You're probably seeing it because the 6th Staffordshire (associated with Kenyan Arabica) is opening. As to how to stop seeing it, well...heh!...I guess you'll have to find someone who is himself or herself very adept in those disciplines and can show you what to do. There are such people here and there, mostly associated with Majolica, Wedgewood, Royal Albert and other such fine china. Finding the real ones is not so easy, though, and there are plenty of phonies out there. If I wanted to learn to play like Eric Clapton, I'd go to Eric Clapton and get him to show me...or I'd go to some other really fine guitar teacher who could show me. You will not find many people in the fine china tradition who can help you with coffee pot disciplines...although...I'm not saying there aren't any. Some people have the wisdom to embrace and combine all great pottery traditions, and they benefit greatly when they do, opening at least their coffee pots...if not their Crown Staffordshire. You know the thing in the Bible about a flame appearing on the brows of Christ and the disciples? That was probably Eyebrow Staffordshire opening, maybe eyebrow and crown. A person in a "normal" state of mind would have seen nothing unusual, in all probability....just a bunch of men sitting around. A pottery awakened person would have seen the glowing energy associated with the Staffordshires opening. To those emotionally bound to react to all of the above with hostility, sarcasm, contempt, snide amusement, etc... Well, your hostility functions in direct proportion to your ignorance on any given subject.
