Sir Plumridge we idiots make up most of the numbers for his precious visioning, of course we would get the blame if it don't work. Who are we to be taken seriously is what I have found. Best you have a couple of OBE or PHDs No room for good people with common sense or knowledge of things. Disaster can befall anyone no one is Immune.
I am sure the idiots will be blamed one way or another, as will the trouble makers and bloggers. Few if any York residents want to sit at the same table with the TMs in case it is contagious.
Mr. Best, York residents have previously put their heart and souls into 'working committees' to help York through rough times and so far we have not seen any outcomes. We spent hours researching, compiling facts, information and figures for footpaths, CBD upgrades and so on, only to see the reports languishing somewhere in a store room. Lots of promises, but absolutely no outcomes.
I respectively suggest, IF Matthew Reid were to call a public meeting in the Town Hall, it would be packed to the ceiling. If he asked for volunteers to help get York up and running, he would be bold over in the rush.
The DLG just don't get it. They made a big mistake but they are not big enough to admit it.
TMs: troublemakers or transcendental meditationists; not sure what you mean, anonymous 25 March 2015 at 05:31. If the former, then I think I know what you have experienced. If the latter, then I expect you mean Envisionists.
What? Has the Indian Aristocracy been resurrected Down Under? They were 'postponed/cancelled' there. Will that happen to them here? Another of them did retire and live up north somewhere. Wonder what happened to him.
Maybe this one will shine on in glory for ever? Those grasping hands in the lower edge of this wonderful image do seem subtly threatening. Do they portend a grave for those caught up?
OK, so he shines on in his CV, earns a good living, and we fall into a trap? But no, I am fantasizing; it can't be true. He is such a nice person, and has such a nice car.
I noticed the Tarot Cards in the picture posted and decided to give James Best a free Tarot reading from the cards drawn.
The first card representing the past is the Magician This card depicts making higher - and better - use of all of one's power. Spiritual, emotional, and otherwise. The Magician often signifies new beginnings and great expectations. This is a very powerful, positive omen in a reading. This card reminds us that we have the power to make a difference, in our lives and in the greater world, if we simply make a point to try. Spiritual events taking place regardless of the "importance" of their superficial appearances. You should be finding that you have the knowledge, strength, and inspiration needed to meet these challenges. There will be an improvement in your work/career life. This points to an excellent time to find new work or to ask for and receive a promotion in your current job if that is possible. Particularly if your work is in a creative field, this is a time when your suggestions and work will be met with excellent comprehension and may lead you to "bigger and better things." This is an excellent time to "get out and meet people." (Maybe Coming to York) The second card the present the Hanged Man generally shows that you are at a crossroads - one with only two options i.e. in or out, up or down, yes or no. You may find yourself very much wanting to do "something" but having no idea what it is or how to do it. If that happens, that's a clear sign that you should stop, relax, and look at ways that you might need to let go of attempts to control life/situations/people/things. It's possible that there is an outdated attitude that you need to let go of. Any sacrifice that you make will open up your life to something even more positive than what you "let go of." All in all this should be a thoughtful, reflective time, particularly if you are willing to look at how you might best serve interests by being willing to change. Nothing much may seem to be happening, and you may well be sick of it. This is a great time to figure out if there is anything that you personally can do about it, if this is the case. Again, the theme can be one of letting go. You may need to "let go" of a vision of a particular kind of relationship as being "the only way that there can be happiness."
The Fool this is the future it is always an indicator of newness; this is generally considered a positive card, with the caveat that it's important to take time to be sure that you are "looking where you're going." Other people may not understand or support your new ideas and/or proposals, but if you know that you're right, press ahead, and try to help them to understand where you are coming from. This sometimes will indicate finding a new position.
The appearance of the Fool in the context could mean that you aren't ready for a commitment yet, even though others may be pressing you for one. This is a positive harbinger for your life; lots of fun seems to be in the offing. Just don't let your desire for moving forward make you overlook "the real things" (Now isn’t that Interesting) I hope you enjoyed your card reading Mr Best.
Psychic, you have inspired me to divine the commissioner’s immediate future by consulting the ancient Chinese oracle, I Ching. Naturally, I relied on Wilhelm’s translation, with a foreword by C G Jung, but I have adapted the language he uses to a more contemporary idiom.
This is the question I put to the oracle: What must James Best do to succeed in his plans for York? I used the coin method of divination, because the dog had eaten my yarrow stalks.
I threw hexagram 8, Pi or Holding Together. This can refer, for example, to building a team. To succeed in that the subject must be sublime, i.e. of majestic intellect, faithful to his purpose and persevering towards his goal.
The hexagram had a moving line, number 3. This says he is getting close to the wrong people, who will lead him astray.
As aficionados of I Ching will know, when you have a moving line it changes the original hexagram into a second one, as an indication of how the present situation is likely to evolve.
This proved to be hexagram 39, Chien or Obstruction. This hexagram says the subject should go to the southwest (say Perth) because being in the northeast (say York) will not do him any good. He should let a wise person be his guide, which I interpret to mean he should keep reading and paying attention to the blog.
Above all, he must adopt a flexible attitude to what is going on around him, not get stuck in one perspective on the world. I interpret that to mean that ‘envisioning’ the future can be perilous, bearing in mind that we hardly know what’s going to happen next week, let alone in 30 years time. ‘The best laid plans of mice and men gang oft agley.’
Thank you, Psychic, for showing me a different metaphysical path to the truth. We mystics must stick together!
Postponed or cancelled? I'm told not many people have turned up to the sessions held so far.
ReplyDeleteI hope we 'idiots' aren't going to get the blame for this. We'll have to stop writing 'bullshit' on the blog.
Perhaps we should revive the committees set up by Shire President Reid.

Whither is fled that visionary gleam?
