Psychic Detective

A couple of days ago, I saw a poster online for a missing person -- a beautiful young girl from San Diego. As soon as I saw the poster, I immediately said to myself "she's dead" and now, sadly, we know that this lovely young child, Chelsea King, was, in fact, murdered.

This is not the first time (nor will it be the last) that I have looked at these "Missing Person" bulletins for young children and suspected -- instantly -- that they had passed. There is a very distinct vibe that happens -- there is a 2D flatness to their energy. Of course, the thing about being a psychic is that you never know . . . no matter how "good" you may be, you never truly know.

That is why I never say, before hand, I think this child is dead because the emotional wallop is just too great. I only confirm it after the fact. People have talked to me, a lot, recently about doing police work as a psychic.

I have friends, Robbie Thomas comes to mind first, who do this and do this very well but, as the father of a beautiful teen-age daughter, I am still a little gun shy of getting too close to cases just like this.

I had a conversation yesterday in Anaheim at The Learning Light Foundation regarding predicting death. I said, and I believe this VERY strongly, that it is unethical to EVER predict someone's death.

None of us as psychics can ever be 100 % sure of what we see. We just can't. And I have a very Hippocratic Oath kind of attitude about being a psychic -- no matter what, don't do anything to make it worse. DO NO HARM.

It is better to err on the side of caution than come six guns blazin' and say things that may potentially put an additional fear in the minds of your client. Anyway, I have one last story to add to the "flatness of life" idea and it concerns something I felt about my daughter Lehna.

I was asked to "guess" the day Lehna would be born and I kept "saying" -- because it was what I kept hearing -- that "Lehna wants to be born when the Moon is in Aries". That would have been either March 1, 2, or 3.

When we went to the doctor on March 1st and he set the induction for 10 days in to the future, March 11th, we asked "can't we please do it earlier??" and the compromise date was March 8th -- a week away.

I went home and looked at the ephemeris for March 8th and I said to Beth, "she has to be delivered before the 8th because on the 8th there is NO BABY TO DELIVER."

I took that to mean that she would come out before then but I had an ominous foreboding looking at the chart. The next day, we went to the hospital. Little Lehna was in distress but the doctors -- in spite of us basically begging "can't we please do this since we're here" -- sent us home and lectured Beth in the process, saying basically don't bug us.

Lehna "wanted" to come out March 2nd but she wasn't able to make it. She died the next day. What I had said: ""Lehna wants to be born when the Moon is in Aries" takes on an entirely different meaning now but it was toooooo difficult to allow that thought in to my head at the time. I could not do that to another parent and so I choose not to be put in that position.

It is a crazy world now, filled with crazier and more and more desperate people. Sadly, there will be other young girls and boys who leave too soon. It is my prayer that we, as a society, will embrace our goodness and treat others with dignity and kindness. It is my greatest wish.

Repentance

It is tough to "wait" . . . to sit back and let the world do its slow little dance towards certain planetary or cosmic alignments but just like the best halfbacks I try to sit back and wait for the blocks and then the holes will appear. But when the hole opens -- you've got to hit it!

I have "seen" things for a long long time now -- over 30 years. There were certain "images" that I waited to see before telling my "story". The beauty of my life is that I have built a small niche in this psychic media world and have an audience, of sorts, for the things I say. And THAT is beautiful.

But, for me anyway, the time for a spiritual cleanse -- the big shamanic roto-rooter, the cosmic colonic -- is NOW. And I mean RIGHT NOW.

It is not fashionable in the "New Age" community to talk about Jesus and the New Testament but I think HE is vitally important and as much as most churches in the West disgust me, that doesn't negate the power and beauty of HIS message.

I believe that ALL religions that teach love and a respect for the earth and for each other are TRUE religions. There is a profound beauty and truth to Judaism, a profound beauty and truth, too, to Islam as well as many other revealed wisdoms over the years that have been codified into a "religious system". I have a respect and love for their teachings and for those who follow them.

My profound respect for Jesus -- both as a man and an enlightened master -- is off the hook. Amazing. He had to be soooooooo amazing.

But there are other religions with amazing lessons for us to read about and learn from, too -- Judaism, Islam, and Taoism . . . (and Wicca, too, of course, 'cause, let's face it -- I'm a Witch) . . . being the ones (other than Christianity) with the most profound impact on my own personal spiritual development but there are many others that I value and respect and read, too.

I think that this year -- 2010 -- is a BIG YEAR. I have said on air for a long time that 2010 was the important year, not 2012. And I still feel that. I think if we can find love within ourselves and share it with other people then the world will be a beautiful and happy and safe place. If not, then the world will shake and bake and then, I think, we're sorta fucked . . .

If there is a Sodom and Gomorrah in the 21st Century it is not toooooo outrageous of an idea, I think, to say that it lives within the boundaries of The United States of America. We are a country, right now, filled with greed and hate.

The message of Christianity has been hi-jacked, just like the banks and healthcare and public education, by a small cabal with an evil (yep, that is what I said "evil" -- 'cause I feel that it's true) game plan to take what they want come HELL (and yes I said "Hell") or high water. More for me and a whole lot LESS for you . . .

First off: There are no racial differences between us in the eyes of God. Heaven is not going to filled with ONLY white people who kept their lawns nice. Sorry.

It is a diverse universe we live in and, to me, that is what makes it such a beautiful world. I try to keep my religious Jesus loves me thang under wraps but I DO believe in so much of HIS teachings. I hope that we can all see the light from his words -- not the words the PUBLIC CHURCH distorts to make us all good little worker bee drones but the truth of his message of caring and compassion for everyone.

Simplicity, kindness, balance -- that is what the world needs. Open the Bible and read the part with the red letters. Same thing with the Torah and the Koran. Look to the spiritual guidelines we've been given. Forget the capitalist hype -- go down deep, into the soul. That is the where the truth lives.

It is time, for us all, to go within -- before, perhaps, it is too late :(

Predictions

My good friend, the brilliant numerologist (and clairvoyant, too -- 'cause whether she admits it or not, I am here to tell you that she is DEFINITELY a clairvoyant !!) Alison Baughman talked quite a bit at the beginning of the year about EARTHQUAKES in 2010. She kept saying that there were going to be A LOT of them and, I think it is safe to say that she was correct.

I know the Twins, Terry and Linda Jamison, also were very vocal about earthquakes in 2010. I am sure there are probably others, too, but I know Alison and the Twins, so I hear it straight from them. I'm a witness to how accurate they are.

Dominique Alexandar, my closest friend for the past 18 years (since the days when we were both TV infomercial psychics back in the $3.99 a minute heyday), and I have talked repeatedly over the past 2 years about earthquakes. So, too, our dear friend Allie Cheslick.

When Alison talked about earthquakes there was a place ON THE MAP . . . because that is how I SEE things (the place on the map or the human body LIGHTS UP) . . . that just GLOWED bright RED to me.

That big red spot was the coast of Chile. I felt the really dangerous spot for earthquakes was Chile -- and yesterday a devastating 8.8 magnitude quake hit there (this is approximately 60 TIMES the level of intensity of the recent quake in Haiti !!).

I started doing a radio spot as a guest psychic on "The Strange Dave Show". The past 2 weeks I have been doing 5 min segments where I make predictions. On Feb 16, (my first taped segment), I talked about political scandals being something on the horizon and, a week later, we already have the uproar about NY Gov Paterson and a potential ethics violation against Congressman Charlie Rangel -- but there are still, imo, more big names yet to come.

Tuesday, I said that I saw "a boat crash in to a bridge". Well within 72 hours a tugboat in Louisiana did, in fact, crash into a bridge and an ocean liner crashed in to the pier -- I'll take that as a hit and not just a random oh anyone could have guessed that "thang".

The reason I am bringing this up is that there are a lot of us -- at the higher end of the psychic food chain (and it may be bad taste to just go ahead and so boldly include myself in this group but I am gonna quote ol Diz "It ain't bragging if you can do it") -- who are now locked in and I expect this to continue . . . not just for me but for a lot of us: Alison, Allie, Dominique and The Twins, as well as many many others.

The world is shifting. The "veils" are parting. This is a magical / magickal time . . . we are in a spiritual crisis. This is GOD saying . . . to all of us . . . "WAKE UP".

God is telling us to wake up . . . that is, truly, what I believe.

Changes to my new Tarot and Divination Decks

I have made some changes to the original design of both my new decks. I had to do the fine tooth comb thing with the decks due to possible copyright infringement issues (the images were good on some of the old paintings but there was a possible issue with the photographs OF the images) soooooooo . . .

I have revised both decks and changed them from full color to B & W. Therefore, the price will be going down on both decks. Also, I am not going to be offering the signed and numbered custom decks any more, either. I have contacted everyone who had previously purchased a deck at the old price and given them options due to the new, lower price.

The "Khar - Ma: Past Lives Divination Deck" will now be $23 -- it was $39 before. "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows" will now be $22 -- it was $36 before. You can now, if you choose, purchase both decks for $39 -- the price of the "Khar - Ma" deck before. Shipping and handling is $6 per deck (for shipping within the U.S. only).

Anyway . . . I wanted to give this update. I think the cards now have an even funkier cosmic vibe than before -- although, truthfully, the original designs WERE prettier. If you are interested in purchasing one -- or both -- decks, please check out my website: http://www.rocknrollpsychic.com/order_information_for_divination_and_tarot_decks

These are the frontispieces to my Past Life Divination Deck "Khar - Ma" and my Tarot Deck "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows".

Anniversaries

It is almost 5 years, to the day, from when I first came to California. My circumstances back then were much different. I was working as the Change Management Lead for a project for Ace Insurance in downtown Philadelphia.

It was my job to document all the internal I.T. processes for the company, develop, write and test code (yes in this case I actually wrote the simple code needed to develop the software) and oversee all efforts to prove Ace's internal business processes met the legislative dictates of Sarbanes-Oxley -- a law written primarily as a corporate compliance measure in the wake of financial scandals like Enron -- where I was also once a contract executive.

I, personally, (this is true) wrote The Disaster Recovery Plan for Enron and was also, for a time, the Customer Satisfaction Manager for the entire company.

But that is another story . . . and yes, at the time, I was a direct report to the Executive V.P. of CSC Energy Services (who secured a 1.1 Billion Dollar outsourcing contract) and I warned him that things weren't all kosher within the internal infrastructure of what was then hailed as the most innovative company in the world.

But all that is background. In February, 2005, I was leaving my fancy office on the 19th floor overlooking Philadelphia's City Hall to come west to help develop internal business processes and controls for Kaiser Permanente's 4 Billion (since ballooned to perhaps 7 or 8 Billion) Dollar initiative -- HealthConnect -- to automate and digitize all internal medical records. The money was simply too great ($140.00 am hour) to pass up.

I was also engaged -- to a woman I met while working in 2003-2004 in northern Virginia. So Beth, and her daughter Elise, made the trek with me, came to California to begin a somewhat troubled existence isolated in a big house in the 'burbs with only a bare minimum of furniture and soon Beth was both homesick and pregnant, a volatile mix.

I was determined to stay in my $5600 a week job, Beth was determined to go back to Virginia and wanted me to quit. I tried to explain that these jobs didn't grow on trees but her experience of me was exactly the opposite. She had over the past 2 years seen me get progressively bigger and more lucrative contracts every six months or so and perhaps her expectation was that next time I would get $200 an hour and we could still live on the East Coast.

Anyway . . . a deal was made. I accepted a permanent position at Kaiser in order to get health insurance. We would stay until the baby was born, wait a few months until Elise finished school and then, poof, adios California and on to Atlanta, where we had a beautiful custom-built home ready and waiting . . .

A lot of you know the story from there -- at least the highlights. The baby, our darling little Lehna, was stillborn. I made the decision a few months later not to marry Beth and leave California but instead stayed with Kaiser and said adios to a woman I was truly in love with.

I was at the door step of self-destruction and leaving Beth was an obvious (although I didn't recognize it at the time) first step towards unraveling my storybook life . . . also I needed "space". Primarily because I was grieving but, in retrospect, to "wash the corporate" off me and get back in touch with the "psychic gifts" I had tried to turn off 15 years earlier.

I am bringing this up because on a symbolic level I think my path over the past 5 years mirrors in an almost eerie sense the path of the United States. Bloated on prosperity, blind to any possibility of failure, I saw my productivity come to an end and I began living on the fumes from my past success, eating myself from within. I think this is also happening on a national level.

It was the beginning of President Bush's second term. There was a sense of something not quite right but the housing bubble was expanding and a false sense of optimism was in the air. I knew early on that this "correction" was going to happen . . . but ideas of "Manifest Destiny" and "God is on OUR side" still clang loudest in most American hearts and minds.

There is a growing awareness, though, that not all is well in the Kingdom anymore. The Emperor has clothes, but they are dissolving, and each new stitch in time is made with cheap thread. It is going to unravel.

In my case, I choose to focus on the light within and, increasingly, turn away from the day to day and look more at God and matters of the "Spirit". On a national level, we are all going through this collective "Dark Night of the Soul" . . . it is my hope that we, as a collective, will wake up from this darkness and find a light shining within, that we will wake up to a sense of joy and compassion.

But I am not so sure that will be . . . and my prediction is this. I believe 2010 is a "crisis" year -- a year in which skeletons locked safely away begin rattling in their cage. It is a time of scandal and self-revelation . . . a time when the hopes fade and a new sense of reality begins to appear.

This year is America's "Dark Night" . . .

Let's Talk About the Weather . . . (with a little bit about politics, too)

My mother called me last night. My hometown, Hamilton, Ohio, was bracing for a snow storm. Not so unusual as this is the middle of February. But what WAS unusual -- in fact so unusual that history didn't really have a Winter to compare it to -- was the fact that the expected 9-11 inches of additional snow was going to drop on a current accumulation of 25 inches! My hometown -- 25 miles from Kentucky -- was looking at a possibility of 3 feet of snow!

This is, to say the least, for that part of the world . . . "unusual". Last Summer and Fall, I started saying that the weather, beginning in November, 2009, was going to go in to a record-breaking almost surreal state of deep-freeze for approximately 30 months . . . roughly until Spring, 2012. That prediction is looking pretty good, so far.

I did my 5 minute prediction spot yesterday for "The Strange Dave Show" and I said that the current brrrrr brrrrr chilly-willy temps would break soon -- but not until after another 3-4 week spell of even COLDER, SNOWIER weather. Then -- An early Spring . . . one in which I expect the weather to go from Ice Age to a balmy beautiful time in a matter of days -- sometime around mid-March, approximately 4 weeks away.

But soon after, say mid to late April, I expect what will be the true form of natural destruction to appear from this brutal spell of weather -- Floods. I believe we are going to see floods of incredible magnitude this Spring, again record-setting in both size and scale.

Lots of people may die in these floods and my fear is that this may set off, in some minds, an apocalyptic take me home Jesus mind-set. Raging flood waters in a crippled economy two years from the "dreaded" 2012 . . . well, if these floods happen, it will likely be the catalyst for an awakening of the darkest most superstitious thoughts.

The United States has drifted, over the past 25 years, from a nation of primarily rational thinkers towards a nation of political extremists, zealots bent on "their way or no way" and so the compromise bone has been weakened and the all speed ahead damn the torpedoes mind-set has been aroused in ways we've never before seen -- at least not in the United States.

My other "big" prediction for the past few years has been the erosion of the U.S. economy. Each year, since 2006, I keep saying that economic news is going from bad to worse, each year (perky little puppy dog that I am) I am told that I am being "negative" -- "think positive" people tell me . . . "it will surely be fixed soon". But I don't think it is going to be fixed soon and I am going to tell you why I believe that is so.

Because . . . the ends are growing stronger while the middle falls apart. Centrist politicians -- what I would surely have been had I been a politician and not gone so anti-corporate due to the death of my child and an insight in to the destructive powers lying in wait due to unbridled corporate control of the legislature -- are dropping like flies.

It is a game for extremists because, to paraphrase retiring centrist Senator Bayh, "money goes to people with a recognizable 'brand'".

"There's just too much brain-dead partisanship, tactical maneuvering for short-term political advantage rather than focusing on the greater good," Bayh told ABC News Tuesday.

In other words, lobbyists' dollars go towards people who make the most noise for their causes. There ain't no money in compromise!!

We now have a Jerry Springer-style government. There is a reason people with 8 teeth and an I. Q. of 73 get on TV . . . but isn't it possible that we have taken this "Reality TV" madness a bit too far . . . that we choose politicians due to sound-bites rather than actual achievement. Nothing gets done unless it furthers a particular cause -- the one with the loudest voice will ultimately win in this environment and in a media-driven world the loudest voice is almost always the RICHEST voice. Corporations rule . . . the average American drools . . . and so the work of enlightened rational men for 225 years goes down the drain.

The great poet William Butler Yeats said it best 90 years ago -- looking back at the destruction of "The Great War" . . .

"The Second Coming"

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

"Khar - Ma" and "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows"

I have spent the past two days thinking through the hows and whys of my new divination decks: "Khar - Ma: Past Lives Divination Deck" and "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows". I was in a channeled frenzy creating them and now that I've breathed life in to them, I must find a way to release them in to the big bad world.

I am an astrologer and so I believe strongly in the power of "all things in the proper time". I have chosen the time I feel is both astrologically and personally correct -- March 4 @ 7:30 pm EST / 4:30 pm PST.

At that time, I am going to do a radio show on Blogtalk Radio where I use the "Khar - Ma" cards for on air readings. I will begin mailing decks the next day . . . March 4th is an important date for my "personal karma" as it was the day back in 2006 in which we learned that our baby Lehna had died in utero.

When the show ends at 6:30 PST it will be almost exactly 4 years to the minute from when we first learned of Lehna's passing and the "wheels" began turning towards extracting me from my comfortable corporate existence -- if Lehna hadn't died I am almost certain that I would have never returned to the "psychic world".

A little about the "Khar - Ma" deck (from my earlier note) . . . the deck has 63 different cards, all with both a picture and a title. Each card is also individually numbered. Sixty-three is an interesting choice mathematically -- 3 x 21 or 7 x 9.

But this deck is designed to have a secondary hidden wrinkle, card # 64. Like the Fool card in a traditional Tarot Deck, this card is numbered both 0 and 64. It is a "wild card" and my plan, as long as I do a limited run, is to "choose" a card and label specifically for the individual purchasing the deck.

In other words, each deck will have a card chosen by me as being thematically significant relative to the purchaser's past lives as well as being an integral part of the deck in doing readings for oneself or others.

And Card 64 also adds another mathematical wrinkle to the deck. It is now 8 x 8 but, more importantly, it also matches the 64 squares on a chess board. To me, this linkage to Chess -- and the metaphors of the Game -- are vitally important to the mathematical magic implicit in this deck.

I feel as if the number 63 is important in pricing the cards but for me, personally, $63 for the deck seems like a lot so I have come up with this, hopefully, symmetrical compromise. I am going to offer BOTH decks for $63. The "Khar - Ma" deck will be $39; "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows" will be $36 (both numbers are inversions of 63 -- 36 is 63 reversed, 39 sort of 63 backwards/upside down) .

The "Khar - Ma" deck will also have a unique card chosen by me for whoever buys the deck. BUT -- this will only last for a time. I am going to do this for the first 99 cards. Each of the cards will be signed and numbered and will also have a unique one-of-a-kind card #64.

After the first 99, though, the price will drop to $36 but card # 64 will no longer be personally selected by me -- although future decks will still not all have the same card 64. The decks will have 5 different options and so the Wheel of Karma continues to turn as to which card shows up.

These are individually created and crafted decks and will have a more "home made" vibe -- on purpose, partly, but also somewhat out of necessity, too. There won't be a box, either. The cards will be shipped tied with either a gold or sliver cord. To purchase the decks, please go to my website -- www.rocknrollpsychic.com -- for ordering information. Shipping will be extra -- $6 per deck within the US. Foreign orders -- well honestly I don't really know yet . . . but if you're interested, please let me know and I will find out.

Again, the "official" launch for the "Khar -Ma" deck is March 4th at 7:30 pm EST / 4:30 pm PST. "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows", (even though it was actually developed AFTER "Khar - Ma" -- the "idea" of it had been percolating for many years), will have an "official" launch BEFORE that of "Khar - Ma" . . . February 26th at 5:00 pm EST / 2:00 pm PST. At that time, I will also do a show on Blogtalk Radio doing on air readings using the deck.

Both decks, however, will not be mailed until March 5th, Lehna's "birthday". Also, March 5th gives me additional time to complete the instruction manual for "Khar - Ma". I am planning on doing a book on "Khar - Ma" and also a book on "The Tarot of Hungarian Shadows". . . both hopefully will be complete within the next 6 months.

These decks rock -- truly they do . . . even if I DO say so myself.
