I didn’t begin my spiritual journey as many people do, by discovering that I was a psychic, medium, or healer. That all came later.
Instead I asked a friend for help when I was reasonably certain that I was heading for a breakdown, and discovered that I didn’t know him at all.
I worked with him for over 15 years, often listening transfixed, and what stops me becoming over excited by my own skills when people are fascinated by my work, is the recollection of sitting at Keith’s feet (metaphorically speaking) wondering how the heck there was so much more to life and I was completely unaware that it existed.
Mentoring not teaching
I prefer the term mentoring when I’m sharing what I’ve learned and experienced, because this isn’t about teaching adults, it’s about helping them explore the universal magic, and showing them the full potential of who they are. Psychic mediumship etc., is the working arm of the spiritual field, recognising that you’re a soul having a human experience is an entirely different journey.
I know that term is an old cliché, but for me it’s turned out to be a truthful one. I now feel that I am mind, body, and spirit as a fact, and I thoroughly enjoy helping others to find out how they feel about it.
How so?
I’ve learned since I’ve been on this path that classic 20th/21st century thinking isn’t life affirming. We live in a negative world where we can’t trust the information we receive into our phones and computers, and where the camera can easily be made to lie. As a society we are polarising in any number of directions, and ‘wokeness’ is causing all kinds of upheaval.
I would honestly say that thanks to Keith and my spirit guides and helpers, I’ve been awake for a very long time, and that doesn’t mean that I need to cancel anything or anyone. It’s far too inclusive and respectful for there to be a need to do that.
For example my genuine take on skin colour is that it’s gift wrap, and just as you wouldn’t reject a present because you don’t like the paper, you don’t reject a person because their gift wrap is different. In there may be the love of your life, your best friend forever (in universal terms), the teacher than can reach your troubled child, the person who will stop you stepping under a car. Etcetera. Any amount of great things in you life could be missed by judging a person by their skin.
I believe: Your skin may differ from mine but our souls are all light and therefore the same colour.
Had I never given thought to the existence of soul, I would never have looked at it this way. Not that skin colour ever bothered me, I wasn’t raised that way, but the actual idea that no matter what we think divides us, inside us is energy animated by atoms, and it’s the same energy (everything is atoms), is an idea that changes everything.
Spiritual thinking allows you to be yourself in a way nothing else I’ve ever explored does. It isn’t based on curing what’s wrong with you, focused on mental health, or correcting your faults. You just explore the idea of who you want to be and then create that person.
However, it is strongly based on letting go of the past, changing the faulty programming you’ve picked up here and there, dealing with the things that upset you, and taking gentle affirmative action to change your life.
No excuses here
This isn’t a personal cop-out way of thinking. You do face yourself and what you’ve been, you look at why mainly through visualisation, meditation, and sometimes practising reading for each other. Then you acknowledge what you don’t like, let it go, and move forward from there. I was raised in a rather bad way, when I realised it I felt absolutely terrible, but Keith taught me that I could decide on my personality and how I wanted to be, I did, and that upbringing is gone!
Then there’s the magic
As my groups and I have progressed through these teachings, yes me too, I’m taught something, I practice it, then I share it, the teachings have changed. My guide started by working on psychic connections, then mediumship, and lastly our personal connection to the spirit world. I expected the first two sections, but part 3 has been a wonderful surprise, and not just for me.
Both groups are noticing differences in the way we handle and approach life, and yet we don’t feel that we’ve done any hard work, we’ve just listened, tried the exercises, and everything is changing. For example, I no longer have vertigo. I did no work on vertigo. But it’s gone.
This work is incredibly magical, miracles happen. We start off the sessions often tired and a bit pale, by then end we’re sparkling and glowing. One member suggested that we do a screen shot before and after a session, we’re going to try and it’s going to be interesting. But we usually start with the answer “I’m okay thanks” to the how are you question, and at the end it’s “feeling great, thanks everyone.” The collective energy is so important.
Like minded souls
That’s what this all boils down to. Curious people who enjoy exploring everything life has to offer. Who are fed up with being put down, told they’re wrong, having their face, figures, lives, wages, jobs, personality, and so on, criticised, and who want to be a positive force in the life of others.
People who came to the ‘more to life than this’ idea in their own time and way, and then discovered there were other people who felt as they did. Who also wanted to be nice, supportive, honest people, and to explore their ideas and intuitions in a safe environment.
If you’re interested send me a message. I run evening groups on a Monday, and morning groups on a Wednesday, if I get sufficient people I’m happy to run an afternoon group too. Let me know what works. These groups will be new.
Whether you’re interested or not, never dismiss the idea that there’s more to life that what we see, hear, and think. Never feel that 21st century living is dragging you down and there are no alternatives. Never believe that you can’t change and transform yourself.
Transform your mind, transform yourself, transform everything.
To your happiness – and magic
