Autumn bounty! We pulled in the last of the third harvest this morning: tomatoes, a couple of white eggplant, and the last of the corn which will go to our growing farmfowl population. The weather was glorious -- sunny, gorgeous October blue skies, and upper 60's.
I feel victorious today. I landed the first sponsorship account for MindCast. Once I got over my fear of cold-calling (thanks to some great coaching from KJLL's media director, Christopher Lidberg), it was actually fun! The reaction to the MindCast idea has been very warm -- people are getting excited!
I mentioned Jo'Ann Ruhl, professional psychic and medium, in my last post. She will be on AM 1330 on Gnosis this Saturday at 3 pm doing a special Samhain (Sow'en) show. It can also be live-streamed at www.tucsonsjolt.com from any web browser other than Firefox. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think! She will be MindCast's guest on New Year's Eve talking about oracles, psychics, and prognostication. Jo'Ann has taught a class on psychic development for the last 7 years, and is well known as an astrologer and energy healer as well.
I am postponing the MindCast debut for a week for several practical reasons. 1) I'm going to have an emergency tooth extraction next week and I'm not sure how much I'll feel like talking come Friday. 2) It will give me more time to sew up some sponsorship deals, and 3) it will give the KJLL production guys a chance to breathe after the election before jumping in to do our ads.
So tune in on Friday, Nov. 12th at 6 pm. We will talk about experiences "beyond the veil." Email us at mindcast1330@gmail.com, or call live during the broadcast (520-529-3508) to share your own story.

Welcome to MindCast!
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 5
Horatio was a realist; he leaned toward a steady diet of ethics and and logic. But Hamlet had just had a conversation with his dead father. Hamlet and Horatio were both students at the University of Wittenberg; the same institution that nurtured Horatio's realism also harbored the famous Dr. Faustus who consorted with demons. (enotes.hamlet)
How do two people who have the same background and education end up with such different viewpoints? Personal experience. A whispered voice might have been easily dismissed if Hamlet could not say whether it was guilt or conscience or imagination, but Hamlet's dead father had appeared to him as a free-floating, full-torso, vaporous apparition, not just a voice in his head. Little was left to interpretation. He was given information that he had no other way of knowing.
Such things -- visions, psychic phenomena, apparitions, spirits -- are beyond the physical. Some people don't "believe" in such things. I don't think it has to do with belief; I call it experience, awareness, consciousness.
A very dear friend of mine told me once, "Spirituality is the art of noticing." People can be made to believe anything if it strikes their emotions just right. But to actually experience the metaphysical in a way that cannot be denied, opens ones eyes to see in a way that can't be unseen.
To see, to know, to have experienced. These bring a kind of wisdom which, when combined with energy, brings power. Experiences shared and explained bring others to desire gnosis -- authentic knowledge which brings personal light and understanding. To plant the seed that will ultimately generate the fruit of change in accordance with will -- that is MindCast.
