It is important that you learn to distinguish between moral judgments about your beliefs and practical insight.  The former further complicated matters by evoking feelings of guilt or unworthiness.  The latter helps you choose beliefs wisely, as a master craftsman chooses highly specific tools that serve the refined skills she has acquired. Beliefs are not merely tools, but particular or unique shapes that mold energy, or express consciousness.  We, of course, speak of beliefs you actually hold “in your heart,” not those to which many of you give lip service.  Living beliefs are organic forms, encoded even in your body and its systems.  That is why they may – and do constantly – affect those systems. Each of you has your own unique version of any beliefs, so their manifestation will differ somewhat from one person to another, even though…

(This is part of a section on the Birth of Consciousness dealing with the Shadow) The shadow is not evil.  In one sense it is all that you neglect consciously, and therefore at times may be allied with creativity and even a deeper spirituality.  The shadow is hardly static, and its contents and character are always shifting.  Neglected, the negative side of the shadow can erupt unexpectedly, irrationally, angrily, or even violently.  When the positive side of the shadow is too much neglected, depression can ensue.  Whatever its contents, the shadow seeks recognition, acknowledgment, understanding and integration.  This is why you cannot fully evolve without some awareness of your dreams. Now clearly, especially in the world you know, many of you do not have time to engage your dreams at length.  Many of you seldom remember dreams.  We have several…

This photo was taken during GhoSt Augustine’s midnight Hearse Ride out at the world famous haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse. Martin Akerman captured this fabulous orb while roaming the grounds of the lighthouse. You never know what might appear in your photos during our ghost tours.

Jeffrey is a lifelong academic that started with a Bachelor’s in English, several bodywork certificates and finally to the height of his life purpose: a degree in Chinese Medicine.

Saturday, May 21, 2011 (actually: Sunday, 00:15, May 22, 2011) While on tour with the evening’s GhoSt Augustine Hearse Tour guests, our second stop, the Kenwood Inn, allowed for a most exciting event.  I had just shared my only live/visual paranormal experience, which happened at the Mission of Nombre de Dios more than 15 years prior. This prompted a “tongue & cheek” discussion about how we were all about due for more a substantial experience with the paranormal; we had become “bored” with our photographs of just orbs…oh, the plight of ghost hunters… As I was telling the story of the Bay view Room (Captain’s Wife on the Widow’s Walk) one of my guests discreetly got the attention of his wife to point out what he had been watching in the windows of the room referred to in the story. …

Lori Reber was recently a guest on our Haunted St. Augustine Paranormal Tour and took this interesting photo at the Huguenot Cemetery. It shows the image of a young woman on Nellie Porter’s grave which is believed to be here. Beuatiful photo on one of GhoSt Augustine’s many ghost tours! You never know what might show up in your photos on one of our tours, especially with Dr. Harry Stafford PhD in Parapsychology. GhoSt Augustine recently launched it’s newest tour, The Dead Walk! Fabulous ghost tour that takes you through the dark and narrow streets on St. Augustine’s south side of the plaza. Hear the ghostly tales a lot of other tours don’t know about. Hope you will join us soon on one of our haunted adventures.

The latest occurrence at our GhoSt Augustine Gift Shop at 123 St. George St. happened just this past week!! One of the store owners was in the hallway alone early one morning preparing to open his store when he heard the alarm go off in the Sword Shop at the front of the hallway. He heard someone scurrying around in the store and moving things around and was sure someone was in there!! He looked through the door and windows and the sound stopped but the alarm continued to go off. It is a motion sensor alarm so something had been in there moving around to set it off. It wasn’t a mouse or anything like that, it was something much more. He started to go back to his store dreading the sound of the alarm when he heard something…

A Solnia Session: Physical consciousness is only one stage, albeit an important one, of your birth into consciousness.  You do not denigrate the cocoon because the butterfly emerges.  In a real sense, physical embodiment and existence are a cocoon from which you will emerge as a conscious being.  The body of consciousness you need is formed in your physical lifetimes.  From the standpoint of your soul, physical reincarnations and probabilities are simultaneous.  You can and do have more than one dream simultaneously at times. Likewise, your physically focused lives and activities are simultaneous.  They constitute the cocoon or womb from which the fully conscious self emerges.  You may use various metaphors as you prefer, but in greater terms you are not fully born, nor are you truly free, until you emerge into lucid consciousness. Your soul – your source –…
