A little about Downloading Spirit.

Writing Downloading Spirit has been an amazing and, most of the time, solitary journey sometimes taking me to exhaustion, obsession and epiphany.  I've lost count of the number of times I've re-written and edited it.  Altogether it's taken six years.  From 2005 to 2006, quite a lot of time was spent doing the channelling and "night talk" processes of Downloading Spirit.  Paula Klavins helped me greatly with the research (I guess that's what you could call it) during this time.  Then came the fateful day when Spirit told me to "extrapolate".   That's when the obsession became overwhelming.  Extrapolation continued until I finished the book when I was in the Languedoc in France, June/July this year.

Brian Cook of The Manuscript Appraisal Agency has also been incredibly supportive, encouraging and constructive at different times between 2008 and 2011.  Brian was the person who introduced me to my editor, Leigh Blackmore, who has also been of enormous support.  His assessment of the manuscript gave me insights as to how to structure Downloading Spirit.  It's structure was my greatest challenge.  Editing with Leigh was completed by September, and Downloading Spirit was sent to publishers on the 26th September.  Now (let's be positive here - we all know we create what we think, no believe), I'm waiting to see who takes it up.  As I said in my previous blog, I'm hopeful, optimistic and positive, but very nervous and impatient to learn the outcome.

Now, I guess it's time to give you a brief overview of what it's about.  Believe it or not, I always get tongue-tied if I have to talk about something I've done, so maybe I'd be wise here to just quote what Leigh said when he sent the manuscript for me to the publishers.  He wrote:-

"Downloading Spirit Book One: Babushka is the book on how to understand and access superior levels of consciousness for the rest of us.  And it’s long overdue.


Understanding how consciousness operates, at a metaphysical level, is one of the most important tools able to be used by the human race to further the evolution of Spirit. 


Yet, among the many books about Spirit and spirituality, few have been really geared to help people interested in deepening their understanding of consciousness to develop the fundamental understandings of how DNA, the chakra system and astrology tie in to the picture – until now. Downloading Spirit offers not only the author’s extensive personal experience with communicating with Spirit and with issues of concern to the soul, but an integrated picture of how the disparate elements that make up our Spiritual world fit together. Included are dozens of insights drawn from Janet’s voyages into the spiritual realms and her many years experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, crystal healer and worker with animals. 


Rather than being an academic treatise, Downloading Spirit Book One takes a detailed approach to matters of consciousness and metaphysics which incorporates a wide range of scholarly study into a text which will be accessible to the average reader. 
If you were to give a reader wanting a book on going deeper into their understanding of their own consciousness, and the role of consciousness in the evolution of a more aware and loving humanity, Downloading Spirit would be the one."  


The time is almost upon me when I shall learn if I have fulfilled the task Spirit gave me.  In the beginning, when I asked the question:

“What is the purpose of this book?  What am I supposed to be communicating?”

Spirit answered:

“You’re certainly not to talk about consciousness.  It’s what’s going on behind the facade of consciousness that we want to communicate.  The DNA, genes, consciousness levels, dimensions and their realities, all tie together.  For the average human, none of this makes any sense.  Conveying the information as you have pulled the threads together is what it is about.  We only need the essence, the DNA, the history and how it all happens.  What energises it.  How it works and how it just keeps working, this mechanism for being.  And it works for everything, absolutely everything.  Tie the threads and information together.  Do not use quattrains or arcane language.  We want all people to understand this clearly”.

Writing Downloading Spirit has been one of the most difficult and important things for me to achieve in my life.  Now I've put it out to the Universe.  I pray I have fulfilled the instructions of Spirit satisfactorily. 

Hello again. It's been a while.

Orlando

It's been a while since my last blog.  So many things have been happening.  After I returned from Malaysia, I travelled west to a where my horse Orlando is living for the moment with his  band of beautiful mares.

Horses are very important to me, and guide me on many of my journeys.  In a sense they are my power animal.  Together we travel far.

Owl of the west.

At the magical place where Orlando lives is another who always waits for me.  This is a representative of my bird totem, Owl.

Indeed, wherever I go, I always seem to encounter an owl.
Owl is to me a teacher and a guide.  He first came to me when I was on my farm, Killibinbin.  I had a critically ill horse who needed treatment in the early morning hours for about six months.  Every time I went down to the stables to administer his medicine, Owl would be waiting just outside my home, sitting on a fence post.  Each day he flew down to the stables with me; stayed with me while I medicated the horse, then flew back with me as I walked up the hill.  He'd go back to his fence post and watch me safely into my home.

From that time Owl is always with me.

Even when I cannot be in their presence, these animals are with me in spirit meeting me at night in my dreams.

Not long after my trip west to see Orlando and Owl, I was off to Europe for further research on my book, Downloading Spirit.  I wanted to understand more about the Cathars, and why the Catholic Church mounted the only Crusade in Europe against Christians.  It's fascinating story, but more of this another time.
So I found myself in the Languedoc, in Southern France, visiting places like Carcassonne and Rennes Le Chateau.     During this time I finished Downloading Spirit, Book 1 Babushka.






After 6 years of writing, the book has now been sent to publishers, and I wait, with great anticipation, for the replies.  Even if a publisher does not take it up, I have decided to self publish.  However, I'm optimistic, and my editor agrees with me that it's ready to go out into the world.

I started my blog to help me to promote the book, and tell the world of its existence.
Slowly, I'm learning the skill of networking and now post on Facebook, Twitter and Linked In.   Links will shortly be made with these sites from this blog.
My website is complete and I'm currently setting up the content of the pages.  Once this is complete the Downloading Spirit website will go live.  When this happens, you will see that my website has a category for my blog.  Just click it and it immediately takes you to this site.
That, in a nutshell, is much of what I've been doing since my last post.

I was prompted to write this today because of an email sent to me by a friend.  It's a video of an owl and it seemed to say to me that it's time to strike.  Time to go out to the world.

I'd like to finish today's post by sharing it with you.  I hope you find it as extraordinary and amazing as I did.

Well, bye for the moment.  I'll write again soon.  May Spirit be with you.

Good Vibes/Bad Vibes or Necessary Vibes.

This last week has been spent preparing to travel to Malaysia where I'll be until the end of the month.  I arrived late last Friday.  Consequently, I've been slow to put up this next blog.  The interest is still growing, which I find very encouraging.

I'd like to thank Barbara for breaking the comment drought, and beginning what I hope will be a continuous stream of discussion.  It's obvious that her way of doing energy  is positive.  Her acting purifies her feelings and gives her life integrity.  These experiences are definitely creative, spiritual and positive.

So do we associate everything spiritual only with good vibes, or positive energy, or can it also be evil or bad vibes, negative energy?  Personally I believe the answer is it can be both.  The world we live in is an electro magnetic world, a world of opposites.  For this reason I think the term necessary vibes gives us a different perspective.  We can't do without either good or bad, positive or negative, because both are necessary to keep the system working.  So let's re-think our perception here and consider how we can work creatively with the negative to ensure a positive outcome.  It is a world of opposites and opposites attract.

In Downloading Spirit I've endeavoured to substantiate everything I write with proven science. Babushka, the first Downloading Spirit book is all about this sexual, creative and spiritual energy and how it is used by people.  It tells how people are created by these energies.  Like Deepak said in his video, which I included in the second blog everything is energy.  Just this one word brings us constantly into the scientific world as the above rap video shows.

However, considering energy on a day to day basis, do we use these energies always for good?  Obviously, we don't.  The choice is ours, it just depends at what frequency level we choose to use our energy.  So often we ask:  Is it a good vibe or a bad vibe?  If we learn from our bad vibes, that leads us to make good vibes.  To learn and grow, it's necessary for both to happen.

Let's look at Babushka, who represents us.  As we saw in the first blog, we're all energy.  Each of us is an electro magnetic field (EMF) of seven layers all vibrating at a different frequency.  An EMF contains two opposites of electric and magnetic energy spinning around each other.  It can't exist without them.  Their interaction creates the field.  Since we're an EMF we can't exist without our positive and negative sides interacting either.  This is why I believe that spiritual energy has to be positive and negative.

I've always thought of  evil as live spelt backwards.  It's kind of like blocked energy.  There's no point denying it's there.  That's suppression and that just causes more problems.  But if we acknowledge it, understand it, and work on it, we can release this energy to flow in a positive and creative way.  If we communicate our legitimate needs (not our desires) this also helps.

Looking at it this way gives a different perspective.

Babushka also tells us how Spirit tries to communicate with us.  Whilst we've been learning to self actualise and develop our mental skills and capacity, we've forgotten how to do this.  We've just focused on using the left, logical side of our brain.  It's time to re-activate the right side of our brain, where our imagination, intuition and creativity are found.  It is through this side of our brain that we communicate with Spirit and download information.  This conversation then filters through to the left side of our brain and we process how we can make it happen in our physical world of virtual reality.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these ideas I've put forward.

Hello, this is spirit, with a very little 's', can you hear me. Come in. Over.

Help!!!   We need to take a step on the wild side here.

Many more supporting and interesting emails, for which I'm very grateful, but still no comments on the blog site.

It's the comments I need to get this going.

The emails lead me to ask you to consider this video:-






Like Deepak, I'm asking questions.

What is passion?
What is love?
What is fear?

How do you do energy?

I shall always ask questions, because they lead me to answers.

This is what makes me grow, and moves me beyond my limitations.
If we work together we can move beyond all our limitations.

Move with me.


It is only by working together we shall achieve this.
Just consider what is happening in Australia today, what is happening in our world.

We are individuals, but we are all part of One whole.
It's time to stop fearing each other, and instead love each other and work together to change our world.

Let us overcome these incredible challenges we are all facing by working together, not just in Australia, but in our world.  In the last weeks this has been apparent as the people in Australia, Egypt, Tunisia and the USA have dealt with amazing challenges.  According to the circumstances with which people in these countries have been faced, they have been One.

We are all One, regardless of our differences.

Again I ask ...

How do you do energy?

How do you do Energy?

Well I've been pleasantly surprised by the stats on my blog.  I excluded the number of times I've logged on from registering.  Consequently I know that more than twice the number on my mailing list have viewed Downloading Spirit to date, and there's an interesting number of people from overseas who've logged on, so something is happening out there on the ethers.


You know from the blog that the first book of Downloading Spirit is Babushka, which is about the physical and non physical make up of a human being, and the consciousness of that human being.  Searching Youtube, as I do from time to time, I came across this video ...
  

We are  energy, so:

"How do you do energy?"

The Reason for this Blog.

              
                                                                  


Sitting here, I'm doing the final edit of my book, Downloading Spirit.  Writing began in 2005 - it's been a long journey.
                            

These are some photos to give you an idea of where I live and do my work.  I look out onto my garden and see the King Parrots feeding.

At this moment, I have a sense of adventure.  The next stage is about to begin.

The task now is to get my book published.  Being an unpublished author this is not easy.  Last week I was told by a friend, who's a much published author, that I could find a publisher if I start a blog and get enough followers who are  sufficiently interested in what I'm presenting to decide they want to buy the book.  With nothing to lose, I decided to give it a go.


The pen is mightier that the sword, but before we can put pen to paper we have to have thoughts we want to express.  The most powerful things in our life are our thoughts, we just have to believe in them enough to make them a reality.  We really do create what we think.

Downloading Spirit is the expression of my thoughts over the last five to six years.

Surfing the net the other day I came across this video.  I don't know if it was the blonde curls or the wonderful joy of life Jessica had, but she reminded me of me as a child.

Inspired by Jessica, I felt a surge of optimistic belief and started saying over and over in my head :   I will be published this year. 


Let me begin by sharing the journey of my writing with you.  I'm a qualified counsellor and member of CAPA.  I've also been known to do readings at Psychic Fairs.  I have a foot in the left brained, academic, professional world of proven fact and another in the right brained spiritual, imaginative world of intuitive knowing.

My writing started in 2005 as a result of thinking I might do a Research Masters Degree on paranormal consciousness.  I've always believed that our non physical emotional, mental and spiritual life is just as powerful as our physical life.  They're so much a part of us that we don't separate them from our physical being.  But dreams, out of body and near death experiences, astral travel, past life regressions, Conversations with God, (our Higher Self or conscience for example), voices in our head are not physical but they are normal.  Inevitably they have a big influence on us and we can integrate them very successfully into our healthy, normal physical world so long as we are centred and grounded.  If these things happen as a result of trauma, the results can be very different.  Just as there is good and bad in our physical world, so there is in the non physical worlds.  This multidimensional consciousness can be angelic or demonic and we need to work with it carefully and knowledgeably.  We need to start using all of our brain, not just 10%.  We need to start using our single eye as well as our two eyes.

One of the purposes of Downloading Spirit is to help people do this.  This book is my interpretation of how consciousness works, what is behind it, what it is and how to incorporate this knowledge into our lives.  It also tells a little of my spiritual journey.   It is a Trilogy.  The first book is called Downloading Spirit - Babushka, and it explains my understanding of the complete physical and non physical structure of a human being.  Much of it was downloaded to me by Spirit between 2005 and 2007 when I was working with a psychic friend.  She would channel and I'd do Night Talk.  The information that came through deals with DNA, our Brains, our Chakras, our Aura and its layers, our imaginary friends as we called them as children.  It also talks about how Astrology, used as it is meant to be used, can give us the road map to help us manage our lives.

The second book is called Downloading Spirit - Gaia, and this deals with our planet Earth, our Solar System and our relationship with them.  It offers my interpretation and understanding of ancient esoteric knowledge such as the Tao and the Tree of Life and relates these things to what today we call Quantum Physics and Astrophysics.

The third book will be the handbook for the workshops that will be conducted when the writing is done.  This is called Downloading Spirit - Thunderwand Magic.

Well  my two Pug dogs are letting me know, in no uncertain terms, that it's time for their walk.  It's probably a good time for a break, anyway.

Catch you again soon.
