Truth and Exchange

Blondy My visit to a mysticism trade fair was quite some time ago – somehow I was (or am?) a little out of ideas in this regard… anyway, here’s a little slagging exchage of the clairvoyant truth, or something like that. (Note that all quotations are my translations from the German originals.)

Did you ever ask yourself:

“Clairvoyance – what is that?”

Thus also the title of a leaflet that was available at the fair. The answer:

Clairvoyance is having the picture that corresponds to the truth!

Pictures from the past, the present and the future, for oneself and also for others.

And what’s convenient about that: The clairvoyants define their own truth! And if that wasn’t enough: They also paint their own pictures of it for themselves (and their customers)! I really got the wrong job…

But how to reach truth? Who can show the way? Is it the…

“Gate of Love”?

Subtitle: “Love – Light – Unity”. It continues (in the web):

You don’t need to become anything – because you are everything.
You don’t need to search anything – because you have everything.
You are what you are: EVERYTHING

But what is the lady trying to sell, then? Isn’t that a little counterproductive?

I accompany you full of love in getting conscious about your eternal truth:
Everything is forever perfect in you.

Oh, company. Won’t be a typical escort service, I guess… But anyway, why accompany me if I’m everything already anyway and don’t need to find anything, got no path I must go? Hence don’t need a sign-post:

Joy be your sign-post.

jumping in joy The joy of having found yet another escape route from reality? The joy of the provider to have convinced another customer and/or see his/her bank account grow bigger?

The sign-post saying is from the leaflet, by the way, which shows such sayings for several categories of offers along with their descriptions which I left out here.

Aura reading and cleansing … If your light fills the entire room, nothing can manipulate you.

But somehow those mysticism providers always find a shadowy corner.

Rainbow massage … Let yourself be touched inside, so you will be carried by the light of love.

Hey, that sounds interesting. But am I the only one who sees double meanings here – I mean, this sentence at a massage, that really makes one think about, erm, services where the name “massage studio” is just pretextual, doesn’t it?

Systematic constellations … Everything is connected with everything, love is the connecting power.

Or everything is gone from the bank account, money is the disappearing power.

Channeled meditation evening … The new earth blossoms from the dreams of your heart.

Rather in than from the dreams – now in winter, neither on old nor on new earth will be any blossoms.

Energetic cleansing and clearing of home and working place

I really don’t need that one, I can turn off my electric energy myself.

A power place is a place where love, beauty and harmony left their traces.
(Distance cleansing also possible)

And a fighting place is a place where hate, beating and harming left their traces. (Just cleansing at a distance will be hard.) But what does this have to do with my being EVERYTHING already? And if I’m EVERYTHING already, then I’m the following, too:

“Union of male and female – The unity in human-being”

Either it’s the (unintentional?) ambiguities that won’t stop here (like this one on one of the cheap colored slips that were inside the professional-looking leaflet), or it’s just my always dirty mind. But no, it’s supposed to be “fulfilling for couples and singles alike”, and “there will be no sexual acts since it’s about an inner working”. Aawwwww…

This seminar is inspired by Jesus and Mary Magdalene who speak and work through me. Jesus and Mary Magdalene are light-beings who have completed this union of male and female.

Jesus and women Oh, so we’re a self-proclaimed prophet or channel for divine powers now, too. Sure, don’t miss a thing. And what does the old Bavarian feller in Rome think about that? Even if the girl from Magdala doesn’t have the bad reputation she had in earlier times – but a being of light?? Hmm, could the Vatican – and all churches, for that matter – save on energy costs for lighting if this light-being thing gets around? Just put up a few Jesus and Magdalene statues, they glow on their own!

(Or did I misunderstand something here?)

But it’s not just light and man+woman – we need some healing, too, of course:

“Healing power of the Divine – How Jesus was working”

In this seminar, we receive inductions into the healing power from the fount of unity.

What did these providers do when the DDR (East Germany) still existed, i.e. before the German reunification, anyway?

He will speak and work through me in multiple meditations and inductions, when the energy of the healing power will come alive in you. […]
Your healing is the acknowledgment of the truth!

Oh, yes, the beloved truth. And if someone gets well after such a meditation evening, but not because of it? What’s the truth then? Ah, forget it, in those cricles nobody will regard subtleties like this.

Now the quiz at the end: What do you call the costs and seminar fees if it is to sound more selfless? Exactly:

“Exchange”

E.g. an exchange of 30/60/90€ for 30/60/90 minutes of massage or session, 150€ for a weekend seminar – which of course “will be enhanced more and more over several weekends” – or just only 15€ for an introductory meditation evening with “healing circle”. Actually, “exchange” is quite a good term for it – not just from the provider’s point of view who is soooooo generous and wants to enrich us that much spiritually –, because folks will exchange a part of his or her sanity and reason for yet another phantasy.

And for mystic phantasies, it seems, the sky’s the limit…

“No”

From the classsified ad section “miscellaneous” of the Bayerischen Taferl, one of the local weekly ad newspapers, not the first time source for odd things:

Meditation im Advent ein Thema für Dich? Tel. ...
Translation: Meditation in advent time a topic for you? Phone…

I considered calling for fun, saying “No” and hang up immediately – then I saw this one, too, in the same block of about 40 ads:

Familienaufstellung etwas anders! tel. ...
Familiy Constellations with a difference!

To this, my reply would be “No thanks, don’t want your nonsense“.

There were even more such ads scattered around this block with the same phone number (didn’t find a web site for these offers, by the way):

Engel - ein Thema für Dich? Tel. ...
Angels – a topic for you?

So we’re back at the simple “no”. At least when considering how this question is meant, since it actually is a topic since I’m writing about it here.

I almost missed this one (actually the second of these), showing the lady’s versatility:

Weihnachtsgeschenke selbstgemacht, z.B. Bären u. Engel stricken. Tel. ...
Self-made christmas presents, e.g. knitting bears and angels

These come in handy – in German, that is, ’cause there’s the proverb of “tying a bear onto someone” = to hoax someone, which she’s probably gonna do for the other things she’s offering…

“Uri Geller live – Ufos & Aliens” – Report, opinion…

…criticism, grumbling, call it what you want. At any rate, here I’m writing about today’s show “Uri Geller live – Ufos & Aliens – Das unglaubliche Live-Experiment” (“The incredible live experiment”) on ProSieben (Germany).

You can even have your own message sent into space – but if you’re hoping for a real reply, you’re hoping in vain, the distances are just too long, and if there actually are intelligent beings “out there”, they’d have to understand the messages in the first place. No matter how pretentious the chief spoon fiddler’s talk is (my translation):

“Anything can happen”, Uri Geller says. He, too, has a personal message for the aliens: “We open our hearts and out thoughts for you. We strongly believe that you are somewhere out there. Please show yourselves in the night of November 15. The people will look out their windows and wait for your signal.”

Be careful, Uri, when the people look out the windows, they miss the commercials, and ProSieben won’t like that!

Guests

  • Mysticism eccentric Nina Hagen – present despite her recent virus illnes.
  • Ancient astronaut dreamer Erich von Däniken.
  • “The Next Uri Geller” (Germany) winner Vincent Raven.
  • “A man and a woman who, according to their own statement, first met in a spaceship. Today they are a couple and will be asked about their experiences with aliens during the show under hypnosis.” Oh dear.
  • By telephone from the USA: Edgar Mitchell – Apollo 14 astronaut and ufo believer. Note that the former is no basis of a higher credibility of the latter.
  • Host will be the same as for “The Next Uri Geller”: Stefan Gödde.
Beginning

What did ali comment at Florian’s live blogging (German) who’d also have liked to read along (translated):

But I’m already appointed for a fondue. Lots of cheese, too, but better.

Well then bon appetit – which I also wish my readers with this nice mess. After commercials with aliens in them in talk talk talk for accomodation, they’re starting overly punctual with Gödde’s and Geller’s prerecorded introduction and the Ukrainian radiotelescope, Geller promises that some of us will receive a reply, and the raven guy will take care of the soul contact – but somehow I’m missing the warning message “Don’t try this at home!” from the magic show…

A pale head with alien face tattoo on its back was briefly seen, then Gödde alredy starts with a lie by saying there will be messages sent into space for the first time – more respectable people have done so already via radio and space probes as well as more or less intentional all radio and TV stations for a long time.

But first a little film as introduction with some “c-lebrities” and Geller himself saying a few sentences. Geller says we’d deserve a true answer. From him? Impossible. Impossible in a different sense, too, the amount of applause he gets when entering the stage and reporting about his large ball of light as a child. The biggest experiment of his life is what is supposed to happen tonight – I rather think that was the test whether his cheap spoon trick would bring him success back then – and us viewers are to get pen and paper ready.

Switch to the Deep Space Center in Evpatoria/Ukraine, brief introduction of the radiotelescope – no money left for 16:9 in the recording, apparently, the presenter colleague Daniel Aminati looked quite fat. Direction of the ‘scope will be the star Hip 4872, 310 trillion kilometers away from us (32.8 lightyears, in the area of the Cassiopeia constellation). And the speed of light is “absolute madness” for him.
