The Problem with Ouija Boards
I received a Facebook email this morning from a young lady who has been playing with a Ouija board. In the interest of sharing the issue in general, I'm going to paste that email here with my response. I hope this will help others who are using talking boards with ...

The Experience of Avatar
I will probably cry during the writing of this post. Possibly more than once. I'm just saying. Sunday when I came out of the theater as everyone else visited the restrooms, I started crying (again), hyperventilating a little and fighting to regain control of myself as people passed me entering ...

To Those Arriving From Facebook (and my past)
The focus of this blog will shock you. I can't help that. The subject matter is at the very least unconventional. I've spent so long in the thick of unconventionality that I forgot what it was like to look in from the outside. It may or may not comfort you ...

Because Meridjet Demands It
I've been instructed, or prodded rather, to compose this entry by His Majesty, the at times annoying spirit guy that hangs out with me. :)) I don't know what's on his mind, other than to recount the story of last night's party. Last night as in Saturday night, because it's ...

My Blog is, Firstly, For Me
An article in the NYTimes online today attempts to determine why people blog when they should be doing things like "homework and swim practice, or perhaps even housework and parenting." Their determination is that bloggers assume that just the act of starting a blog will provide an instant audience, followed ...

Valentine My Valentine
I started this post on Thursday night, but got too sick to finish. I'm behind on my book editing assignment and I really don't have time to do an update, I'm going to anyway because if I don't, I may very well forget or decide it's not important enough. I ...

Poll – Can I Have Your Opinion?
I'm taking a poll because this blog has at last reached the point where I either go for broke or start to seriously filter content. Meridjet is definitely stepping up the activity level, and it's very clearly going to include a lot of astral level interaction. While I got used ...

Meridjet Motives in a New Light
I was reading Wikipedia a bit ago, about schema therapy. There was a link at the bottom to their page on Cognitive Dissonance, in which I found this gem: Most of the research on cognitive dissonance takes the form of "induced compliance without sufficient justification." In these studies, participants are ...

Chat Log: Donald Tyson and Meridjet re: Free Will
November 2003 -- This is a chat log between Meridjet and Donald Tyson from 5 years ago; it's amazing to think that much time has gone by!

I Have Spent an Eternity in the Wind
In my youth, I was always moved by music and absorbed it like a sponge. That doesn't happen automatically anymore, but sometimes something will catch my ear and I can tap into that part of me again, for a while. Barring that, there's always Winamp and my old favorites. I ...

Something Weird
For several months, I've been seeing far more than the usual number of shadowy movements seen from the corner of my eye. They are growing in realism and frequency, and in the past two days I've seen at least a dozen out of the corner of my left eye (none ...

There’s A Storm Comin’ and We’d All Best Be Ready When She Does
The tropical storm known as Edouard (that's not a typo) is hovering off the coast of Texas/Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico and is due to hit here tomorrow. And when I say, "here," I do mean here. Observe: That star is the location of my house. Though Edouard (I guess ...

Trust is a Difficult Issue
For documentation purposes, I need to post about a recent event, though there's only so much I want to post publicly. I'm looking into a way to filter some posts to registered users of this site, but for now I will only give a sketchy description and it will have ...
