Love, Love

Many people question my teaching being on a kindergarten level. The following story of two young ladies illustrates why I stay right here in psychic preschool.

They walked into the Berkeley Psychic Institute of Sacramento with as much grace and ease as frightened animals. They were tense and untrusting. Both told me nearly the same story: strep throat as a child, hypoglycemia as an adult, unhappy marriage and a search for being wanted, for someone to communicate with. First I will talk about “Sarah” who found the love she was looking for and then lost it.

She told a story of her trip to India. When she was touched by the Guru, she felt this tremendous energy stream through the top of her head and manifest itself in her breast. Her heart and energy swelled so much that the energy poured out of her and she floated up above her body and the Guru. There all things became peaceful and serene, such as she had never felt in her life. No responsibility. It was wonderful. He then proceeded to tell her that this was perhaps not the right place for her because she was in search of the love of her Christian Jesus. He sent her home. I then looked at Sarah’s aura and put my energy into her crown chakra—and matched her energy (which matched the same as her Guru in India) and said to her, “What you are seeking cannot be found in this state you are in which is called being out of your body. All psychic phenomena and all manner of things such as healing must be done within the body because when we are out of the body physical effort, responsibility and ethics do not exist.”

I then let her back into her own space and turned my attention to the other lady, I’ll call her Ella, who sat scrunched down in her chair with both hands over her crown chakra, in tears saying, “This is the only time I have never had anyone invade my space. But it hurts.”

Ella was so sensitive that when near a Guru or any powerful person who would put energy into another person overwhelming that person, it caused great pain in her body. So when Sarah became engulfed, Ella was in pain.

In order to handle her pain Ella went into hiding. As she told her story I was reminded of another lady who hid for 25 years in her bathroom while her husband and children invalidated her by calling her crazy. Her doctor prescribed a drug treatment. When her trance mediumship turned on, a strange being would enter her body, she would leave and a new personality would emerge. She dealt with this by hiding.

Hello to all of you psychic, sensitive people. Sarah and Ella, and persons like them are not free. These people are bound by agreements that are so strong (the agreement to allow physically and spiritually another spirit to inhabit the body) that the only experience they have known is invalidation, being jailed in state mental institutions, being burned at the stake, while all the time proclaiming their innocence.

Many diseases manifest themselves with these kinds of persons: acute alcoholism is one and drug dependency is another. Many people who are stuck on a drug have the same experience as Sarah did in India with her Guru: They must have the energy of a strong person running through the crown chakra at the top of the head and pouring out the fourth chakra at the breast to find total ecstasy. Love. Wonderful emotional fullness.

Jesus knew of this energy when he cast out the demons and laid his hands on the sick. He was able to communicate about the demons that controlled another body making it immobile in fear and hiding.

Oh, yes, I have a kindergarten. Come on in and learn about energy. Learn about people invading your space. Learn about how invalidation takes away your freedom.
