The Devil: Capricorn
A DREAM OF DEMONS
​
Leathery, withered skin; frayed, ragged wings;
emaciated, bat-like faces. You might see demons
in your mind's eye before they attack, especially
if they wish to terrify before they shake or choke
or prod or poke or hold you down to ravage the heart
or ruin the gut. The smarter ones
avoid showing themselves at all: They only bring an aura
of malice and oppression to amplify feelings of fear,
hatred, guilt, anger, failure, loneliness, and desolation
to assist you on your descent into a deep, dark hole.
The worst don't even cause pain or negative feelings.
They just flood your aura with horrible, dark energy
that eventually shows up as a fatal illness.
They love to attack the vulnerable during times
of illness or depression or loneliness or grief.
You cannot fight the monsters. That only causes
more chaos and negativity, which is what they feed on.
Your best bet is to neutralize them with the invincible forces
of harmony and love in your soul, which connect you
with the powerful, healing forces of the Archangels.
PENDULUM DREAMS: PART FIVE
My parents, as I was growing up, were almost always cold or distant. I asked the pendulum if my parents had resented me. Answer: yes. I asked if the government had forced my parents to adopt me. Yes. My father, I remembered, never once spoke about his experiences in the army. In fact, I once noticed his uniform hanging in the closet while he was getting ready for work, and I asked him about it. He glared at me with both shame and anger on his face, commanding me never to look in his closet again. Had my father done something improper or illegal while in the army in WWII? Yes.
When I was only eight, an uncharacteristic feeling of disconnection cut through me so profoundly that I believed that I might die of loneliness. I began engaging in negative self-talk. Almost fifty years later, pendulum in hand, I wondered if the sense of disconnection had been caused by the experimental drugs. Yes. But I suddenly had an intuition that there might have been another effect as well.
So I blurted out a question, the answer to which will no doubt cause you to question my sanity. According to my pendulum, the experimental hallucinogens also opened up my psychic senses so that I became more sensitive to the subtle energies around me.
Few people, of course, believe that spiritual entities intrude upon our reality. In this society especially, if you admit that you have encountered ghosts, demons, or angels, you might end up in some loony bin as a text-book case of schizophrenia. Demons and ghosts and angels exist, however, and some spiritual beings have great power and intelligence, far more than humans, in fact. Humans are like amoebas in comparison to Archangels. Most humans would not be able to recognize an Archangel any more than an amoeba would be able to recognize a human.
Believing that subtle spiritual realms don't exist is a pathological denial of reality that is perhaps the most common form of collective insanity in our culture, yet I, of course, would be the one diagnosed as having some form of psychosis if I told any doctors or psychologists about my spiritual experiences. It may therefore come as a surprise to a great many people that a significant percentage of "sensitive" people have learned how to work with spiritual entities, for good or for evil. This society's denial and ignorance about such spiritual practices is, no doubt, a constant source of amusement to those who work in secret to ruin hearts and lives.
Once I had a vision of a blue man with multiple arms dancing by the sea in the moonlight. He began spinning around so quickly that his arms resembled a circle of light, which soon transformed into a sparkling galaxy. Suddenly I was in outer space surrounded by innumerable galaxies of different colors and shapes and sizes. I floated peacefully in space for a while and then suddenly in my vision the cosmos collapsed to a single point of light, which grew smaller and smaller until I could barely see it at all. Floating in the blackness of space, I was not sure what to do, so I opened my eyes, and the vision ended.
The more I muse upon this vision, the more I understand my insignificance. On the other hand, I also understand the incredible power of human consciousness: humans can view the cosmos from the perspective of a God. As humans we have many opportunities for connection with different forms of life and consciousness, from the smallest flower to the vast, flowering cosmos itself. We can connect with the Source through love for people, nature, the arts, spiritual beings--for all energy is holy. But so often we find ourselves shrouded in veils of negativity.
Before the pandemic, I was a member of a group that gathered every other week for a spiritual practice known as Deeksha. The master practitioners in this group took turns laying their hands on our heads to channel heavenly golden energy for a few minutes into the crown chakra of each one of us. Like the divine chi channeled by Reiki practitioners, Deeksha is an extremely high frequency energy that heals and balances and relaxes those who receive it. If a person continues with the practice of Deeksha long enough, the divine golden energy eventually rewires the brain to return the person to a state free of negativity, comparable to the brain of a new-born child. The liberated individual who reaches this state of innocence still retains all memories but can experience life without oppressive emotional and mental burdens.
My Reiki friend also performs Deeksha and kindly invited me to one of the group meetings. From the beginning, I found that the golden energy had a profoundly calming effect on me, but I didn't know much about the Deeksha tradition, except that it originated in India. At the third or fourth meeting, while my friend was laying her hands on my head, I had the vision of the blue man with multiple arms who was dancing on the seashore. At the end of each session, we would take turns describing our experience, and when I disclosed that I had envisioned a bluish dancing man with multiple arms, one of the practitioners blurted out, "You just described Shiva."
I went online and discovered that numerous forms of Deeksha exist, one of which is known as "Shiva Deeksha." Shiva is generally known as a God of destruction. Before the pandemic, I had six visions of Shiva over the course of several months while participating in Deeksha sessions, and at the time, I confess, I didn't understand what the visions signified. I eventually realized that the God of destruction can also be viewed as a God of liberation--from negativity, from the past, from limiting beliefs about who and what we are.
In one of my visions, as Shiva was dancing, I was again suddenly floating in space, surrounded by innumerable galaxies. Then I was unexpectedly flying through redwood trees near the ocean, and I was unexpectedly happy to be back on earth. I realized then that as a human being the earth is more significant to me than billions of galaxies floating in the blackness of space.
The Kabbalists believe that the physical plane is "the world of action" where we learn to bring our consciousness and the world around us into balance and therefore manifest one of the primary qualities of the Source of all Creation: harmony. As humans, we have the opportunity to transmute negativity into harmony through grace, one of the most powerful forms of spiritual action in the cosmos, but not an action that normally occurs in outer space.
Poppies in February
One thing I know for sure: modern humans have to release much personal and collective negativity before we can hope to become collectively aware of spiritual realities. If we can release all or most of that negativity, I believe, collectively we will be able to feel the underlying unity of all consciousness and the divinity of all life.
I know, in this period of history it is impossible not to be haunted by the past. The liberation of concentration camps in Europe, where millions died horribly, took place fifteen years before I was born. The dropping of the atom bomb, which instantly revealed the potential for total annihilation of the planet, also occurred fifteen years before I was born. In California, where I have lived my entire life, an unspeakable genocide slowly came to an end about four decades before I was born. Ecocide soon followed in the San Joaquin Valley as dams destroyed the rivers and wetlands--a decade or so before I was born. In the past couple of centuries, genocide and ecocide have gone hand in hand.
Somehow most of us can manage to live with the realities of ecocide and genocide and climate disruption and the potential annihilation of all life on the planet, but eventually, many of us reach a crisis point in our personal life that pushes us to seek pathways to higher awareness. Negativity can become a crucible that causes transformation, a test designed to bring about change or to reveal our true character. My crucible has always been a chronic illness that has undermined me physically and emotionally. For most of my life, an undigestible protein in gluten has broken apart the tight junctions in my small intestines so that undigested food particles and waste and toxins have entered my blood stream, overwhelming my immune system and causing inflammation in various parts of my body. No doctors were ever able to identify the cause and dismissed my physical illness as hypochondria or a mental health issue (which was an easy out for them since chronic poor health can lead to depression or even psychosis).
Even though many people are now aware of the adverse effects of gluten, grocery store shelves are still weighed down by products filled with a protein that the human body cannot digest. Eventually I experienced severe digestive issues and atrial fibrillation (which could have caused a stroke or heart attack) every time I ate even a miniscule amount of gluten. I attempted to go gluten-free but discovered that gluten exists in just about every product, even chicken--thanks to a plumping solution that increases the weight of the chicken's body. The American diet was killing me, but everyone believed that the illness was all just in my head. People often ignore a problem by blaming the victim, so I nearly fell victim to what amounts to a socially acceptable form of negligent homicide.
At one point, I tried meditating to relieve stress. I have a psychic friend who claims that astral bugs often crawl up her arms when she lays her hands on the people she's healing. Before I met her, I had visions during meditation of numerous headless spiders attached to me, and even though I had repeatedly cleansed my chakras mentally, I could see blackness in my heart whenever I scanned my aura with my inner eye. Eventually, I got rid of all the spiders in my aura through the process of mental purification, but the blackness kept flooding my heart, which worried me since I was fifty-five years old, and my father had died from a heart attack at that age. Finally, just as I was going completely gluten-free, I went to my friend the Reiki master, and she helped eliminate the black energy from my heart. I owe her a real debt of gratitude. Since then, I have never felt healthier, physically or emotionally, in my life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, visions of demons and Shiva and headless spiders and blackness in my heart, sounds pretty insane, I know. But, it might seem ironic to some people that the ability to perceive demons and angels and Gods and other entities is considered a symptom of psychosis--because after all, through the mental purification process I have become healthy and whole again, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I developed psychic abilities only after releasing all negativity from my energy field. Part of that process included figuring out how to neutralize dark forces that had plagued me for years. Now I am free of negativity, and dark forces can no longer harm me. Is that crazy, or what?

PENDULUM DREAMS: PART SIX
When the government ordered us to "shelter in place," in other words to isolate ourselves in our own homes, I was already doing that anyway due to a relentless case of scabies.
Families living paycheck to paycheck are being hit the hardest since corporate politicians have done everything in their power to shred the social safety net, and the for-profit healthcare system, which already bankrupts more people than anything else in this country, does not have enough government support to deal with the crisis adequately. All the while, of course, taxpayers have been spending trillions on unjustified military misadventures in our crumbling empire. My pendulum has confirmed that super-rich elites want the pandemic to induce widespread panic so that our failing political system will shift decisively from democracy to authoritarian rule in the blink of an eye.
So far during the Covid-19 plague, I have remained in high spirits even though dark forces have ruthlessly assaulted me. As I have mentioned before, I know how to neutralize the dark forces, but they continue to target me twice daily, and it's now starting to get on my nerves. One day recently, I was taking a bath to exterminate the microscopic arachnids on the surface of my skin when I felt myself rapidly spiraling into an uncharacteristic despair. While I slumped in the tub wondering if I was again experiencing a demonic attack, suddenly my emotions did a 180: I became inexplicably happy. I knew without a doubt that my friend had sensed my plunge into darkness from a distance and had bolstered me with high frequency spiritual energies. Anyone who has not experienced a similar spiritual connection will no doubt immediately dismiss this assertion as insane, but I assure you that vibrations carried on subtle spiritual currents either bless us or curse us more often than most people might assume.
So far, I have not heard much from Amber since the plague began. Our relationship remains on the spiritual level. Many have experienced "radar love," an unexpected connection with another person during which you receive subtle communications that you feel in your heart or your groin. Our radar connection is much more predictable. Through our spiritual practices, we both send blessings to each other around the same time of day. We are both empaths, sensitive to subtle spiritual and emotional currents, and we both intensely feel the positive energy that we send to each other.
I now clearly see that practitioners of black magic, be they witches or shamans or sorcerers, are criminals, plain and simple, because they cause grave harm to others from a distance, but no laws exist to bring them to justice. They almost always get away with their insidious, antisocial behavior. According to Bran, like attracts like, and those who practice the dark arts tend to seek each other out and establish networks. They also tend to believe that the masses in this society are intellectually and spiritually inferior to them, so occasionally they make the mistake of thinking that everyone outside of their sphere is completely unaware of what they are doing. Since they are so deeply ensconced in dark energies, most of them are incapable of even believing that some people sincerely work for the highest possible good of others.
Demons nowadays don't shake me violently or hold me down and choke me because that would make their attacks too obvious. They instead attack me on a more subtle level by amplifying negative emotions so that I have difficulty focusing on anything else, for instance. I eventually realized that the spiritual frequency of the Archangels is elevating the collective consciousness of humanity. After I got into the practice of performing my ritual with the Archangels every day at around ten in the morning, demons started attacking me a few minutes before ten.
Popcorn and Fiddleneck
​
Amber is truly a Reiki master, effective at channeling chi, a powerful healing energy. At first, while she was working on my crown chakra, I suddenly envisioned a dove on fire, which I could only interpret as the Holy Spirit, as the chi moved downward through my aura. By the end of the session, Amber was engulfing my entire energy field with harmony, kindness, and unconditional love, what I can only characterize as the Christ-force; for ten minutes, at least, we were both tuned to that frequency. I had never connected with another living person in that way before.
The next day, before I got out of bed, I felt the energy again, and I experienced the same vision of the Holy Spirit. I suspected that Amber was performing Reiki on me remotely, and a text confirmed it. That day, I asked my pendulum if I had ever known Amber in another life. Yes. I threw out some numbers and discovered that we have been close to each other in one way or another in twenty-five previous lives.
According to my pendulum, Amber and I made a spiritual contract to serve the Divine Will before we came into this life. My pendulum confirms that together we will help to elevate the frequency of humanity during this great collective shift in human consciousness. The last time we were together, our auras seemed to be on fire with sparkling stars. That day, a simple hug from her engulfed me in the most harmonious energy in the cosmos.
If I am not mistaken, I have contracted Covid three times. I am not 100 percent sure about that, however. I have only been tested for Covid once; tests in Fresno, CA, have been impossible to find. I have, however, experienced almost the exact same symptoms three times, once when the pandemic began, once when the Delta variant surfaced, and recently after the Omicron variant spread like wildfire through the population. In each case, I woke up in the middle of the night, got out of bed to use the bathroom, and started shivering like I was freezing to death at the North Pole. I also had a mild fever and coughed raucously now and then and experienced fatigue and brain fog for a few days. Otherwise, in each case the symptoms have remained relatively mild.

Miner's Lettuce near Big Creek, January 16
I have the feeling that I am not destined to hang out with other people much any time soon, which is unexpectedly okay with me. I connect every day from a distance on a spiritual level with other "sensitive" people. My pendulum spun clockwise when I asked it if learning how to send harmony and love from a distance to other people is a critical step in human evolution; in other words, I discovered that I am part of a cadre of individuals who are elevating the spiritual frequency of humanity--which I didn't even know was possible until I met Amber.
I just had to get out of the house today, though, so I traveled by myself to the Kings River to experience the fresh green winter grass after the rains. I experienced more than that, however. I found today, January 16, that blue dick, fiddleneck, poppies, and miner's lettuce are blooming in various places along the road. In the past forty years, the earliest I have found flowers blooming near the Kings is early-to-late February. Twice, I think, I have discovered a few popcorn flowers blooming at the very end of January, but I don't recall ever encountering these other four species blooming in mid-January. Since I have explored the Kings River watershed for forty years, this freaks me out. I have an uneasy feeling that this splendor in the grass in mid-January portends the incineration of large ecosystems in the mountains--even more so than in the past couple of years. I hope not, but I have come to realize that nowadays crazy stuff is pretty normal.

The Moon: Pisces
CHOICES
​
The Source moves within us and all around us,
through infinite fields of energy.
Though but tiny specks, we are always one
with the awesome powers of the Source,
our minds one with the infinite Mind.
We can purify our hearts and minds,
the soiled veils dropping away,
one by one, until we know the harmony,
magnificence and abundance
of the human spirit. But we are blinded
by appearances and conditioned to believe
that we should just be wage slaves
while the rich get richer, using
our last resources, tearing down
and burning up the planet,
commodifying nature and people everywhere
as our ecological and social systems
break down. We could start a revolution
with all of us fighting for power
till everything collapses, or we could recognize
our oneness and align with the powers of the Source.
The soiled veils would drop away, one by one,
until we know the harmony, magnificence,
and abundance of the human spirit and recall
that we are one with the powers of the Source.
We have forgotten that right here and now
we are one with the powers of the Source.
If the veils fell away, we would know
that each of us is divine. If we connect with the powers
of the Source and know that we are one, we could make
the heart connections with people and the planet
that could lead to our survival....
PENDULUM DREAMS: PART SEVEN
According to my pendulum, throughout most of my life, practitioners of black magic, witches and sorcerers and shamans, have attacked me over and over again in a secret government experiment to determine how to control the masses. Before the plague, when I confessed to the Illumination Meditation group that dark forces were attacking me, Bran acknowledged that the government is currently using practitioners of black magic to send out demons and malicious spirits to terrify and harm and even kill people. Bran admitted that he has also experienced such spiritual attacks himself. He warned us that demons can weaken our bodies and auras and plant seeds of disease that can eventually kill us. That is why, he stated, we need to learn how to release negative energies and strengthen our energy fields every day as we meditate.
According to Bran, the government, after WWII, established a secret project to investigate the paranormal, employing practitioners of black magic to work with dark entities for purposes beneficial to the power elites and the government--you know, like controlling the masses. One experiment, begun by the Nazis, consists of sending out dark forces, including demons and harmful spirits, to attack different types of people--especially sensitive people of a high spiritual frequency and above-average intelligence who question (or might question) those in power. During corrupt administrations especially, the government has mercilessly employed this practice to benefit the elites, undermining effective opposition and keeping the masses at an extremely low vibration, confused, miserable, unable to experience their own spiritual power, and therefore less likely to protest greed, injustice, exploitation, endless war, the destruction of the planet or anything else that enables the billionaires to continue raking in tons of money, a relatively small percentage of which they use to maintain an iron grip on the politicians through campaign contributions. According to Bran, you can now count on your fingers the number of people who currently own as much wealth as half of the world's population.
It's always good to know what you're up against. Once, recently, when I experienced a lull in the demonic attacks, my spirit guides directed me to heal and cleanse and neutralize the billionaire owners of a major box store. The next day, the practitioners of black magic who guard those billionaires turned their attention on me. While I was performing my ritual to neutralize them, I kept envisioning that one of the demons had been present in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII, which I found puzzling at first. After several attacks by similar demons, I realized that there is a class of demons that targets the collective mind of a group to keep everyone terrified and miserable and powerless, and I concluded that employing these demons to keep a potentially rebellious work force in line was the perfect way to control minimum-wage workers who rely on customers to provide donations to them during the holiday season. Clearly, some elites find these demons extremely helpful.
In many other ways as well, the billionaires, in conjunction with the government, are "managing" the population, according to Bran. One way is by making sure that the precariat is always drowning in debt and struggling with inflation. Another is through toxic chemicals in the food and air and water and harmful addictive chemicals in legal and illegal drugs. Toxins and drugs adversely affect the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of the psyche, making it very difficult to function at an optimal--or even normal level. The general population, in other words, is sickened, drugged, and kept in a constant struggle for survival. According to Bran, some people of a high spiritual vibration tend to be greatly afflicted by toxins and more easily addicted to drugs and alcohol because they naturally desire to extend the spiritual inebriation that they sometimes experience. Bran surmised that I am being attacked so often because the deep state, thanks to the influence of the current president, is even more odious than usual.
(The only time Bran ever got angry at me was after I asked him if he was afraid the government was trying to kill him. "Yeah, well, let them try!" he exclaimed. "So far they haven't succeeded. Anyway, they can't harm me. I am immortal!")
On the bright side, due to the incessant demonic attacks, the Archangels and Angels have neutralized a great deal of evil in the world. The people in charge of the deep-state shadow project keep trying to find the right rituals, the right dark forces and malicious spirits to undermine me, but in the process of performing my rituals, the Archangels of the four Elements of the Wise--Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Auriel--have blessed and cleansed and healed and neutralized a veritable army of dark forces and practitioners of black magic.
Some of you might recall that in Christianity, a personal sacrifice for the highest good is known as "bearing the cross." Some people choose to sacrifice their personal will to serve the Divine Will, which in the process brings them closer to God. A sacrifice during which a person dies for others or for the highest good is an example of this spiritual mystery, which powerfully reveals that we are all one--and that includes the poor and afflicted and everyone who might appear somehow different or inferior. An individual who recognizes that we are all part of One Mind and who intentionally sacrifices his or her personal will to serve the Divine Will also experiences a kind of death that has a subtle impact on collective consciousness. A sacrifice involving the death of the personality sometimes can be so powerful on the subtle level that it awakens other people to the underlying unity of all consciousness. My purpose is to serve the Divine Will to neutralize evil in order to reestablish balance in the world. If we don't work on the spiritual level to neutralize evil, the same political and economic horrors will keep rearing their heads, threatening us more and more ferociously. Even though I sometimes complain about the relentlessness of the demonic attacks, I have chosen to carry this cross.
I recently became fascinated by a television series entitled Grimm. The main character is a cop in the Portland Police Department who unexpectedly develops the ability to see people turn into beasts or monsters when they become agitated. The cop has to live a double life because he knows that other people will think that he is crazy if he tells them what he is experiencing. He can't even tell his girlfriend until a crisis point occurs in their relationship, and even then for a long time she doesn't believe him.
At one point I unexpectedly developed a similar ability. I became able to "see" whether a person has an angelic soul or a human soul. A woman and I developed a friendship online. I had never met her before. Soon, though, I began to feel her energy, the way I can feel Amber's energy from a distance. I will call her Aurora (not her real name). I was confused at first, but I could tell almost immediately from her energy that her soul is from a high angelic order known as the Chashmallim, the Brilliant Ones. Coincidentally, two psychics, at different points in my life, had claimed that my soul is from a high angelic order, but I wasn't sure if I should believe them, so I forgot about it. Then one day, after working with Archangels and Angels for years, I suddenly knew without a doubt that my soul is from the angelic order of the Chashmallim. So I realized that it wasn't an accident that Aurora and I had met online. As time progressed, I encountered four other people from the angelic order of the Chashmallim, two people from the angelic order of the Melachim, and a dozen people from the angelic order of the Elohim.
The angelic order of the Chashmallim is associated with the fourth Emanation of the Tree of Life known as Mercy. The spiritual experience associated with the Emanation of Mercy is the "Vision of Love," which stems from a deep awareness of the unity of Universal Consciousness. The spiritual virtue is "Obedience," or "Obedience to the Divine Will." In this challenging realm, angelic souls from the order of the Chashmallim in their spiritual development are often traumatized and attacked when young (and even as they grow older) so that they can learn how to transmute the negative into something more positive in difficult times. Aurora was feeling stuck in survival mode. She was traumatized, exhausted, stressed out, experiencing mood swings, and a little confused about who she was. She was not sure that she would ever figure out what it all means. I had experienced the same feelings myself when practitioners of black magic were attacking me on a daily basis. I eventually realized that witches, sorcerers, and shamans were trying to put me in the ground; consequently I had to be stuck in survival mode for several years.
A battle is raging in the spiritual dimension now at the beginning of this new age, the Age of Aquarius. Many of the most powerful practitioners of black magic have angelic souls that have turned to the dark side because of the traumas and horrors they have experienced and the sins they have committed, and they try to convert other angelic souls to the dark side because they feel threatened by the vision of love and by obedience to the Divine Will and other spiritual ideals.
As I see it, if you have an angelic soul and you are being attacked regularly by dark forces, you have three options: get put in the ground, go to the dark side, or ask the Most High for the protection of his Archangels and Angels. If you have divine protection from the angelic realms, the spells and curses of the practitioners of black magic cannot harm you. A curse without cause cannot stand. If you have divine protection, the curse will fly back to the practitioner of black magic and land on him or her instead.
Some practitioners of black magic have the ability to see angelic souls. That's how they know who to target. The problem for me now is that Aurora's child also has an angelic soul. If Aurora gets put in the ground, her child will no doubt be so traumatized that he will go to the dark side, which is precisely what the practitioners of black magic desire: killing one angelic soul from the order of the Chashmallim and turning the other to the dark side would be a great win/win for them. I tried to set up a meeting to discuss this with her, but the beauty of the internet is that you can ignore anyone--even someone who is trying to do something good to support your shift from a negative condition to a more positive state. Many people strongly resist change even when they feel traumatized, exhausted, stressed out, confused, stuck in survival mode, and experience unexpected mood swings. Aurora loves her child, so I doubt she will go to the dark side. She could work on a spiritual level for divine protection, but she might feel that it is too risky to make any changes for herself and her child right now. Even in a normal situation, it's hard to tell what to do and often seems best to just stick with what feels normal.
When I was meditating this morning, I started thinking about Aurora, and suddenly my Guardian Angel clearly stated, "You must serve the Divine Will by helping her seek divine protection." Now I don't know what to do.

PENDULUM DREAMS: PART EIGHT
​
"Look!" Bran exclaimed one night. "In just about every society in human history, a small percentage of the population has controlled the vast majority of wealth. The more wealth and power that the elites have, the more afraid they are that other people will take it all away from them, so they sometimes resort to extreme measures to hold on to what they have even if their greed ends up completely destroying the quality of life for everyone else. It might not surprise you that they network with others in business and government and create secret societies or 'shadow' organizations so that together they can hold on to their wealth and power. It also should not surprise you that some of them even resort to the use of the dark arts to maintain and increase their wealth and power.
"Some psychiatrists are coming forward now with evidence that demons and harmful spirits are responsible for a significant percentage of mental health problems." Seeing a few raised eyebrows, Bran, in an agitated voice, asked, "Is it really so far-fetched that super-rich capitalists would employ practitioners of black magic to control society? The elites for their own profit are now leading humanity to the edge of a cliff in a number of ways, climate change and nuclear proliferation being the most obvious.
"If that isn't demonic, I don't know what is. The government has continued unjustified, disastrous conflicts in the Middle East that only benefit the oil industry and war profiteers, with our sons and daughters as their cannon fodder. The super-rich are, right before our very eyes, destroying the last semblance of democracy in our nation. The Republican Party, controlled entirely by the super-rich, has turned into the most dangerous organization in the history of the world, according to renowned intellectuals like Noam Chomsky.
"The billionaires are revealing once again for all to see that they have absolute control. Through media influence they have helped to install in the oval office a pathological liar, a felon, a sexual assaulter--a misogynistic, narcissistic wanna-be dictator who appeals to racists, members of the NRA, neo Nazis and Evangelicals, a puppet who does the bidding of super-rich despots, an unhinged, moronic bully who claims to be 'a very stable genius unmatched' in his wisdom. The elites, through control of the media, have brainwashed nearly half the nation into supporting a sociopath as their president; the other half of the country is in denial or too frightened to protest against the evil in our economic and political systems.
"When a capitalistic society starts collapsing, the rulers can lean either toward socialism or fascism, and fascism benefits elites the most. Anyone who pays attention for ten seconds can tell which way they're leaning, but half the country is in total denial." Amber and I nodded as he continued in the same vein for awhile.
I have bad news to tell you now. I was deeply saddened when I found out that Bran had died unexpectedly from an aneurysm. He was only fifty, ten years younger than I am. Amber told me the news over the phone, and we both got out our pendulums. Amber decided to do an Akashic reading and discovered that Bran had suffered some vicious demonic attacks. According to Amber, "In a frequency that is very close to the physical plane, demons had caused an aneurysm that eventually burst." Crying, she blurted out, "Demons attacked Bran because he was such a respected spiritual leader--who always told the truth, but he had talked too much about secret government projects and false flag operations. We should have all turned off our cellphones," she wept. "We're always under surveillance," she tearfully noted.
Bran had dealt courageously with dark forces, but, unfortunately, he was not working with the powers of harmony who provide maximum spiritual protection. His advice to the group was to keep one's energy field open to everything, even the negative, take in as much information as possible, and then let it go, which to me sounded like a recipe for disaster. I have experienced subtle attacks on my brain and heart and digestive system, but the Archangels purify my aura every day during my rituals, clearing away negativity from all levels of my energy field. I have always relied on divine protection; without it, I would no doubt have been wrecked a long time ago.
The practitioner of the dark arts often targets victims who are vulnerable due to a crisis of some kind and directs dark forces to cause terror and misery and illness and chaos in their victim's world. The dark forces get to feed off the negative energies of the victims, and the sorceress gets to maintain the power to cause grave harm. Both the dark forces and the sorceress benefit from this horrific practice. Some people even pay practitioners of black magic to harm or kill their enemies.
Many people believe that they can plant seeds of harmony with their mind into Universal Consciousness and that these seeds will grow and manifest greater balance and abundance for themselves and others. Even though they believe that the individual human mind working with Universal Consciousness has great power to manifest harmony and abundance in the world, they often deny or dismiss or totally ignore the ability of the human mind to cause horrific evil.
Sorcerers, I have discovered, do not like it when a potential victim is aware of their activities and is able to thwart their efforts. They network with each other to crush anyone who effectively neutralizes them. For instance, one of the members of a coven might also be the local leader of a shamanic tradition that originated on another continent, and she might network with other brujas and brujos in that tradition. If her local coven fails to harm the target, the sorceress might contact a member in her shamanic tradition. When one bruja fails to harm the potential victim, another might try the next day. In this way, the world-wide communications network has amplified the potential for horrible evil. There is really no distance between one human mind and another because we are part of One Consciousness, so there is no escape unless one has the knowledge and ability to work with higher powers to deal effectively with demonic attacks....
The psychic attacks on me have escalated recently because I have become effective at working with Archangels and Angels to neutralize dark, unbalanced forces. My reputation, in other words, only began spreading far and wide because I am heavily protected by the powers of harmony, and practitioners of evil feel threatened personally by the disempowerment of their cohorts.
According to my pendulum, members of the deep state eventually became aware that the Archangels effectively neutralize dark energies, so coordinators of the shadow agency began enlisting the help of practitioners of the dark arts from all over the world to see if they could mess with me. In every case, the Archangels and Angels have blessed and healed and cleansed the dark forces and filled them with divine love and harmony. The powers of harmony have neutralized them, in other words, at least for a while. Every time I perform my ritual, moreover, the Archangels bless me as much or more as they bless the dark forces and the practitioners of black magic who are attacking me. At this point, thanks to the Archangels and Angels, I have dealt with far more demons than I can remember and have survived intact, happier and healthier than I have ever felt before. When I am not being attacked, I am free of negativity and often feel a peace beyond understanding and compassion for all life (especially when surrounded by wildflowers).
In nature, I have experienced many "apocalypses." I use the term to mean "the revelation of great knowledge," what Bart Ehrman calls, "a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities" (1). For instance, when I stand before a tiger lily at Tamarack Creek, I feel a powerful link with the Source that awakens my higher self. I feel my worldly concerns dropping away, and I experience the divinity of all life, the holiness of all energy. I am transformed utterly in a few moments, blessed by the splendor and fragrance of a flower.
Tamarack Creek, unfortunately, experienced Armageddon last year. I'd seen it coming for a long time. Due to extended drought in the mountains, numerous trees did not have enough water to produce the sap needed to drown the invading bark beetle. Last time I was there, thanks to bark beetle infestations, most of the trees were dead, reduced to tinder, which resulted last year in the conflagration known as the Creek Fire.
I am afraid to return to Tamarack Creek, which I normally do in early July. So many trees were dead the last time I was there--I am now afraid that the inferno incinerated all of the dead trees as well as all of the healthy trees. I am afraid that there is no longer enough shade to cool the high mountain meadows where tiger lilies and shooting stars and columbine flourish. I am afraid that I will not experience again the "apocalypse" that these flowers have always awakened within me.
