Surprised, nervous, and anxious are those visible emotions that linger on your face when you first become aware of a psychic experience. At first, experiences such as intuitively knowing something is going to happen before it does or knowing someone's thoughts before they speak them may seem bewildering and outwardly supernatural.

Unless you were aware of these psychic episodes as a child, they may appear to occur sporadic and infrequent in the beginning but your anticipation will keep you hoping and praying to experience another round of psychic impressions. It is normal to feel a bit removed from reality, psychic experiences have never been treasured as a "down -to-earth" occurrence in the American society but is becoming more acceptable. The close attention you give to your psychic experience, the more frequent they become and the more you pay attention to your intuition the more feedback you will receive.

The sixth sense uses all of your five senses to communicate messages such as a vision. This psychic experience involves isolated images you see before your eyes or dream like imagery with your eyes closed. As you become more adept in understanding visions and dreams, you begin to be in more control and able to navigate your experience by concentrating on a particular location allowing you to remote view anyone and anywhere you direct your attention.

Sounds like music or voices really grab your attention. Your heart starts pounding, tears welling up in your eyes, the hair on your arms or the back of your neck standing straight up. These are those a-ha moments when you swear beyond a shadow of doubt that there is indeed life after this world because you just heard it!

From the moment you experience the intoxicating aroma of a vintage perfume or the lingering scent of a cigar from out of the blue, you are instantly entranced with all the possibilities of the psychic information you just received through smell.

There is absolutely no discomfort in the experiences of psychic impressions and there is so much to gain in knowledge, wisdom, and insights that you would otherwise never experience. Whether it is the touch of a fine silk scarf or the warm touch of a handshake, your intuitive perception is capable of unraveling mysteries and secrets of whatever you touch.

The richness of chocolates, or any other taste sensation of sweet, sour, bitter or salty flavors ascribe to psychic interpretation of experience.

The awareness of those first initial psychic impressions often trigger memories of countless of psychic moments you have had throughout your life. The only difference is that you are now aware and alert to your own sixth sense. The importance is not whether you are having a vision or hearing a sound or voice, but what the visions and sounds reveal to you and what to do with the information you receive.

Your personal experiences with psychic impressions will always enrich your life with uplifting memories, teachings, adventure, do-it-yourself know how and much more. Staying connected to the world around you is in itself an experience of psychic perception.

Plasma Life Forms - Aliens From a Parallel Earth
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jay_Alfred]Jay Alfred

The Basic Plasma Metaphysics Theory in 3+1 Dimensions

According to plasma metaphysics (Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006), the physical-dense Earth is gravitationally coupled to a counterpart dark matter Earth composed of low density plasma. This "sister" Earth was co-accreted with the physical-dense Earth about 4.6 billion years ago from dark matter components in the embryonic Solar System. Plasma life forms evolved on this counterpart Earth, just like it did on the visible planet. These life forms were as varied in scale, structure and intelligence as carbon-based life forms - as different as a microbe from a whale; a mosquito from a tiger; a giraffe from a crocodile; an ant from a human being. Their degrees of intelligence and awareness were as different as a centipede's awareness to the awareness and intelligence of homo sapiens. Homo sapiens evolved carbon-based bodies that formed symbiotic relationships with some of these plasma life forms (indicating a type of symbio-genesis). Some of these plasma life forms have interacted with us in the past (intentionally or unintentionally).

The entities that we have identified as ghosts, angels, demons, deities (for example the Marian apparitions in the atmosphere), aliens (associated with UFO sightings in the atmosphere), fairies, sightings of the recently deceased (on the surface of the Earth) and balls of light which appear to go through physical barriers (without contracting) are all plasma life forms from this counterpart Earth.

Properties of Bioplasma Bodies

Plasma life forms have bioplasma bodies. These are electromagnetic bodies which generate electromagnetic fields and radiate electromagnetic waves. Embedded in these bioplasma bodies are "plasma antennae" which can tune-in and receive electromagnetic waves generated by other bioplasma bodies. (Plasma antennae are actually being used today in scientific laboratories.) The bodies of plasma life forms that we encounter are molded by our expectations which radiate out from our own bioplasma bodies in the form of electromagnetic waves and are received by them through their embedded antennae (see Jay Alfred, Between the Moon and Earth, 2007). The nearer they come to you the better they are able to tune-in to the thought waves (i.e. electromagnetic waves which are modulated by your thoughts) you are radiating out from your bioplasma body. For example, in the Marian apparitions at Fatima (Portugal), the children saw a ball of light which resolved into a man-like angel as it got nearer to the children.

Psychokinetic effects have a much greater effect on bioplasma bodies compared to the physical-dense body. The reason for this is that the total rest mass of a bioplasma body is very much lower than the physical-dense body. The extremely low rest mass can also give bioplasma bodies a more pronounced macro-quantum effect (compared to macroscopic objects in our universe) due to the de Broglie relationship (see Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006).

According to plasma metaphysics, (dark matter) bioplasma bodies are composed of a complex plasma of non-standard particles. Non-standard particles are particles that are outside the physicists' Standard Model and which are included in dark matter - matter which is six times more prevalent in the known universe than ordinary matter.

"We will realise that most of the encounters with aliens or ghosts are really sporadic encounters with beings from parallel interpenetrating Earth-based magmaspheres. These aliens are dark matter entities...which generally do not register on the known electromagnetic spectrum - but can do so if their frequencies are brought down..." - Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006

Bioplasma bodies composed of non-standard particles glow in the dark, radiate heat, light and other electromagnetic waves that can be measured by our scientific instruments like radar or even infra-red cameras when ordinary matter condenses around them. They also possess other properties associated with these types of bodies (see Jay Alfred, Angels, Ghosts, Deities and their Magnetic Plasma Bodies, 2007 ). The general characteristics of plasma life forms (based on Jay Alfred's 2006 book: Our Invisible Bodies) include the following:

- They emit light (not simply reflect them)

- They are thermochromic (i.e. they change colors at different temperatures)

- They generate colorful auras and halos as high energy particles collide with them.

- They are able to change their degree of opacity - becoming transparent or translucent. Hence, they can apparently materialize and dematerialize.

- They generate electromagnetic fields and radiate electromagnetic waves.

- They are responsive to electromagnetic fields and waves and can have an electrical feel when passing through our bodies.

- They have networks of filamentary currents within their bodies.

- Double helical currents, aligned with the longer axis of their bodies may be discerned.

- They possess rotating orifices that suck in and emit high energy particles.

- They can emit beams of high energy particles from these orifices.

- Their shapes can vary (hence they can shape-shift) but the most stable shape is the ball of light.

- Shapes between a spheroid and a cylinder, ovoid or lenticular are also possible as the plasma membrane is resilient and elastic and can be stretched by the denser matter inside.

- Just like amoeba they can generate temporary limbs (like pseudopods).

- Vortexes and misty irregularly formed primitive plasma life forms also exist.

- Within the ovoid is a denser body which varies from one plasma life form to another.

- A bi-layered plasma (Langmuir) sheath encloses the ovoid.

- They are able to pass through each other in the same way that objects composed of collisionless plasma or dark matter do.

- Very low rest mass.

Some ancient cultures have described bioplasma bodies which are coupled to our carbon-based bodies as "souls". This is not surprising due to their quasi-quantum behavior, their unusual methods of transport, apparent ability to effect action at a distance; and decoupling on the death of the carbon-based body.

Behavior of Plasma Life Forms

Behavior can vary due to the diversity of plasma life forms. Plasma life (let's say with intelligence equivalent to octopuses) may express their curiosity by coming near to see or feel objects that seem strange to them from their frame of reference. More intelligent life forms (equivalent to homo sapiens) may actually conduct experiments. Groups of plasma life forms may exhibit swarm behavior (similar to bats, birds and fishes) with synchronized movements.

Biomechanics of Plasma Life Forms

They move generally by neutralizing or reversing their electric charge and/or redistributing the electric charges in their bodies relative to the background electric field. They may also move by changing their density. Another method of active transport is by sucking in energy particles through their orifices in the direction of the motion. The suction generates a drift.

When they fall in energy sporadically and are visible to us or our scientific instruments in the lower atmosphere, fast-moving plasma life forms will generate only weak sonic booms. This is because they are composed of collisionless plasma and have a very low rest mass. Ultra-sensitive instruments in close proximity to the entity should be able to pick up the weak sonic boom.

Plasma may be considered to be collisionless when Coulomb interactions are so rare that global fields in the plasma govern the dynamics. A magnetic field endows a collisionless plasma with elastic properties analogous to those of a dense gas and so a plasma wave crossing a magnetic field behaves somewhat like an ordinary sound wave. The Earth's magnetosphere is composed almost entirely of ionized collisionless plasma and is dominated by the Earth's magnetic field. Fast moving plasma life forms would therefore be expected to generate collisionless shock waves in the magnetosphere rather than in the lower atmosphere.

Parallel Plasma Earth - The Habitat of Plasma Life Forms

The counterpart dark matter Earth, composed of low density plasma and co-rotating with our visible Earth, can effectively be considered another planet. The sporadic interactions with plasma-based beings, who may appropriately be called "aliens" (since they are, strictly speaking, from another planet - although a counterpart Earth), can be studied in a more rigorous scientific framework once our current technology improves to take into account non-standard particles. All human beings are the symbiotic products of carbon-based bodies and (alien) plasma-based bodies.

Near-death experiences, astral traveling, (genuine) alien encounters, angelic visitations, apparitions of saints or deities - both privately to individuals and to the public at large leading to mass sightings (such as the Marian apparitions or swarms of UFOs in the atmosphere) occur in this higher energy dark matter counterpart Earth and are superimposed on our more familiar Earth depending on the type of encounter (see below).

This parallel Earth is composed wholly of plasma (unlike our physical-dense Earth, which although it contains a plasmasphere, magnetosphere and ionosphere, is largely a rocky outcrop). Hence, while the biosphere of the physical-dense Earth occupies only a small volume of the Earth i.e. largely confined to plus or minus 10km from sea level (which is less than 1% of the volume of the Earth), the plasma Earth is wholly composed of plasma making it more like a gigantic plasma ocean and having a "tear-drop" shape similar to Earth's magnetosphere. The biosphere of this counterpart Earth is therefore many times larger than the physical Earth and life forms often move in all three dimensions quite extensively (i.e. like fishes in the sea, not like human beings on the surface of the Earth). There is enormous biodiversity in this oceanic plasma planet which teems with life.

Plasma objects which sporadically appear in our atmosphere are actually floating or swimming in this ocean. They are therefore able to dart back and forth (like squid, cuttlefish and octopuses) or swim majestically (like manta rays). Plasma life forms in the atmosphere have been seen at Marian apparitions, in Chinese history as dragons and other ancient civilizations (see Plasma Cosmology) and modern UFO sightings.

Types of Encounters with Plasma Life Forms

Encounters with plasma life forms can be classified as follows:

Type 1 Encounter: This is an encounter with an ordinary matter plasma life form using the cognitive-sensory system of our carbon-based body in our familiar ordinarily visible Earth.

Type 2 Encounter: This is an encounter with a dark matter plasma life form whose energy level has fallen temporarily to allow ordinary matter in our familiar ordinarily visible Earth to condense around it.

Type 3 Encounter: This is an encounter with a dark matter plasma life form using the cognitive-sensory system of our bioplasma body and takes place wholly in the plasmasphere of the counterpart Earth.

Type 4 Encounter: This is an encounter where there is a dual state of consciousness - both the cognitive-sensory systems of the carbon-based body and bioplasma body are operating. In this case, the plasma life form in the counterpart Earth is superimposed on our familiar ordinarily visible Earth.

So, why do they not land at the White House?

The SETI Institute's program objective in trying to find intelligent life outside Earth is to some extent misguided. The aliens that are most frequently encountered and that can be considered "intelligent life" do not travel at light speed within our low energy physical universe nor do they have any technology to undertake intergalactic or interstellar travel. They are co-inhabitants of the Earth system - which includes the visible Earth and its dark matter counterpart. (It is therefore not surprising that they often express concern about the health of the planet. Why would a distant extra-terrestrial civilization be so concerned about our little planet?)

Although they co-evolved with us, they are likely to have evolved at a faster rate. V N Tsytovich of the Russian Academy of Sciences argues that helical dust structures in plasma would have a "faster evolutionary rate" in his 2007 paper on plasma life forms. This is also supported by Jay Alfred's concept of "accelerated morphogenesis" of bioplasma bodies (see Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006). Hence, this plasma-based civilization could be expected to be more advanced than us.

Nevertheless, despite the headstart, this civilization would also be probably struggling to understand parallel universes and may not be as capable of controlling their technology or society to the extent that we imagine. They would face difficulties in interacting with us as we do in trying to interact with them. As a civilization they would have government, political and social structures; and culture. They are likely to be superior in communications technology using bioplasma bodies since they would obviously be more familiar with these types of bodies compared to us. This includes the ability to communicate with bioplasma bodies that are coupled to our carbon-based bodies. We may interpret this as telepathy.

Based on current technology it is unlikely that the world will believe of any interactions with these aliens even if they were caught on camera talking to the President of the United States. All that would be reported in the media is the sighting of a "ghost" at the White House. (These aliens are ghost-like as they are plasma life forms, just like ghosts.) Communication would be intermittent and weak due to incompatible technology on both sides of the energy curtain separating carbon-based life forms from plasma-based life forms. Medical doctors will opine that they are hallucinations and the case will then be lumped-up with all the other "ghost stories" and shelved away. Perhaps our neighbors on "sister Earth" are quite acquainted with human nature and our feeble scientific attempts to understand them. Maybe they even fear that we will harm them with our growing technological sophistication.

Why do some people see it and some don't?

The wide range of sensory systems in the animal kingdom has already been discussed elsewhere (see Jay Alfred, Brains and Realities, 2006). Unlike the bees we are not able to sense ultra-violet light nor can we hear sounds or smell what our pet dogs can hear and smell. Even within a population of human beings the sensitivity of the sensory systems can be significantly varied. It is quite obvious that even the old and young have very different sensory ranges.

Recently, a certain type of mobile phone became very popular. These phones had telephone ring tones which could only be heard by the young but not the old. The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds when they undergo "presbycusis" or "aging ear". If there was only 1 teenager in a population of 100 persons, the rest being much older, only that teen will be able to hear the ring tone. Assuming that we are one of the 99 older persons, should we then conclude that this young person is having an auditory hallucination when he hears the ring tone? The obvious answer is "no". But this type of argument has been unashamedly and repeatedly accepted by skeptics who claim to be using the "scientific method". One skeptic says, "I will not believe it until everybody is able to see it". This is clearly ludicrous. It is a scientific fact that the sensory ranges and acuity of a population of human beings can vary significantly. Now if we bring in the fact that certain people can transfer their locus of consciousness (whether intentionally or more often unintentionally) more easily to the sensory systems of their linked bioplasma bodies, we will find even greater differences.

Dark matter objects, in (the nearest frequency) counterpart Earth, interact with ordinary matter in our visible Earth when their energy levels temporarily fall due to a variety of reasons and ordinary matter condenses around them. Often this may lead to the generation of electromagnetic fields and radiation which may be picked up by our scientific instruments or even become visible to us if the radiation falls within the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because of this, plasma metaphysics calls this type of matter in our nearest Earth counterpart "gray matter" as it straddles between ordinary and dark matter.

By switching-off relevant (and specific) brain circuits, a person may transfer his or her locus of consciousness to a bioplasma body which has the relevant sensory apparatus to be able to view the plasma life forms currently inhabiting our counterpart Earth. UFO sightings often occur when a person is taking a long car ride in a featureless area (like a desert). This provides the ideal conditions for a person to go into a meditative state and effect a transfer of consciousness to parallel bodies with different cognitive-sensory systems - landing them in our plasma-based counterpart Earth. In this type of encounter, it is not so much a case of the aliens visiting our visible Earth but it is us who are dropping-by, uninvited, an alien Earth environment.

Where did the Aliens go after I took the Medication?

Medication cuts-off awareness of alien attacks on our bioplasma bodies because it normalizes brain functions. In this case, the brain circuits that were "switched-off", allowing the locus of consciousness to be transferred to the bioplasma body which had the necessary sensory systems to view the relevant plasma life forms, had been restored and "switched-on" again. This cuts-off conscious contact with the counterpart Earth environment. The relevant brain circuits (particularly in the parietal and temporal lobes - see Jay, Alfred, Brains and Realities, 2006) may be switched-off physically through surgery, accidents like brain injuries, transcranial magnetic stimulation and ambient electromagnetic fields which simulates brain lesions; chemically through psychoactive or spiritual drugs; psychologically through meditation or hypnosis or during sleep.

How do they go through Walls?

The bioplasma body is composed of collisionless dark plasma (i.e. magnetic plasma in the form of dark matter). This allows it to pass through walls just as dark matter does or float through windows using electromagnetic guides. What the witnesses in alien abductions and Marian apparitions are often viewing is the counterpart Earth environment superimposed on the physical dense Earth. There is much evidence of this (see Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006). Hence, only some people who have shifted their locus of consciousness to their bioplasma bodies can actually witness the abduction. A group of people who shared the same environmental conditions (for example, four people in a car being driven over a featureless desert which generates meditative conditions) may simultaneous witness the abduction. The victim's body that participates in "alien abductions" is the bioplasma body - not the physical-biochemical body which undergoes sleep paralysis during these episodes.

The environment in which this body finds itself is the plasmasphere of our sister Earth. The physics relating to this environment, although fundamentally the same as our physics (extended to higher energy levels), can be quite different from what we experience in our daily lives on the lower energy physical-dense Earth in our carbon-based bodies. It can get somewhat confusing when our perceptions oscillate between the two Earth environments due to fluctuations in our locus of consciousness and their corresponding sensory-cognitive systems - leading sometimes to a superimposed environment. This superimposition also explains why we see ball lightning apparently going through walls or other physical objects. Balls of light are common in the counterpart Earth environment.

Why is there Electromagnetic Interference?

Interference by electric and magnetic fields betray the presence of plasma life forms. In fact, electromagnetic interference, in the absence of other obvious sources, confirms that we are dealing with bioplasma bodies. Bioplasma bodies generate electromagnetic fields and radiate high frequency electromagnetic waves which are currently not measurable by our scientific instruments. However, when their energly levels fall (intentionally or unintentionally) and ordinary matter condenses around them, this ordinary matter then radiates temporarily lower frequency (stepped-down) electromagnetic waves that can be detected by our current scientific instruments such as radar and even infra-red cameras. There is much, not only UFO literature, but also ghost literature which documents electromagnetic interference which points to the presence of plasma life forms.

What about the Marks on the Body?

It is has been documented in the metaphysical literature that marks on the physical-biochemical body may be caused by impacts to the nearest frequency dark matter body or the "physical-etheric" bioplasma body. This is often referred to as "repercussions" in the general metaphysical literature. The body of a human being which participates in an "alien abduction" is not the physical-biochemical body but the (physical-etheric) bioplasma body. If this bioplasma body is impacted, the physical-biochemical body can be impacted - similar to what happens in many reported reincarnation cases (see Jay Alfred, Extreme Biology, 2008). (Note that in the wider plasma metaphysics theory, there is a series of bioplasma bodies covering a spectrum of frequencies which fall outside the known electromagnetic spectrum. The physical-etheric body or the "Level 3" bioplasma body has the frequency closest to our carbon-based body.)

Should I move towards the Light?

While alien abductees see the light as threatening and are drawn to it unwillingly, near-death experiencers feel and see the light as being benevolent and wise and intentionally float towards it. As explained by plasma metaphysics (Jay Alfred, Our Invisible Bodies, 2006), the counterpart Earth is a habitat for billions of plasma life forms - many of which appear as balls of light in their natural state. The identity of the light can therefore vary from situation to situation.

Can you get me a Plasma Gun?

The natural ability of bioplasma bodies to direct beams of light using vortices and magnetic fields (similar to what happens in a coaxial plasma accelerator) within the bioplasma body has already been discussed in the plasma metaphysics model (See Jay Alfred, Bioplasma Bodies - Emission of Radiation and Plasma via Plasma Vortex Systems, 2007).

But, seriously, are they Real?

It is well-established in cognitive science that the world as we see it is a construction of the brain. The environment which an abductee experiences, in a similar process, is also constructed from the cognitive system of the corresponding bioplasma body. To say that our world is more real than the alternative counterpart Earth is a kind of egocentricity that was prevalent before the 15th century. Europe is not the center of the world; the Earth is not in the center of the Solar System; the Solar System is not in the center of the Milky Way; the Milky Way is not in the center of the universe nor is our universe the centre of our multiverse. If that is the case, then the biochemical brain of one species of life form, just evolved on a tiny rock in space, cannot be the sole arbiter of reality.

During the first century A.D. Europeans had very little or no contact with India, China or the Americas due to the state of technology at that point of time. Europeans had weird ideas and generated fantastic tales about these "parallel" civilizations. Some Europeans even doubted or did not know of their existence and most did not even think about them. But today we talk about a global village which comprises a multitude of nations. Today, parallel universes and parallel Earths are the new frontiers. Scientists who prefer to remain in their comfort zones - to tinker with only what they can measure with today's scientific instruments will miss the opportunity to make bold strides in understanding the multiverse - starting with the Earth itself.

Conclusion

The plasma metaphysics model explains a wide variety of phenomena associated with genuine sightings of aliens, ghosts, deities, angels by both individuals and groups - using an internally consistent scientific framework. These sightings betray the presence of plasma-based life forms originating from a counterpart sister Earth gravitationally coupled to the visible Earth. (This hypothesis may be cited as the "Parallel Earth" hypothesis.) These terrestrial aliens (whether they be ghosts, fairies, grays, deities or angels) share common properties and may even shed light on the evolution of carbon-based life and consciousness on the Earth that we are most familiar with.

Psychic Overload Recovery

"Psychic Overload Recovery" is a journal entry based on recent life experiences by Barbara Garica.

Photo: Time Lapse by Ali Vasquez

Interacting with multidimensional realities, telepathic influx, and other-worldly intrusions can cause a tremendous imbalance and disruption in the daily routine of life especially when trying to stay rational in the midst of phone calls, email, faxes and the door bell. Not to mention being super mom or dad in addition to taking care of the senior citizen setting in your living room. Sound familiar? If so, then you are a developed psychic on the brink of overload which can cause your ESP function to temporarily shutdown. When this occurs your mind is foggy, your senses dulled to the point of feeling like a zombie. You go through your day without being present.

Weather you are a professional psychic with a busy practice or a psychic climbing the corporate ladder in disguise, here is some advice that just might bring back some balance in your life. Close your agenda and clear yourself of any and all distractions. The sooner you prioritize the wellness of the psychic function in your mind as the body, the better your life will be, the more comfortable you’ll feel, and the deeper you will sleep.

If there is anyone in your life that is capable of counsel, you are very lucky. You can upload and transmit psychic experiences and voyages in the presence of a flesh and blood, non judgmental human being. The majority of us do not have such a person in our lives; we have become our own counselor.

I have found the best recovery from psychic overload is to consciously launch my mind into the darkness, the nothingness, adrift in the stillness of space. Even a few seconds of psi stillness eases the demands of my psychic lifestyle. Once the quiet has enveloped every nook and cranny of your being, you begin to experience that blessed “detachment” of all those previous concerns. When this occurs, you are on the road to recovery. No more panic, no more feeling overwhelmed.

Everything will get better in your life as soon as you incorporate a minimum of 5 minutes of solitude in your daily schedule. Even your relationships with the kids or your spouse will improve. As to all the mistakes you think you made at the office, on your computer, god forbid- your bank account, don’t worry, everything will get straightened out. With one foot firmly rooted in the non- physical and one foot firmly rooted in the physical worlds, you once again walk in harmony with your destiny path.

Tending Your Psychic Garden

Tending Your Psychic Garden
By Barbara Garcia

Now that you have had an “Introduction to Psychic Gardens” and you have established your “Psychic Garden Rapport”, it is now time to learn how to tend your psychic garden.

The nature of all things on our planet is circular; snow drops, trees, flowers, everything, including you and me. Therefore, tending your psychic garden should be in the same fashion. Through the simple act of plucking a blade of grass, the circular form of its root, you begin to understand that the specific function of all life has no beginning nor ending.

Tilling the earth clockwise around your plants and trees may seem mysterious and illogical; however, it is in direct harmony with the flow of life. Fertilizing with organic materials promotes the healthy growth of your garden and a healthy environment for you. A blanket of mulch and a little water completes the basic care.

Your water features should be kept free of debris. If you have placed quarts or crystals in the water, they should be charged with solar energy once a month by laying them out in the sun for a day or two.

Considering that we are not separate from our environment, tending your psychic garden is rejuvenating and a pleasure. This is your garden of psychic exploration; therefore, responsible gardening will help in your development.

With each weed that you remove from your garden, focus on what it is that you want eliminated from your life. The psychic connection of this action has a ripple effect of healing your life through conscious direction.

With each seed that you plant, focus on the new ideas and goals that you would like for your life. As the seeds sprout in your garden, the manifestation of your ideas and goals will sprout in your life.

Your psychic garden provides you with renewal of spirit and balance of mind as you telepathically connect to every plant, tree, bird, or animal that abides within its perimeters.

Anger and frustrations of your day will become almost non existence as you learn to release these harmful emotions. The technique is to place your hands palm down upon the grass. Draw the harmful emotion down through your arms to the palms of your hands and then out into the grass. Don’t worry; you are not harming the grass with your negative projections. The grass that takes on this charge will transmit them into ions. Within minutes you are completely relaxed and at peace.

The healing energy of your psychic garden will become apparent in all aspects of your life. Your psychic capabilities will have become enormously magnified and expanded in perfect harmony with the growth rate of the garden itself.

As your understanding of your psychic garden increases, you will become more aware of subtle vibrations and emanations, of which you have had no previous knowledge, have been preserved within the circumference of life cycles. The importance of tending your garden becomes a heightened awareness of the preservation of the planet of which you have become a participant.

Life is Beautiful

No matter what comes our way each day, the very fact that it does and that we are living each day is a gift. The following article by Kimi Hendrix expresses thoughts about life that I believe we have all pondered at one time or other. It is a privelege and a pleasure to present "The Life" to you.

The Life

By

Kimi Hendrix

http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kimi_Hendrix

It's insanely fast how time goes by. We live our daily lives, hoping that each day will be better. Days fly, people come and go in our lives and each of them leaves an imprint in our hearts; a glimpse or as Umbrella says...an image to our memory. You learn something from these people that makes you a better person, whether it is directly or something you learn passively by observing their actions.

You come across people you wish you didn't meet, and then you meet people you want to stay longer but don't. I guess it's all what God wants. People come, serve there purpose in your life for however long it takes them, and then they just merge back into the mainstream.

Sometimes you want them to stay around for longer. You want them so much that it hurts. Aren't you just glad enough that they were just part of your life, even though they're moving on with their own? Some say it's like a tease - "You know you want me, you've had a taste but you can't have". Maybe it is for a bit, but in the end, it's just something you'd look back on a couple of years, cringe and laugh about with your friends over dinner somewhere.

It's sometimes sad to see things change, to see people grow up, to experience the rapid effect of time on our life. It feels like time is running out. And out time on earth is getting shorter, so we must do something more with our life for God. And that doesn't necessarily mean waiting for the right day to come or doing something extraordinary.

Start by just building up what you think, say and do on a daily basis, because it's only each day you can handle. There's just so much you can do in one day and every minute of it has to be offered up for the Lord.

The things we say every minute, the stuff we do around the house, the way we present ourselves when going out, the tone of voice we use to our parent - we can change this and really monitor whatever we want to improve so that these little things can build up into an overall better life. Isn't that what life is - a collection of single days after each other? If we are gonna live, make it worthwhile and enjoyable, both for God and for ourselves.

The way we live each day,
is the way we live our lives.

I thank God so much to live this life... to be able to experience life on earth, and to be able to converse with so many different people in my life. I thank you for me being able to experience myself. Why we do things the way we do... Why we were like that when we were younger...

Being able to meet such inspirational people, and even more gratefully, allowing them to become a part of your life... being that image to your memory. The act of sharing in each other's knowledge and wisdom and what they have to offer in making you a better person in the eyes of God is absolutely incredible.

Life is beautiful.

"It's interesting how people come in and out (come and go) in your life. It's funny how you can just meet or know a person for such a short period of time yet they can have such a phenomenal impact in your life."

Epilogue
We can sit here and regret experiences and dwell on them, but isn't it better to learn from it and be better next time? The words of Aaliyah - "If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again" say it all. You gotta do what you gotta do, just to make it through (the legendary Alicia Keys).

Psychic Garden Raport

A psychic garden is an adventure of many different dimensions. It is a personal relationship: with the living intelligences of nature, with the spirit visitors that you invite into the garden and most of all, with yourself and your multidimensional mind.

One of the most beautiful things about a psychic garden is that it communicates through images and unity rather than the harsh concepts of words from the intellect. The images you see in the plants, the flowers, the trees or water features lend themselves well to the intuition and to your interpretations that are not etched in a study of metaphysics.

If it is not clear of what you are psychically receiving, I suggest that you let go of your analysis and not get too hung up on the message, but rather, consider where you are at the moment. Breathe in the essence of unity that your garden generates and join with your own sense of unity.

The miracle of the psychic garden is in the healing of mind, body and spirit. We draw from the garden everything it is that we need for rejuvenation. Our senses are heightened, our worries dissolve and the plans we have for our life are declared.

The architectural blueprints in the wild of nature is of course the most influential for psychic communication but the effectiveness of a created psychic garden is capable of producing the same. One of the ways to create a strong source of energy in your garden is through the use of copper and natural clear quartz. By placing them in the four corners of your garden, they will draw energy into the resonance matrix of each and every physical and non physical entity within its diameters.

Materials: Copper poles ½ to 1 in. circumference and 1to 2 feet long. (You can purchase the copper pole at your local hardware store and they will even cut at the length you specify.
Copper wire: Most Arts and Crafts shops carry copper wire- be sure to buy extra for future projects.

Clear Quartz: You are sure to find natural clear quartz in your local lapidary shop. You will need eight of them. Take one of your cut poles with you so that you can choose the size. You will be securing the quartz in both ends of your pole with your copper wire.

Preparation: Insert copper wire through the pole and wrap around quartz. Make sure you have about ½ of the quartz protruding outside the pole. Secure the other end in the same manner.
Insert your pole into the ground leaving half out into the open. Continue with the remaining three poles. The effects of these energy poles are immediate. You may feel the frequency pulsating on your skin at first.

Situating yourself in the center is ideal for rapport with the nature spirits, animal, rock, plant and water intelligences within your garden. It is also the perfect place to ask particular questions and receive answers. You will notice that psychic information is quickly perceived and your visions clear and vivid.

All of your senses and your extrasensory capacities are heightened with each session in your garden. You will learn how to manage the energy, the rapid influx of psychic sensations, and the indescribability of your experience as you transit your reality through each season.

As the seasons change, your psychic garden will absorb the positive information and dissolve the negativity that is directed your way, by means of the power source you have created with your copper poles. These frequency waves also have a healthy effect on your vegetation, water sources and animal life.

As you establish a deeper rapport with the intelligences of the garden, expect visitations of other unexplained life forms such as orbs and/or other world life forms. Some of these may be etheric, dimensional and physical. Depending upon your location and surrounding natural structures, your psychic garden may also expand, and evolve into a portal through time and space.

The sanctuary of your psychic garden allows you to develop naturally and remain in a natural healthy state as you explore the alternate realities of your existence, independent of barriers, blocks, or restrictions.

Omens of Love

By Barbara Garcia

Veiled in mystery and romance comes February's day of love every year in every culture around the world throughout the ages. We set aside this day to entertain the passions of our heart amid flurries of fantasies, superstitions, and omens. In the following collection of centuries old omens are some that are ever so popular today. Lucky is the young lady who is kissed under mistletoe for example. However, it is bad luck if she refused the kiss, she remains a spinster.

• If a groom sees his bride on the wedding day before they are wed, the marriage is fated in bad luck.

• To ensure a long and happy marriage, the bride must wear something old, something borrowed and something blue. If she tears her wedding dress or burst a seam, her husband will be mean.

• Ever wonder why lilacs are not as popular as roses on Valentines Day? To give lilacs to your finance is an omen that the engagement will be broken off.

• Never propose in a public place, on a bus, train, or plane, it is considered very bad luck.

• A pearl on an engagement ring induces sadness and unhappiness to the marriage.

• Words of love should always be mailed on Friday because it is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love.

• If you should receive two love letters at the same time from two different people, it is an omen that you will not marry either of them.

• The message of a ladybug is not where it lands but in the direction of where it fly's away-it is the direction of your future love.

• Love at first sight comes on the seventh day after the full moon.

• A burning candle in a window has long been associated with the safe return of a lover. A pink candle burned on Saint Valentine's Day will bring true love.

You may or not believe in these old omens but they are fun to observe and appreciate having survived throughout the ages. There are countless numbers of omens, some of which you may wish to create and incorporate into the little joys of your day.

Endorsing Tools for Manifesting

Endorsing Tools for Manifesting

By
Barbara Garcia


Everyone knows that manifesting is a process. Every day we are lulled into the process with the attention we give it. We look for the synchronicities that follow our intent; we stay open and receptive to the opportunities that arise. We work with pictures, affirmations, and our own thought process as a daily practice in the process of manifesting. Our lives are totally engaged and emerged into the magnificent celestial process of creating.

After manifesting many wonderful things in my life, I have noticed that no sooner than something is manifesting, I get a new desire to work on. Once you know what it is that you want and feel it with all your heart, the Universe simply makes it so.

In my personal experience, I was led to what I consider high tech tools for manifesting. I am experimenting with encoded “Orgone” based creations that truly are the most unique and energetically based tools I have found thus far. I think it is absolutely fantastic that we have these high tech tools available. I wholeheartedly endorse the efforts of http://www.ProtonicCreations.Com and am happy to refer you to them.

Psi Journal offers our Starmerge community the opportunity to read interesting articles, updates, and to join with others through our links, affiliations, and common interest. I encourage you to contact us with your own personal manifesting experiences for posting on Psi Journal so that we may all journey through the universal laws of attraction together.

American Identity

By Nasrin Dastjerdi

Traditionally, researchers of American identity have mostly focused on only two components of American identity: liberalism (America as a land of freedom and opportunity) and ethnoculturalism (America as a nation of white Protestants).

In recent years additional dimensions of American identity have been considered. Two newly overlooked elements of American identity are civil republicanism (America as a vibrant participatory democracy with dutiful citizens) and incorporationalism (America as a diverse nation of immigrants).

The content of American identity: Rooted in liberalism

Recent scholarship has identified complex and often competing components of American identity that are rooted in the widely accepted liberal tradition, civic republican tradition, the contested ethnocultural tradition, and the equally contested incorporationist tradition. This perspective has been termed the "multiple tradition" or multiple conceptions model of the content of American identity.

Liberalism, in short, is the image of America that comes most easily to mind when people think about what it means to be American and is widely seen as the defining essence of American political culture. It stresses minimal government intervention in private life and promotes economic and political freedoms along with equality of opportunity.

Ethnoculturalism has also been a defining element of American identity. It sets boundaries on group membership. In its extreme, ethnoculturalism maintains that Americans are white, English-speaking Protestants of northern European ancestry. Over time this tradition has been discredited, but it is far from breathing its last breath.

Civic republicanism emphasizes the responsibilities, rather than the rights of citizenship. It advances the notion that the well being of the community is more than just the sum of individualistic pursuits of private gain. Rather, a vibrant self-governing community needs individual members to act on its behalf. In his view, we should all be involved in social and political life and pursue ends that serve the public good. As Tocqueville noted, pursuing the public good engenders pride and patriotism, which further motivate people to "labor for the good of the state".

Incorporationalism is a more recent tradition to the set of norms that constitute the content of American identity. The seeds of this tradition were planted nearly a century ago with cultural pluralism, and only in the past few decades have both elites and citizens come to endorse this notion that America's unique identity is grounded in its immigrant legacy and in its ability to convert the challenges immigration brings into thriving strengths. Ethnoculturalism continues to exist, but it does so alongside an incorporationist challenge that has grown stronger over the years due to many factors, including rights-based movements of the 60s and 70s and the political incorporation of immigrants and their descendents.

The simplicity of incorporationism - the idea that the United States is a nation of immigrants - belies complex beliefs about the balance between unity and diversity. While there are people who advocate one extreme of complete assimilation and others reject the premise of assimilation altogether, most Americans do not fall at these extremes. Incorporationism celebrates Americans ability both to assimilate and maintain difference.

The above mentioned elements can make the concept of American Identity which can be studied and measured each separately and widely.
