Christmas List to Santa

Hi

Been a while since last post but personal circumstances haven't been great and consequently lost my "Mo Jo"

Anyway back to Christmas the time of "Good will to all men" & "peace on earth"

Is it just my depressive mood or have we human beings lost the plot or never really got it?

Whatever our faith surely us westerners have got to get a grip on what we are, what we do and the consequences of our decisions and actions

I recently watched with horror, the Iraq enquiry and although conscious of the value of an enquiry, wondered why as a nation or individuals we allowed this and any other wars to flourish
Of course I am not naive and realise that politics and other factors are the "mainstay" of any wars, but I feel that we need to start thinking about we do.
Each of us can make a difference if we step off the wheel, step out of the "machine" that blinds us to what we really are

We can start this by taking control of our lives. Each one of us needs to change the way we think. Start considering others, even in a small way.

Here's my Christmas Wish List:
Say hello to a neighbour, ask them if they're OK or maybe need some help?
Ask yourself whether you need something NOT want it
Think about other people you may know who live alone - get in touch
See what's on in your local area - hospitals,

charity orgs.

and give some time to assist them
Think about those who will not even have shelter this Christmas
Stop yourself being drawn into the "retail frenzy" by considering what Christmas or any holiday period is really about - it's about spending time with loved-ones, friends and family & does NOT relate to money in any way

So many of us take for granted the food, shelter, health and love we have. Don't wait until this is threatened - MAKE a DIFFERENCE NOW!
I'll now put my "soap box" away at least until the new year!

Paranormal Activity

Hi
Saw a review of this movie the other day and thought I'd share with you

Paranormal Activity is a 2007 independent horror film written and directed by Oren Peli. The movie premiered at the Screamfest Film Festival in the U.S. on October 14, 2007, and was shown at the Slamdance Film Festival on January 18, 2008. The movie received a limited release in several U.S. cities on October 9, 2009, and had a nationwide release on October 16, 2009. The movie centers on a young couple, Katie and Micah, who are haunted by a supernatural presence in their home. The movie is presented in a documentary style, using footage from the camera set up by the couple to capture what is haunting them, in a similar manner to The Blair Witch Project, and The Last Broadcast. It has set the record as the most profitable independent film ever made having earned over $100 million with a production budget of $15,000.Interesting
What make it interesting for me?
The genre obviously
Independent film created largely by the writer's collaboration with the producer
Unknown actors
Is of the moment as it reaches out to many who have used hand-held cameras whilst conducting their own ghost hunts
Is unnerving as even those of us who have taken part in videoing ghost hunts have probably never considered filming our own bedroom at night whilst we sleep
All in all a really scary movie!
Watch the trailer and let me know what you think

SLEEP WELL

Death of a Ghost Hunter

Hi

Just finished watching this film. Thought it may be of interest to some of you, particularly those paranormal investigators out there?

Acting is abysmal ( unless that was designed) and the structure has "grabbed" bits of the Blaire Witch project and many other horror genre films BUT I found the concept to be absolutely scary, even though I don't believe in the possibility of ghosts being "trapped"!

If you watch it please post your comments here - be interesting to see what you think

French Speaking Ghost

Hi

Our latest event held at Bolebroke Castle, has thrown something into the mix for the debate of Channeling
OK, so those of us who are interested in the subject are aware of the principles of channeling, i.e. two main techniques developed in the 20th century ( a psychic or sensitive who receives messages and relays them via the spoken word or written format / or a "trance" channeler who allows the spirit to enter their body and speak through them)
Much evidence has been researched over the years and put forward as proof of this activity. One of the most famous within this arena is J Z Knight who is the CEO of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment
Our psychic during the event at Bolebroke actually channeled whilst in King Henry VIII bedchamber and surprised guests and herself by the experience: She spoke in French, a language that she has no knowledge of. One of the guests fortunately did understand the language and consequently translated what was said.
The communication was by a lady in waiting to Anne Boleyne, named Annabelle who was her maid for 11 years in France. She states that she needs to apologise to Anne Boleyne for betraying her. She also confirms that she betrayed France. The Marquee de Paris is mentioned in the same sentence as well as the fact that letters written in French have been burned in the fireplace in this, the King's bedroom.
I can almost hear you say: "so what"!
Fact: Our psychic for this night's event did not know where she would be working prior to the event so she could not have researched anything.
Fact: Our psychic can NOT speak French or understand it

What do you make of this?
