The Daily Write: Behind the Curtains (July 18, 2012. 12 minutes)

Behind the Camera

When someone tells you they can read your mind, be afraid. When they want to read your sacred rose, step away. When they can channel your past lives through "The Jesus Entity," put away your wallet. When you have the chance to meet Ramtha in person, or rather, in the embodiment of JZ Knight, pass it up and go to Wolf Haven instead.

If you are going to get your chart done, tell the reader that it is unacceptable to tell you they "see nothing" after 50. Believe me, you will spend the rest of your life, whatever little is left, waiting to die or lose your memory in 2015.

If you are going to have a drunken woman, ostensibly the mother of your thieving friend, read your palm, for god's sake, do not take stock in the things she says - especially that bit about how having a mole on one palm is okay, but if you get on on the other, it's all over. And don't sit around waiting for one of your twin brothers to bite it before he's 21. Especially after they turn 38.

If your dad tells you the photo you sent him of your daughter was "garbage" and they didn't keep it, ignore him. Do not take anything personally, especially the things that are exactly that.

And if you decide that you can finally overcome your fear of meditation, then please don't mistrust every entity you encounter on "the other side." They can't all be bad. Wait. Reverse that. They are all bad. You can't be sure who to trust. Not in the real world (however fake it might be, Maya and all) or in the internal world.

You might laugh it all off, but you are haunted. Don't lie. Don't pretend it's all okay. When you can't trust your insides or your outsides and you fear people getting into your head and looking at all your thoughts it gets a little too close for comfort. Like this: turn on your computer camera. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Is it on?

Okay, now break the light that turns green or red to alert you the camera is on.

Place some Skype calls.

Chat on IM.

Go to sleep. Get up in the morning. Get on the computer. Remember, your camera is on. Only, you're not connected to anyone. Are you? Are you sure? You can't really know. Go get some duct tape out of your drawer and put the tape over the camera. Now call yourself from another computer to see if any light or image comes through.

Are you safe now? Do you feel you have privacy? Are you sure.

Damn. I can't get the guru out of my head. It's bringing me down.
