Book of Real Magick

Even more startling than the plot similarities are the symbolic similarities between the Egyptian and Christian stories. Horus was associated both with the lion and with the lamb as was Jesus. Horus was identified with the Tat or cross as well as with the shepherd's crook and the rod. This association was first made through Isis, his mother. In an ancient Egyptian text Isis states that "I am the staff of his power in his youth, and he is the rod of my old age." This association was strengthened by the pharaohs, who were called Kings of the Kingdom and The Great Shepherds of Their Flock. In the tradition of Horus, who was called "The Good Shepherd", the pharaohs carried the staff and rod as the symbols of their heavenly power . Jesus' association with the cross goes without saying but he was also portrayed as the Good Shepherd, and in Rev. 12:5 and 19:15 he is said to "rule with a rod of iron." There are also Old Testament associations between God and the shepherd's crook and the rod. In the Book of Psalms the famous line "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy Rod and thy Staff, they comfort me" ( Psalms 23:4 ) points to the influence of the Egyptian traditions.

Connecting to the Higherself

Connecting to the Higherself

What is the Higherself?

The higher-self is part of your whole existance yet resides on another vibration that is You. You may understand it as the God self, thus a part of God that is living part of your consciousness state. Some people feel that the Higher-self assists with the element of intuition and inner guidance. You may believe in Angels or Guides, but perhaps their existance is part and parcel of the whole in form of your higherself. This would be true if the higherself was part of God, as that is the highest aspect of Vibration in the Universal Consciousness.

The Higherself is also thought to be energy, powerul vibrating positive energy that contains all your lives that you have lived before as well as those you are actually living through time and space. It is possible that we are living duality lives through a matrix. The Higherself connects to that matrix enabling us to receive messages through meditation and visualiztion.

Recently I took a group of people into meditation to connect them to their higherself. There experiences were profound. Each one connected to the essence and the power of who they are as human beings. Each one saw bright and colourful energy either in the form of golden light or rainbow colours or shapes. When each person connected with the higherself they were able to communicate and become intouch with the energy that they often forget to get in touch with on a daily basis.

In fact how many of you actually trust your intuition? How many of you live your life connected with the higher self. Truefully, very little, a small percentage I feel. The reason is that if we trusted our intuition, we would not worry. We would know and trust what the solution was to our everyday actions and deeds. I feel if we were taught to get in touch with our higherselves from a yound age, then the vibration and consciousness state for mother earth would be in a much more peaceful alignment that where it is right now.

We are taught in a general way that if we want to connect to something higher than ourselves, then we must follow a religion and or a belief system that dictates or shows to us how we must lead our lives to sustain the best life that "God" feels is best for us. Yet could you imagine if that changed? Imagine that from a young age we were taught that we could enter into meditation to connect to a higher consciousness, our higher selves to find the answers to our everyday problems. We have a direct access to God. We are part of that energy. We are the God energy.

The real God energy is uncondtional Love. Unconditional love knows no boundries and makes no restiction. Unconditional means just that. So where in your life do you find an unconditional way of being? What part of the self acts from this point? If we are truely connected to the higherself, then we have found the peace in the world that we all strive to achieve. Reaching the higher self we are able to maintain the equilibrium that fulfils our purpose.


Now here is some food for thought. Could it be that most Mediums actually connect to the higherself to receive messages. The higherself could in actual fact store all the information and imprints of life. Are mediums actually psychically connecting to that imprint to relay messages of hope?
It is said that mediums connect with the Hall of Records found in a library on the etheric realms. Could this actually be our higherself that connects to the etheric realms that relays the information on a psychic level to the medium?

I am interested to hear your comments...

During our connection with the higherself we were also able to connect with previous incarnations that had a reflective appearance on the life that the person was currently living. For example, one gentleman said that he saw me as a boy, a chimney sweep in victorian times. My life then was as a lesson to others. I got stuck up the chimney, and died trapped by the fumes of a fire.
Now this gentleman had not been to the meeting before. This was his first time and he knew nothing of my life. Yet he relaid this to me. This made great sense to me as when I was a boy, I developed childhood athsma. On several occaisions I also found myself involved with fires, on a train, in a building which had re-awakened a fear, yet I was unsure of where it stemmed. Clearly he was tapping into my higherself from his higherself to relay the message. On hearing this, it gave clearence and healing to a past incarnacion.


Connecting to the higherself is incredibly powerful and something I feel we must all learn to acknowledge.

Symbolic Whispers article (published in Spanish Sun Newspaper) by Jason Ritchie

"Chasing Rainbows"

This last week we have seen an un usual amount of rain, and unseasonal temperatures.
However the seasonal refreshment, is uplifting as it is not only welcomed, but also assists in new growth for Mother Earth.
Together with the rain , clouds race magestically across the skies and glistening rays of sunshine burst through giving light to our day as well as our life.
I also witnessed spectacular double rainbows creating an arc of hope for the country and the world. Is it ever possible to find the end of the Rainbow?


Life can be so colourful if we allow it to be. Yet so many of you only look to one side of life, the negative. Have you complained about the weather, because it has ruined your day?
Have you felt depressed because the dull clouds hide the light that you have come here to adore?
Importantly I feel its worth noting, the light is always there. Simerly the light within yourself is always there, but unfortunately you allow the stress and everyday life to cloud your perceptions.

Clouds often come into our life. They come in the form of money worries, doubts fears, daily stress, anxiety, past experiences, the unknown and so forth. Many suffer with the continual mind that never seems to stop.

Why do we allow the clouds to enter our life?
Often there is an outer pressure that manifests and creates a seed. That seed once planted can create a destructive pattern unless it is released to the wind. Recently the "Credit Crunch" has been a major influence on society, almost creating a brainwashing sensation, so that we only believe that life is heading to a pit fall of worry and loss. Yet if we take ourselves away from the influence and dont listen to that constant messages, then we can begin to reclaim our power, and our own truth.
It is also during the cloudy moments that we are able to look at what needs to change before the thunderstorm of life creates a destructive pattern, forcing change to take place.
Yet ,even if that happens, the electricity, the energy of the universe re-inforces us that life is so magical and incredible.
When the rains come the headache of life is released letting go of the past and enabling new life to begin.

The Universal Messenger
We can look at the weather systems as symbols and messages from the Gods/Universe. We are being taught something incredibly valuable, but as a race we have not been listening or recognising the signs. They are getting stronger and now is the time to adhere to the lesson. I am not only suggesting that climate change is the sign from this higher power. I mean yourselves as individuals. Look and feel the power of each weather system and reflect how that corrosponds with what you are feeling within yourself. Try to look at the positive of each system and season.
Additionaly to this, my grandmother used to read the clouds. Yes, Cloud readings. In many ways everything can be read on a psychic level. Next time you lie under an cloudy sky, stare up towards them and create images in the clouds and interpret any messages for yourself or those close by. This is done simply by looking at the images you receive and interpreting them into a story. You will suprise yourself and your friends when you relay your findings.

Magical moments and Rainbows
Rainbows have an almost magical connotación that derive from fairy tales, we know they are very real as we are able to see them. So too is life. We can see that life can be magical as some people in this world have that life. We all have the possibility of making that for ourselves. In many ways it has something to do with your intention and how much time you are prepared to aim for that goal. Use this quiet time to re-establish your focus and and strive for achieving what it is you want to fulfil. In doing so you can find that pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow.


The Sun always shines
It is worth remembering that the sun always shines. Even when we cant see it, it is there.
Many people reach out for light or hope, but often do not see the wood for the trees. Very often when a thought of hope is projected outwards, it is worth remembering that you always receive the energy you asked for. Not always in the way that you would imagine.
Signs of light may come in the form of the innocence of a child smiling towards you, the view of a magnificent sunrise, an animal trying to get your attention, a letter or e.mail from a friend, a phone call from someone you have not seen for a while, a book that catches your attention, a beautiful landscape, a personal introduction and so forth. These are simple messages that mean something for you to acknowledge within that daily routine. Notice the little things in life, appreciate them and live a fulfilled and positive life in a world of abundance and prosperity.

Symbolic Whispers Column (spanish sun newspaper)

Spirit communication is profound, but it actually occures everyday of our lives. Often we are just too busy or too pre-occupied to take notice of what our departed loved ones or spirit guides are trying to convey.

How can I connect to my spirit guide?

Firstly it is beneficial to have some experience with meditation. Meditation enables you to still the mind .It stops the chatter, doubts and fears that are often created in the mind that not only prevent communication with spirit, but prevents you from accessing your goals and dreams.
Meditation enables you to focus your intention, of what ever it is that your are reaching to achieve. It maybe that you want to access stillness. Ideally it is beneficial to sit in the silence. The quiet is where we here so much. Over the following weeks I will introduce you to simple preparations that you can incorporate into your daily lives to enable you to reach your spirit guide/spirit communication. Yet as always there are guidelines and foundations to create before you just open up to spirit. Many people join a development circle that teaches ways to connect and communicate with spirit realms. Everyone has an ability to nurture a natural born gift available to us all. You may find that the following exercises give you a gentle intoduction to the path.

Meditation is incorporated into so many spiritual practises.
Here are some meditation practises that you may wish to try in the coming week.

Body awareness exercise

Sit upright in a chair with your hands on your lap with your palms facing upwards.
close your eyes
Become aware of where there is discomfort in the body. Start with the head by scrunching up your face muscles, then release
Tighten the shoulder and arm and hand muscles, then release, become aware of how relaxed you feel as you loosen the muscles
Make the back muscles ridgid, then release
Tighten the chest and stomach, then release
Tighten the buttocks and pelvis area then release
Tighten the leg and feet, then relax
Become aware of your breathing. Take a deep in breath through your nose, hold for a count of 3 then breathe out slowly
Repeat this three or four times until you feel the body begin to relax.

Many people do not breath properly. Many people are not conscious of the way they breathe. But as you begin this exercise you will become aware of any outstanding tension in the body. Just breathe into this area, then breathe out and relax. After a short period you will feel more relaxed.
When the body is relaxed it is able to access a deeper state of being and enable focus and intention to take place.

Focus your Energy
The next step involves placing a pen or pensil on a piece of paper. Then draw around the pen forming a circle or oval shape.
Now sit facing the pen enclosed in the circle ideally on a table.
Now focus all your energy and attention on the pencil.
Now move the pencil with your mind. To fullfil this exercise you need 100% consentration and can not be disturbed.
The power of the mind and focus will move the pencil, either floating or rolled across the paper and out of the circle.

Next week I will explain the purpose of this exercise as well as introducing you to the next stage of communication with your spirit guide.

Let me know how you get on.
Please send your results to this exercise to info@alternative-world.org

Evening of Clairvoyance for Animal Charity

Mediums Gaynor Thompson, Jason Ritchie, Lynda Dow and Anna Mezzone will be giving talks/demonstations of Clairvoyance. There will also be an opportunity to have private readings. Proceeds go towards an Animal Charity S.0.S. (spay our strays)

8.30pm til late.

Symbolic Whispers Development Circle

The Symbolic Whispers Development Circle is back. We welcome back old friends and new.
The 12th January connected many developing mediums and lightworkers into the group.( many who in a couple of years you will probably hear about in the main stream society) A strong connction to spirit was experienced, feeling, sensing and connecting with the spirit world to assist with each persons development as well as the development for the circle as a whole.
Spirit reassured us that whatever we are given, however obscure, that it is important not to allow our judgements to jade a message receive. It is important to relay whatever you are receiving as often it will make sense to the person who is receiving the message. The circle is there to give you confidence and learn to trust what is given. If something does not make sense straight away, it is always beneficial to place it to oneside as it may be beneficial at a late stage in your life.
Another lesson taught us to focus. Often we are so preoccupied with trying too hard to get a message, that we lose touch with what is actually being relayed. We need to surrender to spirit. Invite them in to work with you and communicate with them. If they give you a message and you dont understand why you have received it, then ask them what it means. The spontanious answer will come in, dont think about something, wait remain focused in your connection and listen or see or feel the images being given.

The spirit world also highlighted the current ecconomic crisis and let us realize that there is a shift of consciousness going on. It is a time to appreciate the simple things we often take for granted. It is time to make investments in our life, but not investments of a material level, but more an investmant into what is actually missing in your life. If you find that you have little or no friends, the look at this area and put yourself in a position where you can make friends. Push yourself forward. If there is a rift in your family then dont sit around to wait for someone else to make the first move, but take those important steps forward to invest time in connecting with family. If it is work that is the problem, then focus with intention to be successful. Put all your energy into achieving your desired goal, rather than just plodding along and waiting for something to turn up. We each have the power to take the bull by the horns and take control of our own lives.

The spirit world also taught us that co-operation was very important to intergrate into our lives. Many people especially teachers, often feel they can do everything themselves without asking for help. The current shift is also bringing people together so we in many ways go back to our roots and communicate in the old fashioned way. Remember, before mobiles, text messages and e.mails, our lives were alot more personal. We as a human race have been losing touch with friendship and support. Relaying on the keyboard and computer screen, is not a support and educational system that assists in consciousness. It may create awareness but it also takes away the uses of our commitment to ourselves and our development as a human being.

We all need support, love, friendship in our lives and world, to survive. We were shown that when the going gets tough, or we need help then to ask for help. Dont be a martyr to the cause and feel that you cant ask anyone.

We would just like to say that without the connection to spirit then the circle would not be possible, so we are grateful for their co-operation, as they are grateful for ours. As we develop as humand beings, our guides and loved ones also develop in their own way.

We would also like to thank everyone who attends our meetings. Without you,, the circle would not exist. Being a Catalyst for all this is extremely rewarding.

We wish to thank those who attended

In search of Development and wholeness

In search of Development and wholeness

So many people are searching, trying to find a way forward through the stresses of daily life. Everything that happens to us on this path through life, happens for a reason. We can not be the judge of our decisions as this only limits the movement forward. As we begin to find a direction, that we feel we wish to develop, an overwhelming sense of self discovery kicks into play bringing with it an abundance of opportunities and spiritual abundance.

When I mention the word abundance, I am not soley focusing upon the financial aspect that the "West" has its primary focus upon. Abundance can incorporate Love, happiness, friendships, learning and evolvement, health and wellness and work opportunities. Abundance is everything. Yet if we are to develop and become whole we also need to balance our existance by experiencing hardships and upheavels as they assist in feeding our soul and give us inner strength when facing adversity.

Those people who wish to develop their medium and healing gifts often have overcome some great struggle in life before they are drawn to the path. Every situation makes us the person we are today. It is the only way forward to evolve and a spiritual being.

Why are we here on earth?
This has been asked so many times. Basically we are here to evolve. The only way we can evolve is to learn. Now I am sure you have experienced an upheavel or stress or even an embarracing situation, which you may never wish to repeat again. The reason you may never wish to repeat the cycle is because you have learned that that passage in life is not good for your soul to develop. It did not settle with you, but it gave you experience. However it has also assisted you in helping another person in need. There may come a time in your life where a person crosses your path who is going through the cycle you once experienced. In this situation you own empathy and compassion and maybe in a position to assist that person.

How can I develop my awareness?
Awareness is everything that assists with knowing the self. If you dont know who you are, how can you be in a position to help others. It is very true with many healers(channels) , that many who embark upon this path are in fact "people pleasers" and spend much of their time helping others before themselves until they get to a point of burning themselves out. By knowing the self, you are able to access what your own needs are as well as giving you a deeper understanding of others. Lets take Reiki as an example. Mikao Usui who rediscovered the Reiki system in the late 1800s, began working in a beggers camp where he assisted in helping the sick. He healed them which assisted them in going to look for work. However he noticed that they started coming back and begging. At this point he realized that he had assisted with their wellbeing physically, but had not healed their thoughts. As with many Philosophies, Mikao Usui introduced 5 Reiki principles. These are actually quite profound and can teach us to live in the moment. This is in part what "Spirit" teach us, but as a human race find hard to grasp.
The Reiki Principles are: Just for Today, I release all anger, Just for Today, I release all worry, Just for Today, I honour my teachers through life, Just for Today, I earn my living honestly(and work on myself), Just for today I am kind to every living thing. I feel if we have something to live by, to focus upon this can give us a greater understanding of who we are. Meditation is also a fantastic way in which to become aware of the self. One of the most powerful meditations is "sitting in the silence". One of the most beautiful experiences is sitting in a group of 10-18 persons in complete silence.

How often do you stop and make time for yourself?
If you find it hard to answer this question then believe it or not, you are a "people pleaser". Too many people go through their life pleasing other peoples needs and in the process forgetting who they are and why they are here.
Spiritual development and mediumship does not happen overnight. There are also many facets to this development. If you are running around like a headless chicken seeing to the needs of everyone else, then you are not making the time for your own healing and development. Listening is also another aspect to take on board. Many people pleasers have selective hearing or are often excellent at helping other people in situations but dont do anything to help themselves. Too many times I have seen the effects of burnout. Fortunately I was able to observe others mistakes before approaching that experience, however a few years ago I came close to it. It was as though I pulled the breaks before getting into that situation. However it gave me knowledge in assisting people with their development and awareness.
Learning to say NO, is a wonderful experience especially when you would normally say YES. Time for the self is incredibly empowering as well as helping you to find Time. Now anyone who says "I have too much happening in my life", "I havent got time", is just an excuss. Some people like to remain in the comfort zone. These people find it hard to change and move forward. If you really want to develop and work with spirit then you have to re-evaluate your life and find time for that to happen.

What does awareness mean?
This is a general term in knowing yourself. Additionally, when you know yourself, you have a greater understanding of your clients. Awareness can teach you to get in touch with the emotions. For example let us take the emotion "ANGER". Anger tends to derive from situations that are beynd your control. Therefor the issue of CONTROL has a part to play in the situation as des FEAR. If you get in touch with how you personally feel when you feel this emotion, the effects it has on the body, the organs affected, the temperature of the body, the movements and so forth. Once realized, if at a later stage when you are giving a reading and suddenly you are feeling the sense of anger in your body, then you will be able to give forward a message from spirit with the way they were feeling at that time. Additionally if your path is healing(I recommend this path first to any "wanna be medium" as it gives a greater connection to spirit)then the clairsentient ability (clear feeling) comes to the fore.

How can I meet my spirit guide?
Although mediums can connect to the spirit world and bring forth guidance, I personally feel it is beneficial for people to find their own guides. "Let love be their guidance". I have written and recorded some easy to follow visualizations /meditations that take you from this world to the next. Within these you are able to meet your own guides and establish connection in your own enviroment.
Signs are always given by spirit, but unfortunately we are all too often too busy to take notice f what spirit are trying to say to us. Once again either sitting in the silence and asking for a sign, is often all that is needed when wanting to make a connection. Sometimes it can be a confirmation of a flower or a feather or something that only you know you have asked for that is received to give you confirmation of who they are. The emotion that comes into play here is the word TRUST. Our intuition is based upon what we receive and what we trust.

Symbolic Whispers Column

Symbolic Whispers
www.alternative-world.org
www.spanishsunnewspaper.com/

Due to the popularity of the Symbolic Whispers Development Circle, we have now expanded to reach the inland areas. Now the meetings meet twice a month in Fuengirola at Miramar Las Palmeras and twice monthly in Coin at Villa la Paz.

The question we are asked most often is , How do I become a Medium?
Well the first thing one needs to do is to still the mind and become aware of the self.
Self awareness is so important and can be achieved easily through deep relaxation, meditation and visualization. Some people believe that they are unable to relax. I have heard this so many times, yet once taught the simple steps to accessing deep relaxation and meditation, the connection to self is achieved.

One of the principle reasons for knowing the self is to be able to differinciate between messages from the spirit world and your own personal existance here on earth. Many healers and lightworkers are especially prepared to connect with spirit as they have already accessed the self and spiritual understanding of being a channel for energy. However there are many who posess a natural gift of communication and only need to be nudged in the right direction to embrace their unique gifts.

Messages come in many forms. Sometimes it is through a scent like perfume or tobacco. Those of you, and I am sure there are many who have lost a parent or loved one, may have expereinced a visitation, just once. This may have been a knowing that someone was there, a tickle like hair brushing across your face, a scent of their favorite perfume, the smell of their cigar. You may have seen your departed loved one sat on your bed bidding you goodnight or even a soft caress and a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Receiving Messages
Believe it or not, but many of us actually receive messages from spirit on a regular basis, but are often too busy to pay attention to what is being offered and sent our way. Sometimes when spirit are trying to get ur attention , it is not uncommon for electrical problems to manifest, such as televisions r computers to falter. These are mdes of communication. They are mediums to which we connect to to receive the news and programmes. That is often the message they are trying to relay. Either cntact a medium to receive the messages they are trying to convey to yu or find a way in which you can develop yourself.

When you mention the word "spirit" who are you talking about?
Spirit can be represented by a deceased loved one to whom you had a heart connection. Heart connection means a relationship with or a family/friend/client connection. Spirit can also be termed to represent the Energy of God. After all we are all one energy and are all connected to that which is whole. Spirit can be used as the general term in connection of the material and earthly existance to the spirit world we know and understand as heaven or the other-side.

Symbolic Whispers
www.spirit-link.blogspot.com

Introduction
Symbolic Whispers offers you insight into the spirit world and self and spiritual development. The Symbolic Whispers development Circle is based in Fuengirola, in Southern Spain. Its primary task is to teach training mediums and light-workers to create a stronger connection to the spirit world and Universal Consciousness.

Through this column we aim to highlight the connection to the spirit world. Please send in your questions conserning the spirit world. If you would like a reading please write one question and a reply will be given in the following edition or to you privately.

What is the point in trying to connect to the spirit world?
Scientists have been trying to prove that there is life after death, yet mediums through the centuries have connected and brought back proof that there is an existance beyond this one. Many people who have lost a loved one often feel the need to connect with their departed, for their own healing and coming to terms as well as closure to emotional hurt and bereavement. Connecting to the spirit world assists in healing both for the departed as well as those left behind.
We can also learn alot about ourselves and our life purpose. It is not only those who have departed that are contacted for assistance, but also spirit guides, Guardian Angels, Ascended Masters and spiritual teachers.

What is a development Circle?
A development circle is aimed at developing the spiritual self as well as learning methods of communication. Although it is not a healing circle, healing does take place. The development circle helps to assist with your own needs of spiritual development. Each person may have different gifts such as Clairvoyant ( clear seeing/visual) clairsentient (clear feeling sensing) clairaudient ( Clear hearing) or of course a combination of all. You may be psychic, where you have an ability to know about a persons life and read their minds. You may have an incredible gift where you can see spirit and communicate with them. Unless you are aware of yourself, you will not know what gifts you have or how to develop them further.

How do I know I have found the right circle for me?
If you are attending a development circle, you should feel uplifted by the end of the evening. You may have a headache around your thirdeye, yet this is normal in the beginning as you are starting to use a muscle that has not been used before. A circle should focus upon opening with a prayer or an uplifting song. Meditation on the light and protecting yourself with the aura. Your chakras should also be opened and activated to teach you to become a channel for the energy, a working medium. You are after all the transmitter. This needs to be in a good working order to enable you to make a stronger connection. Closing down is also important as you can not remain open to spirit all the time.

I have heard reports where people have attended circles and felt drained or have received negative messages. This is therefore a circle that is not working for the highest good of the members of the circle.

Spiritual development, confidence and healing are often felt during meetings. Many people comment that they feel a great sense of peace or a powerful sense of love. It is not uncommon to feel tearful especially when spirit is close. Overall connecting to the other-side is a special gift to be nurtured.

Why are we here?

This is the million dollar question. Why is it that so many people question this?
It appears quite obvious that our main reason for existing is to learn. Learning enables us to evolve and s to become whole. Wholeness is the ultimate goal for the soul. The human body contains a soul and attributed to that soul in this current lifetime is your spirit. The spirit contains within it your personality.

As we evolve we add through lifetimes to learn different aspects of human consciousness. We learn about the spectrum of personality and experience within the world. The world is a reflection of our existance and tells us the story of how and why we are here.

There is the builder. He is here to construct. There is the teacher, he/she is here to pass on knowledge. The chef is here to feed us, the roadworker is here to maintain, the dustman to clear the rubbish, the shop keeper to sell so we can buy and so forth. The world can not exist without each of us here. This is what we are learning. To appreciate every aspect. Even the murderer teaches us that there is right and wrong. However in the spirit world, judgement does not exist as we are all aspects of the same consciousness.

It may be hard to understand but it is true. The churches responsibility to man is to show that there is a connection from our world to the next. Judgement is not a part of its existance thugh mans invasion into belief has given birth to a differing system. Spirituality however teaches unconditional love for all without making boundries. Everyone deserves unconditional love irrelevant f what they have said or done in their life. Their place in the world has taught someone something positive, which is the universal reasn as to why we are here.
