What Is Reality Anyways?

Chapter Seven

There are approximately 7,515,284,153 people on our planet right now. That means, there are approximately 7,515,284,153 separate realities taking place on our planet right now. Let that sink in for a moment.

Our sensory systems are being manipulated through controlled scents, sounds, and subliminal visuals. The main sources of this are through television, the internet, film, and marketing. Add to that, what we learn in school, family values, and the environment that each person has been placed in. Although we are all spirits having a human experience, no human experience is exactly like the other. Pretty incredible! In chapter seven, I share a few personal stories of my sensory experiences that some may label in the clairvoyant categories or just plain delusional. :o) But do remember, the reality we live in is always up for debate.

The Ego

Chapter Six: The Earthly Gorgeous Outfit

I offered a suggestion of theory that the Ego is the collective consciousness of the physical body. I am not stating this as a scientist nor a therapist so take it as you will.  It is just a reasonable conclusion in a world full of possibilities. And it is not in anyway my end all conclusion for this topic of discussion, but I do believe that this topic of discussion has many possibilities and can open doors of the mind to search further. 
The one thing I do conclude is that the Ego is a vital part of who and what we are. To destroy it would be to destroy the essence of this human experience. I do think it is important however to work with our Ego and set a goal to become a loving and healthy ego. The Ego is what makes us all different from each other. And because we all have one, it is our unity as well.

Synchronicity

Chapter 5: Synchronicity

I have often heard that synchronicity is God’s way of communicating. Synchronicities are like the crumbs of bread that lead you back to your path getting you on track again. Some will argue that it is all coincidental, and that is fine, to each their own as always.  But after so many years of observing what we call synchronicity and coincidental happenings, I do not believe in the latter. 

What I love most about synchronicities is that they mostly transpire as little things placed within our daily lives. For example, I was thinking about should I go to the Tattoo Expo, or should I not go to it because I really could not afford to, but I really should go because from a journalist point of view, I really could not afford to not go … and so the wheels of my mind turned as I stood on the sidewalk waiting for a bus to arrive. As I stood there, I noticed the VUE Weekly paper in the newspaper box and grabbed a copy. As I flipped it over and looked at the back page my eyes immediately fell upon the half page advertisement for the Edmonton Tattoo & Arts Festival. You just can’t make this kind of shit up, seriously. 

Some of the most profound learning experiences for me came in the form of being connected by a series of synchronicities. In my book Flight of the White Crow, I have shared one of these stores and called it, The Eye of My Ego. Life has taught me to never underestimate the connection we have to all things around us, whether that be people, animals, situations or music. Life itself is a communications device. And when we pay attention to the conjunctions, life becomes even more interesting.

Chapter 4: The Power of the Mind ... and our thoughts.


Knowing that a person’s thoughts are a powerful tool for manifesting their desires or goals should be a very empowering idea. We should rejoice in knowing that each person has an amazing ability within them. But so many people find that the reality is, this powerful tool can also be a person’s worst enemy. 

People are told to think positive and absorb uplifting thoughts so that they will manifest bright and shiny futures. In a harmonious and joyful world that would be an easy endeavor. But the truth is that we live in a world where almost every person is bombarded with negative projections. Through media forms and everyday human interaction, we receive messages that the world has fallen apart and we are all swimming in a pool of loathing and victim-hood.  However, we also abundantly receive the messages of hope, love and unity. But which of those messages provoke stronger emotions? Perhaps this is where people have to be mindful and disciplined by knowing which programs being received are getting a stronger response in the internal system.  

But here is a problem, we are told to think positive by using uplifting affirmations and told to not think about what isn’t working in our lives. Honestly, I kind of see that as having someone holding your head under water and saying, “don’t think about how you are about to run out of air” or “just ignore being wet”. And I also have to admit that one of the things that personally concerns me the most is when I am going through PMS. Ladies, you know what I am talking about. You hate the world and the world hates you. And then poof … everything is ok again. I have to wonder how much of this emotional imbalance actually has an impact on our manifestations.  Would this mean that every twenty eight days women's efforts are erased and they begin again?
Controlling  thoughts is a tricky business. There are lots of tools out there to assist people in maintaining some control over their thoughts, but it can be a journey of trial and error until he or she has found the technique that works well for them. And sometimes the tools need to be changed up. I find that when I have anxiety, I need to disconnect from the world for a short time, so maybe taking a nap is what I need. Upon waking up, the restart switch has been triggered. When I am feeling overwhelmed with ideas, just doing some old fashion house cleaning seems to quiet my mind. And I have also learned that when I just spontaneously begin to have bizzar negative daydreams, instead of pushing them away, I pay attention to them so that I can have a better understanding of what is going on in my subconscious mind. 

It is my belief that healing our thoughts so that we can project a healthy life is a very personal journey. Each of us are living under different circumstances with different environments, different types of foods, and different types of communities. There are many connecting factors, but still each is individually unique. A million different people, a million different realities. Therefore, a person can gather many great tools, but must remember that he or she must be in charge of their own personal journey.

Chapter 3: Angel Allies

Many religions speak of angels coming to visit with people, except that in the ancient days the testimonies only spoke about angels appearing to the people of special selection. Today, the only special selection is for those who take the time to listen or connect to the angels. Communicating with Angels is not by any means an unusual thing. If you go online you will find all kinds of people doing angel reading cards, clairvoyant angel readings, and those who teach others to communicate with their own angels.. I personally feel that many of these people are indeed sincere and really want others to learn that we are all capable of opening up the doors of understanding the messages that our angels send us. But the truth is that communicating with angels has become a big business. 

I would like to be clear that I do not see myself as an Angel Whisper who has a complete understanding of them … far from it. I feel blessed for the interaction that I have experienced so far, but like any relationship, they need a lot of work, and as soon as you think you’ve got it all figured out, you come to understand that there is just so much more that needs to be learned and practiced. Therefore, chapter three is my personal experiences with angels that comes from my personal perspective and nothing more.  

From a young age, I was influenced through the Catholic church that angels were there to call upon if we felt that we needed their help. As a child, I always prayed to God, but not the angels. I guess I figured it was better to go straight for the Big G. It wasn’t until the time I was eighteen and had been visited by the angel in my room (the Angels in the Shadows story). I didn’t actually call upon this angel. She came to me of her own will or answered a prayer via God.  And it wasn’t until later in my life that I understood the significance of working with angels. The idea of having Arch Angel Michael on speed dial didn’t occur until he was suggested to me by a friend to be called upon when I was in danger. So it was while I was in transition from being in a unhealthy and dangerous relationship that I began to call on Michael. From there, it seems, we became very aware of each other. The night that angel Michael manifested himself into human form was the night that I could no longer hold on to any doubts that I still might  have had. That story is on page 74 in chapter three.  

Since then, I have wavered in and out of communication with my personal angels. That would be my fault, not theirs. I am sure many people can relate when I say that it is easy to get caught up in the life drama and become absorbed in the illusion, disconnecting from the source energy. That would be me, time and time again. But they are loyal and patient, and often seem to send me little reminders from time to time that can only be associated to the angelic realm. Synchronicities can be a powerful communication system. One thing that was really interesting that happened while writing this book was that an angel whom I had not been acquainted with by my view was trying to get my attention. At first she came through during dreamtime, but then there were a series of synchronicities that that was like breadcrumbs leading to the house. I don’t want to give the story completely away but I do want to share a photo of an orb that kept appearing on photos I had taken during the winter full moons. This orb, from what I understand is in connection with an arch angel. I was really surprised by this because I have only known orbs to be of a spirit/ghost type energy. But because of my newest experiences, I am now open to the idea that orbs can also be the energy of an angel. 

                     (from the story She's Got My Back on page 83 )

If asked what my advise would be pertaining to angels, I would say to remember that unless you are in the practice of daily devotion to be gentle on yourself when it comes to your relationship with the angels. Once you have opened up the channel, meaning to have prayed or conversed mentally with your said angel, give them permission to always help you no matter what, even when you go into the trance of illusion and feel cut off. You are never fully cut off. That too is an illusion. They will remind you they are there. It is up to us to stop and be quiet enough to listen. 

For those of you looking for teachers to help you connect with your angels, I think Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine are really good people to start with.

Chapter 2 : UFO's and Aliens


It seems that the argument of do aliens exist or do not exist will always be an ongoing disagreement amongst humans. Taking a peek into society, just look at how we interact over politics, religion, sports, or even music; humans will disagree just to disagree. So when someone wants to argue with me about the existence of extraterrestrials, I chose to not engage. I chose not to engage because the reality is that the main thing that will change a person's mind is if he or she has a personal first hand experience. The existence of aliens … not worth the argument. I am completely convinced that they exist. And I think it is safe to say that millions of other people believe in them to. My intentions are not to transform people into believers, but rather, to bond with those who have already had the experience or at least are open minded to the existence of other humanoids sharing our planet and dimension. 

People from many cultures have been sharing stories of the star people for centuries. Images upon cave drawings, tapestries and Egyptian hieroglyphics narrate the history of man's interaction with extraterrestrials. And lots of modern day classified information has leaked out by governments from around the world confirming that, yes, we humans are not alone. Apparently there are over twenty different types of alien races that are interacting with earth.  Even people like the old Canadian Minister of Defense, Paul Hellyer,  has come forward to say we are not alone. That has got to at least tell a person to open up their minds to the possibility. 

But you know what, all this stuff isn’t why I am convinced of alien shenanigans. I am convinced because of my own experiences and because of the experiences of the people I know first hand. I know people who have woken up with body marks, lumps, or missing time. I met a man who has investigated cow mutilations first hand. The one problem I have with all the technical disclosure though, is that there are many types of aliens or other beings that do not use space ships or need vehicles. Not all abductions are done by being beamed up with a light to a ship. And this is where a lot of the confusion comes in. 

To be honest with you, I am not really sure how to explain this, other than transportation can occur through vibrational rates, dimensions, and dreamtime … all combined. I’m sure for those humans that are really good at this, they can easily alter their frequency and zip into a state of astral traveling to connect with some races that are on a different dimension.  This is where a lot of people get off the ET train because it just seems like a far stretch of the imagination. But this is also where we start to get into the quantum science part of it. The problem is that although lots has been revealed and discovered in quantum science, there is still so much we do not know or understand. The unknown asks us to rearrange our information pertaining to what we once thought we knew. Let me explain it this way … In one of the stories I share, I talk about a time where I woke up from dreamtime in my own bed knowing that in dreamtime ‘someone’ had performed a medical procedure on me. In the morning there was a perfect circle mark that looked like it came from a suction cup. My skin within the circle was super smooth.  I had absolutely no recollection of a spacecraft, but I do remember waking up in my own body. In this chapter, I talk about the many incidents that reflect some kind of a contact during dreamtime. Some people may laugh at the idea of dreamtime being a portal to dimensions, but I think the Aboriginals of Australia have it right by viewing dreamtime as the old time of the ancestor beings, which can be viewed as the home of the ancestors. 

What I’m think is that, as we evolve as humans, so does our capabilities to extend our understanding of the possibilities that surround us, especially as a collective species. The first people were in touch with our star ancestors, and now centuries later, we are reconnecting and remembering the lost knowledge. 

Maybe it isn’t the governments that are hiding the information, but rather it is the extraterrestrials that will decide when it is time for disclosure. Since there is many different types of them, perhaps they cannot come to an agreement. Lol.  Honestly, if they wanted every human to know they exist, every human would know they exist. 

I am including the picture of the mark that was on me because I think it is difficult to see it clearly in the book and I would like to have it available for those who want a better look at it. But if you want to know the full story, you will have to read my book. :o)

#5SecondRule

Being an entrepreneur or following your creative dreams is not for the light hearted. In fact, it is a journey that can take you to places you would rather not go. It ranges from depression, joy, hopelessness, inspired, fear, hopefulness, despair, humor, anger, pride, anxiety, etc...you get the bird's eye view. For me, following my bliss has taught me many things. But I’d have to say the biggest struggle is knowing when to walk away and knowing when to persist. I’m still trying to get that figured out. 

There is a movie on Netflix called One Chance and stars James Corden. It is the true story about a boy named Paul Potts who grows up wanting to be an opera singer. Paul went through many ups and downs before he finally reached his goals. There is one part in the movie that I related to. It was when he got his voice back and he is thrilled yelling “I can sing again” and he immediately gets hit by a car and winds up back in the hospital. LoL  Not funny, I know. But it is that moment when you really start to believe that life is trying to tell you to put your dream back in your pocket and give up. Only to find that your heart is now broken because your heart knows that your desire is truly the right path. Just the timing and maybe the avenue is a little off course. 

When I am in a down time, I have learned a little trick called the 5 second rule by Mel Robbins. In the morning when I struggle to get up...I do the #5secondrule. 5,4,3,2,1, jump up. I’ll deal with the rest of me once my ass is out of bed. I find this little game a gem to maneuver around my mind’s limitations. For example, it's ok to have a little cry in the afternoon, but then I tell myself after the count down, the tears get wiped and I must get back to work. For those who struggle like I do, I hope you will check out Mel Robbins and find some inspiration from her videos to keep yourself on track and moving forward. For those of us who do not have a real live person in our corner to lean on, these kinds of little tips really are tools for the trade.

Challenges for an INDIE Author

This weekend has been a bit challenging for me. There were lots of really great things that happened, like on Friday, I had a good interview with a participant for the Tattoo women's project And on Saturday, my son had a final soccer tournament and they won gold. So some of the weekend was totally awesome. But what took me for a tail spin was when my book Ursula’s Umbrellas was delivered on Friday night to my door. I opened it thinking it was going to look exactly like the copy I had already proofed. Nope. For some reason, for god only knows what reason, my computer had glitched and eliminated the whole copyright section and glitched one of the pictures making one character disappearing between the pages. Now this was devastating for three reasons. One, I had worked on re-doing the illustrations for the past year and this was to be the final copy. This book has been in a state of perfecting since 2007. That is a long time to be tweaking a children's book. But because of new programs being developed and the self publishing industry always on the change, Ursula’s Umbrellas changed with it. Second reason, Indie authors are frowned upon by many people because the quality of our work isn’t always on par with the traditionally published authors. Truth is, many indie authors do not have the funds to compete with the big publishing houses. Most writers struggle financially and to have a publishing team...you have to put out the money. So for me to have a book that is now flawed, I am horribly embarrassed. And third thing is that I really wanted to be done with this book. I was done. Oh, and a fourth thing, this means my computer is completely messed up. I knew it had some issues, but this!  Good grief.

Of course I went crying to my Oracle cards, “Why, why did this happen? “  Its reply, Reversed “by the book”.  Lol   Yup, and ya can’t make this shit up...it actually had “by the book” in protective position.

Well, It is in the Amazon and Barnes & Noble bookstore and I am leaving it there. Still the same great story and illustrations, just the technical book info is gone. Sigh. Kids will never know the difference. It’s done, I’m done, and moving on to my new project.

Did I mention, I caught the flu.

Thanks for listening!

Chapter One: Spirits Among Us



This was probably one of the easiest chapters for me to write about. I think it is safe to say that there are more people out there who have experienced or encountered a ghost than there are people who have not. It may have only been a one time thing, but that one time would certainly never be forgotten. So for me to write about my supernatural ghostly experiences was kind of fun. The spooky part was already over and the joy is always in the retelling of the story.


But for those who are skeptics, I was sure to include some other documented entries such as the very first ghost story to be written. This story was written by Pliny The Younger ( A.D 62?–c.A.D.113). I also included the first photograph of the ghost Lady Dorothy Walpole who later became The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall in Norfolk, New England. The photograph was taken in 1936 by a London-based photographer, Captain Hubert C. Provand and his assistant, Indre Shira of the Country Life Magazine.  This photo changed the personal paradigm for thousands of people.

As for my own stories, some of them will just have to stand on their own merit, but a few of them actually do come with a special photo. It was a very special night that I was able to get a photo of a spirit in its mist form and then a second later turn into an orb. It is actually the first and only time I have personally seen this. I have taken lots of orb pictures, but never have I captured the spirit in two separate forms before. And the other very special picture you will find in this chapter is of me with three spirits swirling around my body. At the time I could hear them and feel them, but not see them. When I first saw the picture I was excited to see the anomaly, but not very surprised because it was an intense experience.

It was interesting to see the history of my life unfolding around a world of superstition and ghosts. From childhood to the present time, my world moves in the flow of the thin veil that separates those within the form of matter and those who are purely energetic. But I have to tell you that I would never be a professional medium or seer. For one thing, I really don’t want to, and for another, I don’t think I could manually turn it on when I needed to. I seem to just blunder into the situation or spontaneously communicate with spirits. I’m sure there are many sensitive people who can relate to that.

My book Flight of the White Crow of the is available at Amazon.com and Barnes &Noble.  Hope you check it out, and especially hope you enjoy reading it.

The Forward

Now that my book Flight of the White Crow is available to the public, I will be talking freely about the content within the book. To open the gateway, I am posting the Forward of the book 

Forward
It always amazes me at how far our civilized world has come in technology, modern medicine and the collective communications, and yet at a macro level, we are not much farther ahead at solving the natural mysteries that surround us. Perhaps we have not found our answers because we are so engrossed in the human linear evolution that we tend to overlook the magic of what is truly in front of us and within us. There is a whole universe just waiting to reveal itself, and that universal quest begins here on earth, and within each and every living thing. Missing links, UFO's, spirits, angels, and strange unexplained creatures taunt us to explore the hidden world that is not really hiding, but rather, waiting to be found. And it might be interesting to ask ourselves what part of this world did we co-create or manifest? I've always felt that, "if the devil didn't exist, he sure in the hell does now."

When people ask me if I believe in paranormal activities, I've often replied that my life is a paranormal activity. Coming from a line of superstitious sensitives, the doors of the unknown were opened up to me from a very young age. I actually didn't have to go looking for strange occurrences or mysterious mishaps; they came to find me. In my home it wasn't unusual to have a ghost or spirit sharing the house. It was normal to search the skies at night for UFOs. And we were taught to ask the question, "What if?" Our environment and the people surrounding us have a great impact in contributing experiences and information into our lives and our belief system. Therefore, I had always thought it was rather strange for a person to not believe in ghosts, or Bigfoot, or UFOs. And if there was one thing I had learned from this upbringing is that there is always another mystery around life's invisible corners. 

Some people may find it difficult to believe that all these things can actually happen to one person, which is perfectly understandable. But the truth is the truth, and I will not betray my authenticity to please another's doubts. These stories are my truths. These stories are the spiritual and paranormal stepping stones of my life. It is your free will to take it or leave it.

Flight of the White Crow




It is here...it is finally here...



Not only did I finish writing it...it is now published and for sale online. I am so grateful to my friends (Bruno, Johnny, and Mikayla)  who read the PDF and gave me some really great feedback. Your comments were so valuable for many reasons. It was very difficult for me to share some of this stuff, but your enthusiasm gave me the confidence to go ahead and move forward. And thank you to my acquaintance Raymond Yakeleya for telling me that it is good to share these stories because there may be someone out there who struggles with their own experiences. By sharing we help each other. 

I also have to admit that I am really pleased with myself for the book cover. Those crows were just a few houses down from where I live and allowed me to take some really wonderful pictures. Although I did do some photo shop to it, the sky is authentic. I basically just put in the fog effect and coloured a crow white. The front and back of the book make the full picture. 

The book is available in softcover and as an eBook
