Voice of the Spirit

Many clients are sincerely searching for “reality” in their readings through guidance and the truth that can heal their lives and build new positive bridges. They are trying to make the inherent quality of their lives and those around them better. On the opposite end of the spectrum are those who are caught in their own emotional confusion, ego and defenses. They want “fantasy” in a consultation, to hear in a reading whatever they already feel as gospel truth, and refute anything that clashes with that fantasy. I would hopefully like to shed some light regarding the clash of these two opposite extremes.

When a client is in love or emotionally engaged with another person, they want to hear that the person in question is indeed right for them. Sometimes things do work out and obviously, sometimes they don’t. If the relationship in question is truly not going to work out, a psychic can feed into a clients fantasy by stating things such as, “He adores you! Because of how deeply one often invests into their romantic relationships, fantasy appears to become reality to certain clients when receiving this type of reading. If it feels good, and it’s what the emotions crave to hear, the reading is viewed by the client as gospel truth, seemingly channeled directly from God. In this example, we see a common experience for most, if not all psychics, of clients having tunnel vision regarding a particular relationship, end of issue. Frequently, when people are at the point in their journey where they are only willing to hear what they choose to hear, they clash head on with readings that in any way dispel what is already believed. This type of denial is common and dangerous, especially because inaccurate counsel never creates or offers anything legitimately helpful in a consultation, because people are never helped by non-truthful information. In addition, the concept of fantasy can tie into any aspect of a reading, not just love, such as hearing that a negative business venture is a multi million-dollar opportunity.You might ask, “How do I know if I’m looking for a fantasy reading?” Here are a few good concepts to remember: If you find yourself feeling resentful or reactionary to what is coming through in a consultation, step back, and just listen. Don’t fight with the reading, and let whatever spirit says come through. This way, you can reflect later on what was received, and time certainly will help to show the information more clearly. Also, don’t go into a consultation wanting to hear a certain outcome to a situation or predictions that are already believed to be true. Again, just accept what is offered with an open mind and heart. When looking at the flip side of the coin, reality in a reading is something that is an inspiration and enlightening to all of us. Even if the truth is hard to hear for any of us at a given time, it is transformational to our journey. But what is reality in a reading? Is it absolute truth? Well, of course not. Nothing, including science is 100% accurate in this world, but an accurate reading should offer a legitimate and substantial degree of truth. (Think of the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt it in criminal court proceedings, and how that is a standard, yet not easily or rigidly able to be defined.)

Here a few examples of how “reality” works in a reading: Regarding predictions, the client should sit back, wait and let predictions unfold. If the original prediction is indeed accurate, and the client takes a wait and see approach, the predictions should manifest as stated, or largely as stated. (Again, nothing is 100%.) However, if the client makes a choice, accurate predictions can then alter. So the original prediction was correct, but the client’s choice changed the outcome. I’ve seen that scenario happen many times. Here, the truth was the original prediction.Short term predictions, such as, “He’s going to call within a week,” are dramatically less important then long term predictions, which deal with the conclusion of the relationship in question, such as . “Is he going to commit, or not?” Long term predictions are the ones that really count, and it takes not only integrity on the reader’s part to offer those predictions correctly, but nonattachment from what the client wants, to be able to receive correct guidance from spirit. Just because the short term predictions are hit correctly, does not in any way mean that the long term predictions are accurate.Sometimes accurate guidance comes through in showing the client that there are several options than can be chosen and the repercussions for each of those choices. This information, showing the different roads one can travel on, each with their own unique set of circumstances is another example of accuracy in a reading. If the client walks down one of the roads mentioned in the consultation, the repercussions indicated by the reader that apply to that road should come true. Often, spirit messages come through, which are usually simple, straightforward and specific. I have seen many of these messages be life altering. As spirit may be wiser than those in the physical plane, each of their words are selected and chosen very specifically and carefully, not only to be able to reach the client in ways only they understand, but also to communicate in a way that is clear.I love the phrase, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” In this instance it could be said, “If a client is open to hear information, truthful guidance comes through!”

On a deeper level, the clash between fantasy and reality readings is really more of the struggle between our lower selves, and our higher selves. Some representations of the lower self are: the part of our make up which houses negative emotions, as in wanting to get even with someone who wronged us, desires that are dark and not for our highest good, such as wanting to steal someone else’s lover for reasons of power, self destructive tendencies, as in alcoholism. When indulging our lower self, one may want to swim in fantasy, hear only what they want to hear, and feed into their ego. Often one can even vilify and condemn psychics who don’t play into the charade and spoon-feed their lower self.

Our higher self, our spiritual core, is evident in many different ways such as: the desire to help others without wanting anything in return, manifesting ones goals in career through utilizing their God given singular gifts and talents, and building a healthy life long relationship that is divine with the person God has made just for them! The higher self wants to heal, listen, learn, grow, evolve, and manifest our divine life!

The clash is settled, the winner announced. Fantasy in a reading never lasts or offers anything other than false dreams and illusion that destroy people’s lives. Reality is the clear and decisive winner! Why? Simply stated, when a reading helps up to heal our lives and grow, it is a priceless gift, as it is truly real, changing our lives and the lives of those connected to us for the better, forever.
