life and have an empathy with nature know that it can be done. I have received thousands of letters from people who would like to practise the art of telepathy but who are distressed by their inability to form an image in their mind’s eye. They begin to feel that any kind of visualisation or telepathy exercises are beyond them, but this is not the case.
There is something I call ‘knowing’, and this is just as powerful as creating images. You know what you would like to see, and you know what you want to do. Once you have this confidence, the next step is to speak with your mind. It is as simple as reciting a poem in your head.
Each morning sees some task begin,Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,Has earned a night’s repose.
The Village Blacksmith
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807–1882
It is impossible to communicate with animals unless you can ‘feel’ their world, an environment of sensation, vibration, scent, acute hearing and telepathic communication. It is virtually impossible for a human being to achieve all of these things at the animal’s level, but with patience you can attain some of them in varying degrees. It really depends on how much time you are willing to devote to the project.
I have always been highly sensitive to different energy levels, all at the same time. The pull of one level tugging against another, and then the sensation of going into a slipstream, has been with me since birth. As a small child I was always aware of weather patterns and could forecast a storm three days before it arrived. But the first indication always came from the trees. I could feel them becoming more supple, as though they were shedding a certain rigidity. I knew that within hours they would begin to sway, even on a still day, as though in a light breeze, and at this point I would know a storm was imminent. When it arrived, the trees had become so supple that the branches would bend to a degree that under normal circumstances would have broken them in half.
I know now that the electrical disturbance in the atmosphere before a storm affects many people, but it is that extra something that makes one aware of the changes in all living things and able to understand the messages that are being transmitted through the ether.
Trees also know when they are to be felled. They absorb the content of the woodcutter’s thoughts like a sponge, and they react accordingly. It is not only trees that respond in this way, but nature as a whole. Invisible, inaudible things are happening all the time between species, which enable them to interact with their surroundings.
One would think that you could get nothing from a stone, but stone circles – which were used for supernatural purposes in a past age – are particularly powerful and have been shown to have unique frequencies that cannot be found elsewhere. Whenever I visit the sites of ancient stone circles and place my hands on the stones, it is as if time is rolled back and I enter another age, and I can then perceive a life which was vastly different to the way we live now. If I repeat the process later with the same stones, I might ‘timeslip’ to an entirely different period. In the world of the supernatural there are no rules – it cannot be disciplined, and that is why I find it so fascinating.
On one occasion, whilst I was decoding the messages from a particular stone in the centre of a circle, I realised I could neither hear nor feel the frequencies that are so apparent outside of the circle. I made a study of this particular phenomenon, and had the same experience every time. This makes me believe that the stones themselves create a barrier, warding off harmful rays, and that is why I think I have found the centre of these circles to be so perfect for meditation.
Mobile phones disrupt normal frequencies to such an extent that their effects can be picked up not only by psychics but by people who have no aptitude for the supernatural at all.
I was walking along a cliff top one day with a friend who considered himself to be the most non-psychic person you could ever meet. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, telling me that he could feel something hitting the back of his neck. Minutes before this happened I had also felt a certain bombardment throughout my body. Looking back, we could see two people, both using mobile phones. We decided to stay where we were until they passed. Once they had disappeared into the distance, everything returned to normal. Since then, we have conducted similar experiments with friends, and the same thing happens every time.
My friend no longer believes he is totally non-psychic, but is a little shattered to find that he reacts so badly to something he cannot see. The most unbelievable things in this world are those that we cannot see, sense or touch – that is the magic which can, in an instant, turn your life around when you experience it for the first time. I pointed out to him that these energies affect every living thing, especially birds, who have to find their way through the tangles we have created in the Earth’s magnetic circuit.
Animals, birds and insects are particularly sensitive to negative or black energies, and avoid areas where massacres have taken place – not massacres just of their own kind, but of humans too. Where terrible crimes have been committed, like the horrors that were carried out in concentration camps, the surrounding area is completely smothered by negativity of such a high density that it forms an indelible map which can never be erased. When in the future the whole world begins to use the psyche for survival, evolved humans will be able to read this map and wonder what kind of uncivilisation lived on this planet in earlier times.
The natural world inspires not only artists but those of us who want to interact and learn how to communicate with it. Like the human mind, the life force that surges throughout the whole of the natural world is independent of matter.
Through the systematic poisoning and destruction of the land, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy environment. Trees, plants, hedgerows and all living matter are affected. It is vital that each and every one of us should take into account the terrible damage that greed has done to our environment and reverse this trend where we can before more major disasters occur.
For centuries, Britain has had hedgerows, marking boundaries in a way that made our landscape look like a giant patchwork quilt. Small mammals, birds and insects found sanctuary in the tangled undergrowth, along with wild flowers that sheltered from the wind. Frogs, toads and other amphibians also sought shelter in the ditches that ran beside the hedgerows.
Yet over the past fifty years, the heart has been ripped out of the countryside. Now little over sixty per cent of these havens are left. Without the hedges, which act as natural windbreaks, winds have forged a path through crops and copse, causing considerable damage to the environment. Little thought was given to the consequences until it was too late.
Although farmers are now replacing some of the hedgerows, the land can never return to what it was before. The birds and other creatures which fed on and sought shelter within hedges have gone. Those which survived are few, and many have become endangered species.
The liberal use of poisons on the land has also affected humans, as the sickness in the soil reflects the sickness in ourselves. Over forty years ago, many people – myself included – did all we could to stop the use of DDT. At that time we were considered odd (at the very least) but we were right. Unfortunately, the greed had already set in, and more and more pesticides were approved and used.
It was clear that this insanity would gain ground, so I looked for a way to protect my family from harm and became a vitamin and mineral therapist. It was obvious to me, through study, that life-saving antioxidants were essential to healthy body maintenance.
At that time, whenever I introduced this subject into a conversation, people looked at me as though I was speaking a foreign language. Worse, they didn’t care. Now antioxidants are being hailed as the new science and are being used to treat a host of major and minor complaints. If they had been introduced forty years ago, many lives would have been saved.
