Blog Appreciation Day—“I of my own knowledge…”
I think when something’s this good you have to share it with the world.
Frank DeMarco’s blog, "I of my own knowledge..." is insightful and informative. Frank has conversations with the guys upstairs about connections, communication, channelling, healing, and guidance.
He works with an eclectic cast of after life beings including Hemmingway and C.G Jung. The main theme of Frank’s writing is human potential and guidance. He’s a writer and an editor and I believe he has an extraordinary gift. Frank’s writing is modest and honest. His work reinforces the guidance I receive from spirit. His prose is academic and his speech is enquiring, precise and evidence driven. He allows the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Spirit/God/consciousness, the guys upstairs have chosen the right man for the job.
You can find Frank here.
We are more than our society tells us we are. We have more possibilities within us, and a richer future than most dare dream. — Frank DeMarco

Jesus on Free From the Burden of Beauty
I mentioned this dialogue here. At the time I’d read two essays from young women about their lack of self esteem in high school. As a man and a father of girls I felt responsible. I’ve no doubt that my behaviour and or decisions I’ve made have contributed to undermining a girls/woman’s self esteem.
Aside from the personal responsibility it saddens me that teenage girls/boys struggle with identity and self worth. I don’t have an answer. Ninety percent of my clients are women and it’s rare to find someone who is happy with their body. The energy of healing sees everything as it is and not what we believe it to be. Everyone is beautiful.
When I work with spirit I don’t always have to ask a question. They know what I’ve been pondering. This is Jesus’ thoughts on the struggle with beauty. Jesus mentioned women because I was thinking about my daughters, but I believe his message is for everyone.
Women will never be free from the burden of beauty until they stop comparing themselves with each other. In this world there is the opportunity to be whatever you desire. Physical beauty is perception and conditioning and nothing more than an illusion. If you had no sight beauty would become obsolete. If you had no mirror or desire to groom you would be freed from self judgement.
In time you would see your neighbours as they are and not how they compare to you. Rid of the need and compulsion to compare, your bodies and features, for the first time, will be as they’ve been designed to be. A vessel for life, relaxed and spirited, rather than tense and posed.
Vanity and envy are cruel masters. See the strong and wise as examples of the potential that resides within all of us, but don’t overlook the greater potential of compassion and joy. Honour the truth.
Identify the gifts that you possess and don’t let apathy and habit dictate lack of contentment. You measure your worth on the proportions of your body, but resist healthy balance. You consume too much and excess has become a constant in your lives and not a seasonal blessing.
Jesus’ forceful delivery shocked me a little. I’d love to hear from you. How did this make you feel?

Problem underwear? Yes, we can fix that.
I’m busy revising my manuscript, book keeping for my tax agent and finalising some icky stuff. I’m also heading to the Gold Coast, Qld, for two days of healing, so I have to be brief.
My six year old son, who is already a great footy (rugby league) player, and I were watching television when the libra wonder man ad came on.
“I know what those are for dad. They stop girls getting wedgies.”
“Yes they do.”
Kids are great!
I’ll be back Monday. Have a great ANZAC weekend. Drive safe, play safe and tell your kids you love them. Peace, Simon.

You Can Almost Touch the Sky
I’m busy revising my wip, query letter and proposal. I want to be finished by the end of the month so I can’t stay long. I’ve left some photos on the table, so please, make a cup of tea and stay for a while.
If you travel to New Zealand I recommend visiting the Tongariro National Park, New Zealand’s first national park and a dual World Heritage area. The parks most striking topographical features are the central North Island volcanoes: Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Tongariro.

Scrappy, looking across Lake Taupo towards Tongariro National Park.
From the left: Mt Tongariro, Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu hiding in the clouds.
Mt Tongariro is the lowest of the three at 1,968 metres.
Mt Ngauruhoe at 2,291 metres is an almost symmetrical cone and at 2500 years old is the youngest of the three volcanoes.
Mt Ruapehu is New Zealand’s most accessible live volcano and at 2,797 metres is the highest mountain in the North Island. In the winter this landscape is snow covered. I visited in my late teens and caught a snowball with my eye.

Intention and Attention
How we think and what we focus on is important, not only for ourselves, but for the world.
Is there a direct link between intention and the behaviour of the world? - Dr Dean Radin
Maybe intention is only a piece of the puzzle, and attention is also important. - Dr Dean Radin

Evolving Beings and The Simplicity of Healing
Hi everybody. I’ve had the opportunity to guest post here http://evolvingbeings.com/. It’s a beautiful community filled with magical people. If you visit, take your shoes off, introduce yourself, and enjoy the enlightening stories.
I like meeting people and I love talking about my work, but I still hesitate when people ask me what I do for a living.
“I’m a healer.”
“Oh?”
“I place my hands on people and they become well.”
I’ve become accustomed to the blank stares and the polite changes of conversation, and I usually have to follow up with, “but not all the time.” It comforts people if I’m not successful. It keeps the balance. It’s what we’ve come to expect from illness and injury. (continue reading here)

Top 5 Responses to Soul Healing
Clients experience varied physical and emotional responses during healing. These are the most common.
• Sleep state. It’s rare for clients not to relax enough to fall asleep. They’re often unaware of this until they wake. They describe hearing the music, but not being able to feel their body, and are surprised when I tell them they’ve been twitching and snoring.
• Puff breathing. Every client who falls asleep breathes the same way. When they exhale their lips pop open and air is expelled in a rush. The duration and time between puffs varies, but everyone seems to do it.
• Crying. The majority of clients cry at some time during the healing. Some people cry silently, others sob uncontrollably. Often they don’t know why they’re crying, they just need to.
• Spasmodic twitching and movements. The most common is rapid eye movement and head shaking.
• Purring. This is the phrase I use to describe the sensual response many clients experience on the table. I will write a separate post for this response.
Do you have a question or a healing experience to share?
Talk soon, Simon.

Book review: Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
When I heal I’m a shape shifter: I’ve soared with angels, died with soldiers, walked in the energy of a thousand souls, and I’ve run with wolves.
***
In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love -- the light and the dark, the warm and the cold -- in a way you will never forget.
Comes out in stores everywhere July 20th. Pre-order here.
***
I think sequels are tough; the number two spot in a series is always under pressure, especially when the first book has spent an arctic day on the best seller list. I never doubted that Stiefvater would deliver another best seller, but I wasn’t expecting to stay up all night like a teenager txting ‘hi girlfriends’ to her entire contact list.
I woke up cuddling my pillow and lying suspiciously in the I-want-my-blanky position. Linger is on the floor with my heart, some I wanna-bes but never quite made its, and the t-shirt I used to wipe my tears.
Stiefvater’s strength is in her characterisation. You cannot help but emphasise with, be annoyed by, or fall in love with all her characters. I’m not sure if I want to be Sam or have the chance to groom him with my tongue.
The prose is hauntingly familiar. These are the things I felt growing up: the dreams, the fears, and the mistakes I have made as a teen and a parent. There were lines that hurt me and others that reminded me to dream. I believed Stiefvater had written this just for me. How did she know what to say?
The attention to detail and scene building is astounding, and all my senses were stimulated. If this was a movie, nail clippings would have won best supporting scene stealer. I usually always know the ending of a book, but not this time. I’m sorry loyal fans, but you’ll get no spoilers from me. I’d advise reading Shiver before you tackle Linger. Drop the kids off at your sisters, lock yourself in the bedroom, snack food, hydrate, and have a lover on standby.
Disclaimer thingy: A large corporation hasn’t sponsored me, there’s not a new Land Cruiser in my driveway, and a resident of the middle of nowhere in Virginia didn’t send me preservative free cookies. I did win an ARC of Linger, in an all you have to do is comment competition, and every time I hear the phrase, ‘follow your dreams,’ I cry.
“Come on Linger it’s bedtime.”
“I don’t want to go back on the book shelf.”
“Oh?”
“I don’t want to sleep beside the Carrie Ryan. She bites.”
“Okay. I’ll put the Carrie Ryan with the Christine Feehan’s.”
“Thank you. You smell good tonight.”
“Did I leave you in front of the air conditioner again?”
“...”
“You know those un-proofed imperfections are kind of sexy.”
“...”
“I love you Linger.”

Is it being in love that offends you, or the desire of lovers?—Ouch!
I have these episodes which I describe as conversation with God moments. I’m not sure how else to describe them. I can have Gegu and Jesus with me, or any number of teachers, and I will hear only one voice. In this instance their knowledge merges and they teach me together. And then there’s the voice. It seems to come from within but it also surrounds me. I have a sense of direction when I’m communicating with spirit, but with the voice I am the conversation.
This excerpt dropped into a conversation I was having with Jesus, about beauty and self esteem, last November. I’ll post that soon. I’m not sure the question was mine, or whether the voice asked the question, but I felt like I was reprimanded for asking.
For a start I’d rather not label what one person is, or is not. The question needs to be rephrased. What you suppress you create. The extreme example of this is the secular abuse in the Catholic Church. Abstinence is to go against your body’s ultimate expression of joy.
In the throes of orgasm you are free from self criticism and all partners are beautiful. You forget your bias. If both partners are willing you no longer need the illusion of love. The moment surpasses all emotion. It is after that you lose confidence: I’m too fat, too old, and what you have been raised to feel overwhelms you.
To label a person as being something is to say they’re not, what? Already you’ve isolated the person. They’re not gay. They live beside you. They have the same potential that resides within you all.
To love unconditionally is to live without fear. Two men who are lovers are no different than two people who are lovers. Is it being in love that offends you, or the desire of lovers?
If you have a question for God, Bruce Almighty, or alternate world Simon, I’ll ask Him/me/the cat. I’d like to be able to tell you I know what is happening, that God is speaking to me, but I don’t know for sure. Gegu smiles and tells me to have faith.
