The Guide for the Lost Soul
By Sheldon

Have you lost your faith in religion, government and the economy...even some sports? You do have a place to turn! Within!

First of all, you need to set aside judgments and preconceptions and read this with an open mind. This is some information that has come from higher authorities who shall remain nameless.

That’s right guys. Women have had an advantage of inner strength for way too long. It’s time you let go of your dependence on external things and put some stock into your own self. I’m talking your mind, body and spirit, here. These are not just segments of your being…this is the whole package! It’s your own holy trinity. The body is your connection with the Earth. It needs water and other elements to sustain life. The better the input, the better the output. Garbage in, garbage out. You have to be physical in human life, so be the best speci-man you can be. If you sit around and let yourself turn into a big tub of goo, no one will want to be around you. It’s all about balance…and aren’t we out of that! I’ve seen a lot of guys down at the gym trying to lose weight and get in shape but it’s not enough to lift a few weights and do some cardio…it takes a lifestyle change that eliminates the shit that got you fat in the first place. Okay, some of you don’t have anything to lose and you might be in great shape but are you really healthy? Do you get sick from time to time? Do you have accidents with any regularity? Do you get into fights? If so, then you are out of harmony with your body and the Earth Plane. Yoga helps balance your physical awareness but if you smoke or drink or eat lots of meat, you’re destroying the very balance your working on. I could do a rant on the evils of those poisons, but that’s another story for another time. I’m not Puritanical, believe me. I’ve indulged a few things of the material plane and have enjoyed them. I’m am human but I’m working on super-human status. It takes ridding yourself of as many toxins as possible and living a natural existence close to nature.

Your mind is as the air, always spinning and turning, coming up with new ways to fix things or make more money or take care of business…or get in some chick’s pants. In that respect, it connects to a primal sexual impulse. But do you know where the urge to seek out the best woman comes from? In prehistory, men sought a woman to give him children, so he wanted a female who could do the functions of motherhood while being attractive and desirous to the eye.

Procreation isn’t that big of an issue these days, since many women don’t want to have kids and there’s too much over-population, anyway. So perhaps it’s time we adjusted our methods by which we determine compatibility. Looking at her ass or her tits doesn’t tell you if she’d be into Vin Deisel’s new movie or if she’d watch a football game with you. My wife would do both, in a heartbeat. You have to go for the personality and the commonality. If you argue about religion or politics, it usually ends badly…which is why most people won’t discuss them.

Communication is the most important attribute in a relationship because it’s what gives you the idea that you have things in common. I hate hearing guys say, “Hey, I’m in love with that babe over there,” when they haven’t even heard them speak or listened to anything they were interested in. The Shallow Hal is in many guys and it needs to go…really guys. You don’t have to turn into a wimpy lame-o. You can be a man and still incorporate sensitivity and understanding. It what doctors have done for ages but don’t get me started on doctors…especially the drug pushers who prescribe one medication for some ailment that requires a second drug to cure the side-effects of the first. But that’s really the drug companies doing. You don’t get that with natural remedies like herbs. You have to think about the chain that is formed and the original sources of the drugs.

Many remedies come from nature…the very thing our civilization is destroying. Shamans in Central American are banding together to prevent corporate drug companies from coming in, researching their flora and raping their forests and fields for drugs. In fact, it’s one of the reasons certain herbals are illegal, so the pharmaceutical companies can reap the financial rewards. The FDA is a federal agency designed to keep those with the money in power when it comes to intoxicants. Banning naturally growing plants as Class 1 drugs is a crime against nature and should be investigated for corporate wrong-doing. Think guys, why are politicians motivated to do anything…for the people who give them money, perhaps. Lobbyists would go the way of the dinosaur if we ever have true campaign finance reform. Then all you guys could run for office and so could more women. It could bring many new parties into the system, representing the real diversity of the people of the USA. Dude, are you a member of the Party party?

Your spirit is a combination of the fire and water elements…the fire is the impulse to life. It’s the spirit in you that has a spark or flame of desire, as in “That boy has a fiery spirit.” The water, on the other hand, is the intuitive connection to emotional depth. It’s the spiritual side of the spirit. Not too many people are afraid of earth or air but you hear a lot of fears of fire and water. There are some obvious reasons, like near-death from drowning or severe burns. The spirit stores stuff the brain doesn’t want to remember because of the intense pain. Nobody wants to recall how they died in every life. This is where nightmares manifest and paranoid fears are generated here, too. It used to be thought that psychiatry was able to unlock the secrets of the unconscious mind but if a patient doesn’t want to revel why they are being a certain way, then they are institutionalized and studied…or worse, warehoused. Sometimes, a creative release of the inner demons through an artistic expression helps or a past life reading could expose the cause of the dysfunction. We are a repressed culture and it starts at an early age when children should be seen and not heard. Or when a kid tells a parent of an imaginary friend or reports seeing things from a different dimension, they are told that they are being foolish and that no such thing exists…and poof, they turn normal. It takes guts to admit you’ve seen a ghost or apparition from beyond. People think you’re crazy but spirits have energy, especially electrical and can spark fires without explanation. This could be why the spirit world is so misunderstood and many are afraid of it and its ramifications. Let me explain briefly. Your spirit is energy of thought and consciousness. You have many forms of possible expression, not just good or evil. There are many shades of many colors. To quote an old Buddhist saying, “You are what you think, having become what you thought.” Your spirit creates yourself to be in its image and if you are reliving old memories from past lives, you will repeat old wounds and pains. Birthmarks are often visual reminders of past life wounds, as I have discovered in my practice as an astrologer and hypno-therapist. The emotional and spiritual wounds are often played out subconsciously as habit patterns that are repetitions of previous life behavior. Until you remember the past, you may end up repeating it. Just as we have to remember history, we have to avoid repeating it.

We live in changing times, as you can see all around you. People are strange and getting piercings, tattoos and weird hairstyles to define their individuality. But I tell you, none of that is necessary. You see…you are already unique. You just have to find it within. For this, self-exploration is important, as well as a trip to a reputable astrologer. It’s helpful to know who you are, where you’re going and what you have to do to get there. Then, you can navigate your path that much more strategically. Some guys are born knowing they are in the wrong body. If you wonder about that, go online and search for transsexuals. Of course, some shouldn’t have made the transition. Ugly is ugly in anybody’s body! Ugly is as ugly does and some people are doing this for all the wrong reasons. They want to be sex machines. Or maybe, like MASH’s Cpl. Klinger, they just want to stay out of the coming war. One ex-Army dude I did a reading for back in ’76 told me that the US was preparing for a desert war. Hmmm…could that have been the Gulf War? He got out because he could see we were going in a difficult and even bad direction then. Not like the good old days when we fought for truth, justice and the American Way!

In WW2, Gen George S. Patton, a Scorpio, was able to remember his past life as a general in Caesar’s army. Landmarks, battles and even people flooded back into his conscious mind when he visited the very places he had conquered 2000 years ago. We have all been somewhere before and some of those places hold deep rooted memories and haunt us for ever…or until we remember them and purge them from our subconscious. Or, perhaps there are talents and skills that you were born with that reflect that past life you had as a dancer, comedian or actor. Who knows? Your friendly astrologer who understands past lives does. The planets in your chart indicate patterns of experience, modes of expression and methods of madness. Your chart shows you in all your glory and disgrace, so you have to be strong to be ready to face the truth. But that’s what this is all about, finding your strength with the power of astrology, it’s all yours! You don’t have to know what all the planets mean, although, if you think about the mythological figures they were named for, you’ll have a head start.

Astrology is the super-science of the metaphysical world and the most complete. However, there is also credibility to numerology, as it has been used for five thousand years to decode the Holy Scripture, meaning the Old Testament. There was a secret study of numbers called Kabala and you had to be at least 40 years old to study it. The numbers 1 through 10 were assigned letters of the alphabet and the connecting paths between each number was also given a letter. All told, there were 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and 22 is the number of Major Arcana Tarot cards. This is because they were used to disguise the true teachings of the ancient mystery schools, repressed by the Church of Rome. Even palmistry is a valid science. Your fingerprints never change, like your horoscope at birth. It is always that way. It is your uniqueness. Your palm, on the other hand, is always changing as you grow and evolve, making choices that affect your destiny. All of these techniques to help an individual discover his individual purpose and unique personality were feared by the Church who wanted all men to be like sheep, as are the many references to the flocks. Well, you be sheep if you want to. I, on the other hand, recognize myself to be spirit in constant contact with God. I do not need a house of worship since God created the palace of the Earth and I worship its beauty and majesty. Such that only man can fuck it up with greed and destructive forces like pillaging the land. We can bring balance to our Earth only when we restore balance to ourselves. When you love and create, you are in harmony with the God-force of the Universe. We are cells in the body of God, so we are all connected in the One. Let’s start acting the parts of a whole instead of a whole lot of parts.
