Paranormal Activity: Reality or Hallucination?

Someone breathes upon my neck and whispers words of Love...I turn around to reply him when I behold the ethereal Excellency fading in the thin air...

Seeing, sensing and smelling entities is considered, by common minds, as hallucinatory, unreal, sinful or even demonic.
Hearing spirits serves as grounds to commit a person in a mental institution, as a schizophrenic.
The ability to know the future is regarded as charlatanism. To heal people through Reiki can be viewed, by many, as some sort of sham.
Reaching enlightenment through Yoga and Tantrism is looked at with scepticism and seen as militating against the Creator of all things.

Reality presupposes truth and it is linked to corporality, suggesting therefore that only which is tangible can be viewed as being real or true.
Hallucination supposes falsity and it is related to the absence of materiality; proposing consequently that clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear sensing), clairalience (clear smelling), clairgustance (clear tasting), claircognizance (clear knowing), for example, result from mental disorders or represent a response to drugs; simply because science hasn’t been able to bring itself to explain, or measure, such experiences.
Just because a specific Truth is reached by consensus it doesn’t make it necessarily true.

“Veritas est adequatio intellectus et rei”

(Truth is the conformity of the intellect to the things)

Thomas Aquinas

God is not tangible; should we therefore yield to the preposterous idea that He is not real/true?
Jesus, exempli gratia, had the ability to heal people, to see the future, to read the hearts of Men, to see and hear demons...was he delusional, schizophrenic or was he an example of what the human mind can do (upon optimisation of its brain capabilities)?
Many people have encounters with Malakhim; are they hallucinating? Many of them are tangible, however their actions do not fit “normal experience”, does that mean they are not true/real?

Schizophrenia: any of a group of psychotic disorders characterized by progressive deterioration of the personality, withdrawal from reality, hallucinations, delusions, social apathy, emotional instability. 
This is the official definition of a disorder that remains a true mystery.
However, in my opinion, schizophrenia results from the lack of competence to deal with one’s Mediumship.

In your opinion, are paranormal activities real or hallucinational?

The Revolution of Colours

Image borrowed from Here

When I was a little kid colours had simple names: blue, dark blue, light blue; green, dark green, light green; brown, light brown; white, black, red, burgundy, purple etc.
Nowadays, colours are anything but simple.

You wish to buy a car and when the times comes to choose a colour you are confronted with:
Obsidian and Emerald Black: what is the bloody difference? A friend (in the car industry) offered me the following explanation – the obsidian black under the shade it is black, under the sun it is reddish; the emerald black under the shade is black and under the sun is greenish. This is acceptable but then you have Piano, Platinum and Basalt black that are all equal.
Meteor Grey and GT Silver: they seem the same old grey to me.
Mystic Red: what could it be so mystical about red?
Porsche has even come up with Porsche racing Green...

You wish to paint a wall at your house/flat and things get even more confusing:
Jamaican Pepper: according to the above chart this refers to the colour Sage.
Moon Pepper: something along the lines of Moss Green or Emerald.
Cinnamon: referring to Taupe.
Ginger: meaning Marigold.
Vanilla: signifying Pumpkin.
Cassia: equivalent to Celery.
Elephant Ear Grey: plain grey. But I have a question: is the elephant’s ear different from the rest of its grey body?

Inspired by the trend of coming up with new colour names, I’ve created a few of my own:Slut Inspiration = white.

• Dental McCartney = Ivory.
• Wonder Ebony = black. 
• Gypsy Cloud = grey.
• Hepatitis Amber = yellow.
• African Aurora = orange.
• I-was-Dumped Blue = pale blue.
• Hemp Trade = green. 
• Twilight Red = dark red.
• Idiocy Chic = pink. 
• Mars Bar = brown.

The spirit of Revolution is ravishing the world and not even colours are immune to it.

A Quote on Celibacy and Your Thoughts on it

Portrait of French Consul Le Blond by Rosalba Carriera

Original Text

"The philosophy of celibacy for the common spirits ends here. In the eyes of those who measure things and men through their social utility only; that kind of domestic insulation of priesthood, that indirect abjuration of the purest and most sacred affections, those of family; is condemned by some as adverse to the interest of nations, as moral and politically detrimental, and defended by others as utile and moral.

God forbid me from debating a matter so often disputed, so often exhausted by those who know the science of the world and by those who know the science of Heaven! I, on my part, feeble arguer, have only thought of celibacy in the light of sentiment and under the influence of singular impression that, since green age, formed in me the idea of irremediable solitude of the soul to which the church has condemned its ministers, some sort of spiritual amputation, in which dies the hope for the priest of completing his existence on Earth. 

Imagine all the joys, all the consolations that heavenly imagery and the living belief can generate, and you will find that these do not supply the sad vacuum left by the isolation of the heart.

Grant passions all the ardour you can, confer pleasures a thousand times more intensity, consent the senses maximum energy and convert the world into paradise; yet take woman away from it, and the world will be a melancholic desert; its delights will be nothing more than a prelude to tedium.” 

(in Eurico by Alexandre Herculano)

What do you think: is celibacy a "spiritual amputation"?

Comment: The Portrait of a Woman

Portrait of a Woman by Károly Brocky

Woman: an adult female human; a female servant or subordinate; a wife; jezebel, a female lover or sweetheart. 

Marianismo: the female counterpart to "machismo,". It is the ideal of true femininity - being modest, virtuous, sexually abstinent until marriage and then being faithful and subordinate to their husbands. 

As we have seen (in “Comment: the Portrait of a Macho”), word definitions do not depict the elaborateness of being a man/macho and the same occurs when it comes to being a woman/mariana.

The journey from Femalehood to Womanhood is, often, rather complex and this intricacy is what lexicons fail in exposing:

One, virginity is over-rated (no, I do not agree with teenagers having sex – in my opinion, female virginity is to be offered rather later than sooner, for sex is an act that requires maturity and ethics [yes…you read it correctly]). If one chooses to remain a virgin until marriage, it’s fine; however when Man tries to use virginity as a means of control and power, under the flag of “ideal of true femininity” then I might have a problem with it.

Two, not all women make good wives and/or mothers. The fact that one is born with female genitalia doesn’t automatically make her a good mother; in fact, there are women who simply are not cut out for bearing children, for moulding infants. Not to mention being a wife: a task of extreme patience, dedication, commitment and love for being repetitive. 

Three, women are the first ones to attack women – so much for kindness, faithfulness and loyalty. Sometimes, I’d swear women are jealous of whores. I mean, shouldn’t they be compassioned enough to understand that a harlot suffers unimaginable things and that many did not become sex-traders by choice? And if they did, shouldn’t other women comprehend that people should do whatever they love best?

Four, PMS is not a permit to go crazy; it does not grant women the right to have systematic mood swings and put on that face like “I am making the world a favour for existing”. Menstruation is not a green card to be rude to others either; it is only a period of renewal, and thus women should rejoice, not attack others (specially men). 

Five, oestrogen should not dominate the female brain. The inability to make use of Reason and female despotism should not be blamed on hormones.

Six, women must stop being the emblem of irrationality. It is so tacky when they nag their husbands/partners for no apparent reason; when they pointlessly attack their partners’ friends/acquaintances; and specially when they vaginalise their way up the corporate ladder. 

Seven, faking orgasms is not equivalent to being generous, patient or kind; doing it means deceiving the partner, perpetuating its own (or the lover’s) bad sexual performance, annulling and voiding oneself and yielding to illusion. 

I am extremely demanding of women, I confess. But I am so because I acknowledge in them the role and responsibility of shaping the future of mankind. 

When women, in general, stop being Females only and upgrade to being Feminae then...

...The Portrait of a Woman will be restored to its glory.
