I am not sure that this goes very far
but with our understanding of the persuasive nature of consciousness it become
easy enough to anticipate a working hypothesis based on freed souls staying
about the physical plane and expressing themselves as some form of energy being
having scant energy content but plausibly interacting at rare times with the
living but mostly interacting with each other.
Vanity remains so the image presented if
any is plausibly flattering.
We have seen ample convincing tales of the
paranormal that we do not lack observation of a profoundly dense population of
spirits from past animals and humanity.
There is so much claimed that we do not wish to see as well. What is clear is that once we accept the
conjecture that soul remains and often chooses to reside close to the physical
then we are talking about an accumulation of such spiritual beings being
massively underfoot. Recall Swedenborg’s
initial visage in which he was surrounded with the souls of rats.
Thus a vision of a horde of beautiful
human spirits is a creditable emulation of the interface between the physical
and the spiritual.
The
Hidden World of Faerie
February
15, 2014
“Come fairies! Take me out of this dull
world,? For I would ride with you? Upon the wind and dance ? Upon the mountains
like a flame.” - W.B. Yeats
Time is speeding up, the sand in the hourglass
of our lives is flowing, and our everyday existence is a challenge, a struggle
in one way or the other. In our reckless and relentless pursuit of materialism,
we have become slaves to sense bound thinking and have lost touch with the
etheric world which vitalizes all of nature. We are divorcees, estranged from
the magical, wondrous realms we experienced as children.
As we grow into adult hood and take on the
conformity and allure of modern life, we tend to believe that the enchanted
meetings and marvellous moments of our childhood were just an illusion—the
creation of an infantile state of mind.
The loss of this awareness is beautifully
illustrated by the poet Wordsworth:
‘But yet I know, where’er I go, that there hath past away a glory from the
earth…..Whither it is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and
the dream?
Multiple realities
There is no such thing as ‘empty space’ per
se. No matter where we are, at home, the pub, the office, the chair that I am
sitting in typing these words, we share our space with other dimensions, other
states of being, that vibrate outside of our awareness. Because we are not hard
wired into their ‘channel’, for us they do not exist….but some of them through
sympathetic resonance are aware of us.
We don’t have a clue that anything is there in
‘empty space’, that is, until we are alerted by their presence; a fleeting
glimpse of movement on the periphery of our vision, or the feeling that
something is with us in the room… and watching. A creeping chill at the back of
our neck, or the sudden disappearance of an item that we’re using, only to have
it reappear in a place that we know we didn’t put it.
All tribal cultures have stories of ‘little
people’, and other beings that live in the air, water, rocks and trees. These
otherworld entities have many names and are usually feared by indigenous earth
based people. Sage, sweet grass, cedar and other high frequency plants are
burned in an effort to dispel negative ‘spirits’ from homes and other
dwellings.
The Fey
There have been hundreds of thousands of pages
written about the ‘fey’, the faeries of our folklore and traditions. Their
form, characteristics, lineage and tribes have been described—and yet they
remain as elusive as the breeze, but most people have a general idea of what a
faerie looks like.
In my experience, elementals have no bodies
as such; they are electromagnetic wave patterns and can appear to human
perception in any form they like, but normally one that is immediately
recognisable and familiar to the viewer.
If an Earth spirit wishes to capture our
attention, it will appear as a dwarf with his axe, or a gnome sporting a red
cap, or as in Lakota country, a little man with braids, wearing red paint and
dressed in buckskin. Each of the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space
have their own elementals attached to their frequency, and these formless
beings can be benign or malevolent depending on our personal resonance and our
agenda for approaching them.
All elemental and faerie beings are creatures
of resonance—and
when our thoughts and feelings harmonise with their resonation,
they are attracted to our energetic fields. We can entertain angels, demons and
everything in between the two polarities—it’s up to us.
The etheric, elemental realm vitalises all of
nature and for those of us who seek a living wholeness in our lives, we can
with the help of the elemental kingdom achieve it. No longer will we be
divorced from the mystical realm we knew as children and by the vision
splendid, we will be led from loneliness of spirit into the greater whole. But
we have to make an effort and seek out the hidden realm. If you have a garden
that’s a wonderful place to start, you can adopt a tree in the nearest park, or
buy a potted plant.
Without the living forces of nature nothing
would grow, and Lakota people show appreciation and gratitude for the elemental
realms by the offering of food and drink, just as we Celts have our ring and
cup marks carved in stones as vehicles to feed the faeries.
So if you have the inclination, and you want
to let the elementals know you appreciate them, make a food offering once a
day. Put a little bit of tea or coffee, whatever it is you’re drinking
and a little bit of food outside for the folk of the Hidden World of Faerie.
One love
