We Love Gaga

The Fame Monster (Deluxe)



This is our favourite album at the moment.  It has some great songs, like our favourite Telephone: although we have different lyrics:-)

Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna think anymore!
I left my Scoof and my Goose on the dance floor.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna talk anymore!
I left my Scoof and my Goose on the dance floor.


Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh


You can call all you want,
You can sniff what you want,
But you're not gonna eat my telephone!
Cuz I'm out in the club,
And I'm sippin' that bubb,
And you're not gonna eat my telephone!

Books about Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings

Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings: Working with the Intelligence in Nature

This is a wonderful book by Marko Pogacnik about his own experiences of working with nature spirits.  It describes how he helped many, like a water sprite displaced when humans changed the course of a river.  It is full of facinating illustrations of how he perceived these subtle spirits and full of insights into the elemental world. 




Healing the Heart of the Earth: Restoring the Subtle Levels of Life

This book by Marko Pogacnik follows on from Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings:.  It gives lots more examples of his work with the elemental kingdom using lithopuncture (a type of acupuncture for the Earth) and other techniques.






Summer with the Leprechauns: A True Story [SUMMER W/THE LEPRECHAUNS]


This book by Tanis Helliwell tells the true story of her summer retreat in Ireland, where she encountered a family of Leprechauns.  It gives much insight into elemental spirits and their relationship to the human world.  We are thinking about writng our own book on this- Scoof and Goose: Adventures in the knitted.

Freeman on the Land

The freeman-on-the-land movement started as a way of liberating individuals from the tyranny of imposed rules, regulations and red tape imposed by the state and to take back individuals sovereign identity and fundamental freedom.  It is based on the premise that we have been deceived on a grand scale into accepting domination by outside agencies, most importantly governments, but also other companies, such as banks, local authorities and the legal system.

This deception goes to the core of our identity, fooling us into thinking we are ‘legal entities’ called a person.  The person is a legal fiction, a straw man, which is bound by admiralty law, the law of the sea.  It is created at birth and is the name that appears on our birth certificate (as in the berth of a ship.)  If we think we are the person and not a free, sovereign being, we are bound by the whole legal system derived from admiralty law (and we can literally find ourselves in the dock.)  If we assert our true identity then we are bound only by common law, which only covers criminal activities and is tried by a jury.  Common Law abiding people who do not use deception in their dealings, or breach the peace, should never find themselves in a court.
 
Another important aspect to the freeman movement is taking on the role of an adult and not asking permission to do things that are perfectly lawful (i.e. not harming anybody, breaching the peace or using deception.)  This means anything that is licensed or permissible under special circumstances is basically lawful, and therefore a freeman-on-the-land is free to do without permission, as they are not acting as a child who would need permission.  This carries responsibility, as an adult a freeman is fully responsible for his actions.  He may not lawfully require a driving licence, but if he drives recklessly or has no driving skills, he is accountable under Common Law for any damage caused.  A freeman may also take drugs, such as opiates, cannabis, etc, lawfully, as these drugs are used under license in medicine and are therefore lawful.  If he should misuse them and cause harm he remains liable for his actions under common law.

The implications are huge as it frees individuals from the tyranny of rules and regulations imposed by so called authority.  At the moment this is being played out in minor ways by individuals refusing to pay taxes, fines, etc, that they have not consented to.  This cuts both ways however, as if you choose to opt out of government control, you also choose to opt out of any benefits supplied by that government now or in the future.  So if you do not pay tax then you cannot expect to have free healthcare, or unemployment or any other benefit.
The full ramifications are total freedom and liberty, provided you act in a peaceful and non harmful way.  This carries great responsibility and a true freeman-on-the-land will act with honour and integrity in all their dealings.  To me being a freeman-on-the-land is about being a spiritual adult and not using the freedom for petty gains, as this harms the freeman movement and society in general .

The similarities between dreams and past lives

Article From The Tribe of the Phoenix- The Dreamlike nature of Rebirth

How many dreams do you dream during your life? Most dreams are forgotten upon waking, but if you could remember them all the total number would be in excess of 100,000. Imagine if each of your night-time dreams were a complete life, an incarnation lasting around 70 years, that of a human life. Perhaps this is the nature of rebirth.

Since the dawn of the species, if we had all lived around 100,000 to 200,000 lives and if these lives were on average 25 to 50 years in length, the timeline would take us back five million years to Australopithecus, our earliest ancestors.

The phenomenon of dreaming reflects the phenomenon of rebirth. This fractal style reflection of the macrocosmic in the microcosmic permeates the whole of reality. For example, on a superficial level, the solar system resembles an atom. If this is so, then understanding our relationship to our night-time dreams will help us understand our relationship to past lives and rebirth.

Each night time dream resembles an incarnation, as during the dream it is completely real to us and nothing other than the dream exists. We accept what happens to us during the dream, no matter how bizarre and they often end unexpectedly. The process of ‘dream death’ is what we call waking up, and most times we completely forget the dream before we even get out of bed. This does not mean that the dream has completely vanished, just it is not conscious. If we do dream-work- such as keeping a dream journal and trying to remember our dreams, we can often master considerable clarity of recall. This is analogous to past life recall work, on a conscious level we do not ‘remember anything’, but if we use shamanic techniques, we can recall our past lives.

There appears to be a hierarchy of dream recall, and there is a similar one for past life recall. The most difficult things to remember are specific facts, abstract thoughts and knowledge. You may not remember names, or what you were thinking, or the address of the house you were in. Next come imagery, scenes from our dreams, snippets at first, sounds, images, smells etc. Beyond that is the emotional reaction to the dream or past life, these are general feelings and leave general residues of feelings. The déjà vu phenomenon is an emotional reaction, a feeling of having been somewhere before and breaks through into consciousness ahead of imagery. Sometimes we wake up elated or deflated, but do not understand why, as emotional memories from our dreams carry into our waking consciousness. Finally there are the subconscious patterns, things we repeat in our daily life without any awareness of doing so. These include irrational fears and reactions to certain stimuli, usually we have no idea why we behave in a particular way, but it may be from our dreams or past lives.

Reincarnation

The memory residue from our past lives informs our current lives. It provides what we think of as our essence, the innate ‘me-ness’, beyond our current physical reality. As we can see from dream recall, this is going to consist mainly of behaviour patterns, we call them innate traits. There will be to a lesser degree a general emotional background, collected from all our past lives, we may be optimistic, pessimistic, depressive, rational, etc. To a greatly diminishing degree will be imagery, what we call past life memories, which we will only glimpse unless we deliberately work to remember them. Finally, abstract knowledge is lost to all but the most capable shaman, names, dates, places, knowledge about particular subjects, the ability to perform learned motor skill tasks like driving or playing an instrument. As a parting though, perhaps those shaman who undertake dream-work and manage to achieve lucidity in the dreaming state, can also achieve lucidity in the incarnated state and perform seemingly magical and supernatural feats?
