And for those of us drawn to the uncommon, the strange, and the marvelous, interested in the so called supernatural, it dives into discussions of clairvoyance, telepathy, lucid dreaming, and out of body, including views on seeming miraculous effectiveness of placebos, health &amp; illness, the power of intention....<br />It's a book that will enhance and deepen any reading of supernatural fiction.<br />It's impossible to describe this book in a nutshell. But if you are someone who is open to a discussion of a broader range of what we define as realty, this is a book for you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6449374341836103710-8225205434673027046?l=jacquelinestigman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JACQUELINE STIGMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02101646808525269260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449374341836103710.post-62741920031616990772008-10-29T04:40:00.001-07:002008-12-07T16:32:44.140-08:00Have you ever awakened and known that you were<o:p></o:p><br />Not yourself?<o:p></o:p><br />Awakened knowing, if only for moments<o:p></o:p><br />That you were the Old One<o:p></o:p><br />Not born of woman<o:p></o:p><br />Not kind<o:p></o:p><br />Much older than thought<o:p></o:p><br />With one disguise under the other<o:p></o:p><br />The Busy One<o:p></o:p><br />Who maintains the perfect imbalance<o:p></o:p><br />Spinning us like plates at the top of His golden pole.<br />And I tell you<br />Sometimes when I awake<br />I am that Old One<br />And it is wonderful<br />If only for moments<br />To see through all of the walls. <o:p></o:p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><o:p></o:p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-style: italic;">Jacqueline Stigman</span></p>Published in <span>"Second Glance"</span> Autumn 1994 No: 03<br />(an excerpt from my poem Foreign Bone) <p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6449374341836103710-6274192003161699077?l=jacquelinestigman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JACQUELINE STIGMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02101646808525269260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449374341836103710.post-76443203815543625952008-10-22T04:21:00.000-07:002008-10-25T18:00:01.424-07:00<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">I found out about the film - </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">What The Hell Is Going On</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"> - now on its way to SUNDANCE, because I'm lucky enough to know one of the actresses, Roetta Collins, who appears in the powerful final scene of the trailer.
