Quoting: Green Witch You get the sum of what you believe and expect, be it good or bad. Even the act of observing is creation. When you focus your attention upon things, you call them into your experience. You create and manifest constantly. You can't not create. The vast majority of people do so by default, meaning that they don't consciously mind their thoughts and they exist on a roller coaster of high and low vibration. That is why manifestation seems hit and miss. Those people are at the mercy of their surroundings. They have handed control to others by default. The person who is consciously creating is more powerful than 1 million who are not. And you create by guiding your thoughts, which in turn guides your emotional state. Nothing can come into your experience unless you allow it. You do have control and you are not at the mercy of others. Fix your thinking and the rest will remove itself from your experience.

Still, so many refuse to learn from past. It amazes me that there is a mindset out there that we should stop looking at the past. Sacrifice is interesting in that way. I find it especially ludicrous to sacrifice someone else, something else, something that isn't yours in seeking to gain. Take from someone in order to 'gain' for yourself. Just theft built upon theft. Everything has a price, including theft. This is of course quite different to offering a gift. The word wisdom is always funny to me. I've been called wise, told things like 'yeah but you have wisdom'. I know there are quotes from far 'wiser' people than me regarding this but; I'm just a fool who stepped outside the box, experienced a strange and dangerous new world and started thinking on what I observed.

Too bad Glax got all butt hurt and ran off. He’d have made a good offering. . Might be right... what sort of gift does Superaven like? Also, remember we already had roast spiderpig. 'Twas a little past the mid of year, When sipping drink I'd choke and sputter. I spied above me creature dark, and down at me did sneer, Somewhat like a spider this, but mostly fat and flubber. "Ious Nox Ob"; it spat a spell, with a grin lacking veneer, Toxic spray sent squirting from it's horrid little trotter. "Ah!" I cried and Z came running wielding knife and spear, "Where's the Witch!?" I cried again, "Fuck, we really need 'er". And out from shadow G-Dub stepped and cast illusion clear: "Piggy, wiggy on the ceiling - look a sow, go get her!", Tricked, this beast, it took the bait - we waited til 'twas near, Then stab and slash, we cut it up but "shh"; no need to blubber. Quick it was - not a gruesome kill - there is no need for fear, This strange odd thing it now was gone, but no it didn't suffer. As Z did stab it turned about, and I slit from ear to ear, It's steaming blood poured rapid out, filling up the gutter. The squeal was short, then gurgle, pop - never again to jeer, We cleaned him out and the dog cried out; some offal for the pupper! Then on the spit our roast of pig - and another pint of beer, This thing so high and mighty once; "Call Elf! We've got a tasty supper!" Coz reasons, probably. Elea tel'Taur GDMD |
