Poem - Signposts

Wed, 13 Apr 2016 03:04:50 GMT

One of the many things I do is read cards. I don't do it actively now, but for several years I used a Cosmic Tarot deck as my primary tool. The poem “Signposts” reflects on some things I've observed as a reader.

Signposts

The cards do confess what may come to pass.
The reader intuits the picture's meanings.
Don't mistaken their cues for fixtures of fate.
The veil is still thick when lifelines conflict.

Give time it's fell due, the mystery persists.
The window is small when cards are at play.
Mere months may be seen, if all hold their course.
To know is to change events close at hand.

The cards ask the querent to heed what is shown.
To leap or to dodge matters more in the long.
The moods of the mortal have weight more than gods.
Signposts are fluid when intention holds strong.

Poem - Reading with Benefits

Sat, 28 Feb 2015 04:37:56 GMT

For the record, Mila Kunis is hot. Ok, with that said, I've been reading about why people read poetry. The answers were varied, but one humorous line of thought inspired me to write the poem "Reading with Benefits".

Reading with Benefits
Poem for Day 057 – 20150227

What happens when the dry tomes end,
and angst and passion begins?
They have a prose made for that
and it goes by the name poetry.

More than a passing greeting card,
less than a full blown novel,
poetry provides that needed relief
when you've got that itch to scratch.

Admitting the reading of poetry
is just a polite way you will see
to say that you strayed from the cultivated
and pandered a desire to be pleased.

Read a poet, and then another,
flit from one to the other,
they'll never know your dalliance,
you're be gone from them in moments.

Deliver the goods, with a bit of a rhyme,
passion invoked by lyrics combined.
This much fun shouldn’t be legal at all,
tisk tisk the poet for writing amoral!

Good enough to hang with, and to read with,
but to be with one would wonder.
Hide the poetry books well,
lest your dear old mother discover.

Is the prose dark and sensual,
or does it tickle your fancy?
Be big or small, it is quite fun
to sample the breadth of rhyme.

So indulge your favorite poet,
they'll give you a naughty treat.
Poetry will lead your life
into reading with benefits.

Polite Psychics

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 16:45:22 GMT

A friend of mine is having some difficulties. I thought about peering over their shoulder psychically, but decided not to because it just is not polite, nor is it safe. This blog is about the ethics and safety of psychic reading.

I can do some pretty wiz-bang stuff in the psychic area. I have the potential to do a lot, but I mostly just use intuition to guide myself through the day. I am willing to read a person if their world is bumping into mine, but the focus is on me instead of them. I hold back on the wiz-bang stuff until I am asked, or given permission, to psychically read a person.

Why hold back? Wouldn’t it be really neat to know what people are thinking or what their motivations are? Yeah, about as neat as reading their mail or listening in on their phone conversations. That is to say, it would be more creepy than neat. There are also some very practical reasons why the intuitive person should mind their manners!

People have all kinds of shields. Some are benign, some are not. The benign shields hide the person from psychic thought. Another variety bounces the intuitive probe to a nearby person. You get information, but it is the wrong info. More rarely, but still possible, are the defensive shields that have some “bite”. You don’t get the information and you get a unpleasant surprise.
Some people are readable, but you really don’t want to go there. Think about swimming in toxic waste. My heart goes out to paid psychics who have to dive into some awfully murky waters. Energetically separating yourself from a querent is serious business.
A variant of the shields plus icky people: some people have “beings” around them that would love to mess with the intuitive. Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries guys. If you’ve met these you know what I mean. If you haven’t, well count yourself lucky.
My personal opinion: there are some levels of psychic information that is only available with the cooperation of the querent. They have to give you permission.
You may learn stuff that you really don’t want to know. The thing once seen cannot be unseen. This happens even when people given their permission. With their permission, I was reading a friend recently and saw some things that I chose not to repeat. The information was pretty nasty and I am not infallible, so I chose to give it a pass.
Finally, psychic readers, even really good ones, are fallible. They will misread a querent for any number of good reasons. Another variety of this is that the information is good, but the interpretation is bad. A psychic reader has their own experience as a filter, and there are people with lives so different that the interpretation is faulty. It is good to be able to talk with a querent so situations like this can be sorted out. Blind reading does not offer the opportunity to correct psychic misinterpretations.

That’s a start. Can you think of any points to add? Do you disagree with any of my points? Feedback please!
