Did you ever wonder how to read minds, speak to someone miles away, hide from someone, and find almost anything?  Have you ever wondered how the ancient wizards teleported, cast fireballs, lightning bolts or became invisible?  Have you ever wondered how to levitate, fly or shape change? Have you ever wondered why some relationships work out and others don’t?

 

This web site gives you clues on how to perform all of these things and more.  This web site shows you how to begin to develop your skills and abilities to perform all of those things.

 

It isn’t possible to tell you how to do these things just like it isn’t possible to tell another person how to breathe.  I can however teach you the skills to develop the required strengths to use these abilities and more. 

 

I can tell you why all these things are possible.  I can help you to understand what reality is and isn’t.  After all, isn’t reality the ultimate definer of what we can or can’t do?  Odds are it isn’t even half of what you thought it was.  I will even explain why that is as well.

 

I have spent most of my life studying life and how it acts.  From those studies I have become an ordained reverend.  Most of the things in here are meant for informational purposes.  Many of them work and can be used.  You can learn and use many of them yourself.  I myself haven’t been as yet able to accomplish all of them.  However the rules that explain them I hope is well defined and explained.  Many things in here require the advice of professionals.  That could be lawyers, priests, doctors, physical therapists amoung others.  Please, take the time to discuss these things with the professional when ever possible.  I must say this as a disclaimer.  Every thing you learn and use, it is at your own discretion.  I cannot be held responsible for any mistakes you may or may not make while using these skills.  I take an odd view of life and this describes it in quite some detail.

 

One last thing to remember is that this web site is almost always changing and evolving.  I built it based on quite a few things.  Some of those were on the people I have helped, mistakes I have seen others make, my own evaluations and experiences and finally on the rules as I have defined them.  Everything in here is based on principles that I am currently using and have used for the last 35 years or so.

Being first to do something more often then not means you did something or discovered something by mistake, accident or curiosity.  It definitely means that you don’t understand the rules involved or why something works.  In time however those things could be figured out.

 

A perfect example is skipping stones.  To understand the exact reason a stone skips requires some amount of math and science.  That doesn’t mean that you can’t skip a stone with out them.  People have been skipping stones for centuries.  It is almost certain that the first time a person skipped a stone it wasn’t realized that the stone had to be flat in order to do it.

 

That is what being first means.  You come up with an idea or you do something accidentally.  From that event something happens that has never been accomplished before.  By attempting to accomplish it repeatedly eventually you figure out how it works.  With luck, possibly you figure out why it works.  Once you figure out the hows and whys it then becomes possible to teach others to repeat what you have done. 

The book of shadows is before anything else a listing of everything you know concerning a certain subject.  If it is correctly written it can be used easily either for reference or teaching.  This book can be considered as my book of shadows for all practical purposes.

 

This however is a physical book.  When the term Book of Shadows is used the idea is that it doesn’t fully exist on this plane.  Hence the reason it is called shadows.  For those who have the ability it is possible to write, control and keep such a book on another plane.  For that reason and ability it is called a book of shadows.

Quite often when I first start teaching someone I have several tests that I give.  You can think of them as trick questions if you would like.  Each looks at a different perspective and checks to see if you can understand what is involved or not.

 

The first test is based on the idea of a glass being half full.  The original idea was that if the glass is half full then you are a positive person and if the glass is half empty then you are a negative person.  I however have taken this one step further.  Half empty or half full is not the answer I am looking for.  Can you figure it out?

 

The second test is on the idea of digging a hole in the ground.  This hole is to be four feet deep, four feet wide and four feet long.  After this hole is dug, I will ask you to dig half a hole.  The test is, how deep, wide and long is this half a hole?

 

For the third test I hold up my hand.  I then extend all of my fingers.  The question I ask is which finger contains your essence?  The original question was which finger contains your magic?  Either question accomplishes the task that I wish.

Now that I have given you test questions odds are you would want the answers.  Originally I held the answers off till the very last moment.  I now think it is a better idea to give the answers as soon as possible.

 

Question one is about the glass being half full or half empty.  The answer is neither.  To give another hint I can ask you what happens to the space not filled with liquid in the glass?  Does this space just disappear?  Does something else fill this space up?  Does this space become a vacuum?

 

To answer these questions half the glass if filled with liquid.  The other half of the glass is filled with air.  In this answer you are neither positive nor negative in personality.  You are a realist.  You look at both sides of the equation hence you prepare and accept all possibilities.

When I first started this project I had a need to rank the different abilities of those I was teaching.  Over time that different levels, requirements and responsibilities changed.  I find the following list and explanations to be the best way to show how I rate and grade various levels of ability.  It doesn’t so much as rate performance so much as the ability to understand.  The first column is what is required.  Across the top shows the four levels available. Then I will say if something is expected on that level or not.  Finally at the bottom I will explain what each means.  To understand each level find the name of the level you seek, from that point go down the column to see what that level consists of.

Studies – Level of studies offered/taught

Short Term – Length of time being taught.  This length can one time or last several years at a school.  The object is that once the training is done the student has little if any interaction with the person who taught them.  This could be the length of a College degree.

Cash Pymnt – This means some sort of monetary value is quite frequently given in exchange for being taught.  This could be the price of college.

Supervised – This means that the person teaching is almost constantly watching and evaluating the person being taught.

Testing – This means that the previous knowledge must be learned and mastered before a student can move on to the next level.

Responsible – Organization takes responsibility for a person at this level.

Indentured – This is similar in many ways to the indentured servant.  That is the student is responsible for performing chores and duties in addition to any monetary fee that might be charged.  In exchange the person teaching takes care of and protects those that are being taught.

Long Term – This means that a life time study is expected in some form or another.

Independence – This means that the person is expected to act independently.  It is expected that this person can make acceptable decisions on his or her own.

Supervisory – Has position of authority and responsibility.

Teaching – This means that this person is expected to do some teaching.

Governing – This means that this person is expected to put some input into the way the group functions.

Elected – This position is elected from the next lower level.  It is only done when a group becomes large enough that a person must be appointed to speak, govern and settle disputes for the rest of the group.  Quite often this person will act with the rest of the group in mind.  In many cases the rest of the group will automatically assume a certain person has taken charge and control.

 

Basic/Agree – Means that usually only the basics of the organization is taught.  It could be set that other agreements are made as well.

Mid – Means that intermediate or middle level studies are taught and learned.

Advanced – This means advanced studies are learned.

Explore – This means that the person should be capable of coming up with valid new ideas on his or her own.  This person should be capable of modifying, adapting old ideas as well.

 

Yes – This means this condition is constant.

No – This means this condition is never considered.

Partial – This means this condition varies according to the person doing the teaching.  Some ability is expected however.
