Help with Psi investigations re. Lord Don ...

Hello, all ...

Ed and I were having a discussion about the situation around Lord Don out in Salem. As some of you may recall, a week or so back a very strange occurrence happened, in which one of Don's "family" rings (which, to his knowledge, had not been unpacked) appeared on the floor in the museum.

Due to the chaos of the last couple of weeks, this was noted, but more or less "shrugged off".

It was my perception that this was the "turning point" between when things were moving ahead "as planned" and when things started to run off the rails a bit.

Ed added that there was a sense out in Salem that "the town was possessed" and that the Witch Trial story, by its constant repetition, had somehow given energy to, if not certain spirits, then at least to a particular "psychic rut" (the other-worldly equivalent of an "idée fixe") which was operating there; with the implication that the "new theme" represented by the World of Witches Museum in particular, and, perhaps, Correllianism in general, was either being attacked or having a hard time "getting traction" in that environment.

As there are, no doubt, many on this site who have a good deal of practice (by whatever techniques are individually used) at "seeing" things on the other planes, we thought it would be useful to put out to call for folks, were they so inclined, to try to get a sense of what was causing these odd occurrences, situational difficulties, and, ultimately, health issues for Don.

If you feel you can help with this, please add your perceptions to the discussion.

thanks,

- E.G.

Merry Meet, the feeling that I get from all of this is a jealousy from the spirits that the Museum is doing well. They are doing everything that they can to derail it, including Reverend Don and his health. He may in fact have heart problems, as a sign of congestive heart failure is retention of fluids. He should have this checked IMMEDIATELY by a cardiologist to rule it out! Or at least, go to the nearest Emergency Room, but that will cost more than a cardiologist. How do I know this sign? Both of my parents have/had congestive heart failure. You DON'T mess around with it. A diuretic will help with the fluid retention in the legs. An anti-inflammitory and a pain-killer will help with the arthritis, but he's probably on them. Combined with arthritis, this swelling makes the legs, feet and knees incredibly sore. I have arthritis, and I can sympathize with him. I truly wish Reverend Don to be feeling better and to have access to great medical care for his ailments. For the Museum, I wish that the spirits would not feel threatened by it and its success, and hope that the payments for the Museum are met and then some, with plenty left to run the place without fear of closing down. Many Blessings, Reverend Don,

Crescent

Crescent, forgive me for being dumb/puzzled here... But what kind of spirits - I'm assuming you are talking about denizens of the spirit world here - would have the ability to develop a human feeling such as jealousy?

I've always been under the impression that spirits functionned differently than humans - they may take offense, but I never heard of jealousy... Unless they are disincarnate humans, in which case, would we not be dealing with "mindless residual energies from a dead person's Lower Self", i.e. NOT the deceased's Higher Selves, which would not stoop to such lowly actions as petty jealousy over someone's successful museum?

Do you think that it's the residual Lower Selves of all of Salem's historical deads that created the Spirit of Salem, and are acting up against one man, that is, Don? (I'm brainstorming here.)

That being said, the immediate needs are to make that late payment, and make sure Don has access to a roof, food, and medical attention. Paranormal investigation, for all its validity, HAS to come second-place until Don's immediate needs are met.

I don’t know if this will help, but here is my personal experience with dealing with a spirit of a land and community mind set. It’s a little long so bear with me:

When I lived near the Smokey Mountains several years ago I had dealt with a spirit of the land. I could not tell if it was a once human spirit that had become attached to the land or a spirit of the land that had taken on human characteristics. After I became aware of this entity and after making several inquiries I found out that the local community was very aware f this spirit because it covered a few hills.

People believed that this spirit was tied to a civil war battle that had happened nearby (Battle of Blue Springs), while others believed it to be a Demon/Devil tied to several caves in the nearby area. There were some areas (notably around Anderson Loop) where the entity’s energy was particularly heavy, and I found myself being affected by the energy.

It was possible to see the shape of the entity, but not the actual features. It also did not have a ‘personality’ per se as a human or human type spirit would, and would not exactly interact with you. This is what led me to believe it was not a human spirit. I also found that those who were aware of it or believed in the stories/history of the area were more open to being affected by it.

In order to protect myself from being influenced by its energy I developed a meditation that allowed me to connect to the energy of the Goddess both in her aspect of the Moon Goddess and the Earth Goddess. This is what I did-
Go to the place in question and sit comfortably. See the Goddess in her aspect of the Moon Goddess and her silvery white energy flowing down through your chakras filling your body and exiting your root chakra piercing the ground and connecting to the earth’s essence (I saw this as a gold/yellow energy), pierce through the actual land mass as you want to go beyond the physical property. Draw this Earth Goddess energy back along the same route up through your Crown chakra and connect it to the Moon Goddess’ source energy. Once they are connected to each other you will want to see them merging at your solar plexus to create a healing energy protective energy. Begin to see this expanding beyond your physical body in either a mist or mesh that covers and pierces the land allowing the energy to both protect and heal those that occupy it and the land mass itself. You will want to see this as a cone or a three dimensional diamond constantly looping the energy, keeping it in play, and recycling/renewing.

At the time I was fairly young and did not have the understanding or capability of purging the entire area of the entity, but considering that it was fed by people’s fears and superstitions within the community I’m not entirely sure if it would even be possible. However, by creating and maintaining these centers in areas I frequented I was able to prevent this entity from being able to influence the properties in question and the people on/within them.

This method takes a large amount of energy and capability to manipulate/expand/maintain energy on a bigger scale than most workings. I don’t know if it would be possible if your energy is depleted due to an illness etc.

This was just my personal experience with a spirit/entity of this nature and how I dealt with it. I hope it helps or at least sheds some light on a possible resolution.

Sending Lord Don lots of healing energy!
Many Blessings,
Phil

The results of my psychic investigation are in. I have determined that there is no witch war, no spirit, or no individual which is causing strife.

However, I have received messages that the economy may be one of the culprits.

Ed, when you said "I often saw armies of spirits marching and living over the seat and entering and leaving bodies at will". I got a flash of that as I was reading it. A bit spooky, even to me.
I can't help but feeling Don has been given the answer. Let me explain, my wife just went to the store. Before leaving she politly asked if I needed anything. I told her that I did and what to get. When she returned I asked if she had gotten what I needed. Her reply was "You never told me you needed that". Easy to find fault with her in this instance, but don't we all do that? Aren't there times when we ask for answers but for some reason forget to listen? The ring is the signal, the notice, the ancestors way of saying "Slow down, your'e missing something". This is really the impression that I get.
Sincere Blessings to you all. Rev. Bruce Richards HP

Perhaps Rev. Don's family ring appeared as a signal from his departed ancestors who have crossed over that they are going to be with him, protecting him & guiding him in this most difficult time.

Can I offer a sort of Funny suggestion to maybe attract more people to the Salem Witch Museum.
(I do not know what your museum offers so if it already exists I apologize)
One thing not affected much by recession is FOOD. I work in the food industry.
If the Witch Museum doe not have one it should sell a Tasty Treat or treats of some sort. Something to draw people in who at first may care less about "Witch History" but then maybe "Read On"
Sell an IRRESISTIBLE food Item even if it is just 1 or 2 great things. Something "Halloweeny"
Some awesome Pumpkin desert or drink perhaps. (Think of it ,food or travel network saying "Witch Museum makes the best "fill in the blank")
Just a though,t food is a great way to bring cultural acceptance.

I am getting the "Vibe " forgive the Mundane nature of my point but I think if your Museum becomes known for an AMAZING food item it will bring more money.
I investigated your museum site and saw nothing on food. (I am not selling anything by the way am a working class person who works at a store).
But the Item or Items would have to be amazing.well above average and affordable.(good luck)
I am sorry to reinstate this point but I feel it with passion.
I can see it .
Walking into the museum and a beautiful smell of mulling spice, cinnamon ,nutmeg pumpkin something or other.
Anyway just my vision. That was my vision when I looked within for an answer without.Simple, mundane and a bit silly and fun.
Blessed Be :Sparrow

armies / any form of attack period. that which we muster from within the self , anger,aggression, and most of these appear when the we are in conflict with anxieties that we are having , such as the need for support , or the lack their of.
spirits/ghosts meaning their will be set backs and delays in money matters, many many worries. thus the ring falling to the floor tells me so as well. a sign of woes. I have answered this twice now , and he knows what I have told him. Take care Don , getting any business of the ground in this economy is a leap of faith, and in that area this is seasonal, good money will flow from spring to fall but after that the woe is on you. use these resources wisely my friend. now can we please take this off the board , Good Luck Don .
