SIDEWALK PSYCHICS

Dear Josie,

I don’t really know how to ask you this so I’ll just tell you what happened. I was in Wal-Mart parking lot with my son, putting things in my car and this woman came up to me and said, “Hi, God sent me to you.” She said she was a Medium and she was sent by God to tell me something. Then she told me a little about my baby’s father, she was kind of right. Then she said that if I wanted her to tell me more it was five dollars. I gave it to her but then she told me she had a crystal for me and I could get it tonight but it would be forty dollars more. So I went and when I got there she told me pretty basic stuff. Then she told me that someone does not want me to be happy and that this woman went to see someone to pay them so that I would never be happy. And I’m not happy really and I asked her if it was some kind of voodoo. She asked if I have been having trouble sleeping, and I said yes. She also asked if I have back trouble and I do. She said it is all from this woman. Then she told me that she was not going to give me the crystal she wanted to put prayers in it I was supposed to call her at 8:00pm. I did not call her because I feel if God sent you to me you would just tell me what you need to but I think she told me enough to suck me in then she wants $$$$$$$$$ so I did not call her or get the crystal. I was wondering if it is possible for what she said to be true about the voodoo or black magic. I’m kind of nervous but I have been living with it all these years so I guess I would not know anything other than this.

 

I picked this email because there are a lot of very good points here that I want to cover.

~ Sidewalk Psychics. This reader was picked up on by what is called a SIDEWALK PSYCHIC. Someone without training, that isn’t very professional. A legitimate psychic would NEVER come up to a stranger in a parking lot to give them a reading or message and ASK FOR MONEY. People like this give psychics and gypsies a bad reputation.

~ Legitimate Messages. That being said, I have been guilty of accosting strangers in public – ONLY WHEN I was sure they would be open to it, and it was necessary for me to intervene. In those cases my spirit guides had to force me kicking and screaming to do so, because it’s HUMULIATING to say, “Hi you don’t know me, I’m just some harmless psychopath, but God sent me to you and wants you to know…” I have NEVER asked for money if I actually had a message for someone. If I have to tell you something so badly that I have to approach you – you HAVE to know and there’s no way I would take money for such a thing.

~ Get a Referral. Unless you are just in it for pure entertainment, I do not recommend going to a psychic that you do not know, that you don’t have a referral for, and that has no training. Go to someone that a friend got a good reading from, don’t go to someone that just woke up one morning and decided they were going to be psychic. If they have a lot of training and credentials, that is helpful, but honestly, I’ve taken all those courses and I wouldn’t recommend some of my classmates just because they paid a grand to a famous psychic for a weekend course. If you want a good reading, ask around. Good psychics are highly recommended by their clients.

~ Schedule a Reading. If you want a reading, you go get one, you schedule it. You go to an office, Spiritual Book store, an Enlightenment Center, or a Workshop. It won’t come looking for you. Anyone that was actually sent by God with a legitimate message for you would TELL you and get on with their life. God doesn’t send people to ask you for money, and it is horrendous that this woman is scamming money from people in the name of God. Sadly, that happens everyday, but Messengers from God don’t need money to pass on the Message. If God wants me to tell you something, you don’t think I’m 1.) Not gonna tell you and disobey him or 2.) charge money to buy myself shoes.

~ Items for Sale. There is never any reason to buy anything that you don’t want. You do not have to have a certain crystal, healing oil, candle, dream catcher, piece of jewelry. Nothing. You NEVER have to buy anything. If God wanted me to give it to you, I would gladly give you anything he wanted you to have from me, for FREE. And certainly if God wanted me to give it to you, I would never question the word of God or DARE charge you for it. Never get pushed into buying something you don’t need or want.

~ Crystals. That being said, crystals are great. I wouldn’t want one with HER scam artist energy in it, so I would totally avoid that. Find a crystal you like that talks to you or feels right to you, take it home, wash it, and pray with it in your hand until it feels like you. The easiest way to get crystals charged with your energy is to sleep with them on your nightstand on under your pillow.

~ Rate the Psychic on Specific Details and Facts. She didn’t give you any specific information. Did she actually have any “Hits”? When you have a 4 year old and no wedding ring it’s easy to assume that you are having problems with the baby’s daddy. I could say to anyone, “Are you stressed out? Do you have headaches, back aches, or sleep problems?” And just about everyone would pause and then say, “Yeah, I guess so.” A good psychic can describe people, places, and situations to you, with very little help or information from you. A great psychic can give you specific names, dates, and addresses.

~ Follow-up Readings. There was NO reason she couldn’t tell you what she had to tell you right then. I do not recommend meeting up with strangers that you meet in parking lots EVER. It’s dangerous in many different ways. But actual psychics do not roundup new clients in parking lots. Ever. If you need a follow up reading with a psychic, it should only be because your session ran over. In which case, why didn’t they tell you everything they need to say in the allotted time?

~ Voodoo. Yeah, not so much. I know there are a lot of spiritual readers out there that will charge you so they can meditate for you or pray for you so that they can take a curse or hex off of you, or remove obstacles, or release negative energy for you… But it costs a lot of money. All you EVER need to do is pray to Archangel Michael to cut the negative chords, and pray to Archangel Jophiel to release the negativity around you.

~Energy Work. If you really feel that you need some energy work, there are plenty of healers and shamans that do energy work – and are trained to do so. A good chakra clearing, some reiki, or some cranial sacral therapy will rejuvenate anyone.

~ Voodoo/Black Magic Scams. She said some woman went to a psychic to put some voodoo on you? Yeah, not so much. First, this was more than likely a ploy to get you to pay to have the voodoo removed. Second, could she describe the woman? Was it your ex’s new girlfriend, your mother-in-law, your best friend? She should have been able to tell you who your enemy is that you are having a disagreement with. Third, do people really go to psychics to hurt other people? Good psychics certainly don’t practice such dark things that would bring about negativity. I highly doubt there is anyone that you have angered so badly that they would stoop low enough to pay a psychic to put some kind of voodoo on you. Even if they did such a thing, those things are also scams to take people’s money.

~The Power of Belief. The way everything works in life, is things only have power if you believe in them. Just like those videos where the people were rolling on the floor possessed. Their cultures believe in possessions, so people experience such things. Our culture does not believe in such things, so we don’t have such things happen. If someone puts a curse on you and you don’t know it and don’t believe in it, how can it have any effect on you? Besides that, it was very well put in the movie Labyrinth, and frankly words to live by, “You have no power over me.” The only things in life that have power over you are the things that you ALLOW to control you.

~ The Power of Light. I happen to know that you are a religious woman and surrounded by angels. The power of light and love is by far more powerful than any negative energy. Your angels and guides and your prayers keep you protected from any negative thoughts people have towards you. All you need to do if you are concerned is ask your angels and spirit guides to protect you and to clear you from negativity. While you are at it, ask them to keep all negative and harmful people away from you.

~ God Sent YOU to ME! I believe that God does put people in our lives for a reason. I do believe that God puts us together to learn things from each other. I am very glad that God put you in my life to give us all the opportunity to discuss this. I hope I answered all your questions. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Namaste,

On Future Readings & Psychic Predictions

I am a professional psychic. I use the word professional to let everyone know that I actually am good enough to get paid; I’m not just playing at it like Daphne on Frasier.

My family descends from The Stanley Tribe of gypsies in Poland. I have a 300 year old crystal ball that is a family heirloom. I have been psychic my entire life. It wasn’t so much interesting that I had these abilities; it was learning to deal with the fact that no one else did and that made me a freak.

Lately, I wonder, when I have flashes, what should I do with them?

This weekend I was responding to an email from a very close friend of mine. We were talking about something completely random and unrelated when I thought, “Oh, they are going to have a baby soon!”

Do I tell them? What the hell?

“Dear John –
Yes, I got your email, I just finished watching Pan’s Labyrinth and loved it, next I am watching Pursuit of Happyness, have you seen that one too? The party Saturday is at 1pm, I am so excited you can make it and can’t wait to see you there.

PS. Your wife will give birth to a little boy by next May. “

Now, I hate the future predictions part of being psychic, because it’s a bit wonky.

I much prefer talking to dead people, they do all the answering and I am just repeating everything they say. Same thing when I do ANY type of mediumship, including Angel readings. I put myself in a light trance, I talk to the client’s, angels, deceased loved ones (DLO’s), Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels, Ascended Masters, Saints, elementals, or even old Aunt Edna. It’s an easy gig. I zone out, other beings tell me what to say. I am just repeating what they are telling me to. And yes, I get paid  hourly for this.

Predicting the future however is a bit wonky, and unpredictable! I hate being wrong, and there’s too many variables, so it’s a practice I like to avoid.

See, here’s how this future thing works:

1. It is absolutely going to happen and nothing can stop it.
2. I’m supposed to tell you so you can avoid it and it DOESN’T HAPPEN.
3. I’m supposed to tell you so you can be prepared for it to happen.
4. I’m supposed to tell you, and it never fucking happens, but what I told you puts you on the path you were supposed to be on.

Sounds suspect to me. What the hell? I’m supposed to charge for that nonsense? There are just way too many variables like karma, free will, fate, prayer, and even angels intervening.

Yes, I can tell you what MIGHT happen in one plane of reality, but the minute I tell you, aren’t I totally screwing with what’s going to happen just because I got involved? Or is it that I am SUPPOSED to get in involved. Sounds wonky to me.

Let me give you an example. Say I see my friend getting in a car accident in downtown.

1. It’s absolutely going to happen and nothing either of us can do will stop it.
2. I’m supposed to tell him so he stays home that day and doesn’t get hurt and avoids it. (But if he avoids it, doesn’t that make me wrong because it didn’t happen?)
3. I’m supposed to tell him so that he wears his seat belt, drives much more carefully, doesn’t drink and drive, and he still gets in an accident, but it was minor and no one gets killed.
4. Since I told him, he goes a different way that day, and by doing that finds and new wife, a new job, and long lost loved one, or maybe just a really good place to eat lunch. Either way, I was only supposed to tell him so that it would make him take a different path – a path that for some reason or another he was supposed to be on.

No thanks, too many variables. I actually much prefer the theory some ancient cultures had on visions. They believed that visions weren’t things that absolutely had to happen and come true – although that was a possibility – they believed visions were signs that were leading you places. Visions were meant to be interpreted. Visions were putting you on a specific path or telling you something. So a vision of falling off a cliff, didn’t have to mean you were going to fall off a cliff… it could be a vision that was forcing you to be more careful, get a grip on your life, or stay away from things, or even face your fears.

What visions actually mean is really open to interpretation. What it means to me, is probably way different than what it means to my client.

Now, part of the reason this entire vision thing is problematic is that when I have made really big predictions – sometimes even ones that I thought couldn’t possibly come true – I have always been right. Sometimes stuff that happened years later and there was no way I could have known that. Mostly stuff that my logical mind says WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN!

Examples:

~ I was frustrated with some friends of a friend because they were house hunting on the other side of town. I said, “That’s a waste of time, you are going to end up living right down there,” and I pointed to the end of our street. I thought I meant, “You guys are going to live on that end of our neighborhood.” In actuality, they bought the exact house I was pointing that wasn’t even for sale at the time that I said it.

~ My friend with 3 boys asked if she was ever going to get a little girl. I said, “yes, but she has black hair and there is a little boy too that has blond hair like your other kids. So I think you are going to adopt from china and get pregnant at the same time.” She said, “Absolutely not!” Two years later… I was right. She was adopting a little girl from China and got pregnant with her fourth son. How the hell could I predict that? At the time I said that my friend was on birth control and completely against adoptions.

~ I told a client her book was absolutely going to be published within the year. She then wanted my opinion on it since I’m a writer. I tried to read it every night before bed for three weeks and was shocked that it was so bad. I figured for sure this was the first time I was going to be wrong. It was a horrendous book and I felt horrible that I told her it was going to be published. The book came out last March.

I know these are just a few tame examples, but these were the ones that I specifically thought were not ever going to happen. I have predicated a ton of other amazing stuff, but it was easy stuff that I felt was probably pretty likely anyway. I’m not really impressed by it all. I much prefer talking to dead people.

My point was though, if my predictions have always come true, don’t I owe it to people to tell them, since I have proven to be so accurate?

But on the other hand it’s also kinda wonky about what I am psychic about. Its no use being psychic and seeing that my son is about to get badly hurt, if I don’t see it in time to prevent it. Gee, I couldn’t have had that flash 30 seconds sooner? Or I can be psychic about what song is coming on the radio next, but I didn’t see that if I took the freeway I was going to be stuck in traffic for an hour? Stupid. When things are supposed to happen to me, I never ever see them in time to do anything about it.

I got in this HUGE fight about this one time with a Born Again Christian friend that completely didn’t believe any of this psychic rubbish, and was only tolerating it because he had known me his entire life.

“Prove it. Tell me where they are going to get our lunch from” he said.

“That will prove it for you? If I can name the restaurant? That’s ridiculous! There are at least 50 restaurants around here, that’s not how being psychic works! There’s no way I can do that AT ALL! The universe, spirit, isn’t going to waste its time telling me where you are getting lunch from just so you can believe!”

“Then you aren’t really psychic.”

“Because I can’t tell you where you are getting lunch from? OH PLEASE! It’s no matter than I have spoken to your dead brother and father, and told you stuff I couldn’t possibly have known, I’m supposed to know where you are getting lunch from?”
“If you were really psychic you could.”
“IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY – I CANT DO THAT!”

“WHY NOT?”
“BECAUSE IT DOESN’T!”
“JUST TRY!”
“I CAN’T”
“JUST TRY – SAY ANYTHING!”

“I CAN’T – I CAN’T – I CAN’T BECAUSE THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS WILDFLOWER CAFÉ, AND THAT’S REALLY REALLY WHAT I WANT TODAY AND ITS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT!!!!”

He stood up, backed away from me slowly, and refused to speak. 15 minutes later I was happily eating my salmon salad from Wildflower. The next day he asked me how I could have possibly ever have known that. I told him I was psychic.

So see my dilemma here? I have been really amazingly unbelievable accurate in my predictions, but I also know there’s a lot of variables, so most time I don’t even say anything at all. I just like to keep it in my head and see if it turns out I was right. But do I owe it to people to tell them?

The other thing about that is, some people don’t want to know what’s going to happen. They want to be surprised, or just let nature take its course. So who am I to say, “Hey, go buy a lottery ticket, you are going to win a million bucks.” I mean, if it’s really gonna happen it will happen anyway right?

So what do you think about this?

Think I should tell people whenever I have a vision about something?
Do you think I should keep it to my self and just see if it turns out I am right?
Should I try to prevent the things I see from happening?
Would you want to know if I saw something about you?
Do you think it changes the future if I tell you what is going to happen?
How many times did I use the word ‘wonky’ in this blog?

Past Life Regression to Lifetime in Greece

The Regression

In a regression a person is taken back through hypnosis to explore to significant events in the past. The first scene is usually an introduction to that time period; where you are, who you are, what you look like and this is what’s happening. Then you move forward to a key event, and then you move forward again to the death in that life. Finally you move into the after life to find out what lessons you were supposed to learn from seeing this.

After my regression in Las Vegas with Dr. Brian Weiss, I wrote it all out and emailed it to my lover, who I was married to in my past life. We were both very interested in exploring past lives and were fascinated to find out where we had known each other before.

It was Greece. It seemed much earlier, and the city seemed much smaller, than what was depicted in the recent movie 300.

I was a woman and I was always alone. Always… he was always gone. When he was in the city he was training. He lived with the other soldiers, not with me. I lived with some very old man that was not my father, but more like my chaperone or guardian. I got the sense that he was my husband’s grandfather, like it was his house. And in a sense, he was to watch over me, but since I belonged to my husband I had to take care of his grandfather as well.

My husband didn’t like me very much AT ALL. I was assigned to him. I only served one purpose to him and that was to have children. And I didn’t. For years. So I was no good to him. He felt humiliated and embarrassed by the fact that I had no children, no sons. In his opinion, obviously there was something physically wrong with me, and that meant I must somehow be weak. So that disgusted him.

Spartans discard weak babies at birth, why not do the same with a wife that doesn’t fulfill her purpose?

My first memory was that I was wandering through the town by myself on my way to meet my husband. I was to report to where ever this training facility was and sit and watch him and wait for him. EVERYDAY. Everyday he was in town anyway. He would then have sex with me in the alley way, against a wall, as quickly as possible, everyday in an effort to have a son. It was really rough and unemotional – HE HATED IT. And he hated that he had to continue to have sex with me everyday because I didn’t get pregnant. As if I was torturing him on purpose. I blamed him because I felt that it was his fault I didn’t have children because he didn’t like me and didn’t like having sex with me. He had other lovers, and I felt as though because he spent more time with them, and didn’t like having sex with me, that was why there was no baby.

So in regressions, then the hypnotist progresses you forward to the next significant memory…

So moving forward in time I was sitting in my home with my guardian, this very old man, grandfather. My husband was away fighting or something. He had told me that I had better have a child by the time he returned. I was not pregnant. The old man and I were discussing this. I was explaining that I felt as though it was my husband’s fault because he didn’t like me very much, didn’t like having sex with me, and didn’t always even finish with me. I thought it was because he had other lovers. The grandfather felt as though this was much more serious than I did… I guess he probably KNEW what was going to happen… I was just frustrated that I was being blamed for this.

He recommended that I sneak out of the city, and VERY SECRETLY far far away from our home, in the middle of the night, find strangers that were traveling, and have sex with them. As many as I could in hopes that one of them would get me pregnant. The goal was to be pregnant by any means by the time my husband returned, as long as no one found out about it.

I thought that would be a horrible betrayal. I refused. I felt as though that would be a dishonorable thing to do. The old man insisted, apparently he had even gone so far as to have arranged someone to escort me and smuggle me out of the city during the night. They were to take me to this camp where nomads had temporarily settled.

I refused. I thought it was just absolutely horrendous that he would suggest that I would do something so disloyal, so dishonorable. Not very Spartan. I wouldn’t dare betray my husband.

The old man pleaded with me. (So, I guess he knew my husband was going to murder me.)

The hypnotist, Dr. Weiss, progressed me forward to my death, the final scene.

I realized I had been stabbed, I felt it, I looked down and saw the spear in my chest, it hurt so badly. I felt myself hit the floor, I was sooo confused about what had just happened, my lungs were filling with blood, the spear had hit my heart and pierced my lung, because I was gasping for air. I was trying to figure out, in that life and in the regression what was going on. I was overwhelmed with the sense of how unfair this was, I was shocked that I was just easily going to die without even a chance to defend myself. I was a strong Greek woman, I was trained to fight and it was all for nothing because I was going to die suddenly and easily and I thought that was a huge waste and so very unfair.

And why was this happening?

I looked around and I was in my house, we had just finished eating dinner, I was straightening things up, I had a bowl in my hand before I dropped it. I was taken completely off guard and was surprise, and I was gasping because I couldn’t breath. I was shocked. Just shocked that I was going to die so easily and I didn’t understand, and there was nothing more I could do about it.

I thought about how I had to warn my husband. My initial thought was that someone must have snuck into our home, and murdered me and would be after my husband next. I couldn’t imagine how this happened, and how my husband hadn’t protected me. It was all so confusing and overwhelming to take in and try to grasp what was happening. Who had done this to me?

For the first time, I looked down the spear and right into the eyes of my murderer who was standing over me. It was with complete shock that I realized those eyes belonged to my husband, and those are the same eyes that in my current life belong to my lover. I can only say that as I stared, I asked WHY with only my eyes. He twisted the spear and shoved it deeper into me and I gasped sharply and blood dripped from my mouth and I felt the spear scrap against the back of my rib cage. There in the meeting room in Las Vegas in 2007, I began to cry, so hurt that my own spouse, my lover, was my murderer.

I died very quietly, staring at him and his eyes. It was like a puzzle running through my mind as I tried to piece my last moments together. I was remembering, putting it all together. He had come home, I was obviously not pregnant, he must have noticed though we didn’t speak of it. I fed him, we ate together, he finished, he turned around to the fireplace, grabbed his spear, I stood up to clear the table, he turned back around and stabbed me. He waited till I fed him, and then he was finished with me.

As I floated out of my body I was able to watch everything he did and know why this was all happening. It was as if I could read his thoughts. He felt humiliated in front of the entire city that I had not produced any children: therefore I was weak, and I was not a good wife. To get a new wife that was able to bear children he needed to get rid of the one he had – there was no divorce. He planned to cut up the body and dump the pieces in the river, and then explain that I had run off and was missing. He knew it didn’t matter what he told people because no one would dare question him, and they all knew I was a poor wife that didn’t bear children anyway. I was so hurt and betrayed. He was still my husband and I was loyal to him, I had chosen not to sleep with other men to get pregnant and remained bound to him. I didn’t feel as though there was anything physical wrong with me and felt as though it was his fault we didn’t have children. I was shocked that my own husband would kill me as if it was a chore he was attending to.

I felt so betrayed, that I was actually crying in the meeting room in 2007.

I moved through the regression into the after life and was greeted by guardian angels and spirit guides. They were to calm me down. I was still so betrayed and angry, I had died so easily, I was caught so off guard, I was so trusting, I didn’t ever think my lover would do such a thing to me.

It didn’t occur to me AT THE TIME that I would come out of my regression and have to deal with this with WHO HE IS NOW.

My guardians explained that there was a very specific reason I was shown this at this time. That I was feeling too many things that were left over from that life time. I was scared of my lover and I had a really hard time trusting him. I could logically understand things that he told me, and I logically knew I could trust him, but I found it very hard. I could tell myself that obviously he must like me because he called me and would visit and was attentive, and yet I was having such a hard time believing that. At the same time we were so drawn to each other and both felt we had karma to work out between us.

When I came out of it, I had a new surprise, I didn’t have to deal with being some Greek woman being murdered and betrayed by her husband, but I had to think about what it meant that it was my lover that I have to be with everyday.

And honestly, looking back at the regression, I understand his justification and what he believed and what their culture believed. The city didn’t seem very big, he felt shamed in front of EVERYONE. That was very real to him, he felt this was the only logical way to get a new wife. And obviously there was something weak, and worthless about this one that didn’t serve her purpose and fulfill her duties. I was an object to him, it’s not like he was killing his wife that he was madly in love with and had feelings, emotions, or attachments to. I see both points of view. I do kinda think it was his fault, but I completely see his reasoning.

I wonder if getting stabbed in the heart could explain why I was born with mitrovalveprolapse (Heart Murmur.) Could be.

Our relationship ended badly. Extraordinarily so. However great things came out of our relationship that did very much impact both of us. Still, I have to wonder if perhaps this regression was a sign that I should have ended the relationship then and stayed away from him. Had I ended the relationship then, I would have avoided all the horrible things that happened, including the things that hurt me physically and emotionally.

So now that you have heard the story, what do you think?

Think I should have avoided him?

Think I should have dumped him then?

Or do you think that this he was merely acting reasonably based on their culture?

Do you think that we had karma together that couldn’t be avoided?

DEJA VU

“This is like Déjà vu all over again.” – Yogi Berra

 

This week’s question comes from Jason – Put me in your top 8 or the puppy dies!

Jason has been experiencing extreme déjà vu, mostly at work, where it seems that he is repeating entire conversations that he has already had. It seems surreal, and he also figures that if it had happened before, the person would tell him that they’ve already discussed this.

What is Déjà vu?

I picked this question because I figured it was short and also something most of us have experienced (70% of the population reports having déjà vu at least once.) It’s also a fun discussion because there is more than one correct answer.

I highly recommend this book.

-According to Sylvia Browne Déjà vu is a checkpoint. She teaches that we plan our life ahead of time in a blueprint. We plan who we are going to marry, who we are going to work out karma with, how many kids we are going to have, what we are coming here to learn. We put certain obstacles and lessons in our path so our soul can evolve. Of course we still have free will, but we basically sketch out certain things we want to come here to accomplish for our own spiritual growth. Déjà vu then is a checkpoint that marks that we are on the right path. It is usually something silly. For example, you reach down to pick up your car keys, and swear you have done it before at exactly this time, exactly this place, exactly this way, which is impossible because you were just in the kitchen. Yet, you still have that feeling. Sylvia Browne says that this is a check point. A moment that you planned ahead of time, that signifies that you are on the correct path, that your soul will remember and recognize when it passes through this point, this moment in time. So basically it’s a sign you are on the correct path.

-Sometimes déjà vu is a psychic moment. You knew this was going to happen. You saw it ahead of time. And now it really is happening. Prophetic dream, premonition, intuition, you remembered the future. You saw this ahead of time, now it’s actually happening.

-It’s a do over. In various spiritual philosophies one of the given spiritual laws is that there is no time. If there is no time this means we can incarnate at ANY point in time. That means that if we choose our next life could very well be in the 1400’s. We don’t have to follow a timeline, because there is no time. So just because its 2007 right now in this dimension, in this plane of reality, in this incarnation… doesn’t mean its 2007 everywhere else, or in the after life. This would also mean that you could choose to repeat this life. Instead of choosing to be a highlander in 1432 for your next life, or a space explorer in 2078, you could decide to come right back to the 1960’s and do this life over. Maybe you want to try repeating this life, but this time you don’t want to get divorced, you decide to go to law school, or maybe you just want to see what this life would have been like if you had moved to Alaska and had six kids. Therefore déjà vu, is you remembering this moment, from the last time you were here doing this.

-We can take this one step further as well. In his latest book, At Home With God, Neale Donald Walsch tells us a bit about dying. He says that when we die, we actually are given the choice to stay dead and go on to heaven, or come back. And when we come back… we get to choose what point we want to come back to. This means we can say, “Hey God, you know I want to go back, but I want to go back to when I was in college in 1983 because I think my life would have gone much better if I had stayed in Med School instead of dropping out and getting married.” AND POOF. You go back to 1983 and this time do things a bit differently. You get to keep exploring the possibilities of this incarnation, but this time with a different twist. So déjà vu is you remembering a moment when you did this before, when you were in this situation before.

- In his book At Home with God, Neale Donald Walsch makes another point as well. He talks about the moment of death, and certainly it could come into play with déjà vu as well. Say you die in a car accident. You get to heaven, and make the choice to come back. But you want to come back to that same moment and just continue on from there. So you just go back a few minutes before.

There you are on the same street corner. Déjà vu. You look around and KNOW you have been here before, but of course, you don’t remember getting hit by a bus. You see the bus, you have an eerie feeling, but in that moment you remember you forgot your wallet in the bookstore and head back to the store… or in that moment a person asks you for directions preventing you from crossing the street and getting in the way of the bus. Events have been changed and this time you didn’t die.

-Just FYI, Déjà vu is also linked with schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy. Turns out that Déjà vu could just be an electrical neurological misfire or a brief epileptic seizure. Which would mean that if we subscribe to what that research suggests, 70% of us are either schizophrenic or have had at least ONE epileptic fit. I think though that we can all agree that the déjà vu we have experienced doesn’t really fit into the “epileptic fit” theory. And schizophrenia is a very serious disorder, with very severe symptoms; I highly doubt that 70% of the population is just undiagnosed schizophrenics. Of course, it would explain some things. (Like those voices I think are talking to me!)

Tell me what kind of déjà vu have you experienced?
Does it happen to you frequently?
What do you think it is?
A memory?
A checkpoint?
A do over?
Something you dreamt?
A premonition?
A glimpse into another dimension?
A glitch in The Matrix?
An epileptic seizure?
An electrical neurological misfire?
A sign of schizophrenia?
A sign you are stuck in your own version of the movie Groundhog’s day?

What’s your theory on Déjà Vu?

MURDERED in a PAST LIFE

Imagine someone very close to you.
Not just a friend.
Someone you love and adore.

Myspace Layouts

Someone that knows all your intimate, deep dark secrets.

Myspace Layouts

A spouse or a lover.

Now imagine you’ve just learned that person you love and adore in this life,
Well imagine that bastard murdered you in cold blood in a Past life.

And you didn’t just LEARN this, not like somebody told you,
But you actually remembered. You had a regression.

You remembered it.
You felt it.
You experienced it.

You felt them stab you with a long spear
Right in the heart.

You stared up at them in disbelief.
You saw the cold look on their face.
You saw them twist the spear,
You felt that spear tear your heart open more.

You watched them, watch you die.

You remember feeling shocked and betrayed,
Murdered by your own spouse.

You felt helpless.
You couldn’t even defend yourself,
You were taken completely off guard.

You remember being in your own home,
Cleaning after dinner,
Happy your spouse was finally home with you again.

And you remember it happened so quickly you were completely surprised.

And as you died, you understood.

This person never loved you.
This person was embarrassed by you.
This person felt that you had dishonored them and shamed them.

Since they couldn’t divorce you,
They murdered you.

They felt that it was the only logical choice.

You died.
Literally of a broken heart.
Brutally murdered in cold blood, in your own home, by your own spouse.

Now you are back in the now.
The year is 2007.

But you remember.

And this person is close to you. Very close.

You realize now why you can’t seem to trust this person completely.

You realize now why you fear them for no apparent reason.
You know now why you feel like they don’t love you.

You understand that the two of you obviously have karma together.

You understand that obviously you are connected to each other.

You understand that the two of you have to learn from each other.

You understand that the two of you have to correct a tragedy from long ago.

But could you?

What would you do?
What do you think?

Would you stay away from them for fear history would repeat itself?
Would you simply accept that a past life has nothing to do with the current life?
Would you be able to have a happy relationship with this person
knowing they had murdered you before?
Could you continue along with them now that you know what they had done to you?

I was at a spiritual convention all weekend.
This topic came up in a Past Life Regression Workshop.
I am a Professional Past Life Regressionist myself,
(Well that’s what it says on my training certificate anyway)
So Past Lives and soul relationships have always fascinated me.

So imagine you just found out that your spouse or lover,
Murdered you in cold blood in a past life.

How would you feel?
How would you act towards them?
Would you talk to them about it?
Would you make them sleep in the other room?
Could you accept that what happened in a different life,
Is completely separate from your current life?

Can you imagine breaking up with someone:

“I’m sorry. But you killed me in a past life,
And I just don’t think I should be around you because of that.
Yeah, I’m just not gonna be able to forgive you, FOR MURDERING ME!”

SCARED TO DEATH!

 

I own a restaurant. (Let me clarify, I OWN it. My name is on all the paperwork. I don’t WORK there. I OWN tons of stuff. Race tracks, office buildings, airplanes, apartment buildings, property on the moon; it doesn’t have anything to do with what I actually do every day.)

Anyway since I own a restaurant – I steal food out of there all the time.

When my cook isn’t around, I just help myself.
That means I have to go into the dreaded walk-in refrigerator.

AND I HATE THAT.

The place is a 12 acre concert venue, so there are also two bars on the property, which means there are two walk-in beer coolers that hold cases upon cases of beer.

Sometimes I have to go in there to get beer, obviously.

AND I HATE THAT.

I am skinny. I am all bones.
I have nothing to keep me warm.

Walking into a beer cooler,

Refrigerator,

Or worse… THE FREEZER

is my idea of cruel and unusual torture.

(There are these high powered fans that blow chilling cold air right at me in an effort to flash freeze me to death.)

So while stealing food I have thought…

This would be the worst way for me to die.

Freezing to death.

I firmly believe in past lives, and I figure I’ve probably died every way there is.

It is said that if you have a fear of dying a certain way, you were probably killed that way and are just afraid of the memory.

This would explain my fears of being burned at the stake…

And the guillotine.

Sometimes these fears manifest themselves in other ways.

For example if you HATE wearing stuff around your neck or throat, no necklaces, no turtlenecks, no high collars… then you were probably hung in a past life or had your head chopped off and so your neck is sensitive.

There are many examples of this kinda thing in the medical research that has been done on past lives. Dying a certain way in a past life can manifest itself as an irrational fear in this life.
As an After Death Expert I also know that dying is NOT painful. In fact, being born is much more painful than dying is. So indeed, there is no reason to fear any type of death.

The soul doesn’t suffer in agony, it simply moves on.

But I would think for me personally,
Freezing to death would be slow, painful and agonizing. I know that I would pass out or fall asleep first. But the very idea of freezing to death terrifies me. For no good reason at all, I don’t even live anywhere cold where this would be a legitimate fear.

So what I want to know today is:

1. What do you think the WORST WAY TO DIE IS? 
2. Do you have any irrational fears or hang ups about dying a certain way that could be past life related?
For example, fear of drowning, fear of being eaten by sharks, fear of falling off a cliff, fear of being shot, fear of having your head chopped off, and fear of being burned at the stake?
And if so, do you have a visual image tied to it? Like a Memory?

How are you scared to die?

Past Life Clothes

PAST LIFE CLOTHES

Many of you asked how you can discover more about your past lives. Today we are going to do a very easy quiz. In fact I am posting lots of pictures to jog your memory! Take time and look at all the pictures and tell me which ones strike you or attract you! Please post more pictures in the comment section!

People are attracted to things they are familiar with, things that bring back happy memories, and things they feel comfortable with. This can even extend back into past lives.

So the types of foreign or historic clothing you are attracted can be a hint at what era or country you have lived in previously.

Plus, what one person picks, will be completely different than what another person picks.

Because different words & images trigger different memories for each of us.

If I say, SOLIDIER

Do you think of:

OR

OR

Everyone will answer differently for two reasons:</center>
1. Things you have been exposed to in this life, movies you watched, things you learned in school, stories your family told you.
2. Things you remember from a past life, that have NO CONNECTION to this life.

For example, I am a typical girl from Philly.
There is NO reason for me to be AMAZED at everything French, obsessively take years of French Lessons, and for me to want to dress like this:<CENTER>

So tell me what did you want to play dress up as?

What clothes do you miss wearing?

What costumes do you want to wear so badly, you know you actually lived during that time?

Also include:

Shoes

And Hats:

Tell Me!

What did you want to play dress up as?

Pirate, Cowboy, Spartan, Queen, Roman, Geisha, Samurai, Egyptian?

What to Expect from a Past Life Regression

R E G R E S S I O N E X P E C T A T I O N S

From www.sylvia.org

Everyone experiences a past life regression in their own way. Frequently, people experiencing a regression for the first time think they have “made up” their experience while in hypnosis or feel they have imagined all of it. But then little things will begin to happen that slowly provide validation to what you experienced.

To get the most from your past life regression, keep an open mind and don’t analyze your experience during the session. You will have plenty of time for that later. Simply let the information flow into your mind without questioning it.

Most people have experienced clues as to their prior incarnations. Are you drawn to a particular country, people or a specific time period, like the Civil War? If the Grecian architecture attracts your interest you may have lived in the time Greece flourished.

The same is true if you feel negative about a nationality, a place, or historic time period. Your soul’s experience may not have been to your liking. You may still feel the emotions of love, hate, rejection, or any other emotion that relates to a past life. We call these past life “carryovers” and they can directly relate to the life you are now living. Any strong affinity or aversion is a clue.

When the regressionist instructs you to step through the light into a past lifetime you may experience one of several different reactions.

You may see yourself quite clearly.
You may see quick impressions.
You may only seem to “know” without seeing.
You may not see anything, but feel as if someone is telling you what is happening.

Regardless of your initial reaction upon entering your own past, you will need to answer the questions as the hypnotist asks them. As the regression progresses, you will find the impressions become stronger.

If you actively analyze the process while in session, you will only retard the impressions. Your mind is on a journey through your soul’s experiences of lifetimes. Let it travel freely. Analysis can wait until your session is finished, after you have collected all the data.

Evaluating Your Hypnotic Capacity

Evaluating Your Hypnotic Capacity
From “Discovering the Power of Self-Hypnosis” by Stanley Fisher Ph.D.

On the 10 question test that follows, score yourself on a scale of 0 -3.

0 – never, 1- seldom, 2 – occasionally, 3 – often or always.

Questions

1. Do you ever become so involved in a television program, movie, or play that you lose awareness of where you are at?

2. In the midst of a conversation has the person you are talking to suddenly asked, “where have you gone?” Meaning that you have zoned out?

3. When reading or hearing about someone else’s experiences, do you get deeply involved?

4. Have you ever waited at a red light and suddenly realized that the person behind you is honking because the light has changed?

5. Have you ever been able to recall and experience so vividly that you almost felt as if you were actually reliving it?

6. Have you ever been deeply moved by an eloquent or poetic speaker?

7. Have you ever arrived home with an object a salesperson convinced you was perfectly suited for you only to realize that you did not want it?

8. Did you ever glance at a clock while engrossed in a book to find that it’s an hour later than you thought?

9. Do people complain that they have told you important things that you cannot remember?

10. Have you ever been physically hurt and only realized it later when you found the cut or bruise?

If your score is between 20 and 30, you probably have a high hypnotic capacity.

Scores from 10 to 19 indicate mid-range potential.

If you scored less than 10, you are likely to be at the lower end of the hypnotic scale, but, even so, if you answered any question with a two or three, your potential is greater than your overall score suggests.
