'An Interview With Matthew James'

It's nearly time to let you in on the fantastic interview we had with renowned Medium Matthew James. He was the first Medium to choose the description 'renowned' and very soon numerous other Mediums chose to use the word 'renowned' (Coincidence?). 

'MJ', as he points out is a one of his nicknames,  recently talked to us in great depth about his life as a visionary and mediator (He strongly dislikes the term medium and prefers the ancient term 'mediator' instead). 

We met with him in his reading room deep in the heart of 'the old country'. He returned to the UK after an absence of 15 years, in April 2017, and has already re-established himself in 'Albion Magic' as he calls it. One interesting thing he pointed out, early on in the interview, was the fact that here in the Northern Hemisphere energy is raised in a clockwise direction; circles are opened in the same direction too. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, everything is the other way round. After decades of raising energy, commencing at 12 o'clock and moving round to 6 o'clock and back round to 12 o'clock, he found it weird doing it the other way round. We didn't know that. Even water goes down the plug hole in the opposite direction to here, apparently. 

Anyway, MJ met with us in this reading room, amid shelves of crystals, occult books, incense, and dozens of decks of Oracle Cards and Tarot Cards - the most intriguing fact being he has several sets of his own oracle cards, The Light Of Truth Oracle Cards. Amazing cards, amazing artwork, amazing talent as he devised everything himself - the concept, the artwork, the meanings - everything. 

He presented us with his really old guard of cards; cards which are now really faded and worn; very dog-eared. He tells us the decks are over 30 years old and have helped him to divinate for well over 100,000 'readings' in their time. Amazing! He comes across as very 'ordinary' with no special clothes or manner, until he opens up and starts talking about the occult and divination. Then his blue eyes seem to light up and go a much lighter shade of blue than they were before. He becomes very intense and serious. His demeanour becomes something else ... and what he revealed was incredible ....

After everything that has happened to him since his first 'reading' in 1981, he has become quite a private person; rarely sharing his innermost knowledge to anyone. We found ourselves there are concentric circles of information he reveals. The more he trusts, the more he reveals. He let us know that he went totally to ground in the last years of being in Australia, due to copycats stealing his ideas and taking the credit for his own hard earned methods and knowledge. In the end he decided enough was enough. He no longer posts his 'inimitable works' on social media. He limits what he reveals. So we were very surprised when he agreed to these interviews with us.

Understanding and Applying The Law of Correspondence.

'Planetary Mandala' by Matthew James

Attractionlawof.com: Most of us have heard the old adage that our outer world is nothing more than a reflection of our inner world – as within, so without, as above, so below. Well, you may or may not realize this, but what this actually is, is The Law of Correspondence.

This is probably one of the most important Universal Laws we know of. The Law of Correspondence basically says that our current reality is a mirror of what is going on inside us. Our reality is a result of our inner most dominant thought.

If our life is filled with unhappiness, chaos or is just straight up unfulfilling, it is a because that’s how we are on the inside. If we hold negative thoughts internally, then our outer world becomes filled with turmoil and strife.

Here’s the danger in holding negative thoughts. Ultimately, the negativity becomes a self-perpetuating situation...read more>>>...

Take Action

Daily OM: There is a popular misconception that we might be able to just wish our dreams into being. Maybe on some other level of consciousness this is the case, but here on earth what we need to do is take action in our lives. Vision is an important companion to our efforts, but it can't accomplish anything all by itself.

When we focus on what we want and ask for what we want, we are initiating a conversation with the universe. Our desires, passionately defined and expressed, bring about valuable and relevant opportunities, which we then respond to by either taking or leaving them.

Many of us are afraid to step out into the world and make things happen, and so we hang back, dreaming and waiting and watching.

There are times in life when this is the right thing to do, but this phase of inaction must eventually give way to its opposite if we are to build our dreams into a reality. This can be really scary, and we may fail and struggle, but that's okay because that's what we're supposed to do...read more>>>...

The Blue Super Satellite Broadcasting Station

All over the world wide web the gullible and the naive 'light workers' are praising the current Blue Super moon. The phenomenon that comes around every 150 years when Earth's artificial satellite & prison band broadcasting station, is bigger than it normally is.  

You will find none of that misguided merriment here. The moon is not what it appears to be, and should be a point of concern, not an object of gleeful and fantastic worship and adoration.

Somehow the victorious hidden hand has enmeshed a downright lie on the 'spiritual effect' of the moon on Mankind and life. The effect of this orbiting transmitter on mankind is very negative and very destructive to our real spiritual origins and our real spiritual capabilities. It inhibits who and what we are. It doesn't assist in our spirituality at all. All the 'light workers' that worship and promote moon religions, moon spells and moon rituals are in truth backing the wrong horse so to speak.

It is deeply disturbing how people never question those that have gone before them, and adopt belief systems that are based on myth and downright deceptions. The worship of the moon is one such downright deception.

On a final note, this BS that crystals should be recharged by putting them in moonlight? Why? Crystals are earth energy ... not lunar energy or solar energy. The moon has no light of its own and it reflects the sunlight only. Actually it has light's of its own, but that is another story, as the low grade telescopic lenses sold to the world will not reveal them. But that is a revelation for another time. The best thing to do with crystals, in truth, is to take them back to where they come from .... put them underground/bury them/place them in areas with high doses of earth energy. That is the only way to perhaps recharge a crystal. But that is a myth too ... as crystal energy is infinite and doesn't run out. Its only the intention you place on the crystal that needs to be recharged.

Symbols & Psyche: Exploring Gateways to Realms of Knowledge, Power & Understanding

New Dawn Magazine: We live in a world filled with visual identifiers intended to convey meaningful information at a glance without the need for words.Heraldry, the distinctive symbols of noble warrior families, traces back to the Middle Ages, when grand tournaments were held with jousts between heavily-armoured knights wearing visors. Since individuals were unrecognisable in such gear, unique coats-of-arms were designed to identify the combatants to fans and foe alike. Taverns and inns, village blacksmiths, printers and publishers, all manner of craftsmen and merchants were as recognisable in villages and cities a thousand years ago, as they are in today’s hyper-illuminated metropolitan areas and quieter rural main streets.However, there is another level of symbolism that goes beyond the merely commercial, socially informative, or technologically useful.

And that is the universe of sacred symbols, whose resonance in the archetypal levels of the human psyche can cause spiritual change and expand consciousness beyond the confines of mundane reality. Symbols that serve as gateways to realms of knowledge, power, and understanding that inform and control life on earth, and, presumably, the after-death state of non-physical life as well. Symbols that can open the mind to communication with spiritual beings who welcome the opportunity to interact with human consciousness. Symbols that confirm to the aspiring student the nature of the truths he or she seeks.

Symbols are the alphabet of the Law of Correspondence. This universal principle acknowledges the inter-connection of all things with all other things, the existence of multiple relationships within Nature’s kaleidoscopic richness....read more>>>...

Owl - Totem Bird of the Day

The owl is the embodiment of a deep connection with intuitive knowledge & wisdom. If you have the owl as totem or power animal, you’re likely to have the ability to see 'the occult' (That which is hidden to most people). When the spirit of this totem guides you, there is the opportunity to see the true reality; beyond the illusion and beyond the deceit. The owl offers the inspiration and guidance necessary to deeply explore the unknown and gain a sense of the magic of life.

Travelling Companions

Daily OM: As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent patterns across the sky, birds are serene displays of grace and beauty.

Long a source of inspiration, birds can be messengers from the spirit realm, or a symbol of the human soul, as they cast off their earthly mooring and soar heavenward. An upturned wing, a graceful flutter, all so effortless and free...

More magnificent still is the inspiring sight of birds migrating, progressing steadily across the horizon in a solid V formation that is a singular pattern too unique to be mere chance.

Pushing steadily forward, this aerodynamic V reduces air resistance for the whole flock. With wings moving in harmony, the feathered group continues its course across the sky, covering more ground together in community than as individuals. When the bird at the front gets tired, she will move to the rear of the formation where the wind drag is lowest, and a more rested bird can take her place...read more>>>....

We Are Beings Of Light

Daily Om: We are all beings of light. Put another way, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. As children, most of us know this, but other human beings who have forgotten what they really are and who cannot help us to know ourselves train us to forget. As a result, we are led to believe that magic is not real, that our invisible playmates do not really exist, and that we are limited beings with only one earthly life to live.

There is enormous pressure to conform to this concept of ourselves and so we lose touch with our full potential, forgetting that we are beings of light.

At this time, many of us are reawakening to the truth of who we are, because we are living amidst such large-scale changes in the world. We need to access this light in order to not only survive but thrive as we shift into a new order of consciousness. As the changes around us proceed in rapid progression, we will want to be able to trust our own ability to sense what is happening and how we can best respond.

We are no longer living in a predictable world in which we can trust external authority figures and prior ideas about reality to guide us. We need to be able to access the information that will help us navigate these uncertain waters, and the ultimate authority resides in our awareness of ourselves as beings of light...read more>>>...

Evidence to Prove Moon Landings Were Real Goes Completely Missing from NASA

Waking Times: “Many alternative researchers and skeptics of government and cultural narratives have put together a substantial and rather captivating case that the moon landings were faked with the help of emerging television and film technologies.

They posit that the government hired acclaimed film director Stanley Kubrick to stage the landings by creating a convincing movie set in a secret location. Evidence to the support the idea that the video is indeed an elaborate forgery includes anomalies such as the appearance of multiple sources of light in the footage, the flag planted by Armstrong seems to be waving in an environment with no wind, there does not appear to be an impact crater from the lunar landing module, unexplainable objects appear in reflection on helmet visors, the unusual slow-motion effect of the astronauts walking on the lunar surface, the lack of visible stars in the background, and more.” ~Buck Rogers, 2015 ...read more>>>...

Staying in Pain

Daily Om: Pain comes and it goes. It is just one component to the grand cycle of life. And when experienced as such, pain can serve as an important teacher. It is when we get stuck in our pain that it becomes detrimental to our well-being and development.

If you notice that you feel closed-off, resentful, heavy-hearted, or that you try very hard to avoid being hurt again, there may be a part of you that is still stuck in pain.

We can get stuck in our pain for many reasons. As children, it was natural for us to cry, throw a tantrum, and let the experience move through us. By fully feeling our pain in this way, our emotions would wash us clean, leaving us open and available to new experiences. With age, though, we might have determined that expressing emotion was no longer appropriate, and so we developed a variety of coping strategies to deal with our discomfort...read more>>>...

Rudolf Steiner Describes the Hostile Spiritual Beings Who Feed Off Your Fear and Anxiety

Waking Times: Anxiety, depression, and fear ravage so many today, but few pause to consider that in addition to the material influences in our lives, we may be also under the influence of beings which exist in dimensions outside of our ordinary perception.

But there is much more to reality than what we can see. feel, hear, taste and touch. In fact, an accounting of the matter that makes up the universe reveals that some 73% of it is made up of dark energy, and another 23% is made up of dark matter, neither of which can we see, nor understand. Furthermore, the human eye is only capable of seeing around .0035% of the entire spectrum of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When we look into the heavens, 96% of it is invisible to us. Include in this the spiritual realms and there is an entire universe of possibilities which exists beyond our five senses.

Very few scientists today are willing to explore metaphysics to examine life beyond ordinary perception in order to make a connection between the seen and the unseen.

Rudolf Steiner, though, one of the most prolific and gifted scientists, philosophers, and esotericists of his time, devoted much of his work to the task of peering behind the veil, sharing his insight into the deeper nature of life and of the world beyond...read more>>>...

'An Interview With Matthew James'

Matthew James has been a practising Medium & Clairvoyant for over 30 years. He began undertaking 'readings' and 'live demonstrations' back in the late 1980's ... at a time when the spiritual industry was totally different to it is now.

Back in the 1980's there was almost a prohibition on spiritualism; it was a taboo subject for many people; research material wasn't readily available - local libraries and occasional new age shops were the only places to gain an insight into the subject. Information was scarce, and places to meet up with people of similar mind, were few and far between. It was seen as a huge joke, and laid Matthew James open to constant mockery for being into spirituality.

Matthew James began at a time when it wasn't 'trendy' to be a medium; it wasn't something he chose to do, indeed it was thrust upon him. He was very reluctant to pursue the direction, gaining major ridicule from family, friends and work colleagues. He was one of the first male mediums in his area at the time, and was to some degree a pioneer of the arts he now practices.

Very few, if any, of the new breed of 'psychic mediums' will be able to comprehend the 'world of spirituality' back in the 1980's without the internet and social media for connection. Nor can they really appreciate the soul destroying hard work it took back then to become accepted in the spiritual field.

Coming soon, we have an extensive series of transcripts from an interview with Matthew James explaining what it was like, for him, back then to develop as a medium. We also gain some insights into his methods of communication , because in his own words 'I'am my own guide, and always have been. No supernatural being has ever presented itself to me, and said I am your guide. I have made all the connections himself  ... so its on my own head if the info is wrong or right. I can't blame it on aninvisible guide for getting it wrong.'

Over the coming weeks we will be adding part of the transcript on here ... so watch this space.

THE SOLE REMAINING BLACK SWAN CYGNET ON STRANGER POND IN 2017

Ninety One Billion, Two Hundred Million Spirit Guides

Spirit guides don't exist. They are fantasy figures conjured up by a belief system ignorant of the truth. Ignorant of the true nature of existence.

The myriads of 'psychics' who use a spirit guide, or guides, and buy into the illusion have sadly been deceived by those who have gone before them. It's a ego trip - a short cut to delusional reality. Sorry to say it ... but those who claim to have guides and to work with guides have been well and truly had. The concept of invisible guides is totally make believe.

The idea of having supernatural helpers to guide every human being on the planet through this existence is truly far fetched. Truly many light years from the truth. Every human has apparently at least TWELVE SPIRIT GUIDES. Work out how crazy that is. There are 7.6 Billion people on the planet. That means there are Ninety-one Billion, two hundred Million spirit guides! Somehow its highly unlikely.

Its sad to read social media pages and see all the 'spiritual people' buying into the working with spirit guides, and ascended masters, and angels etc etc. There are countless sites on the net and a multi million pound/dollar industry selling this accepted spiritual myth. There are oodles of spirit artists claiming to draw fantastic spirit guides for people. Its a huge delusion. 

99% of the apparent messages and advice from Spirit Guides is likely to be the person's own imagination and their own ego. The ego loves to assume identities and misguide the self into directions that are non-threatening to the ego. The ego doesn't like hard work, and it does everything it can to ensure it has an easy time. Thus it plays actor or actress and dons the robes and mannerisms of separate parts of itself ... playing the role of guides to gain the confidence of its self.

The mind is a powerful machine and therefore apparent physical manifestations of a guide can be quite a compelling mind-vision to the vulnerable and the ignorant. The false ego, out of control, will cause many 'psychics' reading muses like this, which dispute their claims and beliefs, to react in a typical way ... denouncing this as nonsense, and completely wrong. They will know best because their false ego will ensure this truth remains denied to the psychic; who is not ready for the next stage in their 'apparent growth' ... they don't realise they are just another sheepie to wander into the new age pen and to follow all the other sheep that have gone before them. It's time for them to think for themselves and realise how ridiculous it all is.

Permission To Be Real

Daily OM: Most of us are familiar with the idea of keeping it real and have an intuitive sense about what that means. People who keep it real don't hide behind a mask to keep themselves safe from their fear of how they might be perceived. They don't present a false self in order to appear more perfect, more powerful, or more independent.

People who keep it real present themselves as they truly are, the good parts and the parts most of us would rather hide, sharing their full selves with the people who are lucky enough to know them.

Being real in this way is not an easy thing to do as we live in a culture that often shows us images of physical and material perfection. As a result, we all want to look younger, thinner, wealthier, and more successful. We are rewarded externally when we succeed at this masquerade, but people who are real remind us that, internally, we suffer...read more>>>...
