton that Cheney used to be on the board of and Blackwater that is now in dishonor in Iraq one must contemplate what the Hell is going on with America and its tax dollars?

American Gangster:The Movie
American Gangster:The Movie. As a movie, this was one of the best of the year. And the fact that it was based upon truth made it even better. Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe did themselves proud.
However, as I was watching this and remembering what it was really like in the late 1960's and 1970's, I thought back to life when I was 21 in 1969. And among the young people I knew at that time it was generally accepted that the CIA funded its most expensive Black ops operations with drug money, especially heroin and cocaine. So when I watched Denzel smuggle raw heroin into the USA from Viet Nam or Cambodia, on board Army hercules C-130's I knew from those days that this COULD NOT be done without a CIA connection. One just did not waltz into a situation like that without CIA Black ops help.
Also, I have wondered a lot about whether the real reason the United States took out the Taliban recently (2001 and 2002) was because the Taliban were destroying US Black ops profits from the Opium poppies they were destroying in Afghanistan. Since Opium poppies are the basis of American Black ops money at least since the 1960's. Though this hasn't been spoken of since the 70's and 80's it is a dirty little secret that most Viet Nam veterans and people who were adults who actually lived through the 1960's and 1970's know about. This could also be another reason so many Afghan Taliban terrorists are kept incommunicado in Guantanamo Bay Cuba so they can't tell anyone about this.
If you have lived as an adult through the Cold War then you know Western Powers (i.e. US, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan etc would do literally ANYTHING not to go communist. So it is not a surprise to any of us that this sort of thing went on and is likely still going on. The world has changed a lot but in some ways it has remained EXACTLY the same.
It makes me wonder a lot what is being smuggled back into the United States from Afghanistan, and Iraq these days on board military planes?

Don't Spray Us by Air
Don't Spray Us By Air. One week or so they were spraying 30 million dollar homes and world class golf courses with moth pheromone spray by air. This week starting tonight they are spraying Santa Cruz to Salinas starting tonight at 8pm to 5 am. I'm writing this for all those being sprayed tonight through November 8th, 2007. Those of you around California in surrounding Counties will likely be sprayed just like us starting in the Spring of 2008.
Do I believe it is safe? No. I don't. I believe the pheromone itself might be relatively harmless. However, the propellant used causes asthma and breathing problems in humans just like it does to painters who use the same chemicals in their paint. My wife (who does not have asthma at all) got severe asthmatic bronchitis the day after the spraying here on the Monterey Coast. She also went the extra step to get a doctors letter verifying this and shared this with state agricultural representatives.
It is hard for me to take all this very seriously because it is obvious that people who are in charge are not using basic common sense. I can see the sense of giving individuals sprayers to spray their own homes and yard and trees. However, in spraying in this way one creates potential disaster situations for human health en masse.
For example when there is an ecoli outbreak this can usually be contained to a small segment of the population affected. However, when something unknown and untested on humans until we were sprayed in September and about 1 week ago nothing was known about the full consequences. After listening to the state and Federal Panel in Santa Cruz nothing will be known after any sprayings either because no REAL studies are expected to see if anyone is harmed.
When concerned citizens asked whether doctors letters and illnesses would be recognized, people on the panel said that local Departments of Health had to be notified in a specific sequence. This told the audience I was in that the people who would get ill would not be able to go through the proper channels to actually do anything about the spraying to get it to stop basically unless they had a doctorate in knowing what to do and even then it would be disregarded by the state and federal government.
The following is SCIENCE FICTION.
Imagine this! This spring 2008 or the following spring2009 or 2010 someone from state or federal government who is intelligent but without useful boundaries as a human being decides to conduct an experiment that hasn't exactly been authorized but "What the Hell!" what they don't know won't hurt them. Right?
So this person with a master's degree or doctorate but without useful social boundaries gets hold of some very specialized nanobots designed to be used within a moths body. He slips these nanobots into the lbam-f getting ready to be sprayed over heavily populated areas.They are specifically designed to connect to the moths visual processing centers. They get into the moths when they land on the pheromone laden plants. These nanobots are also designed to gravitate towards the reproductive organs of the moths to embed themselves in moth eggs to do the same thing again and again if possible. The master's degree or doctorate person has a wonderful time. he was well paid by those corporate researchers and some of these moths land and put very wealthy and influential people into positions of blackmail by these corporations. Federal Government heads are also compromised in this way and then vulnerable to blackmail as well. But this isn't the real nightmare scenario. The nanobots are faulty and begin to alter the moths dna structure to something they can relate to better. The moths mutate. The nanobots get the moths within 20 generations to become as big as cars. The moths don't last very long in this state but scare the hell out of a lot of people when the land on freeways. 100 car pile ups later
things are definitely out of control. Though this is a joke I'm also trying to get you to see how crazy it is using just common sense to spray densely populated areas with anything.
Next Science Fiction Scenario. Now this is reminiscent of 9-11 kind of thinking. In this science fiction scenario a terrorist looks at this whole situation. He thinks. Where can I get a job or bribe someone to put anthrax or nuclear waste into this pheromone spraying mix. Since most people don't think this way he get his nuclear water waste from a nuclear plant on board. One drop of this nuclear waste in one person's lungs left 2 years would kill that person. Next this is 2010 in the spring over Los Angeles County. All the planes have been loaded with the spray that came from the tampered with tanker truck full of lbam-f.
What do you think happens? Nothing, at first. The Spraying has occured over all of Los Angeles county for the Australian Light Brown Apple Moth. 14 million peoples homes have now been sprayed. An excited Caltech student in Pasadena takes a geiger counter reading on a drop of dew outside his lab and the Geiger counter screams off the charts. He gets his Professor and the Professor is horrified. He notifies the hazmat teams as he thinks some student has taken low level radioactive substances out of the lab. Hazmat teams arrive. However, when they try to find the edge of the radiation there is none except at the borders of Los Angeles county. Meanwhile people are showing up at hospitals and clinics with hair falling out, feeling weak and having difficulty breathing. Two years later 7 million people are dead. The other 7 million are ill. And you thought New Orleans after Katrina was bad?
End result. No one ever finds out (for sure!) that the lbam spray caused this calamity because the state could never have financial resources to be liable. The makers of lbam aren't liable because they didn't spray it they only made it. The security company isn't liable because they didn't spray it. The spraying company goes out of business along with the owners and makers of the planes. The average class action suit holder that is still alive gets 1 Dollar to 40 cents in compensation. Los Angeles can't be inhabited by anyone for 200 years or more if they don't want to die within 5 years. end of story. So much for common sense.
note: I'm adding this November 11th 2007 because of an article I found at BBC.com:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7087829.stm
If you read the BBC article it says that people were arrested for dumping 20 tons of radioactive waste into a river. If highly radioactive material can be dumped into a river in Africa it is also available all around the world and easily attainable This makes spraying large populations by air in the United States extremely problematic and extremely dangerous. Where is common sense? More and more it is as if the whole world has a serious case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A Better Quality Life
Creating a Better Quality Life. My primary intention in writing at this website is to help you create a better quality life. If you have a better quality life the tendency would be for you to help others have a better quality life as well. Part of how this is accomplished is seeing far enough into the future to get out of the way of as many "train wrecks" as possible. By a train wreck I mean mainly wars and severe weather catastrophes. And then there are smaller train wrecks like bridges collapsing, car, truck and boating accidents and plane crashes.
It is a very odd thing but I find that I can ask any vehicle or plane about what is going to happen and they will tell me. This ability seems to run in my family as my grandfather, my father, my uncle and I have had this ability. My reasoning is that all physical beings as well as inanimate objects have intelligence. It may not be the physically verbal kind of intelligence that one expects from a human but almost anything can tell you things you need to know telepathically. This is how shamans and Tribal Spiritual leaders throughout the world kept their tribes alive through calamities. Learning this ability will help you and your families survive any calamities that might befall you and yours.
In the old days I would look forward through time anytime I got in my car or truck before I set out on a drive of more than 20 miles. If I saw something that could result in an accident it took the form of a steel plate 2 inches thick vertial about 10 feet high where the problem would occur on the highway in my mind. I would then visualize an acetylene blow torch and would burn a hole big enough for my vehicle to safely get through. However, 20 years later I found it was just more efficient to leave 5 minutes later. This took less effort and accomplished the same safe end and kept me and my family from having an accident at all. Learning to do this might save your life, your friends and your family.
I have done the same thing with dangerous people my whole life. Whenever it was possible I can sense dangerous people up to 10 miles away. I can increase this to 100 or 1000 miles but this isn't practical in the world we now live. Mostly now if I sense someone on the other side of the road who has maiming or fatal intentions I move away from the person while seriously praying for them not to cause harm to other less aware people.
Whenever I pass any road kill of an animal I pray for that animal to go to a pure land, a heaven. Many times such animals thank me in my spirit for praying for them. I do the same for humans I have come upon that are suffering or dying for whatever reason. I find this is just compassionate and right mindful wisdom to move in this way. No matter the size of the life form I find it better to function in this way. Even spiders that I usher out of my house for scaring my family thank me in this way for not killing them. They often act as guardians outside my house protecting me and my family and friends from mosquitoes and the like.

California DMV
California DMV. Since I first got my driver's license in 1964 on the day I turned 16 I have had many experiences at the DMV. It is usually a very colorful experience in that one can view a really amazing cross section of humanity there. So after over 40 years of these kinds of experiences I found myself unprepared for what I found recently. This time I felt like I was in the third world somewhere with people having very sort of dysfunctional experiences. There were people almost coming to blows with strangers and various sorts of confusion. It was almost as if half the people there were either on some strange drugs or had been very recently.
My first experience was of standing in the information line and overhearing a young woman complaining to someone about just getting out of jail. What was strange for me is that most people I know would never speak of something like this around strangers. So immediately, I felt like I was in some new surrealistic world I didn't want to be in right then.
Don't get me wrong. I have in the past been a counselor for juvenile offenders ages 12 to 17 and they had to have 7 violent felonies in order to speak to me as a counselor. So I'm very well qualified to deal with these kind of people. However, to find oneself unexpectedly and psychologically unprepared for these kinds of situations is quite another thing than spending the night before psyching up and preparing for counseling really troubled people who can be violent at times. The main joy in this kind of work was that I and others had a 25% chance of saving young felons from a life of crime. The other 75% were already too jaded and committed to their lifestyle.
So, when a 20ish young black man threatened another man who was obviously confused for taking to much time at the counter I realized since no one was getting hit or dying that the right thing to do was just to remain quiet. The people around me all did the same.
I was there to get a motocycle license. I missed one more than I was allowed. I could blame my near miss on the people there. However, from my point of view God put me there to pray for these people. Besides, I have an agreement with God that I will only get a motorcycle license if it is safe for me to ride off road again. So although I was disappointed I know that God is always on the job.
I find the motorcycle tests completely crazy. Because if I actually did ANYTHING on the tests the way they are written while riding off the pavement it would cost me my life anytime I rode a dualsport motorcycle. So for me the trick is to take the test and pass without actually doing anything they say off paved highways. For example, to use ones front brake anytime to stop in dirt could be fatal. A dirt rider only uses the back brake for stopping and the front brake when stationary on a hill or slope. Anyone who has ridden motorcycles basically 50 years like me knows this.
So when I'm told to downshift and use the front and back brakes I have to say to myself. "Well, if I am on the pavement that might work if I was really skilled. For such a thing attempted by someone who wasn't really skilled would be fatal both on or off the pavement. However, one must in order to do this leave twice as much room between the car or vehicle in front of them in order to stop or wherever one has to stop like at a stop sign or stop light. So, for a beginning motorcycle rider on or off road I would recommend not to downshift or use the front brake and only use the back brake until you are skilled enough not to die doing the other method. For a novice the first thing that would happen if you downshifted, you then wouldn't have time to stop with either brake. The second thing that would happen is that if you locked the front brake and didn't realize it was locked that you would crash and possibly die.
So telling people to do these things likely will kill novice riders who don't know any better.
The best thing I see happening in California is that many community colleges offer motorcycle competency courses instead of a dmv test.
I am looking at a Kawasaki klr 650. I have sat on one and am tall enough for it not to be a problem. Also, the Army has converted klr's to diesel so it is literally the most reliable dualsport on the road. When one is 50 or 100 miles from the nearest service station or person, reliability is really really important so one can survive that situation because often ones cell phone doesn't work that far out in the boonies(bush). I'm also looking at the new Honda crf230l which is also a dualsport bike for my wife to ride off road with me.(However, I have to teach her to ride first.)
Also, a friend was mentioning to me a motorcycle trailer that he bought from Home Depot for about 400 dollars that is low to the ground for easy loading of off road, dualsport or highway motorcycles. However, I'm not sure Home Depot sells them anymore or not. However, this trailer appears to be the safest way to transport motorcycles of all kinds because it is so safe to load and unload them. For example, many people are injured trying to load or unload pickup trucks full of motorcycles. So a low trailer is a much better option.
Note: In regard to the braking thing I could see if you are only driving a highway motorcycle like a hog it would help immensely to SLOWLY learn to be proficient in the downshift back and front brake method of stoppping because if one is only using the back brake and that's all it is possible to wear out the back brake and then when you needed it it would be gone and all you would have is downshifting and the front brake which might be fatal. So what I'm saying here is that off road riders tend to ride a lot less overall miles than highway motorcylists do. So off road riding is a completely different ball game than highway riding. So whenever you switch be very careful the first 5 or ten minutes until you convert your senses for the other mode of riding.

Also, a friend was mentioning to me a motorcycle trailer that he bought from Home Depot for about 400 dollars that is low to the ground for easy loading of off road, dualsport or highway motorcycles. However, I'm not sure Home Depot sells them anymore or not. However, this trailer appears to be the safest way to transport motorcycles of all kinds because it is so safe to load and unload them. For example, many people are injured trying to load or unload pickup trucks full of motorcycles. So a low trailer is a much better option.
Note: In regard to the braking thing I could see if you are only driving a highway motorcycle like a hog it would help immensely to SLOWLY learn to be proficient in the downshift back and front brake method of stoppping because if one is only using the back brake and that's all it is possible to wear out the back brake and then when you needed it it would be gone and all you would have is downshifting and the front brake which might be fatal. So what I'm saying here is that off road riders tend to ride a lot less overall miles than highway motorcylists do. So off road riding is a completely different ball game than highway riding. So whenever you switch be very careful the first 5 or ten minutes until you convert your senses for the other mode of riding.

What It's Like to Be Precognitive Psychic
What It's Like to Be a Precognitive Psychic. I suppose the best example of what it's like would be it is like being a surfer waiting for the right wave. Only in this case it isn't a physical ocean wave. It is a wave of consciousness. So, the primary thing one does as an active and wise precognitive psychic is go about ones normal activities while keeping ones senses out for these waves. These waves of consciousness that indicate the future can come anytime 24 hours a day. As one gets more used to reading the signs one becomes more at ease with it. It is much like when one first learns to drive everything is scary and could mean death for you or someone else. But after 5 or 10 years of driving experience and developing good driving habits one is not afraid at all because one knows what to do with any situation one encounters. Being and experienced precognitive psychic is the same. Except as a psychic it is not the road it is every physical thing that will happen to you or anyone you know or know of anytime anywhere. So sometimes I will get information about the next 10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 months, 10 years or even 10 centuries or 10,000 years. It is sort of all the same. It all begins with some inkling of something and then sensing that it is important enough to pursue for someone, some groups, or some nations, or our whole worlds survival. The next problem is that usually there is nothing much one can do if it involves large groups beyond one or two people close to you. So as psychic one must be very pragmatic and I have to pray for guidance in regard to most information I get. If I feel I have a 50% or better to help individuals or groups I will try to write about what I'm getting on my blog here or at my other website at Geocities that I have maintained since I almost died in 1999.
Whenever I write something I'm riding one of these waves of consciousness I was talking about. And each of you can tell how good the wave was by what you experience while reading what I wrote riding that particular wave of consciousness. These waves of consciousness are generated, I believe by all life in the universe. I, personally call the primary generator of these waves of consciousness, God. However, one here on earth can more easily tune into those waves more local in nature because they are more likely to be in this time and space and the reality that we inhabit the way we live in and inhabit it. However, I suppose there are some people who choose different waves to tune into but then wouldn't probably be able to write or talk about them because there would be no one who understood unless they rode those different waves of consciousness too. Mostly, people who ride these other types of waves are considered irrational by most of society.
However, the type of waves of consciousness that I ride are the same ones that Tribal Shamans, Gurus, and spiritual counselors have ridden as long as there have been humans on earth. So that would be for at least 40,000 years. The way I do it has been the way tribes of humans have survived calamities for at least these 40,000 years now.
I have refined my techniques by spending much of my 30's studying with native American Medicine men with 40,000 years lineage and with Tibetan Lamas with 2500 years of Buddhist lineage and another 38,500 years of Bonpo shamanic traditions. So the systems I use have been proven for thousands of years of survival without ANY electrical technology as a back up. And people have used these systems to survive in above 8000 feet conditions in the Himalayas as well as all conditions predating the colonization of America by Europe starting in the 1500's.
There is an ethnocentrism that is very extreme in Europe, America, China and Russia that exceeds most of the rest of the world. Ethnocentrism is defined as:evaluating other peoples and cultures according to the standards of one's own culture.
Though defining other cultures by the standards of ones own is the easy thing to do it is ALWAYS a mistake. Because no one can ever really understand another culture this way. One only can actually understand another culture if one is immersed in it. Only then does anyone have any right at all to judge that culture.
It is also my direct experience that all the waves of consciousness in the universe in all time and space could be called God. It is also my experience that the core of all this consciousness doesn't live in any one time or space but is able to move in an out of all times and spaces and so is capable of frequenting all beings in any moment or all moments. This is my core experience and why I choose to stay alive in a body rather than to self destruct. Long ago I decided I would only stay alive if their was some kind of permanent meaning to life as a human. Otherwise, what's the point? Ego gratification? I think that is just stupid. Pride? That is just so temporary.
Family? Now you are getting close to something worth staying alive for. Friends and family? Yes. That's the ticket. God and family and friends? Yes. Now life has some meaning.
So, now I find myself living my life and at the same time waiting and looking for the perfect waves of consciousness to ride. I find it a little harder at times now because I'm 59. However, I also notice I'm more of a master at finding the right waves so I'm much better at making the right decisions most of the time regarding the waves of consciousness that come.
So in refining your skill of being a precognitive psychic if you notice you have some of the natural abilities the most important thing to consider is that you can save yourself, your friends and relatives from death and maiming only some of the time. In the end if it is someone's time to go you won't be able to stop it. However, if the thing happening is optional, truly acciden.tal then sometimes you can save your friends and relatives from harm. So literally, the kinds of things we precognitive psychics can stop is literally accidental deaths and maimings. We can only stop the things that God didn't really intend to happen. That's the best way I can put it.
