Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow
New Year's Eve. I love threshholds. Of course, every day we are standing on the edge of tomorrow. I usually do my yearly assessing and creating new intentions around Samhain, yet I'm the kind of person who also does it on a daily basis.
Especially now that I fully grasp the concept that every moment we are creating our own reality and future. If I do nothing else with MindCast, I will endeavor to convey that fact to many who have not yet grasped it, or who are on the cusp of awakening or grasping it. Tonight's show will surely reinforce the concept.
When President Obama took office, I recall reading an article based on Dante's quote, "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here." In Dante's work, it is the sign at the entrance to Hell. This author (unfortunately, I no longer know where I read it, so I can't make proper attribution) sets it forth for the realist -- that we must stop hoping and vainly wringing our hands and DO SOMETHING!
So, I moved from saying, "I hope," to "I want to," and finally to "I will," and perhaps I should move that to "I am."
I am. When I hear those words, it helps me to understand the omnipotence and omniscience attributed to "God." The task now is to help all people understand that this applies also to us -- but only for ourselves. We are as omnipotent and omniscient as we choose to be and as we allow our awareness to be.
But I realize, even as I say that, that when I write, when I learn, when I share -- it must be only to myself that I think and speak. If anyone else is listening and perhaps inspired by something I say, that is icing on the cake. I must not presume to teach.

Arctic Express & Prognostication
Arctic Express hurtling through Southern Arizona today. With the unpredictability of the weather for tomorrow (seeing as how they predicted snow, then recanted it, and now it's snowing), we have created a contingency plan for the broadcast.
1) Best case scenario - Jo'Ann & I both make it to the studio to do the show live.
2) Another possibility - County roads too scary for me, but Jo'Ann makes it to the studio, and I call in.
3) Nobody makes it and we re-run the Wiccan show from Dec. 3.
I strongly suspect that we'll all make it to the studio and have a great show!
Tomorrow's show is titled "Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow," and we will discuss psychic development and prognostication. (Prognostication derives from the Greek "pro" (before) and "gnosis" a special kind of knowing - thus "foreknowing.") We will talk about what's coming up in 2011 & 2012, and about the accuracy (or lack thereof) of the predictions out there.
I've not met Jo'Ann in person yet, but I've heard her and her husband both on the radio, and have had lengthy email correspondence with her as well as talked by phone. I'm very impressed. I first emailed Jo'Ann after hearing her husband on KJLL's Gnosis program on Saturday afternoons.
I was immediately impressed upon learning that she was one of the mediums who had worked with University of Arizona professor, Dr. Gary Schwartz. I was aware of his work with mediums in his project to find evidence of life after death. Then I got to know more about Jo'Ann's own work in psychic development, mediumship, and healing. Everything she told me made me realize this was someone I not only wanted to have on my show, but someone I wanted to get to know personally.
She's very down to earth and real about a profession many consider to be so "out there." She has been teaching an oracular development class for several years, and we will hear tomorrow night about how each of us is his or her own Oracle, not only in the sense that those gifts can be developed, but also in the sense of simply paying attention to what he see and know right now.
Join me tomorrow night and learn more about yourself and your own gifts in addition to learning what this psychic and medium has to say about the future for all of us.

MindCast 12-24-10
Christmas Eve show, Part 1, taped on Monday, 12/20 - Pagan "Christmas" traditions, Winter Solstice, & Jul
MindCast 12-17-10
AODA Grand ArchDruid John Michael Greer, and FODLA Clergy, Linda Costello talk about Druidry.
Wow! Last night's lunar eclipse coinciding with the winter solstice was a powerful end to a year of promise, and a powerful beginning to a future of impending success.
As the moon hung red in the shadow of the earth looking like an alien planet suspended above our own, I couldn't help think how jarring it must have been to those in previous ages who would have had no frame of reference for what was happening -- perhaps travelling at night or happening to look out a window expecting the landscape to be flooded with light from the full moon and discovering this unexpected darkness and an eerie visage of the moon. It was eerie to me even knowing full well what was happening. I remember St. John's discussion in Revelation of the moon turning to blood. Perhaps he had heard tales of such things happening previously and was sure that it must portend something cataclysmic -- even the end of the world!
On a more humorous note, though, I found it interesting that nearly every article I read had different dates as to when it had happened before, and some articles even showed wrong times. So with all our advanced technology, we can't get together on the details. Everyone's in a hurry these days and can't be bothered to get something accurate -- something of as little consequence as a lunar eclipse.
I taped the Christmas Eve show last night and am putting it up as a podcast today, so you can listen to it even before it's aired! It talks about Pagan "Christmas" traditions, and about the search for a new spiritual paradigm throughout the ages, illustrated by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Epic."
We are looking forward to a wonderful New Year's Eve show with psychic, medium, healer and teacher, Jo'Ann Ruhl who will have much to share on psychic development and on being a professional psychic, not only talking about her own experience but talking to potential professionals.
We have two new series coming up in the new year, one on magick, and one on healing modalities and natural health. In between there will be individual shows on Shamanism, Croning, and other topics.
Look forward to an exciting 2011!
