Pathways

As illogical as it sounds, your heavy mood can be lightened by heavy thoughts. If you face whatever is troubling you head-on and process it with as much honesty as you can, your worries will eventually fade away to nothing. On the other hand, if you ignore the fact that something is wrong in your life, these issues aren't going anywhere! They'll stick around, waiting to get some of your attention -- and they will wait as long as it takes. Think things through today and you'll feel better tomorrow. Be thankful that there is a higher power that oversees all and knows all.

FYI : Below is a captured image of the call-monitor which is provided to the advisors, by Keen, to alert us of incoming calls. Please note that it reads "LISTENING' for incoming calls" - which means, once the advisor logs in and activates it, the system will 'actively' check for calls and attempts to reach the advisor. When this happens, it makes a clicking sound in the background, which I am finding out that some callers are under the impression that the advisors are typing while talking to them (who has time to do that). Someone wrote that I was - 'typing, reading a script (hmmm what is the purpose of typing if I am reading from a script hmmm) and a whole host of other things while reading. Hah - I just had an epiphany - I should package these powerful cards that give off odor, time frames and names and bundle it for sale. Yep - that's how ridiculous this sounds. For those who care and perhaps had the same concern - I hope this clears things up.

 

Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness. It strikes us when we walk through the dark valley of a meaningless and empty life. It strikes us when we feel that our separation is deeper than usual, because we have violated another life, a life which we loved, or from which we were estranged. It strikes us when our disgust from our own being, our indifference, our weakness, our hostility, and our lack of direction and composure have become intolerable to us. It strikes us when, year after year, the logged for perfection of life does not appear, when the old compulsions reign within us as they have for decades, when despair destroys all joy and courage. Sometimes at that moment a wave of light breaks into our darkness, and it is as though a voice were saying" You are accepted. You are accepted, accepted that which is greater than you, and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask for the name now; perhaps later you will find out. Do not try to do anything now; perhaps later you will do much. Do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted!" [GLIMPSES OF GOD]

A Seer out of Season is based on the portrayal and observed life of Edgar Cayce, through the eyes of Harman Hartzell Bro, Ph.D., who at the request of Edgar Cayce, was invited to evaluate his work at his home in Virginia. While documenting Cayce’s work, they explored areas such as medical diagnosis, mental health, The Bible, Jesus, Reincarnation, Past-Life, Karma, aura, soul, mental health, out-of-body and other paranormal experiences and scientific investigation. During this process Bro concluded that not only was Cayce he intuitively gifted as a medical clairvoyant; but he also realized that he was a simply and ordinary man. He interacted with an array of social classes, and was well-traveled both on the astral and physical planes. The following  hopes to encapsulate some of these key areas.

In reviewing the life of Edgar Cayce, it is clear that he understood the multidimensional nature of consciousness; having the facility to effectively access various divisions of the mind. His view of the conscious mind was based partly on his conceptual teaching of the Bible; as well as his neo-analytical perspective on human development. In contrast to Freud’s view of the unconscious mind in understanding conscious thoughts, Cayce “assigned to the mind a great deal of autonomy rather than determinism” (p.97). He recognized the absence of preset criteria for development, and through trance-state, Cayce was compelled to provide information that roused his clients' interest - based not only on the physical state but also the mental. He also recognized the importance of early development, and reiterated his mantra that “I don’t do anything that you can’t do”, which further acknowledged the individual’s capacity for self-awareness; ability to think, analyze, make-decisions and could reign in his ‘will’ through self discipline, to avoid self-undoing.  

In spite of Cayce’s wide range of abilities, the aspect of his work that is the most dramatic, notable, and often referenced – is his trance states. This ritual of inducing sleep through self-hypnosis and falling into trance-state, seemed to add to the believability of the information that often came through him. He did not regard what he did as channeling, but believed in the process of Reincarnation as well as having access to historical data, housed in the Akashic records of the individual. Through trance-state, he went directly to the Source of information and conveyed what he found back to the conscious realm. He had no conscious contact with what came through him in his readings, other than the transcripts that were recorded. At times there was always a question as to whether or not he would return from them. In fact, when he stated that even “though unconscious during the night mirrored his fears over the sanity of having to rely on a process he only partly understood”; made me realize the magnitude of the trust, faith and sacrifice of this individual and the enormity of what he did.

The above explains why Cayce rejected the opportunity to channel the ‘wisdom’ of another entity who wanted to help him; and also why he was so shaken to the core of his being when he first encountered the esoteric information that came through as life readings. This I believe, challenged his basic Christian belief system, but later came to terms with it when he stated that intuitive guidance came from the part of God that is within all of us. It helped him to reconcile himself to the accuracy of this information when realized that it came from the same source as his health readings, which had proven to be effective for so long. It is no wonder that his reading of the Bible served as grounding and a centering influence in his life.

He was well known for his ability to diagnose illnesses during trance-state; as well as the care he provided in “attending to actual wastes and poisons just as carefully as he attended to the carriers of what must be eliminated.” (p.87). He used the ‘sample transcripts’ from his sessions as a model for healthcare with the words ‘Out, In, Push’, and Circuits, each of which represented a process for regulating and keeping the body healthy and treating impairments. According to Bro, this process, which was later called “Holistic Health”, provided a way to track not only the health of the individual, but also their mental and spiritual well-being – “producing well-being and productive wholeness with others” (p.88). During these session he also explored are Reincarnation and Karma,  believing that relationships that exist on the physical plane resulted from past incarnation. This process allowed him to focus more on the psychological nature of the individual rather and the physical.

 Diagnosing disorders in the thousands through trance-state challenged the medical community; and although Cayce's work was not without controversy, he eventually earned their respect. And as did Freud, and the scientific community, they undermined his ability, because under normal research conditions ‘not much could be established’ (p.130). Subsequently, J.B. Rhine of Duke Institute proposed bringing Cayce to the lab, an idea which was rejected based on his unfamiliarity with the surroundings. Verification of his work was also difficult due to the lack of follow-up by clients, disorganized records and absence of nearly half of his recorded sessions. By focusing on four key areas (verified accuracy, scope, perspective and engagement) however, Bro brought a sense of order by taking on the task of compiling his work. It was this compilation of Cayce's work that later led Bro to disover that Cayce’s Past-life readings offered “crisply verifiable items such as character, conflict, endowment, from temper to perfectionism to sensuality” (p.143). And when they were later checked they proved to be as accurate as his medical readings.

If Cayce had allowed his abilities to be fully developed, he would have baffled the scientific community even more. I believe however, that he suppressed his abilities because of the disturbing worldview warnings that came through (social movements in the US, and China’s eventual control of the US economy) when he contacted the other side. This became even more evident, when he encountered the entity dressed in military garb, warning of great tribulations to humanity. He stated that America could be conquered from within, and that times would be such that each man would have to choose whom he would serve – man, his nation or his God. Edgar Cayce challenged us to view the world in a different way when he kept reiterating his mantra “I don’t anything that you can’t do”. Although his reference to the lost civilization, Atlantis, cannot yet be verified (although a recent documentary suggested that a lost civilization was discovered), if today’s scientific community were to test his work by comparing them to events that are now unfolding, it would certainly remove lingering doubts as his exceptional abilities.

Three months prior to the death of a relative who was in a coma for twenty-three months, a family member who is an ardent Christian, began hearing his voice. At first she questioned where the voice was coming from, and when it continued she attributed the experience to her own psychosis. Whenever she began to pray, or read the Bible, his face would appear and he would attempt to interact with her. One day she finally responded by asking him how is it possible that she could hear him when he is laying in the hospital in a coma. His response to her was “that is only a shell of me - I am as light as a feather”. He began to interact with her and used her ability as the means to communicate with his wife. He even informed her of the time of day that he would be removed from life support, in military time.

Prior to her experiences with psi, as a Christian she viewed people with such abilities as troubled and in need of Spiritual (religious) intervention. Since the death of this relative, she has become more psychically attuned, possessing the gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience and mediumship - recognized as ‘necessary element’ in her daily devotions. As a blind observer, it is safe to say that after watching the ‘high hit rate’ over a period of eight months, the above experience is proof that psi exists. It also serves to reinforce the idea that people of faith innately possess ‘spiritual gifts’, fitting into the religious dogma.

I Corinthians 12:7-11, list various spiritual gifts that are worth noting. “Manifestation of the Spirit for the common good, healing, miraculous powers, prophesy, wisdom, knowledge, distinguishing between spirits, speaking in different kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines” (The Bible).

The distinction that Religion makes when dealing with psi, is the emphasis on the source and ownership of psi. I believe this emphasis is important because at times we tend to put people on pedestals and run the risk of ignoring their humanity and their fallibilities. When you examine the life of Cayce for instance, most people probably made him out to be bigger than life and forgot that he was a mere mortal who had to live in this world like the rest of us.

The transpersonal consists of experiences that are not easily measured or duplicated, and science continues to figure out a way to work with it. Possession of psi is an expression of spirituality that is universal, and transcends institutions that have been created by men. Christianity, Catholicism and other faiths have always had a mystical core but have distanced themselves from it because they cannot figure out what to make of it. sharing

"Silence is golden" is the mantra of Hermit. He is not a madman being cast aside by society, but the the Magus (magician) of the Voice of Light and the Prophet of the Eternal. He connects the wisdom of Chesed ("Mercy"; חסד) is the fourth Sephirah on the tree of life in the Kabbalah of Judaism It is given the association of kindness and loves, and is the first of the emotive attributes of the Sephirot"), with the transforming beauty of Tiphareth, (Tiferet is the force that integrates the sfira of Khesed ("Compassion") and Gvura ("Overpowering").

His origin can also be traced to Kronos, the Greek god of time, whom the Romans knew as Saturn, and who is more familiar to us as Old Father Time. The curved hood over his head is an echo of the symbolic sycthe that Old Father Time carried. He has become a traveler after years of enjoyment of the outside world. These pleasures no longer appeal to him. He is a loner and he is happy to be on his journey. He knows that it will take him a lifetime to understand the gift of the spirit and he is willing to do what it takes to reach the summit of the mountain.

He goes on his journey and is supported by his staff and uses a lantern to guide his path. He is holy and puts his trust in God as is represented by the staff, the strength of the divine spirit on which he can rely to keep a straight path. He has relinquished all of his passion for the world and the pleasures that he experienced once in his lifetime. Carnal delight no longer moves him and his journey is slow and deliberate. He dissociates and leaves others in a paranoid state, feeling emotionally alienated. He lets no one deflect him from his path no matter how hard they try. He is often seen as a beggar or a friar, aged and wise as is depicted by his beard.

The lantern is a symbol of the inner light that guides the traveler onto the right of the divine spirit. There are those who see the lamp as a reference to Saturn as the planet of gloom, but modern astrologers personify Saturn as the Archetypal schoolmaster, concealing a warm heart beneath a cold exterior. He is Virgo, the virgin born of himself where he is reborn and feels anew. He takes this time voluntarily to find peace within as he seek the truth. In this moment his light will never go out, and no one can outshine him. He is a loner and will allow you to follow your path by the aide of his lantern....but he will not join you!

After doing this for so many years, I still have difficulty getting people to understand the importance of their questions, words with their associated meanings/inferences. For example, a person will call six months ago and ask if someone is attracted to them and six months ago the reading showed a definite yes. Six months later the same person calls back to ask the same question, and the reading now provides the opposite answer 'no'…Some callers will view this as a contradiction and it is not!  They fail to understand that the attraction was an 'INITIAL' spark of chemistry between them, and has changed over a period of six months. It is no different from what happens during a marriage, where one spouse has lost his/her appeal. 

Asking about someone’s feeling and their thoughts at the time of the call is NOT a predictor of how they will feel six months later or even the next minute or the following day. It is how they are 'feeling' at the moment the question is asked, which is in the PRESENT TENSE - here and now.  In addition,  an answer ‘yes’ to a question that someone is attracted to an individual is also not a predictor of a relationship, and should not be assumed as such unless it has been clearly stated by the advisor. If the person is no longer attracted it could be attributed to many things, some of which is loss of that initial spark; you have lost your appeal (as painful as that might be to accept) over a six month period;  you gained weight, cut your hair, turned off by something you did or said or the individual has shifted focus to someone else.  

The only thing that is constant is Change & as humans we have capacity to love and hate the same person. Readings do not create outcomes - and we need to realize that we do. We are constantly thinking (not equal to feelings nor actions); we are emotional beings (not equal to action) and when we do, we are acting on how we think and how we feel. It is important to know the difference between all three so that you know which questions will provide the desired response.

I hope this helps!

Most seekers are drawn to obtaining readings as a result of having had a pivotal spiritual experience. Some are drawn because these spiritual experiences provide the original or authentic material of spiritual unfoldment. One thing I have learned over the years, its that it is essential that as readers we become adept at handling such experiences with sensitivity, respect, and discernment. The querent seeks out someone who can help in interpreting the source and the meaning of a myriad of experiences. We bear in the mind that there will always be the question, "what was the source?", and this will remain foremost in the minds of querents who may initially distrust such experiences. Helping the seeker to apply a reliable set of discernment criteria will comprises an important part of our work. Once an experience is accepted as an authentic utterance of the deeper Self, other questions will follow. Does it, for instance, call for the seeker to change the direction of his or her career, primary relationship, practices, beliefs, behavior, emotions, thoughts or habits. Clearly, how we treat these sacred experiences is a paramount issue in our role.

Freedom is something that we all take for granted. For the most part it is not what we do when we know we are free, but its the effect that it has on the psyche when we know we are free. It should not be necessary, but we are not reminded often enough that freedom is very fragile and now more than ever the need is greater. On this Memorial Day, let's honor the men and women who are serving, those who have served and especially for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedom remains steadfast.  My nephew is an Iraq War Veteran who saw some ugly things, and my other nephew is currently in the Navy.  I am very proud of them. Sending thoughts and prayers to all!

When Alice met the Chesire Cat sitting in the tree at the fork in the road; she asked him, "Which way should I go from here?" He replied, "It depends on where you want to get to." Alice responded, "It doesn't much matter where," to which he replied, "Then it doesn't matter which way you go."  Good relationships do not "come naturally," but requires a lot of sober, careful self scrutiny and self-discipline. When you know what you are about and you get off on the right footing in your relationships; in all likelihood you will already have a sense of who you are and where you are, and chances are you won't face problems later on. Whether we appreciate this from the outset of our valued relationship, or learn it the hard way, we will all eventually arrive at the same realization: It is ever a matter of remaining conscious of what we are about, and remaining true to this direction.

Edgar Cayce once stated that to "experience love is to experience a giving from within. That experience is something that we recognize and can easily distinguish between taking and from wanting".  Giving freely...... but what about love?  In many ways it is like an umbilical connection and is a wonderful expression of maternal love.  He said, "it is a testimony that we are not hollow or empty inside, but contain a spark of creative spirit". This creative spirit can be passed on from generation to generation and maintains a link that can be traced right back to the point of conception. Events in our lifetime are carefully embedded in our memory - they can be recalled and relived with as much pleasure or pain as if they were happening in the present moment. Know your place, your role in the cosmos for it is important to be carefully positioned - Love and hate are not mere perspectives - For as my good friend stated, "there is something about love that we do not often consider. Love is a law unto itself. Love is a channel of miracles because it can transcend the law of cause and effect. It can break the rules!"

- I have been tracking earthquakes in this region as a result of vision since December 30, 2007

04-04-10 - Magnitude 7.2 quake strikes Baja California

The above link takes you to the full story about a vision I had in 2007. It outlines an event that led to a warning regarding Baja Californa - Mexico. I have been updating this particular dream over the years showing other earthquakes that have struck this region. The last one was updated as recent as December 30, 2009, a two year anniversary of the vision. This area in Southern California is really a hot-spot for earthquake activities.

Another perfect example of my ongoing mantra - pay attention to your dreams because a drop of water is as significant as a falling leaf - many of you have told me that you have learned to be more aware of and have learned to track your vision/dreams right along with mine. This is what it is all about - empowering you to recognize your own messages - As always, don't forget to log your own unique dreams/messages!

My niece continues to amaze me with her strong inclination toward spiritual matters. She possesses high intellect beyond her years, and is extremely talented and humble to boot. She just completed two pieces of artwork which earned her top prize; and when I saw the quality of her work I was beyond proud.  Recently I commented to her mom that her had all the qualities of an Indigo child; and after yesterday's experience, I have no doubt that she is indeed - special.

Yesterday, a friend gave her a ride to a job interview (she is not old enough to drive).  When she returned home, she got out of the car and went into the house. As soon as she attempted to close the front door of the house, her friend asked to accompany her to the mall.  Without hestitation, she walked toward the car, and as she made contact with the door-handle, she heard a voice "no, don't get in the car, go back in the house."  She abruptly released the handle, and told her that she could not accompany her and immediately went into the house. She was so frightened that she she shared it with her mother, to which she replied "I am glad you paid attention".

Well, five minutes later, they received a call that the friend who had given her the ride, telling them that she involved in a car accident at the end of the block. Someone had ran the red light and slammed into the car; totally demolishing the side where my niece was about to sit. Thank God the young lady's life was spared!  Sending prayers and lots of light a for speedy recovery.
