As a side issue to the question on The Other World, about anyone's belief or otherwise in a world inhabited by spirit beings and any
connections experienced...
How many of you use any methods for communicating with The Spirit? Most people have at some time or other dipped into the daily rag and checked out their Horoscope, with the certain knowledge that
there is a 1 in 365 chance of being your birthday today, or any other brief statement about there being some good/bad news today for all Taureans, or whatever. It is of course tantamount to total tosh.
However, a Horoscope, properly read and written can offer a guiding path for the future of your life; any idea that it will give a forecast of
physical events is also nothing other than hogwash. I have a belief that our life route is, to some degree, wrapped ready to open as soon as we are born. Though I see it more as set out in The Chinese Horoscope, as a path along which you may choose to walk, not as a pre-destined and fixed path with a certain outcome. I also have to admit that there are certain events and meetings which go beyond chance, not all, as a degree of innumerable crossings of lives will bring about great opportunity for the random. Some I have met, just stretch imagination too greatly to be accepted as pure chance ... we were meant to meet such a person, or that is why I was late to work today, etc ....
I can say that I have had my Horoscope read by a good and genuine lady, with whom I was extremely secretive about nothing much more than my date, time and place of birth; it was only after the charts and reports were written out that I realised that after 50 odd (very odd) years this lady had written my life story; from that, I realised that anything written of a time to come, would also have to be correct ... and it has been; as I said, this has nothing to do with actual events, but generalities and personal attitudes. I am not talking Mystic Meg, nor am I talking 'cross me and wiv silver darlin'. I am not even going to talk about my Grandmother who had a true connection with the spirits or myself who does have a connection if I allow myself to be aware and connected. I am talking about observed and calculated solar positions of planets that have a gravitational influence on your being, from the time you are born. For example ... The Moon has a dramatic influence on the mass of the sea and oceans .. water ... what are humans made of? A great deal of water. The plates of the Earth's Crust are affected by the Tides, these massive solids are moved arouhd by the gravitational pull of Thge Moon. All I can say is that I have had the proof.
We hear from Theologians and Spiritualists of the Human connection through prayer, the power of Meditation to reach into the soul of what is. A simple meditational prayer 'Om mane pad mehum', or 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' that I have used focuses the mind and heart to a place in the root of all. The Tarot uses a similar connection, to be used with care. Use the ouija board at your peril, I have seen grown people white with fear weeks afterwards.
There are other means of connecting with that spirit world, for guidance, if approached with the same reverence and respect for the question and the answer. The I Ching or The Runes. When I have calmed enough to be able to concentrate and 'ask the right question' I do receive a proper reply. Most book shops now promulgate all kinds of versions of those two age old tools of prayer, but there are but three that are properly written because they are ancient tried and tested.
So, do you use such Tools? Do you think that I am nuts? Do you think it is nonsense?
