A question with many Answers

One of my students stated “where do you get all these sayings from, it will be pretty good when I can understand them. How has Ninjutsu changed you?”

Interestingly, this question perplexed me somewhat as I began to ponder what had changed so dramatically In my life, my training and why Ninjutsu was the catalyst. One statement from a great master himself other than Hatsumi seemed to fit the bill. Ed Martin (affectionately known as PAPASAN) and I were discussing on the phone with thousands of miles between us – Kihon Happo and the accident that caused my severe memory loss. A few years ago, I was involved in a horrific Car accident that nearly took my own life and that of my wife’s. Finally, during recovery, I went back to teaching a few students and found that I could not actually remember anything - even simple Kamae. I found myself in a hall without mirrors and with lost knowledge. The only thing I could do was study what little info I had and begin to teach from the heart. Perhaps; channeling the intelligence from a higher order if you will - even Ninpo. I discussed this phenomena with Papasan and he said “You know Jock, I bet that your movement now is more intuitive and natural due to the fact that you have come from no form and you have had to learn from the heart.” This was of course a revelation to me as I realized the lesson within the statement. I had just reached a form of enlightenment and found myself at the behest of the essence of Ninjutsu rather than what I had originally understood.

When many people come to the Bujinkan at first, they are faced with what seems like unnatural movement that must become natural and perhaps more importantly, they do not understand the senses. In order to understand the essence of Ninjutsu, you must open the heart. This in turn makes the requisite changes that you seek in your life. How do you open your heart? Again this question has many answers but a positive step is to see with your inner spirit than materially with your physical eyes. That may sound profound but as you get to understand what is in between the lines and understand how energy moves – you begin to feel and see from within.

When your life is out of balance, it will show in your Taijutsu. No matter what is out of balance, your energy system will not flow as nature intended and so you will not flow – finding the stumbling blocks of movement within your Taijutsu and your life. To identify a potential weakness in your movement will allow you to reflect those requisite changes in your life. In order to improve on all 3 levels of Mind, body and spirit, you must accept your flaws but as an opportunity for growth. Without understanding your weaknesses, you are in fact coming from a position of ego and not seeing the larger picture of being able to grow spiritually and make the changes as necessary. So what is important is not how Ninjutsu has changed you but how you have changed yourself by using Ninjutsu as the key to unlock the door.

The old saying is very useful here A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING.

Personally, I believe that most of the mental health problems in the world are due to being open to negative entities. Interference as I prefer to call it rather than possession (although that is still a good word as it describes how the entity feels about you and uses you) is rife to very many degrees.

If the knowledge was open for all to understand then it can be guarded against. There was an institution many years ago called the Lyceum, originally in the Strand in London.

The Lyceum was in fact connected to spiritualism and was a school teaching all subjects including that. There were experiments in education where pupils were taught the benefits of meditation etc and it had a marked effect on calming down those who took part. Obviously the government realised that however beneficial it appeared to be, encouraging people to explore the spiritual side of life may lead to them discovering the full truth, so in true tradition, the Lyceum experiment was abandoned no doubt to the great relief of government, religions, sceptics, and scientists who regards this as dangerous to their beliefs and grip on power.

Therefore, with the abandonment of the idea we placed ourselves back many decades. The continuous suppression of knowledge is degrading not only to our ideas of freedom – pardon me if I laugh, but also to our human rights. I am not a spiritualist, but I am a spiritual person. Spiritualism is a religion however; it is not protected like any other. Just try mocking, Islam, Muslims, Judaism, Catholicism and see what you get. Yet, it seems it is ok for sceptics and scientists, and other religions to mock what they really do not understand.

If you take all the major religions, they are all similar on the most important aspects, which is just what you would expect when the initial information has come from Spirit. However, the problems occur when man realises that it in itself posses power then it is rewritten by man with his goals in mind, not Spirits. This is why there are conflicts in this world.

More have died in the name of religion “peace and love” than in any world wars, or other conflicts. Why is this? Because man cannot agree, ego plays it’s part and we want to be different and claim that it runs through us.

Another great site with plenty to say on this and with proper scientific knowledge at its base, which naturally is also suppressed, is http://www.cfpf.org.uk/articles/background/scientificproof/scientificproof1.html

Do go visit it you will not be disappointed and you can see that a lot of the world thinks like you do.

In today’s stressful world, we need to find ways to be able to escape from the everyday pressures of not only the workplace but also; day to day living. When we let the pressure build from outside sources, then our health suffers as we need to let off steam but tend to bottle it all up and within. This results in all manner of problems from headaches to migraines to high blood pressure to lowering of our immune system so that we end up catching colds and flu’s and whatever virus is on the go. Meditation is widely becoming recognized as a tool to relieve stress and to be able to help you cope with any obstacle or problem including improving health issues. Many corporations are bringing in experts to teach their staff how to meditate as they have seen the benefits of as little as 4 weeks of using a focused meditative state.

These include higher concentration levels, more confidence in self, less time off sick and improved memory. Meditation is quite a simple art and anyone can do it. You just need to train your mind to focus and concentrate. Meditation can be done in any position where you feel most comfortable. I would recommend a comfortable chair without any distractions. Make sure that you unplug the phone and you avoid anything that could alarm you and make you jump. It is a good idea to play some relaxing music as you close your eyes and get comfortable, use a blanket or have something to cover yourself incase you get cold.

Start by taking a few deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly and just place your attention on your breathing at this time. You can then place your attention on different parts of your body, starting at your toes, telling each part to relax and let go. Soon you will feel a lot calmer and ready to begin to visualize different scenes in your mind.

Everyone can learn visualization skills, it just takes time and practice but the benefits are worth it. With a positive state of mind and regular meditation, we can heal ourselves from within bringing mental, physical and emotional relief. By using your visualization skills, you are actually giving your mind and brain a chance to recharge itself.

You are basically stopping yourself from thinking about all of your problems and stresses and what you have to do or any thing that seems to be negatively on your mind at present. This means that you free your mind and it is like a wonderful break literally for your body and mind.

By visualizing that you are lying on a lovely beach listening to the sounds of the sea and reading a good book, actually sends signals to your brain of feeling happy and content which in turn releases endorphins which has a calming effect on the nervous system.

You can choose whatever scene makes you happy, for some people that would be a walk in the country rather than lying on the beach. The essence is that your mind at some level believes that you are there. Trying this is a very safe and beneficial as well as enjoyable exercise and building the meditation up over a few weeks will soon help you to notice the difference in your life.

So if you feel you are under stress especially during the Christmas period, or in need of a break but cannot find the time to get away, then why not give yourself a chance to experience what is now becoming the medicine of the future. My advice to you is to always focus on what you want, not what you don’t want and watch how you change the world around you.

The domino effect is not a science but a truth that is as old as the laws of the universe. It is universal knowledge and a gift for all of humankind – it’s a gift that we can all give and costs nothing, but the effects can be staggering. Why the domino effect? Stand a domino on its end and continue to set up all the dominos that you can gather. Perhaps create a pattern or an elaborate design or provoke many effects such as lighting, fireworks and explosions. As the first domino falls towards the other, you will hear the gentle tick of all others following in unison like the footsteps of a platoon or marching band. As each falls in perfect timing with its natural force of energy carrying the impetus, so does each of the affects that you may have set up. In the end you create a masterpiece of physical science and a sense of achievement that you have completed something spectacular. Created for others to enjoy or receive its benefits.

In this earth we are the dominos though we do not recognize it or understand the truth of the analogy. Perhaps instead of creating the positively charged chain reaction that we need, we fail to see who we are and how we can become that domino for the best. As we leave the years behind us with all the disasters and misfortunes of the past with all the destruction and loss of life, would it not be better to be a domino?

Consider this; a woman is suicidal because of the hand she has dealt herself in this life and a young child goes home from school with the fear of knowing that tonight he may receive another beating from his stepfather. An old woman walking home from her daily shopping routine is struck by the loneliness that burns into her soul because she has lost a loved one. For every negative experience that comes their way, so the domino effect comes into play and the chain reaction of life begins. How does it happen? Well, just like this. It is early morning and you are late for work, as you leave the house your neighbour says good morning and you ignore him. At that minute the postal worker who is also late and in a foul mood sees you and you give him grief for the tardiness and late arrival of your morning post. So the chain reaction has begun. Now, the postman on the way back after his round bumps into the old woman and hurts her as well as giving her a mouthful for getting in the way. She feels even more distressed and saddened further as her late husband would have protected her from this. The neighbour who is the stepfather of the child goes back into the house in a foul mood discussing with his partner how ignorant you have been. Slowly and surely the anger and the negative energy becomes charged and fuelled – ready to be ignited. The partner leaves for work and the stepfather is out of work for the moment and continues to brood on how life is horrible. At 4.00 pm the child returns home from school and goes to his bedroom. Acting as a child does he puts on his computer console which is too loud and continues to enjoy playing the latest game. Minutes later the stepfather enters the room and begins to shout at the young child and as the child retorts with a sorrowful “but” the stepfather ushers forward and strikes the child in the face for his insolence. Feeling the guilt for hitting the child his anger surfaces and he develops excuses for his actions. While trying to get on to the right side of the child – the mother returns home from work and finds an explosive situation brewing. Nothing is said and in the silence the negative energy is brewing and growing like a cancer. It’s not long before the stepfather and the mother turns to alcohol and the conversation gets more direct and insulting from both parties. Meanwhile the child lives in fear cocooned in his room and listening to the cacophony below. The father then storms out in a rage making his way to the nearest hostellers. The mother meanwhile has had enough and in her drunken stupor has reached for the bottle of pills in which she finds solace in the hope that all the pain will stop. All this has come to a climax and the negative domino reaction that took place at the beginning was the catalyst for a disaster. Even though this may seem extreme, one simple negative thought or action can cause a chain reaction of negativity – thus suffering and mayhem follows. It is easy to see how this may have been different by inducing a positive domino effect without the need for excessive emotion. Ok let’s see the positive effects of the domino effect.

It is early morning and you are late for work but this does not matter because you have thanked god for the wonderful gift of life that you have been given as you arise earlier that morning. You have created a positive affirmation that you are happy and exude happiness, that you are provided for by the universe and any stumbling blocks along the way are only tests to make you stronger. On leaving the house you bump into your neighbour – you smile and have a brief chat. You instil a sense of ease in him and perhaps remark how nice the day is even if it is raining. At that moment, you see the mail carrier rushing around on his delivery and as he approaches you with your mail – you smile – you make light of the tardiness and ask if he needs a cuppa. Jokingly the mail carrier laughs with you and smiles back, now realising there is more to life than remaining angry. You have a laugh with your neighbour, shake his hand – infusing him with positive energy and say your farewells. The mail carrier on his way back from work notices the old woman struggling along the road and instinctively offers to help. Whilst smiling he begins to chat and soon enough she feels that she is not the loneliest person in the world. A smile soon breaks those weary lines in her face and the eyes light up with the spark of god by her side. The neighbour who has gone into the house now feels more positive than he felt earlier on. He begins to tidy the home and in a positive frame of mind makes headway into finding more employment. His guide who is standing close by is whispering in his consciousness and placing the idea that he might prepare a meal for his wife that is returning from a hard day’s work. He notices a picture on the mantelpiece of his wife and his stepson and smiles knowing deep inside that he has a family that is loved and that he himself is loved. At 4pm his stepson comes in from school; the father smiles at him and asks how his day has been. He exclaims, “I have an idea, why don’t you and I prepare a lovely meal for your mum, we will do it together as she has been working all day, then maybe we can play that game that you like”. The wife returns soon after – walks into the home and sees her family hard at work preparing a meal and having fun whilst doing it. Soon they are all at it and smiles are everywhere, the energy is light and airy and full of positive vibrations. Sitting at the table, the discussion turns to each other’s day as they share a meal together. Later in the evening as the family is enjoying their time together – she looks over to the mantelpiece and notices her pain killers on the side – discarding this sight she then sees the picture of her family and thanks god for the wondrous gift that she has. All this from a smile and a kind thought.

As you can see the outcome of both of these domino effects creates a negative ending or a positive ending and as you read this channelled message you may notice the effects and changes in your own energy. The negative emotion will be created and you will feel it inside you, yet when you read the positive ending you will feel a sense of well being and happiness knowing that the reaction of the action has begun with a simple smile and ended with a life being saved. Make the decision – go on – become a domino and save someone’s life for every time you smile or have a positive thought - know that the universe has saved someone through your own domino effect.

Many of you will know of my skills as a photographer and recently i was asked to go to one of the largest engineering projects in scotland today. My job was to go into an underground tunnel that was used to pump water via one loch and into and out of Loch ness.

The tunnel was built over 36 years ago and had to be maintained with the same company. I was obviously quite excited at seeing this site and photographing it. I also wondered if i would pick up any information of a spiritual nature. Perhaps men had passed in the tunnel when it was first errected. At first when i went in to the tunnel, i could feel nothing. Time had passed and in the process of taking pictures, i decided to climb up a scaffolding and take a couple of shots from about 20 feet up. No sooner had i gone up - you guessed it - that famliar feeling of spirit being all around me. I climbed down as i felt i was eing warned - fired off a few shots and guess what - orbs. Have a look?

Spirits watching over us

A true psychic looks into the present moment to help you realise the problems and blocks that you have that will be creating more problems and blocks in your future. For a true psychic will tell you the past, present and future all exist as one. When we hold on to any upset from the past it will affect us now in the present moment, which is then creating the pain in your future manifesting as problems and obstacles and even ill health.

The future is not about fate or potluck, as some would believe. The future is controlled and created by you, your own self, living your own life with free will to follow your heart and live your truth. Although this works fine if you follow your higher guidance/vibes, but by leaving it to fate or pot luck then you will not be taking responsibility for your life. This makes you feel like life is topsey turvey being thrown from one ordeal to another. Not feeling anything and hoping there is some good news or times to come. Believing that you have no control in the matters of your life.

This is what causes people to fear the future or to fear things before they even happen, anxiety, stress and worries all because they don’t claim their own power. A true psychic never worries about their future as they know that it is them who creates it. The most important thing a true psychic will tell you is to stop searching for happiness and find it today in the present moment. Stop waiting and start creating in the matters of your life. This means start taking responsibility to change what you do not like in your life to make things better.

Do what you can to change what it is that’s holding you back, because pot luck won’t help in this area and only serving you in the way of a catch-22 situation of things that repeat themselves.

Any time a psychic looks into your future, all she sees is the effects of all the choices that you have made up until now. But if you don’t aspire to take control of your own life then all they see is much the same of what life’s like now. The future is not written in stone and this is what makes predictions sometimes flaky because you can change something, which in turn alters your future path. This is exciting news knowing that you have the free will to do as you wish, although most people don’t.

Being psychic is normal; we are all born with this ability it is just what you call a knowing, a feeling a gut instinct. Like the kind you get when you walk in the room and you either feel comfortable or not. Or when you know who’s calling on the phone before you answer it, or you feel nervous about something and so change your plans to find out that you were saved from danger or other bother. Sometimes you receive an idea or solution to a problem that has been nagging at you out of know where. Creative ideas spring to mind to bring work your way, to increase finances or to help others. The list goes on. Being psychic is called your sixth sense, we all are aware of our five senses to see, to hear, to touch, to smell, to taste, our sixth sense is our feeling and knowing sense.

Our five senses belong to the material world and keep us grounded and help us to live along with each other. Our sixth sense belongs to our higher guidance and is connected to the Divine Intelligence, God, and the Universal Power. This is within us and this is why and how we are able to heal ourselves by going within and connecting to our higher advice, guidance, God. This helps us connect to the angels and guides who love to help us along our way.

By using our intuition and trusting in its wisdom and power then we will be making far wiser choices which in turn help us to have a more creative and fulfilling life. When we use all of our senses including our sixth one then we become balanced between Heaven and Earth. Most people ignore their own intuition making poor choices based on fear of change or not following their heart and instead listening to their head and ego. This brings unhappiness catch 22 situations of problems repeating themselves and obstacles on the life path. This causes stress and affects your health bringing physical and emotional problems like high blood pressure and depression.

These people I call five sensory people they live in the same routine of life just existing and believe that fate or potluck is running their life. They are not responsible for creating anything more positive for themselves and they get miffed over old forgotten dreams that they have given up on. They stay in the same routine of life with nothing new to experience, just existing and kind of flat lining with no movement. Then there are some people who use their psychic intuition without even knowing it, these are the people who some would think are luckier than others or always come out smelling of roses. This is because they trust their own power and make decisions based on their heart and not their head or ego. Yet if you told them that they are psychic, then they would probably think you mad as a hatter.

Then there are those who realise that they can use this power to create the life and desires by trusting in their intuition. They make the correct choices by being responsible for their actions, thoughts and feelings, following their higher guidance. Living their dreams and following their heart they live their creative ability to their best ability. They not only smile on the outside by from within. They have good health and are financially secure without any major upsets. We all have problems from time to time but being in this state of being we can overcome any obstacle or negative problem that is along our path. Far quicker than if we choose to ignore it. The more that you rely on your sixth sense, the smoother your life will become.

A psychic in britain has charged the local council over 100.00 pounds to remove an entity from one of the homes belonging to the council. They agreed to the exorcism apparently because there was a murder in the home and now the new tennants are experiencing negative paranormal phenomena. Is this a flagrant misuse of our gifts as spiritual advisors and trained professional mediums.You have to decide if it is right to charge for this service, personally for myself and my wife; when we are called to these incidents which we deal with on an almost weekly basis we charge nothing except maybe for fuel costs to get there. Yes we make a living from our work but abviously that is from our demonstrations and personal readngs because of the time we give and the bills that we have to pay like everyone else - we have to charge. Are we not becoming materialistic though if we use our gifts that we were given to end someones suffering after having a suspected haunting, possession or attachment. Personally i believe that charging for this service is a missuse of our gifts and in retrospect we are charging people (divine beings) to fight evil. Also in contrast, we are not only helping the afflicted but also the spirits who remain trapped or transmuting the darkness into light. Why should we charge an exorbetent fee to release a spirit to the light or end a families suffering - did Jesus. As i said before i receive many requests for help in this area and advice costs nothing. If we can get there to help - we will and know that the universe will provide for us in other ways. So if you are a psychic and get involved in this, firstly ensure you know what you are doing and not doing it from ego or you will open a pandora’s box and secondly remember that the universe is watching.

If you really knew the truth, the pitfalls and the dangers; would you really want to become a Medium? It is unfortunate that most people who know mediums or who have been exposed to Mediums – Instantly want to become one. There seems to be a new trend in the world today and becoming a medium is like the new fashion craze and a must have accessory such as a Gucci hand bag. The truth is that you have to accept that opening to spirit – even with protection – does have its inherent dangers and will affect your life in so many ways. Ninety percent of mediums at some point have gone through a lot of suffering, heartache and so many life experiences that allow them to access and empathize with others both in this world and the next.

No matter what you do as a developing or professional medium, you have to expect a great deal of interruption from the other side and you had best learn to discern between a negative and a positive vibration. When you open up to the other side, you are there as a beacon for all to see – good and bad. Experiencing this makes you wonder if it is all worth it until you are able to successfully do the work that spirit has asked you to do. Unfortunately most individuals like the idea of being able to communicate with discarnate entities as if it were a really cool thing to do and this is why perhaps the standards of mediumship may have dropped. Consequently this has also brought with it further dangers when people that desire to develop this gift of the spirit – do so without the real divine passion and understanding that is needed.

I know this from experience due to the many individuals that I have met and the same response is a constant “I would really love to be able to do that, Its so cool but obviously I want to do it to help others.” You know instantly that the individual is not doing it for the right reasons; therefore you get the GUCCI syndrome as I prefer to call it. Let me just say that spirit decides who is to be used and how they may be used. Consequently, all that we do is aide in our development rather than having a general desire to look cool and demonstrate what would seem to be an amazing display of spiritual wonder.
