Tolerance and the Human Spirit by: John Culbertson

2009-05-30T07:48:00.000-07:00

Tolerance And The Human Spirit by John Culbertson

What does the term 'tolerance' mean to you? To many people it seems that it is synonymous with phrases such as 'to put up with', often harking back to classroom scenarios of the teacher informing noisome students that he will not tolerate such behaviour. Certainly it would often seem to be the case that the word 'tolerate' is associated with negativity, and that to tolerate something is to put up with a situation which may engender negative or unwelcome feelings.

Yet often we are advised that toleration is a skill which is increasingly necessary in an increasingly diverse society. The word is that a society which is tolerant is more peaceful, and harmonious.

Putting these two concepts together, on the one hand the common association of tolerance with something that might otherwise be discouraged, with the expectation that such behaviour would give rise to a more integrated and understanding society, does raise some questions, and would not appear to be sitting at ease together.

If the tolerant individual is one who puts up with the fact that other people are different, whether through skin colour, race, creed, religious belief, moral belief or political persuasion, then is that individual one who can be said to be a catalyst for cultural diversity and acceptance? Certainly if we accept the commonly held stigmatism of tolerance as harbouring negative thoughts and feelings, then it would suggest not.

But let us consider the nature of society, and in particular, the society that the intolerant individual may prefer. Since toleration implies differences which can encourage resentment, suspicion and doubt as far as individual differences are concerned, perhaps the intolerant society would be one where everybody is the same?

Prejudice has found more ways to manifest itself than one might imagine. Whether prejudice rises as a result of gender differences - and not merely the simple classification of male and female, or through skin colour, hair colour, religious beliefs, dietary beliefs, size, dress preferences or political beliefs, the one thing that is clear is that within any social group of almost any size, there will be opportunities for prejudice. This is simply due to the basic and most fundamental fact of being human - that we are all different.

So if being human is to be different, unique, individual in our collective choices and heritage, then being human is also by definition, to be subject , at least potentially, to prejudice.

Toleration is either the 'putting up with' differences, or perhaps it should be considered more as the acceptance of those differences. Taking this idea further, we could consider the radical idea that to be human must necessarily to be tolerant - since we have to accept that we are all different in one way or another, and that to deny this, or be repelled at the thought if the concept, is to refuse to accept the most fundamental aspect of our humanity. Difference.

One of the biggest challenges we have is perhaps to try to change the general perception of the world toleration. The fact that it is so closely paired to the word prejudice, and necessarily has negative connotations presents us with a dilemma. Separating tolerance from prejudice, and seeing the skill of being tolerant as something which is not merely positive, but embraces the human dimension, the human need for individualism and diversity.

No society, regardless of size, could ever flourish or survive if there was no diversity. Even a torrent of seemingly identical ants furtively darting through the cracks in our patio are diverse - they have to be to survive. Some ants have enormous front pincers for fighting and defending the nest, and in fact their mandibles are so big they can't even feed themselves, and so other ants smaller than they are help the colony by feeding those who cannot feed themselves. The queen cannot move, whilst others are adept at building the nest around her. The very survival of a colony of ants depends upon their diversity, and the balance that they manage to create through that variation in size, structure and skill.

How much more diverse and rich is our own culture than that of the ants? Yet it sometimes seems that we look at our diversity as a problem to be tackled, and tolerance is the lesson that we should preach to help to accept such diversity. Yet, just as with the ants, if we lacked that diversity, our society, indeed our human heritage, would dry up, and eventually lead to stagnation and even cultural extinction.

The skill of being a tolerant individual therefore is not merely the ability to put to one side any prejudices we may be tempted to harbour, but the far greater and more meaningful ability to accept and realize that to be human is to be unique, and tolerance is therefore nothing less than our ability to embrace both our own humanity, and humanity as a whole. It is perhaps the most fundamental skill of all, and one that is crucial to our very survival as a species, as countless wars across the eons have taught us.

A Manager's Point of Veiw

2009-05-14T10:48:00.000-07:00

Greetings everyone,

I would like to take some time and give you all a little insight into the world of Starchild. People have been asking me left and right about why I enjoy Starchild as much as I do, and seeing as this is a blog after all I thought I would take the time to tell all of you a little bit about my feelings on the store that I manage. Let me start from the beginning by saying that I have been interested in the world of the unknown for as long as I can remember. I have always wondered about things like Ghost, Psychics, and Magick. I had a few experiences with the Other Side when I was young, talking to my Great Grandmother who had passed, seeing htings before they happened, and I always wanted to learn more. I guess what I am saying is that I am like all of you out there. I have the thirst for knowledge and understanding of the mysteries of the Universe. When I found Starchild for the first time I was truly thrilled, and a little apprehensive. After visiting often I realized that there were many people out there that were just like me! I found that I could talk, comfortably with the people at the store about my experiences, and they were always willing to help aid in my personal self discovery. They were very grounded, and yet completely understood the feelings that I had in regards to many of my experiences. It was at that moment that I knew I had to be a part of it. I knew that I had to learn more and use that knowledge to help others to understand their experiences!

After I began working at Starchild I saw that there was much more to be done! I watched as people came in and out of the store purchasing candles, incense, sage, crystals, books and many other items. I saw that not only was this a place that had a staff of knowledgeable people but they also had the supplies and items that were also needed by others that were on their journey's in this field. It was more than just teaching people, it was helping them in every way! As the store grew I began to see that others began to gain more interest in the things that we do. They began to research psychic phenomina, and were often a bit confused or misled by many things that they heard. At that point I understood even more why I enjoy Starchild so much. We were able to help those people, those ones that may have at first had no belief in the world of the unkown, and aid them in understanding some of the mysteries that surround us. We were able to help to open their eyes and their minds, and in doing so able to help the world to evolve.

Starchild is full of caring people, and people that are willing to listen and teach. As we teach others and they learn from us, we learn from them as well keeping this constant knowledge ever growing within the field. Every person that I talk to, on the phone, in store, or even online Ilearn something from, and they learn from me. It is that wisdom that is continually moving forward and helping the universe and the people within it to learn, grow and trancend!

Starchild is a place of experience. To walk into the store and feel the energy that surrounds you makes you feel as if you are part of a bigger picture. A larger event full of understanding loving and helpful people who want to serve you and give you what you need whether it be any of the thousands of items that we carry both in store and in our online store, or just someone to talk to about experiences that you have had and need insight on. This is why I enjoy Starchild, and why I am so proud to say that I am the store manager of Starchild to everyone that I meet! We are constantly changing, with new lessons and ways of thought popping up all over you will always be pleasantly surprised here! So come and visit us sometime, whether you have seen us before, or it is your first time you will certainly feel like a welcomed member of the family!

Starchild also supplies merchandise and books for all of your metaphysical and Higher learning needs. Visit our online store at www.starchildbooks.com and see why Starchild is Where All Parths Meet As One!

Psychic Tarot and Native American Tarot

Tarot readings are also highly individualized readings. All of our Tarot Readers use a 78 card deck, although their decks vary in type. They also use different card layouts to do their readings. All are experienced, highly competent, future-oriented readers who are able to channel information from your guides and angels as they do your reading.

Their gift is in helping you, through the cards, to get a better handle on what's going on in your life right now by getting better insight into where it's going!

Spirit Communication (Mediumship)

A Spirit Medium is a psychic trained in the art of communicating with people who have crossed over into death, and/or your guides. All of our Spirit Mediums are highly trained, very gifted individuals who often receive real evidence of life after death in their readings. This is a highly individualized form of reading, so although all of our Mediums are excellent at what they do, you may have more success with one over another. We suggest you try them all!

Unfortunately, a Spirit Medium is unable choose who will come through in your reading. You're more than welcome to ask to speak with a specific individual, but please do not be upset if the Medium is unable reach that person! Often a different spirit with a more powerful 'voice' will come through first, in order to 'open the door' to the one you're trying to contact. Also, if you are in a highly emotional state it may make it impossible for the Medium to do the reading properly!

Palmistry

This is the art, science, and practice of telling fortunes and interpreting character from the lines and configurations of the palm of a person's hand.

Reiki

Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique for relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

Numerology

A numerology reading is a reading that uses the numbers contained in your month, day, and year of birth, and the letters in your name (the given name on your birth certificate) to tell you things about yourself that will simply amaze you! This type of reading can give insight into your personality, your karma and life challenges, the type of person you're best suited to take as your life partner, and even what's coming up in the next 'cycle' of your life!

Astrology

An Astrology reading consists of a personality profile on you, based on your planets and signs. It includes positive and negative character traits, insights into your early family life (if you are interested in that) and areas you may struggle with along with the positive abilities you possess to overcome these struggles.

Additionally, astrology can look at possible future influences that are coming into your life, it can also tell you the strengths and weaknesses of a relationship, and it can even tell you about how someone's death has affected certain people and what the deceased are now doing on the other side

Psychic Channeled

Channeling is when a reader connects to guides, their own or their clients, and the information coming through is from those guides. A channeled reading is usually a combination reading that uses some astrology, numerology, and tarot in combination with information from the reader's and your own guides to provide information to you that is normally connected to the future possibilities that are ahead. Since this reading is channeled there is no way to really know what will come through ahead of time, just that if it comes through it is important for some reason. Sometimes this reading will discuss psychological issues and there are other times when people who have crossed over may even stop by for a visit. Most of the time the focus will be on the present leading into the future.

Guided Meditations

Many people on our staff are capable of leading you through a guided meditation. Anything from sitting pranic or still breath meditation to chakra meditations. Past life meditations can be done as can meeting your spirit totem animals and meeting your guide meditations.

Spiritual Coaching

A coach is an individual that instructs, inspires, and trains others to work toward becoming the best that they can be. It is NOT a therapist, counselor, legal advisor, financial advisor, or medical advisor. Coaching does not involve "reading", it involves listening, honing your visions, keeping you focused on your goals, and a certain degree of advising. It also involves challenging you and holding you accountable. The coach is honest and at times demanding, but seeks to aid you in your growth and development. John offers spiritual coaching, in order to help you define your spiritual beliefs, live according to them, and grow in your spirituality.

Spirit Guide Drawing

Who are your spirit guides? Every human being has spirit guides. These spirit guides are designed in our lives to help us grow, learn, and even protect us. They are with us all the time. This reading usually involved some channeled information while the reader draws your guide from which the information is coming from.

Spirit Guide Reading

The purpose of this particular reading is to connect with, describe, and deliver information from your own spirit guides. Usually more than one guide comes through.

Pet Energy Work

By doing energy work on the animal and entering into a telepathic rapport with him/her, a person doing the pet communication is capable of understanding and many times verbalizing the animals wants/needs/concerns etc.

Karmic Release and Energy Balancing

The limits we experience in our physical, mental and spiritual expressions are acquired and stored in our subconscious over many lifetimes, is our Karma. A person’s outer world is a reflection of their inner world. When we release our fears, and other negative beliefs about ourselves or the world, the people and situations around us change. This technique reaches you on a cellular level of karmic agreements, karmic debts, and karmic limitations. It can clear many issues from your past--releasing feelings, issues and patterns of betrayal, abuse, fear, revenge, anger, self-criticism, etc. You then recreate your body and your life with purity and love. The Spirit Yogi Master that works with me on these healings along with the Divine Mother, is Swami Shri Kripalvanandji, lovingly referred to as Bapuji. This technique works closely with your own higher self, releasing your obstacles on very deep levels. We start by speaking briefly about the issues you wish to release. I will also use my intuition and guidance to release things as I see them. Spoken affirmations on that level will be heard through out your entire being and release immediately. You then just need to relax, breathe and let go!

Feng Shui

This is the Chinese art or practice of creating harmonious surroundings that enhance the balance of yin and yang, as in arranging furniture or determining the sitting of a house.

Others

These are other types of readings and services that may be available. Call for more information.

Scrying: This is also called crystal gazing and is the art of interpreting symbols by entering into a light trance state and gazing at into a certain object (usually a crystal ball). This is what many people think of when they think of "fortune telling" and is infamously known through Hollywood as the old gypsy rubbing and starring at the crystal ball. Scrying can be done in other surfaces too, such as water, clouds, floor tiles, mirrors, and pretty much anything else you can think of.

Tea Leaf/Coffee Grind Reading: The art of interpreting the tea leaf or coffee grinds that are left in the bottom of a cup after you drink the beverage.

Dream Interpretation: Our dreams tend to hold many symbols. This is the art of looking at the symbol and finding the meaning of it and then applying that meaning to your life. It may include precognitive (future) information or help one to a greater understanding of a present or past situation or personality.

Psychometry: This is where a psychic gets information by touching an object and reading the vibrations and memories associated with it.

Pendulums: Using a pendulum to do divination and get answers from guides or your own energy.

Past Life Tarot: A special type of Tarot Reader in which the reader is able to tell you about either your past life/lives, or about patterns from your past lives that you are working with in the present.

Crystal Bowl Concert
W/ Robert Austin

Sat 5-02-09
7pm
$20

Robert Austin uses a multitude of Crystal and Tibetan Bowls for Concert Performances.

The pure tones of crystal bowls carry through physical objects quite well. Due to the crystalline nature of the human body and it's ability to resonate with specific frequencies, we can benefit greatly by these pure tones.

One reason the pure tones vibrate our body is that it has a natural affinity to quartz. The human body is composed of many crystalline substances, the bones, blood and DNA are crystalline in structure as well as the liquid crystal-colloidal structure of the brain. Even on a molecular level, our cells contain silica, which balances our electromagnetic energies, and this is the same substance found in quartz crystal.

Only Love is Real Concert
W/ Martin & Connie Jordan of Pure Heart
5-16-09
7pm
$25 with Atlantis Card or $35 @ the door

Connie and Martin Jordan have recorded and released

their first musical CD, “PureHeart – Only Love Is Real”, since the

passing of their son, Andrew in October 2007. The bereaved Florida

couple, inspired by the spirit of their deceased son, will also be

embarking on an international concert tour with the intention of helping

others heal their grief through music and stories.

Martin and Connie, both psychic mediums for over 10 years, lost their

son after a short battle with Leukemia. Andrew was 16 years old. After

Andrew’s crossing, his parents were still able to communicate with him.

Inspired by his messages, they decided to write music and share their

story of eternal love with others.

“Part of us felt that there was no way to recover from something like

the physical loss of our child,” stated Martin, “Shortly after Andrew

crossed, he began to give us songs and stories to share and we knew we

had to share Andrews spirit so we could continue to help others.”

Martin and Connie were inspired by their son to put together music

projects that bring together people of all walks of life to share and

enjoy messages from the “other side”.

During their unique live performances, Andrew “talks” and the couple

listens. They receive lyrics and melodies mixed with messages of hope

that lift up audiences. The concert is about healing and moving through

all kinds of grief.

“Grief affects everyone,” says Martin, “You can lose a loved one, a pet,

a job, a way of life, or even an idea. Andrew’s music will make you

laugh and cry. And at some point during the event, you will experience

your own kind of healing.”

To register for this awesome concert experience please call us at 941-743-0800.

crossed, he began to give us songs and stories to share and we knew we

had to share Andrews spirit so we could continue to help others.”

Martin and Connie were inspired by their son to put together music

projects that bring together people of all walks of life to share and

enjoy messages from the “other side”.

During their unique live performances, Andrew “talks” and the couple

listens. They receive lyrics and melodies mixed with messages of hope

that lift up audiences. The concert is about healing and moving through

all kinds of grief.

“Grief affects everyone,” says Martin, “You can lose a loved one, a pet,

a job, a way of life, or even an idea. Andrew’s music will make you

laugh and cry. And at some point during the event, you will experience

your own kind of healing.”

To register for this awesome concert experience please call us at 941-743-0800.

Here are what others say about James:

"Thank you so much for the reading. I feel like I've had a message from Heaven and I can't tell you what comfort it has brought me in the midst of my difficulties. You were connecting to my Dad and he/you have given me plenty to think about...not least that my sadness is making him sad so I will try to be more positive from now on. The astrology was 'spot on' and also very helpful...it has made me see how I react in some circumstances which I will try to use to my advantage. Once again, than you for your time and expertise. Wishing you many Blessings.LesleyOnline email client

"I want to thank you, James Higgins, for the reading you did for me... At the very beginning of the reading you started with a sentence, "I've been saying for years". I was shocked when you brought out my dad's exact words and actions, you talked just like him and acted the way he did when he was alive, words and actions! My dad has been gone for almost 14 years. He died very sudden, with so many unanswered questions. You were right on with so many things! It felt like, I sat down with my family, and they came threw you! You have a tremendous gift. I have listened to the tape and still get goose bumps. You have answered every question I've been dwelling on for years. I just wish I would have done it sooner. Thank you so much. GailPort Charlotte, FL.
"Thank you very much for the reading you gave me Friday. I always had the feeling my grandfather was watching over me. It just felt real good to know my feelings were right. When I replayed the tape everything was so much clearer. Maybe next time we can talk about the 'hood' in NY again (heeheehee).JenniferNorthport, Fl."I received my tapes today of [the] reading done via telephone on Oct.13th...Thank you. Some things that didn't seem relevant on the phone made more sense hearing them again. James, you sent me a message from my beloved father, and I thank you, also, the Uncle person, much loved, came through strongly. I have recommended your company to several of my friends."Rochelle Clear Lake, CA.

Peace River Ghost Tracker is a very professional minded and experienced paranormal investigation group based out of Port Charlotte, Florida. We go out to any site that has reports of paranormal or unexplained activity that may be associated with spirits. We look to the natural and the logical to find out the possible causes.

When we started the group back in 2000 we realized that this a ongoing learning experience. We are open minded to new methods and theories and the main goal is to learn more about spirit and the proof that they exist.

Our main goal is to help people understand and co-habitate with what we cannot see. We are as thorough as humanly possible with our evidence. We are here to help..

As our motto states-When we have an "experience" we "learn" all we can from it and then "teach" to all.

Come and spend the evening with us to learn how it's done and see what evidence we have collected.
This one night workshop is great for anyone interested in the world of Ghost Hunting and Investigation. Learn what a Ghost Investigator really does as well as the tools that they use to gather information.
