Occupy 2012

2012-01-01T11:17:00.000-08:00

I "predicted" the Occupy Wall Street movement about 6 weeks before it started -- which at the time no one believed -- and about a week before the lights went out, I said goodnight, Irene, it is about to go underground -- which, as usual, few believed, either

although now, thankfully, there are lots and lots of people who would believe pretty much anything I said . . . but those are only the people who have "followed me" over the years . . . anyway -- here is my prediction for the "next wave"

soon there will be a MASS movement, led by artists, that will change the world. A revolution of consciousness . . . about to begin, with no downtown campgrounds, no centralized location, but a strong pervasive movement nonetheless. It will CHANGE the world :)

The Reincarnation of . . .

2012-01-01T00:55:00.001-08:00

Sometimes, in VERY rare cases, I will see a "trail of past lives", sort of like a trick with multiple images in a mirror, trailing behind an individual. It is truly rare, but if I see it, it is ONLY because this person has some element of genius (or, conversely, ignobility) that has accumulated over many, many lifetimes.

I had never heard of this young woman until about an hour ago but when I looked at her, I saw this "karmic trail" but -- even more than that, I saw a specific lifetime "pop up" to me. This has happened to me perhaps 20-25 times, if that, but it happened when I saw this young woman.

You are in for the rarest of karmic rarities . . . something I have, literally, never seen. This woman is, if my take on her is correct -- and I feel very strongly as if it is -- playing a piece that she wrote well over 100 years ago. This young Asian pianist is . . . in my opinion (because I see his face plain as day)

quite literally, the reincarnation of Franz Liszt !!

New Year's Eve

2012-01-01T00:53:00.000-08:00

"Tonight is the future of the past" . . I wanted to do something meaningful and beautiful to set the tone for this magical year we've all been looking towards: 2012.

I chose to spend the minutes leading up to midnight watching this amazing tone poem by the mystical Russian composer Alexandre Scriabin, now just minutes before the clock turns from 2011 to 2012 :)

2012 -- The year of the Outlaw

2012-01-01T00:52:00.001-08:00

A professional psychic, a corporate whistle-blower, a "LIBERAL" and over-all political hellion, with porn-star friends as well as friends of various flavors/races/nationalities and sexual orientations, an actor in B MINUS horror films, a man just cocky enough to write an autobiography and, with a semi-straight face, call it "Karmic Outlaw" --

Someone who says the truth when it is politically inconvenient, who doesn't feel the need to have everyone go along, who can stand apart, if need be -- and will rock all boats, in all seas, in all types of weather . . .

I realize that, to many -- and that number will grow, I am a threat. So be it.

2012 will be the year for outlaws and rebels of all types to find their voice and make a better world. Throw the cookie cutter away. It is time to rock out. 2012 is in 2 days. Get ready.

The "eccentrics", the innovators, wild-child God-thirsty creatures howling at the moon. THIS is gonna be YOUR year :)

The "powers that be" have created a climate of thought that suggests that ONLY nice conservative workaholics have a chance, that only by turning a blind eye to the rape of the environment or the pervasive racism that runs rampant can one succeed.

Questioning any aspect of the one size discriminates all, off the shelf, robo-mind disqualifies you from sharing in the bounty of the universe. This is the message repeated over and over and over again.

Be different and risk being banished from the kingdom.

The only way -- and in my opinion it IS the only way -- to change the world is to flip this mind-set on its head. Outlaws who succeed in business, minorities who prosper and thrive. Beat the old guard at their own game. THAT is what will happen in 2012.

There is more than one way to win. Find that way and the world will change. Occupy Business not to change it, 'cause it won't change, but to beat it on its "home turf". It can be done. Truly it can.

While we chased phantom boogie men in the Middle East, slowly, systematically, but surely the United States was eaten from within -- our financial resources stolen, our military wasted, local law enforcement turned in to armed militia, education and health care subverted, even the Gulf spill and other ecological "accidents" all, from one vantage point, easily seen as pure military assaults upon the long-term well-being of the United States.

A dark time -- an easy time to point fingers.

Is it possible, really possible, that special interests see the "average American" as a threat?? I have warned of this day for the past 8 years . . . is it so much of a stretch to see, if someone wanted to undermine the power of the United States, that the best possible "assault" on the United States has already happened??

And that it happened not due to a foreign enemy but, instead, as "blowback" from choices made in full view, with the tacit support of a sleeping populace, too consumed with greed to notice the nation was veering madly off course.

I believe we are coming to a really "interesting" fork in the road -- a time when we either embrace spirituality, compassion, and sustainability and begin to "heal" . . . or continue down our current path. That path leads to a poisoned future, one we're not going to enjoy.

I have talked quite a bit over the past 12 - 18 months about this "fork in the road" time . . . in 2007 it was easy to predict what would happen. For most, evidently their need to deny reality superceded their ability to see the future, but if you allowed yourself to step away from the rhetoric and self-congratulatory hype, honestly it was easy to see how "inevitable" it all was.

Now it is not so easy . . . there is a balance in the numbers but a distinct difference in where people are and how they operate. A polarized world. One which teeter-totters on a slippery and dangerous slope.

If you see your brothers and sisters as family -- and I am referring here to the human family . . . then you are making a start towards healing and wholeness. If you see trees and bees and all creatures as interdependent pieces in a world made through love by a ceative spirit -- one much bigger and smarter than we are -- then you are on the path towards integration.

If, on the other hand, you feel man has an "obligation" to make the world "better" than it was before and the earth is nothing more that a giant walmart of stuff to extract at the cheapest price, with little thought as to what grows back, then 2012, for you, is likely to be a bit of a bummer. If you fall in to this "camp", then the Hollywood version of 2012 is, in point of fact, likely to materialize in your world.

As you see, so you walk.

Compassion rocks -- greed . . . well that is passe. Time to get with the reality and see the true nature of life -- that nature is best seen in the integration of spirit and matter, not the split.

The integration of love and respect for others with that same love and respect for yourself.

For those who choose to walk that path, 2012 will be a mirror that shines brightly. It will lead to alignement with other loving souls, a banquet of possibilities. The tipping point has already tipped. Love is what will save us -- greed is what will kill us.

2012 will give back -- on a spiritual level -- what it receives from you, deep within your heart. You cannot fake your way through 2012. Those who are true will find truth. Those who walk in lies and darkness, they will find lies and darkness reflected back to them.

I believe in a creative spirit. It is loving and all-knowing. I am not naive for thinking this. Embrace the inner "reality" and it will reflect back to you as a saving grace, a life raft in a time of troubles.

The most magical time in history -- but only for those who embrace magic. Believe in God, believe in yourself. A very interesting year . . . 2012 is now less than 10 days away.

Are you ready?

Water Water Everywhere and Not Enough Money, Myrtle, to Pay the Bill

In 1999, I was offered a contract with CSC to help build an outsourcing relationship with a company with whom they had recently secured a $1.1 BILLION outsourcing contract, a company in Houston called . . . Enron.

Over the next year, I helped developed change procedures for their entire IT department, mapped all their internal billing and procurement processes, developed (from scratch) a disaster recovery, contingency matrix (YES, I personally wrote the Disaster Recovery Plan for Enron) and was, for a time, the head of all Customer Satisfaction Initiatives.

The reason I bring this up: back then, in the late '90's (when my past history as a $3.99 a minute psychic poster boy was buried like your BEFORE pictures from 9th grade), I knew that privatization would ultimately cost the average person way more than they ever dreamed and I saw it, at the time, as the first small step towards a totalitarian state -- kind a big leap in thinking when people were simply trying to save a few bucks on their gas bill.

More and more people are going to find that they've managed to skate through the mortgage crisis and the employment crisis and whatever other crisis they may have felt only to find a giant stick up their ass by skyrocketing utility costs.

THIS is the next ploy to fuck Joe and Sally Average . . . so, expect water bills to be the next way in which the rich try to steal your homes.

The WAR Against the Individual

A few years back, Aquaman OceanDefender and I warned that countries would begin a strong push towards privatizing water and that food and water "control" would become serious issues. Boogie man stuff, but legislation continues to get passed, not only in the United States, that makes it illegal to grow your own food, heal yourself naturally, catch rainwater in a tub, etc etc etc.

There is a new option in the U.S. Army for a specialization in the control of "Civilian Detainees" . . . so the stories of FEMA camps and all the rest, those fears are becoming more and more reality.

These are tactics that we can see played out historically dozens of times, the Soviet Union in the 1930's and Germany in the 1930's being two recent examples.

Yet, even though I said/predicted this day would come and all the screw tightening measures which everyone swore were IMPOSSIBLE have, in actual fact, come to pass almost piece by piece in lock step with my vision from 2002 -- I DO NOT believe it will actually be implemented in the way SOMEONE is intending it to go.

You may wonder how I was able to know in such detail almost all of the steps along the food chain that have taken us from where we were to where we are. Is it only because I am psychic?

That is part of the answer. But I also had a ready-made off the shelf model for what was to come. Germany -- starting in 1933. The same mind set, the same basic tactics . . . so much -- the same.

We are collectively being sold out, the very fabric of our lives being ripped from us. It can go one of two ways. Passive acceptance of whatever comes, hoping you will be on the "right side" and letting the "bad people" get what's coming to them.

Or we can band together and change the course we are on. I believe, truly believe, we will collectively make a better world. I do not think there will be FEMA detention camps full of Muslims and other "undesirables" -- communists, gays, political radicals, mentally challenged etc . . . sound familiar? Change Muslim to Jew and see if it rings a bell.

It's a choice. Do something while there is still time to choose. The numbers are working against the "powers that be" -- they are losing control. THAT is my prediction . . . that the second coming of Germany in 1933 will fail.

The most interesting 6 months in history -- right now.

I just watched this lovely film about the Orthodox Faith -- the link is below . . . it brought some peace, and inspiration, to me, which is what one hopes Art will do.

I struggle with my "Religion" -- wanting so much to find one that encompasses my views and allows me to express my "inner reality", both as a "psychic" and as one who so strongly believes in the truth of past lives, the truth of multi-dimensionality, of a spiritual ether that permeates our lovely planet.

I am a "Christian" -- actually a very devout Christian -- although I have renounced the Christianity I was brought up with. I feel as if the Church has been hi-jacked and turned in to something very much in opposition to what I feel are the "true" teachings of Jesus Christ.

I have considered, more than once, dropping out of the world and joining a monastery. I have joked -- although it is actually kind of true -- that many times I go through periods that are very "monk-like" as I tend to retreat into myself and spend much of my days alone -- then I will go into a very social period, filled with people and action . . . only later to drop back and go into a quieter, more secluded space.

It has been a rhythm I have followed my entire life and even though it may have been disruptive to my "accomplishing things" in the world, it has served beautifully the need to find a quiet still space from which to live.

Each time I have considered being a monk, and I have contemplated this several times over a long period, it is always within the Orthodox Church -- even though I am not a member of the Orthodox Church. This is telling me something -- as it obviously tells you :)

I am watching the movie "Thrive" on youtube -- truly a brilliant movie -- and I am about 30 minutes in to it (in fact 35:30 to be precise) and I am watching this "motor" they're talking about and it seemed "familiar" to me and then I realized -- it looked almost exactly like something I had seen in my head . . . in fact, 3 weeks ago (and I had to scroll A LOT to find it) I made this post on FaceBook --

Here is a prediction: In the "future" vehicles -- because I am not convinced they will be cars, exactly -- will run on some type of spinning magnetic motor. They use magnets in something that kind of looks like a cross between a thick gyroscope and the face mask on a football helmet . . . anyway, just like skinny TV's that hang on the wall and look like mirrors and cameras that you plug in to the computer to manipulate the image (two visions from 15-20 years ago) . . .

this is what I "see" (November 2 at 2:25 pm)

think magnets and music and you will find the answer :)

people think of energy in terms of explosiveness -- bombs, internal combustion engines . . . but it is really a combination of harmonic resonance and magnetic attraction. Music is a short hand tool to figure out the patterning

My Session with Sanaya Roman -- November, 1979

2011-11-23T14:58:00.002-08:00

I don't talk a lot about my "apprenticeship" as a psychic. For one thing, the stories are almost tooooo bizarre to be believable and, in spite of all I've said over the years, there is a strong component of my personality that gravitates towards fairly rigorous logic and analysis . . . and a fairly conservative bent towards my position in the "public eye" -- which of course I have repeatedly shattered but such is the basis of one's psychology :)

In April, 1979, I went to San Francisco, in theory to work / slash / train as an actor / slash / model but my actual career lasted probably about 8 minutes and even the few times when I talked my way in to something, I always (and who knows why) blew them off -- or simply forgot to show up.

As an aside, I find it incredibly ironic that in 1979 I went to California to be an actor and ended up as a psychic and in 2009 I went back to California to work as a psychic and ended up working as an actor :)

Anyway, to speed ahead a bit, I took a class on Past Life Regressions in July, 1979 and met a woman at the class named Adella Pickering, who taught classes on past life regression and was sitting in on this class, since our instructor had previously taken a class with her. I "volunteered" to be the guinea pig and did a regression in front of the entire class -- I had never done, nor seen, nor even imagined, anything like this ever before -- and in my regression I was a King, in Germany, in what I took to be a small kingdom, kind of like the equivalent of being the King of Butler County.

I am pretty fluent in European History now, but in 1979 not so much but there was a woman in the class from Austria who confirmed the historical accuracy of what I was describing (in the 18th Century there were dozens of small kingdoms scattered throughout what was then The Holy Roman Empire) and she suggested it sounded a lot like Southern Germany . . . earlier, I had visited a psychic (one who specialized in "past lives") at a giant psychic fair at the old Cow Palace in San Francisco who, after meeting me, literally, just shook his head and told me "you've got a tough one."

Not what you typically look forward to hearing when you visit a psychic :)

I initially asked him: "I have this weird thing about Victorian houses. The furniture, the buildings, I have dreams about them -- they seem 'significant' to me, somehow. Is it possible I had a lifetime where I lived in one of these houses?"

He said to me "In your Victorian era life, you were a woman. And your husband tried hard to please you, but you gave him a bit of a hard time." I remember him talking about a "sexual" something but honestly I was in kind of a daze and don't really remember.

Then he said this:

"You've been a King, many times. And that is why this life will be hard for you. But you've already been a King; it is not for you to do that this time around." For those who know me, or think of me as the Psychic Diva, you may be thinking I asked him to tell me this hahahahaa . . . but when I was 24 it was the LAST thing I would have ever thought of and if I wanted a possible past life scenario, it would have been this: "you led a very nice comfortable life and lived in a nice big comfortable house and starting this time next week you will once again be doing the exact same thing."

But that is not what he said.

I was kind of in that awe-struck what the fuck did you just say kind of space and asked him how he did this ?? He said "well, you can do it, too" -- and I assured him there was no way in the world I could do what he was doing . . . but he insisted -- and then his wife started talking to me once I left and said the same thing "oh you'll be doing what we do."

Fast forward again -- I am condensing this so as not to take a week to complete it -- after the first class, partly due to my new found status in our band of merry souls as a reincarnated King, and probably more due to my then current state as a fairly good-looking 24 year-old guy, I started talking to Adella and got her phone number and was invited to her birthday party in Marin County.

It was there, in the kitchen, that I met a woman who I didn't pay too much attention to -- since I was focusing more on this incredible dark-haired exotic recently divorced beauty from Malibu (what we would later refer to as a MILF) who "flew up for the party" and who told me that if I came down to see her she would let me drive her Rolls Royce . . . anyway, for some reason SHE seemed to capture my attention and the woman in the kitchen -- she said her name was "Sandy Roman" -- did not register with me in quite the same way . . .

But there was someone at the party I did want to meet. She was a specialist in past lives and had recently written two fairly well-received books on the subject, Reliving Past Lives and Life Before Life. Her name was Dr. Helen Wambach and she was a good friend of Adella's. The big topic on everyone's lips that day was not past lives though -- although my reincarnation experience as a German King was already well known before I arrived -- but instead something I'd never heard of before called EST, with a dude named Werner Erhard. A lot of the people there were big in to EST and tried to convince me I needed to go . . . but I was poor boy hanging out with millionaires and so our world, and experiences, were gonna be different.

For any of you who may be familiar with the old book, and movie, "The Serial" -- you will have a fairly good idea of how my afternoon went . . . anyway fast forward once again.

My "psychic abilities", latent for 24 years, were now EXPLODING . . . and I talked to Adella a couple of times and she promised to hook me up with this person and that person and somebody else -- but she finally said "I will get you in with Sandy. She's the most amazing psychic I've ever seen. She knows all about you and has offered to help you."

**************

So, that is the high-level, super-abridged history of how I ended up in Sanaya Roman's Oakland home one Saturday afternoon in the Fall of 1979.

There are psychics and there are good psychics and there are REALLY good psychics -- and then there is Sanaya Roman. I think I'm "pretty good" but nobody's like her . . .

So much happened that day. I was there for a long time; I'm not sure exactly how long -- probably 2 or 3 hours, maybe more -- and I wasn't there for a psychic reading; although that was part of what happened. The reason I was there was to try and harness this VERY tele-kinetic power, a highly electrical power, that was literally ooozing out of my pores. In 1979 and early 1980 when I looked at something . . . it MOVED. Never did it before and have never been able to do it since. However, for about 4 or 5 months I was literally able to move things, telekinetically -- which is fine when you want to . . . confusing, but fine.

It is not so fine when THEY move, whether you want them to or not. Such was the case with the young neophyte on her doorstep -- a prodigy coming to the Master for guidance. I was, literally, on fire and I needed help to control it. Enter one Sandy Roman.

Fast forward once again . . . I did quite a few different exercises with Sanaya. It was she who taught me how to use my "third eye" by pushing light out of my forehead and many of the exercises I use in my classes today, I learned that afternoon with her. I am not going to talk too much about that but instead want to talk about what I "saw" that afternoon when I was "under".

**************

I have never publicly talked about any of the things I am about to reveal. Partly because they are a little "out there" and partly because this was a magical event in a magical space and it has held a certain sacred spot in my universe. However, I feel as if, today, it is the day to talk about it.

A couple of things: in my session, I connected to what might be referred to as discarnate entities or something akin to an out of body hello here is your higher self looking back at ya . . . I was given many pictures of the future and especially my place in the future at some soon to be arrived at destination still light years ahead . . .

I was told for the first time that I was reincarnated Confederate Army officer from the American Civil War and another theme that was new to me came up, as well -- one that has been a constant ever since -- a VERY strong past life connection to Eastern Europe.

I was also told there were "lines across the earth" and when the lines "criss-crossed, there it is a sacred space" . . . at this point I had never heard of "ley lines" or anything even remotely close to this -- so this bit of information was new, and fairly significant in that it did not correspond to anything I'd ever heard of, yet I was later able to verify the possibility of what it might be.

There were a lot of things that happened that day -- and I am not going to go in to all of them but . . . there are two things I want to talk about that came up in this session.

One: the idea that matter was changeable. Sanaya went in to the session with me and was seeing what I was seeing. She talked about a time when I was a high priest in a civilization that used mind control and what we would call magick long before recorded history. She said that I was one of the MOST advanced practitioners and that ultimately I would re-discover the secrets of how matter was transformed.

What I saw was this: you took a fluid that you found in a fish, you put it in a tube and then you used it, sort of like a "magic wand", to literally "transform" matter. The tube was a flourescent green and it was kind of like the glow sticks you see at clubs when everyone is E'd out . . . I also saw myself flying but the way I did that was like a corkscrew . . . very tight turns that allowed me to levitate. Is this true?

Is it madness?

I honestly don't know. But it is what I saw -- and it is what SHE saw.

I was "told" this civilization was called "The Luodovicians" . . . I have never been able to confirm anything about an ancient civilization with this name but incredibly the theory of a magic fluid found in a fish I did find in the work of Carl Jung . . . it is called a remora, or "sucker fish".

http://www.stephenlinsteadtstudio.com/articles/oxyrhynchus.html

Second concept (and this is probably enough for today): I was given a very clear picture of the earth's magnetic field "shifting" and the lines criss-crossing the earth coming more and more in to play in the days ahead. I believe the time is coming when this magnetic "shift" will soon occur. I think it will have an impact on the climate of the earth and I believe that day is not far off . . .

The transformation of matter, an alchemical shift from base metal into psychological gold. The most magical time ever . . . on our door step. For those willing to fly . . . wings will . . . soon . . . appear.

My thoughts about the Scandal at Penn State

2011-11-23T14:58:00.001-08:00

I didn't know -- or think -- much about sexual abuse against children until I became a professional psychic. It wasn't something people talked about very much and it had, literally, just never come up in anything in my world up until that time. At the age of 32, I started to work professionally; my career took off like a rocket, too . . I had a huge client base and a morning show radio slot at one of the biggest rock stations in the Midwest within 4 months of even admitting in public I could do this (that probably would never happen to anybody now) . . . anyway, as a result of getting so popular so fast, all of a sudden I had hundreds of people lined up waiting to see me.

And in this big line, many were victims of sexual trauma.

At first, I didn't quite know what to think of it. Dozens of people, literally, were telling me they had no memories of huge blocks of time from their childhood. I had a client who was a psychologist, with a Ph.D., telling me she had no memories, of any kind, before she was 16 !! I truly was baffled . . . I could do the readings but, as a trend, it confused me -- quite a bit. Within 2 years I was, at least in Ohio, a big big deal but, as I have done repeatedly over the years, at the height of my success, I simply vanished. Went in to seclusion, canceled all my appointments, turned off the phone. Poof -- gone.

Fast forward 2 years and a new technology appeared on the scene -- the 900 number. I decided to go to work at the 900 number and little by little perhaps go back to being a psychic. Round Two, same thing as Round One. Within a few months I had a national TV spot as a spokesperson for "Kebrina's Psychic Answer", a newspaper column and fairs and shows every week somewhere throughout Ohio. And once again -- only this time I was getting calls from all over the world -- more and more AND MORE cases involving invasive sexual acts against children -- gang rapes of 3 year olds, sexual torture of pre-schoolers, murders and abductions for little babies, sometimes 1 or 2 years old. It was too much for me. I couldn't do it -- one of the reasons I DO NOT want to do criminal cases anymore -- and so, poof, adios psychic world, never to return . . . and probably would not have returned had I not lost a child myself 14 years later.

I bring this up for two reasons: one, sexual abuse is widespread. It happens all over.

And, two, the effects, on the victims as well as the families of the victims, is profound. Devestation, long-lasting . . . heart breaking.

Penn State covered up this crime because of one reason -- and one reason only. They did not want to tarnish the BRAND PENN STATE . . the throw-back uniforms, the Mr. Rogers coach, clean wholesome family entertainment against rebel schools who weren't so upstanding as the happy folks from Happy Valley.

The administration at Penn State -- no different than the Catholic Church -- did not want their donors to feel squeamish about dropping money in the collection plate. It was a crime, hidden away, because of the huge amounts of money involved. EVERYONE who helped cover this up -- and delay the healing of the poor little boys victimized by this man, not to mention endanger so many others -- deserve their fate.

I stood up once, blew my whistle, and watched my corporate safety net vanish and, trust me, it hurt. But . . . better to sleep at night on somebody's couch with a clear mind than in a million dollar home with a troubled heart.

Both Penn State, and the Catholic Church, have failed us. We need, together, to help take a stand so that, in the future, no one else can do this with impunity and we need to protect, in whatever way we can, the innocence of our children.

I have worked on rape cases and murder cases for children with the parents sitting in the room looking right at me. There is no more pressure in the world than sitting there, trying to say what you see . . .

I wrote this poem almost 20 years ago, inspired by a rape case for a 3 year old girl, gang raped in the basement by a bunch of 14 year old boys :(

The Gold Watch
(or: why I stopped being a psychic)

Two little hands held tight like
a wet prayer. Paint cans whisper
hollow
tunes to her back; a tool bench, hands now idle, just
steps
away to her right
like silent sentinels.
The little red dress. Precious.
Just precious.
Black shiny shoes specked
with red and all is silent once more.

He spreads the photos
out across the dining
room table
Silence like a knife
It is his job
to take
these sprinkles of history and arrange
them, collage-like, into a pattern.
He is an archeologist of the dead.
The supplicants come heart in tooth
arms pasted loosely
to the left side
The mother's voice,
as always, is deep, throaty
like a wounded dog.
He sits
silent for a moment then gets up,
walks over
to grab a box of tissues.

She takes the tissues and blows her nose.
Phantoms on a carpeted walkway whisper to her as she walks.
The pictures will still come
to them both but no matter how they paint
the scene
the little red dress will never come
clean
again

the voice, like a wounded dog, he hears it
even
now

* I wrote this poem originally back in the early '90's shortly after I decided to "retire" as a professional psychic. I made an infomercial for a 1-900 number in 1992 and for about seven or eight months I worked on the phone lines for them and as one of their "featured clairvoyants"--clairvoyants are the Ferrarri's of the psychic world in that they can "see things" as opposed to other types of readers who go on impressons or feelings--I was usually the person who ended up working on any cases involving missing persons or criminal issues such as murder or abuse.

Incredibly, to me, (as I had a baby girl of my own), there were an amazing number of cases that I worked on involving abuse with children--very young children (two, three and four years old). Rape, physical and mental abuse, kidnapping and even murder.

The poem above was written specifically in response to a case I worked on in my private practice for a three year old girl who was raped in her basement, a scene I described in great (and later quite verifiable) detail but it is applicable to all my cases back then involving young children.

Eventually, after doing SO many of these types of readings I felt as if I had to stop. All gifts come with a price . . .

Now that more and more of these cases are, once again, coming my way I remember the first big "psychic go-round" and so I am sharing this poem from those dark days of mine all those many years ago.

Writing this -- even after all these years -- still kills me. Only because I SAW it . . . how much worse to have lived it :(

This can't be covered up. Our children deserve a world in which they can BE children.

Occupy LOVE

2011-11-17T09:10:00.000-08:00

You meet a girl or a boy and the sparks fly. INSTANT connection. All you want to do is spend time together, be in each other's space, share . . . you stick together for a couple of months and then the idea pops in your head that this may be long-term. You start looking at things through a different lens. The initial euphoria gives way to a more calculating, is this really what I want, kind of logic.

Such is also the energy with Occupy Wall Street. The thermostat is heatin' up. The personality is about to . . . change.

Is it my "job" to PREDICT the future or HELP SHAPE the future ?? An interesting question. One, truthfully, I sometimes struggle with. But I will say this . . .

there are sooooooooooooo many beautiful things about the Occupy Movement. But the "aura" is changing -- and, in my opinion, not for the better. There is an "expectation" now that wasn't there before . . . and so it will now exhibit many of the power struggles that happen with the evolution of "a team". LOVE is what matters. Let's hope everyone remembers that.

I didn't have to be Nostradamus to know Occupy Wall Street had, at best, a 60 day window before things got a bit "tense" . . . the beauty so far is that the movement has galvanized a "thought form" and test-driven it on a mass scale. Beautiful . . . but if we read our Sun Tzu, we know this succeeded (in part) because it caught the enemy by surprise.

Well, they're not surprised any longer. The time is now to change tactics. Hopefully, everyone knows how to connect with everyone else -- and I am not talking about Facebook or Twitter . . . now it is time to strike with collective actions that impact the pocket book of corporate America. This HAS to be the next phase . . . if your desire was to open campgrounds in the big cities, then you've failed.

If your desire is to change the world, then change your tactics. Be like water; flow where resistance is weak.

Some ideas: if people know access points, like cafes or places like that, to use as information dissemination points -- and they are planned now, via word of mouth, then you have that already, in case you need it later

do it before you need it, just in case

if people see success only measured by how long they can stay in the park, they will be disappointed

change the tactics while you are in a position of strength -- better to define tactics as opposed to reacting to the tactical strengths of your opponent

secondly, the police are gonna up the ante on moving these central gathering points so have multiple places, planned in advance -- also just in case

change enough gears and the engine goes a different direction; the enemy is NOT a monolithic corporate beast -- the enemy is lack of awareness on the part of the prey . . .

Spain's Stolen Babies

2011-11-14T21:46:00.000-08:00

If Joe Paterno was (quite justifiably) fired from his position as Penn State's football coach, shouldn't the Pope (and anyone else in the Catholic Church who was aware of the terrible crimes committed against children), for the exact same reason, see the same fate.

It wasn't all fun times taking a moral stand. I missed my half million dollar houses and new cars and Italian shoes and all the rest. It was hard. But I can go to my next life knowing I didn't put my own convenience and comfort ahead of my sense of morality.

A conspiracy, executed by the Spanish gov't in conjunction with doctors and the Catholic Church, to traffic newborns from "undesirables" and give them to families more "ideologically" aligned with the conservatives in the country. This went on for 50 years. As someone who personally went through the death of a new born, I can tell you there is nothing that compares with it.

Mothers and fathers were told their child had died. I cannot even imagine, even with my history, what this must be like :( . . . when will see the Catholic Church for what they truly are . . .

I went to bed with this show in my mind and it is the first thing I am thinking of as I awake. This disgusts me -- just as the news of Penn State's cover-up disgusts me. I can't live in a world where this happens. This is too much.

This is worth fighting for -- to make sure this never happens again :(

A Prophecy: Not a Prediction

2011-11-13T16:55:00.001-08:00

I predicted the economic "downturn", I predicted the great floods of 2010, I predicted plasma TV's and digital photography and wireless internet, I predicted record deals and movies deals by the score . . . I also predicted a social revolution in the United States that would start in September, 2011. My "track record" -- for all to see, because I am not shy about saying what I think -- is not 100% of course, but is pretty good.

I bring this up so you will put what I am about to say in a certain "context" . . . NOW YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY !!

Let me repeat that: Now you have the chance, truly, to take the bull by the horns, use love and compassion, and re-direct the course of history. In 2008, I said there WAS NOTHING that would stop the economic tsunami coming our way. People didn't want to hear that but from my vantage point it was true.

THIS IS ALSO TRUE: NOW, it IS possible. It is possible to CHANGE the way of the world and make the world a better place. The energy moving that direction is strong; keep it going and the world will, poof, be filled with love. AND THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL . . . it's possible, truly possible . . .

now :)

And, so, it is written

Where, exactly, do you find the logical interpretation that it is all good to just march into a foreign country (your neighbor) and kill them as an act of War in order to justify stealing their resources ??? Oh Christian boys, can you tell me ?? PLEASE ?? Help me get inside your brain so I can understand -- when it seems soooooooo obvious to me that this is exactly OPPOSITE what Jesus said.

Either we've got the wrong Jesus or you are privy to some secret guide book I'm not aware of -- because the road map you keeping pointing me to says something a whole lot DIFFERENT to me than the way YOU seem to take it. Ya know ?????

16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ~ Matthew 19:16-19

Straight to the Source

2011-11-11T07:15:00.000-08:00

My mother came over last night and started reminiscing about all the wonderful things she'd done for me as a child and I just said "hey, let me tell you MY version of history" and I did . . . for a long time, a really long time, I have sort of driven around in neutral because my parent's expectations for me could only really be met by slamming myself in to reverse -- and much as being a crane operator or working in a paper mill may have seemed the pinnacle of achievement to the rest of the family, it just didn't have that same charm, somehow, to me.

Anyway, to cut to the moral of my story, over the years I have had many a golden goose miraculously land at my feet. In every instance, I have found a way to either (a) kill it or (b) piss it off enough to for it leave on its own. A pattern -- a learned pattern . . . and one, you might imagine, not particularly useful.

But in the conversation with my mother I felt, somehow, as if the light bulb went off and she really understood, I mean REALLY understood, what my childhood was like. I could continue to be angry but I had tried that -- for about 45 years -- and it also didn't seem particularly helpful, or useful. Understandable, yes. But helpful? Not so much.

One of the ways in which my family dysfunction manifested -- and there are several -- was, as you might imagine, in relationships. It had actually been pointed out to me several times, even sometimes in the relationship I was in, that I needed somehow to "rebel" and, after thinking about it for a while, I eventually realized there may have been some truth to that. It did seem as if there was a pattern: I attracted some beautiful woman (because my mother, although not exactly Einstein, objectively is a very attractive woman, even at 85) and then found a way to "escape", so as not to be "smothered" a la Jacqueline Brewer.

Not a particularly useful or helpful way to operate.

In my current relationship, with Alicia, once again (unconsciously) the self-destruct Houdini in a box boyfriend approach started to surface after I first went to Canada but rather than go down the co-dependent fiery adrenalin thrill ride I usually hopped on with me, she simply refused to play . . .

Grow up or go home.

This was sort of an unexpected turn of events.

Perhaps Alicia wasn't really clued in to just how "fabulous" I really am. I was confused, and annoyed, too so I was really not too happy with how things were coming down. I loved Alicia but she just wasn't reading the "script" properly. But the truth was she was simply smarter and more evolved than I was, but I didn't see that at the time and my usual "tricks" from the "stud bag" that had worked "so well" before (and really the only one getting fooled here was me) simply did . . not . . work.

It was quite possible that the "value" of those tricks had expired long ago anyway and what worked at 26 or 36 simply doesn't come across the same way at 56 . . . Of course, had they "worked", the relationship would have likely been a fiery roller coaster ride with a crash landing and, thankfully, that is not the way it's worked out.

Alicia, as she has in so many ways, helped me -- in spite of myself and I figured out pretty quickly what was really going on. Thank you :)

Fast forward to today:

This evening I went to the gym to lift weights. It seemed, for some reason, as if I was particularly strong and I was really getting in to it. I had been there a little over on hour when I looked down at my right arm and noticed it was parallel with my leg, i.e. it was straight. For many this would not be a particular surprise nor reason to write some big long confessional about my issues with my mother but, for me, it was something akin to an earth-shattering revelation.

Because the last time my right arm had been perfectly straight was August 25, 1985. Twenty-six (26) years, two months, and sixteen (16) days -- kind of a long time.

On that day, a day that other than the death of my daughter I look upon as THE tragedy of my life, I broke my wrist and shattered the radial head of my right elbow. A cast for 13 weeks. All my pretty muscles . . . vanished. My athletic career, such as it was, essentially over. And the ability to stretch my arm to its full length . . . gone.

Seemingly . . . forever.

It was also the beginning of what would soon take on an ever greater role in my life as time went on: my distrust of doctors, soon to turn to hatred and feelings of victimization . . . but up until this day, my thoughts about doctors and, really, life in general was fairly optimistic. The elbow didn't heal properly and the doctor-patient "trust" thing, as a result, went adios.

Alicia does this magical thing called Jin Shin Do -- a form of body/mind medicine, it is actually a form of accupressure, where points in the body are activated through touch and "stuck energy" is released. I am not really doing Jin Shin Do full justice, but in essence one of the beautiful things with Jin Shin Do, at least for me, is that it helps eliminate physical pain through releasing the memories that carry the pain and keep it localized within the body.

My shoulder stopped hurting, at least while I was still in Canada, as a result of receiving Jin Shin Do treatments and I am sure the reason my arm finally stretched out to its full natural length this evening is because, just as Alicia's treatments did with my shoulder, my "forgiving my mother" -- and, as a result, forgiving myself, somehow released those memories holding my right arm in such a rigid space.

I let go of the negativity of those emotions and the physical storehouse for part of that pain, my right elbow . . . symbolically kind of a big deal in terms of power and flexiblity . . . decided, as a result, to let go of me.

The mind is a powerful thing.

Emotions are powerful things, as well. I couldn't heal my elbow through any other means but forgiving my mother for "ruining my childhood" did. I released some of that anger and, as a result, the anger released some of me :)

There's a lesson here . . . somewhere.

The end of Catholicism ??

There is a famous prophecy of St. Malachi listing all the popes of the Catholic Church. The current pope -- and truthfully, I can't even look at him. There is something about him that makes me go eeeeeeggggghhhhhh -- is, according to St. Malachi's list, the next to last pope.

Most people have interpreted this to mean that Armageddon will come and the world will come to an end. However, I have stated out loud that I think the next couple of years are likely to not be in the Catholic Church highlight reel of happy times.

So here is MY take on St. Malachi. I believe the Catholic Church is on its last legs. This doesn't mean the world will end; it simply means the Catholic Church's world will end -- at least in the way we see it today. Something better is coming . . this could very well be a more enlightened form of Christianity.

But the hypocrisy of the Catholic leaders is destroying their Church and soon, in my opinion very soon, just as people are taking their money from the too big to fail banks and going to credit unions, I believe their will be a similar move happening very shorty from the too big to care Churches towards smaller more intimate non-denominational churches, preaching a direct connection to God.

Happy Days are on their Way

I am an "emotional psychic" in that I tend to tap in to people's emotions first and then reverse-engineer reasons WHY they feel that way. This is one of the reasons I was able to make predictions about the economy a few years back because I felt this "sad cloud" blowing my way and I tried to break down what was causing it.

Now, of course, the world is in a sorry state, sold down the river by a bunch of arrogant and greedy white boys who didn't plan very well for the rainy day they've unleashed upon the planet . . . but -- even with all of that, the "emotional body" of the earth and the collective energy of the creatures on the earth, going forward, seems happy. There is a smile in the ether, where lately there had been a frown and such anger !!

To me, this can only mean one thing. Soon, more and more people will feel that sense of happiness and optimism. The world is, slowly but surely, getting better.

This is a bold thing to say . . . but just like in 2008 and 2009 when people said to me "think positive" about the economy and I said, "OK. I'm positive !! The economy is gonna crash !! You happy?" -- now I am equally positive that within the next year or so people's perceptions of how things are going will improve. There is a sense of optimism floating out of the cosmic TV tower I tap into. It may not be here, yet . . . but it's coming. Truly it is coming.

I guarantee it.

I wasn't afraid to walk away from a very lucrative career (and I am talking my corporate consulting career) to say what I felt about fairness and justice. Being a "corporate whistle blower" is probably one of the loneliest, most frightening things you could ever do. THAT was tough . . . Later, as a psychic, I wasn't afraid to say that things were going to happen that were perhaps not "ideal" when I was certain that was the way things were headed . . .

There is a price tag for everything. Now we are moving into a space/time "wrinkle" where those of you TRULY willing to embrace your spiritual essence can grow, quickly and beautifully. But growth to many is frightening. Better to stay in my small world than take a chance towards something bigger. I understand that, of course. The mind prison is subtle, but all powerful . . .

Now I am saying "wait, things are going to get better. There is love, magic, beauty -- right at your door step" . . . and I feel, truly feel, this frightens people more than anything I've ever said. Why? It is fascinating, but I think it is true.

The fear of something truly good is more frightening than the fear of something "negative". I have walked on the edge my whole life, I guess you could say -- not because, as some have surmised, that I was self-destructive but instead because I believed I was moving towards something magical -- and that I was never moving alone . . . there were always guides, spirits, angels following me, holding my hand. I believed it then and, of course, I believe it now.

There is a spiritual world as real as the world "you see". Now is a magical time to awaken to that world. It is closer now than ever; spiritual energies are heightened. Love is available -- because their is a greater hunger for love, because so many people have been on love "fasts".

There is a spiritual hunger, as well, because for years and years people have lived on spiritual junk food, empty calories for their soul. Now is the time. NOW is the time.

To fly . . .

TRANCE FOR MAY TIION

Just so we're clear: I don't see the world "ending". The Mayans were lovely people, I am sure, and much more in tune than most of us, but whether you believe their calender "ends" today or December, 2012 -- either way I see the next few years as INCREDIBLY POSITIVE times. I don't believe we will end up in FEMA camps, I don't believe HAARP will destroy the ozone or cause tsunamis for years on end, I don't see anyone being vacuumed up to Heaven with 143,999 of their fellow white Republican friends . . .

I believe we are moving in to a beautiful period. But to appreciate beauty, you have to FIRST have an eye for beauty and to tap in to the spiritual bounty on your doorstep you have to clear the clutter from your mind so you can take that first step towards spiritual liberation.

Your mind is a prison but you, believe it or not, are the jailer. You, personally, have to key to unlock that door . . . and step in to a new world. Stop looking for the end; start finding the beginning.

The most magical time EVER -- but only if you break free of the limitations YOU impose upon yourself. A time of great spiritual treasures, unfolding.

I try, in my limited way, to express the concept of "possibilities" in pretty much everything I write, and everything I do-- what is it possible, really, for any of us "to achieve"? What skills do people really have? And, to me anyway, the most important question: Is there a divine connection to a repository of talents and information that we all, potentially, can tap in to?

I think the next few years is more about that than anything else -- tapping in to that divine reservoir of possibility.

Part of my rationale for publicly saying "X is gonna happen" is to show, in whatever graphic fashion I can, that the ability to truly perceive future events exists. Some people have questioned the legitimacy of me "putting it out there" but there is method to my madness. I am not a psychic -- although that is my "tag line".

My quest is to find the trail that leads to full recognition of the Divine powers we are heir to -- and, with that knowledge, I hope to find ways to "achieve" that seem "beyond" our normal capacity. This is about "finding God" -- not developing my "psychic abilities". That is simply a by-product of the quest. Each step is just part of a bigger piece of theatre, one line following another.

This also ties in with the time we are moving in to -- a time of greater opportunity.

Truthfully, at a high level, I believe everything is pretty much "pre-planned" according to some cosmic blue print and my life, both public and private, has been "timed-out" in order for me to have the greatest impact . . . designed to elicit the largest audience at the proper time. I am patient -- because I see the end-state. A hired gun, with a mission.

I am not a psychic; rather, I am not ONLY a psychic -- I am a Magician.

But then -- SO ARE YOU !!

This morning, talking to my baby sister in Jordan, Lynn Brucker, she asked me "what it all means -- what's coming next?" My answer was this:

TRANCE FOR MAY TIION

So . . . let's break it all down:

TRANCE: being in a state of heightened awareness, an altered state but a state of bliss, ecstasy . . .

FOR: being positive, being in favor of something, putting out an effort to make things happen . . .

MAY: permission to proceed; a permission, by the way, YOU give yourself. God is always there, allowing you to move forward but you have learned not to trust. Your conditioning suggests the universe is dark, forboding -- the arms of opportunity come with a price . . .

TIION -- just like the old adage "there's no I in team", here we have two "I's" -- the I that is you and the I that is God, connected, like cosmic Siamese twins.

TRANCE FOR MAY TIION -- the time for lift off is now. The world is not going to end. For some of us, and this could (and should) be you, as well -- it is just about to truly begin :)

Can you hear it ??

The light peaks through the window: a spiritual essence, faint at first, but getting clearer as the days pass. A time to retreat, store nuts for the Winter, listen listen . . . to the voice within you. Many of you -- MANY of you -- over the next 45 days will feel a sudden urge to expand your sense of religion and spirituality . . . a time of cleansing from now until mid-December. A time to connect to "yourself".

Those who have never been inside a church in 20 years will suddenly feel an urge to go; many of you, cynical and broken by the recent past, will rise up, like a man throwing off his crutches, and seek spiritual nurturance . . . this is time when many of us, me included, will be visited and hear the sweet, soft whisper of God.

Practice allowing your thoughts to form unimpeded, on their own. Practice following the rhythm of your breath, allowing it to move you, rather than follow . . . spend time looking at the earth, at what She says. New eyes bring new things . . .

Read old books of spirituality, read old novels about seekers who were "trying to understand" . . . the 19th Century was filled with them; see if the path they followed holds within it something that seems familiar to you now. The past is always a good place to start when looking to understand the future.

The most magical 6 months in history, right now; but only if you are willing to listen.

The volume has been turned up. Now, more than ever, the station from the Cosmos is there for YOU to plug in to. The voice of God is loud, very loud. Can you hear it ??

I talked with another person recently who thanked me for NOT agreeing with them when I did their reading -- although, at the time, it didn't tax my "psychic powers" too much to know she was not particularly pleased with what I had to tell her. You may think this is an "odd" thing to say -- but it kind of works like this. In this particular case, a woman was having an "affair" with a younger man and a passionate one, it was.

She, as many of us have done in that first sudden bloom of desire, felt that this was her "soul mate" and even though she had a very comfortable marriage to a wealthy and seemingly devoted husband, she was thinking of leaving her marriage so she could be with this other man. Of course, what she wanted to hear was this: YES, you are soul mates, yes all will be well, yes if you leave your husband everything will be smooth sailing and a steamy romance novel future is there for you into eternity.

But that's not what I said.

Rather than give a yes/no answer -- which I am loath to do as it does not address "root cause" and so the likelihood of needing to ask a similar question 6 months down the road is high -- I like to look at the "story behind the story" and, in this particular instance, that story was, in fact, the "other man": who is he, what is he "like", what are his motivations, where do those motivations "come from" . . . what is he likely to do "in the future".

Without gving details, and to make a long story not so long, my analysis of this man's personality -- and the trend line one might expect if that personality assesment were correct -- turned out, four months later, to have been dead on. He did almost exactly what I said he would do and, for those of you who may have been disappointed in love, it was not a particular "surprise" that where in months past she had passionately sung this man's praises, now she was EQUALLY passionate in telling me all of his faults.

This from a woman who, over a period of time, has grown to "trust" my instincts and even though she debated me a bit at the time :) . . . I am sure, now, that she was glad to have waited a bit (as I suggested she do) before leaving her marriage.

Why do I bring this up?

Because I want to talk about economics and my "predictions" from 5 years ago when I said the housing market would "crash" and unemployment would kick in at almost unimaginable levels and persist for an extended period of time.

When I said this, people were "in love" with the idea of constantly getting richer and richer, buying bigger and bigger homes, buying more more more. To come along and say "ugh, 'scuse me -- I don't mean to rain on this lovely parade but . . . "

It was not well received.

But, I want to talk about what paying attention to my "story behind the story" would have meant -- because it addresses an even bigger issue in my world -- is saying something "contrary" to what someone wants to hear being negative -- or is it an attempt to be protective?

In 2006, several of my friends asked my "advice" about buying and selling homes. I suggested, in every case but one (and I will explain why the one was different in a second), that they sell their homes by June, 2007 at the latest and then RENT a home for a year or two, put the money in a 1 or 2 year money-market account, and buy a home sometime late 2008 or early 2009 (so as to avoid any capital gains on their existing homes -- they had two years to buy without negative tax implications and all of them were set to make a "killing" in the short-term) because I said that houses would likely be substantially cheaper by that time.

No one followed this advice and in a couple of cases, even though they had 6 figure cash "wins" in selling their homes, the individuals lost their new homes and became bancrupt. In all these cases, had they taken the path I suggested, they would have bought a comparable home for, in some cases, half of the purchase price in 2007 and saved, in some cases, well over a quarter of a million dollars.

The person I suggested just sell then and buy right away was buying a home in Kansas for, I think, $58,000 with some credit wrinkles in their past so in this case it was to her advantage to seal the deal right then. Housing prices in rural Kansas had never spiked so they were unlikely to crash. Everyone else I spoke with lived in big cities in very desirable housing markets: California, Washington, DC, and Atlanta and each of those markets reflected the boom-bust cycle in very dramatic ways.

But, of course, it wasn't what they wanted to hear. RENT? Don't be ridiculous!! Which is fine; one makes decisions based on a multitude of variables and takes a chance in every case. But, again, what was considered by some as being "negative" was, in fact, just one way of looking at current events mapped against a possible future scenario. No one is right all the time -- but this "prediction" was given in the spirit of trying to be helpful and not a "wet noodle".

Same holds true with pensions. I warned people close to me that all was not right in the Municipal Fund kingdom and I suggested that they take the option of converting any 401K's, IRA's, or company pensions and taking the safest, lowest risk positions they could as I felt the stock market was due for a bit of volatility. Some actually did this (and were glad they did) but again most did not.

The moral of this story: if you are going to consult a psychic or astrologer or numerologist, witch doctor, tea leaf reader or Uncle Bob's ouija board try to do so with an open mind. Not hearing exactly what you want to hear may actually be the "truth".

Just because Christianity has been hi-jacked by right-wing nut jobs who think Jesus's true message was about free trade agreements and the divine rights of white people, don't let the truth and reality of what HE said get lost in the shuffle. Christianity, Jesus, the real "message" from perhaps the greatest "light-worker" we've ever seen, all that is still legit . . . don't throw out something that works, that holds spiritual truths just because others have stolen HIS light to shine upon their own darkness. Christianity is REAL -- the true "test" perhaps may be in realizing that . . . it's funny that I feel I have to hide my Christianity in the psychic world just as I would surely have to "hide" my psychic abilities from "Christians".

But Jesus is legit. I believe that.

All that is happening now: a political revolution, an economic revolution, a revolution in "consciousness" -- they're all sub-sets of a bigger revolution -- the revolution of/within "Christianity".

At the root cause level, we are being influenced by an ideology that is a rejection of traditional Christianity; one that is being replaced by some whackadoodle eugenics-based hybrid . . . and that, boys and girls, is where the fun begins.

The battle is one of "thought" and certain "groups" want to dictate the ground rules for how "to think" -- and they are using Christianity as their "tool" :(

Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. -- Ezekial 22:27

The "banks" (and I use that term more as an ideological position as opposed to a true bricks and mortar location) could have, in early 2010, shifted gears, found a mid-ground, kept what they'd stolen and gone on. They would have gotten most of what they'd wanted and could have mitigated to a large degree what's happening today.

But like the arrogant little dicks they've always proven to be, filled with the assurance that they, and they alone, called the shots, they pushed that envelope expecting to get everything, blissfully ignorant of the well-spring of hatred and rebellion brewing quietly, moving from discomfort to fear to anger.

Obama could have, 12 months in to his term, used his powers of elocution to have sold a watered down plan to save a few of the peasants but no one did this. It's too late now. The power is growing and what would have satisfied the majority 18 months ago won't work any longer. Hang tight. It's about to get "interesting".

Like the Moral Majority of the 80's, whenever these little right-wingers get a sniff of power they pretty much go hog-wild. But if you surround yourself with only those people who agree with you, it is almost understandable (on one level) that you think your position is more popular than it really is.

They wanted everything. They had sooooo much, more than Kings yet -- they needed more. And soon, very soon, they will have much less than they actually started with . . . an interesting time.

Indeed.

August 16th

I have compiled all my posts from August 16th and 17th and collected them here. I think, in restrospect, they are kind of interesting.

*******************

I have said, right out loud, that the next 6 months would be the most "interesting" 6 months in history. I stand by that statement. If there was EVER a time to look for a second coming or some light from the sky, now is the time. The world is about to change -- in an instant . . a time to find God. Ethics, compassion MATTER . . treat others as you would hope they would treat you. A magical time . . . right now.

The "Christ Consciousness" is there for all; it is a feeling, a knowing, that comes from "within" you . . you don't need a church or a collection plate to find it, to walk in its Golden Light . . listen to yourself, really listen . . be kind to others. The most magical 6 months in history is about to begin.

TONIGHT is when the world changes . . . the clock begins to tick. The seals are broken . . . some of you will no doubt think I'm crazy, but others "know", in the secret chambers of their heart, that I am telling the "truth"

The world is about to get better -- believe in yourselves. The changes I see are for the best . . . love matters, feel and be love and you will fly, like a bird in the sky :) . . . I believe things will change towards something beautiful. You will all make it happen. That is my prediction.

Those of us who want to make a better world will soon have the chance to do so -- ethics, love . . . these are STRONG, powerful things. Those who walk in darkness will stumble . . a magical time -- now is, literally, when it begins !!

In the past I have made specific "predictions": the economy is gonna do this, it is gonna flood, etc etc etc . . . yes/no: are they right . . . or are they wrong? Tonight, I speak in riddles. It is up to you (if you choose) to make sense of them for yourselves. There is no ABSOLUTE answer . . it is a feeling and you either "feel it" or you don't. You either love or you don't. This isn't multiple choice; it's an essay question and each of us has to write the script ourselves.

Make the decision, tonight, that you will love yourself -- even if it is only for a few minutes. Self-love changes you and THEN you change the world around you. The revolution, truly, comes from within. The world is governed by people who hate themselves -- don't let their self-loathing break the light that shines within you :) . . you can change the world, once you give in to love. Put the ego aside, find love and everything else will take care of itself.

I was on national TV 20 years ago, had a newspaper column and a gig on the morning show of the biggest rock station in town. I was "The Psychic Adonis" -- a psychic glam boy with groupies and a rep for never being wrong. I knew how to be a "star" but that wasn't what I wanted . . I don't need to make public predictions any more. Maybe I will; maybe I won't . . My "job", though, is to help people "find" their own "light" within. I will speak in riddles because riddles are the only real "truth".

I don't need to "make things happen"; I am a happening already and the world will turn towards me, like the sunflower towards the sun.

The world is different because "free will" is now on sale. In the past I made "predictions" because those events were inevitable. NOW, the training wheels are off, boys and girls. Now you are free, more than ever, to choose . . choose wisely . . because true happiness is within your reach. A magical time -- those who wish to fly will be given wings. I see it . . . and know it. Some of you WILL fly . . higher than you ever dreamed possible :)

And on August 25th, I posted this: I wasn't kidding last week, on the 16th, when I said that the world would start spinning wildly and that things would happen at speeds never seen before . . . the earth is trying to find a balance. This storm is likely to be an unpleasant one; it is time to find your inner compass and follow it. The clock started "ticking" 9 days ago; it will continue to tick louder and louder until you "hear it".

‎I, along with several others, was tagged in a comment this morning by Glenna Erickson Bain that asked this question:
I'm curious: What was one of the most satisfying questions anyone ever asked you?

Here is where I jumped in, with a response to a comment by my friend, Barbara Mackey.

Barbara Mackey:
Their all X rated and Funny...

ME:
Barbara Mackey dear cute blond psychic girl -- hi, I feel as if my etheric body is somehow out of alignment due to a badly constricted root chakra . . . is chakra alignment a service you offer hahahahaa :)

Barbara Mackey:
I think we're the consumate..Bad..girl,boy..

Glenna I know you want serious...sorry..but I'm in one of those moods..xo

Andrew and I are obviously twins separated at birth,,,by...different parents.??

ME:
Dearest Barbara Mackey -- ever since my first month of cable television, I have dreamed of the day when I could call you -- oh beautiful blonde TV GODDESS so in touch with the cosmic mysteries -- my lawfully wedded wife. Please, dearest Barbara Mackey, look, with those pools of loveliness that are your eyes -- into your crystal ball and tell me what date that shall happen, when you and I are one, bound together. Also, my darling one, could you perhaps offer a bit more of your psychic advice as to my future business opportunities. I have no money now to pay you -- as I am saving for our future together -- but once we are married, I will sing your praises to one and all and you will be showered with riches as I am showered by the steamy nights of our love. Oh my darling, please email me your response. My heart is beating faster faster -- oh can such love be true ????

Alicia Kent:
How come Barbara gets the ones who can spell....

Barbara Mackey:
Wow such a smoozher!...Sorry my Venus is in Capricorn..It take us 10 years to figure out if we even "Like" someone...Try that on someone whose Venus is Pisces...

Alicia...ya gotta love um...

ME:
oooohhh dear Miss Alicia Kent. You don't know me -- but I have observed your beauty here on MY FACE for many months. How is it possible such loveliness can exist. I feel a connection to you -- is this karmic, perhaps -- and would love to meet you so that we can explore this powerful connection. I am temporarily in Africa helping starving children as well as developing a vaccine to save the dwindling Giraffe population . . normally I would not reach out to you in this way if I was not already certain that we were soul mates bound together through our lifetime of passionate sexual escapades in Lemuria AND Atlantis, as well as our lifetime under Ramses II when I saved you from certain death and so please wire money to me here, in care of Western Union in Peoria, Illinois. My personal broker will then make all arrangements for my safe passage to Canada and perhaps you and I can work together to make this world a better one for our tall long-necked friends. I wait for your wire (transfer) with bated breath. Signed, Fabio Cosmico-Smyth Jones III

Alicia Kent:
Yay...I got one who can spell...I better get right on wiring that money ♥ But I think it was actually monkeys.....

ME:
oh my darling Alicia Kent -- if it is monkeys you love, then I will devote my attention to finding a way to make their world a better one. Perhaps we can spend time here together in Africa, under the hot sun, our bodies bound tightly one upon the other, our passions as bright as the lovely African horizon . . . your magnificent thighs remind me so much of the tigers and leopards who move so majestically . . . please, my darling, do not deny yourself this chance to feel our fiery passions erupt. My palace is warm and inviting -- although through a small governmental oversight it is currently in the hands of an evil ruler who refuses to allow me back on to my rightful property without first paying 125,000 Canadian dollars in ransom. I have sadly used most of my vast wealth in paying tariffs on Giraffe vaccine, but isn't the life of one of these noble creatures worth it. My love grows for you with each passing moment. Please send the money now -- I am on fire for you and afraid if I wait much longer I will be nothing but a hot, deeply satisfied pile of ash and cinders. OH OH OH . . . my darling darling Alicka.

Alicia Kent:
What can I say...

ME:
Say??? Why, say you feel the fire burning in you as it does so deeply within me. Oh, dearest rich Canadian woman Alicia Kent, my love for you grows and grows. Dearest one, come hold ME !!!! NOW !!!!!

Alicia Kent:
I see romance novels in your future....

ME:
oh my darling we will make our Romance, our love, one the poets will sing about -- if only I had the words to truly express your loveliness, to give one hint of the flame burning deep within my loins . . . our passion is one for the ages. Oh glorious glorious night of fiery passion . . . oh glorious glorious love. Come, hurry Alicia Kent . . . I need my darling Alicka, here in my matrimonial bed !!!!! I am burning UP with desire !!!!

How the Corporate State and Your Cheating Boyfriend are, in fact, One and the Same

2011-11-11T07:00:00.000-08:00

(Originally Posted October 7, 2011)

First off, let me give this disclaimer: I've worked in corporations and have been a cheating boyfriend, as well (but not like this one) . . . so glass houses and stones and that whole speech. However, I feel as if my metaphor is kind of a rockn good one and so, to make a point, I intend to use it.

It all starts off so well. He's going to make your life better. Your welfare and happiness really matters to him and he would never do anything to harm you. He's totally on the same page with you but then, after awhile, you notice "things".

He doesn't really answer your calls when you need him; only when it's convenient for him. But if he wants something, he's totally in your face, almost demanding that you do what he wants.

Of course, when you call him on it, he's sorry or gives some lame I can't be there all the time speech or, worst case scenario, denies you even have a right to have an issue with him. Then you notice that he spends money on elaborate gifts -- but doesn't tip the waitress or bitches that the candy bar is 65 cents when it was only 59 cents yesterday at Walmart.

How come we don't just get everything at Walmart? If we save 6 cents on every item, over the year we could buy a new Buick. Stuff like that -- he is totally schizophrenic with money.

He's also kind of a snob. He doesn't vibe with that black girl in your office and says "stuff" -- racist stuff; but he makes it out like it's all a joke -- he doesn't really "mean" it. "I mean, hey, what the fuck -- can't you take a JOKE?"

Sometimes, you think he's got the eye out for somebody else. You notice that as soon as one of your friends breaks up, he's all over how he can connect with her. You think he's trying to have a threesome with "everybody" but he denies it, says "it's all you baby. Always always always!!"

He's messy, too. He doesn't care if he leaves garbage on the floor or pees in the pool. He says that it's more convenient for him to just toss stuff wherever he's at -- he promises he'll clean it up later -- and really, it's not like he pees in the pool everyday . . . ok, so it does have a "liitle odor". WTF . . . "does it REALLY fucking matter?"

It gets old, after awhile. He promises to do better and whenever you call him on his shit, he turns it around and makes out that you're being silly or, if that doesn't work, he gets all defensive and just tries to belittle you and wear you down until, finally, you just cave and give in.

This goes on for a couple of years. You want to leave, but he buys groceries and he has a NICE car -- your car is a an 82 Yugo and well, it is not the most RELIABLE transportation but then, one day, you wake up and realize what you've felt all along but couldn't really put in to words.

He's abusing you -- psychologically and verbally, he's abusing you. You worry for awhile -- thinking about what would happen if you had to pay the electric bill yourself or if you needed to get somewhere and the Yugo wouldn't run.

It's frightening. And, of course, he TELLS you over and over that you're NOTHING without him. YOU'RE NOTHING . . . without him.

Finally, though, one day you just reach that point where you say, even if I have to walk and use candles, anything beats this. You're not sure what you want or who you want or even what you're going to do. But YOU KNOW you're not doing this any more. NOT ONE MORE DAY.

THIS is the scenario driving "Occupy Wall Street". They may not have a pretty little list but they know they're being abused and no matter what it may cost, they want to be open to something or somebody BETTER.

Revolujah !!!

It didn't take Nostradamus

2011-11-11T06:58:00.000-08:00

(Originally Posted October 6, 2011)

I didn't have to be Nostradamus a couple of years back when I said the housing market would crash and unemployment would reach "unimaginable levels" and last for years. I didn't have to polish my crystal ball to see that gutting environmental protection agencies would lead to the likelihood of natural disasters such as the Gulf "spill" -- I would hate to have seen what would have happened if they'd dropped the whole bottle -- nor did it tax my prophetic powers to predict that the tax cuts in place in 2004 would eventually lead to problems with funding state and municipal services in 2008.

I also did not have to put too much of a strain on my "psychic brain" to realize that the pain threshold in America is on HIGH and that any little spark of rebelllion would meet with an enthusiastic and ready audience to support it. Yet each of these "predictions" -- based on nothing more than simple logic and a little bit of an eye for detail -- were considered soooooo preposterous at the time that it is only in hindsight that anyone can believe they actually happened.

Trust me, I didn't have to be psychic to figure it out.

But I did have to somehow squeeze my cheeks (and I am talking about the ones on my face) long enough to get them out of my ass so I could actually see what was going on. THAT was a skill that few had -- because "Headinass Syndrome" was epidemic in the United States over the last 10 years and, for many, that sad disease is terminal.

Now is a new day. We have a choice as to which way we wish to proceed. The power structure currently in place -- the same folks who purposely fucked it up so you have something now to protest -- are unlikely to go "oh, shucks, we're sorry. We'll get on it right now."

It's possible. But not likely. I will even break my promise to stop making public predictions and say I feel very confident that won't happen any time too soon.

So -- what to do? First, recognize that this didn't break over the weekend; it can't be fixed over the weekend, either. If you wake up one day and realize your Size 2 dresses somehow don't vibe with your Size 14 hips you can't really expect to drop the weight before your date tomorrow night. Same thing here. If you'd paid attention all along, you'd only be a Size 4 . . . same logic applies to the political landscape.

This is a war and not a game although having fun and making everyone feel a part of "something" can be fun and there is nothing wrong with that. Personally, I think it is a good idea.

This is a participatory Democracy we're aiming for and it is a beautiful thing if everyone gets to play. I am still, very much, in the mix politically. I believe there needs to be a change and I am hoping, really hoping, that a change -- someday soon -- is gonna come.

Let them Eat the Future

(Originally Posted October 1, 2011)

On August 16th, I said the "seals were broken" -- meaning: change was about to happen. Dramatically, quickly, sometimes violently . . . but always with the sweet breath of our Creator at its root.

Initially, I said that change would be our dear Mother Earth shaking and baking and I warned that we should expect an unusual, and dramatic, series of earthquakes and "earth changes". For the next month, that's what happened. I even predicted an earthquake in the Inland Empire of California -- saying it was imminent (it happened 4 days later) and that it would be around 50 miles east of Los Angeles, near Riverside . . it was actually 66 miles east of Los Angeles, near Riverside, CA.

In August, I also said that we should expect a "revolutionary movement" to erupt within the United States in September -- one that would grow quickly and, ultimately, make a difference . . a positive change. Perhaps someday people will realize I know what I'm talking about and that I am, in fact, being given "glimpses" of the future. But -- for some, this is all coincidental.

Coincidence.

This movement, "Occupy Wall Street", is going to grow. This, for many, is completely unexpected but to me it is exactly like how I saw the world back in 2006. I could see something was wrong and, over time, it became more and more obvious that there was a guiding hand behind it all and that, soon, a dark stake would be driven through the heart of the United States economy.

Many were surprised, in large part because they had no imagination. But the last two years have been, slowly -- but surely, pebble by pebble, a collection of fiery straws placed on an overworked camel's back.

This one straw too many day was precipitated by a series of actions and initiatives that were enforced through a govermental policy that was nothing, really, more than a mouthpiece for "corporate" policy. This, too, is a surprse to those who could not/would not "see" -- just as the controlled demolition of their world's was 3-4 years ago.

But . . . people are plugged in to a strong and sudden need to "take back" their lives -- to have some say in the ways in which things are done. There is no more waiting. The peasant's patience has run out -- and so, too, has the carte blanche window of the ideologues who wished to go on their merry way, thinking the "little people" would be happy with a new wii and a few fancy apps for their phones. They were wrong; they are about to find out HOW WRONG they actually were.

Ahhhh. Sometimes surprises are beautiful -- while other times . . .

And so the cosmic wheel TURNS.

October wil be a month of reflection. This month is when you stop, take a deep a breath, and say "what the fuck?"

More and more and MORE of you will feel an intense, unusual "itch" to connect with yourselves in new and dramatic ways . . . the "need" to get right with God, for many, will be strong. VERY strong.

This is a blessing to, and for, you. It is the re-boot to your inner GPS. Embrace it, be thankful for it.

God is whispering to you.

It will not only change your life -- it may save it, as well.

Nostradamus in the Rear View Mirror

2011-11-11T06:55:00.001-08:00

(Originally Posted September 6, 2011)

The thing I am trying to "say" is this. Yes, there is some "stuff" happening and it is, in my opinion, going to cause a little bit of a "disruption" to some of us. HOWEVER, the point I keep trying to make is "no matter what weird shit comes down, short-term, don't worry, because the world is about to have something beautiful and magical" . . .

but, just like in 2007 when I said the economy was gonna go nutty but don't worry it's not the end of the world, sadly to many people that WAS the end of the world and for those who, once again, choose to go into crazyville thinking everything has to be only one certain way and no other -- then I feel for you.

I make these predictions for this reason . . . and this reason only . . . . to show that I can see the disruption (in advance) so that people will have more faith in what I say when I tell them it will pass and once again all will be fine. THAT is what I hope people understand.

There are those disaster-porn addicts though who, as soon as they see a small crack, run with it and try to be Chicken Little and preach the sky surely, this time, will have to fall. I (hopefully) give a broader picture earlier in the game with the hopes that forewarned is forearmed but usually that isn't how people see it.

There are days when I truly truly TRULY get tired of the same old stuff. I didn't enjoy being told not only that I was wrong in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 when I said the economic light at the end of your tunnel was an illusion; I also was told that I was a "bad person" for not saying "positive things".

I didn't enjoy that.

And I won't go through it twice and so I am close, really close, to just shutting up completely.

I believe there is a spiritual energy driving all that we do. I do not think we are random bits of carbon colliding in random ways. Here's the deal: Everyone is Nostradamus in reverse. But the truth is, it is not so easy to talk about it when others can't see it. It is not enough, either, to be able to plug in to what's happening, when there is such a wealth of disinformation blocking your path. The BIG thing is having the balls to say what others are afraid to say because they don't want to go against the "herd".

I'm not like that. Good or bad, I am my own private Idaho. Always have been; always will be.

In hindsight, everything is obvious. What was the big deal in saying what you did --that is what you hear . . . after the fact. But, again, at the time -- it evidently wasn't soooooo obvious or everyone else would have said it, too.

The fish are all bigger after they're gone; we all jump higher, run faster once our days have passed. Same with psychics -- I predicted that, too. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't but it takes a certain "something" to keep saying it out loud, especially when there is a collective "will" hoping you're wrong.

The world is changing. It is up to each of us to make those changes that support a world of beauty and goodness and ecological balance. I believe God smiles on this world. I choose to live according to that belief.

But, if what I say is too much for people, then my "rep" is already secure. I don't need to make "public predictions" any more or else I can focus on Britney Spears and Brangelina or something less threatening.

It is up to all of us to make a better world. This is a test . . . that is my "opinion". I can't hold your hand, just as you can't hold mine. The next 6 months are a time to fly high, or sit while others fly instead. It truly is up to YOU.

The REAL cost of Hurricane Irene

2011-09-02T02:00:00.001-07:00

The real costs of Irene are still TBD -- no one knows, yet, what's broken and what's fixable or if anyone will even pay to fix it. Does the U.S. have the money to re-build roads and bridges or help small business owners re-build? Of course they do -- but I am betting the "budget crisis" will suddenly kick in when questions are raised about helping the people who are sure to be most financially devastated by this: homeowners and small business owners.

However, I bet there are still a roll of quarters in the desk drawer for the banks and defense contractors . . . the Tragedy of Irene hasn't fully kicked in :(

Yet.

But in about 2 weeks, the light bulbs will start going off in people's heads that something is fishy . . . and I don't just mean the dead trouts floating down Main Street. Insurance companies will basically fillibuster everyone filing a claim and the cost model to deal with this crisis is flawed from the get-go, especially since the buzz word of the moment is smaller government . . . which still amazes me, when it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that most of our problems were because businesses were free to "do their thing" without the government oversight they so deplore.

Socialism for the rich; free enterprise for the poor. Gore Vidal said this 40 years ago -- and it is even worse, of course, now.

Irene will show, in ways most people never suspected, how broken at the core the United States truly is . . . we are a banana republic with a fancy history and as the days go by, others will say the same thing.

It would also not surprise me to see Insurance companies come hat in hand asking for money (and getting it) -- yet just stockpiling the money and refusing to honor claims. One more way in which the rich etc etc etc . . .

Irene, whether you realize yet or not, is going to be a really serious ka-wham-oh to most of the States along the Atlantic coast. One of the final straws on an overworked, underfed camel. In my opinion, this part of the United States will never be the same.

Dirt roads, bridges that are no longer passable, water that is unfit to drink or even take a bath in . . . buildings tipping over like some old barn from 1920 . . . it is not a pretty picture. How long to rebuild? And what to rebuild FIRST ??

Trust me -- it seems like a BOLD statement; I realize that -- but it will be more and more obvious by Christmas. The United States, as we currenly know it, is dying and when it become obvious that God is NO LONGER on OUR side . . . then the full weight of our hubris and arrogance will come home to roost.

What will people say then ???

I realize what I am saying is going to piss A LOT of people off . . . so be it. I believe it's the truth.

We can STILL make a better tomorrow. But this hurricane will show, in ways nothing else has, just what's behind Oz's curtain.

The Ritual Sacrifice of Diana ????

2011-08-31T07:45:00.001-07:00

It has been 14 years to the day since Princess Diana's death. An amazing woman, someone people truly loved, is it too much of a stretch to think that the most loved woman in the world, who passed on one day perhaps being the Queen of England, with a huge social conscience, and about to marry a rich Arab (what a slap in the face to the racist white boy elite) -- is it possible that right before the "take-over" of a dark financial cabal, this woman had to be killed, especially in circumstances that, symbolically, drip with a dark symbolic significance ??

Diana and John Kennedy, Jr. had "everything" . . . both were physically beautiful, rich beyond measure, "royalty" with a human face, kind, humble . . . truly two of the most amazing people of the 20th Century. Both were loved, rather than "followed" . . . and both Diana and John were truly conscious of the plight of others. They cared -- and were willing to do something about it.

They were, in the vernacular of the street, "keeping it real" and, as THE two iconic figures of the 90's in terms of looks, sex appeal, wealth, personal charisma -- they were both voices that would command attention. The "Project for the New American Century" was already in the hangar waiting to be green-lighted in order for a small financial elite to begin, literally, taking over the world.

Therefore, Diana and John had to go . . I believe both Diana and John were murdered and the ritual significance of Diana's "place" of death --- the "Pont D'Alma Tunnel" in Paris, a place once used by the Merovingian Kings to perform ritual sacrifices (and you readers of Dan Brown and "The Da Vinci Code" may remember the Merovingian Kings are considered the sangreal -- the 'sacred blood' or 'HOLY GRAIL' -- since they are considered to have been direct descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, who married and moved to what is now modern France in the First Century).

Diana, through the Spencer family, is a direct descendent of the Merovingian dynasty, through Charlemagne and William the Conqueror . . . she is a direct line back to this blood line through Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's sister (and for you "Tudors" fans, the wild child mistress of both Henry VIII and French King Francis I).

I am also a direct descendant of Charlemagne and William the Conqueror through Mary Boleyn so Diana was my distant cousin, as of course Prince William would be, but Kate Middleton is, too -- although Prince Charles is not, (unless Mary Boleyn's daughter was, as some suspect, an illegitimate child of Henry VIII).

Anyway . . . it has been fourteen years since the "Goddess Diana" was ritually sacrificed in the belly of a Parisian tunnel in a place once used by the supposed descendants of Jesus to perform ritual sacrifices . . . Crazy ??

Perhaps -- but there is this much to it. Diana would not have stood by and kept quiet about the mad power grab of the past 10 years and she knew "the dirt" on the British Royal family. Plus, as the true reigning Miss Universe, her marriage to a billionaire Muslim would perhaps have raised an eyebrow or two, especially if Prince William had a Muslim half-brother. Just sayin' . . .

Well, if the internet is to be trusted, at least as far as genealogy, then it appears as if I may be a direct descendant of Mary Boleyn, Anne's sister -- the one they tried to hook up Henry VIII with first-- which would also tie me directly (through her mother, Lady Elizabeth Howard) to King Edward I and William the Conqueror.

So, for you Tudors fans, that would have made Anne Boleyn's scheming father my great-great several times great grandfather. Mary's grandfather, Thomas Howard, was the grandfather of two of Henry VIII's wives (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard) as well as great-grandfather of Queen Elizabeth I.

It also appears as if my family came over with the original "Lord Baltimore" in the early 1600's.

Irene's Legacy

2011-08-29T20:33:00.000-07:00

So, Irene has come, done her thing, and said adios . . . but this is a relationship that people will remember and even though you think you've told little Miss Irene "it's over; we're not dating anymore" she may have other plans.

Here is my, very high level, "prediction" for what comes next.

Flooding -- of course, this is the legacy that Irene leaves behind -- lots and lots of water. In some areas, the water will recede very quickly . . . but where does that water go? So just as some communities see the spill off rush in to the Atlantic, in other places, that water has further to go and like trickle down economics, the water is going to accumulate in some places more than others . . . hence, the "damage" from Irene is, for far too many, still yet to come.

This will de-stabilize certain areas due to a number of factors. Some places are "over built" and the natural run-offs have been modified considerably in order to artificially level the ground, in order to build, build, build. We are talking about an incredibly dense populace here along the Atlantic coast.

People who take a deep breath and think they've dodged the bullet may find a week from now that water damage has ruined their homes . . . and so this is also likely to be something of an emotional roller-coaster for hundreds of thousands of people. I expect the true damage estimates to unfold over a period of weeks rather than days.

Also: The ground itself, through years of pesticides and other practices designed to weaken its resiliency, is not as "absorbent" as it might be and, after heavy rains, at some point the ability for the ground to soak up the water will simply end.

This will lead to a couple of potential problems -- a big one, I would assume, being the likelihood of mud slides or destabilazation of the foundations for existing homes -- especially those in valleys or closer to the coast line as the water makes its way towards the sea.

Creatures -- not only has this massive rainfall and splish splash from the Atlantic tides moved "stuff" around, it has also been "surf's up" for any number of little critters that you would prefer not to find on your living room carpet. But wet soggy places are neon "Vacancy" signs to a large group of bugs that will soon be rooming with people not used to seeing them. This also includes the possiblity of rats as well as larger animals who would normally stay away from the cities who may be forced to relocate in order to find food. Not a fun scenario, but one I expect will happen soon.

Sewage -- not to "rain on your parade" too much -- but the possibility of sewage or septic overflow is very high. This will not only be kinda messy, it could also, worst case scenario, add to the likelihood of airborne diseases. Seeing floating turds rolling down Main Street is not a fun thought -- but it is a distinct possibity in some places.

INSURANCE FRAUD -- and here boys and girls is where the pedal and the road collide. Many of the houses that are damaged will not receive ANY money from their insurance claims -- put residents of New Orleans or the Mississippi coast on speed dial and ask 'em how that feels -- and so the economic implications of this are massive.

Some homes will be destroyed, even though they are probably salvagable. This will be an emotional nightmare for people, especially if their homes are condemned when, to them anyway, they look perfectly fixable.

Some may find that the reasons for THEIR HOME being leveled and some one else's being saved is based on factors other than the actual mechanics of how to fix their problems. I expect vultures to soon sweep in to the East Coast, looking to make a quick buck at the expense of homeowners -- and renters -- whose property has been destroyed.

And what about small business owners who either find their shops are flooded and they can't stay open for business or they have problems with their homes that destroys their liquidity and causes them to go bancrupt -- and all their employees lose their jobs, as a result. A major re-shuffling is about to happen.

Housing shortages -- if many of the homes are no longer tenable, and the jobs are still there -- then what does this likely do to the housing market? It suggests, to me, that short-term housing costs will spike -- dramatically. Also, for commuters to the large cities, like Philadelphia or New York, who live in areas where roads are damaged or impassable, what will that do to them?

Lots of potential problems with transportation and logistics . . . a nightmare soon to unfold.

On top of that, clean up crews, salvage crews, construction crews etc etc etc will soon be moving in to stricken areas, which will only make housing issues even more complex.

FOOD -- having no power is not the best case scenario for keeping food in the fridge . . . long-term power outages will, on some level, add to the likelihood of short-term food shortages (and a spike in food prices) -- which will be a double-whammy to many who will have to pay to replace the food they've lost as well as pay higher prices going forward.

These are just the highlights.

And there is this other, side note: I believe there will be another major storm that hits the East Coast within the next 4-6 weeks. Actually, I expect 2 more major Irene-like storms to hit between now and Halloween so I will go on record as saying there will be at least one more big ka-wham-o to "blow through" between now and October. Probably one in about 2 weeks and then another one a month later . . . but at least one.

This is an economic disaster much more than a physical disaster and even though the destruction was nowhere near what happened with Katrina, the impact may actually be greater before it's all said and done.

The New American WAR . . . against Women :(

2011-08-26T19:31:00.000-07:00

(Originally Posted August 24, 2011)

In the continual drive by right-wing evangelical "corporateers" . . . COR - POR - MOUSE . . . to find a new enemy to focus on, and in the spirit that God believes man should "rule" (provided he is white and goes to the correct church and has the right job) . . . a new enemy has found itself smack dab in the middle of the high-tech radar sights of the white boys who rule America through that self-anointed divine right.

Their latest target: women.

You can see it so many ways: cops who rape women at gun point or who find a way to "slip their dick" in to some poor drunk soul who just happens to be too out of it to say "no" . . . 11 year old girls forcibly gang-banged by older boys who somehow have brought it upon themselves (as obviously a slutty 11 year old surely would). We have gone back culturally into some Stone Age "Land Before Time" Amusement Park where, once again, women bring this on themselves because they have the audacity to dress in a way that somehow incites some poor man to feel the need (and the justification) to fuck her -- because she obviously "wants it" or she wouldn't dress that way.

The idea that women want sex (and the right to choose their partners) is, to some, a thing to be feared. The idea that women have the same abilities as a man to make it in the world is also, to some, another attitude to be feared because those women are self-actualized and not so likely to stay barefoot and pregnant in the castle that (in their minds) the man should rule with an iron glove.

We also see this in the military. The number and violence of rapes and sexual assaults against women in the armed froces is staggering. I have a 20 year old daughter, a truly beautiful young woman, and my main fear for her if she were forced to join the United States Army -- or any other service branch -- is not that she would get killed in action, but rather that she would get raped on the base. This is unbelievable . . . but the numbers of actual incidents is too large to ignore.

We have regressed to a state, when it comes to women owning their bodies, of barbarism. This doesn't even address the regressive measures being enacted in many states regarding abortion and / or birth control. This "war" is real . . . and ongoing . . . and likely to get worse.

It is a truly schizophrenic society we live in. Young girls, sexualized from an early age -- their childhoods, in essence, taken from them . . . a culture that promotes "on air" promiscuity (how many people will, literally, fuck on camera now if they think someone will see them and put them "in the movies" ) all the while chastizing any one who expresses a sense of individuality if that somehow crosses some arbitrary line that two minutes earlier was blown apart.

This attitude, and the cultural insistence on youth and beauty is, to me, an obvious means of not only controlling women but setting up standards whereby rich men -- who might not otherwise be sexually attractive partners -- can vicariously "share" the pleasures of this young "flesh" as well as set up an economic climate in which they can more easily coerce young women to engage in sex with them for some kind of monetary "reward".

I wrote an article during the week leading up to the Super Bowl about the number of under-age prostitutes descending on Dallas -- it was appalling to me that we, in this "richest land of all time" -- find it somehow acceptable to pay to fuck a 12 year-old as part of the Super Bowl "festivities". Disgusting, truly disgusting !!!

It is no wonder people are "confused" -- but that doesn't change this obvious fact. Dressing a certain way is not an invitation by a woman to be attacked; it is an expression of her sense of style.

The old joke from the 80's -- "what's the difference between a slut and a bitch? A slut fucks everybody; a bitch fucks everybody but you" -- is not funny, nor should the frat boy mentality behind it be tolerated in our society.

It is time we stand together to support the rights of women . . . no means "no". Truly it does.

When I look at your and Alicia's charts, I see a tremendous amount of compatibility. She is the Yin to your Yang. Divine Feminine Goddess meets her Knight in Shining Armor. Between your Numerology Charts, seeing the criss crossing of the numbers, each energetically compatible with the other, they speak strongly of soul mate.

I suspect Alicia brings stability to your sometimes unpredictable nature but you teach her to be more adventurous and to think outside of the box. The best relationships help us to grow. Alicia awakens your heart Andrew by her ability to love you from the inside out. When it comes to business, together you both can be a force to be reckoned with, magical almost.

I feel this is one of those kind of relationships where you can mix business with pleasure.
Love it
and you too"

Thank you !!!!!!! Alison is amazing, a beautiful spirit and a true friend . . . she's also the best numerologist in the world . . . plus, she's clairvoyant -- shhh, but don't let her know I told you :)

I can't imagine this "approach" could actually work -- and so, I do feel your frustration and totally agree with where you're coming from. It has been my experience that women respond MUCH better when they feel the man has a "value" which he recognizes himself . . . in which case he would understand that a respect for you is an acknowledgment of a respect, as well, for himself."

Since I came back to the U.S. this week, several people (no lie) have approached me and asked for advice about working out. Since I haven't been inside a gym in 18 months, I found this a little "unusual". I joined the "Y" again yesterday, worked out for an hour and a half and did the same thing again today. Two 90 minute, very hard-core, workouts. After I finished, I got on the scale and it showed that I weighed 183.

183: THAT is impossible. I, literally, thought the scale was broken so I went to another scale: it also said 183. This was crazee . . . I don't even know how to fathom this number. I am 56 years old and have never weighed this much in my life.

Why is this significant? Because this time last year I weighed 158. This means that in the past year somehow I have gained 25 pounds, mainly muscle, 'cause I still wear the same clothes, without lifting -- and in 2 days here my arms and shoulders are, literally, popp'n.

The ONLY difference is a supplement called Isagenix.

Alicia turned me to to this when I was in Canada. She knows all this stuff -- I don't -- and since over the past year I have learned to listen to what she tells me about practically everything, I believed that if she felt this was good, then it was.

I can already see a difference in my arms and shoulders since yesterday (honest to God) and once I start working out again the way I used to -- if my muscle mass increases in a proportional ratio to my weight -- then who knows?

This stuff works. It really does. I don't even know what to say.

25 pounds of muscle in one year, without going to a gym and just doing bands and the old "bullworker" from the '70's for the past 18 months. I am going to "test-drive" this for the next 60 days and see what I can do but, if it continues . . .

Another Psychic Response to Christians -- inspired by Sherrie Dillard

2011-08-26T19:25:00.000-07:00

(Originally Posted August 7, 2011)

I tried to re-post a beautiful article by Sherrie Dillard, "A Psychic Response to Christians", but my long-winded response was 200 characters too long, so . . . voila, another note.

People ask me, as they obviously ask Sherrie or many others, just what exactly is your personal relationship with God and how come you do something The Bible says is sooooo bad? In other words: "ARE YOU IN BED WITH SATAN" ???

Thank you, Dana Carvey, for putting the Church Lady's voice in my head :)

Here is my response:

The "Church" does not like it when you have a direct relationship with God, as they lose their "fee" -- ask a Cathar or any other sect who preached a direct relationship to God, without "benefit of clergy". What happened to them?

There also seem to be a LOT of prophets in The Bible; what exactly are they doing and HOW do the do it? Get my point?

The Christians who preach love and a direct relationship to God and Jesus through contemplation and personal experience, if they do not do this through the sanctioned path of being a monk or nun, run the risk of opening the doors to spirituality directly . . . if this happens, then there isn't a need any longer to have the "experts" explain it all -- and the Church would lose its power . . . and the political body supporting the Church would see its power eroded as well -- as it would no longer have the fear of that "undiscovered country" Hamlet speaks of so eloquently to basically scare people into doing what they "said was best".

Read the parts in The Bible with Red Letters and you'll be fine but Church "Doctrine" is really more about control than spirituality.

Suppose you lived in a small town and the best-looking boy or girl you'd ever seen moved there, and you were the previous best-looking boy or girl around, the temptation to say Bobby or Betty Sue had some dark twisted "thang" might be fairly high, for some people. Not all, of course . . . but some.

If you have power, or "position", you are often times not too keen on seeing someone take it from you.

Bottom line . . . The Church doesn't like competition.

Psychics and shamans are a threat, because they show what's behind Oz's curtain.

The Gilded Age and Third World America

2011-08-26T19:24:00.000-07:00

(Originally Posted August 6, 2011)

The past 10 years have been a contrived little dance to (a) allow the rich to steal from the poor (Robin Hood gone BADD) and (b) make U.S. workers -- who are certainly better, in most cases, than their "off-shored" replacements -- a little less "uppitty" and more willing to work for less.

I have said repeatedly that a controlled demolition of the United States economy (much like the controlled demolition of the Towers and Building 7 on 9/11) was happening right before our very eyes and it was being done, primarily, to drive down labor costs.

Since now many Americans are willing to do pretty much anything to survive, look for businesses to begin hiring American workers in droves in the VERY near future . . . I said last year (and have repeated it ever since) jobs would be more plentiful after August, 2011, and here is the reason why I predict this to be so.

Jobs, in my opinion, will be easier to get, starting within the next 4-5 weeks -- because now American workers are less costly (when you factor in transportation and logistics) than their foreign counterparts. Don't expect wages like the old days, but more people will be working again, very soon.

The "best of the best" in the U.S. will (as I predicted years back) start going to Europe and Asia to work on contracts. THAT is where the money is now. But widespread unemployment in the United States, at least at the levels we've seen for the past 3 years, is about to change for the better.

I WARNED -- early in the game (starting in 2002), that ideologically the "powers that be" would destroy the infrastructure of the United States, gut public services and education, all under the guise of keeping the "government out of our business" . . . it was a push to kill off welfare and all other tax-sponsored programs (other than the military) and would lead to . . . well lead to today.

A mess . . . however, it is not too late to reverse this; but in a year, it will be. Now -- or Never.

People didn't really "enjoy" hearing the truth but then most five year olds don't vibe with not getting their way, either -- so I get it. The United States has grown in to a dysfunctional teen and we have done this to ourselves. Either we take ownership of our dysfunction and put the drugs away or we go further and further down the rabbit hole to Hell.

The next 6 months will be the most "interesting" months of our lifetimes. There will be NOTHING like it you've ever seen. It is TIME to put the blinders away, wake the fuck up and see what is really happening. In a year, you're a slave.

Or you can stop it now.

Let me repeat that: In a year, you're a slave.

I said, years back, that policy decisions were driven towards one very obvious goal; to me, it was all about bringing in a new "Gilded Age" where the rich were REALLY RICH and the poor were . . . well, fuckn poor. My definition for the new class system: "the haves" and "the fucked".

Which, in a nutshell, pretty much sums it up? Does it not?

One of the primary goals of this little "dog and pony show" was to flat out steal the only thing the "average" person has to offer in this lifetime: the fruit of their labor. This was done in two ways: first, through eliminating jobs today, thus driving down rates through the laws of supply and demand, and also more surreptitiously through stealing what people had acquired, by working, over the years -- their pensions and the equity in their homes.

This "heist" was all about driving down labor costs -- nothing more. And when seen in that context, then a lot more of what's happened over the past 5-6 years begins to make sense.

It was easy, for me, to see what was coming. I simply put aside my "Manifest Destiny, GOD is on OUR side BLINDERS" and looked at what was really going on. If this was Portugal or Argentina and all this was happening, what would I expect to happen next?

I will put my track record on "predicting the trends of the United States economy" up against anyone in the world over the past 10 years; that doesn't mean I am right about this, of course . . . who knows. Only time will tell.

But I believe that now is that time for change to happen -- in a flash. Because if it doesn't . . .

I've made many dire predictions regarding the economy over the years -- told that they were "impossible" at the time, in retrospect they were, if anything, too tame. The economy is as fucked as I predicted, and has also stayed in this catatonic dysfunctional stupor as long as I said it would.

I spelled this out in great detail at the time. My predictions -- and my rationale for why it would happen the way it did -- are there for all to see online and in my book "Cognitive Dissonance and the Blowback Economy".

I have said for the past year or so that August, 2011 would be when things changed for the better. Since it is July, 2011, that means (if my prediction is to be correct) SOMETHING has to change -- dramatically, within the next 6 weeks.

Over the past 12 months I have REPEATEDLY said this -- in 2008 and 2009 there was NOTHING anyone could do to stem the rising turdpool floating their way; the boulders were going to land on our heads no matter what we thought, no matter what we did. It was inevitable.

At the time, I was called a pessimist. I was told to "think positive".

My response: "ok, I am POSITIVE the economy is gonna tank".

So -- there.

But now, it is different. It can go either way . . . we can collectively join together, work in a spirit of co-operation and stem the tide of greed and madness that has gripped the planet for too long.

Or we can turn a blind eye and walk towards an Orwellian nightmare. It really can go either way.

However . . . Together, if we choose, we CAN make a better world.

But to do that, we have to recognize that things have to change; people have to change; minds HAVE TO CHANGE.

Soon, there will be murders in the streets; a Bastille Day for the 21st Century . . . riots, revolution, a tiny bit of CHAOS preceding the new world. It is inevitable and it is not something I look forward to seeing. But, in my opinion, it IS inevitable. The world will soon change for the better -- but only after the dark days that are sure to come first.

Corporate greed knows no bounds except those that are forced upon it. The collective "will" of the "people" may soon provide the fulcrum for that resistant force to slow down its insidious growth. A world built upon principles of spirituality and kindness will soon appear. It will.

The days will grow dark; then suddenly light. An unusual predicition but one I stand behind.

The world will soon change -- in an instant.

The most magical year ever -- soon soon on our doorstep. The winds of change . . .

Back in the 80's, I was commissioned by a big church in downtown Columbus, Ohio, to find their "ghost" . . I wandered through the church and at various points, I would say "I don't feel as if I can go any further" and, every time, I was told "oh we added on here".

Eventually, to make a long, actually pretty interesting, story short, I came up with the idea that it was the organist, who was in love with the pastor. Later we learned that She really did exist, and died in (I believe) 1926 -- before all the renovations and additions were added. I also saw, in my mind, in addition to the story line between her and her unrequited love, a song -- and as I looked at the song in my head, I saw that it ended with a "dotted whole note".

I asked if there were file cabinets upstairs and, after being told there were, I walked upstairs, went straight to a file cabinet and, first thing, pulled out a song. It ended with a dotted whole note and the final lyrics were "and I will live in thine house forever". Chills.

Fast forward 23 years. Tonight I wanted a "message" from Tammy Wynette -- who, for whatever reason, "comes to me". Who knows why? Although I guess someone with the moniker "rock n roll psychic" -- a name I got because I spent a lot of time talking with blonde singers in Nashville, that perhaps it is not SO weird.

Anyway, in "answer" to my "query", I heard, in my head, "look for a song I did with George" and after looking up George Jones - Tammy Wynette duets on youtube, this particular song instantly "lit up" to me.

Read the lyrics -- listen to the song and think of it as a possible "message from beyond". It, too, may give you chills.

Here is the song: "Take Me"

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain too rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me

Soul-Mates Embrace

** The story behind the amazing painting created by our magical friend JADE for Alicia and me that is to be included in our first issue of "The Alchemical Heart" **

‘Soul-Mates Embrace’ by JADE Co-created with Solar Angels

INSPIRATION behind the painting ‘Soul-Mates Embrace’

Looking through the photographs of Andrew and Alicia, I paused at one particular image. Engaging my intuitive senses I immediately witnessed a vibrant mass of light expanding between their brow chakras. Above this light I noted their individual and unique Omniversal Flame forming, growing and radiating its magnificent energy. Mesmerised, I intuitively knew this was the image I needed to capture and transform into a co-created painting with the assistance of my angels.

Connecting with my angelic guides I opened myself to the energies of Andrew and Alicia. Transporting them to the painting I began to lay their vibrational soul-keys in the form of colour. This represents their foundation and loving union. The keys include violet, blue, pink, red, green and white.

Each of us posses energy fields (aura) and we interpret these as a set of colours. When we meet our true Soul-Mate or Twin Flame we begin to produce a Trinity Key. They consist of three prominent vibrations of colour that are created through the act of pure love. The Omniversal Flame is formed when both Trinity Keys ignite and spark the Soul-Mate or Twin Flame connection.

Visualising the colours of the united Trinity Keys allows me to interpret the meaning of Andrew and Alicia’s relationship. It gives them guidance for their new found soul journey and reveals what they both bring to their connection.

INTERPRETATION:

Immediately the act of engaging calmness, the ignition of heightened intuition and the relaxation of the mental, plus physical senses bound forth and consume both Andrew and Alicia. The removal of nervousness or anxiety dissipates, as their love transforms and the renewal of all senses begins to evolve. Self control and harmony step forward and become anchors for them to embrace and rely upon. This sparks enthusiasm for new ventures, new opportunities and awakens their inner desires to experience a permanent sense of faith in their love and belief in their future endeavours.

A sense of protection develops into a solid base - love, romance and sensuality are projected into every area of their lives. Creativity and spirituality are sparked, thus clearing past clutter, obstacles and purification is given to make room for fresh beginnings. This is the promise of their unique Omniversal Flame in all of its glory. It is the journey of the ‘Soul-Mates Embrace’.

With the emergence of the Trinity Keys, everything is witnessed and experienced two fold. Feelings become more in depth, plus skills are fully evolved and understood. This makes life become forever peaceful and a new found freedom of expression is established. Andrew and Alicia will fully awaken to their strengths and will inspire many others, as they travel on their path of dual discovery.

The lovers knot on the bottom of the painting represents the two strongest colours that you both produce. They are red and outlined blue. The red brings extreme passion, but the blue is like the ocean and calms emotional responses of the negative kind. So you are left to blossom with all of your passion, love, romance and sensuality, but the sense of anger will be diminished by the cool oceanic blue.

Brightest blessings, in spiritual love and union,

I woke up this morning and read an article on commondreams.org about two men who were sentenced this past week for crimes they'd committed: one was a corporate CEO who had played an instrumental role in an ongoing fraud that ultimately swindled unsespecting home buyers to the tune of 3 BILLION Dollars . . .

The other was a homeless black man who robbed a bank of $100. When the teller offered more, he refused. He just needed $100. The next day, his conscience got the better of him and he turned himself in.

The CEO, living in the plush world of Northern Virginia, was given a 3 year sentence. The other, from a far different geographical stratosphere, Shreveport, Louisiana, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Somehow, this seems to, in a very dramatic and succinct way, sum up what has gone so terribly wrong within the United States :(

Death Letter Blues

2011-08-26T19:15:00.000-07:00

(Originally Posted June 22, 2011)

I am doing more and more work with past lives lately so, by default, I have spent a lot time thinking about death.

It is kind of an interesting subject.

Really, in order to understand life, understand the hows and whys, I think it is kind of important to take a peek behind the curtains of the Great Beyond. As a clairvoyant and "remote vewer", I spend a big part of my day trying to see things in the "future", so why not point the lens towards what happens after we pass?

In fact, I do meditations many times where I slip into such a deep space, sliding away from breathing, shutting the motor down, slowing the pulse, slowing it all . . . down . . . and thus, as a result, I am, quite literally, pushing myself through the walls "between", sort of a re-birthing in reverse.

It is not for the meek or faint-hearted. It is, quite literally, a "trip" but 30 plus years of intense meditation has given me some of the best tools possible for making this journey. In order to "jump" between life and death, I have to push the envelope quite a bit -- it is the only way I have been able to slide into this space where I can, for instance, describe places as a remote viewer while driving home in rush hour traffic on the highway.

My mind has this "picture in a picture" thing that I doubt many people have -- but I do. I bring all this up to give you some idea as to how I have come to believe what I am about to tell you.

I believe, very strongly, that there is a divine essence -- call her God, Goddess, Nature, Pure Energy, Cosmos . . . whatever name rolls off the lips -- that permeates everything. We can see this, in a modest way, in the whacky world of quantum physics but then we are but simple creatures stumbling along in the palace with only a match and a short stick.

I also believe that (somewhere) there is a world that looks like ours, that feels (in some rather remarkable ways) like ours, where our soul essence (a small holographic slice of the totality of the divine essence) stops and "sits for a spell" in that in-between breath between one mortal coil and the next . . . 'cause I believe, too, VERY STRONGLY, that we slip in to a new suit of clothes in the same way, pretty much, that we step in to a new life, wrapping the skin and bones and muscles around us, with that new car smell, off to new adventures, new movies in the mind, that we can replay lounging around the world of the Spirit later on.

That's what it is, ya know . . . a chance to take pictures to play over again in the divine world of the spirit -- a game, but a game with a purpose, a chance to smell and taste and love with all our might, to rev the senses UP, to belly up to the smorgasboard of experience, to sample the beauty of love, of sex, of magical levels of accomplishment, tempered with drastic bungee jumps of the spirit in to states of despair, loss, a wild roller coaster ride but one amusement park passes into another, a century passes, a new life begins, and ends, and begins again.

There is no end -- death is a recall, a chance to trade the old Buick in for a new Lamborghini, or an '82 Yugo -- depending on one's needs and from that standpoint I make my choices, "buys me ticket" . . . knowing, as I do (in the ways in which one can possibly, truly know anything) that I will circle round this way once more and all my past triumphs, all my past failures, are but a day in the life . . . a chance to experience something magical.

Believing that life is magical is a choice, an attitude. It is the attitude I take towards this wild ferris wheel of ups and downs and to the extent that one can ever really enjoy one's time, I try hard to live fully awake, with no fears.

Not that I am totally fearless; of course, that's not true. But, still, many of the things that pass for supreme importance in the day to day tick tock world don't matter to me in quite the same way as, perhaps, they do others. I can walk in to the light of past lifetimes, castles, pretty girls, nights that were magical in some particularly magical way.

I see this not only for myself but for others, too. For example, in this particular lifetime, I know my "car" has some super fancy extras and I don't want to trade it in just yet. My turbo is rockn and I want to ride on down the road a few more miles before I turn off the key for the last time.

But my jolts in to death's realm, languidly rolling in the wild berries of her wisdom, has shown me that there is no fear "there", rather a beautiful respite and soon, from that magical world, the itch will once more need scratched and then my soul will fly through space/time into a new little body and the ride, once more, will magically begin.

I believe that soon, in fact very soon, the laws and regulations surrounding psychics, astrologers, alternative health practitioners, etc. will become a bit like a noose surrounding the necks of those who might rock "established" systems. It would not surprise me to see laws enacted, and actively enforced, to curtail psychics and all who practice some form of "fortune telling" or alternative "healing".

Since I am a fairly well-known psychic, this (of course) concerns me but c'est la vie, one must deal with the ways of the world as they unfold. I have been called many things but, and this is something I take a great deal of pride in, unlike many in this field, I have never really had to deal with being called a "fake".

But all my "street cred" and page upon page of endorsements may not matter all that much in the months ahead. The good, the bad, the in-between -- all will soon find themselves in the same sinking ship. I am throwing this thought out there to my brothers and sisters in the field as I do believe this day is moving slowly, but surely, towards our collective doorsteps.

I took the step just moments ago to add the standard disclaimer "For Entertainment Purposes Only" to my website. My advice to you all is to do the same. I am not sure why this thought jumped in to my head so forcefully but it has. And I have learned to trust my instincts.

I believe our worlds are about to change. We, of course, are not going away -- and with the proper verbiage we can still effectively practice our craft. Normally, our work would be protected under the First Amendment -- as "free speech" . . . but I am not convinced that will continue to be an effective argument going forward.

I think it may soon be a bit of a sticky wicket. Sad, but -- I also believe -- the truth.

The Root of it All

All true power comes from the root chakra; it may display more potently in other ways, but the engine driving the other cars on your train is powered by the balance (or lack thereof) of your first chakra. Without a strong sense of self, a strong healthy sense of sexuality, of physical AND emotional balance, one cannot really tap in to the true beauty of the upper realms.

Like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, without first integrating the power of the first chakra, the other areas of one's life will always, at some level, be less than ideal. To manifest most effectively this evening and walk in the cosmic light of this magical eclipse, do something to awaken and connect to your core being.

Trust your instincts . . listen to the subtle rhythms swimming around you, step into your power as a physical being . . with needs, desires.

Trust the voice(s) you hear. Trust yourself.

I'm not a Medium but I am Extra Large

Every time I do call in shows and someone wants to talk to their grand-mother or their late Uncle Waldo, especially if there is a "real medium" on the show with me (like Allie Cheslick, Pam Nine, Barbara Mackey or a host of others), then I politely walk over to the punch bowl and sit that dance out.

It's not that I can't see old Aunt Petunia, it is just that, for many reasons, I choose not to read from that vantage point. What Allie does is fantastic. I love watching her do her "thang" . . . but, for me, I refuse to go there.

One of my "specialties", if you will, is "past lives" . . . I see a trail of incarnations like the train on a wedding gown, dragging along behind whomever I might choose to read. I can slip in and out at various points along that "karmic continuum" and, for me, it is very real.

Death is also a real thing; for me, perhaps a little "too real" based on the multiple strange and early deaths that have followed me, like a B Movie tape loop, most of my life. It is because of that continual brush with death -- and my own rather unique ways of tapping into a "higher" (or lower) consciousness -- that I have refrained from working as a medium . . . 'cause, trust me, I can do it.

Over the years, I have (whether through repeated traumas to the psyche or some divine gift -- who knows) discovered that I can slip in and out of the space/time "trap" and frolic in other dimensions, other worlds. My work as a remote viewer "confirms", I think, that I am not "totally" delusional . . . (because if I wasn't so accurate at what I "do", then I would be forced to accept the conclusion that I had, indeed, gone "round the bend") . . .

To paraphrase Dali, "the only difference between a madman and me is that I'm not mad" . . .

and so, trust and cynicism . . . they do their own little song and dance together.

I choose to live my life in a fish bowl, a magician who dares the universe to hide the rabbit, and pulls it out of the hat anyway. I am a gambler -- and I have lost, big time, more than once.

But Death, with a capital "D" . . . I know it, taste it, roll on the floor with it. I can go there and actually DO go there, quite a bit. I have chosen (for whatever reason) to live with Death as my little help mate, to use my VIP status in the Palace of Death to sneak behind the cosmic curtain and look up Destiny's Dress.

You can't handle my truth -- but I water it down enough to tell you. Aunt Petunia is a hologram, a scrapbook we can tap in to, but she's already gone, off to other bodies, other worlds. It is because of my belief in the higher realms of the soul, the multiplicity of existence(s), that I choose "not" to be a medium.

Because, for me, the world, my vision of the world, is simply too big.

A Vision

Watched videos of the fatal shooting of a Native American woodcarver just walking down the street by a Seattle policeman. It reminded me of something I wrote four years ago about my "vision" of policemen in the "future" :(

(Originally Posted: September 19, 2007)

Rather than give a high-level picture of my "vision" of the future, I want to first give my "opinions" as to some current issues impacting what I believe is likely to happen going forward. Be forewarned, though, my picture of the future--at least the American future--is not all Mom and Apple Pie and Manifest Destiny. I think things here are going to be just a little bit "stressful".

So, first things first: 9/11.

I think this is the dividing line, the Rorschach for the inner state of America and Americans--did the planes knock down the towers or was there something more sinister at work?

That is THE question and how one answers it says a lot about what they are likely to do and think going forward.

Here is my "likely 9/11 scenario".

1) I believe the towers were brought down by internal explosives. I could MAYBE be persuaded Towers One and Two fell down because of the fires from the planes but there is NO WAY building Seven was anything BUT a controlled demolition.

The Pentagon raises some interesting questions--the main one being: "where is the fucking plane?" We can go on from there, too; why is the lawn still perfectly green, why hide the videos from around the area, how could ANY pilot, much less a hack trained on a prop plane and video games at Chuck E. Cheese's, make those maneuvers in a plane so big, how come the hole doesn't show evidence of the wings hitting the building (hey I watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit") and on and on and ON.

Norad--how come the Air Force didn't intercept these planes? I guarantee you if you get in a plane tomorrow and fly it over the Pentagon you will have company pretty damn fast.

And all the weird comings and goings in the Towers in the weeks leading up to 9/11 PLUS all the insurance money PLUS the fact that the Towers were old and in need of a very EXPENSIVE make-over . . . well, you get the point.

I am a Truther. The official story is ridiculous but hey if you must believe it, you simply must and not much is likely to change your mind.

But . . . even with all the evidence, literal or conjectural, both current and sure to come forth in the future, I don't think any of that matters because I think the powers that be are already firmly in place and nothing any of us can do will change it. Bush is not going to get impeached, no one is going to let the flaming cat out of the bag, the lies and distortions will continue. Period. It is too late to do anything about THAT.

2) The Patriot Act and all subsequent legislation was drafted and ready to roll. All that was needed was a "Pearl Harbor" like event to help do the bait and switch and push it through. I called the bill almost the day I learned of it "The Gestapo Bill" and that, pretty much in a nutshell, is what I think of it.

To enforce the Gestapo Bill one really needs . . . the Gestapo . . . and so I would expect two things to happen more and more in the days ahead. Police Officers will have a distinct military, Special Forces "kick your ass" attitude (and probably the pedigree to support it) and the use of force will kick in like never before.

Intimidation, brutality, arrests for trivial shit--welcome to the U S of A. As more and more thugs and psychotics get jobs (since the standards are likely to change as to who gets hired to be a policeman) then the chances of violence and harassment will go up. Just watch an old movie about Germans attacking Jews or Gypsies or Communists on the streets of Berlin in 1937 and you'll see what I think is going to happen.

And that IS what I think, too.

3) Every time a new "enemy" needs to be subjugated then expect a new, smaller more compact (i.e. less expensive) 9/11 to precede it. This is a very dark time and likely to get much much worse.

As the need to bomb Iran and start a whole new wave of murky Blackwater dealings revs up I think it very likely that an internal "split" begins to appear in both the fabric of American life as well as the internal psyche of many Americans. In a time of madness it is perfectly legitimate to expect many of us to, literally, go mad.

Fear is a terrible thing, especially when you're not quite sure what EXACTLY to be afraid of.

****

Prophecies for the future: Nostradamus, The Mayan Calendar, the Hopis, et al consistently point to a cleansing period leading up to a rebirth—the end of the ego, the end of history. I think the next five years are going to be just that—a big ass colonic to the world.

Rivers rise, the earth shakes, the winds blow and blow and blow, cold today an oven tomorrow weather that is just plain STRANGE. Creatures that were everywhere a few years back will vanish, the eco-system will attempt to restore balance, and that "balancing act" will make for some interesting times for all of us trying to "control" nature in order that we might continue to live comfortable, predictable lives.

Mother Nature is bigger than you and me and if she sees some of us as fleas on her back then she is more than capable of shaking us off.

*****

Neither a borrower nor a lender be—especially if the one holding your marker happens to be China. I think the US is likely to start getting a lot of collection calls from all over the world pretty soon and it is almost certain that those calls are going to be placed on speed dial to the "average" American who will be asked to step up and foot the bill for the excesses of the super-rich who caused this mess in the first place.

It will be harder and harder to buy homes and therefore people on the bubble, expecting rising equity to save them, may have some hard times ahead. Even the token lowering of the interest rates is (to me anyway) a biscuit given to the dog after the evil master kicks him. Oh thank you thank you for this scrap—a designed game, like a crap game, with odds favoring the house, a game you might win but odds are greater that at the end of the day the house will end up holding the pot—the one you would like to piss in but can no longer afford.

*****

The wars will continue, killing innocents will continue, half truths and flat out lies will continue and the world will fall further and further down the rabbit hole to hell. I believe the primary issue for all of us going forward is how do we react to all the killing and destruction that is being driven by leaders of our own country—the country that was once the light of the world.

This is a spiritual crisis, more than anything and the only thing (I believe) that matters is how we deal with the spiritual side of our lives.

A respect for the earth, a respect for all people no matter where they come from or what color they are or what language they speak, and a respect for one's self. It is too easy to hate one's self when staring at so much violence and bigotry and falsehood.

In a time of madness it is OK to be slightly mad but the trick, I think, is to try to find the spiritual core to balance that out. Love is the answer and right now we live in a time of hate and that hatred will only get worse as more and more things TO HATE appear before us.

I joked last night about my new invention: "The Armageddon Alarm Clock", set to go off six hours before the end of the world—so that we can all repent and pray for forgiveness. Some of us may have a longer list than others but I think six hours should HOPEFULLY be plenty.

But honestly the best course of action for all of us going forward is respect and love for one another. Tolerance and forgiveness and love, that is what is most important. The world is spinning out of control—fast. All we can do is right our own ship the best we can and showing a respect for the earth, for God, and for one another is (I think) a good place to start

Since I was once a contract executive for Enron, the man who, literally, wrote the Disaster Recovery Plan for Enron (yes yes, tis true), I know a little about privatization.

Privatization (the private sector's way of making a buck on things you think your tax dollars already pay for) is, and has been, the big ideological push for the past 15 years. Soon most things we take for granted as public services -- like schools, parking meters, fire departments, food stamps, etc etc -- will be run by corporations . . . a conservative wet dream, about to happen.

However, even though this little "shock doctrine" plan seems to be working, my prediction is this tide will soon, quickly AND dramatically, reverse !!

This has been orchestrated, overtly since 2001, to rob the poor to pay the rich . . . Robin Hood gone bad. The old Grover Norquist quote: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub" is coming to pass.

This is a sad day for those of those of us who feel a kinship with the earth and our fellow earthlings. Money and business, which -- to me anyway -- have thrown us in to a fiscal hell, are the loudest voices in town.

But they're not the only voices.

Soon, very soon, there will be an uprising in the United States and across the world. A populist, progressive voice -- weak at first, but growing stronger day by day -- that will speak louder than "big business".

This uprising, this collective "voice" is, of course, my hope.

But -- and I think I have the "street cred" and past history to support me that my viewpoint on future events quite often comes to pass -- it is also my "prediction".

I see it happening. Truly, I do :)

The Eye of the Needle

(Originally Posted May 29, 2011)

Admit it -- there are times when you read the news and think, "wow -- is it REALLY POSSIBLE people are truly just that stupid?"

We could list thousands of examples to support that. Of course, others might say the same about me, too, I guess. After all, I talk about seeing places thousands of miles away with just "my mind", reincarnation . . . and not just that, my version of reincarnation includes time folds and concurrent lives and a whole host of whackadoodle notions that would make the average white conservative Christian start looking for a match and a pile of twigs . . .

Add crop circles as messages from another world, the literal power of magick (with a k) and a specific past life as a Confederate General, Major General William Dorsey Pender . . . well, OK, you got me. I "stretch" your powers of tolerance.

However, I have been on a political tirade again and this morning I want to talk a bit about "the merger" of spirituality and greed.

There is a famous passage in The Bible that goes like this: "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" -- Matthew 19:24

But to listen to most "preachers" talk -- who take everything in the Bible, every parable, in the most literal sense . . . it seems to me that this particular passage seems to have slipped through the cracks.

Hypocrites !!

Yep . . . hypocrites.

But the "New Age" is not much better and, towards that end, I want to re-post a note I wrote back in early April. 'cause it says pretty clearly how I feel about it. Nothing wrong with having money and nice things . . . but, at what cost :(

I am, myself, in a bit of a moral and ethical crisis, wrestling with these same questions. The IT (Information Technology) market, as I "predicted", is finally "coming back" and once it does, my "market value" will suddenly rise from next to zero to a whole lot, pretty much overnight.

Not only that, my corporate "past life" includes skill sets that would allow me to circumvent most of the checks and balances that keep people from working in Canada because I have a skill so in demand that it would actually allow me to live and work in Canada RIGHT NOW . . . where there is a pretty girl who has stolen my heart (and I don't see her giving it back).

I don't care about the money -- not too much anyway . . . and I wouldn't go back to that "life" ONLY for the money --I played that game once and it led to a bad ending, but I DO want to live in Canada and so, the questions . . . they ramble around the cranium.

I can't be the only person in the world who has seen the greed and corruption running wild through the streets and felt paralyzed by the need to step way from the fire and go within. I can't go back . . . not in the same way. I have seen too much; but I am trying, hard, to find a way to split the difference -- to maintain the "proper balance".

Anyway . . . the need to be an ethical cat in a world of bad kitties -- it is a dilemma.

****

It is time to step away from focusing on "prosperity consciousness" -- the mantra of so many "self-help" gurus, of late -- and look, instead, at opening up to divine realizations of who (and what) we are: spiritual beings intimately connected to a greater "whole", immortal beings of light who reincarnate over and over, God-thirsty pilgrims looking for love.

See your connection to this "greater whole" and love will fill you; focus on separation and love will continually evade you.

It really is that simple . . . material things can be taken from you in the blink of an eye, a tsunami or fire or invading army can change your world pretty quickly. Choices based on "current market trends" can reverse in dramatic, life-altering ways . . . but Love and a connection to your spiritual core -- the timeless spark you start, and end, with -- will never waver.

Fill your heart with love, be open to the still small voice within you and no matter how dark the night of your soul's passage, you can still move in to a space of healing and slip within the open arms of forgiveness and, then, begin moving towards golden rays of love that will fill you up rather than leave you, as so many are, yearning for that "next thing" to justify your, too often ego-based, existence.

Love is truly what matters. You can have it. You can.

It's your choice.

Remote Viewing and Non-Locality of Consciousness

2011-08-26T19:01:00.001-07:00

(Originally Posted May 27, 2011)

I had a wonderful time the other evening on Melissa Frei's radio show "Voices From The Other Side" and we talked a bit about "remote viewing" . . . which is, basically, the visualization of places that are "someplace else".

Remote viewing is one of my claims to fame, I guess you could say -- and it is a magical experience when it happens. Seeing other places, either via the "astral plane" or some other mechanism is, to say the least, kind of a "trip" and in this note I want to talk a little about my theories as to how / why this "happens".

The basic mechanism for this revolves around the concept of non-locality of consciousness -- in essence, the ability to tap in to some quantum grid or hologram where information is "encoded" . . . based on one's "resonance", a person is able to tap in to this information grid and merge consciousness in such a way that the "viewer" can, literally, see "at a distance". It is really just like being there, too -- for me, I am always looking down and to my left, much like a bird might look down at the ground or a person in a small plane might see the landscape below.

Also: When I talk about people being on "the same wave length", I mean that in the most literal sense. It is this ability to tap in to the harmonic "wave pattern" of the place that allows an individual to "remote view" . . . sometimes you can "tune in" -- like tuning the radio dials looking for a particular station -- by holding an object or using specific geographical coordinants but for me it is easiest by tuning in to an individual . . . sort of like reading their minds -- or better yet, "sharing" their minds.

The information, for me anyway, has to be consciously "held" by another individual for me to "go there". This is why, I believe, it is so difficult for me to find lost objects when I can go in to great detail on things like site analysis, for example, or describe houses and neighborhoods in such specific details.

The "thought/memory" exists "somewhere" and just like you might scan the phone book looking for your cousin's number, I can scan the collective memory banks to locate the place / object in question. However, when an object is "lost", many times there is "no memory to scan" and when I was younger I realized that I was VERY GOOD at describing where people had already looked and not so good at finding what they we looking for.

Another thing to consider with this involves OBE's -- Out of Body Experiences. When you are really locked in as a remote viewer, you are definitely (in the classical sense) "Out of Body" . . . but really, what does this mean?

If your consious vision is simply "seeing" a place then, to me, there is no OBE -- but on those occasions when you feel and see in specific detail, just like you are walking down the street, when you can, literally, turn left or right and go where you want, at that point you are, for sure, Out of Body, as your consciousness (from the standpoint of physical sensations) is more grounded in the place viewed than the physical space you occupied before "viewing".

There have been studies suggesting that not only energy, but also an object's history, is stored at a quantum level. I think it is this residual history that one taps in to as a remote viewer -- and also when one views "past life information", as well. By merging with the quantum field, in some sense analagous to David Bohm's theory of Implicate Order, one is able to merge with this coded material.

If this is so, then I believe this merger is done "outside the body" and, if true, that suggests that consciousness is not location specific -- in other words, we don't think "only with the brain" but somehow, instead, our "consciousness" merges with a grander, more divine "source" . . . it is this quantum memory that, in my opinion, "reincarnates", as well, and by "merging with the holographic energy source", one can slice and dice the memory banks for information . . . ie, psychic insights.

In my next installment, I will talk in more detail about "how" one can best get in to the proper "space" in order to allow this merger to take place . . .

Anyway . . . a brief exploration of the nuts and bolts of remote viewing and "cosmic consciousness" :)

I have taken sort of a "back seat" in making public predictions over the past 3-4 months; I'm in love, in Canada and not really in the mood so much to see earthquakes and floods and mass killings all in the name of corporate profits . . . but there are times when the pedal and the metal collide and, much as I want to stay in my "happy space", I feel this month is a "transition" time, and I expect the world to tilt sideways quite a bit in the next 3 weeks.

There are times of crisis when the world "bumps" . . . things speed up; people die, the world changes.

I believe the rest of this month is one of those times. Even with all the madness of 2011 so far, I think it will get nuttier still and WAY more violent before month's end.

There are times when the world "speeds up" -- the next 20 days are going to be one of those times. A dangerous time, it would not surprise me to see someone very big in the political world either pass away or face a major crisis before the end of May.

I still hold to my "prediction" of major, POSITIVE changes starting around late August of this year. But the winds are blowing very hot right now. Tempers are steaming.

It will get ugly . . . soon :(

I just read a post from my dear friend Katie Marie Kat about the pain she feels today, thinking about the child she lost back when she was only a teen-ager. I, too, as many of you know, lost a child a few years back when my daughter Lehna was stillborn in March, 2006.

But many years earlier, I lost two other children -- both due to abortions by my girl friend at the time, a graduate student at Ohio State who felt that she wasn't ready for children and wanted to devote her energy more towards the pursuit of her Ph.D. than caring for a baby . . . the 2nd abortion actually happened only a few months after the first.

I know there are many women today who have lost children, either through miscarriage, abortion, or the death of their child and I know, too, that this day may not be a celebration for you. I feel some of your pain (but, of course, not all) and for those who fall in to this group, or know friends or family who do . . . please believe me when I say I send you my love and best wishes on Mother's Day.

It is your day, too.

On a day when perhaps a million people across the globe were in the streets protesting, supporting worker's rights -- after months of revolutionary activity in every part of the world -- on that day, miraculously, they make this announcement of bin Laden's death (something that probably happened years back) and then, the prize pig at the biggest county fair of all, they dump his body in to the sea.

I found this on the internet:
"U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition, the official said, declining to say whether DNA analysis had also been used.

The U.S. team took custody of bin Laden's remains. A U.S. official later said bin Laden had been buried at sea and the remains were handled in accordance with Islamic practice, which calls for speedy burial."

Wow, I, personally, might have taken at least one or two post-mortem photos. I guess crime scene photograhers just don't work on Sundays in Islamabad. Good taste didn't stop them from posting pictures of Hussein. So, why not now?

And then, of course, there is this rather interesting "fact" -- U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition.

It's kinda curious there is no "evidence". But every thing about 9/11 has been crystal clear so far, so I guess there's no reason why we should have any doubts as to the "truth" now. Right?

This is a time of the most naked aggression . . . the bait and swtich is truly working hard. Schools being dismantled; civil rights legislation being amended to death and children, innocents born in luxury but too soon tossed in to the stormiest of seas, ready to have their minds and hearts poked and prodded in hopes they will carry forward the conservative torch . . . forget the ways it "used to be".

A dark time and then this myth, played out with all this pomp and circumstance. The Royal Wedding and now, bin Laden's capture and death.

Coincidence? Perhaps.

But after years of the most outlandish lies, on this most interesting date: May 1 -- and with protesters out, en masse, across the world . . . on this day, they make "the announcement".

Seriously . . . at least TRY to make it believable.

The Bible says psychics are EVIL. Is that TRUE?

Just got a lovely email, asking me about a question that all of us in this "profession" have probably dealt with: "am I EVIL because I see things" ??

One thing I never had to deal with as a business analyst were questions as to whether my skill came directly from the DEVIL !!

But as a psychic, it comes up a lot and dealing with this question was something of a "rite of passage" for myself, too, when I was young (as I assume it was for many others).

In fact, I would be inclined to say that 35 years ago it was even worse for us than it is now. I remember watching a film on TV back in the mid-seventies (probably 1976 or 1977) called "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" and even the idea of reincarnation was something NO ONE talked about. Ever. I wanted to know why these things were happening to me but there were very few outlets to learn. No internet, very few psychics.

There is still always the possibility that some right-wing Christian will legislate my career out of existence, too.

Talking with "Spirits"

2011-04-19T12:18:00.000-07:00

I have kept them "out" (angels, spirits, old sea captains and funky mermaids who slide across the carpet) preferring instead to focus my laser beam on chakras and distant cities but as I have continued to let myself loose down the past life trail I see it's, indeed, a slippery slope and, as many of you already know, opening one door leads in to a hallway with 15 more . . .

I've seen these "other worlds" for over 30 years but, amazingly, I've kept it, for the most part (loud mouth that I am hahaha), to myself. It's close, very close, though, to the right time to write about ALL I see.

That would be the "Mystical Andini" . . .

But first, something of an inventory. My "opinions" as to just what it all means.

Past Lives -- Yes, I believe in "past lives" but not in the sequential, one after the other, way most people probably assume they must operate, if (in fact) they do operate. I believe there is a unique, spiritual essence that circulates through life after life and whacky as it must sound, I think we often lead lives in the same calendar time, but not on the same plane.

Say what?

I believe we live multiple lives in the same "year" but not in the same "reality" . . . my closest guess as to how this works is something akin to the old Jim Carrey movie "The Truman Show". Not sure how; sadly, I'm not that smart.

But I do believe it is more "mysterious" than 3-D reality would lead us to believe. Quantum physics gives us a clue as to how it might operate . . . but again, I'm not plugged in enough, or "cosmic" enough (yet) to figure it all out. But I promise you, it is stranger than what you think.

Spirits -- well well well, Alicia's house and yard right now is like a convention for angels and dead sailors and much as I realize that her clairvoyant boyfriend has a history of seeing things others don't -- this, somehow, seems "different". And the irony (or beauty) of it is that much of what they show me (and tell me, 'cause I've now added, and yes, Pamela Nine, I know you said this, "clairaudient" to my resume) is then validated by Alicia.

So -- what do angels in the yard and sea captains in the kitchen, actually "mean"?

Sadly, once again, my brilliance does not quite go quite far enough to actually "know" what it means. But, here is my theory. I think, much like "ghosts" leave something of an imprint in the ethereal dust of a particular locale, there is a spiritual "essence" that "somehow" permeates our "world" and it shows up (or crosses over) into a more physical 3-D space from time to time and is recognized as such by those whose antenna happen to have the right equipent or pass code to pick up their "channel".

I don't know if this is some karmic "pay per view" system or if some of us have the "dog whistle" channel hard wired into our internal satellite system straight from jump. My guess is that it's always there but there has to be a meeting of both the proper "receiver" and proper "signal" to see, hear, feel or sense it.

When the time is right, the weather is dandy and the mood is set -- THEN, voila, ghosts in the kitchen, angels on the back porch.

If that's "true" -- and I, personally, believe it is -- then that would suggest there is indeed some divine guiding hand behind what goes on . . . God.

So, for sure, I believe in a creative magical amazing creative force "somewhere" . . . this isn't some silly two carbons ran in to each other on the way to the store and life began by accident (so, dude, tell me why was the carbon driving in the first place hahaha).

I didn't graduate from college in the 1970's in part because I had to take science classes and I "knew" their "methods" would rot my brain and rather than pursue my academic professorial Harvard Grad School dreams, I passed on the "basic requirements" and began edging over to the mystical rebel outlaw side of town and never, quite, made it back :)

There is a purpose to life. It didn't just "randomly" happen. It "means something" !!

Once again, I am not smart enough to "know" what that purpose is -- but I "believe", with every ounce of my being, that God exists and, not only that, I belive God "slips in" from time to time to make things happen.

This, for those of you schooled in classical logic, means I believe in "divine intervention" . . . what some call "miracles" and this isn't some bad Far Side cartoon but a true, touched by the hand of the Spirit manifestation. I do, again with all my heart, believe in "miracles" performed by a divine spiritual source, either God or one of God's "peeps".

So . . . once again, another status update greater than 420 characters that has gotten out of hand :)

But, a little bit (more) of what I think . . . and why. Thanks for hangin' with me.

Believe in miracles and know, deep down in your gut, there is a touch of the Divine in all we do. That is my thought for this morning. Peace and love to all :)

Karma Stew

2011-04-19T12:16:00.000-07:00

If you work at a problem long enough -- and are open and focused . . . and patient; eventually the answer will make itself known to you. A few months ago, I felt that "eureka" kind of energy flowing through, and around, me. A couple of weeks before that, I had spoken with my good friend Scott Grossberg about a "unified field" theory of divination and Scott always inspires me to look at problems in new ways.

I have tried to forge ahead with my "style" and philosophy as a "reader" and it didn't always connect with other people, in large part because I kept rejecting many of the things they found, in me, most appealing. I understand that -- but I was never able to fully articulate what I "did" in a way that I felt was consistent with my "higher self". When I turned the "remote viewer -- you're going to get a job in a building next to the fire station" thing on, well . . . all was good.

But that misses the point. The point is . . . root cause. Without understanding the mechanics of "why" that thing I see is likely to happen, you are in a passive state, literally asleep. I am still making my way, slowly -- but surely . . . towards integrating the causal links behind behavior, both backwards and forwards. The future and the past . . . one unified body of knowledge, sliced at a specific point -- a holographic model of behavior and pre-cognition with the added bonus of walking in, and listening to, other "parallel worlds".

The integration of the mind, both conscious and sub-conscious, with the body . . . and by body I mean not only the physical body we wear but the larger social, political body that surrounds us, influencing us in so many ways . . . bits of energy swirling in, around, and through us . . . the question: how does the body interface with the mind? How do we become aware of old psychological triggers in the body; how do we understand them and make them "conscious" allies as opposed to "unconscious" assassins?

I have always gone after a bigger fish with the expectation that I had all the tools to land the biggest ones. That may not be true but I continue on working towards understanding how it all goes together. I have never given up and I feel somehow closer to "figuring it all out".

I see more and more each day how reincarnation works and why it matters. "Past lives", for me, are the missing link.

Last year, I created a divination deck specifically geared towards past lives: the "Khar - Ma: Past Lives Divination Deck." I go through "phases" with being a psychic -- some days I am totally "over it", some days I totally love it and I have always been this way; when I'm "feeling it" I am happy to do them but after awhile the tank empties and I need to put it aside for a bit. I am never really "off", either, as almost everyone (as many of my psychic friends will likely confirm) who talks to me is "curious" about what I think.

Not only that, what I think is "quotable" and "will be quoted" -- so, truthfully, you're never off the clock unless you simply refuse to talk . . . a few months back, I went throough one of those periods where I just simply stopped accepting clients (which of course doesn't REALLY happen -- but you can at least slow the trickle down a bit) and, as a result, I had some additional time to think about how past lives "work". Even more than that, I had additional time to tap in to my own "karmic vault".

Here is a sample of what I've "discovered".

In the radio shows and live past life "reads" I've done on air, I have talked many times about "thematic buckets" in regards to past life influences. Typically, people have 3 primary themes. Some more, some less but the most common way for me to see it is for people to have 3 primaries; this might be "Healer", "Artist", "Diplomat", "Military", "King", "Spiritual/Monk", "Mystic/Magician", etc etc.

And these "themes" tend to be primary or secondary in a particular life. Someone might be, let's say, 20 % Healer, 20 % Artist and 60 % Builder in this lifetime (relatively speaking) and much like certain planets may work as undercurrents in the natal astrology chart, so too will these "sub-themes" work in the current life time, relative to how an individual makes decisions and/or processes information. The ratio might have been much different (and usually that's the case) in a different incarnation as you tend to shift "roles" each round, in order to add texture . . . this allows you to better "see" who you "are", by continually shining your inner spiritual light against this rich and varied tapestry of cumulative experiences.

Not only that, just as the place you live influences how you think and act -- native and national cultures seep in to the blood stream, whether you're conscious of it or not -- there are also certain places (and the memories of the dominant culture of a particular place) that underscore who you are now -- and how you act. The "how you act" part is influenced by an instinctive expectation of "how you SHOULD act" and not only do past life themes "show up", past life "locales" also show up.

If your genetic memory is tuned to a specific channel, say Central Asia, and you're living in West Texas, for example, then you may have a karmic "disconnect" between cultures and attitudes. There is "what you see and hear" and what you "know" deep within. Sometimes they line up; sometimes they don't.

For me, I tend to see myself having 4 primary themes: (1) King / Politician, (2) Mystic / Magician, (3) Military / Rebel and (4) Artist / Aesthete. When I "look" at my own "past lives" I see a LOT of uniforms, a whole lot of uniforms. But I also have the mystic sit in a cave thing going on, too . . . one from each food group :)

I have 4 primary themes, all very strong, which truthfully is fairly unusual, and the themes are, in one way of looking at it, almost polar opposites. One of the outcomes of this type of thematic blending would suggest a fairly "complex" personality (which is kinda true, don't you think) -- one at home with sudden and dramatic shifts, in keeping with the natural instinct, and need, for adaptability to potentially shifting sands within the particular "job description" associated with these "types" of lifetimes.

This information can be helpful in defining "styles of learning" as well as "styles of adapting". The ego structure is a fragile beast in all of us and defining and understanding these themes is a good way to delve in to the depth of soul driving us onward. I am not going to go in to a lot of detail in this particular piece, but this "information" is fully accessible (to me anyway and I am sure to others, as well) via something that I can best describe as "home movies in my head".

The lifetime "imprints" somehow on the etheric "film" -- which is also how "ghosts" come to be, too, in a slightly different manner. A fascinating subject -- one that has driven me onward for well over 30 years . . .

More to come.

I am a good psychic (I think) but not always the greatest marketer . . . I have so many endorsements that, typically, I don't always bother to keep them. As it stands, I have almost 50 full pages of endorsements and emails and probably twice that many have been lost due to, simply, just not thinking to save them -- and this doesn't count my "first go-round" when I was on national television in the early '90's.

I take a lot of pride in the fact that when I do "readings" I give very detailed, specific information. My main "claim to fame" is describing locations and people as a "remote viewer".

Anyway, I was looking through them and decided to compile just a few.

The first one is transcribed from a phone call I received last week and the others are all emails I've received just within the past year.

1) Got this call today: I predicted a few months back for an unemployed client that he would get a job (a) working on airplanes for the Navy Dept, (b) in a another city in his home state (c) for a contracting company that issued checks from Maryland (d) at the end of January. He called to tell me he got a job working on Navy planes, in a city 6 hours from his home in NC and his checks were, in fact, issued in Maryland.

I predicted he would get the job at the end of January but he didn't get it until February . . . other than that, pretty much dead on :) . . . I insisted it would be a contracting company that had a contract with the US Navy and that it would involve airplanes, specifically planes for the Navy and that his pay checks would originate from Maryland (kind of an odd thing to say) AND that he would be forced to commute but it would still be in his home state -- just the other end of the state (which is exactly what happened) . . . I saw the job being from Maryland but he would be working in NC :)

2) Remember you did my readings before? back then, I have not thought about moving out of LA. and truthfully I didn't have some other guy either. but i DID!!!!! AND HE HAD CHIPPED TOOTH like you said!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was really shocked. I'm not seeing him any more though.. like you said, I'm still with my boyfriend of that time when we talked, we are so much better now... ( you also said that the dynamics of the relationship will change) it did.

It's a long story but short, everything you said was sooooo true! !!! im really shocked at how correct you are. hahaha im sure you get this all the time, right?
well just like you said, I'm in San Francisco now!!!!!!

never have I ever imagined that I would move to SF.... damn
well i'm so thankful that i got to know you! cuz you gave me a great reading, also very inspiring too when I was really feeling down.

I'm getting my MFA here in san francisco! yayyyy It's a 3 year program so I won't be working for awhile. (you also told me that it would be some time later on )

well I just wanted to let you know that. you really helped me out a lot and I'm so thankful that you told me all those great inspirational words and told me to believe in myself..

thanks so much Andrew!

and you and your gf looks so good together!! :) have a great 2011 !!!

3) Andrew in your reading to me you described a place restaurant & bar... My favorite place. L shaped bar. Family & Friends would introduce me to my next Man in my life. You described him & everything. I am mindful of what you said. May 13th My Family & I are going to that place The Lonestar Steak House. :) I will keep you posted & Validated xxx Thank You! Love & Blessings xxx

((Andrew))) -- I had dinner with Family this evening at the L shape Restaurant & Bar... Update on your reading... In the middle of dinner a family member described like the man you said would hook this next relationship up (You described a man & woman helping out on the matchmaking)

he says to me, " I think I know someone who may like to take you out." Hmmmm, it surprised me when this family member said this. I thought about what you said. I didn't ask him to describe the man for the focus was on my Daughter's Birthday & We were celebrating Mother's Day at the same time. All Grandma's & Even Great Grandma was there.... I will keep you posted... Love & Blessings xxx

4) Andrew. I wanted to thank you for your uncannily accurate prediction. I was asked by FEMA to give a group a real tour of the bayous and swamps here that has led to a job doing just that! EXACTLY like you said. I have to tell you I was not really buying the psychic stuff till you nailed it on the head!

I was talking to my girlfriend in New Orleans and told her what you said even down to the long gate and she is UH UH and I'm Yeah huh! He did it. She was amazed!

I asked her to pull the archived show and she is blown away! She asked if you knew me prior and I am like NO I didn’t know the guy from Adam! I can’t tell you how you have made me reevaluate everything or how positively you have changed my life! You RAWK! Love ya man!”

5) Just wanted to let you know you were right about the pension for my husband. We got a call Fri said the papers don’t match on the amount and that there is a lot of money missing. they said they were going to close the case until they read the papers on this. They are launching a full investigation on this in 10 days.

You want to taste it, feel the soft warm breath of God, roll in a karmic feather bed connected to Source, with tiny angel fingers touching your brain, firing loving memories of light and sound, seeing (one more time) your true home -- the place you left, the place (right now) you are missing sooooo desperately.

A shamanic opening to inner worlds as well as the higher realms is, literally, happening with many people -- right now. I am guessing that quite a few people, over the past 4-8 weeks, have felt a bit of a "buzzing" for a soul connection, not just/necessarily with a "mate" but with a source/promise of divinity. A magickal time, descending, like a fluffy cloud with angel's wings.

This is going to be an "interesting" couple of months as more and more people wake up to the actual truth of who they are . . . soul memories bursting like sun beams warming fields of golden flowers, a deep ache for the one left behind.

Think back to a time when YOU ached to see that boy or girl in another town, going to another school -- ached to touch them, pacing the floor, counting nickels for gas money -- nothing mattered but the next time you saw them, touched them, kissed them.

Well that is how more and more people are going to start feeling about connecting to that "still, small voice" whispering to them -- right now. Hang tight, 'cause it's about to happen. The alarm clock is set. All across the planet people are about . . .

I have made A LOT of predictions about trends and when I thought it best to zig and when I thought zagging was better . . . In 2008 and 2009, I said the economy would have "issues" NO MATTER what anyone thought -- to me the train had already left the station and there was no stopping it. Same song, pretty much, in 2010.

Now, though, the vibe is different -- NOW is the time to make changes, big changes if that's what you feel in your heart.

There are times when events are just, simply, "more fixed" than others and then there are times like now -- a time to CHOOSE, a time for a little magick :)

Since Alicia and my appearance this morning on Morrighan Lynne's radio show, I have received so many lovely heart-felt emails. Amazing -- Thank you !!

But, here is the bottom line. I was alone, and had thought, like many who wrote me, that perhaps a real true love would never come my way again. Too old, too strange, too something . . . all these thoughts ran through my head, right? Sound familiar?

But IT did; it found me, after, somehow, I FIRST found myself. That's the key, ya know -- knowing yourself, being content with who you are, comfortable in your own skin.

Love is fabulous. It is magical. It makes the world go ROUND :)

Indeed, it does.

But . . . if it can happen for me, it can also, most definitely, happen for you, too. Believe in yourself; believe in your own self worth . . . love matters and it is there for all of us. We just to have to first step through the door, the one marked "fear of being found out".

We ARE worthy -- somewhere there is another soul who will get you, if you're kind and compassionate and show him or her love. Don't worry about not being good enough, 'cause you are. That is my message for this evening.

We all deserve love . . . my truest greatest hope is that you find it, as I have found it, because when you do, slowly, but surely, you will march to a different beat and the love that oozes out of you will help make a more beautiful world -- for all of us. I wish you love, truly, truly I do :)

It is time to step away from focusing on "prosperity consciousness" -- the mantra of so many "self-help" gurus, of late -- and look, instead, at opening up to divine realizations of who (and what) we are: spiritual beings intimately connected to a greater "whole", immortal beings of light who reincarnate over and over, God-thirsty pilgrims looking for love.

See your connection to this "greater whole" and love will fill you; focus on separation and love will continually evade you.

It really is that simple . . . material things can be taken from you in the blink of an eye, a tsunami or fire or invading army can change your world pretty quickly. Choices based on "current market trends" can reverse in dramatic, life-altering ways . . . but Love and a connection to your spiritual core -- the timeless spark you start, and end, with -- will never waver.

Fill your heart with love, be open to the still small voice within you and no matter how dark the night of your soul's passage, you can still move in to a space of healing and slip within the open arms of forgiveness and, then, begin moving towards golden rays of love that will fill you up rather than leave you, as so many are, yearning for that "next thing" to justify your, too often ego-based, existence.

Love is truly what matters. You can have it. You can.

It's your choice.

Alicia and I watched the movie "Herafter" last night. When this movie first came out, a couple of people told me they thought of me when they watched it -- since I was a well-known psychic, on national television 24 hours a day, seven days a week, who walked away from being a psychic and said "no mas -- never again" for 14 years, I could relate to this and, as a result, was curious to see it . . . but immediately after it came out, lots of people in the "light worker community" started blasting this movie as denigrating psychics and so I passed on watching it, until now.

Because, for me, based on where I am now, this movie has an even greater impact than if I had watched it last year.

I see this film not as a story about psychic phenomena but instead as a love story about two people whose worlds are rocked and who, eventually, through a "divine guiding hand" come together and find each other.

Soul mates.

A psychic wunderkind not always down with sharing his gift who meets and falls instantly for a beautiful girl (from a foreign country) -- I can definitely relate.

Very few people understand the price tag that comes with this gift -- and, as a straight male in a world filled mainly with women or gay men, the challenges (and rewards) of "being a boy" are not easily understood, nor thought of, by most people.

I have had people say to me almost verbatim many of the things said to George (the psychic played by Matt Damon) . . . "You have a gift, you owe it to others to use it . . . it is who you are, you have to do it. etc etc etc". I have heard these same speeches for 25 years. And, like George, I also walked away from doing it at a time when there was plenty of money on the table for me to scoop up . . . this was long ago, when not everyone in America called themselves a psychic -- but I turned down repeated infomercials because I saw the fork in my road bending in a very dramatic way. And the price tag, for me then, was losing out on being a father to my one year old daughter and so: "psychic rock star" or "father" were the choices I saw (and I didn't see them happening together) -- and I, of course, chose "father".

After making this "choice", I went "underground" and DID NOT like it when people recognized me -- because in the early '90's they did . . . for fear that it would "blow my cover". In this case, I identify more with the French journalist who saw her professional reputation, and career, suffer when she talked openly about her feelings about God and spirituality.

And then, there is the "relationship thing" . . . more people probably wanted pyrotechnics of the afterlife and buzzing space ships filled with angels scooping up lost souls as they passed, a battle of light and dark . . . an action movie. This was directed, after all, by Clint Eastwood.

But I understood it as a movie about someone who was lonely, who wanted to be loved. And was trying desperately to find it.

I have seen relationships crumble because "I knew things". Girls who were attracted to me, who didn't know about my "gift", sometimes freaked and split. Others came on to me BECAUSE I was psychic and so, for me anyway, it had the very obvious benefit of allowing me the opportunity to attract lots and lots of girls, at the same time ruining the long-term potential of almost all of them.

An interesting, and puzzling, dilemma. One that I solved, as George solved, by going within and turning the volume down.

To find himself, and to find love, he had to go a different path.

I loved this movie. It is not for everyone, but if you think of this film as a love story and not a "psychic story" I think you may have a new appreciation for the beauty of this film.

I was sort of a "psychic prodigy" when I was young but in Ohio in the 1970's, there just weren't a lot of opportunities to study and "figure it out", so eventually I had to head West and, in 1979, I landed in San Francisico.

I studied with a lot of "teachers" in San Francisco when I was there in my early 20's -- the most important, by far, being Sanaya Roman. I left, because it was expensive to live there, and went back to Ohio where I spent my late 20's meditating and doing guided visualizations, literally, 30-40 hours every week for 5 years, on top of an extensive reading program, then a year or two later I turned "pro" and was the resident morning psychic on the biggest rock station in Ohio within a couple of months after "coming out", as well as landing a gig managing "Pearls of Wisdom" -- the hot new Metaphysical bookstore. I was positioned at the center of the metaphysical universe and life was good.

I continued to train (and I trained for it, just as you might train for the Olymics) and take classes, including "Peaceful Warrior" training with Dan Millman, and, after establishing myself as one of the best psychics in Ohio, I got a gig as a newspaper columnist in "The Free Press" and then was offered a chance to go to Los Angeles as a featured psychic in a $3.99 a minute infomercial with Erik Estrada and Jenilee Harrison that aired 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in every major market in the United States and Canada for a year and a half.

My prediction that Jenilee would do live theatre, something she swore would never happen (she was an ex-Rams Cheerleader who replaced Suzanne Sommers on "Three's Company"), was used as "proof" that your $3.99 a minute was better spent with "us" as opposed to that "other psychic", Linda Georgian, who was promoted back then by Dionne Warwick.

Life WAS good, indeed. Not only was I sort of a psychic rock star, I also had the nickname "The Psychic Adonis" to go along with it so things were definitely kickn but then, at sort of the top of my game, if you will, with more TV opportunities already lined up if I "signed the contract", for some crazy reason I said "fuck it" and walked.

Turned off the phones, refused to make appearances, and vanished. For 14 years.

It was only after Lehna's death that I "came back" -- something I swore for years would never happen. The moral of this story is that the path to awakening and developing psychic abiities, no matter how naturally talented you may or may not be, is a long slow apprenticeship and not always in a straight line.

My path is unique, I'm sure -- but not that unique that there aren't others with similar stories. But, bottom line, it takes time and it takes work -- a lot of work -- to get "good" at this. There are no short-cuts.

No short-cuts, at all. There is a hefty price tag to play this game and few are willing to pay it. Carl Jung says "there is no coming to consciousness without pain" and just as an athlete or performer trains for years to finally "make it", the same holds true for psychics, as well.

Moliere, the French playwright, has a great quote where he compares writing to prostitution: "first you do it for love, then you do it for a few friends, and finally you do it for money".

You can only do this if you love it but eventually it "changes" when it becomes a profession. But, for me, the love for the "work" has never left. It's faded at times, but never ever went away :)

the touch of spirit on the body."

World War 3.0.3

As we start on a new leg of the Neo-Con Rockem-Sockem World Tour, sponsored by Chevron and Goldman Sachs, it becomes more and more obvious, to me, anyway, why I have tried so hard to stop making political predicitions and commentary. Over the past 4 years, I have given my speeches, made my predictions, listened to all the naysayers tell me I'm wrong, or unpatriotic, or just plain flat out crazy (or, what was meant to really "get" me, someone who didn't "think positive").

But I wasn't wrong . . . and my predictions later, at least regarding wars and economics, proved to be incredibly, almost eerily, accurate.

I have said 2011 is going to be a magical time, the start of something positive . . . of course, it is starting out a lot like the other years when I made a series of predicitons considered almost too dark to even consider . . . but in 2007, saying things were going in to the shitter was a warning; it was meant to help people adapt to large-scale changes that were, at minimum, inconvenient but, for many, mind-blowing life-altering land mines.

I tried to help people understand what was happening and how they could mitigate some of the fall-out by taking action. Some got it; most didn't . . . but that's my "job" -- to try and help people. I am not obligated to say everything I "see", nor is it really ethical to do so, but I felt then that I needed to say what I was seeing and try to make sense of the storm clouds I saw so clearly blowing our way. My job, first and foremost, is to try to help people and that takes many forms.

But now, more than ever, I feel I can be most "helpful" not by saying this bad thing is going to happen or THIS bad thing is going to happen but instead by focusing on the power of happiness and love and standing firm in this space.

My ego is better served by making predictions to show I was right . . . prove I'm a psychic badass.

But, for now, that is not how I see myself. Now, more than ever, it is my ability to see the good, the silver lining in the black cloud (which has been my mantra for personal readings all throughout my career), and express that, forcefully and consistently -- that is the arena in which I feel, now, I can do the most "good".

This madness will pass. We will love and sing and feel joy once more. Please don't forget that.

In 2007, my role was Cassandra, sounding a warning that was both true and unbelievable, but I had to do it -- partly because I felt it was important but also because, in retrospect, it adds to my "street cred" as someone who knows (or at least knew then) what he's talking about.

I am hopeful that crediblity carries forward now. Please believe me when I say that we can find a happy future. But it comes with a price.

The price? Being honest about the present.

And, sadly, that is not a price most can pay :(

They will ask you
what you have produced.
Say to them,
except for Love,
what else can a Lover produce?

The Alchemical Heart: A Magazine for Soul Mates

From 2007 -- when I "returned" to the "psychic world", shortly after throwing my 300K consulting career in to the toilet after my daughter Lehna's death -- to early 2010 most of my public focus as a psychic was on making predictions, specifically predictions about politics and economics -- with a flood or shipwreck thrown in from time to time for good measure. I was, in retrospect, incredibly accurate but seeing all this . . . and saying it when no one really wanted to hear it -- well it took its toll. I grew tired of it all and, several times, tried to pack my psychic bags and go.

In 2010, I found a new outlet for a while -- working in Los Angeles as an actor; something of a pleasant surprise but all along my internal battle could sort of be summed up like this: "am I a psychic artist, or an artistic psychic?" . . . and, if somehow I really am both, which of course is truly what I am, what is the best way to blend and honor both worlds.

In the fall of 2010, another pleasant surprise fell in to my lap; I met a girl and I fell in love, madly, hopelessly, in love . . . and within a very short time my public demeanor (without planning it that way) -- and the manner in which I tended to be perceived by others, changed fairly dramatically -- from wild child Hollywood psychic bad boy to Soul Mate poster child.

An interesting transition.

And now, I am adding a new wrinkle to that; I am planning, with the help of quite a few of my closest friends and colleagues whose work I respect, to start a new magazine devoted to love and spirituality . . . a magazine for, and about, soul mates, about the love that transcends time . . . about meeting your soul in the body and arms of another.

I have heard from a lot of people that they "want what Alicia and I have" . . . and I can certainly understand that, since I spent 55 years looking for it myself. But that was not the reason I have decided to go down this path, although it certainly played a part.

My work with past lives and astrology also had a huge influence in why I have decided to start this magazine. There are several very well-known psychics and artists on board with this as columnists and contributors and over the next couple of weeks I will be introducing them and letting you know a little more about the specifics. But, for now, I just want to say this:

Love is what matters. It, truly, does make the world go round and without it, we are a sad sad pup. "The Alchemical Heart" will be a blend of spirituality and romance, with sacred places as well as intimate places to sit with the one you love . . . astrology and food, past lives and places to visit in the present day. A magazine for those who want to taste that most special of loves, the meeting of self in the body of another.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet.
Rumi

Business, Intuition and the World of Tomorrow

I wrote the Disaster Recovery Plan for Enron -- and much as this may sound like the punch line to an old joke, it is, quite literally, the truth. I have managed projects at some of the largest companies in the world.

I also have another fairly unique piece of vocational history. I am a psychic, a very well known psychic, arguably one of the best "remote viewers" in the world, and just as I warned execs at CSC, who had a $1.1 Billion outsourcing contract, that all was not well at Enron, then considered the most innovative company in the world, I also "predicted" years in advance the economic downturn, at a time when few were able, or willing, to see it.

Douglas Dean of the New Jersey Institute of Technology conducted a study analyzing the relationship between intuition and business success. Professor Dean found that 80 per cent of successful executives had above average precognitive powers. 'Success', for his study, was defined as doubling profits over a five-year period.

In a study conducted in 2006 (PRWeek/Burson-Marsteller CEO Survey), 62% of CEOs who were polled said they primarily use their "gut feelings" when making decisions.

Management professor Weston Agor of the University of Texas in El Paso found that of the 2,000 managers he tested, higher-level managers scored highest in intuition. Most of these executives stated that initially they gathered all the relevant information and data available, but if the data was conflicting or incomplete, they then relied on intuitive approaches to come to a conclusion.

The power to excel in the “Next Economy”, due in large measure to both the high levels of complexity and incredible (and increasing) speed of changes taking place, will come about, for many, by utilizing and mastering a combination of intuition and logic – a little bit Nostradamus, a little bit Sherlock Holmes.

I know something about this . . . as I went from being a nationally televised clairvoyant in the early ‘90’s to a $175.00 an hour Management guru just a few years later. With no business training and no college degree, I was able, in my forties, within 2 years, to start making over $25,000 a month as a Management Consultant. I continued to secure larger and larger contracts over a 10 year period until I decided to walk away from the corporate world and return to my “psychic roots”.

Over the past few years I have very purposely stayed away from the corporate world. I had my reasons. But the world of tomorrow is going to be a blend of many exotic flavors, a little bit of spice from many pots and business and metaphysics – in the past strange bedfellows – will soon blend in ways unimagined when I was a child but, truth be told, I saw all this so clearly even then and have built my life in sync with those childhood visions.

The world I saw as a child is, literally, materializing right before our eyes . . . right now. The rulers are the same but the rules, somehow, are different, nonetheless. Intuition – logic; spirituality – materialism, quantum leaps – slow steady growth; paradoxical, unorthodox, revolutionary, earth-shattering . . . all those words and more.

This world is what I have seen in my dreams and in the secret places in my heart my whole life; you may not see it just yet – but I do.

Intuition and Business; healers with a heart, entrepreneurs totally plugged in, governmental policies based on spiritual truths – utopia, nirvana, Heaven on Earth. I can’t express strongly enough how much I believe this world is on our doorsteps.

The old guard will soon be gone; the lions are waiting in the trees and soon, very soon, the veils will lift. I see it happening. Truly, I do.

Saturday Night in Comox Valley

I went to a party Saturday night with Alicia (the first "viewing" by some of her friends of her new American boyfriend) and met a really interesting man who owned a company with a very unique (and, as far as I could see, completely viable) business model promoting alternative energy solutions. We had a nice conversation and I totally understood his concept, was able to quickly figure out much of the capitalization ('cause I'm good at math) and actually started seeing fairly comprehensive platforms to both market and implement his product.

After awhile, he asked me what I did. I said "don't you know?" -- assuming I was a rare enough bird to have, at least, garnered a little pre-visit buzz. He then said, "so tell me. What IS a psychic? What do you do?"

We talked for a while longer and then he looked at me and said "that all sounds pretty sane."

And, I thought, well of course it does :) . . . because my approach to this most mystical art is rooted in a rather complex, but incredibly balanced, blend of flat out clairvoyance wrapped within a classical education in the Humanities and Critical Thinking. The "Sane Psychic" . . . my latest tag line.

But the idea of sanity and psychic insight for many is a bit of a stretch because to most people -- let's face it -- those of us who see "beyond the veil" are often considered a bit "out there" . . . one of the reasons I hid my psychic TV past so diligently when I made the switch from prophet to profit motive back in the late 90's.

When I worked as a business analyst, I was able to "see" what was broken in much the same way I see constrictions in your 3rd chakra today. The part that had "issues" lit up to me. Literally. It . . . lights . . . up -- like a bulb on a Christmas tree.

So issues in your 3rd chakra or a supply chain problem or data integrity issues in some legcy system feeding into the mainframe, I see them all the same way. At first.

But the way I "approach" them is completely different -- because, of course, the model to describe (and later, work to "fix") is rooted in a completely different semantic system with a totally different emotional core underscoring what's "wrong".

I couldn't work at a high level in business without a fairly decent understanding of how it works and -- especially -- how people who "do it" . . . talk about it. Because more than "seeing", it is the "describing" that really matters.

As we move forward in to this amazing transformational year, more and more we will be called upon to explain what we see in words and pictures that the average Joe can relate to. Even if what I see is soooooooooooo out there, still I make conscious choices in how I describe what I see . . . and what I suggest as the most viable solutions to correct any problems one may have.

The "Sane Psychic" -- a wonderful conversation on a wonderful night, along side the incredibly beautiful woman I love :)

"Shift" not only happens, it is happening right now

2011-04-19T11:59:00.000-07:00

*Originally posted February 13, 2011

It would not be surprising to see, short-term, more regressive political measures and ideas swirling about . . . but that world, and mind-set, is crumbling. The wake-up bells are clanging and the "shift" so many of us have said would happen one day is finally happening.

Right now.

I have been saying for the past few months that "2011 is gonna be a magical year" and that things would look a lot different at the end of 2011 than it looked at the beginning. Love, respect, balance . . . what we would hope to see in individuals we should also expect from countries. The old ways are dying. Truly they are.

It is interesting looking back over the past few years that my "predictions" for the upcoming year have always been seen as "extreme" and "unlikely" (and, in retrospect, pretty much dead on). I was one of the few, five or six years ago, willing to say (out loud) that the United States was on the decline -- ruined by political criminals and unchained greed -- and that economic news would be more dire and long-lasting than anyone could imagine . . . or, at a minimum, admit to.

I have been visiting in Canada for the past 5 days and already I am seeing (and feeling) the difference between the U.S. and our neighbor to the North. I am incredibly sensitive to "energy" and, at first, I noticed I was kind of irritable and, truthfully, kind of a dick . . . but this is not the first time I've gone through short-term "mass consciousness shifts".

On a symbolic level, I feel my body was "adapting" to the collective consciousness here on Vancouver Island. It's different . . . and, for a couple of days, my badass American self was noticing (and not understanding) that difference . . . it is (for me, anyway) a noticeable, tangible change that I see and feel, quite literally, in "the ether".

There is something very akin to mass hypnosis happening in the United States, all manifest destiny and big trucks and fancy bonuses, buy buy buy -- but for more and more people that world is a sham. Across the globe people are waking up from the hypnotic tick tock of mass consumerism and I expect, very soon, that love and dreams of peace will replace the need to for measuring our self-worth only by our bank accounts.

When we see our common humanity in others, how alike we truly are -- regardless of race or language -- rather than how different, THEN we will start to bring this world in to reality.

Over the last few years, I have repeatedly said that I expect 2012 to be a lot like Y2K -- but dramatic shifts in consciousness are happening, at an incredibly rapid pace, as we move towards that magical date. So maybe that's it. Maybe "that" is 2012 . . . The world is about to change. A lot.

For the better . . . I see it.

Let them eat Cake

In 2002, I agonized for months (and that word is correct, although understated) that the United States was going to do something I knew would cause huge problems later: invade Iraq. I knew it -- and I didn't have to be Nostradamus to figure it out. The idea that this would be over in 3 months was, to me anyway, ludicrous. I knew -- and knew is the correct term -- that if the United States invaded Iraq (which I suspected was inevitable but prayed was not) the war would (a) last forever, (b) be a financial black hole, and (c) destroy the United States' credibility at some future time -- not to mention gradually weakening what was then the most powerful military force ever assembled.

The issues in Egypt will soon spread and the ability of the U.S. to mitigate it in any meaningful way has already been squandered by the past 8 years (EIGHT YEARS !!!! -- the Civil War was over in 4, World War I was over in 4 and the United States involvement in World War II was less than 4) of being the aggressor in Egypt's back yard.

I predicted 2011 would end up a LOT different than it started . . . I have also been saying for the past 6-8 months that people were not stupid, they were "figuring it out" and that a "Marie Antoinette moment" would soon arrive.

"Let them eat cake?" . . . I don't think so -- read a history book. Oppressive regimes always run into troubles some time or another, which is why the beautiful balance previously maintained by the United States was so precious. "Greed kills" and Egypt is the alarm clock that should be ringing all over every executive's office on Wall Street.

I am truly curious how the actions of the Egyptian military will be seen by American soldiers who have to know they've been used as paid security forces for corporations; many of these soldiers are, really -- when you think about it, psychologically abused in the process.

Also, shouldn't they have uniforms that look like Nascar drivers: the 3rd Armored Division sponsored by Target and Frigidaire? How will service men and women react to what's happening with the Egyptian military, who are openly saying the Army "would not use force to silence 'legitimate' demands for democratic reforms in the Arab world's largest country?" That is an interesting question.

The Army is publicly saying that the issues with President Mubarek are "legit" . . . amazing, but to me, truthfully, not surprising. I didn't "predict" this specific event was going to happen -- but I have been saying that this type of reaction in the Middle East was inevitable and it was only a matter of time until it did, so, in a general way, I outlined the trends pretty clearly. 2011 is going to be an "interesting" year.

There is a delicate balance that needs to be maintained between greed and oppression, in order for a nation to prosper. Over the past 10 years, it was pushed WAY out of alignment and now, the pendulum "shifts".

Business Opportunities for 2011

2011-04-19T11:56:00.000-07:00

*Originally posted January 24, 2011

Later this week, I will be taping an episode of "Past Lives, Present Lessons" with Tanya Douglas and Stacy Lupinacci (to be broadcast, February 1 on Z Talk Radio) and, as I usually do twice a year, I will give my "predictions" for what I see in the upcoming year.

Today, I want to focus on business opportunities -- even though I feel there are still a few "issues" yet to be worked out (these likely involve, among others, alterations and possible reductions in current pension programs, as well as some likely fluctuations in the currency market), overall I believe 2011 actually offers many opportunities for positive growth.

I think the tidal wave of conservatism is coming to a close; honestly I do . . . not that those "purists" who hold those views will change but those who only hold them because it is in style to do so -- I think they're about to switch sides. I also think companies with a more service-oriented business model will prosper while those who are strictly "bottom line" are likely to lose market share.

In other words, people want to feel as if you like them and if companies provide a loving happy environment, they are likely to be rewarded. There has been a rather remarkable rhetorical shift in America over the past 10 years and citizens of the United States, hopefully, will soon revert back to a more civil style of speaking with one another, one in which respect matters and bullying and name-calling slows down. This attitude sadly permeates much of our national discourse regarding economics and politics. I believe the "market" for that is fading and the need for more balanced middle of the road action is becoming more pressing.

Businesses will succeed or fail to the extent that they are aligned with predominant values in the market place -- so my statements so far indicate my belief that fundamental expectations about how the markets operate -- and for what purpose -- are also likely to change. My expectation is that more and more people will migrate OUT of major cities and look towards a more agrarian, slower-paced existence. The Go Go years are winding down -- and I think that's good.

Much of the manufacturing base of the United States has eroded and so the demographic model driven by migratory patterns of workers moving towards manufacturing will soon end and, if so, there is every indication that people will start going the other direction. There are a lot of places in America with decent housing opportunities that people will likely see as attractive once it becomes more common to work in virtual worlds.

Big cities often have big problems and fiscal issues in major urban centers are likely to be VERY problematic, very soon.

Businesses likely to show big gains in 2011?

1. Home health care. Medical costs, as we all know, have skyrocketed and as the population ages and hospital space becomes more crowded and more expensive (and, conversely, less effective) the move towards alternative support models will likely increase. Service providers who have competent models in place, with polite workers with at least a minimum standard core competency, (provided they provide a service that is priced correctly), could do very well in the next few years.

Improvements in self-diagnostic tools, both in price and portability, will soon become available and more effective means for online monitoring is, in my opinion, just around the corner.

This means that a booming business, for someone, is also right around the corner. Large hospitals will become more and more the last resort for consumers going forward. Just as the strip mall influenced retail patterns over the past 50 years, so too will the drive for more convenience in seeking medical care cut in to the large downtown department store hospital. People liked the fancy store with all the trimmings better, but it was quicker and easier to go 5 blocks and just pick up a couple of things, unless it was a special occasion or need.

Advances in health care diagnostics -- not necessarily care, itself but rather the ability to quickly diagnose problems -- will revolutionize medicine. More than anything, and this includes ALL other forms of technology, I believe the marriage of the computer with medicine will be the biggest business driver of the next 10 years . . . which makes the fact that I walked away from a career in which I had a very high end expertise in this world perhaps all the sadder :(

but. no matter . . .

Laser therapies will also become more common and more effective over the next couple of years, as well.

2. Transportation and Logistics. Getting things from Point A to Point B -- once fuel prices start climbing (as I predict they will) -- is something that will likely involve more planning and effective utilization of resources than in years past. Companies that can co-ordinate movement, in essence be "motion brokers", also stand to do very well in 2011.

How will this work? As shipping costs become more expensive, providing a service to small companies and individual consumers in which you co-ordinate "bundling" shipments -- so that mid-sized shipments are "volume-priced" and customer service costs for the transport company are diminished -- will also be an area where a better mousetrap will catch more mice.

3. Alternative Energy Sources. Soon, the strangle-hold of oil and gas companies will weaken and more alternative, "green" energy sources will be "in style". Transporting alternative energy sources (see above) will be a big business in the next 15-20 years, I believe, and people with an expertise in "upgrading" existing homes to meet new regulations and take advantage of the options for more "Jetsons" - like technological improvements in the home will also do quite well.

The United States economy has taken a tremendous hit and, on the whole, I believe it will rebound. BUT -- the major players will be different and an entire generation, of which I came along at the tail end, "the Baby Boomers" will find that "the better world" they were given was squandered by their own greed and so the "Golden Years" they imagined may not turn out quite the way they'd like.

Because of that, I expect there to be a pool of intelligent older workers who will continue to be part of the work force for years to come, mainly out of necessity . . . but as things begin to shift upwards, this older work force will actually turn out to be a positive driver towards more economic growth.

4. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Billy Bob's Techno-Chat BBQ and Madame Zelda's Virtual Playland -- social networking will be BIG -- until it stops . . . so here is my expectation for Social Networks going forward. The internet has opened up the whole world -- I have clients in Europe and Asia, as well as Canada and the Middle East . . . this couldn't really happen this way WITHOUT the internet.

BUT -- my honest opinion is that local is where it's at and more and more people will soon get off the internet and spend more time interacting with their neighbors . . . what's old is new again.

The internet will change how people get news but it will not, ultimately, change how people interact with one another. I expect a big spike upward, short-term, followed by a gradual decline. Over the next 2-3 years, more and more and MORE money will be poured in to social networking but that trend probably, in the grand scheme of things, won't last that long. In a couple of years, I expect it to slow down -- gradually at first, then quite a bit. People matter -- live, I can see you and touch you people . . . and so I think that need for real people will drive down the rates of growth for social networks.

Part of all this bells and whistles can't have 2 minutes of quiet time attitude is driven, I really do believe, by a desire to "brain wash" the average person . . . slow steady hypnotic pin ball games of the mind . . . that, too, in my opinion, is soon to change.

The good news for 2011? People are smarter than a small group of Harvard-trained bankers think they are and soon, quite soon, the world is going to change. There are hiccups and hurts on our door step. BUT, for me, I believe that soon things will turn around and the world will be a better place.

The chance for catastrophic war is there -- in many ways, a higher probability than ever. Economic ruin -- that possibility is also staring us in the face . . . but I still feel as if the world will shift to a more loving balanced energy and I think the evidence for that shift starts to appear this year.

2011 -- soon the shit and the fan may have kind of a dangerous collision once the light bulbs turn on in those who advocated a radical conservative agenda ('cause they wanted to be part of the "group") -- not realizing that the "other" group, the one they looked down upon, would soon include them. Spring will be that "interesting time" the Chinese talk about. But, no matter, this is still a magical year . . . however, as Carl Jung once told us, "there is no coming to consciousness without pain."

That pain is right around the corner.

A plan, executed with ruthless skill, designed to destroy the middle class and steal the only thing people truly have, the value of their labor. A dangling carrot, boiled in oil, cut off right before unbelieving eyes. You've been fucked, and not in the happy oh baby orgasmic kind of way. I have offered dire economic predictions every January for the past 5 years and this, in one sense, is no different.

Back in 2007, I started publicly saying that soon States would go bankrupt -- something I don't remember other psychics, or anyone else for that matter, talking about. All part of an interesting, planned in advance, assault on the working class :( . . . I also said there would be "ghost towns" and I wasn't talking about Sunnyvale, South Dakota.

Major cities, with no work, no funds to maintain themselves . . . not a fun time.

And there's more. I wrote about it and did over a thousand hours on air talking about it . . . that "unbelievable ridiculous scenario" that I outlined, in detail, has played out almost exactly as I said it would . . .

I predicted radical reductions in state services, radical reductions in the number of policemen and firemen, predicted a public education system in crisis (I mean, who wants poor kids who can think) . . . basic infrastructure problems at every turn . . . we now have counties digging up paved roads and using gravel, cities without enough electricity to burn street lights, "brown outs" with no district fire departments -- here is a direct quote of mine, from 2007-2008, that I repeated quite a bit.

I said soon "if you have a fire in your home you had better have your Master Card ready and your Fire Safety Provider on speed dial . . . or bummer fuckn day."

So, with the wind in the sails that comes from a history of betting against the house -- and winning . . . I expect March and April to be, how should I say it, "stressful".

However, no matter what happens over the next few months, I still believe 2011 is a golden time . . . I do; there are still heads left to roll, futures to be destroyed, dreams to die. But, even still, 2011 . . . ultimately . . . is when things begin looking up.

Just not quite yet.

If I could have taken another road to get to where I am, without giving so much along the way, I would have gladly taken it. If I had been able to carry everything with me, surely I would have done that, too. And perhaps that way was there -- but I couldn't see it and so I took the only road I could find in the darkness, hoping it was the right one.

I never knew what would happen, where I would end up; this was no package tour. The tourists didn't go there . . . even the crazies feared where I was headed but . . . I could hear something and so I was curious and left the house and wandered after it -- a child chasing a butterfly, a god-thirsty beggar chasing a dream.

All things of value come with a price and I have accumulated lots of information, brochures from the highway, as a result of following my own unique Siren's call. I am happy with where I landed and the trip, even though there were skinned-up knees and sleepless nights, is filled with stories that I cherish, memories that your safety net couldn't hold -- no matter how long and winding it may have been.

I have seen things and I continue this wandering path towards . . .

The Separation

It's really interesting how each year over the past 5 my predictions for the upcoming year's "trend line" were all thought unlikely to happen (and, of course, for the most part the year did, in fact, play out pretty much just the way I said it would) and it holds true again this year, too -- only in a completely different way. In the past my "predictions" were seen as perhaps too harsh, foreclosures and floods, bankrupt state's, massive long-term unemployment, political corruption and wars that dragged on and on and ON -- while this year seems, so far, like Hell Reborn yet I keep saying it will be a wonderful vibrant positive time.

I still believe that and will say it again -- 2011 is a magical year. You'll see over the next 12 months that's true, no matter what happens until then. I also believe this will be a "sorting out" year . . . not between "the haves" and "the fucked" (my rather accurate, I think, description from back in 2007 of the "two classes" to emerge from what I kept shouting would soon be a very DRAMATIC economic "correction") . . .

but between "the attuned" and "the tone-deaf".

This is THE YEAR when the spiritually attuned "see" . . . when the promises of the heart and the faint echoes of the spirit begin to make sense. The energy is different now, the air is different . . . the wind will blow in the direction of good for those who can feel her breath; the sky will turn colors for those with eyes perceptive enough to see the variants . . . for those "plugged in" to their spiritual core, THIS is the beginning of something truly beautiful.

When is "enough" simply too much?

2011-04-19T11:50:00.000-07:00

When I was young, I worked hard, really hard, to be "cool" -- I made myself (and made is the proper word, here) into the ULTIMATE pretty boy jock thang because I felt, for a whole host of reasons, that I just "wasn't good enough" without it.

This was great, up to a point, but my relationships really became just a series of "yes votes" as to how successful (or not) I was in that pursuit of physical beauty and athletic skill. The need to "prove" was too strong; it was all that mattered.

I couldn't "accept love" because it was all about "proving I deserved it". I didn't care about money or security or anything else -- it was the pursuit of physical "perfection" that drove me. If I worked out 4 hours on Tuesday, my goal was 5 (or more) on Thursday . . . four hours of basketball every day, 5 hour tennis matches, then an hour running steps in the parking garage behind the hospital.

But no matter how much I did, or how fit or how beautiful -- no matter how many girls, no matter how much of whatever the yardstick of the day might be -- it was never, truly never, enough. I could never be happy where I was because I was always trying to "add to my stats". A faster time in the 40, more home runs than the week before, the best player on the court (basketball OR tennis) . . . the most girls, the best-looking girls . . . no matter what I had -- or who I was with . . .

it was never

Enough.

I don't think I am alone with this, either. I also think it is likely more common now, as well, than it was back then. I bring all this up to make this point . . . all that work, all that effort was done not in the pursuit of some lofty athletic goal -- it was done out of fear. Pure and simple.

The fear that I had "no value" unless I was a star athlete, a "stud". It was also based on some compensatory yardstick, too -- since I had failed "to prove it" in the way I'd have liked when I was 15, the need to prove it over and over and over again all throughout my twenties AND thirties (and, to a lesser extent, believe it or not, my forties, too) was incredible. Totally obsessive. Petal to the metal . . . all the time.

The fear never really subsided that I didn't truly "deserve love", that I wasn't good "enough". Probably most of us have, at one time or another, gone through a period in which we felt too fat or too thin or too poor or too something. Too much of something bad, not quite enough of something good.

Conditional love -- with an unrealistic measuring stick perhaps making it even more unattainable. I wasted so much time worrying about what other people thought, basing my self-esteem on their opinions, totally incapable of loving myself without an audience or a trophy. It was a waste -- not the doing, that was fine.

It was the fear that without this "approval" I was nothing. THAT was the waste.

It was hard for me to get past that, as I imagine it may be for others. But love is not ONLY about playing shortstop or having a 29 inch waist. It is about accepting who you are and being content in your skin . . . contentment, I believe, is a key piece in finding, accepting, and ultimately sharing in a loving working partnership.

Believe in yourself. I tried so hard to "prove" myself that I failed to realize it was impossible "to prove anything" going about it the way I was. I was too lost. Young girls starving themselves, getting cosmetic surgery or breast enhancements when they're 13. Boys taking steroids . . . pushing soooo hard. At what point does this artificial barometer become oppressive?

When is "enough" simply too much?

Dot Com Redux

2011-01-12T12:54:00.001-08:00

The dot coms have come and dot gone, dot gummit; the housing bubble ?? -- well I think that's passed -- but, nonetheless, it seems likely to me that gamblers gotta gamble on something. So I expect another Venture Capitalized pre-IPO tech boom to start VERY shortly . . . geared towards 3 primary areas (a) "green" energy (and the technology to support it), (b) "home" health care (which will change the landscape for people working in health care, very dramatically, I expect, within the next 10 -15 years) and . . . (c) competitors to Facebook. Social Networks are, imo, part of the next BIG boom / bubble.

2011 is likely to look a whole lot different than 2009/2010.

I have sat on the sidelines watching the economy crumbling but the steam that drives that train is still smoking. A lot of people were crushed in the last wave -- but the survivors are in a strong position to move forward. I think 2011 is truly going to be an entertaining year -- one that could see movement forward in several areas that, on the surface at least, may appear contradictory.

2011 is not going to be a year that will be easy, for most, to predict. A magical time, but a time of intrigue, as well. Hold on tight, 'cause this year is the time to fly. 2011 is NOT a year to sit back, it is not a year to sleep through . . . it is a time to make things happen.

Businesses will soon come, cash in hand, moving towards the next big thing. And that big thing is driven by technology and health care . . . cars will soon be replaced (yes I said "replaced") by a better way to get around. It may take 30-40 years to fully do it but it would not surprise me within the next 2-3 years to see very specific plans -- and the shell of the technology to drive it -- already on the table. There will also be a very strong secondary market emerging -- what to do with the parts? Technology to recycle and re-use old tires and fenders will be VERY important before 2050.

Food will soon go back to a more "natural" state. GMO's (Genetically Modified) will face greater and greater resistance. Thank a hippie tree hugger next time you see one (and I think I fit into this category) because this, too, I believe is coming. Many HUGE corporations will soon be split into smaller, more manageable subs . . . Employment opportunities will be abundant within 12 months; this after 3 years of virtual 15-20 % unemployment -- although wages will not likely return to "pre-crash" levels for most people.

However, all in all, I think 2011 will be a positive year. I would expect this to be revved up and rolling by . . . August.

Love and Fear and all THAT

2011-01-12T12:53:00.001-08:00

It is by opening again to love that I open once again to everything else. All I used to have (and more) will come back to me now that I have worked through this terrible fear -- the fear that you could love so much that losing it would, literally, kill you.

I was never like this before my darling baby Lehna died and it has taken me quite a while to come back (almost 5 years). But the lesson I've learned is this -- to deny love because you're afraid is to be a member of the walking dead. Love (for me and I expect for others, too) is LIFE :)

I am thankful for so much . . . but it is my ability once more to love, without fear, that has re-awakened me. I have lived flat out in many ways, a high wire act with a flimsy net but, still, all that was done with a closed heart. I was daring life, really, to just take me. Just . . . fucking . . . take . . . me.

I was daring it . . . and now -- I have stopped taking, and issuing, that dare.

Love heals. That I know; that is what the past 5 years has taught me.

Soul Mate Attraction Tip #1

2011-01-12T12:52:00.000-08:00

My first piece of advice if you're trying to "attract" your soul partner in to your life is to be clear about who you are and WHY you want this partner to "show up". Many of us get in to relationships because we think it will "fill something" we don't really (if we were true to ourselves) need filled.

Know yourself and be honest about who you really are and what you need in a partner; skip all the Hollywood Make-Over nonsense -- really get inside yourself and listen . . . in order to find someone you can really love, you have to (a) first love yourself and (b) know yourself well enough so that you can tell, and silently express, that "truth" to your partner.

It is also much better to be a little less than "perfect" than pretend you're something you're not -- 'cause it will it come out eventually. Be truthful, right up front, warts and all.

To find your soul partner, you must first find yourself. Be happy, too, with what you find. Think of it this way, if YOU don't like yourself, why would anybody else? It's like a bad Marx Brothers routine -- you wouldn't want any partner who would have you.

A soul mate is someone who typically enters your life to help you get back "on track" in order to better manifest the optimal path for your soul's evolution. Not all soul mates, then, are romantic partners just as not all romantic partners are soul mates.

But . . . to find that deep, spiritual Give praise to life PARTNER, my suggestion is to do kind things, be in a space of giving and forgiveness. Try to feel optimistic. Smile.

Be open to magic. Love YOURSELF first :)

Love, Karma, and Fulfillment

2011-01-12T12:49:00.000-08:00

Imagine a lover who actually pays attention to your needs; someone who is responsive to your touch, aware of your moods . . . someone who is encouraging, inspiring, for the most part non-judgmental, who listens to what you say, reaches out when you're feeling blue. Someone who is . . .

Awake.

Imagine a relationship in which your self-esteem is strengthened rather than crushed, your sense of security enhanced, your sense of purpose encouraged . . . a relationship with a partner who says "be who you are, because I will be here".

Imagine it.

Many people, sadly, cannot imagine it. Their history has been littered with too many disappointments, too many lies and half-truths, emotions that are changeable, triggers long hidden that are quickly (and unexpectedly) pulled, old wounds reborn . . . this in addition to the tides of change possibly raging from the outside world -- money, war, job loss, illness.

It's not easy to be in love.

But I believe you can LEARN to be a better partner (and therefore increase your chances of finding your beloved), just as I believe you can learn to be a better tennis player or violinist. There are a few "skills" which go a long way in helping allow that to happen: active listening is one of the most important.

For psychics, one of the biggest problems most young or amateur psychics have is they can't detach when something "reminds" them of something else. They may have a vague notion of someone and that "someone" reminds them of another person from their past -- a person who may illicit certain emotions in the psychic (due to their shared history) that "distort" the ability of the psychic to be fully present and see that individual "as they are".

Most of us can probably see how this relates to relationships; one of the partners hears something that triggers The History Channel to suddenly turn on and, before long, the emotions coming to the surface have nothing to do with what's being said -- they are, instead, reactions to something from the past . . . not so good, of course, for the present.

Listening skills, in combination with a sense of calmness (which can also be enhanced through a concentrated. focused effort), increase the likelihood that your reactions to your partner are grounded in a positive "NOW" as opposed to a battleground of memories and old baggage that will soon distort and potentially cripple the current bonds you may have.

Over the next few weeks I will continue to write brief pieces about relationships and personal growth. All of us can find love -- ONCE WE STOP looking for it to be our "answer". No other person can love YOU enough to make you love YOURSELF. That is something only you can do . . . and until that happens, no partner will EVER be "it".

But, little by little, you CAN work to maximize your "love potential" and increase the probability of love and happiness walking in to your life . . . and staying for awhile. More to come . . .

For everyone in this magical year of 2011, I do, truly, wish you LOVE :)

Tune out and Tune in

2011-01-05T01:35:00.001-08:00

A lot has been happening in my world, of late -- both internally AND externally. I am getting "serious" again, too, about my "training" regime as a psychic -- even though I have stopped actively seeking clients (odd, perhaps -- but true). One of the foundation pieces to my work has always been done through a hybrid of yoga and guided visualizations but these meditations are, basically, "channeled" . . . my old joke that "the street value of what I can do in my head I couldn't afford" is absolutely true :)

I studied privately with noted channeler Sanaya Roman back when I was a young sprout and I can, literally, turn it on and off any time I want. 2011 is a time when the satellite beams are kickn . . . it is a time, I believe, when those of us of a somewhat mystical bent can tap in to energy/information in a clearer, more unobstructed way. It is like listening to the radio on a clear night -- the air is crisp, the "energy" more pure, more easily accessible.

It is truly a magical / magickal time . . . a time to get quiet and turn the channel ON :)

2011 -- A Look Forward

2011-01-05T01:34:00.001-08:00

This year is THE year for many of us to walk fully upright in to a new golden light of forgiveness and awareness and love. It really is a golden time. You may be asking yourself, though: How do I, personally, do that?

Unfortunately, the past few years have been marked, primarily, by greed, darkness, deceit. It was a time when the wool was purposely pulled over the proverbial widow's eye, when so much was back room smoke and mirrors -- a time of dense throbbing energy.

That energy, though, is shifting. Slowly, perhaps -- but the shift has already begun.

There is a lightness in the ether; the air is "charged". I feel it. Literally . . . I feel it.

Many of you are struggling, perhaps, feeling your poverty, unworthiness . . . lack of love or self-respect. I understand that.

But . . . by aligning yourself with this higher vibration many of you will soon leap-frog into higher states of consciousness in ways you've never done, at a speed that may astound you. It is a sign of the times. Truly, it is.

Each week, suggest to yourself that you are getting stronger, that your connection to a higher source is increasing. See it happening. Do an act of kindness, "old school" pay it forward thinking.

The shift is happening at a personal level and those independent personal "upgrades" are causing a new vibration, a new "hum" to circulate . . . the winds are blowing, softly, with a smooth golden kiss.

I gave up all I had, walked totally naked in the darkness, passed up every safety net -- burned every bridge I could. I did this so I would gain insight in to the "other side", the lower vibrations -- primarily so that I would better recognize the time when the tides began to turn.

That time -- is happening now. 2011 is the magical year, not 2012. Embrace love right now and your world will CHANGE. That is my message for 2011 . . .

2010 -- A look back at . . . "Predictions"

2011-01-05T01:33:00.000-08:00

As I am moving out of the psychic game and in to some hybrid analyst/helper/guru/witch/white-shirt kind of combo, I wanted to take a moment and look back at some of the predictions I had made publicly on radio shows and in print for 2010 . . . nobody is 100 % accurate so anyone who says "I am always accurate" is . . . well -- lying, how's that.

And there are a host of British rock stars sleeping off a late night ushering in the New Year, thankful they were not killed in a plane crash, as I had predicted one of them would.

But, overall, I think I had a fairly good year :)

This time last year, many psychics were talking about earthquakes as the big news for 2010 . . . I said something different.

I said 2010 would be remembered as "The Year of the Flood". I predicted a wave of floods across the world, like no one had ever seen -- literally the worst floods in anyone's memory. Not just that there would be a flood here and there -- Biblical floods, all over the world, with incredible property damage and rainfall that just seemed, how should I say it, "unusual".

In the Summer, during the midst of the Gulf Crisis, I was asked about hurricanes. Several psychics predicted a big hurricane season. I said the opposite. I assumed that the Summer and Fall would be relatively quiet, which it was.

My major area of focus has always been economics and my statements in January, 2009 that Pres. Obama would not only NOT be FDR, but more likely Herbert Hoover, and that unemployment and economic travails would continue for the next year, or two -- at a scale unimaginable to most people . . . well sadly that is also just what happened. I repeated that in January, 2010, saying that 2010 would not be quite so bad as 2009 but the long-term impact would begin to have dramatic consequences and, at a minimum, get old.

More of the same in 2010, as I had predicted in 2008 and 2009. I said publicly many times (since early in 2007) that the "2012 Consciousness" would begin right around September 15, 2008 -- sometime that week. It turns out that the FIRST "bailout" -- the actual term I had used in my published writings about what I expected to happen when the shoe dropped and the elite needed money to save them -- was introduced THAT WEEK and the mind sets of most Americans has never quite been the same ever since.

I also said that "the real 2012" was not in 2012 but rather in 2010, specifically between May 1 and October 31 -- that is when I felt Hell would be unleashed . . . again, when many other psychics were predicting earthquakes, I said the big news for 2010 would be floods -- "floods like people have never seen" -- the floods in Nashville started right around May 1st . . .

the well in the Gulf erupted the last week of April and that was the coin flip to start Crud Bowl XV. Unemployment problems continued and the general mood of the country was not too rockn good.

In 2009, I wrote that there would be a banking "crisis" at the end of the Summer, 2010, sometime around mid-September. In early October (and in predictions of these nature I always give myself a 3-4 week window either side) we had "forclosuregate" and my prediction of a bailout right after (and I repeated this again on air at the end of July) is happening with the Federal Reserve "buying" $600 Billion in Treasury Bonds.

In the Spring, when Pres. Obama's health care plan was introduced, many people saw this as a major victory. I said, literally that day, there would be long and nasty legal battles on the horizon and that people should not expect this any time soon. Nine months later, the legal battles continue.

I also said States and Cities would have HUGE economic problems and basic services would likely be cut. I started talking about this publicly back in 2007 but last year, sadly, saw dramatic confirmation of just how true that prediction was.

I also stated in February that there would soon be major political scandals coming out and within the next month or two there were several. I predicted the Saints in the Super Bowl, even saying the victory would be sealed with a long interception return for a TD and accurately predicted The Stanley Cup, but I missed the NBA playoffs, saying the Celtics would win a close 7 game series. I got every game right through the first six but missed my shot at the end.

All in all, a pretty fair year . . . I continue to get emails all the time telling me something I said that seemed impossible did, in fact, come to pass. I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be, 98 % accurate but I feel as if I'm "pretty good" and I have not backed off from making bold statements and taking responsibility for making them.

I have "proven my point", at least to myself, and now I want to "move on" to other things. But, for the past few years, I have tried my best to share my vision and be helpful.

Wishing you all a beautiful and happy 2011.

Alchemy on a Wednesday Morning

2011-01-05T01:32:00.002-08:00

In making predictions, the trick is in the details. The more specific, the more precise -- the greater the gift. With spiritual transformation, with the alchemy of moving from a place of density towards one of light, it is just the opposite. It is the shades of gray, the light flickering in the inner cave of the soul . . . riddles and mystery.

Transformation takes time, the seed grows -- alchemy is real but the Gold one seeks is not really Gold, after all. The reward is different than what it says in the brochure.

Art, poetry, music, sex . . . flowers that bloom -- all these are doorways. There is a world, a spiritual world, that is just as real as the one most of us see. It is tangible . . . you can touch it, but not with your fingers. You can taste it, but not with your tongue.

This earth is a prison or a paradise, it is up to you. When the inner and the outer become one . . . then this world IS paradise. The pearl of great price is not easily found but it is always nearby. It rests within you.

The Tennis Player and the Shaman

2011-01-05T01:32:00.001-08:00

In high school my two "primary" girl friends were both tennis players, Melanie (who played 1st and 2nd doubles) and Tari, who was the star of the team, daughter of the most famous athlete in the city, and ranked as one of the top Juniors in the Midwest. Back then, usually the only people who played tennis were people who were members of a country club and my father worked in a factory as a crane operator so no country club for me.

As a result, I had never really played tennis but, due to Tari and Mel, I was able to go to the country club as their guest and I started playing with them.

At first -- I just got killed, especially by Tari who found it oh so entertaining. After a while though, I started being pretty competitive and within a few months I was not only beating them, I was actually beating everyone else.

It was weird, but pretty cool and when I went to college I was playing, and beating, everyone . . . even guys who had played on their Tennis teams in high school. I was going to Ohio State so there was zero chance of me walking on as a tennis player but, year after year, I just kept getting better and better until I got to the point where I could play and hold my own against very high-level players.

But I could never beat them.

A few people suggested to me that I could play professionally. Of course, that was nonsense, as I was already in my twenties and would be going against players who had played since they were 5 -- but eventually I figured out, from talking to other college players and coaches, that my issue was not age or athletic ability . . . it was lack of fundamentals.

I was a converted basketball player and as long as it was about speed and hitting the ball back really hard, then for most people I was too good but when I ran in to players of equal natural ability who were grounded in basic fundamentals of the game, then it was all over. I couldn't compete.

The only way I had a chance to rise to the next level was to "unlearn" all the things that had gotten me as far as I had and, basically, start over. Of course, this would have been a slow and painful process and, with no guarantee of success and an absolute guarantee of lots and lots of frustration, I never bothered . . .

Fast forward 25 years to another area in which, seemingly out of nowhere, I found that I was able to perform at a very high level based strictly on natural talent without having any basic training in the "fundamentals" -- business. I was able to bluff my way through primarily because I was (a) a fast learner and (b) one HELL OF A TALKER :)

And since I was getting perks and rising quickly I never bothered to stop and "unlearn" my tricks and ground myself in the fundamentals. I was doing too well and I didn't need to play with the best; life was good just where I was.

Ironically, over the past 4 years I have had the opportunity to step away from business and during that time I went through what I call "the shamanic roto-rooter" -- i.e. a personal and professional "crisis". But the beauty of my time of "crisis" is that I stopped relying on some of my old "tricks" and started thinking, really thinking, about what REALLY worked . . . and why.

I wouldn't have willingly "stopped" and gone back to square one (just as I wouldn't have years ago to upgrade my skills as a tennis player) but over the past few years I have had the "luxury" of studying myself and what I did (and didn't do) that worked most effectively.

I have "unlearned" and so now have the "chance" to put things back together again "the right way" -- which maximizes the chances of me performing at an even higher level than ever before. Some sports, like basketball, I got really good at but it was work -- a lot of work and my natural skills weren't enough . . . I had to practice practice practice. But tennis was different. I could quit for a couple of years, never pick up a racket and then poof -- be playing at a very high level 15 minutes later.

Psychic ability was like basketball. I worked at it, for a long time; I got good at it but only after putting in years and years of work. Tennis wasn't like that. Same thing with business . . . for some reason, I just seemed "to be good at it".

The moral of the story is this -- if you expect to perform at a high-level at anything your chances are increased dramatically by being thoroughly grounded in the "fundamentals of the game". As an athlete, I think people understand that but -- as a psychic, people typically don't. Most people, it seems, think that you should be able to just skip the hard work and get "to the good stuff".

I see this attitude over and over. I try, in my own way, to say "hey, it's not like that" but my speech is not a popular one. But, popular or not, it's true.

Going forward, I only want to work with people who, like me, want to perform at the highest level possible and are willing to put in the sweat equity to make it happen. This is why I am shifting gears, and focus . . .

I see "how it works" and why and after all these years of study and reflection I have figured out that my most natural talent is in business, more than any other. Ironic in one sense but also, I think, absolutely . . . true.

Time has come today !!

2010-11-19T11:34:00.000-08:00

I tried to warn people, as quite a few others did as well, that the economy was slip slidin' into an unhappy part of town. Not a lot of people wanted to hear that.

I tried to warn people, in spite of their resistance, that this would "change" not only the day to day experiences of millions of people, but would burn deep in to the soul of those whose lives were thrown helter skelter in to the statistical hodge podge that foreclosures and long-term unemployment would put them, setting the stage for a "revolution in consciousness" that would erupt, one day, from deep within.

Changes, real changes, in thought and deed typically don't come quickly and they don't come without a lot of bumps and bruises. Carl Jung said "there is no coming to consciousness without pain" . . . sadly, for a lot of people, that pain has hit hard. The time has come, now, though -- truly, to wake up. Change the world.

As artists and people of color and heart, it is time to band together, more and more, in an emotional and logistical "tribe" . . . it is time, I believe, to step up and walk in to this "new time" -- 'cause I see it, just as I saw the economic time bombs waiting to go off, I see this, too. Time for love, time for sharing, time for a better world.

The time is now.

Alicia Kent, Jin Shin Do

2010-11-19T11:28:00.000-08:00

Even though I am a professional psychic, sort of famous as a "remote viewer" and as someone who "reads past lives", I am still fairly skeptical. I don't buy everything I hear.

Recently, I became acquainted with the work of Alicia Kent. Alicia practices Jin Shin Do, a form of body mind acupressure -- a technique that utilizes much of the logic of acupuncture, but without the needles. Alicia is able, with just her hands, to locate "issues" which are stored within the cellular memory of the body and, just by touching and activating certain key points within the body, she is able to help release not only the "residual emotional baggage" stored within but also (which she did quite dramatically for me) help alleviate physical pain held within the body, as well.

Alicia has an interesting and relevant background for this type of work. Before her education and apprenticeship in Jin Shin Do, she worked for almost 30 years as a medical researcher and lab scientist in a major hospital. She is fully grounded in the sciences and her understanding of, and history with, biochemistry and health care underscores her understanding of the types of pain and trauma likely stored within the cellular memory of her clients.

She is a caring person and bedside manner "matters". She is a good listener, compassionate, with a quick smile and a warm heart. She is able, through just the use of her hands, to assist individuals with self-healing. I have had several personal sessions with Alicia and each one helped me "release" old out-dated patterns of thinking and also, as I mentioned earlier, helped tremendously in dealing with long-term pain in my right shoulder (the result of a dirt bike accident 16 years ago).

After just 2 sessions with Alicia, I was measurably stronger than I have been in years, able to do 40 push ups, when a few years back the pain in my shoulder was so great that I could only do 2 before giving up. I believe, very strongly, that Alicia's work is the reason I can do this now.

I recommend her work without hesitation. She is an intelligent, caring professional and her work ethic is exemplary. I think she is fantastic.

Love Vibe

2010-11-19T11:26:00.000-08:00

You have come in to this world in order to find a partner, whether that be a tree or a bird or a three toed sloth or what you would call a romance. The integration of the Divine Essence is made whole through stepping in to that space between . . . the external drum beat which separates the physical shell from the surrounding ether. Only by allowing that external thought in to the internal physical shell can one become open to wholeness.

Because wholeness, the live recognition that all within is accomplished through connection without, is the beauty of this world and that beauty is the wish of the Divine Creator. To breath a still sweet breath through your nostrils, that is bliss and for that you are alive. Each breath is a gift and it is through the breath that one steps in to this confirmation of Divine Love.

All things, all beings, all rays of light, are connected through a magnetic pulse. This pulse vibrates at various frequencies. Each change in vibratory levels awakens new sounds, smells, sensations -- literally a hum that is a whisper from God. Opening to these higher frequencies is accomplished first by opening to the world around you, in its natural state.

Love, piety, kindness . . . all are expressions of high vibratory states. Each thought directed outwards, each act of kindness, each aha moment seeing a child or a puppy or a rainbow or noble acts or heroic deeds -- there is nothing "hokey" about this, it is allowing the highest frequency of love to ooze in to your skin.

You can feel it in the skin . . . vibrating.

Try this . . . smell a flower or rub a piece of fruit along the side of your arm. Test the types of responses you feel. Each opening of the heart -- either through touch or taste or vision -- allows that higher frequency to "find you". You cannot find it, it finds you . . . because you send out "light beams", like an inner sonar system, that lets God know where you are.

Opening to nature, opening to Love . . . it sends out a signal to the universe that you are ready for a higher frequency. That is the path to enlightenment, the recognition that all is filled with this beautiful pulsing Divine Golden Light and knowing, and feeling, its gentle pulse beating strongly and confidently within :)

The Alchemy of Love

2010-11-19T11:24:00.000-08:00

Each child comes in to this life with an "optimal path" -- the highest integration of all the various talents and desires one has, all lined up and moving towards an expression of pure and total Love. This "optimal path" is based upon his or her genetics and past life "themes".

Then we lead whatever lives we lead. The difference is a fairly straight forward mathematical formula: "where we are" minus "what our optimal path should be" equals "our karma". I, somehow, am able to see both those states fairly well.

As a result, I am able to understand the wounds one has, whether they occurred first in this life or a previous existence, and help individuals integrate and heal from those wounds.

I have done a lot of work on myself over the years and, I think anyway, am starting to grow into a fairly integrated soul. As a result of that inner work, I was able to "see" my way towards meeting "self" in the form of "other" -- what you would call a "soul mate".

Since I, literally, channeled her name -- at a time when, based upon our respective paths and history, we were most likely to understand and appreciate the beauty of the other, I feel it safe to say that this "recognition" and "coming together" was a result of work I had done first on myself, literally magnetizing this connection to me at, initially, a soul level and then, after wards, live in 3-D here on the physical plane.

Alicia Kent and I have come together, partly as "soul partners" for each other but, on a different level, as co-creators of a way of seeing our lives that, in my opinion, is fairly unique. Her work with Jin Shi Do, along with my abilities as a clairvoyant and astrologer, serve as complementary modalities.

I have been reluctant, over the years, to step fully in to this "soul place", largely because I did not feel worthy to be there. There was always more to do, more books to read, bigger fish, etc etc etc. I don't feel that way any more.

I do believe I have "earned" -- based on my own internal thermostat -- the right to step in to that space, my divine space and share that divinity (which is within each of us) in a manner consistent with my "highest self". I have lived one life, in order to learn . . . now it is time to move in to a new life in order to teach.

All my past successes and failures -- and there have been plenty of both -- were simply puzzle pieces left along the road side for me, in some Great Cosmic Game, to scoop up and fit back together. I am there now, not close to there, not pretty much almost there . . . I am there.

Love is the answer. Because I "woke up" to God's Love for me (after Lehna died I was not in a "loving space" with Divine Law, and it took me a while to forgive God -- and myself -- for not protecting my darling baby), I also woke up to a love for myself, as a fully integrated conscious soul. Love of self IS love of God.

It is my journey back to that Love that underscores my career . . . I feel as if my work, truly, is at a higher level. Each year that passes, I grow stronger, see more clearly. But love, especially love for yourself, is the key to unlocking the mysteries of Spirit. There is a way back, a door to Love and understanding. I see it, finally, for what it is.

Outlaw Metaphysics

2010-11-19T11:21:00.000-08:00

The South is a magical place, filled with h’aints and witches, outlaws and wild child snake lovin’ top-hatted preachers, rebel ghosts and doe-eyed voodoo queens . . . it is a world where darkness and light sometimes cross paths, where beauty and decay walk hand in white-gloved hand to its own special beat. There are cities filled with spirits: Richmond, New Orleans, Franklin, Tennessee; cities where music lives deep in ground, welling up to a surface full of fire and fury: Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Muscle Shoals, Tupelo, Mississippi.

The South is both a place and a state of mind. My family is Southern; this means they are prone to certain ways, certain attitudes. A way they comb their hair, put dinner on the table . . . a certain type of music they listened to, and shared with me, as well as a fairly cohesive blue print for the types of choices I was expected to make, a legacy to carry with me and to always, always rebel against. But their attitude and style is still buried within; deep down inside it is still a part of my cognitive DNA.

My great-great many times great grandfather, John Brewer, was a member of the original House of Burgesses, the first elected body ever assembled in the colonies, in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1629, as was his son, years later. There are Southern aristocrats (six U.S. Presidents, three First Ladies -- and Thomas Lanier “Tennessee” Williams) as well as poor mountain people from East Tennessee, and the western Carolinas, dripping down from the Family Tree.

My grandfather, Terry Mainous, was BOTH Deputy Sheriff and Moonshiner -- down at the head of a holler looking up at the Appalachian Mountains in Eastern Kentucky, back before the Second World War. The blood of the Cherokee as well as the “last lost tribe”, the Melungeons, also pulses through my veins.

Attitude, history, DNA. Blood. The South, to a large extent, is felt in the blood.

My own personal journey has led me, for now, west to California, running back and forth between Hollywood and the San Francisco Bay. I have built a career, and a name (of sorts), over the years as a psychic and astrologer, known to many as The Rock n Roll Psychic. I have been on TV and radio hundreds of times, written books, designed Tarot and divination decks, worked as an actor in Hollywood and was twice selected for “Who’s Who in Business”, too !! Damn, what an interesting guy I am !!

During my twenties, I wandered around the country, chanting with Buddhists, hanging with artists and witches and rebels of various flavors, in an uncharted hunt and peck psychic pilgrimage. I read a lot and stubbed (and stepped on) many a toe, test-driving how best to understand these “things” circling around inside my head. Mr. Toad’s Wild Road, indeed. I am surely not the only one who woke up one day and saw that the world was “different” than the text books suggested.

As a little boy, I was fascinated by ESP and ghosts, reading Hans Holzer’s ghost books and Stranger than Science and anything else I could find. Later, I turned on to astrology and in my very early twenties, in a loft in downtown San Francisco, I took a class on “past life regression” which, very quickly, changed my life.

All this is part of my "karmic blueprint" . . . my genetics, my soul. My autobiography "Karmic Outlaw" will be done soon. My path has been a long and winding one but the South -- and the family tree, play a big big part . . . Outlaw Metaphysics, biting every hand that would feed me, shiny wool of the blackest black. The blackest black.

In Remembrance

2010-11-19T11:20:00.000-08:00

*Originally Posted October 8, 2010*
It has been a year today since the tragedy at James Ray's event where 3 souls lost their lives. My feeling is that too much of the "human potential" movement is geared towards personal empowerment and not enough towards love and community. In my opinion, WAY too much emphasis is placed on the acquisition of power and not enough on the beauty of surrendering to love and Divine acceptance. My hope is that, in my own work, I never lose sight of the true power of love and kindness.

I am very disheartened by so much that happens with "gurus" and other assorted teachers. I feel that it is really pretty simple: be kind to one another, remember we're all here together, try to have a happy thought, smile at a child, etc etc. It ain't that complicated.

The hard part, of course, is identifying where love has been withheld and what the lingering impact of that loss still is. I believe that love and community is truly the essence of spirituality and that kindness IS enlightenment.

Another irony -- and to me this is huge -- is that many of the latest round of "gurus" preach pushing yourself and awakening your own power, while at the same time so obviously setting themselves up as sources of authority. Stand up to everyone and everything -- but bow down to me. This is logically antithetical and, in its extreme form, nothing more than Black Magick, poorly staged.

If more focus had been placed on providing a nurturing environment and less on pushing people to "rise above" then perhaps these beautiful souls would not have perished. Sadly, it appears as if their desire to blend with the group was stronger than their own sense of self. In other words, their desire to awaken their power was thwarted by the conflict they must have felt in not living up to a higher authority -- in this particular case, James Ray, as well as all the other eager neophytes in the sweat lodge with them.

The more I learn of this, the sadder and angrier I become. Love is the answer and when I turn my eyes towards this tragic event a year ago today, it is the one thing I miss. I know many people, including Alicia, who were friends with the people who died and they are, justifiably, grieving. But the focus in our work must -- ABOVE ALL -- be "do no harm" and, in this case, it appears (to me, anyway) that James Ray cared too much about himself and too little about his students.

Grief is a terrible thing. I know . . . and for those who are grieving, my heart breaks for you. Truly, it does. But pushing yourself is one thing, pushing someone else an entirely different matter.

Reaching for some secret magickal incantation to wealth and personal power, which is what many people attending his events were really doing, is a dangerous thing. People want short-cuts, i-phone apps to fix it overnight and that is a problem. Power without restraint . . . that is a wildfire out of control and, to me, is also the theme of this tragic anniversary.

The "Lonely Ones"

2010-10-04T14:29:00.000-07:00

All gifts come with a price, the bigger the gift, the bigger the price, and there is a reason psychics are called "the lonely ones". It is very difficult to find a partner who can hang with you "knowing things", who can ride out that you can tell in seconds if a mood shifts . . . too often you become the therapist or the final stop on the "well, what's gonna happen now" gravy train. This is not the optimal formula for long-term romance.

For me, this strange gift came with an unusual bonus (or curse) twenty years past in that "potential relationships" were everywhere, literally, but they were more likely than not potentially dead ends since many of the women attracted to the handsome little clairvoyant were, deep down, too damaged themselves to have a "real relationship" and so, early on, I made the understandable choice to avoid them all as much as possible.

Of course, this was not all the "fault" of the women . . . psychics are also often there because they are damaged themselves and it takes a while to wrestle all these visions and voices into a coherent manageable pattern. So, in actuality, I was magnetizing the very dysfunction I was trying so desperately to rise above myself.

I have been doing readings long enough to know that, early on, people will turn love down for money and fame a million times but ultimately, at the end, it is lack of love that people feel most and all the money and adulation mean nothing if there is no one to love, no one to love you back . . . I have walked a winding road these past 55 years, not a trail most would walk but over these many long nights I have held in my mind's eye the idea -- and expectation -- that, one day, I would "figure it out", that I would find love and, when I found it, I knew it could only work if I had first found, and maintained, a way to love myself. I can't love another if I can't love myself.

That's what kills most relationships, you know -- the inability to love and forgive oneself. I have cursed fate a million times but today, with this new and totally different love in my heart, I feel (finally) at peace.

It is my belief that just as I have found (or been discovered by) a beautiful fellow soul traveler, it is also a sign (to myself) that if I can attract the love of such a special soul then perhaps I am not so bad myself . . . love heals and I love a woman who is by profession, and divine gift, a healer, herself.

I wish all of you the feeling I feel this very day . . . because lovers don't know fear -- another killer of romance, the fear that it will be taken away, that someone better, "more worthy", will come along.

But I am in love and so, by my own definition, I am fearless. The sky is blue and the birds are singing in this beautiful new world and I hope you find a way to join us. I found it when I was young but because I "saw things" others didn't, I took a different path and lost it; it is taken me a long time to follow that path and since this was a trail with few maps and fewer still who could walk with me, I thought I might never find love again but if I can, so, too can you. I wish you good tidings on your travels. No matter how long the trip, it is a beautiful feast once you arrive. I hope you find your way, back to the love of a special fellow soul but especially a love for yourself.

Truly, I wish this for you, all. I do -- I wish you love :)

Predictions

2010-10-04T14:25:00.000-07:00

Over the past 4 years (since I "came out" again as a psychic) I have felt that I couldn't (in good conscience) NOT talk about what I saw on the horizon with the United States economy. Part of my vision was purely analytical, but most of it was a clairoyant recognition that many factors were coming together that suggested BIG -- and also very negative -- changes were on the way that, to most, were "impossible" to imagine.

As psychics, we very often do, in fact, talk about "impossible" things that later prove to be quite possible. So, my "warnings" -- because I looked at them as just that -- were done from this context. IF these things DO happen, then it will not only play havoc with people's financial lives, on a more subtle (but also more damaging long-term) level it will "fuck with their heads".

As "lightworkers", it is our responsibility (I think) to be conscious of the state of mind of those around us. I won't answer your question "yes or no" with just a yes or no -- I want to look at what's behind the question. Probably most people think it is because I like to listen to myself talk hahahaha, but the real reason is that I want to get down to the root cause, so clients will have a better perspective on the cycle . . . if this happened now, why -- and, more importantly, what can I do to change this going forward?

So, I knew that if what I saw actually did come to pass then the collective "angst-o-meter" would be pretty high. I wanted people to be aware that this was coming, especially other psychics so they could deal with it themselves in order to better help those around them later on, who would surely be struggling and frightened. Hopefully, some listened and were able to make the adjustments necessary in order to stay in a positive frame of mind, no matter what was happenng around them short-term.

I feel as if the general energetic trend is now turning a corner. I have talked about this for the past year as something that I felt WOULD happen but now I feel that it IS going to be happening very soon. Hallelujah.

I talked, A LOT, about "2012 Consciousness" kicking in between May and October of 2010. I felt that this period would be the cleansing period -- not 2012, which I see as actually sort of a positive time. I am going to be in the minority then, too, saying happy days are coming when everyone will be storing cans and building bunkers in the back yard. I know it -- and so do most of you.

But the darkness is passing. It is a time of renewal. I feel that I am in a very positive space now, too -- I talked about these problems when nobody wanted to hear about them, and gave very concrete steps for dealing with them, as well, which, again, few could comprehend -- so, as a result, I have accrued a lot of "street cred" as BOTH seer and advocate for change.

Talking about all this "stuff" made my life more difficult at the time but it gives me an added power boost going forward. Since I talked about all this when few would, or could, if I now begin saying what people WANT to hear -- with the track record I have -- then I think it fair to say that my life is likely to improve quite dramatically, too.

Bottom line: I think better days are ahead :)

Business and Intuition

2010-10-04T14:20:00.000-07:00

While the economy was imploding and housing prices were falling so dramatically, I took some time to drop out of the world and have my "inner time". I kept the house in Antiioch for a couple of years longer than I should have and let the money drip drip away but I looked at it as "my monastery"and it was comfortable to me in that context.

I think soon the world will begin to rebound. This is good. As a result, I am also starting to rebound, and am returning once again to the world that once brought me money and toys, and afforded me the luxury of living in a beautiful home for several years even after I stopped working -- the world of business. Not in the same capacity as before but my mind is open to "business" once again as a viable force.

For the past few years I would not allow myself to "touch it" -- as I felt it was, on many levels, "unclean". But I remember how it's done and over the past few months I have drawn into my own personal universe many people who have helped re-awaken that drive to "do" and whose work, integrating business and intuition, I admire.

One of those people is Patti Keating -- http://www.pattikeating.com/ . I am attending one of her "Business Breakthrough Bootcamps" and it is wonderful.

Another friend is Wendy Franklin Muhammad, "The Authenticity Coach" -- http://www.theauthenticyouonline.com/ . Wendy and I have done radio shows together several times over the past few years and I have a tremendous respect for her. She's great !!

Harmony Harrison -- http://www.intuitopia.com/ is another brilliant, intuitive soul who has come in to my world. She offers a unique perspective on integrating business and intuition and I think she is amazing. Honestly, I do :)

And then, there is Scott Grossberg -- http://www.thinkingmagically.com/ . What, really, can I say -- other than I think he is brilliant and fantastic and I love his work, and him, too.

I may soon be "shifting" more and more in to a world where the integration of business and creativity and intuition merge. I have avoided it for a long time, but I am feeling the pull. The friends I have listed above, though, are already there :)

I am feeling all these happy accidents happening around me (and yes my rep as a "wizard" / manifester supreme is, I think, actually sort of justified) . . . and I am opening myself up to finally reeling all the pieces/parts in to a new, more fully integrated whole.

I want to thank all of my friends who have shared this amazing journey from Lehna's death back to the place I stand now. I know stuff . . . both about intuition and creativity as well as more practical how does that work in the world of commerce stuff, too.

I have "healed", too (I think) my "hatred" of business, 'cause there is no other way really to say it. Business broke my heart, because a bottom line approach by a hospital led to the death of my child . . . it has taken me a long time to heal -- not only to heal from the loss of my daughter (that is still happening) but also my hatred and disgust with the corporate world.

I miss it though and I feel as if now I have the mind set to fully embrace it once again, only this time while concurrently walking in the light of my work (and name) as an intuitive -- something I didn't know how to do before. I finally see them as peacefully co-existing. I wanted desparately for this day to come. It IS a happy day, indeed.
