Dear reader, PHILOSOPHY is another word for the way we think, if you think, then you too have your own philosophy, so reading about other peoples philosophy and thoughts will expand your own mind.  If you need a reason to share your philosophy - there it is ...... Stella

BELIEFS’ ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN INTELLIGENCE - WHY SHOULD THAT BE?
This may surprise a lot of people. But I really do not understand why highly intelligent people unquestioningly accept beliefs without evidence purely on the basis of ancient writings. Many were created during an age of superstition, an age where science and empiricism or formal logic did not exist. It was a time when priests used to beat the sea with sticks as a punishment for damaging their buildings. Some of these priests and rabbis were the writers of what we find to-day in the Old Testament. We do not know the exact identity or the character of these writers, or their motivation or their level of superstition or their level of spirituality. We do not even have the original, authentic Biblical texts. And there is evidence which shows that the Biblical writings have been changed many, many times. .

Psychology and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) tell us how irrational, illogical beliefs-without-evidence dominate and over-ride intelligence, even high intelligence; to avoid anxiety the believer dumps his/her intelligence refuses to read or acknowledge the existence of any information fundamentally inconsistent with our cherished beliefs. He/she ignores anything likely to create anxiety and starts to rationalize his strange and bizarre early indoctrinated beliefs. Intelligent rationale, proper analysis, and 'equitable' evaluation are interrupted and encumbered by early adverse conditioning.

Question your beliefs and if the beliefs don’t make sense – throw them out or flush them away. Develop a healthy empirical rationale for everything – guaranteed, you will be hugely better off.

"All that is essential for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing" - Edmund Burke.

The only perfect love to be found on earth is ... the wordless commitment of families, which takes as its model mother-love. Germaine Greer.

How do we do this?

By using our own spiritual 'instincts' so that we can develop and expand, even as they are doing; the path of progression is a fruitful one, but only if we are open to allowing our families and others to help us all grow.

As a mother and a teacher I have found that all children teach us too, it is a two way street, this learning thing.

When I asked, [one day feeling a bit blue] "Did I make a half good job of being a Mum?" My daughter replied "Mum, we are proud of you!"... That wasn't the question, however, I took it as a complement...!

  We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act, but a habit. ~~ Aristotle

A healthy attitude precedes a healthy life.

Spiritual Healing is for all the levels, and often when we are in the middle of our problems we do not know where those problems originate. For the healers in the spirit world that is no difficulty, they heal on all of the layers of our being, they treat whatever is needed, we only have to ask.

Spiritual Healing works, or quite simply babies and animals would not be healed - and they are!

LOVE is the Key to Healing All - and I do mean all of whatever is wrong anywhere and on any level, simply because love is right harmony, and anything else is not.

Amen to that.

When you come into a healing sanctuary you will notice there is a quiet atmosphere, this is because the healer needs to concentrate on the job at hand. No, the healer is not actually healing the patient, s/he is passing on the healing energies from the spirit world.

I have recently compacted a few short articles under each subject heading, Augst '09.

Mediumship is the connecting of two worlds but without the equipment we usually use to see with! In this section I have put the personal aspect foreword a little more.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.~ Deepak Chopra.

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Saint Augustine.

(Clairvoyance) - ORIGIN from French clair ‘clear’ + voir ‘to see’.

Pronunciation: klar-'voi-&n(t)s, kler-
Function: noun - a) the power or faculty of discerning objects not present to the senses - b) ability to perceive matters beyond the range of ordinary perception

Clairvoyance /klair voy nss/ • noun the supposed faculty of perceiving events in the future or beyond normal sensory contact.

clair·voy·ance [ klair vóyəns ] or clair·voy·an·cy [ klair vóyənsee] seeing what is not normally seen: the supposed ability to see things beyond the range of normal human vision.

[ Mid-19th century. From French, from clairvoyant “clear-sighted" from voyant , the present participle of voir “to see" ] 

WELCOME to the PSYCHIC Section

The word psychic (pronounced sai-kik ) from the Greek psychikos "of the soul, mental" refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the normal senses through what is described as extra-sensory perception, or to those people said to have such abilities.

It is also used to refer to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation [Sleight of hand, also known as prestidigitation ("quick fingers") or léger de main (from the French for "lightness of hand"), is the set …] and cold reading to produce the appearance of such abilities. It has also been used to describe the belief of the ability of the mind to influence the world physically and telekinetic powers some claim to demonstrate, such as Uri Geller.

Psychics appear regularly in fiction and science fiction, such as the The Dead Zone by Stephen King, or Jean Grey from the Marvel comic book universe and Star Wars.

A large industry exists where psychics provide advice and counsel to clients, though skeptics attribute such putative powers to intentional trickery or self-delusion. Some famous contemporary psychics include Miss Cleo, Sylvia Browne and John Edward.

Stella says:

I find this definition in 'Wikipedia' a bit odd, because scientists are all the time getting to understand many of the so-called psychic attributes.

Thought Field Therapy is using the Human Energy Field [HEF] to be rid of emotional distress. Phychics use the HEF to 'pick up' the same energies and interpret them. The problems start with 'interpretation'...

So why it is that when a so-called non-professional psychic uses this energy and a doctor uses it, are the two things different?

Interestingly the HEF is measurable with 'scientific' instruments! 

The article title of "Are you Psychic" I have changed to "Measurable Psychism - Are You?" because I have added this afore mentioned scientific information. 

The energies that suround and penetrate the patient are registered through the Chakras - the healer may use these to watch and/or assist the spirit healers at work.

Thought Field Therapy [TFT] is using our human energy field to banish the unwanted blockages through 'tapping' the acupuncture points. 

Chakras and auras are a natural part of the human energy system, they are direct links to our ductless glands, and our acess to the UEF .... what's all that about ?

Read on ...

We are fuller and better people when we recognise and acknowledge God's hand; we vibrate with joy and gratitude - for God, for the Universe, and for all its creatures with whom we are interconnected in a great field of spiritual energy laden with meaning, order and love.

- From 'Small Miricles for the Jewish heart'.

WHO ARE THE GREAT MASTERS?

They are modest spirit people both from here in our time and long past, residing now in the spirit world.

White Eagle is an assumed name, Silver Birch another...They speak through mediums of great talent who were chosen to be of service especially for the task of recording the communications from the 'other side'.

They tell us that they have no fear for the world, for they see with other eyes that all will be well in the sight of The Great White Spirit - God.

Other modern authorities include Maurice Barbanell, the famous Healing Medium Harry Edwards, the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Stainton Moses. - Charles H Foster see this site for more names www.survivalafterdeath.org

  Prayer for the student:

“Dear friends of love and light in the spirit world, please assist me in all ways to serve you in seeking the truth for the good of all. Amen.”

Note:  I have moved some lessons from the teaching section to here, and the subject of Circles has gone to the teaching section - as requested. First copy the Questions and then you will understand the lessons and use them as you go along ...OK? The evaluation form is to be filled out before the Certificate of Attendance is given - or you might not get the much needed 'feedback' for your next classes ... see?

Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness

Here we are asking for stories to be sent in from you .. Why not have a go at writing to me with anything of interest?

There are so many now I just leave them for you to read the titles in total.

"The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." ~~ Robert Louis Stevenson. 

Welcome to the Miscellaneous Section - it's an assortment of odds and ends!

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. ~ Ovid

  No matter what activity or practice we are pursuing, there isn't anything that isn't made easier through constant familiarity and training. Through training, we can change; we can transform ourselves.- The Dalai Lama.

God raises the level of the impossible - Corrie Ten Boom

 This section is made up of various poems, some of which were written by myself, some by my husband Don many years ago. Yet more came from friends who have sent them to me when they have been moved.

I have added the opening and closing prayers for you that are non-denominational, because a church member commented the other day that it was nice to hear prayers that addressed God in different ways. It’s not that we think God needs His attention drawing to the fact that one is speaking – its just respect, as one would be talking to a friend.

'The Angel' is a poem about how physical life and death are such a short distance apart.

"A Conversation" is from the friends Jim and Lis in Australia.

Audrey Hepburn's Poem is very moving. Happy or thoughtful - they make you think!

  There are so many now that I leave it up to you to find the ones that will make the difference...

SURPRISE!

When you get to heaven
You will likely view
Many folks whose presence there
Will be a shock to you,

But then keep very quiet.
Do not even stare.
Doubtless there'll be many folks
Surprised to see YOU there.

The best universities of the 21st century will bring together brainpower where it is, not where it can be institutionalised. The aim must be to create a republic of the intellect open to all, whose natural constituency will be those who keep themselves intellectually aware throughout their lives.

If you have come to this page you might be in some capacity a teacher already, or starting out as a willing learner. Teaching is a special gift - and the teacher is blessed from Spirit.

We all are teachers in our own way, if only to ourselves on the path of progression. Without trying, we teach others what to expect of us - and hope not to let them down.

The key to successful teaching is to overcome the ego and ask for guidance from the Spirit Guides and Helpers. They too are on their path of learning back to our Maker.

In love they serve us and we them.

The CLASSES IN 6 PAGES for boosting the communications between the two worlds are now on the 'Lessons' page.

I have tried to get the printing straight, but some of the format is not always going correctly...ah me!

Every student says: "Stella, how on earth can I progress faster?" The answer my friend is simply this: "Talk to them, they are waiting!"

I have put 'A List of Seminars' on here to give ideas for teaching in your local church, if you live in Norfolk I am now going out teaching again so get in touch through the email on the Main Menu.

Kindest regards to you,

Coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. - Doris Lessing.

The subject is very open to the hoaxer, as you can imagine, but many scientists have gone to great lengths to prevent this aspect - and been amazed!

There are good evidential photographs hanging in the Morley Church near Leeds at Zoar Street.
