            <description><![CDATA[WesamE, this is a little too vague and cryptic for our tastes here at BoT.  We're an understanding buch for the most part, but we don't like being made to beat around the bush just for a berry or two.

            <description><![CDATA[This is an injured owl we found last night by the side of the road.  My husband thinks a car nicked it, so we brought it home and called our local wildlife rescue.  As it was late, they said to wait until morning to see if the bird could fly away on its own.  We set it free this morning, and it flew away to the nearest tree to rest.  Now here comes the crows.  They didn't hurt the owl, but did post sentries near to make sure it stayed on the branch and away from their nestlings.  We think it may be a rare Northern Spotted Owl.

            <title>The reason for your ever present sense of anticipation</title>
            <link>http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-18868.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[As we evolved into sentient beings it was inevitable that we became increasingly more observant of the Cosmos around us and  this awareness eventually turned inward to observe the self. Deciphering how the human mind operates on this material plane is a fascinating discourse, the intricacies of seeing what makes man tick is highly enjoyable within certain parameters.
<br />

<br />
Semantics, an issue of great importance to every sentient being and the time has come to digest  a very frank and serious monologue on the topic.  The Sublime Creator is not a passive observer on the sidelines of the unfolding Cosmos only looking, the opposite is the true reality as the  Sublime Creator actively participates in every moment this is gifted as continuous presence to us all. Who doesn't  enjoy taking the Mickey out of each other occasionally especially the Creator who is the Master of taking the p*ss out on all of us when the opportunity often arises but only for a good laugh not to deceive.
<br />

<br />
The following paragraph is directed to those who already have an idea of where this is going and no more needs to be explained on those particulars. The clearest way for me to describe this to you is the Sublime Creator is seeking a huge favor from all of you. The Creator requests that you swing everything back so the same meaning is understood by all sentient beings on Earth which basically means would you be so kind as to end the semantic games. A particular good starting point would be the one that, how do I describe it , you know the one that's written everywhere and needs to be set free. Very good idea to start rolling back the world-wide saturation on the wrong meaning of those X's. Remember humor is the language of the Creator but I wouldn't necessarily want to be the ultimate recipient of one of the Sublime Creators p*ss takings at a very specific particular point in time, just for a good laugh.

            <description><![CDATA[I  was told  by a lady who was into the old fashioned remedies for health... that in the old days.. as well as the cod liver oil.. it was the old bi carb.. the Eno..   http://www.gsk.com.au/products_consumer-healthcare-products_detail.aspx?view=63
<br />
 that was given to maintain health.  She too mentioned how disease only functions in an acid environment.. 
<br />

<br />
http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/cancer/nutrition/questions/acid-balance-in-the-body-and-cancer.htm
<br />

<br />
 so the bi-carb helps maintain a healthy balance...

<br />

<br />

<br />
So... sadly these days in our  high protein .. low carb diets... we create an acidic environment.

<br />

<br />

<br />
Maybe just do an Atkin's inspired diet for a short term to help eliminate Candida type infestations and other negative fungal infestations that are now known to promote arthritis and many other diseases...

            <title>Family</title>
            <link>http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-18783.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I went to a beautiful wedding.  My first husband's sister was the bride.  Let me give you a little background to this.
<br />
Ten years ago Dave &amp; I told his Mum that we were divorcing.  She just said to me, &quot;You're not getting rid of us that easily!&quot;.  Thank goodness for that.  Dave &amp; I were best friends for nine years, whether we were together, single or marrying other people.  The he met Jade and stopped speaking to me, ending our friendship in a bizarre, nasty and lying e-mail.
<br />
The rest of Dave's family though, true to their word, have always been my family too.  My children who are not related to them at all, call Dave's Mum &quot;Nanna&quot; and were both in the bridal party the other weekend...the only kids to be involved.  My second husband (we are also divorced but are together-ish - he lives in another town for work) is always welcome at their get togethers as well and came to the wedding.  
<br />
I cannot begin to paint a picture of the dynamics in this group.  Yes they fight sometimes but they are close and have <em>fun</em>!! (And arguing usually stems from caring, either about the person or what they think.)  There are her five children, their partners, cousins, half-this, step-that, etc. ...and we have all been through a <em>lot</em>.  Maybe that is why we appreciate eachother &amp; what we have so much.  How lucky am I?
<br />

<br />
Now on the other side of the pendulum...
<br />
Kathryn is twelve and has raised herself.  She is friendly with my kids but the reason she is here all of the time is so that she can feel safe and wanted.  She does not own a pair of socks, shorts or a hat.  Her parents spend any money from the govt. on acohol, cigarettes and drugs...oh, and high tech. games.  They have <em>nothing</em> else.  They <em>do</em> nothing else.  Kathryn had never heard the word &quot;cavity&quot; until yesterday.  She gets into their appartment by the key left in the lock on the <em>outside</em> of the door.  Go figure.
<br />
She is severely asthmatic but she always smells <em>strongly</em> of her parent's smoke.  Kathryn's parents do not care where she is, when she's out or who she's with.  They don't even ask.  
<br />
This kid is lacking in some social graces, which is understandable as she was not brought up with any.  Behind the protective wall she has around herself Kathryn is smart, caring, artistic, inventive and determined.  Who would not want a kid like that?
<br />

<br />
It feels like I should end this with some insightful words on what family is.  Everything I can think of sounds cliche, corny or like it's out of a Disney matinee.  
<br />
Think about the people in your life.  Those you consider family, reated or not...<span style="text-decoration: underline">treasure them</span>.
<br />

            <title>HEADACHES !!!!!</title>
            <link>http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-18698.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I suffered from migrains, common headaches, stress headaches, headaches from my reallllly long hair, and headaches from allergies like mold and perfume as well as from bright light. 
<br />
My eyes are very light sensative, got that from my dad, he was as well.
<br />

<br />
When I learned how to do a Shamanic journey into what some called altered reality, (I have never figured what is altered about it), one of the first things I did was to do a journey with the intention of seeing what was causing my headaches. I found them to be a combination of factors. I &quot;saw&quot; not only the physical causes like allergies, but WHY I was allergic, and the hormonal causes, and what as causing the stress (like I didnt know), I also &quot;saw&quot; what was ailing my spirit and causing it to be &quot;ill&quot; as well and that also led to headaches.
<br />

<br />
Next I asked to be shown how to resolve the issues that were causing my pain, both the physical and the spirit.
<br />
It took some time to bring about the necessary changes like a different job, cutting my hair(sooo shocking to some people!), completly changing my diet and becoming  much more active in my spiritual learnig and practice as well as dealig with some past  life issues.
<br />
 I eat almost nothing premade or prepackaged, artificial ANYTHING is really bad for the body and is the cause of may physical afflictions from minor ones to major like cancer and MS. 
<br />

<br />
Once I removed many of the spirit causes I found that i was no longer nearly as sensative to allergans or light and that greatly lessoned my headaches. Changing my diet helped resolve the rest ad I very seldom have a headache anymore.
<br />

<br />
Many questions can be answered by using the method of journey with the question phrased properly.
<br />
