In the past I have claimed to be an Opener of the Way or
a global shaman, or the latest
avatar/christ/messiah/buddha/maitreya/Prophet/major pagan figure type.

However I cannot really claim any of that, despite
the signs I have experienced so far, until I am
out of the low years.

In the case of past figures their low years have
generally lasted seven years but in my case I am
at 16.75 years and counting. It could be that I
will have to wait until 7+11=18 years (the 11 is
from the 11 year sunspot cycle).

Some of the signs I have experienced so far are:

1. five waning crescent highs from 1991 to 1994
2. clear sky lightning at the start of some such highs
3. a sun stare, with tunneling beyond the sun (the
heavens opened) followed by a descent of wings
and my falling into the water (baptism by nature)
4. a naked thorn hill climb
5. a blue rose vision near the top of the thorns
6. several waxing gibbous moon trials
7. three times a waning crescent high began 5.5 lunar
months (162 days, 6 solar rotations) after onset
of a waxing gibbous moon trial
8. low (a little in terms of mood but more in terms
of creativity and delusion) years began Jan. 29, 1996
and have not ended yet, after 16.75 years. I think
I have had to go so much longer than the usual 7 years
since I have had access to lithium and olanzapine.

Now it could be that e.g. some know of past figures
who have had a blue rose vision but haven't told
me since I don't share their religion, and I attribute
the source of the blue rose vision to Gaia (The Earth)
while they might attribute it to some other source
(e.g. Mary). But I have experienced the sign so they
should acknowledge me (but not follow me, I want no
followers, though I do want my messages read) out
of respect for their own past figures.

Again I cannot claim any lofty title until I come out
of the low years. And I expect that I will have to
edit my Salmon on the Thorns web page a bit before
e.g. Sarah McLachlan might post its URL on her
Facebook and Twitter accounts and thereby possibly
multiply the number of readers by 100. :-)

It might help you to know that your sentence structure suggests that
anything but low years are an impossibility for myou at the moment. I'm
going to point you towards NLP, which I'm quite sure you've studied.
May I suggest that you take another look, from the perspective of the
words you use to describe your experiences. Bandler would say that
you're casting spells on yourself in an unhelpful manner. Take care xx

Consider, perhaps, that what you consider to be before the "low" years
might have been, in fact, a combination of youthful optimism, youthful
exuberance, and a prolonged manic phase of a bipolar disorder.

In other words, what you are experiencing as the "low" years is simply what
everyone normally has. You are physically older, so you do not have as much
energy. You are more mature, thus you have become comparatively realistic
(i.e. cynical) about a life that you can see progressing inexorably towards
an ultimate termination.

In other words, this is it. It doesn't get any better. If you are lucky,
you will die before suffering from debilitating or painful age-related
illnesses.

That being said, it does not mean that we should give up trying to better
ourselves or get as much enjoyment as possible out of life. Make the most
of what you have, but don't expect to ever again feel like you did 17 years
ago.

In article <hLhls.67507$oI6....@newsfe23.iad>,
Indeed, I've been there, but these days my mental health
is relatively good, especially since I gave up doing
perineum click divination three weeks ago.

Thanks for the feedback, I prefer it to silence.
