We (LEPP) organized a lecture on the science of 'Angels and Demons' at the Tompkins County Public Library in Ithaca, NY. 55 people came!
Here I use a Dilbert cartoon to explain the science.
Hello Dear Friends and Family
You may have been wondering what has been going on with our very hostile and unkind neighbour as of late...well what a story this is for you all.
The last time the Mediators came to see us (and him) individually nearly two weeks ago I got very upset about his accusations and I do believe I soaked up his hate like a sponge . He had made more lies up, this time saying that I couldnt even drive (well you know thats not true) and even that in 1997...yes 1997..I allowed visitors to park on his lawn!!! DEFINATELY not true. Whilst they then went to see him with our questions such as "why does he hate us so much?" and DO excuse my language "Why does he call us his fucking bastard neighbours when after all we have the respect and love from everyone else where we live" and you know how pretty our home and garden is dears and other questions such as that, and that all we asked was for him to completely leave us alone, I sat in our garden and could hear him shouting and screaming at the top of his voice and I looked at our pretty garden and I wept. The tears fell from my eyes.
All our hard work...our plans...our designing of beauty and then I made a decision: He could have the drive, the footpath and keep his negative hate ready for the next neighbours who maybe would not keep the peace like Fluffy & myself: I decided to LEAVE our home.
The next few days as I became even more unwell with it all I looked at our home and garden...I mean think of the photos we have put on here for you: our Egyptian Temple of Isis...the garden Room...Our fitted wardrobes in the spare room...our Nubian Bathroom that cost thousands of pounds for Fluffy to do these things. We had spent our life savings to create a happy home to last us all our days.and I had decided to move?
I spoke long and hard with my friend Sandy in Wales and we decided that I had to do the greatest spiritual banishment I had ever done in my life. I was going to do this on the night of the Full moon which was Tuesday or even the Eve, Monday.
Last Sunday arrived. I could hear the troll on the other side of the fence...exactly the other side. He was picking up sticks, snapping them in two and then just chucking them down like someone possessed...completely bewildered. And there was I delicately dead heading a standard rose trying to think of Love and Beauty when suddenly a force came upon me...
Now this is the really powerful bit: I threw down my secaters and stood there facing the fence.the wind suddenly came from nowhere as it blew back my hair and clothing (it had been still seconds earlier, not even a breeze) and then I mentally did it:
I BANISHED HIM! I did...I BANISHED HIM and ALL his NEGATIVITY. I Banished his hate and all his vile thoughts and basically it was a case of "GO...BEGONE and be replaced here with peaceful and gentle people"
The wind died down and it was a case of Blessed Be, It is finished and my work was done. I then continued to tend the garden. It was like something out of a movie and I know it sounds all very dramatic, this was how it was. The following evening was the eve of the full moon.
The eve of the full moon. 6pm: Our other neighbour Stanley came to see us. He had received a telephone call from Mr Troll saying that when he saw us again that if he could tell us that he doesnt mind us parking where we do..(gulp) and that his dog had missed Fluffy?? (GULP!!)
7pm: I am on the telephone to Sandy telling her about my banishing the night before when the doorbell rang...Fluffy went to the door and opened it , I walked down the hall still holding the telephone as the TROLL FALLS IN.drunk...incoherant...with his dog on a lead and muttering "Oh he has missed you" relating to the dog. He was so drunk you couldnt tell much but suddenly he stretched out his hand to mine and took me by the hand!!! I took him by the hand too then he took fluffy by the hand...this was somehow his way of saying `sorry`. I backed up a few steps and he wanted to know where I had gone.
I went back into the garden room and suddenly broke down in tears..I was simply in shock and so was Sandy as she heard the whole thing.
Fluffy got mr Troll to leave, he may have fallen into the porch but certainly no further...
The next morning Stanley telephoned us again. He had more news. After Mr Troll had been to us he went two door up the road to another neighbour he had not spoken to ever since he and his wife moved in , oh it must have been ten years ago..no never spoken once. Mr Troll had only APOLOGIZED to him for EVERYTHING and for all the...wait for it..TROUBLE HE HAS CAUSED!!!!!!!!
My GOD!!!!
So you know whats happened dont you dears? When I banished him...I really DID banish all his nastiness and somewhere along the line he felt he had to say how sorry he was....
Even the mediators sent an e mail saying that he has called them to say he has apologized and , is this really true? For they probably cant quite understand why Dr Jeckyll turned into Mr Hyde and now...had turned back into Dr Jeckyll again.
You could say...aargh but for how long? Will he turn back again? Or did he perhaps have some council letter saying that if he doesnt stop his anti social behaviour that he is made to leave?
My banishment story is become well known and everyone believes that it is all about my waxing moon banishment that I did on Sunday and on the very next evening, not 24 hours later....peace came, negativity left and I felt that since April 30th when it all started, that a weight was lifted.
On the Eve of the full Moon. And you know what I am like for doing my full moon rituals.
Sadly it did affect my health and I have been very sick this week and after all what can you expect but today I feel much better and will do some gardening. I have had blood tests too but I am not worried on that score. I had them due to being so exhausted..more tired than I have ever felt in my life as though my life source was being sucked out of me.
And now...that feeling is lifted and the even better news is:
I have decided: We Will nOT be leaving our beautiful home!
This photo is taken in the garden room of our pretty cherub in front of our striking canna lily which happens to be called `Lucifer` and so Fluffy thought of the Title for this photo:
An Angel of Light Placating the Devil
Thought for the Day:
The Universe DOES answer our Prayers...just when we think a Miracle wont happen: It Does. Never stop believing that there are powers so strong as to help us all with our Lives. Never stop believing in the Universal powers within ourselves. We cAN move mountains...
There thats about five thoughts for today...
Heres to the Future....
Love and Blessings to you oxo
Emperor Hadrian built this for the intention of using it as a mausoleum for him and his family. Later, popes converted it to a castle, used it as a fortress, prison and now a museum. Giordano Bruno (whose statue is in Campo de Fiori) was imprisoned here There is an elevated passageway (Pasetto di Borgo) which links it to the Vatican City.
In Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, this is the last existing church of the Illuminati.
