SYNCHRONICITY AND THE OTHER SIDE - Trish MacGregor and Rob MacGregor

2011-10-03T16:45:00.001-04:00

BOOK REVIEW

Believe it or not, life continues after you die -

This is how the writing team of Trish MacGregor and Rob MacGregor introduce us to their latest book, Synchronicity and the Other Side.

As they quote Emerson in The Over-Soul...”the influences of the senses has in most men overpowered the mind to the degree that the walls of space and time have come to look solid, real and insurmountable; and to speak with levity of those limits in the world is the sign of insanity.” However, they assure the reader that here we will see...”the walls separating this world and the other world are not insurmountable, that we can obtain messages from deceased loved ones, that guidance can be found, that a larger picture of life and life hereafter is readily available...and that...the more contact one makes, the more the so-called realm of the dead appears to be buzzing with life, potential and promise.” Then, just as the authors assure us of what awaits us, they methodically and comprehensively go about leading us on this journey of awareness and understanding, receptivity and communication, to synchronicity and the other side.

Synchronicity is basically a “meaningful coincidence”, according to Carl Jung, or...”the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that is meaningful to the observer and can’t be explained by cause and effect...” In the journey to communicate with our loved ones who are now on that other side, synchronicity becomes the guiding light through the darkness of misconception and misinformation, turning impossibility into not only possibility, but probability, using the information and techniques set out [again] by these authors of synchronicity.

The MacGregors come about speaking on the subject of synchronicity with authority. Their last co-authored book, The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, was born as a result of the MacGregors’ life-long interest in meaningful coincidences. As their own awareness in the subject grew, so, too, did their desire to write a book about synchronicity. In early 2009, using the technological tool of the internet for research and to sample their blog [http://www.synchrosecrets.com/synchrosecrets/] audience, their collection of “synchronicities from around the world” amassed rapidly. So it was that their first book on synchronicity was born - a guide leading the reader into the deep jungle of our own subconscious, lighting the way for our own awareness, creativity and life experiences, particularly, meaningful coincidences, to grow and flourish. See my review of this timely and informative book at http://gypsywomanworld.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html.

Now, taking the reader further on this “ultimate journey” now with their newest book, Other Side not only expounds upon theory, it is replete with actual life stories and experiences of people around the world, including those of the authors.   Contact with those on the other side through altered states such as dreams and near-death experiences is examined. The use of healing spirits [shamans, mystics and holistic healers] is introduced.   Spirit contact through synchronicities before or after the soul’s passing is deeply looked into, leaving one thinking that “...perhaps...ideas...of the nature of consciousness...should be re-evaluated.” Another avenue of spirit contact is through encounters with ghosts or spirits and, again, real life experiences abounding in synchronicity are shared. Almost everyone has had experience with clusters of things - clusters of numbers or names or words or objects - whatever. Such repetitions may be telling us that we “...should pay attention...the universe...is speaking...to us...one on one, about an issue that may be holding...us...back or about an idea or belief that may move...us...forward.” Objects of interest are another way in which spirit contact is often experienced, with an object [belonging to, or associated with, the departed loved one] long lost or even unknown, resurfacing, or showing itself in some way. Then, there is the “spirit of the trickster” - that “...archetypal figure often associated with the transition from life to death.” Trickster spirits can wreak havoc with our emotions with their sometimes disturbing nature, “creating strife” and testing our strength and resolve in certain instances.   Even animals, including our pets, may be attuned to the spirit world...”vehicles of synchronicity and spirit contact.”   Spirit guides may come to us through dreams, through the use of a medium, or even in the “form of touch” like when you “...feel as if someone has just placed a hand on your shoulder or simply sense that someone is near...and you...experience an emotional reaction to contact, an overwhelming sense of elation, or shed tears of joy.”

Regardless of the nature of contact with the other side, “when synchronicity is combined with spirit contact, new realms of possibilities and potentials open.” Each of us has experienced moments of clarity in our lives - those moments when the muddled waters of life are made just a bit clearer, sometimes by a seemingly mundane event. It is in those moments that we are able to see beyond the here and now and into the realm of the divine. By using “synchronicity’s symbolic code”, the divine becomes all the closer. The signs are everywhere. By using the tools and techniques provided us in Synchronicity and the Other Side, cracking that symbolic code becomes all that much easier.

The works of these award winning authors includes non-fiction subjects of dreams, astrology, yoga, animal symbolism and paranormal phenomena.   The fictional work of Trish MacGregor is replete with subjects of time travel, micro-chipping of animals and people, vanishings, parallel existences, governmental involvement and cover-ups, and more. Her last novel, Esperanza, came out last year, and its sequel, Ghost Key, is to be released. Rob MacGregor wrote Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and six other of the Indiana Jones original novels. He has appeared on several major television network channels, as well. His most recent novel, Double Heart, has just been released.   It follows the two others in this dynamic trilogy the includes Prophecy Rock [an Edgar winner] and Hawk Moon [Edgar nominee].   Still another book with the same protagonist is due out soon - Time Catcher.

The MacGregors also write the Sydney Omarr astrology books [since Omarr’s death a number of years ago] which include twelve [12] sun sign books by individual zodiac sign with daily horoscopes, together with an annual volume divided into monthly sections. In addition, they maintain a must-see astrology blog in Omarr’s name http://www.sydneyomarr.blogspot.com/.

Check out the MacGregors’ books at Amazon. As I always say about their work - get it now - don’t wait.

they are you...

the sun no longer shines
darkness destroys the holy trine
and night slips in our minds
what now the fate of all mankind
will the planets all align
or will they surely intertwine

and now they come
they come not to be outdone
they come this way to conspire
and hold at bay the world entire
this and only this the beasts desire

they are the ones with souls depraved
and in their hearts sin engraved

darkest days to find our way
who will rule if chaos stays
they will reign come what may

on wings of wire
from skies on fire
bodies cloaked in linen robes
floating down like celestial globes
with their thoughts your soul they probe
layer on layer to the lowest lobe

feet unshod
and in their hands are lightening rods
four by four
then some more
they come
with their drums

they dig their way

from the earths dark wet caves
to come above and all enslave

and bring with them the tidal wave
but what of them the gods forgave
is there no salvage from the grave

they draw you in then slam the door
and take you through the ocean floor
they come to drain you to the core
as they are here the gods own whore
do not false prophets you ignore

lion of blue
two by two
bear of blue
what to do
the bear and lion both carnivores
and will not stop till all means more

along the waters edge

they crawl the concrete ledge

what will be when time has dredged

and nothing left but their own hedge

they are not souls

among the blessed
they are not ghosts
but souls in flesh

do not let them be reviled

listen to the words of the wanton child

who speaks in voices now beguiled
as she was birthed by spirits wild

read the raging signs
they tell you of the time
down from the skies falls the great blue bear
oh gods of gods hear our prayers
with seven rays of light divine
his time has run its course
the blue bear now a demon force

read the raging signs
they tell you of the signs
when lord of the golden sun now roars
pray the mighty lion your soul restores
but should you wish for love and more
just hark you now the lion’s lore

invoke you now your primal id
to do the mother’s final bid
as the sword of salvation cries
and silently slashes the weeping sky

do you hear them
do you see them
do you feel them
they are here
they are near
those you fear
they are

you

when will truth be revealed
or

will they

all
mankind

kill

ESPERANZA now in paperback - read my review -

2011-06-30T23:33:00.000-04:00

read ESPERANZA and travel to ESPERANZA and into yourSELF

For starters, I will begin by telling you what ESPERANZA is NOT - yes, what it is NOT - now I do not ever like to begin anything with a “negative” of any kind - however, in this case, with this book, it is the only way to proceed - so here is what it is NOT:

ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical work of fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical suspense novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical thriller!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical science fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical paranormal read!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical historical novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystical experience!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical love story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical life after death book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical reincarnation story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spiritual journey story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical time-travel book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spirit world trip!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystery!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical metaphysical instructional manual!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical book on spirit possession!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical tourist guide book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical ghost story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical saga of the struggle between the good and evil!

ESPERANZA is ALL those things!

IT IS ALL OF THEM!

BUT, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever average or typical about this book! NOTHING!

ESPERANZA is the extraordinary tale of two strangers who meet under extraordinary circumstances in an extraordinary setting [a place in the Andes called ESPERANZA which means “hope”] and whose paths lead them on an even greater extraordinary journey - a journey filled with mysticism and adventure and love - love beyond mere physical love - a love that “transcends time and death” and an adventure into the unknown, the unlived and into a life beyond death, where the two of them hold the key to the time-old mystical battle fought among the living and the good and the bad spirit worlds -

In ESPERANZA you will meet and come to know the beautiful native people whose magnificent ancient Incan heritage is alive and well today!

In ESPERANZA you will walk the “...shadowed, cobbled streets of...this...old town...where your...eyes must adjust to the antiquity, the brilliant colors, the poverty...where your senses...don’t know which cue to follow - the scents or the colors, the touch of the past, the music that energizes the air...or...the taste of the foods...”

In ESPERANZA you will come to know in a familiar way the intriguing characters involved in this magnificent story - them and their families - you will come to think of them outside the covers of this book - you will think of them as you go about your daily routine - you will think of them!

In ESPERANZA you will not only follow Tess and Ian and Dominica and Ben on their own journeys, you will find yourself making your own personal quest into this world, the other world, and into yourSELF!

Above and beyond all, ESPERANZA is a mesmerizing tale of mystery, mysticism, adventure and love - and HOPE - in a setting you will long remember and a tale which will leave you not just wanting more, but needing more - of the work of its author, TRISH MACGREGOR!

we all need a little lennon...and fairies...

2011-02-24T13:03:00.000-05:00

I believe in everything until it's disproved.

So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons.

It all exists, even if it's in your mind.

Who's to say that dreams and nightmares

aren't as real as the here and now?

solar flares for february 2011...

2011-02-16T13:25:00.000-05:00

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that the most energetic solar flare in four years occurred on February 15, 2011. This X2 class solar flare also produced a coronal mass ejection which will increase the likelihood of aurora borealis activity, also known as the northern lights, on the night of February 17/18.

The solar flare originated from Sunspot 1158. X class solar flares are the most energetic solar flares. Flares also have sub classifications represented by numbers from 1 to 9, with the larger numbers representing more energetic flares. This X2 flare is energetic but near the lower end of X class flares.

This flare also produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) which is likely to strike Earth on February 18 (UTC date). During a CME the Sun spews out charged particles which can interact with Earth's magnetic field to cause aurora. The most likely night to see aurora activity (northern or southern lights) from this solar flare is the night of February 17/18, but it is also possible on the night of February 16/17.

At high latitudes, NOAA predicts a 45% chance of aurora causing geomagnetic activity and a 25% chance of a minor geomagnetic storm. At mid latitudes the probabilities are 35% and 20%.

There is no guarantee that you will see northern lights, but if the sky is clear in your location you might. Find a dark location with a clear northern horizon and look to the north. If you are down under, look to the south. If you see the northern lights, you can report it in the comments to let other people know.

There is also the possibility of more solar activity from this sunspot, which could increase the possibility of aurora.

hovering with density and luminosity of mist...

2011-02-13T10:31:00.004-05:00

In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones

on the graves of the dead so

their souls would not wander and inflict the living.

I always thought this was simply

the practice of superstitious and primitive people.

But I was about to learn that

the dead can hover

on the edge of our vision

with the density and luminosity of mist,

and their claim on the earth can be

as legitimate and tenacious as our own.

Your hearts know in silence

the secrets of the days and the nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound

You would touch with your fingers

And it is well you should.

he to whom this emotion is a stranger,

not in entire forgetfulness

and not in utter nakedness

but trailing clouds of glory

do we come

to hear...

2011-01-21T11:09:00.000-05:00

to still the earth...

2011-01-19T19:27:00.000-05:00

There is no drop of water in the ocean,

not even in the deepest parts of the abyss,

that does not know and respond

to the mysterious forces

that create the tide.

The current vogue for poisons has failed utterly to take into account these most fundamental considerations. As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life a fabric on the one hand delicate and destructible, on the other miraculously tough and resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways.

These extraordinary capacities of life have been ignored by the practitioners of chemical control who have brought to their task no high-minded orientation, no humility before the vast forces with which they tamper.

These sprays, dusts, and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests, and homes-nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the "good" and the "bad," to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in the streams, to coat the leaves with a deadly film, and to linger on in soil-all this though the intended target may be only a few weeds or insects.

Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life?

They should not be called "insecticides," but "biocides."

torn in your hearts

a dream you dream together is reality

let us dream together

from fields of corn...

2011-01-09T13:19:00.004-05:00

her pregnant gut she chose to hide

until the day ordained to die

when all the earth did open wide

and let them out from deep inside

then those with wings who just were born

when from her deep dark womb were torn

did rise at last from fields of corn

to summon forth a new day’s morn

the waters rose and washed away

the hearts of those who could not stay

who with their deeds did dark the days

and prayers alone could not them save

- do we not see -
- do we not hear -
the signs? -

- a re-post that just seemed fitting today in light of the tuscan incident of 1/8/11 -

the seed...

2011-01-08T11:55:00.000-05:00

within the seed

of your desire

is everything

necessary for it

moon maiden...

2011-01-06T20:32:00.001-05:00

like the waning crescent
poised in the night sky
so too was she
now that she was
without him
him - her star bright
who had illuminated
her dark dreary life
him - never wavering
never wandering
never weaving
in and out
him - always constant
unlike the other
sky warriors cycling
round and round
but there came one
day the time of eclipse
when the blackest black
reality blocked her
vision of the brightest
of them all
and she knew in the
shadow of that moment
what she must do
she had known all along
but the dreaded time
now was nigh
and so it was that the
beautiful moon maiden
followed her fate
and disappeared into the
midnight hour not to
be seen again by
her own starlight

the walk...

2011-01-01T16:57:00.004-05:00

totem walk me soft

take me down that path
far from sin's own wrath

take me by the hand
lead me through the sands

take me now through time
tell me you are mine

take me by my heart
play me like mozart

totem walk me soft
fly me far aloft

totem walk
me

soft

to BE the red in 2011...

2010-12-31T11:14:00.001-05:00

these gypsy lips
are red lips
ruby red lips

these lips are powerful lips
lips that can change history
my history even your history
make you change your ways
into their ways
they can cause things to happen
you never dreamed of
never heard of
these lips
can lamblast you
right out of your
little comfort zone
and throw you
for a loop like
you’ve never been
looped before
they’ll pucker and pout
turn you inside out
these lips are talkin' lips

they speak of truth of beauty
of life of love
they speak of me
of you
of us
of possibility
probability
and the physics of both
they speak of passion
of poetry
of poetic passion
of passionate poetry
they speak to you
these lips are loud lips
rambunctious lips
rowdy lips

irreverent lips
they ramble
they recite
they speak up
and act out
they are unruly lips
lips that have no rules
and will break your rules

these lips are happy lips
lips that smile
that open wide
and laugh out loud
lips that love to laugh
at big things
small things
at you
and with you
and at themselves
they laugh

these lips are magical lips
they can charm you disarm you
make you mold you molest you
melt you motivate you
they can turn you into things
you’ve never been before
and make you forget
what it was you were
these lips can take you
on a magic carpet ride
and have you beg
for a one-way ticket

these lips are lovin' lips
luscious and plump
full and ripe
ripe for lovin’ for bein' loved
for living' for livin' more
these luscious lips
will make you
wanna taste 'em
touch 'em
tease 'em
be teased by 'em
make you
wanna kiss on 'em
till you can’t kiss no more
then they’ll have you
comin’ back knockin' on their door

yes, these lips are lovin' lips
these gypsy lips
of mine

the morrow...

2010-12-29T14:54:00.001-05:00

walk to the stars
shift from afar
over the moon
to the seif dune
under the sun
golden days spun
stars ordain
nothin’ the same
planets align
travel thru time
make it all mine
holy grand trine
hark the seer
solstice is here
magical year
.

from the edge...

2010-12-28T12:09:00.002-05:00

I want to stand as close

to the edge as I can

without going over.

Out on the edge

you see all the

kinds of things

you can't see

from the center.

the holy affection...

2010-12-26T20:31:00.004-05:00

i am certain of nothing

but of the holiness

of the hearts affection

and the truth

colonol philip corso on alien technology -

2010-12-19T16:10:00.000-05:00

Let there be no doubt.

Alien technology harvested from the infamous saucer crash in Roswell, N.Mex., in July 1947 led directly to the development of:

the integrated circuit chip

laser and fiber optic technologies

particle beam

electromagnetic propulsion systems

depleted uranium projectiles

stealth capabilities

and many others!

How do I know?

I was in charge! (A matter of public record)

I think the kids on this planet are wise to the truth, and I think we ought to give it to them. I think they deserve it.

that love is all there is

is all we know of love...

the primeval phenomenon...

2010-12-16T16:57:00.002-05:00

beauty is a primeval phenomenon

which itself never makes its appearance

but the reflection of which is visible

in a thousand different utterances

of the creative mind

and is as various as nature herself

the timeless glance...

2010-12-13T21:38:00.000-05:00

glance into the world

just as though

time were gone

and everything crooked

will become straight to you

the connection...

2010-12-12T10:50:00.001-05:00

Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit.
Of these, spirit is primary,
for it connects us to the source of everything,
the eternal field of consciousness.

in the midst...

2010-12-10T12:02:00.002-05:00

of movement and chaos

keep stillness inside of you

special request for addresses - real communication 2011...

2010-11-30T12:43:00.001-05:00

greetings, dear friends - for those who have not already received this message from me via email today, just this morning, one of my dear blogging friends in ireland [thank you, map] posted a request for his BFs' home addresses so that he might send each of us a xmas card this year - it seems that in ireland, one does not send out xmas cards in the year in which a family member has passed on, as he had this past year - so, for this year, he wanted to send as many as possible - the whole thing of holiday cards took me right down memory lane to all the wonderful cards i received all my life, until the virtual world made such handwritten cards almost obsolete -

and so it is that i thought what a wonderful thing it would be for the NEW YEAR of 2011 - to send each of you a "real" card to your "real" home in the "real" world - hence, my request for your "real" address so that i might let you know i'm thinking of you with the new year!

send to gypsywomanworld@gmail.com

love first...

2010-11-28T19:38:00.000-05:00

i don't want to live -

i want to love first 

and live incidentally -

the gift...

2010-11-26T14:18:00.000-05:00

love never claims -

it ever gives

let US not forget...

2010-11-25T02:48:00.000-05:00

"The white people, who are trying to make us over into their image, they want us to be what they call "assimilated," bringing the Indians into the mainstream and destroying our own way of life and our own cultural patterns. They believe we should be contented like those whose concept of happiness is materialistic and greedy, which is very different from our way.

We want freedom from the white man rather than to be integrated. We don't want any part of the establishment, we want to be free to raise our children in our religion, in our ways, to be able to hunt and fish and live in peace. We don't want power, we don't want to be congressmen, or bankers....we want to be ourselves. We want to have our heritage, because we are the owners of this land and because we belong here.

The white man says, there is freedom and justice for all. We have had "freedom and justice," and that is why we have been almost exterminated. We shall not forget this."

From the 1927 Grand Council of American Indians

we are related...

2010-11-22T20:23:00.000-05:00

with all things and in all things,

we are relatives -

thanksgiving to those who were already here...

when you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced -

live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice!

to bury truth...

2010-11-18T14:27:00.000-05:00

if you shut up truth,

and bury it underground,

it will but grow

absolute exhilaration...

2010-11-17T17:35:00.000-05:00

those moments in your life

when you feel absolute exhilaration

are moments of complete alignment

with the Source within you

the cost -

2010-11-15T19:35:00.000-05:00

h o p e

costs

nothing

the division...no U turn...

2010-11-14T13:36:00.006-05:00

i knew that the moment

the great governing spirit

strikes the blow to divide all humanity

into just two opposing factions,

i would be on the side of

the common people.
