Happy Thanksgiving!  Kathleen

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

We don’t speak much about soul in our culture. We become conscious of our soul typically by the quality and enormity of feelings evoked in particular situations.  Like those triggered while gazing at an object of arresting beauty, or listening to music, or contemplating a natural wonder.  Our hearts swell with a feeling of expansive and unconditional love such as that we may feel towards a child or lover.  We may awaken from a dream knowing we have been touched by a sacred influence and be inspired by an inexplicable urge to make a change.  This yearning isn’t always gentle or comforting!  It can erupt in a storm; abrupt, alarming and devastating.

Is soul then a part of nature?  Does it live in our bodies?  What is its purpose?

Once we have acknowledged there is a part of us which is profoundly and mysteriously compelling, more so than any other aspect of ourselves, we are confronted with a myriad of inexplicable dilemmas.  What is our true self?  Because for certain this aspect of ourselves that we call soul can be (and often is!) at odds with our conscious and indeed seemingly logical life choices. Soul may demand that we make changes that are just plain silly in their terrifying lack of logical justification. They might not even be nice, considerate or kind.  Maybe not even moral in some people’s eyes!

We learn too often the hard way the devastating consequences of ignoring or even worse, minimizing the import of these tough soul demands! we suffer soul sickness and descend into the netherworlds of boredom, burn out, and mediocrity so appropriately depicted in the painting The Scream by Edvard Munch. Our lives feel flat, stark and purposeless.  We want to scream at its merciless and sterile predictability.

We might be driven to desperately grasp at quick fixes like shopping, gossiping or substances that numb the suffering such as wine or drugs.  Inevitably we will have to listen carefully to our soul’s guidance to survive.  It is vaster, wiser, and more loving than any other part of you. Trust the wisdom of your soul and if you cannot bear to take its advice explicitly then at least give it the time and attention it so deserves.  Whether you realize it or not, your soul is why you are here.  Paint, sculpt, write stories, record and contemplate your dreams, meditate - whatever it takes to honour your soul’s sacred messages.  As your soul communicates its guidance and you acknowledge its wisdom, your experience of life will deepen. Laughter will come more easily, living fully in the present will be the norm and your relationships will be more authentic.  You’ll be immediately aware when someone or something is soul defying and be ready to put some distance between you.

I am always so humbly honoured to do work that is the fulfillment of my soul’s intention.  I listen not only to my own soul’s song but to that of others who come to me for help in turning up its volume.  My connections with others are never mundane or dictated by conformity or obligation.  I value all the soulful interactions I have every day and wish you the same.

Intermediate Tarot Workshop

Quote:

“The time is not far distant, when raps, tippings, writings, and even trance-speaking, or any extraordinary manifestations, will all pass away, and people in the external image of their own divinity will see, and hear, and feel the presence of the angel-world all around them, and their own souls shall not require an external vision, or external feeling, or any of the external senses, to prove that spirits and angels are really here.  They shall come in the stillly night, with soft and pleasant voices.  They shall sing the songs of perfect love and peace; and no one will have a doubt.  This is our prophecy.  How is it to be done? By a gradual and almost imperceptible growth into a more spiritual condition; and, as it is reaching its culminating point, the time may not be as far distant as most people may imagine.  Spirituality is far more rapidly growing upon the inhabitants of earth than in any former period of human history.  The slow steps of a world, for ever slow in acknowledging the truth, shall accomplish more in the next fifty years than it has done in the last thousand.  Yet it will be slow, for it must come step by step, like the wheels of some majestic chariot; the more majestic and grand, the more slow and solemn shall be it’s approach. It shall not come to you at once, with an overwhelming power, like the day of pentacost, or like the mighty avalanche which at once buries all opposing obstacles; but softly, gently, gradually, like the approach of a genial summer after a dreary winter, when day by day the buds and blossoms put forth, and ere long you reap the fruition of the golden harvest; or, like the quiet repose of slumber, when you sleep you shall not know how you came to sleep.”

Discourses on Religion, Morals, Philosophy, and Metaphics V1 (1858)  by Cora L. V. Richmond
Cora was 18 years old when she channeled this discourse. I know Cora as my spiritual guide which is why I quote her so often!
