Over the Edge

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Developing your psychic abilities can give you an edge in life, but it can also cause you to feel rather edgy. However, if you want to get your abilities working for you, there is only one way to make it happen - you must push yourself over the edge. You must overcome your fears and be willing to jump into the void, to allow yourself to expect - and love - the unexpected.

Easier said than done, as these clients tell us: (more…)


Love with a Perfect Stranger

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Life offers us countless opportunities for love that we have been too frightened to accept. How do you summon the courage to break your conditioned patterns and let yourself love with reckless abandon?
By Jean-Claude Gerard Koven

When I was 19, there was nothing about love I didn’t know. I was like a religious zealot infused by the Holy Spirit, prepared to battle any force standing in the path of my (hormonal) convictions. The equation was deceptively simple: Love is all there is – and I wanted as much of it as I could get.
 
Then the sixties rolled in on a wave of psychedelic flower power. Volkswagen minivans festooned with multicolored daisies symbolized our new-felt freedom from the tyranny of the “thou-shalt-not” bible thumpers. We made love, not war, eagerly taking advantage of every available opportunity to express our Bacchanalian credo. Those were heady times of excess permissiveness that left millions of us nursing a lingering hangover.
 
We staggered out of the seventies on uncertain legs. America had weathered an extended period of high inflation liberally spiced with low economic growth and intermittent energy shortages. We were humiliated by the Iran hostage crisis and in dire need of a radical makeover. To many of us, Ronald Reagan and the conservative values he championed seemed to be the perfect antidote.
 
Love – at least as my generation knew it – got swept aside by his landslide victory. By the time the charismatic ex-California governor took office, I was deeply ensconced in yuppiedom, living in a large home in Connecticut. Much of my hormonal currency had already been spent and love’s earlier driving imperative downshifted into a more subtle gear. I began feeling uneasy in my own skin. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. I felt like a robot programmed to live someone else’s life.
           
In my 44th year I finally reached my tipping point. I abruptly left my old life and hopped a plane to Australia where I discovered a rather unnerving fact: no matter how far or how fast I traveled, there I was. There was no way out of my conundrum except to allow myself to journey through it. At the time, I had no idea where to find the elusive grail that would finally lend direction to my rudderless existence.

Talking About Time: Apocalypse, New Age, or Mayan Meltdown?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?
Mankind has an instinct for perceiving all of time and history as meaningful.  We have long been occupied with organizing the flow of the past, the present and the future into some grand design; whether an endless, repeating cycle, or a straight line moving forward towards some ultimate destiny and fulfillment.  That’s why so many different peoples, in different cultures throughout history, have devised so many vast and astonishing religious cosmologies, and continue to do so today.

The 2008 Elections - An Astrological Perspective

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

by Phil Reckard

We astrologers could spend way too much time looking at the birth charts of the two candidates to determine who has the best chance of winning but we’d do so at the expense of the larger picture effecting all of us with the transits involved. I’ll leave it alone with Saturn on Obama’s natal Pluto as a signal that he’s moving into his destiny versus McCain living way beyond his second Saturn return, which I see as a problematic detriment.

Of course the ultimate in real-time transits is the first of five exact Saturn/Uranus oppositions, happening precisely on election day. As archetypes that would make even the original Olympians blush, McCain exemplifies Saturn as the cranky old man while Obama personifies Uranus’ overused buzzword of “change.” After two-plus years of the illusion-shattering Saturn/Neptune oppositions with it’s corresponding marginalization of the Religious Right (most of whom aren’t enthusiastic about McCain), Obama’s astrologers have correctly identified the prevailing mood of this November - it’s all about change.

The Relevance of Ritual in Our Lives

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

We tend not to think of the significance of ritual in our modern lives.  For most of us, the daily rituals involve getting to and from work, dealing with the everyday demands of caring for home, families and business. I think the lack of ritual in our lives is the reason why so many question the purpose of it all and wonder why their lives seem to lack real meaning to anyone but themselves. Yet ritual has a way of helping us to focus, to appreciate and value what is good in our lives. (more…)


What are the Akashic Records?

Friday, August 15th, 2008

 I was browsing through your site and reading some answers to members questions. I noticed the the word “Akashic” Records”. This got my attention. Is this records/reading source from Southern India?.. specifically from Tamilnadu State?. The word is more of “Sanskrit” or even my own mother tongue Telugu or even in Hindi as they all are branch from Sanskrit.

Hello, I”m so glad you asked that question because although I know “what” they are I never questioned the meaning of the actual word. Your question brought me knowledge too. Here is what I found and yes the word does appear toto have arrived from the Sanskrit word “akasha”.  G*d bless the computer for the knowledge it brings us. Sharon

The akashic records (akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning “sky“, “space” or “aether“) is a term used in theosophy to describe a compendium of mystical knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These records are described to contain all knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos. They are metaphorically described as a library and other analogues commonly found in discourse on the subject include a ‘universal computer’ and the ‘Mind of God’. Descriptions of the records assert that they are constantly updated and that they can be accessed through astral projection. The concept originated in the theosophical movements of the 19th Century, and remains prevalent in New Age discourse.

Clearing a Dark Spell

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I went 2 a psychic who told me a man paid 2 have black magic done 2 me so I would b sad and mad all the time, now I’m facing prison time! How can I remove this black magic and I feel as if what’s happening 2 me is not meant 2 for me. Am I goin to do time? Please help! Evan

I have a very good remedy for you to get rid of the spell, if indeed there was one placed on you.  You obviously have yourself in a mess and need to clean and clear your aura.  This costs only the price of Epsom salts, sea salt, baking soda and a sage bundle for smudging your home and yourself.

Children and the Spirit World

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Stories like Jill’s are becoming increasingly common.  Perhaps we are more open to them, perhaps it is the world of the Internet that allows so many folks to share their stories… and perhaps there is something going on… perhaps we have a new generation of children with us….

My 21 year old son past away last year when my grandaughter was only 1 year old.  His niece was his pride and joy.  Last week we were sitting on the back porch and my grandaughter was playing when she stopped, looked at her Uncle Jimmer’s Weber Grill and said ”That’s Jimmer’s”.  Shocked, I told her a story about how he would cook dinner on the grill even though he only cooked on it once since he bought it only 3 days prior to his death.

Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?

Friday, August 15th, 2008

by PMH Atwater, L.H.D.

Audiences interrupt my talks with vigorous applause when I suggest that using labels like “Indigo” to categorize today’s children causes more harm than good. And this happens almost everywhere I travel. Because the applause is getting steadily louder, I feel compelled to speak on this issue.

The new children have been variously described of late as Indigos (because of the supposed color of their auras), Star Kids (because of their purported origination from other worlds), Crystals (because some say they are highly developed), and so forth. None of these claims hold up to the degree that they are made when subjected to objective research, whether via scientific observation or by the study of mystical/esoteric traditions or through a summary of visionary revelations.

A Parent’s Instincts

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Long before I began working as a psychic, I had learned to trust my instincts around my son. Probably because my parents trust their’s… to this day, Mom pays attention when Dad tells her that something is up with one of his children or his grandchildren. Dad usually has a pretty good idea of what he’s feeling - and is most often right on the money.  Parents have a way of just knowing what their children are up to… and when they don’t, it’s because they haven’t been paying attention - or, even worse, don’t want to.
