What is a spiritual crisis?  We tend to associate it with a loss of faith.  For an inexplicable reason we stop believing there is a divine will which is separate from our own.  It hasn’t helped that our much lauded “Scientific Age” has put strict parameters upon that which will be accepted as truth. According to the masters of science, for something to be true, it must adhere to specific criteria associated with rationalism, methodology, and visible proof.  Certainly science can claim many conversions to its side of the debate but it has obviously failed to lure everyone.

A hundred and fifty years ago, when science was forced to face the possibility of defeat in the face of irrational faith, it brought in its youngest and sloppiest sister, psychology.  Psychology (the word means the study of the soul) with its rather loose boundaries was invited to prove its mettle by debunking spirituality once and for all.  To this day psychology remains split on this fault line between those who adhere to notions of soul and spirit as an integral part of being human and those who think it’s all a matter of delusion and insanity.   We have a record of Dr. Freud (father of psychoanalysis) admonishing his colleague, Dr. Jung (father of analysis) not to fix his research upon soul and spirit or he will be irresponsibly throwing all credibility in the study of the psyche out in the cold.  Sadly at the end of his life however, Freud is also noted as saying that if he’d had his life to live over he would have studied the esoteric sciences!  It really was all about garnering favour with the scientific community.

At the Perimeter Institute, a world class science research project initiated by one of the owners of RIM (producer of the blackberry) the most brilliant science minds of our age have been have been conjuring formulas to prove the reality and truth of quantum physics.  Physics, certainly one of the purest titans of science in its fascination with quantum physics is curiously reaching across the old divide between faith and science.

I don’t mean to suggest that I don’t love science.  My highest grades in school were in physics and math but it was in the arena of creative expression, story-telling, and sociology that my soul soared and my spirit sang.  I’ve always believed that we must be mindful not to fall into the trap of one being more right, valuable, or true than the other.  We must push ourselves to demand a balance of faith and science in order to avoid the pitfalls of spiritual crisis.  Love and wisdom set the highest standards by which we can solve our personal and collective problems.  We cannot expect that prayer will solve our pollution problems any more than we can expect logic to fix our infantile desire. Utilizing both powers and demanding a balance between the two will hold our faith steady and make our logic creative.  If one wing is stronger than the other we find ourselves flying around in circles.

Quote:

“Say what you will of science, it affords means for material life and usefulness; but when death comes, the great living terror of the world, before which even sages pale, and before which science has no answer to give, then professor and sage ask themselves the question, “Do the dead live?” is there any proof that beyond this change there is another life, and that sentient immortal souls will meet us and commune with us there? And if there is an answer to this question brought to the world, is it not indeed worth all the deductions of science to know it? A scientist would like a letter from his daughter or son in Italy or America.  But if gone farther, and hidden out of sight beyond the veil, does he have no longing to know whither they are gone, and if in that unseen but near world they still live and love? Oh, death no longer a mystery.  It is a sweet and silent messenger of change, the putting off of the outer and the recreation of the inner soul! No longer a terror, but evident to the senses, made tangible to the human ear and sight and understanding, there comes the proof that another, an outside intelligence, known by name and calling those they loved, can come and speak to us.  Is not this of more value to us than all science? And if it is not worth anything to the scientist, and if he has not time to listen to it, let him not scoff at those who think it worth their while to know of the other life.”

 Psychic Readings by Kathleen

The most spiritually evolved guides in the celestial realm communicate to us through a language best described as symbolic. This is why universal and archetypal symbols are important to recognize, interpret and comprehend.  They appear in your day and night dreams, visions, and through a process called synchronicity.  Synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence.  We know when we are experiencing it because it triggers feelings and sensations like neck tingling, goose bumps and giddy excitement. A symbol (which could be a number, a shape, an animal, a word) is one you should work to translate because it may be a vital piece of information which is directing you to your soul-intentioned purpose and path.
Symbols appear to us collectively too.  There are symbols appearing all the time that we can all see.  For example, crop circles and most recently deep, and perfectly round sink holes that are suddenly appearing in the earth such as the most recent one in Guatemala.  We must ask ourselves, “What do circles mean?”  We know the circle is a powerful universal symbol.  To name just a few; the earth, the sun, womb, cycles, and wholeness. Although we may ignore these spiritual messages, they just keep on coming in varying forms and venues but we recognize them nonetheless.  Our guides continuing to amp the dreama until we simply can’t ignore them any longer!
What symbols have been appearing to you in your dreams and waking life? If you look at your life as a compilation of symbols, what is the underlying message? You might ask why spirit is so cryptic in its language.  Why not just spit it out in plain English?! Because the symbol is the most comprehensive conveyance of a message that is just too multi-layered to express in simple terms.  Have you ever tried to explain a complex equation to a child of four?
As we move through the next decade which promises to be challenging, acknowledging and interpreting symbols personally and collectively will become a critical skill.  When you are confused and frightened, remember to say, “I need the aid, and the guidance, and influence of spiritual powers.”  Observe, listen, trust and understand the answers that will come through in the form of symbols.

I will be attending a weekend workshop facilitated by Dr. Christine Page from June 4 - 6th called “Spirit Mapping”.  Christine is a British trained M.D., and naturalpathic doctor who also embraces the word mystic to describe her work.  There is nothing more magical than the marriage of science and spirit. This is central to Christine’s gift.  I highly recommend you read her latest book, 2012 and the Galactic Center:  The Return of the Great Mother.

Quote:

“Those who do not wish either to measure the soul or its qualities by the narrow “I” rules of earthly mathematics or chemistry, but rather would be born into the alchemy of the spirit, into the subtle wonders, will find that spirit is the solvent of all mysteries; that beyond mathematics, beyond chemistry, superior to astronomy, there is the divine gift of perception, of the seeing of the life of things; and will understand that humanity’s soul is the centre, and the visible universe is but the circumference of life, and that all powers vested in humanity are from within.  The great wonder is not that humanity lives, but that living and possessing these powers she does not acknowledge them in the wonder and infinitude of love that is spread out before her.”

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

Along with wishing your mom a Happy Mother’s Day this month, don’t forget to send your loving and gift giving wishes to our Earth Mother too.  If your life mother cares deeply for Gaia you can make a donation/sacrifice of yourself on her behalf for Mother’s Day.  Many moms have more material possessions than they even want to store, care for, or move. They bemoan, “What am I going to do with all this stuff I have especially gifts people have given me over the years?!”  Whatever your choices and/or responsibilities involve towards your mother this coming Sunday, remember to awaken with a prayer in your heart to the Mother of All, she needs your love and sacrifice more than ever.

Many ask how we know when a psychic/spiritual message is real.  In other words, how can we know it is not just our own imagination or wishful thinking at play?  You can think of it as the same as touch.  You are aware when you touch your own hand by the double sensation; of not only the sensation of the hand that touches, but of the hand that is being touched.

The mental process by which you arrive at any thought is a double process too. You are not only aware of the thought vibrating upon the brain, or within the brain, but you are aware of the consciousness which produces the thought as like a delicate thread laid along the intelligent power named volition.  It is the vibration upon the brain cell.  When a thought enters your mind without this dual consciousness, without this other subtle process, a distinct thought that is just as palpable as the dropping of a drop of water upon the hand, or the touch of another person upon the body, that thought is not yours. This is a true psychic/spiritual impression.  Frequently such impressions come in while in a whirl of distraction, when your mind is preoccupied elsewhere. It is as distinct as a pebble dropped into calm water.

Generally you can distrust any impressions which are in direct accordance with your wishes, for where our desire enters, there is lack of clarity in the perception of truth, particularly if your desire is a selfish one.  Selfless, unconditional love, is the source of all that is in spirit communication.  Desire is recognizable by our attachment to the outcome. Ego driven, it has everything to do with selfish fulfillment and nothing to do with another except how they might be co-opted to fulfill our base needs. If you think spirit will make another do your bidding, give your head a good shake! Nothing could be further from spiritual truth than this.  You can be sure in asking spirit to help, you will receive exactly what you need and not necessarily what you want!

Trust only your spiritual/psychic impressions and intuitions that come at variance with your selfish wishes, for they are not only from the inner nature of your own spirit, but are doubtless the promptings of the guardian spirit to lead you aright.  The moral energies here intervene. Frequently a spiritual impression will be in direct opposition to your individual wish and will. If the spirit/psychic message does come upon a subject that you have no knowledge or judgment about, obey it!  Failing to do so will almost always lead to regret.

This is why it is difficult to trust information revealed in readings we do for ourselves.  If it is on a matter to which we are indifferent of outcome (which oftentimes begs the question - why do the reading?) fine, but if it is on an issue which is of the utmost importance, it is better left to an objective party.  If you are attributing a message to spirit, the first question you must ask yourself and answer honestly is, “Do I care about the outcome of this situation?” If it is remotely yes, you are very likely caught in a rationalization of wishful thinking and listening to the voice of desire, not spirit.

Quote:

“Without considering at all the abstract proposition of the ethical nature of spirit communion, many individuals are desirous of knowing the modus operandi.
It was stated in our previous discourse that such persons, however, do not take into consideration the fact that they have passed through none of the preliminary stages whereby they can understand the methods of spirit communion, but like the child, asking to know astronomy without studying the primary principles either of mathematics or of the laws governing the stellar universe.  In the same sense, humanity is wholly in ignorance of the laws governing the communion between the two worlds.  But a fact is just as easily stated, even though you do not understand it, and some of those methods I can state to you as realities, which may, perchance, only reach your minds in the guise of supposition or possibility, but which, after a lapse of time and greater familiarity with the subject, you will then comprehend. Baron Von Riechenback discovered through clairvoyance, the clairvoyant being under his mesmeric control, that every object (not only metals, but plants and human beings), is surrounded by an aura. That aura is more or less magnetic, according to the nature of the object.
Some persons are so sensitive to these nerve auras, or nerve atmospheres, that they cannot bear close contact in a crowded room with a number of people; and if a very refined and highly sensitive and nervous organism is sitting side by side with one the reverse, the former is obliged often to change his or her seat.  This is frequently done unconsciously, and frequently these nerve auras make you uncomfortable without you being aware of what disturbs you.  Often you change your seat in a crowded assemblage or in public conveyances without knowing the impulses that caused you to do it.”

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

In the Spring our bodies become responsive to the fragrance of fertile soil calling for seed; our skin vibrates fresh with life and warmth under the brightening sun, and the cacophony of mating throughout the animal and plant kingdoms awakens us in the growing dawn and lullabies us to sleep at night.  Easter eggs are our enduring tribute to this dizzying yearning. Sustaining our reasoning brain in the driver’s seat of our relationship path takes a feat of self-will which in the Tarot cards is symbolized by the Strength card.  Acknowledge and revel in the sensations but don’t let it put your common sense into a coma.  Our instrument of logic is another divine gift after all.  One equally vital in our meandering journey to enlightenment.

Many clients who seek my advice say that I must love my work.  I do.  But that doesn’t mean it’s easy or simple.  It’s texturally complex.  People consult me because they believe I am able to see the future and psychically attuned to elements to such as, what others in their life are feeling, thinking and planning.  Clients put a fair degree of faith in what I am forecasting until I say something out of sync with their desires.  Typically some insight is good, and some not so good.  Life inevitably unfolds with its lion’s share of frustrations, disappointments, changes, losses, and regrets.  Some clients have the fortitude to accept those bits of challenging insight better than others.

Some clients call me after consulting several other psychic advisers on the same issue demanding to know why I am forecasting something completely different from what others have predicted.  One woman recently boldly announced she had just hung up from chatting with another adviser who had assured her that her marriage would be reborn if she applied a few simple magic meditation rituals.  She called me for a second, affirming opinion.  I told her that an eternity of magic tricks would not bring her ideals of marriage to the fore with the man she was presently married to. Throughout the course of our conversation it emerged that indeed her husband had confessed to several affairs, that he’d baldly announced that he never truly loved her, and in fact that he found her altogether repulsive.  Albeit heartbroken, she had chosen not to take this pronouncement as the truth.  Tragically I know that she continued to call another bevy of advisers in pursuit of what she wanted to hear.

I can relate too many such stories.  Like a mantra I tell women and men that romantic love is quite simple.  When someone is crazy about you, you actually do know that.  They tend to behave rather predictably.  For example, you are among the top three concerns on their priority list.  Your joy, good health, and creature comforts are paramount to their peace of mind.  They contact you regularly to find out how you are.  Like you do with them.  When someone is using you for their own purposes, you know that too.  Every aspect of your relationship is dependent on your bowing to their will and desires.  As soon as you ask for a little more sugar they are scrambling out the door with barely a backward glance.  That’s isn’t love.  It isn’t even lust.

There are times however when we find ourselves in love with someone who is mentally unbalanced which is going to require soul healing to get everything sorted - such as who loves who.   This certainly does introduce a complicating element to the dance of love!

I have knowledge of mental disorders.  For years I taught others how to assess, and heal them. Mental illness can thwart the best laid relationship plans! You must be cautious not to be drawn into the construct of the dis-ease itself: Playing a game by which the rules are set by the mental disorder. This is a relationship destined to failure.  For example, playing Wendy to your man Peter Pan (the boy who would never grow up) is on a crash course because we as living, growing beings have a natural inborn imperative to grow too.  At some point your relationship with Peter Pan will push at the boundaries of the Land of Forever Children and nudge it to the edge of grow or die.

Like Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan is jolted by an emotional shock (such as a parent dying) which awakens him from the dream he’s playing at living. In a moment he dashes off and marries someone else who represents the real world to him.  Like a perfect puzzle fit, the soon-to-be-bride nestles within the strict conformist parameters set by his family of origin, religion and class.  She represents living in the real world to him.  The world of reality, grown ups, and social acceptance.  You discover you were the playing Wendy part to his Peter Pan fantasy that was terrifically great fun but hardly one he would actually live with in the real world.  He may very well suggest that you stick around on the sidelines for when he wants to play at being Peter Pan occasionally.  How many women and men have been gobsmacked when casually their lover announces they are marrying another?!  When I suggest to a client that this is where the relationship is heading my job enters the realm of textually complex.

All of these same relationship tribulations plague men too!  Many male clients tell me tragic love stories.  Tearfully grief stricken, and hopelessly in love with a woman who regards him as a sensitive friend, a great shoulder to cry on and an occasional sex partner when the pickings are slim but seriously?  No way.  He’s just not the one for her.  What would people say? Women and men may construe their soul mate under differing criteria but the outcome pain and suffering is the same.

I especially caution people at this time of year about the online dating opportunities which flourish like crab grass in the spring. Not that it doesn’t have it’s extraordinary success stories but statistically they would seem to be on par with winning a jackpot.  How many have to play before someone wins? If you are gearing up for an online meet and they press you for more photos of yourself please consider what this is really all about.  I’d be strongly tempted to send him my worst pics because at some point in our budding love he’ll certainly have to confront that eventuality. Most likely however I would opt to send him none having a particularly strong predilection for risk-takers myself.

I wish you all the joys and excitements of April…just remember to keep it all in perspective.  Your heart and soul knows true love.  It’s open, consistent habits of communication, willing self-sacrifice, endurance, honour, virtue, loyalty, devotion and pining.  It’s all rather old-fashioned and time consuming.

Quote:

“He saw the inside of a cottage, and an elderly couple sitting before their fireplace.  The wife stood up and approached the man from behind his rocking chair and began to brush his hair.  Then she began to sing to him.  It was only a simple lullaby, but he smiled and closed his eyes.  Their contentment seemed complete.  These lovers have achieved the second rung of the ladder of learning.  They have tasted passionate love, but beyond this, they have discovered how to live together with integrity.  This has taken them much time.  They are old now.  They are patient, kindly, peaceful, and full of affection for each other.  They are loyal, unselfish, and forgiving.  They will be together until they pass on to the next life.  Some learn these things quickly, and some take more time.  A whole life is not too much to attain the second rung in the ladder of love.

Fool: It is very beautiful.  This must be a life full of satisfaction.

Magician: It is yours if you wish.  The valley of love welcomes all who would wish to spend their days in this way.  If you truly want a life of love like this, then you will be able to have this experience.  You have come to the right place.  There is much maturity and integrity required to live loyally in a committed relationship.  These are good people.”

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

I often receive emails from traumatized people seeking spiritual direction and solace regarding possession, curses, and all manner of pesky, dark and invasive entities. Caught in a vortex of fear, victims of this phenomenon are willing to do anything to free themselves of this perceived blight on their lives.  Attributing everything from their financial ruin to relationship disintegration on a curse they were told had been placed on them or their family up to a millennia ago.  For those who adhere to a notion of reincarnation, this fear assumes alarming and gargantuan proportions.

There is some confusion afoot about the spirit world and how these matters actually function. Light, love and goodness are intensely more forceful than shadow, fear and ill intentions. When you are in a shudder-less dark room and light a candle, notice how much light is cast into the room? Enough to see another person or discern where objects are placed.  Conversely, when in a room bright with sunlight, notice how far a shadow is cast by an object.  Does it spread wide and throw the bright room into pitch darkness? Are you still able to see everything in the room?  When you meet someone who is afraid and you offer them a warm smile of welcome, does this not easily relax their fear?  When you are having an upsetting discombobulated day and someone extends a friendly gesture, do you notice how all the day’s frustrations suddenly melt away from your consciousness?  A little love seems to go a long way just like a little candle lit in the darkness.

If I am mindfully honourable and act in a loving manner towards others; if I work in the light and believe in the power of love and goodness, how could darkness overwhelm me?  If I perceive that my life is cursed then I must ask myself why I persist in the shadows!  If everything in my life appears horrible, it isn’t that someone has sent a bad spirit to plague me, it’s that I’m not asking the highest and best to be with me.

When we pass to spirit life, it’s like a reversed mirror of the material world.  Those who who are attached to the power of the material plane risk the danger of remaining so when passing to spirit. This means they will pulled to the lowest level of spiritual existence.  Hence the reversed mirror image. This is why people have been admonished to be cautious when using tools such as the Ouji Board.  Do you know who you are inviting for a visit?  Untrained you could be inviting any spirit in the astral plane (the lowest and most earthbound plane) to parlay with you and unless they are in attendance out of love it could well be for their own design which may or may not match your own.

Another common question people ask me is who are their spirit guides.  I don’t trust that anyone here on the earth plane is qualified to tell me that.  This is a gift you will receive from spirit directly through a series of synchronistic signs, symbols, dreams and visions when the connection is ready to be established.  Trust in what you know to be true!  When asking for guidance be sure to ask the highest and best to be with you.  You want those of the highest celestial realms to be with you in your times of suffering and desperation.  The brightest lights in the celestial realms easily dispel any darkness cast by those ignorant spirits caught still between the worlds.  We cannot be cursed or attacked unless we are persistently acting in darkness.  Just like you need to work in the light here on earth, so must you do in spirit.  If you fervently believe you are cursed, ask with a selfless heart that they be brought into the light by those most spiritually unfolded in the spiritual realms.  Immediately the light breaks their darkness and you are left to live your life in peace.

Quote:

“Have you ever seen how in the midst of truth, falsehood betrays itself and strives to fly away from the peaceful yet clear light of the vanquishing nature of truth? Such is the condition of ignorance and crime.  In spirit life, immured in one’s own condition, one may not be aware that one’s state is a state of negation, because to the individual the reality of one’s own state becomes more and more apparent, and more and more appalling. Such must have been the states of darkness into which Dante gazed when he looked into purgatory;  this condition within the individual where they bear with them their atmosphere of darkness, and conscious of their own condition, how could they be powerful to do harm to others?

The humans of evil intentions are like pirates instead of merchant ships, and passing into spirit life, they carry with them the mists and shadows of their own state, and they would strike blindly if they struck forth to injure others.

It is a singular law of spiritual existence that the centre of attraction for every spiritual force is the individual, and that as the individual is bright, or beautiful, or good, all spiritual force that resembles that state will be drawn towards them.  If you send forth prayers, they return in blessings; if you send forth good thoughts, they return in beautiful images to surround you; and if you send forth shadows, they envelope you in shadows, for you surround yourself with your own thoughts and conceptions.  If it were possible for the spirit to steal, think of murder, revenge, or any condition resembling those states, that same law of which we speak would send this thought back upon him or herself, and redouble the shadows around them, until by the very overwhelming weight of their own condition the spirit would strive to overcome it.”

“Spiritualism has inaugurated the era of woman,” Mary Davis proclaimed in the 1860’s.  She recalled the common birth date of the new spiritual message and call for women’s rights in 1848.  Spiritualist conventions pronounced the, “Emancipation of women from all legal and social disabilities.” Consistently those who assumed the most radical positions on women’s rights became Spiritualists.  Not all feminists were Spiritualists but all Spiritualists advocated strenuously for women’s equal rights.  Women were equal to men within Spiritualist practice, polity and ideology by adhering to a form of spiritual practice in which truth revealed itself to individuals without recourse to external authority.  In the mid 19th century US, there were eleven million spiritualists in a population of twenty five million!

In manner of dress, the right to speak in public forums, to own their own money, to be spiritual leaders, Spiritualism was at the helm.  In Spiritualism the place of worship was relocated to the home from the church or temple whereby spirit circles gathered around parlour and kitchen tables.  When it was taboo and in some cases illegal for a woman to speak out in church or in any public arena, trance mediums were mounting platforms and speaking to crowds of thousands.

Spiritualism taught women to exercise the self-healing properties of her own nature and develop more egalitarian relationships with her medical care provider.  Spiritualist groups were creating underground railways to protect women from asylum commitments designed to stop a woman from leaving abusive marriages.  Medicine and clergy alike were duplicitous in forcing vulnerable mediums into asylums and prisons.  Gifted mediums were murdered continuing the witch-burning tradition well into the early twentieth century.  The famous Comstock book burnings of the early 20th century destroyed thousands of books, articles, and reports proving spirit return.

Spiritualists declared, as one advocate put it, that, “woman’s freedom is the world’s redemption.”  The seeds of modernism, psychoanalysis, communications, human rights, longevity were all planted and nurtured from the unseen to the seen world from the mid-1800’s onward.  All spiritual evolutions have had their heralds who point the way in re-membering and call the flock home to the true message.  One that is dynamic, in a temple that is our heart, and to its expression in the actions we chose to take.  Whenever you embrace the opportunity to speak out loud what is in your heart, you are honouring those who risked everything more than a century ago to clear the path for equality of expression, of access to knowledge and the right to personal agency in your every day lives.  Be confident that this world has had as many enlightened spiritual guides and teachers who were female and re-member them in your meditations and your prayers over this coming month when everywhere you look you will be encouraged to celebrate the presence of love in your life.

This is the time of year when visioning, orienting intentions and setting timeline goals is on everyone’s minds.  The first vital step is reflecting on last year’s successes and what needs to be re-intentioned for the year ahead.  Depending on your personality type, one of these processes will be more appealing than others.  I favour visioning the best.  I often recommend this fun exercise especially when the Chariot card shows up in a client’s warning position in their reading.  Jump start your goal setting with a visioning board.  It’s engaging and affirming!

Begin with a large piece of cardboard (2′ X 3′) and sit down quietly with a stack of images that you pull together from magazines, the internet, your own and other’s photos, ad flyers and anywhere else you can find them.  Following a meditation and/or prayer, flip through your stack of images selecting those that click intuitively with what you want to bring towards you over the coming months.  Paste these images on your board and fix your dream collage to a wall that you gaze upon often.  In this exercise you are constellating the power of the unseen world to assist in the manifestation of your dreams.  Magic power.  In esoteric teaching remember, as above so below, and like attracts like.  By energetically projecting images of special significance to yourself out into the world, those images in the world find their way to you.  Seeing is believing, and believing is manifesting.

My visioning for 2010 is themed around creative expression.  When I was younger I used to design and craft all sorts of neat things from clothes, to household items to jewellery.  I’d spend hours picking materials, patiently crafting some item that had captured my imagination and crow with joy when it turned out reasonably close to what I had imagined.  I don’t recall being plagued with an internal, overly self-critical examiner either. This year I’ve set my intentions to reclaim that joy.  Simple and fun.  I want to create, become more self-sufficient and learn.

True spiritual expression is revealed in our actions.  Meditation and prayers are a start but it the power of action truly honours our soul’s expression.  Ask yourself this coming year, “Does this action forward my soul’s purpose?”  If not, why do it? If you don’t know what your soul’s purpose is, do a visioning board with that intention in your heart.

For those of you who are Tarot enthusiasts remember to determine your coming year by adding your birthday (day and month) to 2010 and study the corresponding Major Arcana card.  This year is my Chariot.  The Chariot will direct me to follow my instincts, claim my desires, take the necessary action to meet my own psychological needs, and being responsible for my actions.  In the shadows, the Chariot will teach me lessons related to restlessness, imbalance, decadence and lack of clarity.

2010 means collectively we have reached the end of a developmental cycle.  This represents the energy of completion, arriving at the pinnacle of achievement, crossing the finish line, summing up and preparing for transformation.  This coming year consider what is getting completed. Watch for cycles ending.  This will be the year when you decide what you’ll take with you into 2011 and what is now over in your life. The combination of the final and Blue Moon of the year, followed by 2010 makes it especially important for you to take charge of what promises to be a signficant year for all of us.

January Events

January 28th Lecture at Wilfrid Laurier University on Spiritualism and Women.  Although this lecture is not open to the public it will be videoed and uploaded to my youtube site so you’ll be able to watch it online. 

Quote:

“By providing a form of religious practice in which truth revealed itself to individuals without recourse to external authority, Spiritualism became a magnet for social and political radicals throughout the nineteenth century.
In addition, the large audiences assembled by Spiritualists at their own conventions became crucial to the dissemination of radical ideas.  At these events, woman’s rights was not presented as just another reform.  Rather, Spiritualists believed, as one advocate put it, that “woman’s freedom is the world’s redemption.”  As investigation of the manifestations swept the nation, Spiritualism became a major-if not the major-vehicle for the spread of woman’s rights ideas in mid-century America.
Spiritualism’s greatest contribution to the crusade for woman’s rights probably lay in the new role of spirit medium.  Far from requiring guidance from men, mediums led both men and women on the path to truth. In mediumship, women’s religious leadership became normative for the first time in western history.”

This month will be rich with change for most people around the world.  We’ll all be challenged to adapt!  On the 21st we have the Winter Solstice, marking the shortest day of the year for those of us in the north.  In the Tarot this day is represented by the Sun card; depicting the birth of the twin gods of the solar cycle.  The Sun is born from the dark womb of the darkest night in the year, and on that day the hours of sunlight begin to lengthen and the power and strength of the sun grows.

Adding to all the excitement, December will celebrate two Full Moons! A “Blue Moon” on December 31st.  You’ll have double the opportunity this month to evaluate and purge that which no longer serves you.  We tend culturally to evaluate and resolve to make positive changes on New Year’s Eve anyway.  This is going to be one wild and crazy night.  Note: If you have loved ones working in emergency services be sure to send them a prayer of peace that night.
We do unusual things in December.  Connect with friends and family we haven’t spoken to for months or even years; buy odd stuff; travel to new or old haunts; and eat and drink often exotic substances that challenge us physically to stay in balance.  it’s a joyful, painful, exhilarating, depressing and spiritual time for millions around the globe.  You’ll notice the first profound energy shift three days from now when the night of the first Full Moon draws to a close.  The next will be at the start of the New Moon on the 16h culminating to full ness on the 31st. Mark these days on your calendar to prepare.  After the 16th the planning, building, accumulating and arranging really gets some traction.
I’m excited about December.  The balancing of the celestial feminine and masculine energies (Sun and Moon); and the excitement building as the Blue Moon approaches.  Once in a Blue Moon is the old expression.  I wonder what that once will be collectively and personally? It won’t be a boring month, of that we can rest assured.  Be mindful of the language you use to express your feelings and ideas.  Your expression this month will carry long tentacles of unfoldment into your short and long term future.

Quote:

“Whosoever gave the possibility of expression in written (and spoken) Language gave to the world of human life the highest gift (ie. the gift of expression), since language expresses, without appeal to the senses; the ideas and emotions that spring from the Soul, pure Idealism.
It can be truly said that in the highest use of language today, both in writing and speaking, the human mind is capable of expressing every range and shade of human thought.  Words and combinations of phrases and sentences that, appealing only to the mind, stir the innermost depths of thought and awaken from the Soul the immortal Truths elsewise veiled from expression.
The one endowed with the best Ideas, and the language to best express them, is the greatest among mortals-mentally.  This Angel must be the one who is master of expression-verbally-having the highest thoughts to express and knowing the best forms of expression.
Sometimes the Angel of the Group appears in the threefold expression of Art, and, as Teacher, Leader, shows the way by perfect demonstration and elucidation.  Around him gather those culminating lives that are just ready to complete the line of embodiments in one, and sometimes all, of those directions.”

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

What never fails to amaze me is the changes that have been wrought in relationships due to our increasing dependence on technology for communication.  Don’t get me wrong I love technology.  In matters of the heart however, it speeds the romantic dance up to a fevered pitch.  A couple connects and within a day they are texting each other all day long and into the wee hours of the morning.  There is an expectation of constant communication which in my experience is counterintuitive.

Relationship building is like baking a hearty bread.  It takes time.  From the spark to sharing and turn off now takes a matter of days. Romance has become another fast foody option.  Meet someone; like the flavour (appearance and superficial personality characteristics), text each other twenty times a day until you hit a snag and it’s over.  Next?

I hear from men and women, “But s/he hasn’t responded to my messages in two days.  Have they met someone else?” Back in my single days (twenty years ago), if I didn’t get a call from someone in a couple of weeks, I just assumed he was as busy as I was. But now it would seem if you haven’t heard from someone in a couple of days, it’s a dud.

All of this immediate and intense communication between newly inspired couples acts as a barrier to full and proper psychic absorption. How do you feel about this person without hearing OR reading another thing about them?  What are your dreams in the interim revealing? How would you know if you don’t give yourself some time for this exciting new attraction to settle into your being?  Don’t assume that just because you haven’t heard from them in a few days it’s because you didn’t make quite the mind blowing impression you had worked so hard to effect.  Instead use the quiet for a much needed intuitive check in. Exillerating and romantic stories are the ones that have flowered in a garden of mystery, elusiveness and anticipation.

All relationships are getting infected by this apparent compulsion for communication.  Kids are expected to check in throughout the day so parents know where they are and what their plans are.  I couldn’t have imagined anything more abhorent to me as a child than having to notify my parents regularly about where I am, whom I’m with and when I’d be home.  They were invasive enough in my view.  When I left the house in the morning for school I was happy to know I’d see my family later for dinner.

Certainly people are getting frustrated and annoyed by how text responsive they are expected to be to their work place.  ”You had your blackberry turned off?, the boss inquires with a raised brow on Monday morning as if you are a pathetic loser.  A slacker or derelict that can be easily replaced by a more willing and responsive servant, you need hardly be reminded.

Boundaries and privacy are as vital to the health of a relaitonship as kissing.  When you meet someone who sets your soul on fire, give the sacredness of the experience to grow.  Avoid texting.  If they don’t call you in a couple of weeks, use the time to put your intuition to work.  Too much too fast brings a natural cycle to climax too quickly.  Given enough time and contemplation this person could be just the one you’d thrill to be with for an eon.  Be the one to say you don’t text when you meet that special someone.  Texting is a characteristically too cold a medium to support and nurture an authentic soul connect.

Quote:

“”I’m going to pull into this gas station and get directions,” Wayne said as he turned off the road.  Anne’s eyes grew wide.  ”I don’t believe it,” she said loudly and stomped her feet on the floorboardsd with childlike excitement.  When he was out of sight, she threw her head back and laughed, thrilled to have found a man who could ask for directions without hesitation. She’d known from their first date that Wayne was a remarkable person, but in that seemingly inconsequential instant she realized that she could honestly love him.

As Wayne returned to the car, he stopped and looked at her through the window.  The grin on her face matched the way he felt inside.
Their second date hadn’t turned out exactly as he’d planned; Anne had spent almost half of it unconscious. But even more unexpected was the thought that had planted itself firmly in Wayne’s mind over the preceding hours; he was going to ask Anne out again, and then-at some time, he didn’t know how, nor did he know when- he was going to ask her to marry him.”

October first was a very special day for me.  I celebrated a bountiful and luscious harvest of my own.  October first marked the culmination of a formidable piece of work I began and completed more than ten years ago.  My unpublished dream dictionary is now available online.  To see my old/new dream dictionary click here

I started guiding dream classes/groups in 1991 in Victoria, B.C. Over the past year I have again been having increasing and persistent urges to launch yet another dream group which began two weeks ago.  It’s challenging to explain what exactly happens in a dream study group because each one has been as unique as the individuals present.  The spirit/unconsious of each participant soon dances into a sympatico vibration with the others present, and this process sets off a life-altering transformation that has the power to heal and enliven your soul’s journey to enlightenment with heightened awareness.  A worthwhile and ambitious pursuit.

I had been studying the works on dreams by Jung, Noble, Hall, Taylor along with many others from 1985 - 1991 and had completed an M.A. at Laurier in Religion & Culture with a focus on the writings of Jung.  One spring morning I was jolted awake but a voice interjected into my consciousness before I could open my eyes.  It was a woman’s voice saying directly, “teach people about dreams”. Whoever that was had very likely been with me for some time prior.  At 9 AM that morning I called the continuing education department at Camosun College and offered to faciltate a dream group.  They promptly embraced the offer and within three months of the awakening I was teaching a small, eclectic group how to understand and work with their dream material.

I spent most of 1998 writing a dream dictionary that I thought the genre was sadly missing.  A dream translation book that would direct the dreamer/interpeter home to their own insight regarding their dream symbol.  There are symbols that constellate collective associations but in more abundance in our dreams are symbols to which we have a personal and significant association.  These symbols will typically make appearances throughout the course of our dreaming life.

When the hard copy Dream Dictionary  was printed in October 1999 only twenty copies were given to students and I shelved the project for the next 10 years.  Until June of this year when the seeds to launch it on the internet were planted. With my web master’s prompting and support we spent four months building the site.

The other aspect of this online dream dictionary which is equally exciting is that it also features my life partner’s, Erich Rock, art work.  Erich has been a keen supporter of my work for twenty years and it’s exciting for us to put our respective gifts together in this dream site.  Many of you have seen his creations around my home and office if you’ve been to see me in person.  I’m heartened now that others will have an opportunity to appreciate his artistic expressions.  Erich’s work is archetypal, and thereby psyche-penetrating complementing and highlighting the force of nature to which dreams also manifest.  To view Erich’s whole collection click here

Quote:

“According to Tantric teachings, it is by learning to prolong this “intermediate state” and to operate with full awareness within it that you achieve dream mastery and, beyond this, the highest level of consciousness attainable for an embodied human. The Spandakarika of Vasagupta, which dates from teh tenth century, recommends the use of breathing exercises to focus and maintain awareness as you move from waking into the twilight state The dreamer is urged to place himself “at the junction between inhaled and exhaled breaths, at the very point where she enters into contract with energy in the pure state.” This is the entry into conscious dreaming, whose gifts (according to the Tantric text) could be immense:  ”The Lord of necessity grants him during dreams the ends he pursues, providing that he is profoundly contemplative and places himself at the junction between waking and sleeping.”  The aim of the practice is to achieve continuity of consciousness through sleeping, waking, and the intermediate state. When this is attained, the practitioner has ascended to the mystical Fourth State- the turiya of the Upanishads.  This is the highly evolved consciousness of a person who has awakened to the reality of the SELF;  it now infuses his awareness at all times.”
