Update on Las Vegas R-J

As you know I have been following this story all summer long. Now it seems Karma may be turning the corner on this group. This is still a story in progress, however R-J may have unknowingly been a victim of their own making. One Judge in Las Vegas has stated that R-J website "implied" consent to use the articles by not de activating their copy and paste feature on their website, plus they have numerous links "implying" consent to share their articles at the bottom of their website.

Las Vegas copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC has suffered a legal setback, with the newest federal judge in Las Vegas ruling one of the Righthaven defendants may have a meritorious defense in arguing the Las Vegas Review-Journal provides an "implied license" for the online reposting of its stories.

RJ of Las Vegas Shame on You

I am back early to put this article out and ask anyone who is connected with the Las Vegas Review-Journal whether on line or a subscriber to boycott their sites and newspaper. I have canceled everything.
Here was my comment to Steve Green.
"What is going on here? What's next? Students being sued for using articles to make their point when quoting sources in their research papers? This is a witch hunt. I have canceled my subscription to the LVR-J newspaper. I would like to post your article on my blog site and ask for a boycott of this newspaper.

Thank you for being on top of this. Freedom of speech? What happened to us?"

Summer Break

Hi everyone, I wanted to post one last time before heading for my break, holiday, vacation, meditation or just some down time for the next few weeks. I will return September 13 with a weekly post on what I want to express as Spiritual importance to me. However before going I just had to report Anne Rice’s statement in case you may have not heard read this in the last few days. While I made this personal choice when I was 15, I always find it amazing when someone else has that Ah! Ha! Moment and discovers they may unconsciously have been part of a group, community or cult they were never aware of, that preached against those who did not adhere to their Christian belief, and did so in the name of that group. While Anne has repeatedly said “I have not given up on Jesus, only on Christianity”

Stay cool and stop back in September.

Psychic Vampires Chapter 1

7/11/10
Physic Vampires. Spiritually speaking, this type of vampire concerns me much more than if actual blood sucking vampires are roaming our neighborhoods. My own personal experience has shown that for me they usually travel in groups. For those I have helped with these suckers they usually have only one or two that are feeding on the victims positive energy supply.
The question I was asked was how do we know if we are a victim? If you are in a relationship where the individual is negative about everything, never seem to have anything positive to say about anything in their life, complains, whines, yawns when in social situations or withdraws from any positive event to take a back seat or starts making suggestions that begin to try and draw the victim away from friends or family that you have been happy with than you might find yourself mirroring that negative behavior. A psychic vampire has only one concern, picking the right victim and making sure it’s all about the vampire’s needs. They play on the victim’s weakness and feed until all positive energy is drained. They will back off to let the victim replenish the energy supply then zoom back in. Sometimes they have more than one victim, but most of the time they really try and make the victim their person supply. This psychic vampire plays the helpless role, becomes dependent and works on the gullibility of their victim. Guilt is another sign. Without the victim being aware of what is happening this victim actually thinks they are helping them, but in the end they never do. Psychic Vampires will do anything and everything to convince the victim they are actually helping them but they go back to their negative behavior and leave the victim drained. From here it can get a whole lot worse. Some become emotion than physically abusive.

Psychic Vampire Chapter 2

Chapter 2

As a victim you may start to feel physically ill, the body can start to break down and the victims own positive relationships start re coiling and do not want to be in the Psychic Vampire’s space. Especially those that are spiritually sensitive to the energy field. Sometimes the Psychic Vampire is unconscious of their actions; sometimes their intent is very conscious. If they move in groups they pull from the unprotected and their energy level has doubled so the victim if not protected by the victims own positive energy field can be pulled in before they realize what happened.

So how do you protect yourself? It is quite easy. Visualize, visualize. Keep your energy field a distance of at least 5 feet from anyone you feel uncomfortable around, for whatever reason. Then visualize a bubble surrounding yourself. When in the present or even on the phone and this person starts with the negativity, take a deep breath and imagine your bubble, than visualize any negative bolts that may hit your bubble bouncing off then evaporating into the universe. Clear any negative reaction you may have felt, and immediately replenish your positive energy with positive thoughts. Do not respond to anything Psychic Vampires say or do, especially if you hear that small voice whispering “OMG here we go again” If you are aware this is what is happening, make sure you protect yourself before, during and after the meeting or phone call.

I am fortunate to have a private place I go to daily and meditate. Just 10 minutes will protect you from most negative energy fields.

Those that are Spiritual Healers must be doubly careful because they can find themselves being pulled in two directions between the Psychic Vampire and their victim. Especially if that victim is a friend or someone you know. We usually have to withdraw for a day or so to re charge because this form of pull is the hardest on our own psychic.

If you try what I have suggested and still feel drained after being in their presence or can’t understand why you physically seem to be ailing, you might want to think if it’s worth making yourself sick to try and help someone who may only be in your life to feed off you.

Weekly Words to Ponder


In April,
Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'
Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day......like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back....'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'


If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret

When you close your eyes and you visualize having money and imagine doing all the things you want with that money, you are creating a new reality. Your subconscious mind and the law of attraction do not know whether you are imagining something or whether it is real. And so when you imagine, the law of attraction receives those thoughts and images as though you were actually living them, and it must return those visions to you.

When you are in the place where what you are imagining feels real, you will know that it has penetrated your subconscious mind, and the law of attraction must deliver it.
May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne

Memorial Day and A Spiritual Thought

It’s Memorial Day Weekend in a few days in America. However you choose to remember this Holiday, please be safe. As a child, my parent’s routine was to decorate every grave from every relative who had passed over. I thought in my innocence decorating meant decorating a room. Silly me, I just never understood this ritual, and never questioned it until I was 16. And that is a whole nother scene; I won’t bore you with that story. Half the time we couldn’t find the graves, and when we did it was one of the saddest times I can remember. The car smelled of funeral’s, with all those flowers. We had to drive from Columbus, Ohio to WV just to be sad. So at 16 I refused to go and well it wasn’t pretty. With that being said, we all need to make a decision for ourselves as to what gives us peace. If visiting plots of your love ones and decorating them, gives you peace, you need to do this. But if it doesn’t than don’t. Our love ones live in our hearts, in our memories and in our souls. We don’t always need a thing or place to connect with our love ones to remind us that they are still in our thoughts and always will be a part of our spirit.

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE OR USE ANY ELECTRONIC DEVISE WHATSOEVER, EVER. GO TO OPRAH.COM AND SIGN THE NO CELL PHONE PLEDGE. WE HAVE LOST TOO MANY SPIRITS ALREADY TO THIS INSANE ADDICTION.
