Message From the Faeries

Message from the Faeries!

It was brought to my attention by my friend Donald, who is connected to the faerie realm, an important gathering had taken place by the faeries. Here is the current story told to me by Donald:

“About three weeks ago, around July 1, 2022, I had tried to connect with my faerie guides. Usually, they come briefly after I call them. I tried several times and did not hear from them. I was concerned but knew it must have been for a good reason. Then a few days later my personal faery guide came and I immediately asked her why there was such a delay. My faery guide said, ‘We were summoned by the Angels. All the faeries came and gathered. It was a huge meeting, like a conference in your human world. It was divine instruction and they prepared us for what we were to do next. They showed us glimpses of the future to help us understand and prepare for what was coming. We then were told to share with other clan leaders in the nature realm.’ The meeting was headed by an Angelic messenger and because they were called to attend such an important event, they could not appear to me when I called them.”

When Donald told me this story I had chills running through my body. I felt so much truth-energy from this message. Like the faeries, we are all being prepared for what is coming next. Even though we may not know what it is specifically, we do know to take time out for ourselves—to go inward and allow the preparation to take place. It is no surprise that the Faeries, who are the chief stewards of Gaia, have been called to prepare for the next level of the New Earth. It is so hopeful to know we are all together in the changes to come.

Many blessings of hope and love, Laura and the Faeries! (image by James Christensen)

Creating Space For Her

THE MAN WHO WALKS WITH THE HEALER~

When a man chooses a woman who follows her calling, his only chance to maintain the connection is in following her… and above all in creating space for her to follow her own path.

It may happen that he needs to abandon his own neediness, or that he finds a means of healing through their common path – but not in the gentlest manner.

When a man chooses a woman who heals the collective wounds of the women by following her calling, his Yes for her equals a Yes to a bigger purpose far beyond building a house or raising children. Their connection goes beyond fulfilling the classical gender role models.

For this man accepts the job of having the back of this woman, of catching her when she cannot transform the pain of the world anymore. It means for him to welcome a different form of sexuality, since healing on the level of sexuality is one of the most profound issues of the woman who needs to become a healer.

For him this, again, is about welcoming slowness, softness and healing – about holding back or redirecting his own drive… about being present for the whole.

Because when a man chooses a woman who aims for freedom, they can only achieve this together… and by him leaving his narcissistic aspects behind and recognizing the path of the woman as his own path towards freedom.

When a man chooses a woman who is bigger, he cannot dwell in the places of energies of oppression or of playing small. He – if he chooses to take on this mission with her – accepts a task serving the well-being of all men, even though it happens in the background. Within this background he creates space of security, of keeping her safe from an ambush bred by his own old wounds, driving her into submission.

When a man chooses a woman out of his fascination with her radiance and wisdom, it must be obvious to him that he cannot be stuck within his own deficits in a way that makes him want to diminish her radiance… purely out of fear of having to share her with others.

When a man chooses a woman who follows her calling, he cannot fear these words: respect, humility and surrender. He will rather walk the path of divinity – alongside his woman, the healer – with gratitude and an overflowing heart.

For such a woman will choose – if she ever needs to choose – in favour of the well-being of all women …and she will choose walking her path alone instead of leaving it for him. Nevertheless, she is aware of the power that lies in the presence of a man who is beating the drums… for her.~

Natural Life

For nearly all of the time humans have been on the planet, regular conversations across the species border were an everyday natural part of life.

Sadly, this seems like a strange invitation in our world today; most people have difficulty initiating such a conversation. Perhaps this is because we’ve been taught from a very young age to perceive nature as separate, a life-less object, a commodity. This mistaken perception seems to be at the foundation of our cultural ills.

In The Lost World of the Kalahari, Laurens van der Post writes about living among the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert and describes how shocked they were that he couldn’t hear the stars. At first they thought he must be joking or lying. When they realized he really couldn’t hear the stars, they concluded he must be very ill and expressed great sorrow. For the Bushmen knew anyone who can’t hear nature must have the gravest and deadliest sickness of all.

Humanity’s ability to perceive the sentience of Earth is critical to our survival and to all life on earth.

Longing to be in conversation with nature can catalyze us. And perhaps the natural world longs for this relationship with us too.

Longing is not acquiring, as the vulnerability of failure feels all too possible. Instead, longing incites us into feeling the love-ache of what we really value, and it matures us into becoming and creating that which matters most, like an embodied prayer that lays our life on the altar to serve what we love.

Internet

I spent an hour in the bank with my dad,

as he had to transfer some money. I couldn’t resist

myself and asked…

”Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?”

”Why would I do that?” He asked…

”Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for

things like making a transfer.

You can even do your shopping online. Everything will

be so easy!”

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of

Net banking.

He asked ”If I do that, I wont have to step out of the

house?”

”Yes, yes”! I said. I told him how even groceries can

be delivered at your door now and how amazon

delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied.

He said ”Since I entered this bank today, I have met

four of my friends, I have chatted awhile with the staff

who know me very well by now.

You know, I am alone…this is the company that I need.

I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have

enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.

Two years back, I got sick. The store owner from whom

I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside

and cried.

When your Mom fell down a few days back while on

her morning walk, our local grocer saw her and

immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows

where I live.

Would I have that ‘human’ touch if everything became

online?

Why would I want everything delivered to me and force

me to interact with just my computer?

I like to know the person that I’m dealing with and not

just the ‘seller’. It creates bonds of Relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?”’

Technology isn’t life..

Spend time with people .. Not with devices.

Alcohol

I went to a play date the other day at someone’s house. Almost the moment I stepped through the front door, the mom giggled “Mimosa time!” and my body froze up.

I wasn’t prepared for this.

Most times, when I’m heading to a social gathering, I have time to prepare. I mentally prepare, I physically prepare (I always bring a kombucha with me), I emotionally prepare.

I think about what I will say when someone asks why I’m not drinking. I think about how deep I want to get in the conversation — because some days I’m ready to go there, and other days I want to talk about anything BUT that.

Today, because I was so caught off guard, I probably looked like a deer in headlights. I almost said “Yes” and thought about just pretending to sip it. But I said “Not right now, I’m good thank you” and the conversation veered to something else.

But it came up again about 15 minutes later. And again another 15 minutes later. And I was practically banging my head against the wall mentally thinking “why don’t I just tell her I don’t drink?”

But I didn’t. I was afraid she would think I wasn’t fun. I was afraid she wouldn’t want to have more play dates with me.

I read a meme yesterday that said “I determine my kids play dates by which mom I want to drink wine with”.

Being alcohol free can truly feel ostracizing. And it’s strange to think that alcohol is the only drug that we have to explain NOT using.

Time to change the narrative. Alcohol free is a choice that should not require an explanation, embarrassment or fear of condemnation. #changethenarrative

Childress on Gardner

Debate. I wanna debate someone sometime.

I don’t care who, I don’t care what it’s about. It can be about forensic psychology. It can be about Gardner’s PAS. It can be about AB-PA. It can be about the future of the family courts.

Forensic psychology is a failed experiment in service delivery that needs to end, and we need to return to clinical psychology – diagnosis and treatment – in the family courts.

Forensic psychology needs to end. It solves nothing and never has.

Gardner’s PAS is the worst model for a pathology ever developed in the history of humanity – the worst – in 2013 it had a full and complete review by the American Psychiatric Association and it was fully rejected as a diagnostic construct.

The Gardnerian PAS “experts” are a fringe group of mental health people (not professionals) who reject the diagnostic guidance of the American Psychiatric Association and the ethical guidance of the American Psychological Association.

Forensic psychology and Gardner’s PAS are both creations of the pathology designed to degrade the mental health response to the pathology. We need to return to clinical psychology.

We need to establish standards of practice to which ALL mental health people can be held accountable – this is the APA ethics code. Everyone – everyone – must apply exactly the same knowledge (the best) to reach exactly the same conclusions (accurate) and make exactly the same recommendations (effective).

Everyone must be held accountable to ethical standards of practice – ethical practice is not optional – it is required… mandatory… no exceptions because you think you’re “special” – everyone.

Do you want to argue that? Fine. Let’s debate. A 2-hour moderated online debate – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: The Role of Forensic and Clinical Psychology in the Family Courts – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: Does PAS Offer a Solution to Custody Conflict in the Family Courts? Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: Does AB-PA Offer a Solution to Custody Conflict in the Family Courts? Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: AB-PA vs. PAS as a Solution for the Family Courts – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: Does “Parental Alienation” Exist? – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: Are Forensic Psychology and PAS Creations of the Pathology? – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

Topic: Anything You’d Like – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

A 2-hour online moderated debate – Dr. Chidress vs. Anyone about anything. Pick the topic, pick the opponent, set the date and the platform, send me an invite… and let’s debate the issues.

Dr. Childress vs. Anyone about anything.

Bill Bernet? Jennifer Harman? Karen Woodall? Anyone?

Stahl or Simon? Susan Deutsch? Matthew Sullivan? Anyone?

Crickets is all I hear. The pathogen does not want to debate issues, it wants to hide in ignorance and apathy.

If there’s a debate… there’s clarity… and it remains online, up on the Internet for everyone to see. The pathogen does not want to be seen. They refuse to debate because they will be exposed for all to see.

I know that. They know that. I see the pathogen moving in minds that you don’t necessarily see… yet.

Forensic psychology and Gardner’s PAS are products of a pathogen – a trauma pathogen in the attachment networks – their purpose is to degrade the mental health response in the family courts.

Forensic psychology is the capture – PAS is the bait.

Find a forensic psychologist or PAS “expert” who disagrees – Debate – a 2-hour moderated online Debate: Is Forensic Psychology a Product of the Pathology it Seeks to Solve?

Find a Gardnerian “expert” who disagrees – Debate – a 2-hour moderated online Debate: Was PAS Created by the Pathology as Bait for Parents?

Topic: Is Forensic Psychology in Violation of Multiple Ethical Standards and Principles of the APA Ethics Code?

Affirmative – Dr. Childress
Negative – ? ? ? no one… because it’s true.

The forensic psychologists are exploiting a “vulnerable population” (compromised autonomy in decision-making) for their own personal financial gain. Forensic psychology is in violation of Principle D Justice protections for equal-access and equal-quality of services. Forensic psychologists are routinely and consistently in violation of Standards 2.04, 9.01, 2.01, and 3.04 of the APA ethics code, and routinely in violation of the duty to protect obligations.

Debate – Dr. Childress vs. Anyone.

July, 2022… I wonder how long they can hide? The pathogen loves to hide. That’s it’s first defense. It’s second defense is to seek allies. Don’t agree… let’s debate it – anywhere – anytime – anyone.

The pathogen hides… not anymore.

Let ‘Em Go Sherrie Campbell PhD

Severely character disordered people aren’t going to change. When these people are your family or someone else you love dearly, this is a hard truth to accept. It is not that these people cannot change, it is that they see no need to change.

Why would they change if they don’t value love? Their approach to relationships is to take everything for themselves so they are happy. Yet, the irony is that there is never enough of anything or anyone that satisfies their needs for happiness.

Many question ask how our toxic family members can they be so totally okay when losing a relationships with us. The answer is, they don’t see it as their loss. They see our losing a relationship with them as our loss.

They do not allow themselves to take ownerships for the truth of why we end relationships with them because they never genuinely cared about our happiness to begin with.

Let them go. Move on. Find your happiness. Live your best life while they continue to live lying to themselves.
