10. Pekingese hero. Sister saw too

While taking texts from a fellow cat friend, I ruminate on who my neighbor was, before his end. Also, 2 of 3 names may have been found, and the hunt for truth, continues. Also, my sister remembers her precognition, the night before the tragedy. Recorded 4/18/21, uploaded 4/28/21. The events discussed at the house, happened 30-50 years ago. _____________________ This is the House on Valencia Street.

9. The Joy of Yellow Shag Carpet

9. The Joy of Yellow Shag Carpet

"I got to see some things. Then I got to try some things." Poor people have different options for mental health help, and support groups, and hospice grief support were two options that helped me. I do not offer advice, just tools that helped me. In the land of BDSM, you can share space, with different focus. I share one rape survivor's request for support to gain control over a traumatic event, where her "No" was respected, which healed her. Later, the carpet gives mom reason, to keep us laughing. _________________ This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist, and I'm talking about it.

8. Mama Valkyrie

Mom busted open the front door, ushering us to safety. The silence outside was palpable. The next part of our story, here at the House on Valencia Street - the day our neighbor ended things. This share offers more detail on just who my mother is, and why she still makes me giggle. Also, studying empathy disordered people, can help save you from harm's way. One empathy disordered person can harmfully impact dozens of others. Let's learn their patterns of communication, to avoid predation. *I mention the year 2012 at some point during this pod. I meant to say 2021. ______________ This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist, and I'm talking about it.

6. It's alive, I think? Descartes

6. It's alive, I think? Descartes

On this episode, we explore amongst ghosts, murder and the like, what is sentience, and being alive? Descartes thought quite a bit on this, as did Christina of Sweden. I share my perspective as a torture and rape survivor, what sentience can mean when healing. An illustration from the movie Brazil, offers focus. Also, Buddhism can offer a calm space within, that might just keep you safe, in one form. Our minds can be the abode, with practice. *Correction: Descartes referred to a *pencil* in the glass of water, in the Discourse on the Method, rather than a utensil. ________________ This is the House on Valencia Street.

5. How this psychic, reads you.

5. How this psychic, reads you.

This missive's meander shares focus with prefrontal cortex damage, and how this might be key in understanding some predators. I personally feel brain damage is an under diagnosed cause of much rage management issue. Also, I share how I do a psychic reading. I share what it feels like to observe and scry, or pull very specific uncanny information, with no physical method. Knowing they had a big teddy bear dog, that was bigger than the boy. _______________________ This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist.

4. Cup of tea, for PTSD

4. Cup of tea, for PTSD

How ancestors pull your spirit work, and how meditation may find a way. Surviving sexual abuse, and accepting that your neighbors might be just fine with you being abused. Options are mentioned, to find safety. I discuss tools for managing my PTSD symptoms. Also, let the rape survivor, claim space on how they discuss their own rape. Lastly, BDSM and kink may be an empowering way to regain power. _________________ This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist.
