Is Sasquatch a SLIder?

Is Sasquatch a SLIder?

What is a SLIder you ask?  A SLIder is someone who has strange phenomenon occur, particularly to electrical devices, while in their presence. This can include, but is not limited to -

• Appliances such as lamps or TV's go on and off without being touched.
• Light bulbs constantly blow when a SLIder tries to turn a light on or off.
• Volume levels on TV's, radios, or stereos change on their own.
• Wrist watches stop working.
• Children's electronic toys start by themselves whenever a SLIder is present.
• Credit Cards and other magnetically encoded cards are damaged or erased when in a SLIder's possession.
• Cell phones calls will be interrupted by static or the call will be dropped.
• Street lights will turn off when a SLIder is near and then turn themselves back on after the SLIder has passed by.
• Photographic equipment may malfunction or photographs will look bleached out or be out of focus.
• Computers will malfunction - freeze or reboot on their own.

The term SLIder stands for Street Light Interference. This phenomenon was first noticed occurring to street lights, probably because street lights were among some of the first electrical devices among the public. 
What causes these strange occurrences to happen? It is speculated that this effect might be caused by electronic impulses in the brain. All of our thoughts and movements are the result of electrical impulses generated by the brain. These electrical impulses travel back and forth through a person's nerves, spinal cord and brain and in turn generate an electromagnetic field. Something every person has. Most SLIders seem to have an unusually strong electromagnetic field. Could these electrical impulses also affect things outside the body?

British researcher, Hilary Evans compiled hundreds of reports of SLIder interference. These reports can be found in his book, SLIders: The Enigma of Streetlight Interference . Through these reports, Evans determined that SLI is not a conscious action, but appears to occur when the SLIder is in an extreme emotional state (extreme anger and extreme sadness being the top two emotions felt). It's possible that this extreme emotional state creates an excess amount of (electrical) energy which in turn may travel through the air (ether) and interfere with the electromagnetic field of an electronic item.

Formal studies have not been done - the scientific community has a hard time believing in something which cannot be seen. But many researchers of the unknown feel that the energy of a location (geomagnetic/geo-electrical/vibrational) can enhance the phenomenon and even amplify a person's electromagnetic field, thus causing the SLI effect to be stronger and occur more frequently.  

Now, back to Sasquatch.  

Many researchers have found that trail cameras (a.k.a. game cameras) will malfunction when placed in areas with known or suspected Sasquatch activity. Pictures taken on trail cameras will often appear white (or 'bleached out') or be of an unusual color. Date and time stamps will read incorrectly or batteries will go dead unusually fast. Videos taken will also have unusual portions - similar to what happens with trail cam photos. 

People who have interacted with Sasquatch report unusual electrical activity. Anything from static electricity in the air to the feel of a jolt of electricity running through a person's body. What if Sasquatch is able to access the electrical energy created by his own body and project that electromagnetic field outwards, causing electrical devices to malfunction? Or perhaps even to disorient his prey so that he may get a meal? There are humans who are able to do this - project their 'energy' outwards. Have you ever been in a group of people when you just 'knew' someone had arrived without actually seeing him or her? You were picking up on that person's energy as they entered the room.

The movie, OHMAWING, addresses this 'electrical phenomenon' associated with Sasquatch. 

Many researchers report that Sasquatch activity lessens when trail cameras or auditory recording devices are put in place. Could the same electrical ability which Sasquatch uses to disable electronics make him sensitive to the electric fields generated by those devices? Thus allowing him to avoid areas where cameras are located? There are humans who are sensitive to electrical fields generated by various household devices as well as cell towers and high voltage power lines. 

Many animals are sensitive to the earth's magnetic fields and use that ability to guide them in their migrations. If we humans weren't bombarded by the various sources of electrical/magnetic interference in the ether, would we not also be better 'in tune' to the Earth's energies around us?

How do You Sense Color?

What sense do you use when interacting with a color? Your eyes? Your ears? Or maybe even your sense of smell?

Most humans utilize their sense of sight when a color is involved. But did you know that Dogs can smell color? And Bats can hear color? And there are some humans who can feel color.
But how is this possible you ask?
It is my belief that everything in this world is made up of vibrational energy. Different people, animals, and inanimate objects vibrate at different frequencies. This would also include color. Different colors have different densities and will vibrate at different frequencies. 
Many species have evolved specific senses in order for them to survive. Bats have a highly developed sense of hearing to enable them to locate insects or other edible objects in the dark. When bats use echolocation, they are discerning the difference between something edible and something which isn't edible by the way the sound waves bounce off the object. If their sense of hearing is that acute, then who is to say that they are not able to tell the difference between colors? There is a blind man who is able to use clicking sounds to find his way around in the world.  
Dogs have a highly developed sense of smell and hearing. They 'smell' in color. Because they utilize all their senses when observing their world, they have associated certain smells with certain items. Humans have a tendency to do the same thing though we do not think of it as 'smelling color'. When you take a deep breathe in late Spring, what do you smell? There is a freshness in the air which we humans often associate with the color green. Dogs have taken this talent to an extreme level.
Blind artists are often able to discern the difference between colors simply by feeling them. Different colors will have different textures because of the pigments used to give them their distinctive hue. 
Try utilizing ALL your sense when experiencing the world. You might be surprised with what you discover!

Maintaining High Vibrations

The higher a person's vibration or frequency is the happier and healthier that person will be. Getting there & maintaining a high vibration can be hard in today's society. We are constantly bombarded by negative images and information - listening to or reading the news, stress at work, well-intended friends or relatives, even life's little occurrences can cause a cloud of doom and gloom to descend upon us. 

Let's begin our path to a higher vibration at home. 

• ·         Clearing away clutter prevents negative energy from lingering.
• ·         Perhaps re-arranging the furniture is in order. Reference a Feng Shui book so that energy may flow easier. 
• ·         Open the windows to allow air movement through your home - thus allowing positively charged air to push out any negative energy.
• ·         Burn a candle - the flame of the candle will clear out the negative.
• ·         Bring houseplants into the home, they will help neutralize the bad energy/vibrations. If you feel you have a brown thumb, there are quite a variety of plants to choose from, consult with someone knowledgeable and have them guide you towards the 'almost' indestructible flora. 

Now let's tend to you. We are our own worst enemy. We can sabotage ourselves and not even know it.

• ·         Wake up in a good mood - even during the week when the prospect of work is looming. Not everyone in the world has a job or even has the luxuries we have. Being grateful for what we have does a lot to raise one's frequency.
• ·         Meditate - this very process has been shown to help with so many problems. Students in school who meditate are more apt to get good grades and help others. Meditation can improve not only mental attitude but also physical well-being.
• ·         Be kind to others, and not just people. We are all so connected on this earth that an ill spoken statement or mean act can cause more harm than good.  
• ·         Get plenty of rest and exercise. Exercising, besides keeping you in good shape, releases endorphins (hormones secreted within the brain). Endorphins makes us happy.
• ·         Eat well. I'm not referring to filet mignon and caviar. But to organically produced food - processed food and GMO's can have a detrimental effect not only the body but also on a person’s attitude.
• ·         Surround yourself with people who support you and who have the same or higher vibration. Higher vibrations are contagious and will help raise the vibrations of those who encounter them.
• ·         Get out into Nature. Studies have proven that being in Nature for even short periods of time can reduce stress and bring about a more 'in the moment' train of thought.
• ·         Hold your head up & shoulders back (remember when your mom said to stand up straight?) How you present yourself can have an impact on not only on yourself but how others perceive you.
• ·         Look people in the eye when you interact with them. Give firm handshakes - even if you are a woman. These small things will give yourself a boost of confidence and make people feel more confident in what you have to tell them.

And lastly we shall tackle the work environment. Here a person is more limited as to what they can and can't do. So you may have to be a bit creative. 

• ·         Before heading to work every day, visualize yourself (and know deep down) that you will have a good day. The simple act of visualizing your intention can have a positive effect of your day.
• ·         Try to limit your exposure to office drama, gossip, and politics.
• ·         Keep a smile on your face and a positive attitude. This does more to 'derail' those on the negative thought train. Leave your place of work altogether at lunch, if possible. Just the change in scenery can do wonders to improve a mood and relieve stress.
• ·         Spend your breaks daydreaming. The change in 'scenery' even if in your mind has a positive effect.
• ·         Don't take anything personally and admit when you are wrong. Few people anymore will admit to an error but none of us are perfect and mistakes will happen. Admit it and go on. This release allows room for more positive things to happen in your life. 
• ·         If possible, personalize your space so you will feel more comfortable. When you are comfortable, you are calmer and vibrations are higher level.

A slow implementation of change is usually best. It is easier to incorporate new things into a routine if they are done a few at a time. This also allows a person to see what works for them and what doesn't.

Physics & Magic ~ Vibration & You

Many factors can effect the rate at which your body vibrates; the music you listen to, the food you eat, the television shows you watch, the people you associate with.

If you find you are 'down in the dumps', perhaps a change is needed. Listen to music that makes you feel good - music can do wonderful things in helping cleanse the chakras. Start watching the 'fuel' you are putting into your 'energy tank' - highly processed food and GMO food does very little to raise a person's vibration. Limit the amount of time you spend with the people who are 'downers'. These types of people seldom keep a positive attitude, let alone a higher vibrational level. In fact they can drain you of your energy.
Remember, you will attract the very things which vibrate at the same level as yourself. Take a close look at what is in your life. If you are seeing areas in which you could improve, take action! Begin by writing down what you wish to see manifest in your life. Then let the Universe know. Believe in these positive changes with every ounce of your being. Feel those positive changes with your emotions (this is of utmost importance!). The changes will appear but in a time frame which the Universe feels is best for you.

Vibration can help or hinder your growth as a person. It is all up to you!

Physics and Magic ~ Healing Power of Purr

"If you put a cat and a bunch of broken bones in the same room, the bones will heal." old veterinarian saying

Certain vibrations or frequencies are associated with various parts of the body. The Chakras all have a different frequency which they respond to (I plan on expanding on that later.) as do the various parts of the body.

Most of the time we Humans need to use music or artificially generated sound to create the frequency needed to assist in the healing process.  The Cat, on the other hand, has the ability to generate the frequency needed. This is done through purring.

Cats are known to purr when they are content. But Cats will also purr when they are injured and sick. Why? Because their purr has healing properties. By now, most people know that having a pet lowers a person's stress and anxiety level. (remind me of that when Gomez's doppelganger decides to climb the curtains for the umpteenth time!) But Cats are especially remarkable.

They can generate purrs in the range of 20-140 Hz, all which are medically therapeutic. Especially for the following afflictions - pain relief, bone growth and healing, tendon and joint repair, swelling relief, certain heart afflictions, healing of wounds.

When Hubby broke his femur, click here!, and was laid up at home, Gomez and his buddies were in constant attendance. They would lay next to the broken bone and purr. Especially Gomez. His purr is louder than the others. They knew what was wrong and were doing their part to help their Daddy heal. The doctor was amazed at how rapidly Hubby healed.

So, if you're having health problems, get a pet! Already have one? Take a moment or two or three every day to sit with your pet and let the healing process begin!

Magic and Physics ~ Vibration & Frequency

painting by Jenny Dixon

We're back to Vibration today. 

I found this article, Click Here! , that speaks of Vibration and its use in Magic. 

Because we are made up of atoms and atoms are always in motion, we are made up of Energy in Motion or Vibrational Energy. In fact everything in this existence is made of Vibrational Energy.  The frequency we vibrate at will determine many things in our life. It will determine how we interact with other people, it determines how we interact with machines, it also determines what is attracted to us. 
Have you ever met someone who really seemed to 'mesh' with you? You both may not have the same opinions or likes, yet you get along with this other person quite well. Why? The vibrational frequencies of the two people will compliment each other. Imagine two different songs being played at the same time. And both songs are complimentary to the other. When a person encounters someone with an uncomplimentary vibrational frequency, then discord will arise.
Some people are able to match their vibration with those of machines. These people are able to fix machines with ease. People who can match their vibration with that of plants have green thumbs. And so on.
When a person can raise their vibration to a higher frequency, then positive things happen to that person. But how does one go about raising their vibration? By letting your higher emotions take over. Let love, joy, happiness, gratitude rule your thoughts. When doom and gloom invade the mental facility, then dark energy is what you will attract. Like attracts like! Just remember though, nothing happens over night. Once you begin living with the higher frequency emotions, it may take a bit for the Universe or Source Energy to clear out all the gloom and doom from your life in order to make room for the good stuff.
People need to learn to let go of those negative thoughts. There is no room for grudges, resentment, jealousies, or any other emotion that causes a person to feel mad, sad, or gloomy. And while bad and disconcerting things will always occur in a person's life, it is these obstacles that help a person to grow into a better person.

Some interesting tidbits -
DNA strands communicate with each other at a frequency of 7.83Hz The heartbeat of the planet (aka Schumann Resonance*) is said to be roughly 7.83 Hz. Coincidence?
*Schumann Resonance - Here!  And Here!

Nikola Tesla discovered Schumann Resonance (1800s) long before Prof. W.O. Schumann discovered them in 1952.  Tesla made that discovery when he was living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My current home town. Coincidence?

"If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." Nikola Tesla

"What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter." Albert Einstein

The Physics of Magic ~Living in the NOW!

For those of you out there who might still have doubts about Manifesting, I would like to provide you with a couple of interesting articles about manifesting reality.

When Imagination Creates Reality

Spirit Science and Metaphysics: Proof that Consciousness Creates Reality

There have been purported cases of people's thought forms taking human shape. These thought forms are called Tulpas. The current Slender Man meme is thought to be a Tulpa.

So watch what you think!

And how do you keep those negative, worrying thoughts at bay? Live in the NOW!

When a person worries, they are letting unrealized thoughts intrude into their current consciousness. Those worries can manifest.

How does a person live in the Now? When the gloomy shadow of worry and day to day living begin to creep towards the sunshine of the mind, take a deep breath and feel all that is around you. Feel it with ALL your senses. The Now is precious - it is time which you can never recoup so spend it wisely.

Make time for meditation. Spend at least 5 minutes (preferably 10 or 15) doing absolutely nothing. Do small acts of kindness or generosity. Smile. Express gratitude.

Living in the Now is also called Living Deliberately.

A wise woman once told me, 'If you don't like a situation, then change it. Every person has the ability to change that which bothers them.' If something is bothering you, take action to change it. 

If worries about the health of a loved one are nagging at you, then every time a worry creeps up, push it aside with a positive affirmation - send love, light, and healing energy to the person. Remember the little girl I wrote about in this post? Click Here! She replaced her worries with positive affirmations which manifested.

Need a little help manifesting? Try utilizing what I will call add-ons. These can be herbs, crystals, candles, scents, drawings, colors, etc. These are items which have been used for many a year by those who would be called Witches. (yes, I am proud of that moniker!)

These items help a person focus their energy towards the task at hand. And the energies of the items used will combine with your own. Remember though, The Universe provides what you ask for, it just may not be in the form you thought it would take. So keep an open mind!

Does anyone have any questions, comments, or suggestions on further installments?

The Physics of Magic ~ Visualization, Manifesting and Collective Thought

painting by Jenny Dixon

When working magic, we are taught that intent - the aim or purpose - of the spell is very important. That we should keep our 'intent', our purpose in working the magic, at the forefront of our mind the whole time we are actually doing the magic or spell.

 Visualization is almost as important as intent. What you see in your mind's eye (third eye) is as important as your intent. We need to clearly 'see' what we hope to achieve with the magic (spell) that we are putting our energy into. This is how the energy you are working with is able to bring about change. 

If the energy wave anticipated you seeing a lamp next to the chair it is because you were quite clear and comfortable with the fact that it would be there. You visualized or saw in your 'mind's eye' the lamp next to the chair. 

When visualizing, a person need not get too detailed or too specific. One of the main reasons a spell or magical working fails is because the person either failed to properly visualize the end result or too much information or too many details were given.  Say you wish to work a spell to increase your monthly salary. If you simply see yourself being richer or say that you wish to be richer, then the Universe may not understand that you are referring to money or you may get money but it may take months or years down the road to manifest. But if you 'see' yourself going to the bank on payday and making a large monetary deposit or request more money to be able to make your bills, then the Universe has a better idea of what you are trying to manifest. 

Let the Universe know what your need is but let the Universe deliver in its own way. We will go back to the money spell - when working on that manifestation, don't tell the Universe how to manifest the money but just let it be known that you are in need of money for (fill in the blank).

It is best to meditate (something I am currently working on improving) prior to any sort of magic. Then explain what you are trying to achieve. I do this out loud as it sometimes helps to clear any lingering cobwebs about the request. Then I will play out a narrative in my head while I am actually physically casting the spell. I then replay this narrative in my head on a daily basis. Sometimes several times a day. I will even replay the narrative during meditation sessions. This reinforces with the Universe the manifesting. If you choose to use other items in your spell, then keep your intent and visualization front and foremost in your mind while you are gathering or preparing the items. 

You visualizing what you want to manifest tells the energy particles, the energy wave, what to become. Love, a very powerful emotion, can add a great deal of power to any magical working. There is truth in the old adage, All You Need is Love. Love is amazing and can cause miracles to happen. The emotion of Love will raise a person's vibration to a higher frequency so that you are closer to the creative Source. I wrote about a good example in last week's post. The love that the people of southern Louisiana felt for each other and for their land was so strong that when they all prayed together a vast and immediate change occurred to a powerful hurricane. Yes, there is definitely a better ability to bring about positive changes if more people think the same thing.

We, as Light and Energy Beings, can bring about positive changes to mankind and to the planet if we would only visualize them with the love that is in our hearts.

The Physics of Magic ~ Love, Prayer & Manifesting

painting by Jenny Dixon

Last week I wrote about Subtle Energy Fields, Universal Energy, and changing our reality with our thoughts (manifesting). I wrote about how our thoughts can tap into the Universal Energy and interact with the Subtle Energy field and create or change our reality. I also wrote how everything in our world is made up of energy - and because we are made up of energy, we are always in motion or vibrating.

Thoughts and words have power. We often hear quotes and sayings about 'watch your words' or 'watch what you say' or 'don't give that thought a breathe of life'. There's truth in all of those sayings. Different words and thoughts have different vibrations. The stronger the emotion behind the word or thought, the stronger the likelihood that the word or thought will become real.
In 2002, we lived in Louisiana. Our house was about 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. On October 1st, a hurricane developed in the Atlantic. It was named Lili. By the time Lili entered into the Gulf of Mexico on Oct. 2nd, it had strengthened to a category 4  hurricane with wind speeds between 130mph -156mph. That kind of wind velocity can blow over a house with ease. Southern Louisiana is very religious - mainly Catholic. So when Hurricane Lili strengthened, the people of southern Louisiana prayed. They prayed that the hurricane would spare them from a vicious onslaught of destruction. By the time Hurricane Lili made its way to shore, it had weakened to a category 1. There was still extensive damage, but the majority was to power poles and trees.  What caused such rapid weakening? At the time, meteorologists were a bit baffled by the sudden decrease in strength - reports now say that cooler water, drier air and vertical wind sheers combined to sap the energy from the storm - but could that combination really 'deflate it' so rapidly as in a matter of a few hours? Maybe. But I know several thousand, if not million, people who will say otherwise. Did the combined energy of the prayers of these thousand(s) people 'take the wind out of Hurricane Lili's sails' ? I say "Yes!" 

Prayers are no more than positive affirmations, positive thoughts that are sent out into the Cosmos to connect with the Universal Energy source. Each and every religion has their own way of 'praying' - it doesn't matter if it is in a church praying to a god, or in the woods speaking with a spirit of nature, or imbuing a candle with positive affirmations and letting those thoughts out to reach a beloved deity as the candle burns - they are all performing the same act. Trying to manifest a change in reality by connecting with a higher and more powerful force.

 A young girl was depressed because her parents were unemployed. The family had been living with the grandparents. The girl's parents had been looking for work for quite some time but the economy was bad and jobs were few and far between. Her parents needed jobs so that the family could move into a place of their own. The little girl was told to say every morning and every time a dark hopeless thought came into her head, 'My parents will find good jobs which will allow us to move into our home.' The little girl said this every morning, every night and every time a dark depressing thought came into her head. And within two weeks, her father had a job and within a month they had their own place to live.
The little girl not only spoke these words but she truly believed in them. The love she felt for her parents and her sibling was evident in the way she spoke the words, the way in which she let the Universe know her need and in the trust she placed in the Universe to fulfill her need. Her Intent was clear, strong and filled with Love.

The Intent which gives the word or thought or phrase life is everything! Words which are spoken with love or thoughts which come from a place of love have more power than those which are casually cast about.  This is why it is so very important to choose your words wisely not only when speaking but also when manifesting. Love causes everything it touches to vibrate at a higher frequency thus bringing it closer to the Source or Universal Energy field. Which in turn assists in the manifestation of the thought. The vibrational energy of not only the person but the words will combine to give the plea/prayer/spell strength and reality. Witches will combine herbs, colors, words in a spell to be bring about change. They are utilizing the combined strength of the items to connect with Universal Energy. When we are able to tap into the Universal Energy, we also connect with the Subtle Energy Field and cause atoms to manifest into reality.

Next week, I'll write about Visualization and Manifesting as well as Personal Energy or Chi. And as always, I welcome comments, questions and suggestions.

The Physics of Magic ~ Quantum Physics Basics

I am no scientist. Especially a Quantum Physics Scientist! 
I am going to try and explain Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Quantum Everything Else as simply as I can and as I understand it. 
Please feel free to add your thoughts in the comments below!

Everything is made up of atoms. From Us to water to soil to the chair you're sitting in. These atoms are made up of smaller particles called protons, electrons, neutrons [we'll call them t(r)ons]. But the atoms still have empty space in them despite the "t(r)ons". In fact atoms are 99% empty space.  (discovered by Lord Rutherford in 1913)  But, this empty space is not really empty. Scientists think that the empty space in an atom is filled with an electrical field or as I like to call it, a Subtle Energy Field. 

We also know that atoms are always moving. Always vibrating. But different things will vibrate at different rates or frequencies. Thus everything we know is made up of Energy in Motion or Vibrational Energy.

Atoms are made of neutrons, protons, electrons. But what are those 't(r)ons' made of? Smaller particles called fermions & bosons.  And fermions & bosons are made up of quarks & leptons. In Quantum Theory (I use the term loosely) fermions & bosons combine to make protons & neutrons which make up everything on our planet. What causes the fermions & bosons to become the the item or thing that it needs to be? What source or energy tells fermions & bosons to materialize in a specific shape? The 'God Particle' or Higgs Boson. This is an energy field which permeates our world, our universe. This energy field connects us all. I like to call this energy field Universal Energy. 

In 1801, Scientist Thomas Young developed an experiment that showed that subatomic particles [t(r)ons] are waves of energy except when they are observed or measured, then they are particles. A particle, simply by being observed or interacted with, can change from an energy wave to matter. AND that particle can some how know what the observer is expecting to see. Thus, by a person's sheer thought, an energy wave can manifest into being.

It is also through thoughts that a person can access the Universal Energy Field which connects everything and bring about changes. Dr. William A. Tiller has spent many years experimenting with the abilities of human intentions. He and his team have been able to change the pH of water over great distances by only the use of human thought and intentions. Dr. Tiller proposes that there are two levels of reality. The first is the world we experience with our five senses. The other occurs within the 'empty' area around atoms. This second reality is the area where our thoughts tap into Universal Energy, interact with the Subtle Energy Field and changes are made to our physical reality (manifesting).

Hopefully, I haven't lost you. We had to get some basic Quantum information out of the way before we could get into the good stuff!  Next week I'm going to write about first hand experiences of Thoughts changing reality, Love, Prayer (really?) and other manifesting.
