wander around the streets of nude port i meet an old friend, ying who used to be an accountant last time i saw her, now she says she is a white light healer channeling the arch angel raphiel, she has been directed by this angel to offer me a free pass to the mind body spirit festival. 
we sit in her office, it's quite lush, she makes me a chinese tea and i hand her some snuff music in exchange for the ticket. then she starts telling me her information via the archangel raphiel.
firstly she says i have many angels protecting me, she says that i work with angels but only she works with the archangel raphiel and i need to learn more about them. she says her power is stronger than shamanic power, and starts to use the old territorial spiritual game. i immediately challenge this nonsense, although i am respectful i explain the ego nature in the healing arts and how as soon as some one begins to claim their energy is truer or deeper than anothers that they have lost power. she's a bit surprised i've responded this way, i have no wish to take her beliefs away but she begins to instil her beliefs upon me, quite forcibly in a jehovahs witness kinda way.
we sip this lovely tea and she offers me a biscuit, its all very nice but then she starts her power game again. i have to interrupt her and suggest that her language may not be the same as mine but we are speaking about energies that are basically the same. she refuses to think i can know anything about these things and that then starts to say shaman, witches, pranic healers, reiki and energetic healers are all inferior to her white light energy healing. i explain to her that such statements indicate a basic insecurity in her source, for whatever source we use it cares little for anything else but the healing of people, the names are all just words. the conversation ends and i wander out to talk to the health food shop people who has very kindly offered to sell my cd snuff music.
they confess a dilemma, his customers are disturbed by the cd title and complained, he is not sure if he can stock it. he says he has not heard it although his brother has and loves it. 
i say that if people are offended by the word then they probably should actually go home and have a cup of tea and never venture out into the world again. if people react that strongly to the title then they obviously should not buy it. 
a customers picks it up and looks at it, she says she didn't think anything negative about it. i suggest that snuff music could be about snorting tobacco. the owner of the shop looks nervous, he's faced with a moral dilemma, i say, it's no problem, it's actually a good sign because 99% of people live in abject fear and this is exactly what snuff music is about. so new age folk who buy food from the health food shop have judged snuff music by the cover, very enlightening. 
i ring val up and share the news, he's really happy about this. me to, i think it's great news. it proves to me that snuff music is not for zombies.
