Hi Stephen, thanks for your interest! Do point to some Google Video documenturies or similar of the kind of mining you do if you can. And congratulations on having someone special in your life whose awareness goes beyond five senses. I'll answer this in a way to make it relevant to free music people reading this. As a rule, you can bet that any knowledge that is generally considered weird, kooky, crazy, or dangerous is knowledge that has potential to empower you to, for example, produce free music and give it away as your full-time occupation. This knowledge is labeled 'paranormal', which means nothing else than 'outside the spectrum of what is generally agreed to be true.'. Some research into the field has revealed to me that 'what is generally agreed to be true' takes form as a result of 'what I can admit is true without becoming the target of public hazing and loss of my income'. These two efforts, so my sources (David Icke is one of them... Google Video search the guy, he's amazing), are co-ordinated systematically in a sort of grand plan to control people. Essentially, what is going on in terms of public opinion is that it is a tool to keep real investigation from taking place. Being the subject of ridicule since childhood (somehow I simply was unable to suppress my differing from the norm) I researched these things and came to some astonishing conclusions: * The physical reality is a miniscule part of reality itself * Emotions, intuition (hunches) and imagination (including musical!) are our awareness of those other parts of reality * There are many other realities we are completely unaware of. So that's why I'd like to ditch the label 'paranormal' and refer to the world we cannot hear, see, taste, touch or smell as the 'non-physical'. So what you're asking me is, how do you deal with non-physical beings attempting to control you? Well, just the same way you deal with any fear, you go straight at it. That doesn't mean you attack, you simply don't attempt to suppress the emotion or alter it in any way, you just feel it. That is somewhat similar to ignoring, but it is not an active thing; you don't "turn your back" on it, you simply experience it without giving it a lot of relevance. By this process it is impossible for whatever you are experiencing to come back. Why? You didn't give it any relevance. So yes, you have the power to alter anything in your life you don't like, even pesky uninvited guests from non-physical places. Just keep in mind it's *you* who are running the show. After all, when you get to certain metaphysical levels of ourselves, it is impossible to tell us apart, we are the same stuff. And that's the level you fix the problem at ("remove" or "harmonize" would be more accurate) and it goes away for good. When you attempt to fight it at a different level it was created on (the physical), that's when you feel powerless. It's like introducing a programming bug before it was compiled, and then trying to look through the machine code to fix the program. After all, this is what's running my life, it must make some sense! So when you realize you have to look into the source code (your thoughts) and fix the problem (your assumptions) there, the problem in physical events (what might be considered external from the perspective of your body but really is not) magically go away. So you know what to tell anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who ever attempts to control you? You tell him that he can go fuck himself. That goes for the physical OR non-physical all the same, because the only one dictating where your life is going is YOU, and when you allow yourself to have that power, that's when your life starts to take off. NOBODY is in control of you but YOU. Assume that and it becomes real and you get anything you like from this world. Anything. And as for my part, that something is 'More Free Software' and 'Free Music that persuades people to participate in Free Culture' and ultimately, 'change of society for the good of us all to achieve true freedom'. Wanna hop on board? Let me hear some music, too, or use some software! Carlo The Other schrieb:
