I never go that deep. My husband has ... he once went so deep I thought he was dead (a story too long to tell in writing) I've actually thought something was wrong with me because I ALWAYS maintain contact with this reality when I journey. Granted, I've corked off during a few journeys but they were benign journeys, not trying to seek information. You can just sort of wander around the astral realm. Although, I do suspect the fact that I've got some very, very powerful spiritual guides has gone a lot further to take care of me than I know I used to be sort of trusting over there, but I also was limiting myself to journeying on the astral level (the higher world). The lower world is a little different. Not a good place to go if you're not comfortable with shadow work.

You know the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher appears

If nothing else, you can learn a lot from the spiritual guides you encounter on journeys and just trusting your instinct. My HP is a sharp witch, too, and now she's being mentored by one of the most potent, for lack of a better word, spiritual teachers who is currently alive. Interesting times. As a coven we're currently doing Egyptian alchemical stuff following the solar cycle for a year. I'm not entirely comfortable with it, but the ancient Egyptians were shamans, too. The magic is real and potent and a really viable way to connect with higher self/personal/universal energy but the formality and bowing and adulation is hard to deal with when you consider yourself more a "roll in the dirt pagan," which I do (qabala and tantra aside LOL).

new names for the conference:

the mack 10
steers and queers
texas hold'em



sad to see nebraska leave because i don't want texas to play in a weak ass football conference. Winning out definitely won't guarantee a championship bid anymore =/ not really sure what the solution is

I'm glad to hear she's recoverying.

Oh, I think I understood where you were coming from. What's chewing my ass is I'd like to move ahead with some proper training, there's just some stuff you really need to see done and walked through, and honestly, most true shamans are trying to make a living at it and they're not necessarily looking for proteges, they have too many people volunteering already There are teachers out there who offer classes but it adds up.

You'll discover that the whole "ordeal out of left field" in terms of health is a common thread in most "mystery" traditions.

Sure. If he don't put it up I will. Just remind me on Friday

I thought Mosley looked horrible in that fight, too tight, making rookie mistakes.

I think Manny can take Mayweather. From everything I have read Mayweather is the one who doesn't want this fight to happen. I do not think the fight will happen though.

I missed the Cotto Foreman fight. I need to watch that. I didn't know Manny Steward was training Cotto. That made a huge difference in the fight IMO.

I loooooved the first band of horses album. The lead singer departed from the band and moved from Seatle to S Carolina. Their sound changed greatly with the new rythim section. I do dig their new album though.

I'm going to download some Charolette Gainsbourg tonight

Not sure about game 6 yet, need to see the spread. Vegas knows well that a lot of people will be taking LA regardless, I'm guessing the spread will end up around 6 which is a lot of points. LA only got 3 while playing in Boston game 5.




SL has a lot of embedded homo in him

if you bring it up to cane he'll probably just give it back to you

lol that was a k laundering thread only
