Life on this planet: Parallel Universes

The concept of the parallel universes, that is being other universes aside from the one we presently occupy. This concept holds that each one of us exists also in these parallel universes but our lives in those universes are different to our life in this current universe. For example in this current universe my parents divorced near age 5 and I endured 8 years of poverty and abuse, however in one parallel universe, my parents never divorced and I led a much more privileged childhood free from abuse. It is said that there are an infinite number of parallel universes as there are an infinite number of possibilities of how our lives turns out.

These parallel universes are not in far off locations but are actually immediately adjacent. That is, if we can figure out how to do so, we could literally just step through the veil from our current universe to any one of the parallel universes from the comfort of our own homes. No need for space travel nor Star Trek style warp travel. Some speculate this is what happens during our dreams.

Some more exotic theories holds that indeed some people do spontaneously find themselves physically in a parallel universe. I wonder if that is what happened to me.

In a current universe the Magpies loses nearly every match, they may be able to beat Fremantle or some other low team, but for the most part they would get beaten, such us getting beaten by Sydney. However in a parallel universe, the Magpies does a lot better and they win a lot more matches, even beating teams like Sydney!!!!! Question is, did I spontaneously jump into a parallel universe on Friday? Where the Magpies manages to beat Sydney by a single point, a very unexpected victory, well unexpected in a previous universe anyway!!!!!!

OK more about football in the parallel universes when I get my tipping results.

Now I am on a very short vacation. I am off work all this week up to Eostre aka Easter, returning back to work a very short time later being next Tuesday. If not having to conserve vacation time for my Peru trip I would have taken longer. But being down to just three weeks of vacation time I have to be careful on conserving vacation time!!!!

This weekend, being Eostre aka Easter weekend I will be at Glory Camp down in Serpentine, an energy vortex spot. Afterall I am called to the energy vortex spots around the world. Not all of them are in far away places like America, England and Peru. There are some a lot closer to home base, such as Serpentine, Merredin, Margaret River and Mt Eliza.

I am attending the camp as a day visitor with no catering over the four days, that is, going back home to my warm bed each night, and not having any meals at the camp. Me with my Virgoan energies I work out the financial benefits of going as a day visitor as opposed to staying on site and having all my meals provided, aside from the physical benefits of not being cramped in 8-bed dormitories!!! Also I never need three meals per day, I get by with just one main meal with perhaps a smaller 2nd meal if particularly active. So even with the petrol used for the 45 minutes drive to the site each day, my total costs including takeout meals from nearby Byford or Jarrahdale, works out to be just under half of the full camp fees. This among other things would help with my Peru savings plan. However each day will be full, especially the Saturday and Sunday, where I would need to leave my abode around 8-ish in the morning, and with the evening session probably not finishing until 10-ish or so, it be near midnight by the time I get home. So my usual blog-writing time will be pushed back until after the camp, realising that I am due back at work immediately the next day!!!

Speaking of my Virgoan Peru savings plan, thanks to my Virgoan planning abilities, sacrifices, and a miracle or two, I now have the funds for the air ticket and the Lake Titcana tour. There are several tours that one can take in Peru. Of course given an absolute maximum of just three weeks due to vacation time constraints, my options are limited. However, Lake Titicana is a priority, being a very sacred lake to the natives, full of ancient legends, and being the only other place on this planet where the two Dragon Lines crosses over. Bali is the other spot where these two intense energy ley lines crosses. So my next target is the trek up to the famous Macchu Picchu. Oh yes we all know Macchu Picchu even if not aware of the name itself. It is perhaps one of the most famous of the ancient ruins, the mysterious ancient ruins high up in the mountains of Peru. If you ever seen or read a National Geographic article or documentary on South America, it's almost 100% guarantee you will have seen a picture of Macchu Picchu. Or just Google "Peru" and one of the first pixs on the first page will be of Macchu Picchu, it's as closely associated with Peru as the Sydney Harbour Bridge is with Australia!! It is another high energy vortex spot, being on one of the Dragon Lines. And being an intrepid soul that I am, I intend going on the famous hiking trek up to Macchu Picchu over four days. All of the creature comforts such as meals, tents, etc are supplied, plus someone to take my luggage, so all I need to do is for my very intrepid self to just turn up!! It's quite expensive but still within my budget and the reach of my savings plan.

This week is Passover week, one of the reasons why I am taking time off work. Passover usually coincides with Eostre aka Easter. A major aspect of Passover is our tradition to remove from our living space foods containing raising agents such as yeast, baking soda, etc, thus the breads, cakes, cookies, etc, and abstaining from such foods for the entire week of Passover. This tradition stems from the Jews escape from Egypt after being set free from slavery. They needed to get out of Egypt quickly so they didn't have time to properly bake their breads, they had to make do with flat cakes of "unleavened bread" that is being without the yeast that was used back then to make bread. Nowadays the closest equivalence to those pieces of unleavened bread are the matza slices that you always see in the Jewish aisles of supermarkets, so we eat matza instead of bread during Passover.

Now my weekly card readings........

My cards for this very intense new week with four planets in retrograde...

- XII - The Hanged Man - Time - Learning from the past while planning for the future. Setting aside worry and preconceived ideas. Experiencing the present moment without reference to the past or future. Letting go of ego and trusting the flow of the universe. Fully enjoying life in present time.

- 7 of Wands - Defense - An attack on reputation, ideas or actions that can be reputed by honest and open defense. Not backing down when right or being intimidated. Defending my viewpoints in the face of gossip.

- 40 - Sacred Fool - The rebel, thwarting convention and speaking the truth without restraint. Inspired and passionate about what one can share with the world. Moving beyond self imposed conventions. Staying on the path regardless of how radical or left field it is.

Summary - Card XII of the Tarot VERY appropriate for this week with four planets being in retrograde, being also Passover week. The themes very definitely learning from our past so to plan for the future. Needing to learn to live in the present. Letting go of ego, which is a Passover theme, the tradition of removing "leaven" from our homes which is symbolised as ego. Needing to trust in the flow of the universe despite four retrograding planets. All things work together for good to those who are fulfilling their calling.

The second Tarot could be linked to the bond fiasco particularly if their is mail from the landlord waiting for me in my PO Box. In any case I won't be dealing with it until after Passover. The card could also be linked with the Oracle, the same card as was drawn last week!! The Sacred Fool. With planning to attend Glory Camp later this week, a Christian event, I may find myself in the position of needing to defend my viewpoints, not necessarily physically with others, but more of an inner challenge. Being weird, eccentric, totally left field. And this is exactly what I am. I am a Pagan, a Witch, I work with both light and darkness, I associate with Christian churches and I observe Jewish holidays. I don't fit into any one box. The message is, embrace my weirdness, to absolutely own it, and see what I can offer to this world.

-----------------------------------------

Well it turned out there was no mail from the landlord which makes it two weeks since he would have received my letter. However being an 8-page letter where I had gone into details every point of issue, basically why I am refusing to pay up on these issues, it is going to take him a while to respond. Indeed I probably have him stumped, he now be realising that I am a lot more determined than he thought!! It makes me wonder what his response will be. Surely he be out of his delusion by now, and it should be obvious that he is not going to get any money out of me!!!! He has no leg to stand on for the vast majority of the issues. Anyway I am in no hurry, my life goes on and I prefer putting my energies into my other pursuits.

Even in this parallel universe where the Magpies wins more often, I still have my quirky sense of humor.......

My problem is I am often one of the oldest at most spiritual gatherings, my very old age besets me.....
