Mysteries of the Earth (Part Three) – Monsters and the Mind

1) Do monsters really fly? Mythology has many stories of fire breathing dragons, the fearsome roc of the arabian nights, the harpies of greece and the thunderbird of american indian lore. Evidence however is scarce, but the fossil remains of a pterodactly, a sharp toothed reptile with a 25 feet wingspan were found, so do flying monsters exist now. In new jersey there is the jersey devil, with 2 feet batlike wings and in africa a creature called the kongamato has been seen, described as a flying lizard with a beak full of teeth. Also in washington, texas and west virginia there is the mothman, reputed to be man shaped and gray in colour. All these creatures have been seen, are they alien in origin, experiments gone wrong, no one knows, but nothing is what it seems.

2) Mind creatures. Creatures of the mind exist in a variety of forms, such as lifelike entities in dreams, invisible friends and hallucinations. Some apparitions however make public appearances and in Tibet manifestations of the mind are called tulpas. A tulpa is produced by a skilled magician or yogi and some are able to produce 10 different kinds of tulpa such as humans , animal or supernatural. A woman lama wrote a book about her experience with a tulpa called magic , mystery in tibet. She manifested from her mind a phantom monk, who eventually became troublesome and a day- nightmare for the lama, after a long struggle the phantom dissolved. A lesson to be learned, what you see maybe a illusion and people maybe there to deceive and corrupt. Be careful who you trust.

Black Holes

Beyond Earth is an infinity of space, that man has only just begun to explore. One of the greater mysteries and baffling is the phenomenon known as black holes. They cannot be seen and there existence is shown by the effect they have on other objects. They are like whirlpools in space. Any object that strays to near will be sucked into it’s dark maw. Where it goes no one knows. Do giant suns and galactic dust cease to exist, or do they travel into another dimension.

Nature

  • Feel the thoughtless wind blow
  • the angels of heaven gather around
  • in bird song of harmony
  • in the intuitive instinct of love
  • butterflies travel with wings of a kaleidoscope dream
  • bees travel from flower to flower way down stream
  • the spring arrives into the summer flowering meadow
  • the autumn catches the breeze
  • of the wintering red wing
  • the circle never stopes turning
  • the planet alive and one
  • to be connected
  • but feeling ejected
  • 93 million miles from the sun
  • so when you take a walk under the blanket of blue
  • remember everything alive is there for you
  • from the worm to the hive
  • to the tree and butterfly
  • its a spectacle to see
  • it’s precious and forever flying free………..

Native Americans – A Short History

Colombus discovered north america, although it was already inhabitated by many indigenous tribes, such as the sioux, navajo and the apache. From 1492 to 1890 several million europeans colonised and enforced their ways upon the people of the new world. The spaniards were some of the first to invade this new land, they were not really welcomed as they looted and burned villages, also kidnapping hundreds of people to be sold as slaves in europe.

Thoughts and Reflections on Musical Influences

Music is forever changing and its easy to be caught in a time warp. I grew up in the 90s and listened to alot of the alternative bands, such as pearl jam and soundgarden. Over the last few years I lost faith in contemporary music and could not really connect with the new music coming through. But I find there’s always a handful of good bands every year and recently bought the new gaslight anthem and hold steady albums and really liked them.

Shamanism

Shamanism is the worlds earliest and most widespread religous tradition , remnants of it are found across the world in places such as siberia, the united states, mexico, tibet and aboriginal australia. Shamanism can be regarded as a visionary approach to nature and the cosmos, which utilizes altered states of consciousness as a means of contacting the sprit world. A shaman is a magical practioner who through the art of will can enter into a trance and journey to the land of the gods and by visionary means identify the cause of the sickness.

In all forms of shamanism it is the notion that the universe is alive with gods and sprits, the shamans role is to identify the harmful sprits which are causing individual illness. So the shamans are entering a state of consciousness between the natural and metaphysical worlds, meeting the sprits in there own world. Shamans are often given their role because of there ancestral lineage or are called to the path through dreams and visions. Because this visionary capacity is restricted to just a few, shamans have found themselves somewhat on the edge of society.

Anthropologists have even speculated that shamans could be victims of mental illness, with which through trance training they control. Observing shamans has led westerners to look closely at the nature of different types of experience and to wonder that the trance state shamans enter is similar to which the mentally ill involuntarily wander. Many people believe the shamans discover a part of the human mind that normally remains untapped. Obviously now through the western lifestyle we have become disconnected with this ancient tradition and lost touch with an ancient way of seeing the world, a part of us thats still inside and never really acknowledged.
