Its that time of year again...

The number 7 in the U.K housing market / Homage to Blavatsky

" The number of first time house buyers in the U.K has risen to the highest number for 7 years , the last time this happened was back in 2007....the deposit now required for a mortgage has risen recently to 77% of the annual average wage in the U.K  . This figure has risen today by £7,758....   "

This is a remarkable example of the number 7 being present in the national obsession of housing .I was quite taken a back when I found this , though not really surprised if that makes any sense ?

The Vernal Equinox

Spring is a time of death . As Ive said before , things evaporate . The ever increasing sun light penetrates the minds dark corners , bleaching out any mystery for a while . This is as corrosive as acid . Of course things will regrow next Summer , but for now its all loss...

Having had more than my fair share of 777 number plate viewings at various times in my life , I found these particular links to Madame Blavatskys writings very interesting .



Below , further adventures in the number 7    I like Blavatsky's style of thinking . It rambles just like mine in
the below post !!!

A Return To Form

 

 

Its a deathly still night tonight in Dent . Not a soul stirs , though there maybe a stir of souls tonight . A very low yellow hazy moon is lighting up the diagonal vapour trails in the sky .

All is still .

Sometimes

When I look at my page view stats I sometimes wonder why I continue writing this blog . It took me 2 years before I got my first comment . Yes I have regular readers , not all are public watchers either I guess ! Well thats my take on my stats... No, I have to remind myself that this blog was always a labour of love . It satisfies my need to share this strange path ive been on a while . I write out of passion . If the passion goes from these subjects I will stop writing . Of course my worst confidence wrecker is wondering how many readers really believe what I write as I often view my posts through the eyes of a first time reader, and yes sometimes I dont sound so convincing or likely . Thats why I like to read books about mystical and occult subjects as they remind me what I believe is not so strange a proposition . We all need a confidence booster now and again .

I have just returned from a most beautiful moonlight drive to get some petrol from Killington Services . As I returned through the back lanes the moon light light up the reservoir up in a mass of silver ripples , meanwhile the various islands of pine trees were silhouetted black with further silver moon light water behind them . I guarantee their is a no more beautiful  Motorway Service Station anywhere in England tonight . Like ive said so may times before ; hidden treasure !!!

I have also started reading a rather topical book I ordered a few days before I learnt of the Medium incident . More on that tomorrow night...

Is Blogging Worthwhile ?

"  Everyone interprets everything in his own experience . If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man , he either misunderstands you or worse doesn't understand you at all "    Aliestair Crowley   

This quote came to mind after an altercation with Soul Wreckage . What is the point of trying to change anothers mind about a subject they are passionate about ? By all means we should blog our opinions for others to laugh at / dismiss or mull over , but to aggressively try and rock others from their personal  beliefs is a silly waste of time . Its all subjective !

DO WHAT THOU WHILST SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW ...


I think the worst thing though is the suggestion that I don't live what I preach . I couldn't have lived it more . As Dion Fortune said for a belief or way of life to be valid it must be of worth and use during a crisis . It was . It worked for me in the same way as Christianity does for others . The truth is it is the same . The results come from within , you choose the meaningful props . Bingo !

"  There are states of consciousness which transcend the normal , and when these states prevail , we can discern forms of existence with which we normally have no contact... "   Dion Fortune

Not Big . Not Clever

Naming your new child after a character in the Bible is becoming increasingly popular . I know several people who have gone down this bizarre road . Of course many name their children after favourite films , books or sports personality's , so where is the problem then ? Well funnily I find using Bible names to be close to blasphemy . It just doesnt seem right or respectful . Maybe its reducing the scriptures to a form of entertainment from which to draw baby names from . I feel this is wrong . Stick to choosing names from trivial things like books , films and T.V shows .
    Of course I wonder at peoples motives for choosing Bible names . Are they trying to get some of the " magic " of the Holy Spirit to rub off on them ? They are playing a very dangerous game . Of course they probably dont even think that deeply about this . More's the pity too . I often write about the power of associating ones outlook with Archetypal characters , and of course Occult ideas tell us of the power they posses . Is this what they are trying to achieve ( subconsciously )  when naming their child ? I feel its a little elitist and arrogant using Bible names on your offspring . No I dont like it at all . Who knows what you have unleashed . Images and legends have power . Fact . Be careful what you associate with . There are certain Biblical things I wont name on here, and thats just a casual association , to name my child after such things would have me quaking in my boots !

Water Through A Sieve

Occasionally I go through periods when I find it too hard to decide on an outlook . Im not sure how or in which order to view a sequence of events . Do I group them into order of importance ? Do I put them in chronological order as a time line ? Or do I carefully examine each one and look for flaws and then arrange them as the most certain first , and so on ? This is my problem . Im cursed as I cant hold any idea mentally as the tide of my mind ebbs and flows . Can I reduce situations to one emotion as emotions are often unreliable . Only for a split second do I see the true essence of a situation before the water instantly muddies again . This is how it feels to be me . How do people exist with a " mindset " ?  I cant hold one for a second .

Ive just caught the sound of the Shipping Forecast music on Radio 4 and there is a growing moon . Old times indeed . Sharp cracks and taps in the attic too , hence this little gem popped into my head ....

 The situations in life we find unacceptable , are actually quite normal . This doesnt however mean we should just accept them though .

And Just As I Go To Bed I Find...

"  The most merciful thing in the world , I think , is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents . We live on a placid Island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity , and it was not meant we should voyage far . The sciences , each straining in its own direction , have hitherto harmed us little ; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality , and our frightful position therein , that we shall either go mad from the revelation of flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age .

Eyes Shut Tight

The below photograph is starting to get to me . I will be honest here , I haven't really dealt with it properly yet . Its been nearly 2 years . I daren't look at it to long as there is no rational way round it . A woman in a white shoal , white shoes and a bright pink dress , her arms folded defiantly staring directly at me . Sometimes I tell myself she was posing for someone behind me higher up the hill taking a photograph , but she wasn't there when I took mine . I was tired that night as Id just arrived after a long drive , but I would have seen a woman in bright pink . This photo is nightmarish as it leaves me no choice but accept it is the unseen captured . She or it knew I was coming . Tonight every part of me wants to return .
