Tweets – Overheard.it: “‘” It takes a lot of blow to make a sound and then keep going. My son’s father-in-law showed him how and he can do it too. Me no sound!

Great-Grandma’s influence
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
Well, she was a grand lady and one that apparently caused everyone to quake in their boots whenever she was around. Though I was only about 6 years old, I remember her sitting in the kitchen wearing a large hat and a fur fox wrap around her neck. She was tall and slender and very commanding.
When I ran into the room, she immediately stared at me commanding a silent message “Stop.” I was in some way overcome with fear. She was indeed overpowering. Her belief was that “Children should be seen and not heard.” Since I was a chatty child, I began to enquire as to who she was. She glared at me and then ignored me. My grandmother was looking apologetic. This great-grandmother was of the old Victorian school. She had dined at the Palace and was not about to let her high society self fall from grace.
While my grandmother was peeling potatoes that she had boiled in the skins. (Something I was to see her do many times and later asked her why, to which she replied “I watched my cook in India do it.”) This opposing mother-in-law demanded to know why she did not have a servant. My grandmother told her they could no afford it, to which this great lady retorted “Awful.” Though I did not know about servants or India, I did understand the lack of money. I immediately knew enough to know that I did not like this woman and her awful ways. I was never to see her again as she died soon after I met her. I can honestly say, I had no feelings for her, and perhaps nor did my elders.
But, I learned something from her. By her mere presence I recognised power and the need to believe in myself even if no one else agreed with me. Yes, I inherited her drive as did my grandfather. I have never given up on any of my dreams, in spite of or despite circumstances and people.
World War II had caused an issue with money for my parents in those days. I remember that I was given a walky-talky doll for Christmas. (It shut its eyes and said Mama when I tipped if forward). It was the latest model, big and had some kind of china legs and arms. As I carried it upstairs, I banged it on the concrete step and the leg broke off. I was so upset. I had broken an expensive toy; one that my parents had saved for so that Father Christmas could bring it.
Actually, my father misunderstood my grief. He thought I was crying because it was broken and mended it with a large plaster that he bound round and round the leg for me, informing me that she was like my mother now, who had crippled feet, but was still perfect. Another lesson in awareness dawned on me. People had no idea what I was thinking and people could get better, just like my doll.The combination of these two events led me to believe that the world was full of suffering and that no matter what class you came from, no one was listening to anyone. My grandparents had their thoughts, my parents theirs and mine were quite different. So, what was life about? This simple idea set me on a pathway of discovery to know people in both past and present times. Even today, I still seek insights into what makes people tick!

Mind Over Matter
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
So following his discovery of the Indian Rope trick, which turned out to not be a trick but a way using psychonetics as he called it, Mind over Matter, My Grandfather`s idea was that we all have every trace of mineral that the earth has in our bodies and were pulled into the natural magnetic flow of the earth, and so he said that if we think of gold and dowse, then we can find gold. He did in fact find many mines in India this way.
On one occasion a gold cup was hidden in the Chiltern Hills in England as a dowsing competition. Everyone said he should do it, but he refused. Well to cut a long story short, the info on exactly were it was was lost and no one could find it – so they paid him to do so and he did it in three days. The Chilterns are full of hundreds of caves. It is dangerous to go inside if you do not know your way around, and so he had to mark every turn. Everyone was amazed when he found it. He was honored by the Dowsing Assoc. of GB and given a silver large bowl. My dad gave it back to them as a memento of him.
So, what did I get out of it? I used his idea in healing and look for all the metals and energies of the 5 bodies that make up our whole person. Now today, I often think of him and thank him in my mind for opening me up to such a concept. Today, people take this understanding for granted, but when he was young, it was considered way out on a limb. And even with my Crystal Acupuncture & Teragram Therapy, people still wonder how it works, even though I explain it.

Does a rope really defy gravity?
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
Well according to my Grandpa, it does in India. When he first saw this, he thought it was a trick, so he decided to check it out. In those days there was only metal wires. Of course, he looked for those. There was no nylon thread and so he looked for cotton. He could find no attachments to the rope. Then he looked inside the rope for some kind of spring that would send the rope up slowly. Nothing! Finally he gave up and asked the piper how the trick was done. The native told him it was not a trick, but a state of mind.
Now he wondered, was he hypnotised to believe the rope was rising while the sound of the mellow piper played. So, he asked the piper to not play. The man refused insisting it was his way of focusing on making the rope rise. So, now Grandpa studies the pipe. Nothing there. Finally, he asked how do you do it? The man replied `It is a state of mind. Many years to practice and master this technique.
Well, that set my Grandfather to thinking about his own state of mind. So, everywhere he went he was always checking his thoughts and thinking outside of the box. By the time I was old enough to hear this story, I got the message too. I have been thinking outside the box in all my paranormal activities. I want answers. To accept that something is just as it is worries me. So, if I get sick, I have to check all the usual answers and then beneath, over and around them to find the cause. I have been doing that this weekend.

The aliens are here?
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
My grandfather was also a pioneer in exploring unusual events. One of which was the mysterious landing of a space ship. I was about eleven or twelve when my sister and I went to stay with our grandparents. A telephone call came, and immediately he insisted I went out with him. My sister was too young. We drove in Sussex for about 1 hour and came to a field. He was highly excited. He told me how there was burned grass and weird smells in this area. I could indeed smell unfamiliar fumes. We walked a mile or so and came to the place. Sure enough, there were burned trails (3 of them) very long extending out from the burned circular center in approx 200 ft. lengths His theory was that a space ship had landed here, burning the land on it decent while landing on its three fins, it had burned the center and the ground under the fins to a dark black than had penetrated the earth to a depth of two feet or so. We searched for a long time, while he measured and double checked his measurements. He assured me they were exactly/precisely symmetrical and equal in every way. Two men came to meet us then. They were official people who were also checking the site. I was not allowed to listen to their conversation.
While all this was going on, I had my own ideas. It seemed to me that a space ship looking like a fish had landed, and then taken off – years later when I say the rocket to the moon, I felt it was just like the one I had seen in my head. So, who came here first!
The interesting end of this story is that my Grandfather took me back to that same place several years later and he showed me how nothing had ever grown where the land had been burned. You could still see the shape clearly and he told me that the land had been tested and strange and unusual chemicals had been found in the soil which no-one knew about! So, was it our future, coming back in time with a space rocket or someone from somewhere else. Well, I guess I will never know. At that time it seemed impossible to build a rocket, let alone see one. Now look how often we send space-ships up!!

Grandfather`s legacy
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
Major Charles Aubrey Pogson Sn., was a most interesting man. When I was about seven he took me out into a large field, placed his water divining T shaped piece of metal in my hands and ordered me to pace around with the point up looking for water. Since I have no idea what I was doing, I did as I was told. Not long after walking, the point turned down. I stopped to ask him why and saw his excited face smiling away at me, while he went on and on about I have the gift too. But, what was the gift? Finally, he explained to me that everyone can attune to the earth. I had found a water pipe under the earth, which he had known was there. He had me search for several things in the field, including pots. Yes, I found some broken ones too. this field had been a burial site from ancient times and he had tested me that day.
Well, since then I have learned to dowse the human body and find the flaws, illnesses and ways the human body works. We all have a magnetic polarity with the earth and have within us the ability to attune to what is under the earth as well as within ourselves. Divining is an interesting hobby and a wonderful healing tool too. If you go to the countryside, have a go!

My mental inheritance
Posted on February 22 2011 by in Be Still My Mind with 0 comments
My father is 94 this year. When I think about his life and the way he has had to adapt throughout the past century, I am astonished at how much he has seen. Last time I was with him he was talking about his entry into this world. My grandmother in her 6th month and was riding home in a small open carriage in India (Rickshaw) when a small lizard dropped out of the trees right down her dress into her bosoms and as a result of her panic she went into early labor.
My father was the smallest baby known to survive at 2 lbs. Everyone said it was a miracle. Well, I guess one thing led to another. By the time he was at his birth weight he had a wet-nurse in India. (it was the custom) and she was called an Aiya (not sure how to spell that). Anyway, she saw he had a ring of tiny pink spots around his shoulder and on down to his hip which was on the diagonal. It was and is still visible to me. He was then pronounced to be highly lucky and spiritually protected!Well, he survived World War II with two events that wounded him, including shrapnel in his head. When he woke up on that occasion, the priest was saying the last rights – blessing his soul and his journey to heaven. But, that did not hold him back from living life to the best of his ability. Now the years have passed and he is still 100% aware and active. So, he is my model and a very interesting man. The one thing I inherited from him was his active mind. It goes on and on….
Perhaps it is a gene or a DNA strand that causes me to wonder at his life and my own. My grandfather was also a very unusual man. He was an officer in the Indian Army for Britain and also a water diviner, as well as a Magistrate. He found many wells for both the army and local villages. His ideas about the mysterious and strange were often told me when I was young. No wonder I became interested in the paranormal.
It is my intention on this blog, to share some of my unusual history with the influence of these two men and the strange things that have happened to me throughout my life. So, if you like weird, or out on a limb stuff, perhaps you will write to me and let me know if you like what I write.

Your child may tell you things you think strange or absolute rubbish this year. But, do not turn a deaf ear. They are attuned to the Earth and will have strange dreams, psychic moments and great awareness about their friends and school teachers etc.
Since no two children are alike, we can expect a lot of showmanship and dedication to their work and hobbies; however, there will be a lot of kids who are needy and in urgent need of care and understanding. If you are a mother or grandmother, than you will need to pull upon your own memories to help those children who are in your life. If you are of the opposite sex, then that paternal guidance will be needed in the form of protection.
No one or animal is unaffected by the Earth’s changes, whether they be physical or of electro-magnetic energy. Large solar flares are affecting us as I write as well as the after effects of the eclipses of moon and sun. The distant planets are affecting us and will do for 1000+ years to come. The Aquarian Age is here, so, be ready to start the ball rolling in the right direction.
I have two blogs up on this issue: I stuck my neck out and gave my predictions. http://drmargaretrvc,blogspot.com & http://drmargaretrvc.typepad.com I would be grateful if you could pass this info along to your friends and associates. We should all be aware of immediate danger and have insights into how we can protect ourselves in times of need.
Blessings
Dr Margaret
