Friday the 13 is a day many people would put off to do or go places because of possible bad luck or fear of superstition to happen.

What did you do that you may have had a superstition to happen?

What do you think Friday the 13th really means in your opinion?

Did you know buildings will skip posting a floor 13 because of bad luck?

You will enjoy more on the number 13 on this link inside Everyspirit.com I put together.

Very interesting.

On wikapedia it says in text this:
The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga  meaning "Friday" and triskaidekaphobia (or paraskevidekatriaphobia) being a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen") attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning "fear"). The word was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.

What they are and what they do are two separate things.

What are they or look like?

In Ojibwa (Chippewa) culture, a dream catcher (or dream catcher;
Ojibwe asabikeshiinh, the inanimate form of the word for "spider" or
bawaajige nagwaagan meaning "dream snare") is a hand made object based
on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web.

The dream
catcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items such as
feathers and beads.

What do they do?

It's recommended to hang the dream catcher above someone sleeping to
guard against bad dreams.

Good dreams pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper.
Good dreams pass through the "center hole" to the sleeping person.

The bad dreams are trapped in the web, where they perish in the light of dawn."

Dream Catcher Stories

The Dream catcher Story Long ago in the ancient world of the Ojibwe Nation, the Clans were all located in one general area of that place known as Turtle Island.

This is the way that the old Ojibwe storytellers say how Asibikaashi (Spider Woman) helped Wanabozhoo bring giizis (sun) back to the people.

To this day, Asibikaashi will build her special lodge before dawn.

If you are awake at dawn, as you should be, look for her lodge and you will see this miracle of how she captured the sunrise as the light sparkles on the dew which is gathered there.

Asibikaasi took care of her children, the people of the land, and she continues to do so to this day.

When the Ojibwe Nation dispersed to the four corners of North America, to fill a prophecy, Asibikaashi had a difficult time making her journey to all those cradle boards, so the mothers, sisters, & Nokomis (grandmothers) took up the practice of weaving the magical webs for the new babies using willow hoops and sinew or cordage made from plants.

It is in the shape of a circle to represent how giizis travels each day across the sky.

The dream catcher will filter out all the bad bawedjigewin (dreams) & allow only good thoughts to enter into our minds when we are just abinooji.

You will see a small hole in the center of each dream catcher where those good bawadjige may come through.

With the first rays of sunlight, the bad dreams would perish.

When we see little asibikaashi, we should not fear her, but instead respect and protect her.

In honor of their origin, the number of points where the web connected to the hoop numbered 8 for Spider Woman's eight legs or 7 for the Seven Prophecies.

It was traditional to put a feather in the center of the dream catcher; it means breath, or air. It is essential for life.

A baby watching the air playing with the feather on her cradle board was entertained while also being given a lesson on the importance of good air.

This lesson comes forward in the way that the feather of the owl is kept for wisdom (a woman's feather) & the eagle feather is kept for courage (a man's feather).

This is not to say that the use of each is restricted by gender, but that to use the feather each is aware of the gender properties she/he is invoking. (Indian people, in general, are very specific about gender roles and identity.)

The use of gem stones, as we do in the ones we make for sale, is not something that was done by the old ones.

Government laws have forbidden the sale of feathers from our sacred birds, so using four gem stones, to represent the four directions, and the stones used by western nations were substituted by us.

The woven dream catchers of adults do not use feathers.

Dream catchers made of willow and sinew are for children, and they are not meant to last.

Eventually the willow dries out and the tension of the sinew collapses the dream catcher.

That's supposed to happen.

It belies the temporary-ness of youth.

Adults should use dream catchers of woven fiber which is made up to reflect their adult "dreams."

It is also customary in many parts of Canada and the Northeastern U.S. to have the dream catchers be a tear-drop/snow shoe shape.

Dream Catcher Information is In Everyspirit too!

What do you guys think? As everything is moving faster are we heading towards the climax or will everything just keep going....over and over again. Life after life. Always learning.

On a side note. If you have a chance,

Well worth the introspection it will cause.

Here are some Psychic games to check out:

Here are some other non psychic games to play:

NON psychic game to play

It is an interesting idea, maybe the energy released in the acts allows you to strengthen your own systems.

What do you guys think?

Is the extreme boost for choosing the dark side worth the cost?

It will come home to them

Chickens return to their roost

They will get what's coming to them

The meaning is that evil is returned to the wrong-doer and they will eventually suffer for what they did.

This, in essence is the Law of Karma. That we receive what we give. That all our actions reflect back upon us, either in this world or in the subsequent ones.

How does Karma work?

Karma is based on logic. It is an unavoidable consequence of our creations. When we create anything, we also create other things which might not be what we intended.

If I get angry and with another harm, then I create a state in which I am harming another and another is harmed. I create a state in which I am happy with the suffering of another. But also create a state in which another is unhappy and suffering. I create a state in which I am joyful that my enemy is justly harmed. And a state in which another is resentful and angry that they have been wrongly treated.

This relates to the GAMES of life. In whichever game we play certain causes and effects arise. And certain rules are required.

So when we create anything, whether a good intention or a bad one, other side-effects are necessarily produced.

Imagine a world where no one harmed another in any way. And I harm another. I create someone who harms another and one who is harmed. This did not exist before. But now the world contains suffering.

And in the present life, or in subsequent ones, there are those who suffer and those who harm. And I, and others, play all these roles.

In the beginning before harm was created, it was impossible to suffer. But when I do harm then suffering exists to my detriment.

Of course, I am not alone, and others who create harm also create suffering and we continue to play our games in a world with suffering.

Now after many aeons, we wonder why there is suffering. And why there is harm. Yet this is the result of our own creations.

The present

Now, after many lifetimes of creating harm and consequentially suffering, we live in a world with both. This is our Karma and this is the Law of Karma.

Other examples

When we create pity, for example, we also create those who are pitied. When we create help, we also create those who are in a bad way and need our help. The roads to creating suffering are many

Karma is now

We create our Karma now, at this second. And we continue out of habit to create bad and good Karma. Karma does not exist lurking in the past as a thing to punish or reward us, but exists and is created now, newly, in every second. We can create Karma with supposedly good intentions, as mentioned previously.

The resolution

When we think, act and speak with that which produces good for all, then we begin to resolve the issue of Karma. (That is the unwanted issue. Logically Karma always follows.) In some way we need to change our habits and thinking and create Karma which makes a better existence. But what is this thinking.

Back to Karma

When we wish to be powerful, we necessarily create those who are weak. When we wish to be master, we create slavery. These may not be our intentions, but what we create - what we cause - has certain unavoidable effects which rebound upon us all. (Because we have all created the harm.)

We can resolve the issue by thinking, acting and speaking such that the consequences are what we would also accept ourselves.

We may wish to be master, but we might not want to be a slave. By wishing to be master we unavoidably create the state of slave for ourselves, and those we love.

Creating 'good' Karma

However when we intend to understand, then we create understanding and that which is understood. These may be desirable states.

When we wish others well, then we create the state of being wished well. Therefore, this may be acceptable to all.

When we create the state of being happy, we also create, the state of being happy (the same?) which is acceptable to all.

When we create the state of respecting all we also create the state of being respected which is acceptable to all.

Acceptable to all

Actually, this means acceptable to us in all its forms. We need to create states that are acceptable to us in all their forms. Actually, the so called 'Golden Rule' is a rule for creating good karma. It has never been expressed properly, but it is the rule, 'Do to others what you would like them to do to you.' We need to capture the idea of the law rather to be bothered by its wording.

The Great Problem

Although I gave examples of understanding, respecting, being happy,love, etc, these are not without pitfalls.

When we create understanding, we also create misunderstanding. When we create love,   we also create hate.

Yet if we create understanding, or seeking understanding. Perhaps being interested then if we and others adopt this thinking, with awareness of its opposite, then we can avoid the negative consequences.

With understanding the negative is misunderstanding. This is probably less severe than the negative of happyness (unhappyness). For this reason, although the pursuit of happyness good, it is often avoided because of the power of its negative.

Love, too, has the opposite of being unloved. And although loving is good, it does have a powerful negative.

For this reason, being interested or understanding can be more powerful as an intention.

The greatest negative

This may be the desire for perfection. When we desire perfection, we find it hard to respect or love others. We can never attain this desire. Nothing is perfect. So we create disillusionment and the desire for something better, when we may already have the best we can achieve. acceptance, can therefore be a powerful force in creating good Karma.

Acceptance

I will not say much about acceptance and the possible negatives. Except to say that here we refer to acceptance as a temporary state, and as a counter to that great negative perfection.

Acceptance means the observation of what is, rather than what could or might be. It means observing the world and existence without thought or prejudice. To fearlessly observe what exists. This also means beingness.

The last solution

The ultimate solution is the understanding of the world in the fullest sense. It is a transcendence of the world.

When we postulate existance, we also postulate non-existance. This implies change. Where there is good, and there is change, there is the less good. (But alsobetter). Where our postulation leads to existance, there is cause and effect. In this way, the whole nature of the physical world in which we live comes into existence. And so does the law of karma.

When we can accept all of this with understanding then we resolve the issue.

The mundane solution

We seek to understand and be interested, and accept what is. We act in ways that lead to results acceptable to us, in all their forms.

Confusion

We resolve confusion by taking one thing at a time and ignoring others. We control what we can control, and ignore, temporarily, what we cannot control. In resolving the issue of Karma we learn about acceptance and avoid perfection. We cannot resolve the whole issue at once, nor can we do what is perfect. We might choose to be loving, even though there are possible serious side-effects. We do this with understanding and change the negative into the positive and wholesome.

Resolving the issue of Karma can appearconfusing. We resolve this issue by doing one thing at a time.

Communication

Communication is a way of obtaining understanding. We understand by talking, listening, asking questions, looking and listening. We learn to BE the other person. And we resolve conflict through understanding. We know that desiring and seeking perfection is a great evil.

Alien Abduction Day March 20th is Saturday 2010. I was reading throught the web and came across a few web sites to share.

Looks like people celebrate this day as a holiday. The day they hope to be abducted, visited or have sightings of a UFO and or Alien.

Have I seen anything of a UFO? Not that I can recall my self personally.

Crop circles get my attention and I also feel there is an energy source in them. I will have to personally go to a real crop circle and see what they hold from a psychic view in person. That sounds interesting indeed.

People really take UFO's serious so why not see what it's all about and learn what people have seen or gone through.

Feel free to share your experiences and or comments here but you have to log in first. ok.

****This one is about Alien Abduction Day March 20th. Let's celebrate!

How do you celebrate this day?

---Maybe simple BBQ or family gathering and share UFO happenings.

---Movies. Example: Close Encounters of 3rd kind, Men in Black, Fire in the Sky, Signs, Taken, War of the Worlds, Contact,

---Take a trip to: Roswell, New Mexico 4301 North Main Street, Roswell, NM 88201(505) 623-0122.
