WHO IS PAUL JAMES CAIDEN (PART 3)

     One of the things that really shaped my life in the early years occured back in the November of 1979. I was twelve years old, and not a very happy child at that moment. There seemed to be a lot of negativity in my life at that young age. I won't go into all the details about what was happening at that time, but through it all I was very blessed to have what we call an angelic encounter. It was a very strange occurrence, and at the start I was quite fearful of what was happening. But it didn't take long for the aura of unconditional love that radiated from the being to win me over and make me feel more secure. During this encounter, a lot of information was imparted to my soul, information that was beyond my young mind to come up with on its own. It was a time of great wonderment but also a lot of questions.

     My encounter was different than others I have read about in popular books, in that it reoccurred over many years. As I grew older I was unsure about a great many things about the encounter; and even questioned my own sanity. After all, angels always popping up in my life at unexpected times... especially when times were tough. But then in 2004, one of the most dynamic encounters with the angel took place. And to me surprise, many odd and unexplained things began to happen in the presence of others: celestial music would play out of nowhere, floating orbs of light would slowly drift through the room, the smell of flowers and the sound of bells ringing would come out of thin air. After these things were witnessed so many times by other individuals, I knew that the angelic encounter was not just a figment of my imagination.

     To go into all the details about what happened during those encounters would take many, many blogs. But suffice it to say, it was life changing for me. It truly made me realize that we are not alone in this universe, and something very big and loving watches over us all... If you would like to read the details of the entire encounter, I would invite you to read my book, An Angel Came Down, .. It is a book that I am very proud of, and one that I hope will change the life perspective of the reader as well.

WHO IS PAUL JAMES CAIDEN (PART 2)

     As far as religion goes, I was exposed to some very negative concepts at a young age. The days of my grandparent's positive spin on God and heaven were short lives. Once my parents got more serious about spirituality, they began to take my brother and I to a hellfire and brimstone church. It was in this church that I heard how God punished people severely for their sins. If we stubbed our toe, broke our leg, caught a cold or died pf cancer, it was God's way of giving us a spiritual spanking for our short comings... It was an idea that filled me with fear for many years to come; and I no longer believed that the man upstairs was my friend.

     Even at a very early age, I was interested in the power of the mind and psychic phenomenon. Religion however told me that these things were evil and sinful. But eventually, curiousity got the better of me and I began to explore other aspects of spiritual belief. I dabbled in the New Age, experimented with different aspects of magic and even walked a mile or two as a pagan. So where do I stand spiritually once the dust of many years had settled? I believe in the more metaphysical philosophies or "Mind Sciences," as some call them. I still have my splash of New Age beliefs and also a hint of Spiritualism thrown in. I believe in God, angels, life beyond death and that the universe is basically a good and friendly place. I was fortunate enough in life to also have some very mind blowing spiritual experiences that helped to throw off the chains of religious fear and eventually find my way back to a more positive belief system.... But we will discuss those experiences tomorrow.



WHO IS PAUL JAMES CAIDEN (PART 1)

     I thought for the rest of this week, we would take a peek inside my mind and see what makes me tick; sort of a getting to know blog. I suppose to start out, we will delve into where my interest in horror stories and the supernatural came from. To some, it may seem a little strange that a person involved in spirituality and metaphysics would be interested in ghosts, goblins, monsters and zombies. I was first exposed to the world of the unknown and the macabre by my grandparents. When I was quite young, and would spend the night at their house, they would turn off the lights at dusk and spin yarns of ghosts and strange happenings. I always looked forward to these times, and was absolutley fascinated by the thought of it all.

     On those long ago weekends at granny's, we would also all gather around the TV and watch what my grandparents would fondly refer to as a "spook picture." It was also my grandparents who had first exposed me to the concept of God and evening prayers. I don't think anything captivated my young mind as much as these ideas and stories of Divine beings, spirits and other worlds. Needless to say, it was these days of my childhood that planted the seeds that have stuck with me and grown these many years later; and these subjects captivate my mind now just as much as they did way back then...

LABOR DAY

     Whether we have much or have little... we should all be grateful for what we have.

 



V/H/S Horror Movie Review

     Last night I watche the pre-theatrical release of V/H/S on pay per view. The movie came wrapped in much hype and promises of being the scariest movie to come out in years. THE VERDICT: It had some okay ideas, but fell very flat. Nothing was explained, there were far too many blurry/shakey camera shots; there was nothing here that we have not seen before. I do not think it will do well when it comes out in theaters next month. I really wish the writers and director would have fleshed some of these stories out a little more and given us a better product. It seemed like they had a number of incomplete ideas that they just rushed to put on film and disguised it as a slice of life/as it occured horror movie... But it just didn't work out in the end.

 

 

 

HAUNTED

    
     Would you spend labor day weekend in this house? Do you fear the things that go bump in the night? I would bet that their are many roaming spirits behind these fading walls...



SELF LOVE

    Loving yourself and being stuck on yourself are two different things. One emanates from the soul; the other from the ego.
