Perspective

Umpire’s eye

I have no idea what to do. It seems that the more you give advice, the deeper the hole you dig. So why give advice at all?
Interesting question; advice is given normally because it is sought. Should the seeker ignore the advice and things go awry, how do they choose to heap all the blame on the giver?
How do seekers choose advisors? Do they perceive that the advisor is sorted, and has life and all it’s vagaries under their complete control? Is this what they want to emulate – a perception of control?
If this is so... seeker it may be ignored.
Why then continue to ask for advice?
Why then continue to give it?
From the lofty heights of the Umpire’s Chair great perspective can be gleaned. It’s a long way up and so things that are happening at baseline level may be missed and if you have no other recourse then the Umpire has the last word.
It is a long way up, how did the Umpire get to be there? Someone chose them for the job.
The more information we have the more choice we may have.
But, only if we ask the right and pertinent questions.

Even Indiana Jones recognises the need for space

Just in case anyone was wondering the line in Indiana Jones is in Erickson hypnotic language and is used in therapy to get you to do just that - get out of this space and into the space inbetween - this is where change occurs. Because it seems so nonsensical your conscious mind takes it and bounces it off a couple of walls until the unconscious mind picks it up and takes it and you where it should go - into the realms of possibility and suspense of disbelief.

It is also a metaphor for the Quantum field. Which is what all the scientists are arguing about mainly because it proves magic happens in that place - the space between the spaces. It alludes to the many worlds theory - I would recommend reading The Universe Next Door by Marcus Chown or google things like Otto Schroedinger (nasty experiment to prove a premis) then go look at Down the rabbit hole.
All from the search of the Quantum in the Universe - all scientific - all about being two places at once and the 'What if?' train of thought - which is what we need at this time in the world - like What if we stopped being arrogant, selfish, whingeing , me first, I want what you have GIVE IT TO ME NOW OR ELSE little shits, how many wars would that stop from being started - how may lives would it save if we taught not bigotry but a sense of responsibility for our choices? How much happier would we be?

Eyes to see in the Dark


The Tungus tribe of Northern Siberia coined
The word ‘Shaman’ to mean a healer, or one with
Eyes to see in the dark. It’s quite a talent, to see in
Dark for there are many different kinds of darkness.
There is the darkness of depression, low energy and
Low self esteem. The darkness of apathy, life is passing
By and all you can say is ‘so what’.

There are many different ways to be healed, there are no
Instant cures. Shamanic healing will take you to
find allies and give you resources to enable you to
find the passion that you once had; giving you a way to
Say goodbye to the past while still honouring it’s
part in your life’s journey, and your life is a journey, how you proceed with it will depend on you and the choices you make along the way.

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if…? There are many theories on this subject and it is now no longer in the realm of the impossible and not even in the improbable it now lies in the possible. Quantum physics is daily pushing the boundaries of what we suspect to the edge and beyond of what we know. For some, these have been revelations, for others merely justifications of long held beliefs now becoming fact.
Not just anecdotally but specifically and proven by eminent scientists, the quantum worlds are waiting for us to jump right in and find out how many ways there are to calculate the probabilities of what is in the box.
Otto Schroedinger could explain that one better than I.




More than 50,000 years ago, there were people who didn’t know what a box was, so they didn’t put themselves or situations in one. They saw everything as a new possibility, a new challenge and they went out to meet that challenge with a specific outcome in mind. How do I know this? Cave paintings and artefacts found at archaeological digs prove the posit that positive thinking is nothing new, it is in fact something we have had to learn all over again. We kind of lost it somewhere in the era of industrial enlightenment.
The day they switched on a light bulb something inside of us switched off.
The dark is a verdant and amazing thing, light casts only shadow which is such a flimsy facsimile of the dark that we seek to control.

The shadows are places of confusion and there lie the monsters. There are no real edges, no markers in shadow; everything is ephemeral and constantly shifting with every small change of light. So, really, depression and apathy are shadows. In the most part for some reason we are taught at an early age to fear the dark – the creatures of the night are weird and wonderful, but usually deadly… at least to the others in their nocturnal world.

Things that live in the light fear things that live in the dark; if light is so wonderful why is the womb, the safest place you will ever be, not illuminated somehow?

Or is the dark of the womb the light of creation?
