The Woopi Goldberg, Oda Mae Effect

Remember the movie Ghost (1990) with Whoopi playing a psychic named Oda Mae? How can we forget. She is a charlatan psychic.  I met several of those types of psychics in Sedona.   I call it burn out.  They have been psychic at one time, started charging money, got used to that and lost the real connection.  I am not sure how that happens exactly.  When drinking coffee with some top psychics they will tell me things I am sure they don’t say to very many.  They don’t want to be psychics any more.  They want to do work shops, sell books,  sell cards but they don’t really want to service people in readings anymore.

Perhaps they were intrigued at one time with the gift and with helping people.  That all flew by the wayside.   Social workers ( I have worn that tee shirt) go through burn out so bad...like no other profession.  Police, Nurses, Doctors, Psychologist and (Psychics), all experience burn out.  I watch it happen like a bad movie.  

Bad Movie: Susan Sunshine Social Worker

Young fresh 22 year old hops off the bus with a small suitcase.  She is a Pollyanna type with a big grin. She just graduated from college and she is filled with passion and inspiration.  She is going to help people and make a difference in this world.  It takes about a year of bumping into some not so nice realities before she loses that glow. There are so many reasons...I can think of 199 right now.  People can be lazy, they can get stuck, agencies are not funded correctly.  People at the top, the CEO’s who sit in plush offices take their salary off the top of the funding, perhaps your tax dollars and donations,  the social workers are busting their butts and making nothing, and the money to help the people dries up all too fast.  People are resistant to change, some of the techniques and classes are totally ineffective, people have to want to change. Sometimes you cannot throw enough money at a family to make it any different.  Find free housing, food stamps, health care, find them a job, etc,  and they wind up back on the streets.  They come back wanting more help.  Paper work is nightmare.  The agencies really want so much paperwork and yet special people helpers rarely get paid for it.  Our 22 year old Pollyanna get disillusioned.  She is tired and overworked.  She has no social life and she can barely pay her bills.  It happens just like that. There are of course exceptions and when people do turn their lives around...wow...the sun comes out and the birds sing.   The expectations people have of psychics can be so unrealistic.  There is a similar story for us.

The End…

Well if you remember the story in Ghost (movie 1990),  Patrick Swayze is murdered and he comes back to help protect his wife, Demi Moore, who is in danger.  He can’t reach Demi,  she is not able to hear him. This is very accurate.  Grief can block any real clear communication.  You can sense the loved one, and dream about them and yet the water is muddy on accurate messages.  Patrick contacts Oda Mae who does hear him.  All of a sudden she is a real psychic and what’s worse is she can’t get rid of Patrick.  Yes, that does really happen.  There are ghosts that will not leave me alone until I get a message to their loved one.  

I will get to the point I am really trying to make.  God, Source, Your Higher Self and Your Guides are all connected in your vortex of your being.  Neale Donald Walsch says, God is always trying to connect with you.  The next song on the radio might be a love song from Source and it is just for you.  

Even if a psychic is not sufficiently in tune with her center and her receptivity, the message you need can come through.  That message will come through with such grandeur and clarity no matter what.  It is you the client that will allow the message and it is you the client who will block the message.  

Two Questions Are Forming Here

One:  Why are psychics not always in tune?  

They are like anyone, they can be overly tired,  they can be stressed by life events happening to them, and they might just need a break from the intensity of being a psychic.  They might need to recharge their battery.  Channeling takes a certain type of life force and power.  It is easy to become drained.  If someone is greedy they might be doing too many readings a day...like some people do in Sedona.  It is OK for a short while but then they hit the floor.  It take a while to recoup.  And often times they lose the desire to help people in this way...because it is like offering someone a gold nugget that took lots of energy to create, and it is not appreciated at all.  I think Jesus called that casting your pearls before swine.?  It can feel that way.  There is really no monetary amount for this exchange.  The money charged is only a token amount and you are paying them for their time.  You are also, paying for all the fakes out there.  I mean really, if people don’t value a true channeled message,  it might be because of bad psychics in the past.

Because it does happen to all of us who do this work.  I offer to re-do a reading two weeks in the future...if someone is unhappy. I think I have a very good record, but sometimes it just isn't going as well as I would like   Why wait two weeks?  Well, that gets to the next Question:  

Two:  People can energetically block messages

There are many ways the client can block and disallow the best possible reading, the clarity and the answers they need.  This has always baffled me.  When the student is ready the teacher is there.  When a client is ready to see the solution that solution will show up.  I observe this many times.  My guides have to go around the back side of the barn to enter the client's subjective reality.  It is seldom going to come at them in a direct way.  We don’t really always want the truth.  We don’t always want to see where we might be a part of the problem or worse, maybe all of the problem.  There are barriers.  My guides do their best to work around these issues.  Me too.  That is why it is good to put a problem aside and revisit it later, perhaps the Universe has opened the window just a bit and you can see and hear the answers.  

Don't get freaked out by disappointment. All of us have a wee bit of impatience.  We want it now...like a hungry child looking at a chocolate cookie…!   Hard to believe we can get in our own way.  Below is a great Abe/Hicks video.

When you are open,  The Universe will put an Oda Mae (the real psychic version) in your path that demonstrates all that you need to know and are seeking.  Relax...stay happy...it does happen!

Otter Appreciate Abe's Teachings

Appreciating Abraham’s Teachings

I tried to find a picture of what Abraham might look like and that looked like an otter with gratitude. Wow.

There are moments when some of the teachings don’t seem to work…

But then they do.  Most people do have some resistance to what they really want.

People can seem to fear what they want...but that is because they are realizing the absence

of what they want.  I really want the job, this lover, this house but its scary and what if it doesn’t happen?   

This is not always about getting what you want or think you want, it is about loving and appreciating.  Always...pretty much

The best process might be meditating and entering source energy.  Leave out all worry and lack.

When you are they in the presence of such love,  take a picture of it.   You might not always be

in that place but it gets easier to return on a daily basis.  It is a feeling.  Most people do not navigate their day based on feelings. It would be very good to learn to do that.  Even if you experience feelings you don’t enjoy, they are your guidance system.  

As Abe explains it, we exist within energy, all is energy.  When your emotional weather is changing, it is telling you that trouble might be ahead.  Trouble in the way of unwanted experiences.  You at a higher superconscious level know what direction to go...it is telling you that your human logic is failing you when you think things and believe things that are not vibrationally true for you.

Becoming emotionally aware is the real effort factor.  Abe says don’t take action and don’t effort outside your personal vortex.  That is so hard for people.  They go to a gym everyday and “effort” thinking no pain no gain.  They are running in circles sometimes.  Your body knows exactly what it needs and how to achieve health.  It will tell you if you quietly listen.  

Bashar says follow your highest excitement.  For Stephen Hawking that looks like new realizations regarding science and physics.  For another person it might be taking their dog to the park...and really enjoying it.  It is also a challenge to live that way.  There are so many things on my to do list that maybe I really am not excited about.  I try and rearrange them and I even ask the Universe to help me find a fun and interesting way to accomplish these many things that appear to need doing.  

Let’s say I need to do the dishes and the laundry.  Nothing major will happen if I don’t (do it) but there are consequences.  I meet clients in my home. I won’t have clean clothes to wear and I will be embarrassed by the messy kitchen.   Also, I just prefer a clean environment.  

I asked for help one day….Zac just started cleaning at a breakneck speed telling me that he was just in the mood to mop the floor and fold my clothes and then vacuumed. Wild horses could not have stopped him.  Interesting.  I did not even ask him...Just the Cleaning Fairies.  Have you ever had one of those cleaning frenzies...sure, me too.  

That is my epiphany, don’t let chores take you down, don’t let anything take you down.  It is not so vital to manifesting as it is to living a happy life.  Stay happy!

Abraham Hicks in Phoenix, February 1st

copied from my monthly news letter....sorry for the format. February 1st I attended the Law Of Attraction Seminar with Abraham. The workshop was very good. There were many subjects discussed as usual.  The points that I remember most:  We do not need to age and become ill to exit earth. It is possible to gently lay your body down and transition. I want to have fun and joy up to the moment I leave.   Another lady asked about her purpose in life. This is my paraphrased answer. We create purpose moment by moment. Each step we take is helping us express our highest purpose.We evolve into greater understanding and the next awesome version of ourselves.  We came into this life to experience joy and love. We came from joy and love, and in birth we are pinched off from our eternal self. The challenge is to re-connect in our physical world. Our purpose can be as big or little as we choose.  Some people feel they need to leave their mark or legacy behind. And they can really obsess about that too. That isn't the whole story.  Your job is to align with ¨God, Source, All That Is, Higher Self¨ and live each day from that amplified connection.  Then every one you meet and everything you do is inspired and full of purpose.  People think their purpose is to be a writer, a teacher, a rock star, a math teacher or ________(fill in the blank).  Most hold the belief that success is measured certain ways and we should achieve something significant.  That might be true in many ways.  We all have to earn a living and hopefully it is a career that you have a passion for.  I don't think St. Francis knew what he would become later in life, it just evolved as he followed his heart. For many ultra creative souls, they just follow their excitement and it carries them to greater heights. This is a controversy for some people who are very goal driven.  I am goal driven. I have two classes left before internship this summer.  I can't get too airy...fairy.  Well, yeah, I am airy fairy!  Never mind...I reserve the right to be dialectic in my golden years.   I was disappointed I did not get called on to ask my question. I did raise my hand as did so many others. My question was about Angels. I had a website called Angel Station for many years. I feel the presence of Angels and have no doubt about their existence. My life has been saved many times by my guardians. After the workshop, I met a man named Otis. He asked me if I was a ¨Medium¨ .  I said, Why yes I am. He handed me a feather.  He explained that his guides manifested the feather and told him it was for me. Wow...A day full of surprises and paranormal happenings!  It really was co creating at its best.

Understanding St Francis Better

Unscrambling The Message of St Francis

Everyone puts a spin on things.  Our media is good at doing that. Some advertisements exaggerate the benefit of their product.  My favorite commercials are the ones sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies. Just taking a pill makes you fall in love and skip through Paris. The disclaimer at the end tells you of all the dangerous side effects.  Is it hard to believe that the Catholic Church has been putting a spin on certain saints?  Jesus had to be heroic enough in the eyes of a Roman Culture to put him on pedestal and worship him instead of the other gods in their culture.  There are many good qualities these human saints had without the spin.  Mary did not wear the perfect color of lipstick.  But if she did wear a certain brand and color, I want stock in that company!  There is always financial and political gain in whom the church decides to saint.  Always.  

I have been told by many psychics that I was St. Francis in a past life.  I have been screaming  ¨NO NO NO ever since hearing that.  My personality is so very different.  I have written about this before.  I do not want to be ST. FRANCIS.  Let me be so very clear about this, I am the girl that used to fart when she laughed (accidentally).  My ability to be the class clown is much more in line with who I am.   If someone said that I was Calamity Jane in a past life, cool, that I could believe except for Indian rampages. I am part Cherokee.  There is one hitch,  I came into this world with profound spiritual memory.  I came in already knowing my powerful connection with God.  I have soul memories of being ST FRANCIS that started when I was about 10 years old.  Escaping it is not possible. But let me be very clear like Patton (general of world war II),  He said, this is my destiny, to be here at this time and place.  It is my destiny to unscramble the message of Francis.  I am going to refer to him as Francis.  I really want to leave the saint off of it.  I am uniquely qualified to de-saint him.

What he got wrong!

There is quite a list of fuzzy thinking with Francis.  He was inspired and had a strong charismatic personality, thumbs up.  He was guilty of extreme black and white thinking.  There was a class distinction. Francis was born to a wealthy family and they had political power.  Think of the story of Romeo and Juliet.  Italy had its ruling families.  Francis was of course Catholic and was educated that way within that doctrine.  He was a radical hippie for that day and age.  Nancy was a flower child as well.  He did not like to see human suffering.  That gets a thumbs up!  He decided to join the misery.  That gets a thumbs down.  I am in training to be a therapist. Can you imagine being so empathetic that you sit  and cry and ruminate with your client for the whole session like in the movie ¨Harvey¨ saying ¨poor dear, poor dear?¨   NO, you cannot get sick enough to make the sick well, and you cannot get poor enough to make the poor richer.  That is crazy circular thinking.   Francis walked barefoot, feet bleeding, shivering in the cold, often fasting and hungry.  Shoes were a status symbol.  Most poor did not have them.  Francis was making a statement with every defiant act.   He was following the life of Jesus.  He followed so well that he created the stigmata for himself.  He never recovered from that experience. Francis died about age 45 with several infections going on.  I believe he lasted as long as he did due to the robustness of his early life as a soldier and world traveler.  I will say that he got quite a bit right.  I will talk about that next (briefly)...he is already sainted.  The lesson of significance here is that a person does not need to embrace poverty and suffering to be ¨holy¨ and spiritual.  That is why I get nauseated when remembering his life time.  When Francis was dying he said ¨I have been too hard on brother ass¨.  He was referring to his near masochistic treatment of his physical self.  I must tell you,  Yes, he was way too hard on himself and God does not require that at all.  Let us not start on the misconceptions about God...and the various religions.  I can't go there right now.  

What he Got Right

There is such strong evidence that Francis could really talk to the animals and listen.  Nancy was born with that too.  I had all the animals follow me home, and my brother sometimes threw rocks chasing them away.  I remember sitting on the branch of our orange tree singing to the bees who were merrily sipping nectar from the white blossoms (age 4).  Bees were buzzing past my nose and yet I did not endure one sting.   To this day my respect for all life is as profound as it was with the life of Francis.  I am not the only one...there are so many people who share this communion with nature and animals.  This is only my strongest resemblance to Francis. Do I know how to heal animals?  Yes I have done it so many times.  I talk to trees and they answer back.  This ability came prior to Francis' life.  I have been a priestess and shaman many times...this is an acquired skill.  Maybe we are born with it?  Yes, but it is acquired because I broke through the 3D barrier with it.  I carried it in like one smuggles dope across the border.  I carried it within my DNA.  

Francis made it clear that power and clarity of mind do not belong to a certain privileged class of people.  There are some things that money can and cannot do.  There are those credit card purchases and for everything else there is  POWER OF SPIRIT.  There are so many who have all that money can buy and yet they are not happy.  Frances had an abundance of spiritual wealth, compassion, and true concern for the well being of others.  He made his mark in history and it is a big mark. I am proud of him.  In reading about him, I realized what an organizer he was.  He was more like Paul than Jesus that way.  Francis successfully organized several religious groups that thrive to this day in one form of charity or another.  There is nothing more powerful than LOVE.  He lived it and showed it.  That continues in this life and colors my being with rosiness.
