Changes a la Meridjet

And the wind always blows.

There is so much to catch you all up on, but it would be both pointless and boring to give you a bullet list or to try to summarize everything. Some things are more topical, and more internally pressing, than others. My increasingly pragmatic life belies the fact that when you strip me down to Continue reading →

Looking for the Light at the End of the Tunnel

For the return of Innocence.

I’ve been posting a lot of my more trivial stuff on Google+, but this post definitely doesn’t belong there. One thing I’ve noticed about social networks — they promote superficiality of a sort. Not that the posts are meaningless or pointless (well, some are), but there’s not a lot of sharing of the self in Continue reading →

In Which There’s Ow

Sometimes I feel this vulnerable.

I think I’ve developed an aversion to blogging. It’s really weird, because I have also seen more of a shift (for me, anyway) toward the social networking stuff. Google+ is like blogging, streamlined. But it’s not very personal, and my attraction to blogging was always to express myself, particularly the deeper and grittier stuff that Continue reading →

New Term: Inflicted Insight

Don't worry. It's not raining. It's a drought.

From Wikipedia: Inflicted Insight: Inflicted insight is a possible consequence for subjects participating in certain kinds of research. It occurs when the subject is given insight into his flaws through his participation in an experiment, often unexpectedly or causing emotional pain. It is especially likely in social and psychological research and especially when that research Continue reading →

Meridjet Speaks – Manifesting Wishes

First time he has spoken up to weigh in, in a while.

On the Spirit Companion Yahoogroup, a member asked for Meridjet and others to sound off on books such as The Secret that espouse manifesting your reality. The one she referenced said that whatever you ask for is immediately granted. She also wondered about impossible wishes, such as making a person look different or regrow an Continue reading →

Have a Pickle. I Have Spares.

Oh, shit.

Two issues have arisen this past week to gain new levels of priority, impelled by that all too familiar feeling of “Processing.” One came to light incrementally — a long-standing issue that has become impossible to ignore. It’s in the way of my personal growth, now, and while I’m not sure how I’m going to Continue reading →

What Fires Your Soul with Passion and Inspiration?

A fired-up soul, to be sure.

Well over a year ago, I started a post with an old original-to-Sheta survey and my responses. It’s still unfinished in the drafts folder, but I was just looking at it for the first time since and found this question. My answer pleased me, so I’m giving it up here. It serves as a really Continue reading →

Sheta’s Story, Part 2 – Meeting Meridjet

Oh man, I think I just drooled.

Part one is immediately previous to this post. I recommend this mp3 for this post (right click and save as). Meeting Meridjet, via Henry Disclaimer, I guess: Despite my years-long history of spooky encounters, the notion of a spirit being anything than either a guide or something to be afraid of had never occurred to Continue reading →

The Early Days – Sheta

A little bird told me you might be interested.

Alanora has inspired me by telling her story, and I realized I’ve never told the beginnings of my own story with Meridjet. Pretty much everyone knows how it started, but I’ve never expounded upon that. I guess I should do so now. First, The Backstory For those who haven’t heard the beginning, I will retell Continue reading →

In the Spirit of Friendship

I get email forwards all the time. Most of us do. Today I got one that was a little more inspiring than the average fare, and I thought I would share some of it, with a little commentary. I hope you will find it equally inspiring. People come into your life for a reason, a Continue reading →

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 little to no success. Her Continue reading →

Book Series, Part 2 – Doubt

What follows will be the last unfiltered bit of my manuscript that I will post. If you’d like to see more, please go here and sign up for this series. Chapter One, part 2: Doubt Doubt is one of the hardest challenges in the spirit companion (SC) relationship. Doubt can be anything from objectively waiting Continue reading →
