Anarchistbanjo's World

After posting in my Medium blog I began wondering about contacting other wiccans, pagans and druids. So I began some internet searches for both blogs and social platforms. What I found was quite disconcerting and troubling. They are an endangered species! It seems that wiccans, pagans and druids have gone the way of the cowboy!

The last ten years or so have seen me focused on the New Age community and Gaia’s ascension including channeled messages from our space brothers and sisters. So I lost touch with what is going on at the other end of the spectrum. Now that my focus has shifted to the etheric and earth energies I am dismayed at how small and underground our movement has become.

More to the point there is a lack of teachers that know anything! Most of what is out there is whimsical and not grounded in real practice or experience. It is wishful thinking and make believe!

Consider the type of person who thinks that playing an elf or warrior in the Elder Scrolls Online is celebrating his or her magickal nature and being adventurous! When is the last time that you have touched a living being that is not human? Maybe it was a plant or a pet. How many people don’t even have those. . .

How can we live in a world without other living things? How can we live in a world without magick? Without joy?

In some of my recent posts I’ve spoken of how modern science is supportive of the multi-dimensional soul and its evolution. But I avoided a direct attack against the materialist viewpoint which denies any spirituality and insists our universe consists of only three dimensions and that time is linear.

This same materialist viewpoint takes pride in attacking creationists who insist that the world was created in seven days. I’m currently reading “The Greatest Show On Earth” by Richard Dawkins in which he almost gloats as he points out the absurdity of the creationist thinking and not once considers how equally absurd such restrictive atheistic and materialistic pablum is. Life and our universe is multi-dimensional and the materialistic point of view is equally as short sighted.

I’m also reading “Soul Machine” by George Makari which talks about this historical battle over the mind and the soul. It seems that those who believe that logic and reason are supreme have conveniently forgotten how powerful altered states, hypnosis and the power of suggestion really are! We are bombarded daily with ads that seek to subliminally encourage us to think and act in certain ways, even if they have no connection with reality. Yet even as we are brainwashed we are told what to believe and not to believe!

I spoke with a person who had completed NLP (Neuro Linguistics Programing) instructor training. He told how during the graduation ceremony the entire class had walked through a glowing bed of coals. Only one person, toward the back, had panicked and burned his feet so badly that he had to be taken to the emergency room. He himself had felt as if he were walking through a bed of soft moss. None of the others had been injured either. I asked him if he thought he could do it again or if he thought it was the power of the group that kept them all safe. He thought it was the power of the group.

When I was taking Tai Kwon Do lessons my teacher had a picture on the wall of him breaking eight cement blocks at one time. He was eighth dan black belt. The photo was not a fake. There are many things in our world that we do not yet understand!

It occurs to me that I am in a position to take on this absurdly restrictive materialism and show it for what it really is. I am also uniquely situated to prove the weakness and vulnerability of logic and reason and how it only leads to paradox. But such a task in not easily taken and requires much research, study and insight. I’m up for it, but its not something that can be done over night!
