Seeking purple

-

Lately I've been yearning for the spiritual, for uplifting, non-material parts of life, for inspiration, enthusiasm and even magic.

Lately I've become keenly aware of my own psychic abilities. Nothing like knowing the answers to specific questions or telling someone their future. More a sort of ESP, a telepathic connection to those close to me. It happens through my body. My gut feeling is not just a feeling; it's actual received information. And lately, I've been able to communicate the other way, to my cat.

Lately, I've felt the need to fill myself up, to do something about my own, personal emotional and spiritual needs. Everything's all right in my world, health-wise, family-wise, money-wise. It's time to feed the spirit.

I'm looking for shades of purple, the color associated with the psychic, the Neptunian, the crown chakra, the spiritual. I haven't actually sought out the color itself. I'm drawn more to its baser expressions of red. All shades of red, from the oranges to the purples. I'm definitely not in a blue mood.

This new growth in my own psychic connection to others, makes me want to know more, to learn more. I think that's one reason why I have such an urge to seek out the spiritual right now.

Mitt søken, beskrevet ovenfor, gjør at jeg ønsker inspirasjon, jeg søker kilder som kan gi meg åndelig næring. Jeg hadde såvidt hørt om Ingebrigt Steen Jensen og i går, hos bokhandleren, kom jeg over boken hans "Ona Fyr". Om det er akkurat det jeg er på jakt etter, vet jeg ikke ennå, men jeg leste de første par kapitlene og følte at her var det i hvert fall en som er på bølgelengde med meg. Som ikke er så imponert over grådigheten og selvopptattheten så mange gir uttrykk for i dagens samfunn, men som vet hvor mye moro mennesker kan ha sammen ved å være mennesker – og hvor produktive slike mennesker er på jobben.

Så jeg leter etter lillafargen i mitt liv, etter undring, inspirasjon, vekst, glede. Glede som er uavhengig av situasjon eller velstand, men som bare er. Når jeg opplever at jeg faktisk kan formidle en stemning, et behov til kjæledyret mitt, får jeg en kraftig påminnelse om at verden består av mer enn det de fem sansene forteller oss om. Og dette "mer" er faktisk reell, viktig og en kilde til glede. Og derfor tror jeg at jeg slik behov for å gå dypere inn i dette.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
