Dec 9, 2010 Raising Consciousness
Is your subconscious mind rattling your cage?
Does mindless materialism drive you to work every day?
You can step beyond all that negativity without any help from anyone; only your higher self.
First relax, really relax with your feet on the floor, then examine what you believe, as in: "Oh, I can't paint. I can't even draw a straight line;" "Poverty is self-inflicted." Have a look at what you dislike most among your "enemies." You may find peers among them, and a breakthrough to a higher consciousness. Freedom from negativity is yours for the asking. You have the answers within yourself. Just circumvent your subconscious mind; go around it to your true self.

OUR TROLL August 29, 2010
Our Troll
By David Giles
Silhouetted against a hazy moonlit sky one night, I saw a troll; not a dwarf Danish or Swedish troll but rather a giant Norwegian forest troll. Ugly to be sure--as trolls are supposed to be--but not fearsome at all. It peered down benevolently from its height of some 135 feet. My wife and I consider it a guardian spirit. Some observer friends see a troll, others merely an ordinary Ponderosa pine. Several see an eye like a full moon facing north. Only one person has felt unease in its presence, possibly her subconscious mind at work, wrecking her spiritual education. We’ve tendered it a gift today, placing a chunk of amethyst at its feet.
