The Elfpath Blog

The idea of Elfpath being a cult

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sun, 22 May 2011 15:47:00 +0000

Dear Anonymous Bystander,

In reply to your own blog entry (http://an0nym0usbystander.blogspot.com/2011/03/elfpath-observation-cult.html) that you were so kind to send my way.

Your profile stated you see yourself as a broad-minded person who likes to look at every angle. I can only say that most of your story is one-sided, and on top of that, extremely outdated, having stories from over two years ago, even told from the view of likely Brint himself, and taken out of context, with the intent on making Elfpath look as dark and gloomy as possible before even starting your investigation. Even though I agree on some points made towards the way Elfpath has been lead in the past. However, that is and stays past, and things have changed.

If you want to contact me or anyone else to tell them Elfpath is a cult, please make up your own, objective opinion from the present, not from vague tales of two years ago that no-one cares about and that have been coloured by everyone involved. For as far as I care, you could've even asked people who are actually still taking courses, to gather an accurate image of how things really roll these days. Or better yet, ask someone who's not involved to make up their own mind on it. In any case, don't ever limit yourself to only one side of the medal. I doubt you have contacted anyone who's been in Elfpath for a prolonged period, or even younger students.

Point being, I for one do know this and that, and there are others who know more than I do. I have no doubt that they as well would tell you in honesty how exactly they experience Elfpath.

That all being said, I have to agree on some points made by The Anonymous Bystander. Personally, I'm not really buying the mambo-jambo of superpowers, not these days at least. I don't expect myself to fly, shoot lasers, that kind of things. I don't think anyone expects me to believe that. However, the only gifts I've seen openly discussed are things such as intuitive empathy, advanced senses, things like that. These I do consider possible. Though the mention of 'superpowers' goes way beyond this and takes the idea out of context.

I also agree on the point made about dramas. They are, by some, seen as only obstructive. Which I don't see as true. They can be used in a healthy way, and I've seen them used by lots of students and teachers as such. It all depends on the motivation and reason of the user, however. Most of the time, they do get used to gain attention, consciously so or not. With practice they can be used as a means to actually get somewhere, and they can be useful. In that case, cool, nice job. Nobody has ever said to just stop using them, you're only encouraged to use them in a healthy way.

Aside that, control dramas, law of attraction and many other things are not even originally Angel's ideas, but drawn from experience of old Wisdom Masters, and time spent with Shamans. You mention that in the beginning, but seem to be blissfully ignorant to that in a lot of details.

There are a lot more points I'd wish to make, and I'd love to offer my own view on every singly point you had tried to make. However, I see no use in giving this any more attention than necessary. You have said that people would openly accept the criticism. I would, if this were made in a sincere manner. This was not constructive critisism, and not meant to make us change 'for the better'. On top of that, Elfpath is already far different from how you depict it to be, based on how it could've been 2 years ago. This was merely a bunch of theory based on stories of two or three people who, due to circumstances, had rough encounters and have still not managed to get over themselves. Next to that, if you had really aimed to make people look inside themselves and be honest, you could've made it public on our own forum, instead of just putting it up on the few blogs you own without any form of distribution, only linking it in my own blog, as to intentively challenge me to respond and argue.

In that case I only see this as an attempt to Interrogate and Intimidate anyone involved and force us into feeling ashamed. On top of that, copying something I said about Angel with the best of intentions, and just copying it to your blog in such a context that it looks as if I'm crazed and a fool, I will not stand by that nor take it lightly. It's disrespectful and manipulative. Just the kind of thing you were so intent on wanting to point out about Elfpath.

There will always be haters, I understand as much and do my best not to cherish any hatred towards them. I merely want people to make up their own mind instead of being influenced by people who shit their pants at the thought of all this, or people who are all joy and glee. Neither are realistic views, and therefore can be considered as useless for the average person.

Everything gets told the way it is, both on the site, and on posts made by the students and teachers alike. Everyone is allowed to, and even encouraged to read the personal travels and stories of the student in their online Journals on the forum. You will notice that it is not at all misrepresentation. Especially the higher belts have a balance between happy journals about success, and journals that talk about how difficult it all is, and that they are in pain or doubt about their lives. It's all part of this process, and trying to hide this doesn't help anyone at all.

Of course, you can only read this when you're a member of the forum, but that doesn't mean you have to agree to following courses or something. We have around 250 (?) forum members, and only 60 active students.

The Christmas Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 16:06:00 +0000

As most of you know, we are organising a Christmas Workshop this year in the Netherlands. Christmas is often a very difficult time for intuitives, because people all over the world are feeling miserable. Either they are with family around Christmas, and then they have all the tension and difficulty that comes with being cooped up with a bunch of people who push your buttons or whom you really don't like, or they are alone with Christmas, and then they feel depressed and like a failure and often suicidal. There is lots of stress, sadness, arguing, self loathing, frustration... Intuitives tend to pick up on the emotions of the people around them, and are more vulnerable to this chaos.

To make Christmas this year easy and fun, we'll be celebrating it together, and following it up with a 3-day advanced workshop and a big end-of-year dinner. We have several of our international people flying in especially for this. There will be practical training, lots of fun, getting to know your meta-family and classmates face-to-face, and quality time with both Rohaa and, very specially, Angel. This is a unique opportunity, since Angel tends to move around a lot, and this may be your only chance to meet him and talk to him in person.

The event is free in principal, because we understand that plane tickets are a trouble already, but I would like to encourage everyone to donate where possible. It is a huge time and energy investment for Rohaa and Angel, it's absolutely exhausting, and anywhere else, an intensive workshop like this would costs thousands of dollars.

So students will be learning a lot, no doubt. But there's also plenty to do here for those who aren't students yet, but who are curious nonetheless:

DINNER: December 29

Open to anyone who is interested. We'll likely find an affordable place in town, and close off our Christmas Workshop with all students who attended it. This dinner is open to our local White Belts as well, regardless of if they have started Intro Course yet. Family, friends, neighbours and other interested people are very welcome, this will be a great chance to meet almost our entire teacher team, to see for yourself the things everyone has learned, to ask questions about our program or get some personalised help.

If there is interest, we'll provide quick readings for E5 for anyone an Elfpath student brings along. Costs for dinner are obviously your own. We could use someone local to help organise this dinner, spread the word to all our Dutch students, and generate local interest. You can volunteer and/or brainstorm in this thread.

Please sign up in this thread if you want to come to the dinner, and how many people you are bringing.

AFTERMATH

Anyone who wants to stay after the dinner is welcome to do so. You can use this time to simply enjoy the company of your friends a little longer, to re-fine the skills you learned in the workshop, to finish up on projects you've been working on, or to see something of the country. Rohaa will personally have time until New Years and perhaps a day or two into 2011.

After that, those who want might team up and go see something of the country or of Europe at large, since you're here anyway. If you are organising it with several people together, you will likely be able to cut costs quite a bit. Find a local student with a car (or rent one. The car, not the student) and some time, and you're already halfway on route to travelling cheap. Let us know how much after New Years you want to stay, and if you want to spend the time to explore. If people are interested, we could again use a volunteer to organise.

****

If you've been wondering what all this is about, how it works, who we are... even if we're human, this is your chance to figure it out. I'll be there too, from the 25th until the 2nd of January. We're planning on having a blast, so why not both learn and have some good ol holiday fun at the same time?

This list possibly needs to be updated since there will be more than currently listed, but for the dinner alone we've got (per nickname):

* Rohaa
* Angel
* Epic
* Enelya
* Kaiki
* Mari
* Mel
* TriskelLady
* Yvonne (?)
* Jos (?)
* Josefien, Cas, Jenica, Luna and Luufie want to, if their work schedule works along (Josefien) or flight tickets can be provided (for all non-Josefien)

If you're coming, post it here.

Have a lovely time!

Orange, oh yeah!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 12:17:00 +0000

Isn't it pretty?! And it's all mine from now on! Oh yeah, I'm awesome.

Not to say I'm done with working. I had some mental celebration, but it's not a time to sit still!

Oh, also.

People, meet Lollipop. Lollipop looks cute and has a cute name for a reason. Whenever I get angry about myself for something I just didn't do well enough, or for something I completely fucked up... if anything makes me want to call myself names, I imagine that 'flawed' part, the inexperienced child part in me, to look just like that kitten. Because it's young and cute and in need of hugs as much as that kitty is. This little trick is supposed to change my mindset from "OMG you failed again! this and that and the other thing too! You could've done better!" to something like "Aww, how cute, Lollipop is experiencing something new and weird." and "Oh you found your way into the litterbox! YAY even though you don't seem to know what its for yet."
So instead of bashing on every little thing that goes wrong, you get to look at that cute thing and realise that it needs motivation instead. And then you give it, because it really did improve and deserves a treat.

And just look at how cute Lollipop is. It just HAS to work, how can you be angry at such a doll!

Wish me luck!

Rohaa's doing belt tests tomorrow for an amount of people. I'm in the running for Orange belt, and if all goes really well I might get me a Green belt test.

I'm nervous as heck, but boy.. I guess I really want this.

2000 hits! Have some videos!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:02:00 +0000

So yes, people actually read this. I feel proud.

Anyway, I am sorry to let you know that my camera died yesterday while taking pictures of my new haircut, so I wasn't able to make that my 2000-hit entry. But instead, Rohaa just uploaded a brilliant set of videos about...

1) A true gem in meta-intuitions: Communication with animals.

Now, practice has proven by now that I am not at all able to listen to an animal, and the others I am with at the time end up telling me I am being named as 'A dense one', 'Slow', and on multiple occasions some very interesting variations of 'Dimwit'. Hmm, now where did that proud feeling go....

Though don't feel intimidated, I'm convinced I just don't *want* to listen, because the others have had very interesting results - and in fact end up hearing/interpreting the exact same thing as the others do at pretty much every occasion. And this vid can at least give you an idea of how/why/when/what/where/whatever.

Rohaa: "It is not difficult to communicate with your pets... and not just talking to them, but to hear what they're saying, and have them talk back to you. Your relationship with your pet (cat, dog, horse, bunny, anything goes) will get much richer, and you'll be able to make your pet much happier - and find them when they run away!"

2) Everyone has superpowers, or meta-intuitive gifts.

Rohaa: "Think of things like telepathy, telekinesis, healing, telling the future, making things happen by thinking of them... these are not rare, impossible things. We just think they are, because the world around us has been telling us for so long that we stopped remembering that we are something more. And this isnt a case of some-time-in-the-future-when-we've-evolved. It's now."

I don't think I can add much more to this summarise. That's basically what you get.

And last: 3) Your world is limited

Maybe harsh, but true. I have to admit this includes me too, because some things simply feel over my head, you know? I guess I'm just human, eh (though, then again...).

Rohaa: "If you believe that only the physical is real, and that scientific proof is necessary before you consider otherwise, your world is limited. Physicists have known for a long time now that the universe consists only for 10% out of matter, physical things, and for 90% of some other undefined substance that we can't measure. It is not so strange, given this, that there are many, many things you don't - and can't, if you stick to conventional methods - know about your every day world. If you refuse to look beyond what you already know, you are intentionally handicapping yourself and making your life and that of the people around you more difficult, less fun, and less true."

Note: Elfpath has a Youtube channel, of course. Look for ElfpathSays if your interested. Either way, Enjoy!

Also, this reminds me I need to get back on writing those meet-up topics. Especially the zoo trip, since it's filled with awesome.

I feel fashionistic.

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 00:04:00 +0000

I got myself a sexy dyed haircut. Very new, not quite used to it... But it's sexy. Thing is, this was a "Change challenge" I got ages ago. Change challenges are things that higher-levelled students give to each-other in order to challenge yourself and change a little into a more 'you' kind of person.

So far I had the challenges of having a serious talk to someone every day (went really well), standing out more (as in, buy a rainbow-coloured sweater) and now also getting a flashy hairdo. Welllll... actually it was the first challenge I got, but I never got around doing it until now.

Either way, I'll get you guys some eyecandy to ogle this Sunday eve :)

Edit: The day after. I still love the hairdo. Which is, of course, a big plus compared to the "OMG what have I done?!" that you might get when people get you to do something like paint your hair or get a tattoo of your football team on your butt.

It's just really tricky to get it to shape the same way like the hairdresser did. As always. But I'll get the hang of it. Hopefully by Sunday, or that smexy picture may not be as smexy as I thought it would be.

A Secret

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 20:26:00 +0000

I bet a title like that will at least make some people I know read this thing. It should, since it's more directed to those I know in real life.

So. What ever can this be about then? (I guess that's actually rather a silly question since this is, after all, the Elfpath blog)
For all of those I know in real life, and that have read this blog before... Yes, it may be hard to believe, but it is me who writes and experiences all this stuff. All the 'magic', all the changes, and even the moving out to the Netherlands.
This is me. Wim Savels, born in Belgium, currently taking classes in 6GWW at Brugge. I hope you will respect what I do, and understand why I have been keeping some things secret from you guys. It has not always been easy for me, since somewhere I have always thought that those around me would not accept all this. Somewhere I still do. But here goes...

I think it's about time the news got out there. They better figure it out soon enough because I have seen them do their daily stuff, and they can use these classes a lot too.
(Bsides, you know me. I'm a swell guy. What could possibly be wrong about Elfpath then if I'm part of it!)

Picture proof:

Hi.

Elfpath in Motion.

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 00:43:00 +0000

Today we discussed some things on Skype.
About this thing.

Elfpath planning on gathering roughly 700,000 euros (wow, yes, that much!), or close to a million US dollars. Then we'll be able to buy that jewel of a building and house 10 or so students, with 2 teachers and we'll have our very first Elfpath Mansion! Albeit a prototype, it would be such a huge step forward. We could teach students in person now, if they'd be willing to rent the place for a while, or simply move in free of all costs if the business is okay.
Once people are high-levelled and have the means they could move out on their own and just make room for new, lower-belt students. It's a perfect fit.

And just look at the house. It's a beauty. I'd move in there in an instant should we pull this off.

So far some of us have cash on the side they are willing to use, or even have contacts with people in real-estate business, so we're getting started.

But Elfpath will need a hand in getting there. If we can haul in 1 or 2 somewhat wealthy and interested people, we're there! We could work things out, like shared ownership, or them buying the house and owning it until we pay them off... Whatever works, we're easy to work with. There are also people who buy property and sub-rent it. Whatever works, again. Direct donations are very welcome too! Heh.

And we're planning on having raised this amount by Christmas. Yes, really. Intuitive scans all told us this was perfectly doable! So let's aim high shall we. But we'll need your help.
If you've read my entry about Little Cruelties (link), among others, I think you can see how this can really start making us big enough to make those very important little changes happen.

If you feel you want to support us, if you empathise with our cause... Theres a few things you can do

Chip in on your own. Little or big, it doesn't matter. All bits help.
Find people who are interested in shared ownership.
Or who want to buy the house until we can pay it back.
Connect us to people who buy property and sub-rent it.
Simply spread the word about Elfpath! This too helps a lot, and it's easy!

An alternative would be this:
Right here.
It's a lot smaller, but only 320K USD, too. But let's aim for the moon, right?

So, I've a 'Contact' tab, and the Donate button is somewhere on the right side of the screen. Let's get this thing rolling!

Extra, Extra!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:37:00 +0000

Here's just a little video because I like the message. And I also like how it meshes with my Nanowrimo challenge. For those who are curious for my progress so far, read this.

Little Cruelties

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:58:00 +0000

The vision I explained here about what Elfpath does and why is in need of an update. Elfpath isn't a flaky group of people teaching energies and intuition for the sake of being spiritual and cool. We're people who are fed. up. with living in a messed up world. We want to improve ourselves, communication, connection, lives.

When you watch this video, what do you see?

Some might not even notice everything going on, but this stands for what is fundamentally wrong with our world. That right there is what I'm at Elfpath for. What everyone is there for.

This woman is being incredibly cruel to him. He obviously loves that tie! You can tell that it's quit eimportant to him, and he feels like he's dressing up right, the way he likes it.

So he's busy wanting to look good for her party, and is probably thinking of something close to his heart. And then she just waltzes in and shreds him to pieces, emotionally so. Effectively ripping out a piece of him.

What's the worst part? She doesn't even notice. So casual, thoughtless, without care.

It's little cruelties like these that really tear people apart. Bit by bit. All the big and shiny techniques I've learned so far... I can clear ghosts and the like, and can really look at the world with eyes somewhat open. Which is really awesome. But these little things are why we have Elfpath... These are the really important things.

Later in that episode (criminal minds, S4E11), he gets cut off in traffic. He alerts the girl about it, and he gets horribly bitched at. Stomped and torn to pieces. Eventually, after so many years of little cruelties, he snaps. Something just shifts and he ends up shooting a few people.

Cops on the radio ended up talking to him with compassionate words, and got him to talk to someone about this, about what happened. So he does.

He goes to his wife and tells her. "Those murders on the news? Those are mine."

... And she mocks him. "What? You? You wouldn't have the guts to do it. Too stupid and a coward, that's what you are. Hey you know what, I'm a serial killer too! Hahahah!" and so on.

A few hours later, he kills the family in their sleep and then commits suicide.

When it leaks out, society people are the ones to say that "People who do that are monsters!"

... No. People who do this are first torn apart by the people who should love them and care for them the most. At some point, it just hurts so much that they snap, and then these things happen.

The people who commit these cruelties, so carelessly and ruthlessly... They are the real monsters.

And nobody ever noticed something was wrong, they didn't pay attention until it was too late.

It's the same with kids that shoot their teachers and classmates.

The world is screwed up. But this is exactly why Elfpath exists. Not so we can look at all the cute little ants 'down there', although that's a perk sometimes. Elfpath is teaching right now because I, and everyone else, needs to be aware. Everyone needs to be aware of what they're doing to people. How they affect them, what they're feeling. What the need.

Elfpath is teaching people how to avoid situations like in the clip. If either one of them would have had any training, this wouldn't have happened. She would have sensed that he's depressed. That his emotions are a mess. "Come here. Have a chat."

Or he would've recognised that her boss is coming up, she's panicking and being a bitch for it. "I don't have to take this personal."

Elfpath isn't a flaky group of people teaching energies and intuition for the sake of being spiritual and cool. We're people who are fed. up. with living in a messed up world. We want to improve ourselves, communication, connection, lives.

[31-10-2010 23:01:09] Kaiki: ...And how many of these guys are we responsible for creating? How many people did we kill because we didn't reach them in time?
[31-10-2010 23:01:43] Rohaa: kaiki, good question
[31-10-2010 23:01:59] Rohaa: maybe more important question, tho, "how many more people are we willing to let suffer?"

This strongly ties in with learning how to use the meta in real life. Not just when you've free time, and after doing everyday stuff. You'd have to do it during that stuff.

Rohaa: imagine this guy is a collegue at your work. describe how this situation may have gone, without and with using the meta in your daily life

Melanie: without: pft loser guy, pay no attention. same outcome
with: guy in need of help, sit with him at lunch maybe and talk

GCB, Control Dramas, empathy, gutmuck (different pov, but still), truthscanning, scanning come to mind. GCB to make sure your judgement isnt clouded, sidestep the Control Dramas you recognise, identify his anger, see where it comes from, truthscan if that's the case, scan if it's appropriate to talk to him.

Without any awareness, everyone, me included, for sure, would have been so self-absorbed and be in a 'must work, can't look around me' mentality. Nobody would've noticed just how much this colleague was hurting inside. And even with the meta, the signs may have been so small. But you could have read his response when someone was being cruel and said "Look dude, back off. You're being mean." None of the people in the episode cared enough to say "Yeah, but what about HIM? How is HE feeling?"

They don't know to look, so how could they see anything.

There are lots of simple solutions to solve this problem globally. Everyone turning empathic would solve everything overnight. If everyone could speak with only truth/integrity, we'd be done. Or if everyone'd be mind readers.

[31-10-2010 23:17:40] Rohaa: Angel knows at any moment exactly what i'm feeling, on more levels than i even have the ability to be aware. he knows what i'm thinking before i do. he knows why i do things, what i want, what i dont want, how i respond to everything he says
[31-10-2010 23:17:54] Rohaa: imagine living with someone like that. does that freak anyone out?
[31-10-2010 23:18:53] Rohaa: if that's scary to you, then you have some work to do on integrity
[31-10-2010 23:19:02] Kaiki: Angel can see right through to every part of us, and he's capable of loving everyone.
[31-10-2010 23:22:45] Rohaa: imagine if ALL the world worked like this
[31-10-2010 23:23:05] Rohaa: if no one had any secrets, if all the neighbours could look right into your house and see how you treated your family, how you felt, etc
[31-10-2010 23:23:50] Rohaa: no one would be sneaking into their kid's room at night anymore, or beating them or screaming at them because they had a bad day
[31-10-2010 23:24:06] Rohaa: because others could see it. these horrors happen only because it can be done in secret, bc no one knows

We have the brain capacity now due to the wonder of evolution. Now we just need to grow a big enough heart to match that brain. But that doesn't happen by accident. It doesn't happen when the mind still thinks that the meta either

doesn't exist
or is a separate world you can just hop in and out of whenever the real world can allow that.

Both worlds need to happen at the same time. You could consider the meta as breathing. You do it all the time. You still breathe while doing all those other things, and it really improves your life (as in, give you one). Stop breathing, you die physically. Stop meta, and you die emotionally, spiritually, and energetically too.

For those who aren't involved in the meta yet, consider the above rambling as a request for you to consider it. What if? How many people have you bitched at today? How many people have bitched at you today? How much more can either sides take?

For those who are involved already, cool. Then ask yourself the same questions.

Get this through your mind: These worlds aren't separate. You need both to work to make a difference. You could do all those real-life things you normally do, except then you can do them better and have some fun while at it. Compare normal vacuum cleaning with vacuuming while getting rid of all dense energy, ghosts, heaps of energetic mess lying all over.

Elfpath members have been working on something. Rohaa has been setting this up for a few days, and now people are starting to add content to it.

Meta In Real Life (MIRL)

Just go over the list of every day situations, pick one situation you will run into that day, and experiment doing the meta-things listed on that page WHILE doing it. Won't cost you an extra minute.

This isn't just something potentially huge, it's something that is simply necessary. Give it a shot, and see how much it can improve your life.

Good luck!

In other news, as the banner shows, I joined NaNoWriMo. No idea if I'll make it through, but it's definitely going to be one heck of a ride. Anyone else here joined?

Jack's Legend: Dead Walk The Earth?

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 16:29:00 +0000

Temporary Lay-out just for this time of year fellas :)

There are several legends going around about this very time of the year: All Hallow's Eve. The following legend is one of many (if not all) that include the roaming of spirits on Earth. With so many tales going around, spread from all around the globe and with origins of vastly different cultures... Could it be that there is a foundation of truth underneath all this? I'll do my best to give you an answer. But first, the legend.

This ancient legend is considered by most to be the original story of Halloween. Whether it is true or just classic Irish folklore, is unknown...

An Irish man, who went by the name of Jack, was known as a... feisty character. Everyone knew of him as a drunk, a fraud, and a man with a horribly inflammable nature. At the very night of Halloween, Jack spent the night at a pub once again, this time having the Devil for company. Unsurprisingly, Jack was as drunk as a chicken.

His health was dwindling, and Jack was close to falling into the hands of the Devil. But desperately wanting to stay alive, Jack asked the Devil for a final request: One last drink. The Devil accepted his last will, only if Jack would pay for it himself. Out of common respect, Jack thanked him by giving him a drink as well.

Then it was time to pay the bill. But of course, Jack didn't have any money. For this, he asked if the Devil wouldn't mind to change into a coin to pay for the drink. Afterwards he could just change back and Jack would happily give him his soul. Again, the Devil agreed (he's very gullible, isn't he?).

You can bet he didn't count on Jack's response to this. As soon as the Devil changed into the coin, Jack took it and put it in his wallet. As a matter of fact, this wouldn't be a problem since the Devil could just transform. However, the wallet held a silver cross. This kept the Devil from using his powers, and so was doomed to spend the rest of his days as a coin. Of course the Devil did not approve of this, and demanded that Jack would release him from his lowly prison.

Now Jack was on the higher grounds. Though he still accepted the request, on one condition. The Devil was not allowed to 'pay him a visit' for one whole year. He did not have much of a choice here, and agreed.

Jack found himself in charge of a second chance at life, and took it by heart. Over the course of the time he had, he turned into a loving husband and father again. He found his way back to church and even fiddled with charity. Though it did not last very long. Soon enough, the everlasting lure of the golden liquid dragged him back into the nightlife.

The next year, again on All Hallows Eve, Jack took a stroll down the street, possibly towards the local pub. He was confronted with the Devil one more time. Jack failed to grab hold of his second chance, and thus was left no choice but to join the Devil. However, still as cunning as he was back when (and this time sober!), Jack decided to trick the Devil one more time. Jack requested an apple from the tree a little further down the street. The Devil hadn't changed either, and thus was still as gullible as always, and went to find the tree.

He climbed up to grab an apple, and Jack took his chance. He took out his knife, and carved a cross on the bark. Once again, the Devil found himself trapped. He promised that, should he be set free, Jack would not be visited for the next 10 years. However, Jack went to the extreme, and wanted to be left alone for ever, and the Devil was not allowed to claim his soul for all eternity. Seeing no other solution, the Devil agreed, and went his own way.

Sadly enough, life took it's toll on Jack, who passed away roughly a year later, again on Hallow's Eve. Jack could not go to Hell because of his promise, but when he knocked on Heaven's doors, he was declined all access. His life filled with darkness could not get him to join the Light. But where else could he go?

"Back where you came from," was the answer.

However, the path home was dark, cold and windy, so Jack asked if he could at least be granted a flame to be kept warm and safe. The Devil, being an all-round swell guy, threw him a glowing-hot coal, straight from hell. Jack just so happened to be eating a turnip at the time, and since the coal was too hot to carry, he was forced to use the turnip as a way to keep it close.

However, this did not end Jack's suffering. He was forced to remain on Earth until Judgement Day. Luckily he had his glowing coal, which gave him not only light, but also warmth during the chill of the night, bringing forth the birth of Jack O'Lantern.

People familiar with this Legend have the belief that, if you look closely, you could see the light of Jack's lantern when he visited a house to rest at. The lantern also became the symbol for those who were lost in the swamps, every time when people saw ghostly lights wandering about, and the symbol of the lost souls.

So far for the legend. It's one of so many that talk about spirits roaming the Earth. Is there any truth to it? Believe whatever you want, I'll not force you to believe, but for those who are curious...

I, and pretty much any spiritual/aware being have had tons of experience with ghosts on at least a weekly base. So. Yes, there is. And not just on Halloween either. Spirits get stuck in this plane all year round.

Per definition, ghosts are not beings who are out to eat you, possess you, or guide you. They're beings who got stuck on this plane, while hey should be moving on to the next step. Not having gotten there, they're confused about where they are, they're sad for not knowing where their home is, and often quite frustrated. They are attracted to people with strong energy because it's light and warm and they want to feel safe. In effect, they behave much like a lost child.
Do not fear them and run, but don't keep them near either. This is not their place, and they will want more of your energy, making you tired and exhausted.

Also, here. Have a story of my own...

Not too long ago, a group of three Elfpath members, including me, had a very interesting experience with one ghost in particular. One of them said they felt something weird was around them, but couldn't specify what (self-scanning is always so much more difficult). So me and someone else went out to find out what, and both agreed on it that she had a ghost stuck to her. After she knew what to look for, she fund the ghost as well. A middle-aged man, judging on the clothing he'd been dead for quite a while.

Now, we've all had our share of experiences with them, but this case was odd. He was far more visible, clearly there to all of us. And he was trying to talk. All of us tried, but couldn't really make much out of it. One of the others mentioned she saw red markings on the throat of the man. I looked into it, and felt like I had to cough, and my throat went completely dry. Judging the marking, and the sensation, he had to have suffocated in a fire.

The other asked the ghost if that was true, and if that's the reason why he couldn't speak. He nodded yes on both. Seeing that he had a message for us, I asked the woman with the ghost if she could tap into his memories and see what happened, maybe it connected to what he wants us to know. It probably did, when I reflect, knowing what the message was now, though the ghost gave us a strict look that was all 'There are more important things'. So we didn't. It's his message, he'll know.

We asked ourselves who the message was for. We all happened to be involved in this, so it could be for either one of us. It scanned that it was for the two others, but not for me. Though I was welcome to help figure it out. It took us a while to find, especially since we couldn't rely much on sound because he couldn't speak. But in the end, he had a strong, clear message for the two others. The same one, really.

In the end, the one with the ghost asked to just show her what was so important. The ghost came closer to her, and pressed his hands to her heart. He gave a soft smile, watery eyes, and told her to trust what she's doing now. She's good at it. Thing is, she's been working on opening her heart chakra right now, nd it's really powerful in her case. And also scary for a multitude of reasons. The moment he did that, a strong sensation of trust, calmth came over me, yet I wanted to cry. This meant a lot for the girl.

"Just do it. Trust it, embrace it."

She relayed what the ghost did, and agreed with the sensations I had. The other girl felt that the message was strong for her too. I took my own share of lessons out of it, unrelated to what he told the two others, but important nonetheless.

Now you have to know that this is pretty much the first time we had a case like this. Usually ghosts are just sad, confused and need to be sent on to go where they need to be, and prepare for their next phase of life. But this one was not nearly as sad, definitely not confused. And had a message. Which is definitely a first.

But anyway, we found, we accepted, and for that we thanked the ghost. The girl mentioned now that he seemed to have fallen into a slumber, lack of energy.

From then on the sad emotions started coming up. He wasn't at his place anymore, and finally felt like all other ghosts in the idea that he didn't belong anymore. He wasn't at home.

So we did then what we do with all ghosts we encounter: We send them on. We opened a portal to the next phase, the spirit realm, and sent him through.

Now again, this isn't what normally happens with ghosts, no matter how awesome it is. So if you are one of those who can see ghosts, take our experience into consideration. Try to get a feel for how they feel, find that sadness. Some of you might want to comfort the ghost and keep it close, but that's not how it works. If you can find the oh so common sadness and lost feelings in them, you'll realise they need to go on.

And if you can't yet see ghosts, or feel them, don't worry much, they aim for the more aware people anyway. And they're not intent on eating you for breakfast either, so you're cool.

Anyway, have a good ol' fun time masking tonight :) And of course, share some stories you had with ghosts, or anything else out of the ordinary. Get your spooky on xD

Peace all.

The Bubble

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:29:00 +0000

This is a fun little intuitive game for when you're in a group. Back in the Netherlands, we often had group chats and the like, and just shared things, talked, and effectively had real-life classes. At some point or another, the second day or so that I was there, I think, when having another of those group chats, we were al just talking and then everything just went quiet and they were staring at me.

Angel: Looks like you've the bubble.
Me: Hahn? Bubble?
*cue giggles*

Anyway. Explanations ensued. The bubble is a general term they gave to people who want/need to say something. Some actually see this like a lightbulb, others like a light sphere... I just end up staring at the person, like a magnetic pull. But either way, the gang decided that anyone who has the bubble HAS to say something.

And if not, they get barraged by lots and lots of pointy pokes until they do. That's where the amusing part is, because it's not uncommon for one of the gang to be squealing on the ground with 2 or so others on top. Let's just say it's quite hilarious to just either watch, or poke, or even to be poked. For some. xD

It took some getting used to, but by the third day, I had moments where people'd stare at me in silence and I'd just stare straight up and go 'Hmm, my turn again eh? Oh well.' and quickly dig into my mind because some were already getting up, preparing to slowly assault me like in a horrible, low-cost horror flick.

Anyway, this little game is a brilliant way to figure out where a discussion can go, what needs attention, and to a more personal degree, dig into your own feelings and thoughts and actually look inside for what you want to say but can't word yet. And you'll have to find the words quickly, or else you'll be poked to death.

So if you are ever in a group that doesn't mind to try something new, try it out. You can just imagine a bubble if you're not consciously aware yet. I did the same in the beginning and ended up staring at the same person as everyone else was. Even when people were fighting for it, making it hop back and forth like in a tennis match. It's not impossible, or even difficult. It's enough to know that it's there, and to just look for it.

So, recap time, in case of a teal deer moment. These are the only steps you need to take:

-Be in a group
-Know that there is a lightbulb above everyone's head
-Keep on chatting like nothing is going on
-Point it out whenever a lightbulb suddenly pings on
-Let the terror of a thousand pokes ensue until the target gives in.

That's about it. Keep paying attention, and don't forget to have some fun while at it. :)

Peace all.

Lay-out Update

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:59:00 +0000

Just a short one now. It doesn't always have to be a wall of text for you to hurt your eyes on.

So. New lay-out. Comment on it. xD In the end it's still me who has to like this blog above all, but of course the readers are definitely entitled to their own opinion.

Let's put it like this: The background stays. Though the text bar's lay-out and colour is up for discussion. Opinions?

It's weird, but thanks anyway

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:23:00 +0000

All human beings are, well, human. Not horrible monsters that aim to destroy things with their anger.

If people are angry for whatever reason, I tend to take it personal and I want to get back at them. This drive becomes especially strong if they happen to rage against something I hold dear. Especially if any and all accusations are false to begin with, only backed up by drama. Yesterday, again, this happened when someone started bashing Elfpath.

Said person was not happy with the idea that not everyone wants to pat him on the head and play small whenever he wants to play big and all-powerful. It's not an attitude that allows one to learn about the meta-, let alone understand it. If you pretend to already know everything better than your own teacher, how can you expect to learn anything? So when he was unwilling to change said attitude, Rohaa kicked him from the site and the course. And he hasn't gotten over it ever since.

So yesterday I noticed he reacted on my blog with hatemail and a link to his own blog, to provide 'proof' as to why Elfpath is a horrible monster that should be slain. The reason being that he wasn't patted on the head, but instead called on his problem. He included the chatlog from the discussion between him and Rohaa, and it shows. She didn't give in to his playing big, he refused to accept that, and started drama.
Another reason would be that as a cult leader, Rohaa gets filthy rich. Truth is, she'd love to see all that money she's said to have. Because, really, she makes about E3 an hour for all the work here vs payment. She's better off at McDonalds.

So seeing my issues with getting angry at any threat towards what I care for... This didn't get pretty. The reply I started with was alright I suppose, not much anger going on and pretty much still with my attention towards 'realise that what you say is drama and not true for everyone out there'. I simply explained Rohaa's position and motivation, and attempted to negate false ideas he had, such as our getting filthy rich. But afterwards things started ramping up and I messed up. Eventually I got pulled in with his drama and went emotionally slightly berserk. I hated his guts. And it showed in the way I treated him.

I forgot some crucial things. All communication is autobiography, so everything in his posts and comments were explaining emotional issues from his past. I don't know exactly which, but I could imagine (read imagine, not factually so) that he could have had issues in the past getting noticed and accepted, and playing big and powerful seemed t work to get him there. Over the course of time, this behaviour becomes an ingrained habit, and when someone suddenly doesn't play along and doesn't allow themselves to be small and bullied.. He gets ticked off. For that reason I shouldn't take anything personal, and understand that whoever gets angry, is just a person with his own problems and human nature.

He's only human with his own problems and past, and it's not the first time I forgot about that. Including the massive outburst of anger he has whenever EP pops up still, I started seeing him as nothing more but a rabid dog that needed to be put down.

I should've let him be, rage on, not comment on what he did. It's not helping to see angry people as the enemy. But it's often more helpful to see such a person as a 3 y-old to my 8 y-old, spiritually speaking (lets say that the more one develops awareness, the older the spiritual body becomes. this is unrelated to mental age, or physical age, to a degree).

In short...
If you can't respond as an adult, as someone with awareness and love, then shut up. Let the kids play their games.
He got angry and played public blame games. Sure, fine, let him. I still had the choice to respond or not, but I did. And the consequences are mine to bear, seeing I'm the one who should've acted as a mature person. So now I try to learn from the experience, and will try to keep the same thing from happening over and over.

It's weird to say this, but thanks. I needed the experience.

Questions 101

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:46:00 +0000

This article was inspired by part of the Teacher conversation on the 21st of October, 2010. It is intended for anyone and everyone who is taking Elfpath classes, or is interested in them, or is following some other spiritual path... really everybody alive could do with it.

Props go to Melanie for writing this.

The List

Make a list of everything in your life. Activities, stuff, people, beliefs, everything you feel is important. You can just go about your day and write down everything you worry about, everything you do. Make it as long as you need. Put them in any order. It may turn out looking something like

Kids' health
My marriage
Spiritual growth
Financial stability
Hockey practice
Bringing the band back together
Solving famine in Africa
World of Warcraft
Taking care of Mom
Winning the bake sale

Step one-A: Left-brain Analysis

Look at the items on this list individually.
Which ones are only there because you really want them, and which are there because it's something you just 'have to do' but don't really want to? Which ones can you define to be more specific? Do you really want to solve the hunger problem in Africa specifically, or do you want to feel good morally? Which ones can you define to be broader? Do you really care about the bake sale, or is it really more a sense of community that you're after? Which ones can you break up into several pieces? So you care about financial stability, but do you also care about your job? How about the status that comes with it? The co-workers?
By now your list may look like

Kids' health
Kids' future
Kids' happiness
Healthy relationship with husband
God
Elfpath classes, spiritual growth
Job
Social status
Financial security
Hockey practice
Bringing the band back together
Music
Moral peace
My friends in World of Warcraft
Time to relax and turn my brain off and just have fun
Mom's health
Relationship with mom
Feeling part of the community

Step one-B: Right-brain Adjustments

Now we've got quite a list. Awesome. Time for a more intuitive approach.
If you've taken a few classes, you know that what you think you want is often not in line with what you really want. People tell you what you should want, and they started when you were very young. Think of kids that really want to play the violin well (because mommy wanted it when she was little and is pressing it on the kid). The kid doesn't realise she doesn't really want it.
So GCB, read over the list again and imagine doing/having lots and lots of each item, then see what happens to your guts. SCAN it out, be as IP as you can.
Which items make your guts cramp up, or feel queasy? Mark them somehow, take them out completely if you feel it's right. Which items make you happy and energetic? Mark those as well (but with a different kind of mark). What emotions do you feel with each item? What physical sensations? Are the emotions/sensations you want?
By now your list may look like

+ Kids' health
Kids' future
+ Kids' happiness
Healthy relationship with husband
God
+ Elfpath classes, spiritual growth
- Job
- Social status
Financial security
- Hockey practice
+ Bringing the band back together
+ Music
Moral peace
My friends in World of Warcraft
Time to relax and turn my brain off and just have fun
+ Mom's health
- Relationship with mom
+ Feeling part of the community

Step two: Ranking and Pruning

Awesome, we've come quite a way. Now it's time to rank these items. It's perfectly okay for now to have a shared number one, or to have items that are "somewhere around here". You're looking for what you feel right now, not for what should be more important, not for what will pay off in the long run.
You may find that bringing the band back together is more important to you than hockey practice. You may find that your financial security is more important to you than God. You may find that your Elfpath classes are more important than your mother's health. You may find that your friends in WoW rank at the top of the list, above God and mom, your marriage and your kids' happiness.
Some of those options might scare you. There are no wrong answers. Nobody is judging you. The goal of this exercise is to make you ask yourself these questions and have you look inside for the answers, not to tell you "what you want is wrong".
Let's say your list turns out like this (for formatting purposes you've more or less managed to give every item a clear spot)

1: Healthy relationship with husband
2: Elfpath classes, spiritual growth
3: Feeling part of a community
4: Kids' health and happiness
5: Playing music to an audience (rephrasing of the band, and music options)
6: Mom's health
7: Kids' future
8: Financial security
9: Friends in World of Warcraft
10: Relationship with mom
11: God
12: Chilling out time
13: Moral peace
14: Social status
15: Hockey practice

Step three: Food for Thought

Of course this list only spawns more questions, as it should.
Why on earth are you still doing hockey practice?
Why isn't your band back together yet?
If mom told you to stop playing World of Warcraft and never talk to these people again, would you be willing to ditch number 10 in favour of number 9 (and if the answer to that is no, why aren't those two items the other way around?).
If your chilling out time is all the way down at 12, why are you doing so much of it and why are you ditching your financial security (#8) for it?
If something in Elfpath classes would cause your marriage to become unstable, which would you ditch?
Why did "job" disappear off the list entirely?
What would you give up in order to maximise #7?
What would you give up for #14? Why is God at #11? That isn't a very secure or important number. Do you still truly believe?

Questions

If you did this, you'll find that your list has just spawned more questions. Great, that was exactly the point. Questions are much more important than answers. Have you ever heard someone say "it about the journey, not the destination" or something along those lines?
In the end, just having a list and saying "there it is. I will do more of the top 10, less of the rest. Done!" is not very useful.
The process, looking at yourself, finding the bits of you that still cling to God even though he's all the down at #11 (below World of Warcraft) and seeing what they're about... figuring out why playing music to an audience ranks above your own mother's health and your kids' future... digging up the issue that's causing you to be too shy to be part of your community and getting rid of it... that's the kind of thing that helps you. The list is just there as a physical representation of data. Something to look at to focus your thoughts, so you don't forget which was #8 again.
It's the questions that help your awareness grow, not the answers.
Think about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, if you've read it or seen it. 42. Are the "big answers" really that important? Did the characters go through all that trouble and gain nothing along the way except a disappointing answer? Hardly.
Or think about watching a movie - which is better, that moment two thirds in where the crisis hits and everything is upside down and you have no idea what's what, or the credits?
Learning to ask the right questions is a big part of growing up meta-wise. It's a circle, you grow so you ask better questions so you grow.

What now?

You can keep your list by your side and whenever you're not sure what to do (#3 of #12?) pick the one that's highest on the list. The list isn't set in stone (unless you actually did carve it in stone), it's just a list. The things you want change, they always will. Whenever you see the list, ask yourself if it's still accurate. If it isn't, change it.
It's okay for the things you want to change. You don't want the same things now that you did when you were 3 years old. You can't expect a 3-year old's list to be full of money and job related things, it'll just be full of candy. That's okay, it's natural. The more you grow, the more you change, and the more your list will change.
It's not about being able to show your list to your teacher and saying "look, Elfpath is at the top!" or "Elfpath is in the middle (you're teaching wrong!)". You're not gonna get a grade for it. It's just a tool for you to gain some insight into yourself, to keep you asking questions instead of settling for answers.

Welcome Home!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:47:00 +0000

Dear friends and family,

Welcome to the new world! We hope you have had an amazing weekend, and have had the opportunity to sense the transformation coming over our planet.

For the last few weeks, Elfpath has been keeping you informed on the progress of the Shift, what sort of difficulties you could expect in the time leading up to it, how to handle them, and how to participate in making our new world a beautiful one. We would like to thank you all for your many responses and your help in this process.

We have now solidly arrived.

The window of transformation opened this last Friday, October 8, around 1am European time. For those who were paying attention, the difference was immediate, and enormous. Within a space of about 15 minutes, people from all over the world were sensing a shockwave of new energy washing over us, uprooting the old energies of our long planetary night and replacing them with perhaps the first rays of sun this planet has seen in hundreds of thousands of years.

It was beautiful, and it just kept going. Many of us couldn't resist watching on a global level, and saw the planet almost literally light up, shining brilliantly. Those who are visually enclined saw the planet turning green as heart energies became activated, and an intense feeling of love, compassion, joy spread over the face of the Earth. Those prefering auditory senses reported that the noise died down, and something like music and light bells could be heard. The orbit around our planet was crowded with friends and family, some human, some not, who wanted to witness this monumental event and share it with us. A lot of new souls came into the world this weekend, and many others have left. There was an overwhelming feeling of peace, a shining love, that touched all of us.

For the next 48 or so hours, this process continued, settling the new energies firmly in the foundations of the Earth, changing the fundamental tone on which all of life on our planet is built. Feelings of sadness, pain, suffering, loneliness, violence, were still present, but they were no longer engrained in the core energies of the planet. Instead they drifted in the air, like a cloud of dust after a big release. And where before, they felt like just a part of life, now they feel distinctly inappropriate.

Those are our first impressions on an energy level. But what could you actually notice in your every day life? We received many emails of people feeling sudden spells of dizziness and nausea throughout the weekend, with occasional headaches and bouts of giggles... and the strong urge to simply hug everyone and smile all day. Those who attuned themselves to the new energies almost immediately noticed that they needed much less sleep. Especially as the transformation was going on, many of us did not get more than 3 or 4 hours sleep a night, and we did not need more.

Today, 10 October 2010, the window closed again. The new energies are now firmly anchored into the planet, and will be setting the tone for everything that happens in the upcoming thousands of years. This is a huge cause for celebration. All the messiness, the emotional garbage coming to the surface and uprooting your life, the restlessness and feeling of having to do something important... that's all over now. We're here, we've shifted. Hello, new world!

Now is an excellent time to start new things in your life, to ask what is really important to you, and to go get it. What was impossible in the old world may very well be possible now. Much more energy has been running through everyone's system, which may cause an initial period of adjustment. However, it also means that new and very exciting things are suddenly possible. Intuitive gifts will start awakening in everyone, regardless of age or culture or believes. Sensing and affecting energies will be much easier now. The process of learning the Meta-Intuitive Arts and clearing the problems stored in your physical, emotional and energetic bodies over the span of generations has become easier, and can be done much faster.

Welcome to our beautiful new world, all of you. We're very happy to see you here, and to start building the new era in human history together! All that remains to be done now is to hold as strongly as we can our vision of this new world, and to start building it. Start connecting to other people, reach out, go over your everyday routines and your negative emotions towards other people, and remind yourself that these are now no longer appropriate. Replace them with something better. And go be all that you were meant to be.

Life has never looked so promising.

Love,
Rohaa

Before/After

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 12:32:00 +0000

I can jabber on and on about how lovely the changes are up until now, but I'll show you instead.

For those who can, I ask you to look for the energy behind the two pics. Get a feel for my emotions, the degree of chaos in both pics, anything.
For those who can't, just wonder if there's a reason why the right one seems so much more lovely.

For those who can't help but want, I'll give you guys a post about the changes so far later on.

The Shift is NOW

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:24:00 +0000

Dear friends and family,

We've been waiting for a long time, but finally, we're here. We've all made it, more or less in one piece, and we're ready. Or as ready as we're ever going to be. The time for preparations, if there ever was any, is over. Whatever you have now, whoever you are now, this is it. This is how you are going to go into the new age that await our planet, into the greatest time of transformation that our world has perhaps ever known.

The Shift that so many people have been talking about for such a long time is not in some vague, undefined distance anymore, nor is it in this mysterious year 2012 as popular culture would have you believe.

It's now.

In about 3 hours from the time of writing, the window will open, and for the following approximately 40 hours, the final transformation process will work its way through our planet and through our selves, shaking up our roots and doing away with all those fundamental planetary energies which will no longer be appropriate in the new times.

Then, it's over. This world is ended, and a new one has begun.

Those who are paying attention may be astounded at the difference. Those who are not... may not be able to tell a difference at all. That is ok. We do not expect people who are unaware and still mostly asleep to notice something that is beyond the range of their perception. For them, the world may appear to go on as it always has. In a few decades, perhaps history will look back on this time, and marvel at the beautiful change wrought in our society in such a short time. They will be surprised that so many did not notice what was going on right under their noses. But it doesn't matter. Whether you are aware or not, whether you dare to expect the world to change or are too cynical and badgered down by the trouble of the old world, the Shift is happening now, and nothing can stop it.

In some 48 hours from now, the world will be dramatically different from the way it has been for thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. All the violence, the abuse, the manipulation and pain will give way to the new energies of awareness, openness, appreciation, excitement, growth, connectivity. This does not mean that all the darkness will be gone from the world at once, but the tone has been set, and there is only a way forward now, for all of it. And it will be beautiful.

The final transformation of the coming 48 hours has been building up very strongly for the last few weeks. Important signs for many people included being more tired than usual, feeling antsy and pacing, like there is something you want but you don't know what, like there is something you should be doing if only you could figure it out. Often there were spells of dizziness or nausea, sudden gassiness, getting more snappy with loved ones and strangers alike for no reason at all, having emotional problems you thought you had safely buried come up again. These are not bad things. There are simply signs that your world is being rocked. Consider it seasickness on a metaphysical level. And just ground yourself into the earth, centre your awareness in your guts, and breathe.

Now is an excellent time for you to ask yourself all the important questions. What do I want out of my life? Is there more to life than just going to work and eating and sleeping and family? If so, what is it? Do I want it? Am I doing what I feel I should be doing at the moment? What is it I feel really passionate about? - And don't worry too much about answers. There is too much change going on at the moment for answers to be reliable, or lasting. But get good at asking the questions, and keep an open mind. Change is much more difficult if you desperately cling to all your old ideas, and so much easier if you see it as an opportunity to explore and experience amazing new things.

To quote the Hopi elders:
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves.
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done
in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.

See you on the other side,

Love,

Busy Times!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 22:20:00 +0000

I was first thinking of the busy school year now, but soon I figured the same goes for the meta. In my own life, there isn't a minute in which I can't do something. I'm a senior highschool student now, so that means a lot of big projects that will determine whether I pass or not, regardless of any other test results. That reason was my original motivation to make this post, but I looked over one very. urgent. thing.

Main article can be found here. below is a shorter summary that misses important details, since it focusses on my own take on this. Read it before you continue.

Sceptic towards this or not, if you're still reading this, I'm pretty sure you want to know what someone else, aside of Rohaa, has to tell about all of this. I am not nearly as experienced as she is, and not as Angel by a long shot. But I am definitely sensitive enough to notice that something is on the move. Without a doubt.

I've been told by Rohaa and Angel on multiple occasions that I have to stop thinking that everything I feel is my own. However confusing that is, let me put it this way. Whenever I am angry towards someone, I often simply pick up on their sense of self-hate, or hate in general. When I'm sad, someone close to me tends to be down. Even when a body part aches for no reason, I often find out later that it's not mine, often through friends complaining that they are in pain. It goes as far as thinking that I love someone, while that person actually just has a crush on me, and I might not even like that person at all.

For a long time, I wasn't aware of this, even though it was happening. I wasn't trained to notice these things, and neither were people so touchy and.. whimsy. But recently, things have been speeding up. My own gifts have gotten better recently - mainly due to my time spent at the Meeting. Afterwards, I started seeing that what I feel personally gets stronger when I focus on someone around me. In that case, whatever emotion I'd feel is theirs. Without doing this, however, I'm totally not able to tell my own emotions apart of theirs. This, however helpful it will be in the future, made me pick up tons of emotions that weren't mine.
Taking in things that aren't yours create a mess in your system, and once you pay attention to that, you can really feel it hurt (not that it's a bad thing; you can only fix things when you can tell what's wrong).

And now, with all this new energy come bursting in, I have seen some improvements in my intuition, and of course my sensitivity. The past week, I've been feeling messier than ever. Often as if I get sick, or I have a random headache. I sleep badly, maybe I have a lot of nightmares. Most of the time, I just feel drained. This past week, I've been angry or sad as many times as I'd normally be in a whole month, or even longer. 31 days of mess packed into 7 days.

If you've taken classes, or read some entries here, you might know that the gut is a strong energy core (might google chakras). Whenever unhealthy energy comes your way, in the form of dark emotions, thoughts, beings, or anything, you can often feel it right there. The energy you pick up is stirring things up and messes with your system.

This is a solid indication for me that things are happening. My guts haven't been left untouched for ages, it seems. People are more touchy, confused. There's more chaos out there. I feel that people out there are feeling this. And that's only the people I know or happen to be around. The entire world is aware of this, but simply doesn't understand. Confusion causes fear. Fear causes anger. This keeps the world from seeing something important. Everyone needs to understand that this new energy will make change happen.

This is 3 weeks apart from the Shift. From now on, the amount of energy coming in will only ramp up. So anyone who reads this, and feels what I'm talking about here, keep the information close to your heart. This new flow of energy will make change happen. If you want to know what you can do, what you can expect, how you can gain something out of this, and help others too... Read the link I provided once more, carefully, and realise that your decision can help decide what your world will become. Take matter into your own hands.

Good luck!

Note: Let it be known that, while I do pick up more than average since I'm quite sensitive by nature, and trained to sense things, everyone picks up mess from their environment. It's not just me.

I Attract Pixies

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:48:00 +0000

Note: Again, this is an event that happened during the meeting.

Yes, pixies. Well, I'm not sure if that's what you could call them, because I couldn't actually see them, until at the end when I got one detailed image. I just knew of their presence and where they were. Which was a bit weird in the beginning, but at the same time quite hilarious.

Anyway, here it comes.
Rohaa, Agna and I were strolling around in the mall. We first had lunch there, and played with our dowsing rods and food. Agna and I felt uneasy at first, since... well, just imagine how you would react when you had to use dowsing rods in a public place. Looking at those rods while they zoom around and point at random foods and you asking them "This? No? How about that? Higher? Lower?"... It went quite alright though, and we quickly got used to the idea of being judged as crazy. Chances are we are nuts anyway. Ah well.

We let the rods guide us to the food we wanted (and, not quite surprisingly, I ended up with cake!), and then let them show the size of the food's energy field. Initially it was terribly small, pretty much unnoticeable. Then we put energy in it. What a difference! We actually had to take a few steps away from the table because the rods kept signalling that it was bigger. People were giving us weird looks, though a few were quite interested. Two people (our 'neighbours') actually asked us about what the things were, and Rohaa started explaining stuff about Elfpath, and then showed how the rods work...

Then she asked me over to scan some random things about the two. She suggested scanning how many kids he has, so I did, and focussed on looking for people close to him that felt quite young. I ended up seeing one bigger blob of blue energy in front of me, and then two smaller ones, so I went with two kids. Spot on, they were 5 and 8 years or something. Then I scanned the woman's close young energies and found only one. So I went with one kid. That was a miss, though she explained she has two grown kids, over 20 years each. One of them has a grandchild. Ah. With the term 'family' being so hazy as it is, and me looking for young energy specifically, I was kinda right anyway. Then they asked me to get a scan on the granddaughter. Rohaa asked me what gifts she has, and I got a strong sense of a 5th chakra gift, which is all about hearing things just knowing things, expression, willpower,... and a 6th too. I'm not sure of what gifts it is about, but the Third Eye chakra governs Intuition and Telepathy. I got an image of her dancing and being quite emotional about it. Loving it. Rohaa got fairly similar impressions; I hit the nail on 5th and 6th, though she saw her painting and the like. Something that also needs expression, such as dancing, but it did seem to fit her better than what I scanned. I think I did pretty awesome. If I may say so myself. Then Rohaa gave them a business card. I hope we hear from them again some time.

Anyway, I'm kind of derailing here. Pixies. Yes. Okay, so after we ate and played some more with the dowsing rods (like pointing out who had the most potential for Sensing or Shaping in the entire room. There was an enormously sensitive kid walking around behind us), we went to search for some materials to make those rods. We talked a bit about what happened, what would happen in the future, ect.. and weren't really paying attention to where we were headed.

Rohaa: Okay, why are we here.
Us: Beats me. I was following *you*... *point at someone else*
Rohaa: Either way, we're here for a reason. Let's find out what.

So we went looking around in the section with lots of lamps and similar things, and we were attracted to this spot on the wall. I had no idea what was there, but Agna could confirm what Rohaa thought she was looking at. To them it was this little, football-sized energy being that Rohaa promptly called a Pixie. All I could make out at best was a faint yellow blob thing, hopping up and down. I had to squeeze my eyes almost shut and blur my view (which helps to look at less dense energy, rather than looking at the physical things), and still couldn't see much - if anything at all.

We could agree about a few things. First, this is one of the few times you'd get to see one of these. It's got a very pure heart going on, something you don't see very often on this planet. Second, it was very, very energetic and enthusiastic. Almost child-like. It did seem to be a young creature. Three, it seemed to be very fond of me.

Rohaa: I think it wants to be with you.
Me: Oh? *turns towards piece of wall* Well if you want to come with me, tag along!
Rohaa: ... *laughs* It's asking if it can bring friends... "Can I bring friends?! 8D"
Me: Umm... sure?
*both Agna and Rohaa watched as the Pixie started moving around frantically*
I assumed it was yelling YAY at an amazingly fast rate.

Me: Why isn't it talking to me though?
Rohaa: It's trying to, but you're not listening.
Me: Hahn?

I tried my best, but even though I've a 5th gift, hearing proved amazingly difficult. Eventually I stopped trying. We continued to search for the materials, with Rohaa and Agna being extremely amused as an increasing amount of Pixies started to swarm around me, all trying to get my attention. Difficult when I can't physically see them to begin with. I could imagine their energy bodies when I closed my eyes, just seeing colours and size, but that's not very convenient in a big store. Being blind and all.
We ended up with six Pixies, and something else that didn't belong there. To me, it was coloured red, compared to the yellow Pixies. It wasn't big though, so I just lifted my hand and flung my middle finger against it, shooting it away like a bat with a baseball.

Me: My ears tingle.
Rohaa: I can imagine. They're pulling your ears to get you to listen.
Me: Argh, let go! *waves arms around*

They tried a few more times, and commented on my hair. Apparently it should be 'spiky'. Which it normally is. And one ran around on my head, some sat on my shoulder. Eventually some gave up, so I had to find something quickly, because obviously they had a message. After a while, Rohaa just sat me down on one of the couches that were for sale. I held out my hand, until one of the things came to stand on it. I closed my eyes, focused on it's energy and got a fairly detailed image after a while. A bit like a small, sparkly yellow humanoid. It didn't have any wings, but it wore something that looked much like a hat made out of petals.

Listening to it didn't work, so I just focussed on it's behaviour (I'm saying 'it' because either it's genderless, or it has an identity complex). The way it behaved was similar to how I am at my core; enthusiastic, social, almost a child-like innocence and playfulness, though still wise by nature. Angel mentioned that same day that, rather than being the EpicLunatic, I was behaving much like an Epic Safeguy. I finally made the obvious click and realised that I wasn't being true to who I am. I did feel at home, so I should have eased up, but for that same reason I was afraid of being ridiculed when I did show who I am.

The Pixie took a bow, and went to sit on my shoulder. As one of many other creatures, it said to Rohaa that "He is a bit... dense, isn't he". But hey, I finally got the message. I can show who I am. It's awesome.

After a while it got bored again and decided to stay with this miniature plush horse we walked past. So cute.
I wonder if we could find anything similar to those things some time. Rohaa tried to trace where they came from, and ended up at a different planet, probably in a different dimension too.
How about that? I'm so awesome that even aliens want to be with me.
xD

Lotsa love, guys.

Martial Arts

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 17:16:00 +0000

Note: This topic, as well, is mainly inspired by the time I spent in the Netherlands.

You might want to read some Wiki entries to show how we somewhat connect to the more Eastern style of teaching. Which makes it rather obvious that doing Martial Arts - such as Karate, is a splendid idea. But there's more to it.

In one of the Advanced classes of IKAS, we discussed the importance of taking MA classes. It's an Advanced class, so some of this may not immediately make sense to some. At all. But I'll try to make it make sense somewhat anyway. Here goes.

Some may have heard of this, some not, but we have more than one 'body'. What I mean by this are bodies such as the physical, obviously, but also the emotional, mental and energetic bodies. They're all on separate planes since one is denser than the other, but they're all connected. Meaning that, if one body is in bad shape (obese, depressed, drained,...), the other bodies will suffer as well. Like you can get ulcers from stress, for example.

In an earlier post, I explained the effects of putting healthy energy in your food, right? When you have a lot of anger going on, and you cook food, that food will have a lot of that mess stored in it. Which you eat. The same happens when you have anger going on when you train. Every bit of tissue you build up will have messy energy stored in it. When you include the tissues you got by just growing when you were young, that makes for a lot of messy tissue.
On top of that, whenever you fight emotions - which happens way more than I originally thought, you stop energy from moving in your body, and all the mess that comes up from that spreads all over in dense chunks, blocking up your system even further.

There's also the idea that all the energy bodies get stronger the more they 'train'.
Your physical body is obviously the same. Especially for those trained in the meta-physical, this is important since all other bodies are trained already; your physical body becomes the weakest link.
All the muck that got stored there while growing up/training is still there. Since all bodies are linked, they all get mucked up too.

You might be wondering why nobody ever seems to notice this, since they should be in pain: all blocked up, little energy flowing and all kinds of health issues popping up. People actually are in pain, but over the years we've trained ourselves so well to ignore it.

So we ignore our body, and in turn it just grows messier, and ends up pulling us down.
Here's where Martial Arts comes in. If you can find a proper school, they'll train several things for you: Stamina, muscle and flexibility. If it really is a proper school, you'll also be trained in awareness. Knowing where your opponents are at all times, feeling by physical contact where their weight is and what they're going to do next, teaching you to respond when something suddenly comes at you. Some schools actually even get you into meditation and things similar to GCB when you get to black belt.

So when your body is physically healthy and in shape, meta things will become a lot easier. You can keep up working on issues and clearing blocks without your body whining even once. When you physically become flexible, you can work out knots on your other bodies as well. With more muscle comes more power and confidence to handle crisis situations. The increased awareness is always a nice bonus, too.

On a different note, when you exercise, you start sweating. All that stuff comes from your body reserves -- the stuff you stored when you ate plenty. If you're not trained in avoiding messy things in food, those will have gunk you don't want. So you actually start breaking down the reserves and get rid of the muck.
--------

That pretty much sums up what MA can do for you. It gets you mentally stable, energetically active, emotionally calm and physically well-trained. You end up being happier, disciplined, confident, and so on.
I've got some sort of proof. Though that depends on how much you can take my word for it. But if you're still reading this, I'm guessing you don't have much of a problem.

I've enrolled myself in a Karate school. I tried it once in the Netherlands and was sold immediately. I've taken a few classes by now and am about to get my outfit, so I'll probably update with a picture somewhere.
Anyway, in those few classes I've been physically tired, but still energised. I had energy to spare, in comparison to my years of badminton. I was tired and just empty back then. It's a huge difference. It's also helping me with my confidence and discipline, things I have a lot of work with, so it's a perfect package.

Be sure to give it a try, it works wonders for your system.
Lotsa love!

Power of Two

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:04:00 +0000

Note: Again, this is one of the things I've experienced during the meeting. Thanks guys for organising this meeting, and Angel for putting up with us. I do realise he had a more difficult time while we were there. Though considering, for me, it's def worth repeating until the end of times.

Yes, two. I refuse to go to the corny side and call it one, because this needs people with their very own, distinctly different personalities.

What I am blabbing about is the partnership nature between people. In this case, it's about two kinds: Shapers and Sensers. Sensers have keen senses to pick up energies (such as emotions, ghosts, above average intuition, and so on), while Shapers are awesome at changing the energies they perceive (such as healing darker energy, sending ghosts on, shielding, even affecting the weather).
It doesn't mean that because you're one, you can't do the other. So when i say that everything is energy, if you wouldn't be able to shape any energy at all, you'd be dead. No processing food, no using muscles, no nothing. If you wouldn't be able to sense anything at all, you'd be blind, paralysed, deaf, ... basically braindead. Which is dead too.
You can probably see where I am going. When these people come together, things happen.

This can actually go both ways:
If people careless with these sensing and shaping gifts, things sometimes get out of control. Shapers will damage the people around them, and Sensers destroy themselves because they simply overload so much. A bit like comparing exploding to imploding.
There has been a nice example of this while we were at the zoo. Mel is a good Senser, and Mari is good at shaping things. They also happen to be close friends. Mari had a sensitive issue popping up about something she loved a lot, and was radiating dense, icky energy. Mel, being both a good senser and pretty close to her, caught up on those pretty well and went all pale. She felt a bit like she was having a sudden stroke of flu. Eventually they both tackled the issue together, with the help of Rohaa and the others, got more stable and In Power, and ultimately got stable again, after dealing with most of - if not the whole issue. They resolved it with this beautifully emotional hug in the end.
It's also the same between Rohaa and Angel. Angel has senses out of this world, and Rohaa is incredible with her shaping. So whenever one gets unstable, it hurts quite a lot since their gifts are so strong.
Luckily, we get trained to be able to stand our own ground, and guide those who can't yet, so these cases are quickly solved and cured.

The other side of the coin is more often seen, and a lot more awesome as well. If people can keep themselves energetically healthy and In Power (which involves, among others, continuous GCB), both can do giant miracles. The Senser can pick up energies like no-one else, and go like "Hey, look there, you see? Something is messing with your energy" while the Shaper can focus on that, and easily get rid of it. Compared to the other who'd have more trouble with clearing the energy.
Use your imagination. This teamwork can do so much for themselves, the other, and the entire world. Rohaa and Angel have worked together to change energy on a global level, and have kept some seriously unhealthy things from happening.
I'm also sure that this has, to some degree, helped keep the dreaded 2012 scene from being reality; During the age of Flower Power, people came together and created such intense energy that they changed the fate of our world for the better. At one point, destruction was absolutely a possibility, but these people changed that. This wasn't only due to sensing and shaping gifts; they may not even have been aware of this yet, but I've a hunch it's got to do with it.

I have a similar connection to Agna, one of the students I met. I'm the sensing guy, she's a shaper. I can't wait until we find something concrete to work with, like teaching a class together. We can go a long way together, with the two of us. We're actually pretty close in multiple ways, too. Not only are we good friends, our energies are so similar that we seem brother and sister to anyone who can compare us. We also feel that way as a physical relationship. So we've both got power going, and when the two of us can work in tandem, we too will create wonders.

When life gives us lemons, we'll make grape juice!

On a side note, I'm quite sure the 'Power of Two', as I call it, doesn't appear only as a Shaping/Sensing combo. People can discover so many gifts, and everyone is unique. I'm sure that people can find ways to work together perfectly aside of this. And with more than two. The entire world seems like a nice goal to aim for.

How to diet intuitively!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:20:00 +0000

Note: This is something I learned a lot about in the time I spent in the Netherlands to learn more about intuition.

Yeah, this is perfectly possible to do. Best thing of all is: you can eat whatever your body really wants to! It's not even necessarily a low-fat diet or something. You can stay healthy without this.
Huh?

Well here is the thing: Whatever your body needs, isn't necessarily healthy, biologically. But whatever it is, something about the energy in the food just resonates with what you happen to need the most at that time of the day.

Rohaa, our master-teacher, has very often bought the weirdest combination of things. When you check the energy of each bit of it, you can just tell that her gut will really enjoy eating it. Even if her tastebuds don't.

A lot of the students, like me, can do that too, with some practice and basic knowledge. I can just walk into the store, go stand in front of the drinks section, and check how my gut feels when I take in a big amount of whatever I'm looking at. I can often be very surprised. Like, when we went out to get lunch, I felt that a cheese sammich was a healthy choice.
Now you have to know that I thought I do not like cheese. But the others of the Elfpath gang scanned that as false.
I actually really like cheese. But my tastebuds don't. Considering that though, I have to say I really enjoyed eating it, even if it didn't taste so good. It was easy to tell since usually I get hungry after 2 hours or so. I wasn't hungry until 4 hours later.

This was often comically proved by the others. Some of us are very talented as shaping energy, and being intuitive, they could pick up my hunger, and when they'd not pay attention, they radiate the hunger to the others very strongly. Which resulted in a hunger that could only be stilled by my eating things.

Anyway, you can do this with everything. Small snacks, entire meals, drinks... I think you can even scan what toilet paper your butt likes. And when you find something that fits, you do the next step: You clear the food and fill it with healthy energy. When you do that, it actually tastes better! And with all the mucky energy replaced with healthy things, it's a lot better for your system.

For that same reason, whatever Angel cooks up tastes de.li.cious. He happens to be one of - probably the - strongest intuitive person around. So yeah, he is awesome at stuffing energy in food. Though it's easy, really.

Also, it doesn't mean that everything is healthy when you simply put energy in it. No matter how long you try, you'll stay dead if you drink poison. Theres also this thing about sugar and fat. The daily necessary dose is good/necessary; but when you go over that, sugar feeds your anger level and fat makes you less sensitive. Which is a bit sad, since i really like greasy stuff and sugar. XD

That's about all you have to know to have a healthy intuitive diet! It helps to have dowsing rods (more later) since they can point you straight to what you want, but just scanning around works great too. Two simple things, and you'll be healthy as a fish. Or something like that.

Also, here's a picture:

That's me, yes. Eating pie. And that was perfectly healthy and delicious. Funny thing actually; I'm one of few people who can say that 'I love pie!' without it being a lie. Most people just like the taste, without it being healthy. Both work for me. Yay!

Elfpath meeting was awesome.

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:52:00 +0000

I got back from the meeting yesterday evening. I have to admit that I was a bit sad when I left, since I felt I was leaving home. These people I have always thought of as family, and in the time I spent in the Netherlands, that feeling has just grown so much stronger. I am already looking forward to our next meeting.

There's this thing that happens when people get together for the same cause. You get this peer pressure going on that makes people strive to get better than yesterday, or even this morning. Now, if those people happen to also all be trained in the intuitive arts, you also get a form of amplification; you pick up on the gifts or talents of the others, while your own get sky-rocketed! It's a brilliant combination. I never felt this much aware of my own sensitivity, and my drive to get better at it was as strong as never before.
(To all EP-members that happen to read this: get together more often!)

So it's only natural that a lot of interesting things happened. Way too much to put in one post (and I'm not even mentioning the pictures and videos yet. But I'll give a quick summary of what happened. They're marked as Must Post, Potentially Interesting, Great for Me/Maybe Not for Blogging and Just Plain Old Amusing.

Note: And to think that people tend to forget about 70% of what they are told. Wow, and the list is already that impressive (and I didn't even include small insights since they're not useful as blog posts). In just 4 days and a half. Dang.

Yay, no updates until Aug 30!

noreply@blogger.com (EpicLunatic) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:52:00 +0000

Yes, time for a blog break. Because some EP members - including me, will be meeting up in the Netherlands. I will take my laptop, but this is for class-purposes only. No blogging. For means of compromising, I will take my cam as well, and will take plenty of pics and some moves perhaps.

Notable pic themes:
- The Dinner with a TON of other members.
- The trip to the zoo, to have a one-on-one session with real-life animal totems!
- Probably will have stuff on the home-made dowsing rods
- All members! Family picture time!

... among others.

I can't wait! This'll be a blast.
