Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00244)

Hello Eldon,
Thanks for the below and thank you et al for your recent posting on Visions. It is interesting that they appear  many times in metaphor.  I personally have not experienced  phenomena/noumena of this kind, other than in dreams. When I was a child I did experience a light being and about 20 years ago experienced a negative being, which I think was a disgruntled disincarnate spirit which I shoowed away very quickly.
Although I have been told a few times that I have psychic ability there is something within me that shies away from opening up myself to it.   I am hypothesising that it led me into trouble in a past life as it is a psychological fear of the unknown, hence my request to understand more about the subject.  Again contrary to my fears I would love to be able to use psychism as a force for good in humanity.

Flapdoodely yours, (lol)
Cass

Cheers
Cass

   1833 Marryat P. Simple (1863) 210 �The gentleman has eaten no small
quantity of flapdoodle in his lifetime.� �What's that, O'Brien?� replied I.+
�Why, Peter,� rejoined he, �it's the stuff they feed fools on.�  1863
Kingsley Water-bab. vi. (1878) 266 Where flapdoodle grows wild.  

   2. a. Nonsense; �bosh�; humbug. Also as int.  b. A trifling thing, a
gewgaw.

   1878 Besant & Rice Celia's Arb. II. iii. 43 A bit of lace now, or any

1884 Mark Twain Huck. Finn xxv, A speech, all full of tears and flapdoodle.

   Hence flap-"doodle v. intr., to talk nonsense; to maunder. flap-"doodler
