"~Meaningless babble may mean much to many but, may make more than most mindful of much.~"

  Translation:  Say what you really mean and don't get all encrypted with it.  You will find that you are more accepted and less misunderstood.

      Time is merely a fascination and construct of man used to bring some sort of order and control to his life where there otherwise may not be any in his ultimate quest to destroy himself utterly by improving himself beyond reason.

      I started on my Pagan Path as such: "The power and energies of those places that once were the great gathering places for everything from services to wars. Ahh yes, I know that feeling well. You step closer and closer and you feel it moving in as a slow creep of doom might. Then when you pass through the outer essences into the main threshold, it takes you to your knees. I have experienced this once or twice. The best of all was in an old gothic orthodox church in Liechtenstein (not sure of spelling) close to Oeastreia back in 1994. I walked into the foyer of the church and instantly felt welcome yet repulsed at the same time. When I ventured inside further, I made it maybe 20 feet before I cracked a kneecap on the floor and my good friend and guidance priestess caught me by my arms with another fellow that was with and drug me back out. After going outside, I recovered rather quickly. She, being a long time Wicca, explained to me for the first time in my life that I was a very sensitive person to energies such as those. I have been on a more straight lined pagan path ever since that day of discovery.

     Did I know that I would be a Pagan before? No, not really seeing as I didn't know what a Pagan was. I was raised predominantly Christian in everything from Baptist to Pentecost to Catholic. My own father was supposedly an ordained Methodist Minister. I however, didn't agree with everything that I was hearing in "ALL" of these so-called Christian religions. I refused to accept what everyone was so often shoving down my throat without evens so much as a cup of water to wash it down. I was expected to conform; with no questions asked. It is something about a religion that asks everything from you but can only promise you something in return AFTER you die that I really get frustrated with. I considered them empty promises and went about my own business. Not knowing where I was heading or what it was called back then, I started to actually seek that which had previously sought me out when I young.

     It called to me. It started calling to me way back when I was a child. I would have dreams that were really weird. I started "KNOWING" shortly after I turned six. I started knowing the names of everything form daemons to angels. I started knowing how to get rid of hapless spirits and boogies. LOL. I just knew. I would think of something and it would be there. Just at a mere thought, I would have the knowledge to conjure, banish or control those things that no one but I could see. I didn't find it odd being as I was so young. As I grew older, I would seek out that which was unseen and have conversations with it at length. It seemed as though I were talking to my self at times. I didn't care because no one ever saw me. It was as if I know that I had to keep it a secret. My own, personal invisible friends and acquaintances. I believe it was they who may have asked me to open my eyes and see that which was around me in a different perspective; in a different light. I didn't know what it was or how to handle it or address it until that day in the church. From that point on, I have been following my guides and my path. Mine may be far different than everyone else's. My path may not really and truly have a name for it. But it is mine. I will continue to follow it until my other living days. All this waking up just because of an Old, Orthodox church. Amazing how things just have a tendency to work out for you. LOL. All I can say to that is this one word: "KARMA"

By all means, I am looking for something to think about. Something other than my usual and normal thoughts. Hell, as it is, I think that I think too much as it is. LOL.  I ask that anyone wanting to contribute to my thinking processes let me know by email.  phildjoe@gmail.com.  Drop me a line there.  Please put your thoughts for me as a question form.  I do not know exactly when I will post each subject as a Blog but I will at the very least respond to your email at some time.  When you email me, please tell me who you are and where you are from.  When I post the blog, it will be the topic followed by the person who posed the question then my answer.

Usually, I think of things that are extremely deep, sometimes spiritual, but mostly non-sense in the eyes of most. I have solved the riddle of life (form my perspective anyway) and have gone faster than light. But, it is not the same as growing with the thoughts and conceptions of others. I believe that we all should be able to, at the very least, see the other side of the picture. What most see is just the front. I want to see the back and all other sides. I want to take the basic principles and turn them inside out. The squares become the spheres. Time becomes non-existing and transcendence is inevitable rather than not likely. I just need something else to think about. See what the others around me see. Most people see in black and white and some shades of grey. I see in full spectrum (with the occasional loss of color, as I can't see everything, LOL). I know, I sound a little crazy. LOL. I am. That is the best part.

Thank you for your input. The subject matter that you chose is excellent. I plan to post a blog on it by Wednesday. If you would like, I can send you a copy of it in a PDF format for your musings. I want to write a book that is a compilation of all the things that I put in the blog from these suggestions. Hell, I'd love to be a published author rather than just a published poet. LOL.

Most everyone on CovenSpace uses some aspect of their magycal name. My name on the other hand is just me. Phil is from my last name of Phillips, D is my middle initial (David) and Joe is just my first name. Hence, I have PhilDJoe. LOL. I have not truly talked to many on my friends list. I have merely been cordial and addressed them. BTW, I love to talk. LOL. I am from South East Texas after all. LOL. Once again, I appreciate the input.
