Psychic Illumination

Nostradamus and secret psychics

Okay, I'm braking just about every rule of good marketing by posting this.  But I just don't give a damn anymore!  This is my experience as a modern psychic.

Born on the 14th of December in 1503, Nostradamus was French apothecary and reputed seer.  Undoubtedly one of the most famous psychics in history, he is credited with predicting the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler.

This is a man, as a modern mystic, that I have serious admiration for.  And it's not just because of his reputed accuracy.  Accuracy comes with practice and determination.  What I admire the most about the ancient seer is the way he successfully balanced the world of religion and mysticism.

You see, modern psychics, especially men, are subjected to the most humiliating stigma.  Women experience this too, but not as bad as men.  There are so many times, especially as a social, religious, and political conservative, I have just wanted to hide my abilities, deny they exist and just fit in.  It would be so nice, so comfortable.  And yet that doesn't seem to be my mission.  

I am perfectly okay with crowds and have no problem with public speaking.  But it still wears me out.  I need my solitude and meditation time.  And the ultra liberalism within the 'new age' movement just about makes me crazy.  Never have I seen a more destructive group of policies and beliefs as I see in modern liberalism today.  How liberals can expect to create a more positive, constructive society with their strategies, I don't know.  They are going in the absolute opposite direction of their stated goals. 

One of the most expansive times I ever had as a psychic was when I went completely underground, denied that I was psychic (publicly), and just Remote Viewed every chance I got.  I did this for approximately six months.  I RVed at least one a day, but on rare occasion, four times in one day.  It was fantastic!  I didn't have to fight with anyone, defend myself or my abilities and could explore the whole universe with my mind!  While it was lonely, it was almost worth it.

You see, as a public psychic, I have often been forced to either defend myself or my abilities by incessant demands that I 'prove' them.  Of course, for the hostile skeptics, with their transparent agenda, there is no proof that will suffice.  It is even less likely that they will agree to any reasonable, scientific test.   Being a private, or even secret psychic, has multitudinous advantages. 

This brings me to another interesting point.  I recently discovered that a woman I have always been suspicious of here in Jacksonville is a practicing psychic on Keen, and obviously skilled.  She does not use her real name, like I do on Keen.  She doesn't even tell her psychic friends here in town.  But it is her, no doubt.  Same pictures on her public profiles and everything.  I have always been suspicious of this woman because I could always tell she was hiding something, and now I know what.  

This woman has caused all kinds of problems and been the instigator of countless conflicts with the budding 'new age' community here in Jacksonville.  And yet she always claims complete innocence.  Now, why would this woman hide her abilities from her friends?  The answer is obvious: because her false front allows her room to maneuver while sabotaging her supposed friend's efforts.  It's a masterful plan, I must admit.  She has to be one of the most subversive people I have ever known.

I get very tempted to do as she does.  Not the sabotage part, but the secrecy; the privacy.  I get tempted to change my name to some kind of funky nickname, deny psychic abilities publicly, go to my Church (which I love) and operate with freedom and anonymity.   

Either that or I need to do as Nostradamus did and learn to balance these two worlds.  And I think that is even more precarious today, then it was 500 years ago.

Psychic Caller ID

Do you remember the days when Caller ID was new?  When it came out about 15 years ago it was just amazing.  No more being blinded by your endlessly talkative Aunt Sally!

But how long did you go on answering the phone, knowing full well who it was, as though you didn't?  It's almost like you wanted to see if the person on the other end of the phone was going to try to trick you!  Remember?

Today, most of us simply answer our cell or home with "Hey Jon, how's it going?" or "What's up Tony?"  But how many years did it take you to get used to the fact you knew who was calling you before you dropped the charade? 

My point in this is that we human beings are creatures of habit, even when it comes to accepting additional information.  Sometimes we go on, pretending not to know the truth.  In a way, we Psychics are like the Caller ID.  So break that habit by using our information to your benefit.  Stop pretending not to know the truth and just go with it.  The world will not fall apart just because you accept the new data.  It will only get better.

Have fun!

I will be on and off line throughout the day to take your calls.

Delusional Men!!!

90% of clientele are female, so it's always refreshing to get a male client. Most of the men I have consulted are good guys, just trying to get their relationships or business to work. And I can help them with that. I am good at what I do.

But every once in a while, I get the delusional man. You ladies know the type: they want to give nothing to a relationship, but expect floods of love and attention in return. These guys are truly a phenomena, in and of themselves. I have one joker who gave me nasty feedback months ago that is still affecting me here on Keen.

I was listening to a radio program the other day where a guy went on whining about how he can't get a date, wants someone to cuddle with so badly, to the female host. When she asked him the questions that naturally followed like, “Are you doing anything to improve yourself? Are you working out? Are you reading self-help books? Are you putting some energy and effort into romancing the woman of your choice?” the answer was a flat, “no.” He went on to say “I want someone to like me for me.” In other words, this fat, lazy guy didn't want to put any effort into seducing or romancing a woman. He just wanted to be 'accepted' the way he is.

This is a ridiculous expectation. Every relationship requires effort and has a different impact and influence on you. This is one of the main reasons we want to be in a relationship, to enjoy (hopefully) the influence of someone on us. It is beyond immature for a man to expect his woman to put all this effort into looking attractive, planning social events, or making meals to have the man sit on the coach, drinking a beer and watch the game!!!

This one delusional male client of mine went on and on about how he had no money, so I sent many free minutes. He went on and on about how in love with this one girl he was, how badly he supposedly wanted her. When I asked him, as the radio host above did, if he was doing anything to improve himself, if he was working out, if was reading any self-help books...if he was putting any active effort into pursuing this girl, his answer was the same flat “no.” Unbelievable I thought!

Still, trying to help the guy I suggested one of the best books on romance I have ever come across: The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene. It has fantastic lessons on romance from some of the greatest experts through out history, such as Cleopatra, Casanova, Soren Kierkegaard, the Chinese siren Hsi Shih, and the seventeenth century courtesan Ninon de I'Enclos. It is a book that drips with passion and dives into the waters of seduction full force. Any man who wants to keep his woman enthralled should read it.

What did my client do? Did he purchase the book and read it first? No, he made a snap judgment based on his lazy approach to romance.

I don't know a woman alive (or man for that matter) who doesn't like the idea of being seduced! Seduction is not the problem. But people continue to mistake seduction for deception. And that is where the problem comes in. Seduction and deception are not the same thing!

I am not here to be buddies with delusional men who want to put no effort into their relationships!!! If you are calling me to complain about your woman, and expect me, as another guy, to agree with you, you are going to be severely disappointed! I am going to tell you what you are doing wrong, give you insights into your woman's psychology, recommend some self-improvement strategies and send you on your way!

If you delusional men don't want to take action to improve your relationships, you need to go to another psychic who will tell you what you want to hear!

To the other, lucid, intelligent male clients I have had, thank you!!! Thank you for your patronage, your willingness to accept constructive advice and improve yourselves for your women. You and they will be happier in the long run.

Relatives who have passed on

Death is one of the greatest mysteries we face in life.  We come into the world alone, and utimately we leave alone.  We may be surrounded by friends and loved one, but it is the individual who crosses that threshold alone. 

Sometimes the death of a loved one can cause even the most faithful among us to lose heart.  This is understandable.  Even mystics and psychics get tested.

There are some us who are especially gifted at connecting with the deceased.  I am here if you need that kind of connection.  Hopefully the relative you are desiring will be there for you; only that part I cannot guarantee!  Sometimes you want to talk to your Aunt Lucy and Grandpa Ebenezer comes through instead.  However there is always a reason for this, so please be patient.

Just keep in mind that sometimes it's like a bad cell phone connection on both ends! ;-)  Sometimes the deceased have trouble perceiving the Medium and loved one on earth too!

But we can work through that.  ;-)  I look forward to serving you.

It's all about love!

The Desire Test

Despite decades of self-help gurus mantras to the contrary, living life and reaching goals takes some effort. There is of course, some truth to the idea that when we are 'in the flow' things seem to just materialize in our favor. However, if you think back to these times in your own life, you will probably discover that there was also some pain. The pain could have been as simple as a lack of sleep or donating a substantial amount of money. My point is that there was pain and sacrifice, of some kind, to reach a worthy goal.

In Remote Viewing, the formal psychic spy skilled I am trained in, we call being 'in the flow,' being on your Optimum Trajectory (or Path). This is the optimum, best path for you. The mistake some people make is to think that this path should be without any pain, sacrifice, effort or discomfort. Well, as you have probably realized if you've been around for a while, that is not how it works.

God and the universe are always conspiring to get you on your Optimum Trajectory. They send you dreams, visions, hints through movies, radio and TV. Most people stay on a mediocre path because of fear or the risk involved with making a change. However, the way the universe is set up is to make us stretch, grow and get outside our comfort zone. I know, you are saying, “But James, I've taking risks before and failed.” This is true of everyone. And if you are ever going to rise above mediocrity, you must take risks, learn from your mistakes, change your approach and keep trying.

Some folks, without intuitive guidance from a good psychic, aren't sure where to put their energies. They have vague inklings of what they want or desire. But they have a difficult time discerning when they are dealing with a real desire or just a whim. A real desire, by the way, the one you are willing to sacrifice for, is almost surely an optimum one.

Optimizing your life has many aspects, but the three main ones are: optimum vocation, optimum location and optimum mate.

With relationships, like the optimum mate, you must ask yourself if you really ready to make the sacrifices necessary to bring someone in your life or keep them there. If not, you are dealing with a whim, not a true desire.

Now, I can tell you from personal experience, dealing with an optimum mate is not always easy. It can be downright disheartening and aggravating. However, I can assure you that the rewards are worth it. Your optimum mate is going to be someone who covers your weaknesses, which is not always easy to handle. After all, by covering them so well, the optimum makes your shortcomings painfully obvious.

A good way to gauge if you are with your optimum mate will be your own personal growth. You should have a sense of deep personal satisfaction, despite the discomfort. If you still cannot tell if you are with your optimum mate or in your optimum vocation, that is when you call a trusted Advisor here on Keen. I would be honored to get the chance to earn your trust and help you with optimizing your life.

Just make sure it's a true desire and you are willing to put forth some effort.

If so, give me a call today!

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God..."

"and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." These words, spoken by the Master Jesus two thousand year ago, are still often misunderstood today.

The balance between spirituality and practicality is a regular struggle for human beings. 

There are times in my life, like now, when I have a dedicated Sanctum Altar in my home. It is my own private area for meditation and prayer. Having one always helps me and seems to radiate spiritual vibrations that affect my whole family. A regular message during meditation is how I need to shut out the rest of the world and go into prayer and meditation more often; to not let the outward, objective, sensory world distract me too much from the Inner Peace that only God can give.

This might lead some, like it has many Eastern Mystics, to assume that God does not care about our mundane circumstances at all. But this is a misinterpretation. Divinity only wants us to know that our spiritual/psychic connection should be more prevalent than the physical universe. This does not negate the importance of the physical world or the growth we can achieve here.

The instruction given by Jesus in 6th Chapter of the book of Matthew reveals how Heavenly Father is aware of us individually and collective, how He knows our needs before we ask and how much He wants to bless us. However, the Master also makes us aware of how all physical blessings flow from the spiritual world, not the other way around. And this is a critical distinction.

The overwhelming sensory power of the physical world can make it seem far more prevalent than it's spiritual counterpart. And this, of course, is the basis of the dominate philosophy in human society today: materialism. Since materialism is counter to reality, every time we indulge in it, we retard the natural flow of energy from God to us. Consciousness, spirit, is not created by matter. Matter and the material world are created by the thoughts of God and us, His Children.

Spiritualism and/or Idealism is the belief that the material world is created by the immaterial one. When we embrace and believe this correct principle, we are participating in the natural order of the universe. This participation has secondary benefits, such as gaining access to enhanced intuition.

When we gain access to enhanced intuition, we are in essence, turning our lives over to the God.  And as a modern prophet stated, "Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find out that he can make a lot more out of their lives than they can.  He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace.  Whoever will lose his life to God will find he has eternal life." (Ezra Taft Benson).

Quick observation from a Pirate Cove

Last year I moved to Jacksonville, Florida to pursue a relationship with the love of my life. Jacksonville has a lot of romantic pirate history, as pirates like Blackbeard once sailed and plundered up and down the coast of the Carolinas and Florida.

My time here has certainly not been easy, but it has been worth it.

Not being from the South, I am unaccustomed to somethings. For instance, the other day I was riding down the street on my bicycle, enjoying the weather, when I looked down to see what I thought was an bike helmet.

As you can see, it was actually a turtle! I never saw that in Arizona! It did make me think however, watching this turtle's defensive behavior because of my proximity, how often we act the same way. We get hurt by others, sometimes we hurt ourselves, and life in general has it's bumps and rough spots. How often we behave like the turtle. We stop moving toward our goals, hunker down, and retreat into our shell.

While this might be okay for a short time, to rest and recuperate, we must remember not to make a habit of it. Life is here to lived and we cannot do that when we retreat into our shell. That being said, if you have been hurt recently, hunker down (briefly), watch your favorite movies, eat a little junk food, and get it out of your system.

Then get yourself moving, learn from your mistakes and go after what you want. Retreating into a shell is a perfect survival strategy for turtles, but doesn't work for human beings. Get out there and mix it up! And remember to have fun while you're doing it!

This is love!

Watch this video of a father's love for his son!

I could be the best, most accurate psychic in the world, and I will still never measure up to this humble father.  I pray I can serve my own children as selflessly as he does his.

Don't forget to do the good stuff!!!

"Plant the seed of meditation and reap the fruit of peace of mind."
~ Remez Sasson

Many times when we are dealt setbacks in life: a job loss, a divorce/romantic breakup, serious illness, the death of a loved one, and we completely lose faith.  This is understandable.  My heart goes out to everyone who suffers. 

During these critical times, we often to loose our ability to focus, concentrate or do anything constructive.  However it is exactly at these critical times that we must tap into our spiritual strength.  Remember to read those Sacred Texts, pray, meditate, Yoga and exercise.  Watch uplifting movies and read inspiring books.  The key distinction here is that you are not trying to make your negative feelings go away: you are leaning on your pillars of spiritual strength.  This does not make you weak.  It makes you humble.  And humility is the seed of wisdom. 

Every great Avatar, Prophet and Teacher throughout human history has taught the importance, nay, the preeminence of prayer and meditation and relying on Divinity: from Moses to Jesus, from Mohammad to Krishna, from Bahá'u'lláh to Gandhi.  These sages have given us an example.  And if they were unashamed to lean on the God of their Heart, you should do so without shame as well.

Excellent Meditation Tip!

I have come across an interesting discovery about mediation.  Contrary to some schools of thought, I have had my best mediation immediately after working out.  Today I went for a short run, thinking I might have some trouble getting into the proper meditative state because my metabolism would be too high.

However just like several times before, my meditation was deeper, more peaceful and I came out of it feeling great!  In retrospect, I thought about how running dissipated the nervous energy in my physical system while oxygenating my bloodstream and brain.  Of course I'd have a better mediation after running!

Try it sometime; get a good workout and then go meditate!  Come back and tell me about it!

   

Should we fear the Dark Side?

Writing this blog is wadding into the politically incorrect waters of the New Age.  As a child struggling to understand my perceptive abilities, the dark side was obvious.  There were good beings, angels, guides and benevolent relatives who had crossed over, and there were demons, parasites and haunting ghosts. 

When I got older and began to study different philosophies and religions, I found many New Agers were comfortable with Monism.  Monism is the idea that everything in the universe originates or is sustained from a single source, whether this is viewed as a Theistic God or an impersonal force.  Many Monists want to believe there is not dark side, there is no evil in the world.  And yet all we must do is look out into the world and our personal lives and we can see destructive forces and people. 

I for one relish in plain speech.  While I love high-minded intellectual discussion, I think some people use big words to confuse others into thinking they are superior. 

Almost everyone, when discussing daily life, will confess that life seems dual in nature.  Most have tendency to divide things into opposites.  The Ancient Mystics divided them this way:

• Wealth / Poverty
• Wisdom / Foolishness
• Fruitfulness / Childlessness
• Life / Death
• Dominion / Dependence
• Peace / War
• Beauty / Ugliness

Many psychics that I have personally spoken with, admit that they have encountered negative entities.  They usually keep this information to themselves.  And upon seeing how unpopular the idea of anything negative is within the New Age community, I can see why.

Some folks make it there purpose in life to discredit and mock whomever would try to warn people about the dark side and help them protect themselves.  They some how think that if they just ignore the negatives of life, they will magically go away.  This rarely happens.

The dark side of life does exist.  However I do not think this is something to be feared.  Fear causes more problems than is solves.  Faith in the justice of God and the power of good can be powerful weapons against negative entities, discouragement and the vicissitudes of life.

One fascinating philosophical question many ask is: why would God create or allow 'evil' to exist?  I for one, believe that we humans have existed with God from the Beginning, even if we were unorganized intelligences.  This mortal life is a school, a training ground.  And in order to grow and become more like God, we must experience opposition.  For without sadness, could we know happiness?  Without pain, could we know pleasure?  Without sickness, could we really understand and appreciate health? 

Many of the greatest Leaders have experienced heavy opposition and learned amazing lessons from it.  Indeed, gems of wisdom can be taken from heartache, setbacks, disappointments and even disasters.  While I wouldn't recommend willing seeking any of these, we should not shy away from the challenge either.  We can overcome the negatives of life, and even the dark side of spirituality.

I believe in a loving God of goodness.  However, I also think our Heavenly Parents are far wiser then us, and in their infinite wisdom, know we must experience both good and evil.     

Psychological Power and Seduction!

"Whatever is done from love always occurs beyond good and evil." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Psychological power and seduction are essential skills in modern society.  Not only are they skills, they are commodities.  Who among us does not like to be seduced?  The idea that someone would take the time and effort to actually seduce us, to learn our psychology, our likes and dislikes and adjust to those...who would not find that incredibly powerful?  I know I would, and do! 

We live in a world were everyone struggles to gain the love they need.  With the hectic pace of our society and our attention is being pulled in so many directions, few people get their love or attention quotient met.

Nobody likes to feel awkward or timid or unable to reach people.  And who likes to be approached by the painful awkward or nervous person?  Their nervousness, in turn, makes us nervous.

For those of us lucky enough to have been the target of a flawless seduction, it is an experience we will never forget!  Often it haunts us for years.  For those passionate souls among, seduction is a blessing; love and romance are an absolute necessity. 

The real seducer doesn't leave anything to chance, but carefully plots his or her every move.  This in turn makes seduction a win-win scenario.  I'm sure you, dear reader, have experienced the power of having someone fall in love with you.  This power is intoxicating, which in turn makes us more confident and therefore more seductive!

Psychics get more calls about love and romance than any other subject.  Why is that so many people, being so hungry for love, cannot get their basic emotional needs met?  We can complain and say that it is because of a jerk of a man or heartless woman.  But where does this leave us or our clients?  No where.  What if more of the people desiring love became better seducers?  What if they honed their skills, learned to use seductive language and poetry, gifts, act of service, sacrifice and devotion?  And what if they focused this attention on the object of their affection?  Can you imagine how much more loved and fulfilled everyone would be?

The world needs more seduction, not less.  We already have enough bunglers when it comes to love.  Let's see some sparks fly.  Let's have more romance, seduction and passion!  Let's see more woman walking around with that glow; the one you see when they are hopelessly in love! 

Identity Crisis? Yep!

I had one of those lovely calls we psychics sometimes get: you know, the two minute reading.  For obvious reasons, the two minute client is not usually satisfied.  However, last night's customer brought a very interesting subject to the forefront: Identity Crisis.

Being a writer, I went to look up the meaning of 'Identity Crisis.'  I had a vague idea what it meant, but wanted to be sure.  I was perplexed to discover that the term 'identity crisis' itself might be having one.  Concise definitions where difficult to come by. 

I was able to determine that the term 'identity crisis' was coined by famed psychosocial theorist Erik Erikson in the 1960's.  Erikson's interest in identity began in early childhood.  He was raised Jewish, but appeared very Scandinavian and felt like an outsider in both groups.

This brings up the even more fascinating issue of a 'Psychic Identity Crisis' that virtually all psychics struggle through.  But that is a topic for another blog at another time...

Back to run of the mill identity crises:  Erikson's theorized that most people go through their first identity crisis in their teenage years, while attempting to find their proper role in society.  In our modern world, filled with rapid change, identity crises are more common than in the past.  Researcher have also found that people who make a strong identity commitment tend to be happier and healthier than those who don't.

According to Erikson, there are four statuses with identity:

• Identity diffusion occurs when there is neither and identity crisis nor commitment.
• Foreclosure status is when a person has made an identity commitment without identity exploration.
• Moratorium is a person who is actively involved in exploring different identities, but has not made a commitment.
• Identity achievement occurs when an individual has gone through an exploration of different identities and has made a commitment to one.

Unfortunately for my two minute client last night, her love interest is going through a sexual-orientation identity crisis.  I could clearly detect that her man was in foreclosure status, although I did not know the term until tonight.  He had committed to an identity without actually exploring other ones.  So he is now in a state of confusion, much to her dismay. 

As a psychic, I went through several identity crises involving my psychic abilities, my masculinity and my religious faith.  There were terribly painful times, but also some of the most growthful. 

So my question to you, dear reader, is: who are you?  What is your identity status?  Are you still exploring?  Have you made a commitment?  Or did you foreclose?

The Psychic's Personal Thesaurus

Any of you familiar with writing and English will know what a Thesaurus is: It is a book or collection of words with synonyms (similar words) and antonyms (opposite words).

Psychics have their own "personal thesaurus," which is comprised of thoughts, emotions, knowledge, and verbal language.  One of the challenges as a psychic is expanding one's own personal thesaurus so intuitive impressions can be properly translated.  Therefore age, education, attitude toward learning, intellectual and emotional development all have an impact on how a reading unfolds.

I am 41 years old, have had a very full life, admittedly with some trauma.  While I did not have the best education from a traditional perspective, I am a life long learner and love absorbing and applying practical knowledge.  Having a strong drive for communication, along with psychic sensitivity, makes me want to communicate to others on how the psychic process works.

Have you ever had a friend who lived one of those rare, sheltered lives?  Friends like that are always interesting relating to; especially if you've had a more 'colorful' life.  I remember my first wife and I meeting a young couple from Idaho.  To say that these people had an easy, sheltered life is an understatement!  Both their parents had remained married.  They had experienced no abuse growing up.  They had no black sheep in their families.  Their meeting and marriage had been ideal.  They had never experienced financial challenges.  Besides the fact that we all spoke English and grew up in the United States, we almost nothing in common.  That friendship didn't last very long.

Let's face it: when we go to a psychic for advise, we at least want someone who will understand us.  That is why it is critical for a psychic to get experience with as many people, cultures, ideologies, religions and philosophies as possible.  *Please note: this is not a license for reckless abandon, but careful exploration*.

There are some psychics on Keen, whom I greatly admire, who are trained Counselors for instance.  Their personal thesaurus has all kinds of ideas, words and definitions that mine does not.  And frankly, if you need counseling, you should go to them.  They are the better choice.

If you need to understand how a man is thinking, or how to approach communication in a relationship with him, I'm you're psychic.  Trust me, we men are entirely different animals.  Men and women are lucky they can understand each other at all...and sometimes it does take a psychic to facilitate communication!  If you don't think God has a sense of humor, just watch a man and woman try to fix a meal or repair a car together!

I am precognitive and am extremely good at predicting future events, whether it be about love, money, children or health (I am not a Doctor, but might recommend you go see one).  I am very good with business trends and with the shadowy world of crime.  I have worked with a private investigator and have assisted law enforcement with criminal cases.  I am perfectly capable of gathering data about crimes without wincing or turning away.

I am also a fairly good Medium and have done a few medium readings here on Keen.  Although for challenges cases, I might recommend a few of my more mediumistic friends.

So next time you choose a psychic, take a careful look over their listing and make your choice wisely.  Be realistic in your expectations of the psychic.  If they don't have experience or training with your problem, move on.  Both you and they will be much happier.  You can get the help you need from another Advisor and they can help clients who need their talents.
