Reality Is Just An Opinion
Lando Willand, a lost young man was about to top himself. Everything was going wrong in his life. Just as he was about to leap off suicide bridge, a being (maybe an angel, maybe a barefoot doctor) grabbed his arm. Stop young fella, reality as you experience it (feel, see, smell it, etc.), is an illusion, a trick of the light. Reality is merely a series of opinions you hold. Change your opinions and you change the very nature and structure of reality itself.
“Thats all well and good, but its other people that fuck me up”, replied Lando. You can change the way other people treat you, replied the being. “How?”, asked the bewildered Lando.
Clarify your vision, then release the picture (give it to Tao), then empty yourself of desire and be still inside (about it). That's the wayward Taoist approach, replied the kindly being. Lando heard this but jumped anyway (stupid sod). If you want to make a change in your life, try this: [1] as you breathe in, gather up the essence of all the doubt, anxiety, worry and negativity within you. [2] as you breathe out, expel that shit from yourself. [3] as you breathe in, let in new good which will appear for you right now in an appropriate mix of abundance, colour and light.
Barefoot doctor's taoist magic
Lango Faldo had no money. he believed it a virtue to be poor. He believed there was only a finite supply of wealth and that by him having some, he'd be depriving someone else. So he lived alone in a darkened room being miserable. One day in a dream, he was visited by a being, maybe a spirit, maybe just a barefoot doctor, who whispered, "You've got it all wrong buddy. There's nothing virtuous about poverty. Poverty sucks. There is an infinite supply of wealth - money is only energy, hence why it's called currency - it flows like a river through society. All you have to do is divert that flow your way."
"How?", asked Lango, suddenly getting interested. "Picture yourself sitting up against your favourite tree. Look up and you notice the leaves are banknotes. As you watch, the leaves start dropping on the ground all around you. Scoop up a few grand and put it in your pocket. Come back every day - the supply is inexhaustible. Do this for a week and before you know it you'll be rich, young man"
Lango Faldo woke up, and remembering, did the money tree visualisation,
and would you believe, three days later, an old woman he'd been kind to once,
left him 23 million in her will. Now Lango Faldo lives in the lap of luxury
in a big house on the hill and has become a total arsehole .(Well you can't
win 'em all.) Try the money tree visualisation for yourself, just don't be
an asshole when it works.

More Taoist Magic
Lango Faldo did the money tree visualisation, it worked, he moved into the mansion on the hill but unfortunately became an asshole. His new-found friends were merely fair-weather and his old friends could no longer relate. He felt a gnawing void within that no amount of alcohol, drugs, sex and partying could assuage. When Dallalia Wilkins, the new-age con artiste walked into his life he was ripe for the picking. By investing his money in her pyramid sales scheme, he'd once again find meaning in his life, she said.
Seven months later found him sleeping rough and broken near Charing Cross, London. One night a being (maybe an angel, maybe a barefoot doctor), stopped and bunged him a euro. "It's all just the play of yin and yang" he said.
In that moment Lango became enlightened. He realised it was love that makes the world go round, not money. He started wandering, spreading the word, amassing many followers. People started writing about him, posting emails about him far and wide, he got into running workshops on how to love each other, and now he's coining it in. But what of Dallalia? To find out how this strange, possibly true story goes, stand by for the next circular. Oh look here it comes now...... But 1st!
A Top Barefoot Doc Tip:
If you want to make magic in your life like Lando, visualise a stream of crimson light emanating from your chest and enveloping the world with love.
What goes around..
Dallalia Wilkins, new age con artiste, took Lango Faldo for everything he had with her crooked pyramid sales venture, developed a vicious coke habit and ended up in a rehabilitation clinic.
One night, in a dream, she was visited by a being (maybe an angel, maybe a barefoot doctor), who said, "Listen, honey, if you go around conning people, you'll delude your life of authenticity. Without that, it doesn't matter how much money or how many guys you have, you'll always be tormented. Use the talent you have for gaining peoples' confidence to heal them instead".
"But how?," she asked.
All she remembered then was a blinding flash of light enter through the back of her head which jolted her awake.
Three years later, the walls of her treatment room lined with certificates for crystal healing, aromatherapy and energy pulsing, her hands once moisturised and manicured, now those of an honest woman, she got up to answer the door. Lango Faldo, now a world famous spiritual teacher, thought he'd mastered his anger, thought he'd just walk in and say thank you for the lesson that had eventually led to his genuinely good fortune, thought he'd be filled with enlightened compassion,thought he' d be symply forgive her.
But one look at that face, something inside him snapped, and he bopped her one on the nose. Anger arises from fire in the liver. If you want to handle your anger about someone take a deep breath and make the sound sssshhhhhhhh. See your liver cooling down. Then in your mind/heart say to that person, "I forgive you. I no longer seek revenge. Thank you."

There is sometimes confusion between what differentiates a psychic, a clairvoyant and a medium. A psychic uses their clairvoyant ability to ‘see’ the past, between what differentiates a psychic, a clairvoyant and a medium. A psychic uses their clairvoyant abilityto ‘see’ the past, the present and the future. They are confined tothe material realm, sticking to tarot reading, crystal balls, runes and the like. Whereas a medium, as well as seeing the past present and future, and being able to give higher guidance, also ‘sees’ and ‘hears’ the so-called dead.
This suggests that the‘dead’ retain both the good and bad points of their memory, intelligence and personality.Medium-ship also provides evidence that we are all spiritual beings in physical bodies, living in a very material, physical world. The spiritual implications of medium-ship suggestsevidence of an afterlife, and no matter what one’s status, race or religion, humankind is all linked together in one vast spiritual family. Although sceptics argue there is no ‘scientific’ proof, psychic phenomena and medium-ship has been prevalent throughout history in many different cultures. Gifted individuals have always been able to ‘see’ the dead, experience premonitions, report visions and heal the sick. Love is the key factor here. The ‘dead’ are said to only return because of ties of love, friendship and affection.
When getting a reading from a spiritualist medium, thoughts and messages are passed from the world of spirit, via the medium to the loved one - the receiver. The messages are usually from passed-on family members, close friends, or your own spirit guides and helpers. They are words of guidance to help keep you on the correct path and to remind you there is a constant love and support from the spirit realm. Occasionally the information received means nothing at the time, but usually unfolds to have profound meaning in the following weeks or months, which sometimes can be quite a shock. It is left up to the individual if they want to believe it or not, but an open mind can create quantum leaps on the spiritual path if one can let in the gifts from the spirit realm.
Spiritualists are proud that the path they lead shows that survival in a higher, freer, brighter world can be a reality for all. It is their philosophy that ‘there is no sting in death’ and that ’all power is the power of spirit’. (Ed’s Note: Why not check out (or ask a DJ friend to dig out at a party) Ollie (Space Tribe) Wisdom’s track (We are all connected in the) “Great Circle Of Life” for a psychedelic/ musical stimulation of a similar nature without necessarily having to leave the energy of a happening (andpreferably outdoor) dancefloor.
The dedicated spiritualist’s way of life is encased in so much love, compassion and understanding that there is absolutely no need for fear.
Next Issue - the Hopi Indian Prophecy...... here’s some food for thought.....
‘Powaqatsi’ - A Hopi Indianadage on capitalism.
If the world were a global village of 100 people, 70 of them would be unable to read, and only 1 would have a college education. Over 50 would be suffering from mal-nutrition, & over 80 would live in what we call sub-standard housing. If the world were a global village of 100 residents, 6 of them would be Americans. These 6 would have half the village’s entire income; and the other 94 would exist on the other half. How would the healthy 6 live ‘in peace’ with their neighbours? Surely they would be driven to arm themselves against the other 94...perhaps even to spend, as we do, more per person on military defence than the total per person income of the others.
