Fundraising Secrets

July 17, 2014Uncategorizedcards, ejgold, fundraising, gorby, gorebagggorebagg

When you’re standing out in front of the supermarket or strolling down the busy street trying to sell greeting cards, the people you encounter don’t have time to know what you want, don’t have the inclination to help you unless they can instantly understand what you want and how you’re going to use their hard-earned money, and most of all, the people you meet are BUSY, far too busy to listen to your sales pitch. The point is, on the street, there is no time for a sales pitch, none whatever. You have at best 1/30th of a second to make your sale. That’s why, in spite of the fact that we have tens of thousands of fine art graphics available to us, we settle on the kid’s art for first conact, period.

That’s also why we make our cards at, by and for, the Children’s Craft Village. Continue reading →

Where is the Secret Message Hidden???

July 16, 2014Uncategorizedejgold, gorby, gorebagg, greetingcards, tarotgorebagg

My tarot greeting cards all contain secret messages as well as vibes and blessings, and as yet, nobody has come forward to say that they noticed this. How come? It’s so bloody obvious, I can’t figure out why it’s gotten past the eyesight of everyone who has seen the tarot greeting cards, which is in the hundreds at the moment, and steadily growing as we speak.

Even without a handwritten message scrawled inside the flap, there’s a message to be read, if one has the code book to decode it, and that’s the point. There is a code book — my book on the Tarot, Tarot Decoded, written more than 40 years ago, perfected over the decades, and available now in paperback by clicking HERE.

The way it works is that when you receive the card, you place it where it belongs in the book, and read the secret message below the card — simple as that!!!

Children’s Craft Village Greeting Cards — Important Update

July 14, 2014Uncategorizedejgold, gorby, gorebagg, greetingcards, list, price, tarotgorebagg

Here is the definitive DEAL PACKAGE for all Children’s Craft Village Greeting Cards:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I incorrectly posted that I would pay postage on card orders. Oops. My error; I didn’t mention it there in that blog, but this is only true of retail orders. All wholesale prices are “to the bone”, so you must calculate in that you will be paying the shipping & insurance charges. We will not pay for any wholesale shipment of anything to anyone at any time. Only in this way can we maintain fair wholesale prices.

Please do not forget that this is a nonprofit charity fundraising campaign, and that in some states and counties you need an ID from us to conduct charitable activities. Under some muni laws (municipal, or city laws) you can set up a small stand, or walk around with cards on a chest-mounted neck-strap selling box filled with card choices.

You do not need to fabricate a “story” or create a “beg rap”. You are selling greeting cards, and part of the resultant exchange — at least 50% — comes to IDHHB, Inc., a duly registered 501(c)3 charitable California nonprofit organization.

You can earn enough from this project to help the Institute and at the same time make some side dough so you can afford to hop on a plane and book a room at a local bed & breakfast, rent a car, pay for food, give tips where needed and in general spend a thousand dollars or more to come to a $375 “long-weekend-workshop”. You have to have a plan, or you won’t be able to afford it, unless you’re a Dream-Team defense lawyer or a high-priced Beverly Hills doctor specializing in Diseases of the Very Rich — and then you won’t have either the time or the inclination to come to some dumb spiritual retreat.

You’ll be too busy making money, so you can buy your way out of death, right? Continue reading →

What is “Children’s Craft Village”?

July 13, 2014Uncategorizedbuilding, children's, craft, crafting, education, ejgold, gorby, gorebagg, learning, skill, synergy, villagegorebagg

Children’s Craft Village is a dream of mine, held for many years now. It is a place where children from all over the world can come to learn the mysteries of crafting and building, and it currently resides at Prosperity Virtual Ashram, where we have crafting and building classes every weekend.

I firmly believe that virtual crafting is the key to future learning, and kids need to learn the virtual craft skills now, while they’re young and able to accept the high learning curve that comes with the skill package. Click the “continue reading” button to continue reading…

There are several varieties of Shamanic Ally, the most familiar of which, at least to Americans and Europeans, is the “Familiar”, which is anything but familiar to most folks. The Familiar is an equal member of a magickal partnership. Continue reading →

Trained Basilisk For Sale

dragon breeding center sunset boulevard 1967 — Dragon, Basilisk, Cockatrice, Familiar & Elemental Spirit Breeding Center, Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood circa 1967

“Psst….Wanna buy a trained Basilisk, cheap?” you hear the whispered voice from the darkest part of the already pretty darned dark alley.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” you reply, “where would I keep a trained Basilisk in a two bedroom two and a half bath apartment?”

“How about two for the price of one?” the mysterious seller prompts hopefully.

“Hey, now you’re talking,” you nod happily. “I have only one question… What’s a trained Basilisk?”

Funny you should ask, because that’s the very thing I wanted to blog about today. Trained Basilisks for sale.

Sure, anyone can have a Basilisk — they’re not uncommon. But a TRAINED Basilisk is something else altogether. Hmmmm….. I wonder what it takes to train a Basilisk, whatever the heck a Basilisk is…so what is a Basilisk, anyway?

If we go to the Source of All Human Knowledge, which these days happens to be wikipedia, a collection of opinions expressed as encyclopedic fact, we find that no one seems to know what exactly is a Basilisk, anyway.

That’s all to the good, because we don’t want a bunch of trained Basilisks running amok and raising Hell everywhere, do we? Especially if we don’t know what they are, what they look like, or what they do, right?

And in point of fact, it doesn’t really matter what they look like. You see one, you’ve seen them all.

Except that they all look different.

When I read this back to myself, it doesn’t sound very educational or informative. Gosh, I really want to try to explain this, so hang on, be patient. That is the essence of Basilisk Training, anyway. Patience is not merely a virtue; it’s the only important one.

I guess the best way to explain the Basilisk is that it serves as a guardian to your Altar Space and/or Work Laboratory, and has two other definitely useful attributes, to wit:

1. It can serve as a portal or gateway to XDA entities that might be interested in helping you. XDA Entities are Xtra Dimensional Allies, known to shaman as “totems”, to priests as “Holy Guardian Angels” and to many other cultures as “helpers” or “spirits from beyond”. All are accurate descriptions of a local population trying to explain their experiences with Extra-Dimensional Voyagers.

2. The Basilisk can serve as a teacher/guide, in much the same way that Yoda teaches young Luke how to understand the Force and become a Jedi Knight.

The Basilisk is not the stuff of which movies are made, but there are some important Hollywood references here:

The Raven — Vincent Price version with Jack Nicholson — try to find the restored color and sound DVD release.

Bell, Book & Candle — Kim Novak — excellent for an understanding of the Familiar.

“Catspaw” — Star Trek Episode #30 written by Robert Bloch and directed by my friend Joe Pevney, based on Bob’s short story, “Broomstick Ride”.

I suppose I should mention that something vaguely resembling the concept of the Basilisk was used in Harry Potter films, sigh. Don’t use anything from that fantasy series as a basis for understanding anything actually real. There are plenty of Hollywood references to Basilisks and other Familiars, Allies and Contacts.

What does it take to train a Basilisk?

Years and years of experience handling them and working with the entities that control them and manifest through them, in much the same way that you would manifest through an avatar in the Ashram.

How much is the Basilisk?

The price is irrelevant. You don’t have the knowledge to care for one yet, and you don’t appreciate the training. When you do, you’ll be worthy and capable of caring for and working with a Basilisk. End of Line.

How do the PTP Grades Work???

July 9, 2014Uncategorizedastral, basilisk, cockatrice, dimension, ejgold, elemental, extra, familiar, gorby, gorebagg, interdimensional, space, travel, xd, xdagorebagg

I’ve set up the PTP classes pretty much along very simple lines. Practical Work on Self Training Program is what PTP stands for. It’s a series of personal experiments which are called PTP Projects. If you’re interested and have a lot of spare energy and attention, you’ll receive as your first Mission Pack a group of ten (10) assorted handmade greeting cards that I put together for you to get rid of.

That’s right, I didn’t say “sell”, and the reason for that is because the exercise does NOT specify selling as an action you need to take, although unless you’re independently wealthy, the economics of the situation will eventually create an overburden of financial crush that can only be relieved by selling something.

NECESSITY CREATES ACTION

As you are undoubtedly aware, people don’t tend to do anything they don’t absolutely have to do in order to survive at the most basic level.

Well, that’s true, but people will take action if they believe they can personally and instantly benefit immediately and greatly as a result of that action, even if the probability against is very, very high, such as a lottery ticked or a horse race, and naturally, the greater the odds against, the greater the reward if your horse should happen to beat the odds, which is called a “long shot”.

Frankly, I know what will inevitably happen to your project, unless you do something to overcome your inertness (not “intertia”, the correct word is “inertness”, the quality of standing still, being “not-in-motion” with no hope of energizing oneself into action).

Getting a bit too technical? Okay, I’ll cut right to chase:

I send you 10 handmade “Vintage Postcard Notecards” — made by cementing down a genuine vintage postcard onto a brand-new stationary card with a matching envelope. It’s then wrapped in a protective sleeve, ready for market. You can add your own price tag or use mine.

There’s your necessity in a nutshell — you’re stuck with those 10 greeting cards unless you can figure out a way to get rid of them, and that DOES answer the exercise, because your only instruction is:

“You have 10 greeting cards in your possession. Get rid of them any way you can.”

That’s the whole of it, no gimmicks, no extras, nothing deep to understand. Get rid of them any (legal and ethical) way you can. I thought I’d mention those two items, ethical and legal, because they might not be “understoods” — I’m taking nothing for granted here.

Obviously if you don’t generate some cash from the sale of these horrid “in-your-face” greeting cards, you’ll soon be up to your eyeballs in greeting cards. They’ll be tumbling out of every closet and cupboard door if you’re not attentive and ready to take action to get them out of your house as if they were tribbles, and they are.

Tribbles are from a Star Trek episode, “Trouble With Tribbles”, writtten by one of my Galaxy Magazine authors, David Gerrold. You can easily find the very amusing episode on youtube, I’m sure. You won’t check it out unless I put the link in right here for you? Has it come to that, already? (SOUND: Deep Sigh, MUSIC up & out)

One of the other things I’m not taking for granted is your ability to create greeting cards of your own, on your own. I’ll be giving you the basics all along on the course, so you’ll be ready for each stage of increasing difficulty as it comes.

Don’t be in too much of a hurry for the Cockatrice, Basilisk, Familiar and the Big Four Elementals. You’ll meet them plenty fast enough — the learning curve is very easy in the PTP Course, and you can complete it in just a few months if you push yourself a bit.

I’ll be posting some blogs about the Basilisk and his friends, so stay tuned and tell a friend to tune in, too. I assure you that it will be of interest to anyone engaged in XD communication and travel — it’s like having a comparative travel agency help you with your voyaging bookings.

Lesson 1 of the PTP Course is just $35 away from happening! Send for it today! Supplies of vintage cards are not inexhaustible — get yours now! 10 handmade greeting cards for $35, which includes the course material. The video will help you get started right away, and in spite of the fact that it’s “just a school exercise”, it can actually help you to finance your workshops and retreats with enough extra cash to provide you with the ever-popular “wherewithal” to do the things you want to do.

Hopefully, one of those things you want to do is to learn how to be smart, courageous and kind. The PTP Course will not only take you there, it’ll take you back again, so you can turn around and help others up the ladder of consciousness.

“Bodhisattva” is not just a cute New Age buzz-word for a terrific new yuppy-seducing self-help weekend workshop. Bodhisattva is a Way of Life.

Sacrifice of Comfort is the game at hand. Wanna Play???

Ancient Bead Heaven

July 2, 2014Uncategorizedancient, beads, ejgold, gorby, gorebagg, trunkshowgorebagg

Jewels of Ancient Lands (http://www.jewelsofancientlands.com) is renowned for its collection of newly-made necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other jewelry items made with actual ancient stone, shell, faience, glass and bronze beads. Over the past several decades, a vast store of “extra” ancient beads began to amass itself. It is this group of more than 10,000 ancient beads, many of which have not been in the marketplace for over 30 years, that is being offered in this one-day “trunk-show” sale at Mana Beads in Nevada City, California.

Some of the beads in the show date back to the very beginning of civilization, the Late Stone Age, about 10,000 years ago. The cultures represented range from Egyptian 18th Dynasty through Greek, Roman, Medieval and Genuine rarely seen African Tribal beads made in Africa by Africans during the 19th century.

Other cultures represented will be early Tibetan, Pre-Columbian, Western Asiatic, Mongolian and more.

Also featured will be silver and gold rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces artisaned in Grass Valley & Nevada City, all of which are made precisely in the ancient style, using .925 sterling silver or 18 karat gold, together with guaranteed authentic ancient beads most of which are over 2,000 years old.

Prices start at only $4 per bead. These “starter” ancient beads are intended for the youngster beginning collectors, but an adult may buy one for a gift to a youngster.

Very rare beads can run much higher, into the hundreds. Serious bead collectors will not be disappointed. No collection this large, this extensive or this important in the ancient bead trade has been shown for many years, and some of the beads in the collection cannot be replaced at any price.

The reason for the sale? To introduce young people to the vast and wonderful world of history — the collection will be curated and sold by a group of educators, who also happen to be members of FAXL, a local “geezer band” that will be playing jazz, blues, folk-rock and a bit of bluegrass, if they’re asked, just outside the shop, on the front guest area.

Refreshments will be served.

See You At The Top!!!

PWoS is Here at last!!!

June 30, 2014Uncategorizedalone, change, ejgold, entrepeneur, exercise, exercises, gorby, gorebagg, home, individual, single, solitary, solo, spiritgorebagg

I began working on Practical Work on Self back in the summer of 1973 at New House. It then consisted of a series of practical work exercises that one could perform alone and at home, meaning in one’s hometown, not necessarily within the walls of one’s house. I had 5 really topnotch goof-proof exercises ready for market by 1975, but that was when we moved from Crestline to Grass Valley, and there was no time to experiment or start new projects.

Since that time, many work projects have come into the picture, but always there was the PWoS Exercise Series waiting in the background for completion. Well, I’ve done it. There are a total of seven levels, each level consisting of seven exercises, conforming in the same configuration as the 49 day reading cycle, to which these exercises are fundamentally attached.
