"[name redacted] - will you please stop replying to yourself? It's dishonest. We all know that both you [and name redacted] are the same poster. I've told you once before (when you were pretending to be your wife, and you deceased), that your writing style is rather too distinctive to get away with this sort of deception, and it is no doubt feeding your continuing delusions of grandeur also.

Are you an A.:A.: master this week, or a dragon lord fighting level 3 demons and destroying covens? Whatever the latest salve to your ego is, it's nothing to do with Sunshine, and you're hardly qualified to tell other magickians about the adorations."

Raising the dead -- apparently, it's a cinch.

Raise The Dead

Check out this video on...I don't know what to call it.

We are free!

DISCLOSURE

What you must not do is react.

Basically there will not be disclosure.
Surely you've heard all the theories about TPTB fooling us into leaving the planet 
and then disposing of us.

I doubt that I can contact the ETs directly.
The best minds believe they don't exist.

Original poem, in the "cut-up" style of the Beats. 2009.

SETI

I've heard before that SETI isn't a reputable organization. 

They are monsters.

They are ugly. 

Come on, infinite probabilities people! 

This earth alone demonstrates an array of lifeforms,  

That all seem alien to one another.

Original poem, written in the "cut-up" style of the Beats. 2009.

What does life after death really mean?

On the one hand, the evidence for continuity of personality is, in my opinion, very strong; thousands of mediumistic communications attest to it, and I find many of these communications persuasive. On the other hand, who wants to survive as a bundle of quirks and worries and petty grudges? Wouldn't it be hell to be trapped with your chattering "ego-mind" forever? Sweet oblivion would be preferable.

From the wheat and the chaff, an excellent blog post from Michael Prescott.

"For, as Freud has shown, we remember (in the main) what we wish to remember, and forget what is painful. There is thus great danger of deception as to the "facts" of the case; but our memories indicate with uncanny accuracy what is our true will. And, as above made manifest, it is this true will which shows the nature of our proper motion." -The Confessions of Aleister Crowley

"Hitherto I had encountered only the brick wall of traditional views, but now I came up against the steel of people's prejudice and their utter incapacity to admit unconventional possibilities...

...I realized that one gets nowhere unless one talks to people about the things they know. The naive person does not appreciate what an insult it is to talk to one's fellows about anything that is unknown to them...I came to see that a new idea, or even just an unusual aspect of an old one, can be communicated only by facts." - Carl Jung.

This guy has extreme power. It is just. Nobody has recognized it yet.

Another painting of a great medium.
