Spirit Guides: Let’s get acquainted!

28. April 2012 by Kathleen.

When people come to me for any type of psychic work, no matter their age, gender, belief system or background, there is one question that is almost always asked of me. What is this question that seems to have so much universal appeal? Well, quite simply this, “Who is my spirit guide?”. Again, everyone, no matter who they are, seem to share in this desire to acquaint themselves and connect with their spirit guides.

Obviously, there is something very magical and comforting about the answer to this question of “Who is my spirit guide?” that seems to resonate with so many different people on so many different levels. And, in turn, causes this question to be asked continuously, time and time again. What is it about this idea of spirits being with us, that seems to bring humans from so many different backgrounds and perspectives together as one?

Although some are often shy and reluctant at first, again, as if by some type of divinely interwoven human clockwork, most people share remarkably similar stories with me. They express currently having, or having had at some point in their lives, the sensation of feeling some type of presence around them. Often, they believe the presence is that of a close loved one who has previously gone onto the spirit world and is watching over them, keeping them safe.

This awareness and faith that spirit beings are always with us — guiding, protecting and helping us move forward in our lives — often brings a great deal of comfort and peace. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, purpose or previous life conditioning people may have experienced, most often they doubt themselves and discount their own intuitions. Some individuals even begin to think they are losing the plot! This is usually where I come into the picture.

You see, every human being possess the God/Creator given gift of intuition and psychic ability. But, over time, and unfortunately through some bizarre type of conditioning, many people, though perfectly capable, are afraid to tap into it. We have been taught that to hear voices or feel any type of supernatural presence is somehow a negative thing. Instead of just “rolling with it”, and trusting their own feelings and intuition, many people look to psychics or mediums for acknowledgement and confirmation.

Let me give you an example. About a month or so ago I was down in south Texas enjoying the gorgeous hill country and the brilliance of the bluebonnets and wildflowers. While there, forever being the explorer and always preferring the small towns to the big city, I found myself in a little historical town near San Antonio. While driving around in this cool little “off the beaten path” town and looking for some form of life, a small vintage shop caught my eye.

I went into the shop, and while browsing around began having one of my typical friendly chats with the shopkeeper. We were talking about everything under the sun when all of sudden she asked me what I did for a living. When I told her about being a psychic and medium, she immediately began telling me about an old friend who had long passed. She had been feeling his presence around her a lot at that time and was frequently seeing many things that reminded her of him.

Like most other people that think they need confirmation through a psychic or medium, she began to ask me if I could see this person. At the risk of sounding rude, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself. For some reason, whenever people find out what I do, they frequently begin firing away questions at me. I’ve always wondered, if I started telling people I was a dentist or an architect, would the person open their mouth and ask me to look in or would they perhaps hand me a piece of paper and a pencil and ask me to draw up some building plans? (Just another of my classic off topic thoughts…sorry about that!)

Okay, so, not really wanting to go into “instant psychic mode”, I told the shopkeeper where to contact me if she wanted to get together and have a consultation or proper reading done. I also told her something else. Although I didn’t answer her immediate question with a yes or no answer, I did impart something I felt was a bit more empowering and important for the long haul. (Um, not to mention a bit cheaper on her part!)

I basically stated, “If you think or feel a loved one is around you — then, almost always, they are! Unless you want to communicate with them for a specific message or messages, then quite simply put, you don’t need a psychic or a medium. Spirits are always with us, to help, heal and guide us in our lives”.

While she listened intently to my response, her eyes grew quite wide. Although looking a bit surprised at first, her head began to shake slowly forward as she acknowledged my words. Suddenly an aura of comfort and peace came over her face. Without having to go into details, or a big mediumship session, she got the answer and the confirmation she needed. My part in the equation was done! I finished browsing in her shop, said my farewells — then poof! I was off!

I took the time to share this little story with you for a reason. It illustrates and illuminates the common preconceived ideas and misconceptions about communication with the spirit world — or your “spirit” guides if you will. The spirit world is intertwined with ours and the line between us and them is very fine indeed. As previously stated, it doesn’t matter who you are, what your personal belief system is, or that you doubt your ability to see, hear or feel them — you have spirits around you all the time!

Why are they around us? What do they want? Well, the answer to that question can vary. Sometimes, a familiar loved one who has passed over from this life may be around to comfort you or be there for you as a friend, just as in this life. They know from their own previous experience in this life, that it “ain’t” always easy! And, sometimes you just need to have a loyal and familiar friend by your side.

What are some other reasons a spirit might want to hang out and chill with us? One of the biggest and most significant reasons I have found to be, is that of “guiding and teaching”. They assume the role of mentor and assist us in fulfilling our obligations on this earth plane. They do their best to make sure we satisfy our unique spiritual journey and soul purpose.

These spiritual gurus and mentors can sometimes be familiar to us, but, many times they are not. It is these type of spirits that most people refer to when they talk about “working” with their spirit guides. It is also these very type of spirits that the majority of individuals are “hell-bent” on discovering. And, with a little help from me — they usually do!

Sometimes people get really excited when I mention they have a historical figure as one of their spiritual guides. Fair enough, who doesn’t want to hold their head up high and proudly exclaim, “My guide is Crazy Horse!” or “My guide is Joan of Ark!” The sad part comes when I tell someone their guide is “Joe Schmoe” or “Jane Smith” and then disappointment quickly sets in on their face. Believe me when I say they probably aren’t half as disappointed as their spirit guide usually is with them at that moment! They have feelings too you know!

Truth be told, it doesn’t really matter who your guides are. It also doesn’t matter if you feel you resonate with them or you don’t! They are specific to you and your individual spiritual journey. They all matter and they are all important, no matter how great or insignificant “you” may at first think they are. If a spirit comes to you to help guide you, believe me, they have a reason and it is up to you to figure it out!

I remember the very first time a Kiowa Chief named Guipago first came to me. I had no idea who he was or his historical significance. On our first meeting, when I asked who he was, he replied, “just call me Navajo Joe.” I knew immediately from his sarcastic reply he was very funny and entertaining. But, what I had absolutely no comprehension of at the time, was, who he would turn out to be not only historically, but on the grander scheme of things — how significantly he would change my life.

Over the years, this magnificent man and spiritual guide of mine has educated me to a world I never knew existed. Had I initially dismissed him as some “sarcastic Native American dude” I would have really missed out. Like I just said a few sentences back, there are no unimportant spiritual guides. They all have a place, meaning and purpose for you on your road to spiritual enlightenment and fulfilling your destiny. It is up to you, the individual to quiet yourself and listen to what your guides are trying to tell you.

There are many other type of spirits and spiritual guides that are available for humans to work with. These other spirit types — including everything from Angels to Animals — can also bring us great comfort, healing and peace. For today however, and with the intention to make things easy on you, I will stick with the two spirit types I have mentioned. Hopefully, it will be enough to not only get the wheels spinning, but, also to let you know that no matter how lonely you may sometimes get — you are never alone in this world!

If after reading this, you should decide that you would like to try crossing the threshold and begin communicating more with your loved ones passed and guides present, there is something very important you should always remember:

First off, you have to believe! The more you believe, the more you will open yourself to experiencing the spirit world and those spirit beings that are around you. They are there, but it is up to you to believe they are there! Relax your mind, take a leap of faith, and voila! You will be amazed at how quickly the doors to other worlds will open, allowing you to walk right in.

Secondly and plainly put, there is no limit to what, who or how guidance can come to you. We are being led everyday, all day. And, the messages can come in all types of shapes and sizes. Your friends in spirit can surprise you with messages sent in the forms of signs, billboards, symbols, things you see on television, a song you keep hearing on the radio, or perhaps even the checkout boy guy at the local grocery store who just happens to say something that resonates with you. The possibilities are absolutely endless, so keep your eyes and heart open! There is no such thing as coincidence!

Good luck on your ever evolving spiritual journey, and if you would like to share some of your experiences with spirit guides on the comments section, I am sure the other readers would love to hear about them!

Peace, over and out!

2012 part two: Just for the heck of it!

31. March 2012 by Kathleen.

Having just assured you in the previous “2012: Wakey! Wakey!” blog that I believe in free will and the like, it probably isn’t very fitting for me to put down in writing or say what my thoughts are on predictions for the future. After all, wasn’t the whole premise of what I was banging on about in my last blog, “free will” and having the power within to make changes? Am I a hypocrite? What’s my deal?

My deal is simple. While I do definitely believe in free will and the power of positive thinking and energies, it is also my belief that “if” we don’t change ourselves and resonate to a higher vibration, “if” we stay on the same course we are on, then in 2012, and in the coming years you can pretty much expect the following things I am going to mention to happen.

What do I feel compelled and willing to share with you as far as 2012 predictive stuff? Well it’s pretty easy really. Again, you don’t have to be a psychic to figure it out. In fact one of the main things I teach and that I have learned through my spirit guides and teachers, is that you have to go within yourself to find the answers. You don’t need to rely on other people, books about spirituality or in this case a Psychic’s blog written by yours truly! PJ

So, even though I usually reserve these opinions and thoughts for my family and close friends, here I go with some general thoughts on what we can possibly expect. Let me premise this once again by saying, “if” we don’t make some drastic changes like yesterday both within ourselves and in the outside world, if we remain on our current course, then in 2012, and in the coming years you can pretty much expect the following things:

Expect more harsh and severe weather. More record breaking weather. Stronger winds, colder air, hotter air, increasingly violent storms, more floods, more fires, more earthquakes and well just more and bigger and better when it comes to anything weather. Also expect the death toll in these natural catastrophes and weather events to rise to numbers and tragedies never before seen in our lifetime.

The stock market will more than likely tank again. The world economy is in the process of purposely being collapsed. Can you say global economy and new world order? It is inevitable anyway, as the last time Uranus was in Aries was during the great depression and stock market crash. Look to the planets, look to history.

What should you invest in? Well that is difficult to say. However, I will say that it would be of great benefit for all of you to learn how to farm, grow plants and crops etc. hint, hint. It would also behoove you to know how to purify water and if possible stock up on bottled water. Believe it or not, food and water may very well become the “hot commodity”. Beyond that, gold or silver might be good — something that is tangible to barter or trade with — again, look to history! Paper means nothing! Get away from what I call “false wealth.”

Because of the factory farming practices, animal cloning and the “forced” use of genetically modified seeds, you will see more and more tainted food supplies and outbreaks of all different types of harmful bacteria. The food supply will suffer and prices of what is “actually” edible will skyrocket. You can see all of this happening already. Again, the information is out there — you just have to look!

Based on what Guipago has shared with me over the years, we are going back to the cowboy and Indian days and if you don’t know how to cultivate your own food source and survive in the elements, your going to be screwed. Your big giganotosaurus house and car, your ipods, flat screen televisions or your high powered jobs for that matter aren’t going to help you out with your hunger or thirst. Keep that in mind!

The current “chief” as I call him, of the United States will once again win the election. Well, to use the word “win” is kind of comical. But, to keep myself in check and not to disappoint anyone who is still under the grand illusion there is such a thing as a true democratic society, let us just say “win” to be politically correct. It has to be that way in order to “finish off” the states and bring it to its knees which has already been happening for years. (I hope I am wrong on this — but, we will see)

Let’s see. What else? I truly believe, well more “hope” actually that you will see a massive decline in the amount of people who use social networking. As people raise their vibrations and realize what is really going on with most of this technology stuff, the tracking and the intrusive personal privacy implications — they will begin to shy away from it. Also, on a more profound personal level, people will begin to realize that when all is said and done — they need actual human contact, not cyber buddies and false realities.

Uh, hmmm… anything else immediately coming to my mind? Err, vaccines? Nope, not for me! You can expect more rules, more regulations, more accountability to powers that be. You can expect more and more “monitoring” of the private citizen. It will become harder and harder to live “off the grid”. Expect more and more financial institutions to change to “cashless” financial institutions. Again, it all has to do with the big picture and the “controls” that are being put in place.

There were be an increase in suicides and erratic behavior firstly because as humans raise their vibration and stop with all self delusion about what is happening in the world it will be too much to bear. People who haven’t been working on increasing their vibration and going with the shift will be hit with a truth both about the world and about their part in the demise of planet earth that they won’t be able to handle. The erratic behavior will come about as when the shift continues people won’t understand, they won’t feel like themselves and emotions will be spewing out everywhere. You only have to take a gander at the current news to see this is already happening.

You will also notice drastic changes in some people’s behavior based on, well I hate to say this — but, I am going to… based on entities, dark forces and “other worldly” beings attaching themselves and jumping into people. Keep an eye out for extreme changes in personality, radical mood swings, and people not seeming like themselves (uh, basically because they aren’t!). Watch for anger, changes in demeanor and even noticeable changes in complexion and energy.

Hmm, I think that is all I am willing to share at the moment. I don’t remember who it was, perhaps Guipago. But, if you want to really know what is going to transpire in the coming years — look at history! If you really want to know what is going to happen in the future — then take a gander at the past! It is all very cyclical and the same things, although wearing a bit different of a mask, are happening. They are happening now and right before our eyes. Keep in mind though, we do have free will and the power resides within each of us to change our course. What do we have to do first? You already know the answer, we have to wakey, wakey!

Alrighty then! On that note, I think it is time to sign off. I apologize for taking such a horrendous amount of time since my Carlisle blog to write something. I also appreciate those of you who have taken the time to contact me personally, expressing your thoughts on some of my channeled works. Thank you! It is magnificent to know that some of you are actually reading my stories, and that some of my writing has brightened and illuminated your day. Cool! PJ

For those of you on your conscious path and wanting to increase your vibration, and, because of all of the current confusion in the world, I feel compelled to leave you with one final thought:

Beware of false prophets in your daily dealings and your search for spiritual truths. Remember, someone who is truly enlightened would never say, “I am enlightened.” Someone who is truly humble would never utter the phrase, “I am humble or I am humbled.” Someone who is authentic and real will not waste their time trying to convince you of their worthiness, nor will they wish you dependent upon them. They will encourage you to go within, depend upon yourself and find your own answers.

And on that note, I bid you a big adieu!

World Peace, Universal Love and a Higher Vibration!

2012: Wakey! Wakey!

31. March 2012 by Kathleen.

I don’t know about you guys, but I remember the first time I heard about 2012. I was only about 12 years old and my home life back then was in a state of complete disarray and upheaval. My father had just retired from the military — the only life I had known up until that point, my parents were going through a divorce, and the only friend I really had, my best friend, suddenly passed away leaving me to fend for myself.

Always being a bit of an old soul and having been forced through experiences of my everyday life to be beyond my years in most things, needless to say — the atmosphere at that time for me, was a bit dismal and dark. I tried to cope the best I could, but alas, the pressures of the moment won out. And, although I probably shouldn’t say this, in an effort to escape what was then my grim reality, although extremely young — I was already beginning to experiment with “certain substances.”

It may be difficult for some of you to fathom that someone so young could find themselves smack dab in the middle of a major depression. But, there I was. I had already lived and traveled over half the world and within that experience, witnessed firsthand, extreme poverty, sexual abuse and exploitation, corruption, violence, victimization of innocent children and even animal cruelty. I saw the worst life had to offer and on top of that, when I finally did get a place to roost and call home, everything was a jumbled mess.

Enter 2012! Always hoping to find something more to life, my forever ongoing youthful search for spirituality led me to stumble upon the concept of 2012. In the midst of all my emotional confusion and my being completely disillusioned with the everyday task of living — here was yet another fly in the ointment of life. 2012! Oh joy!

Do any of you remember when or what was going on in your life when you first heard about 2012? My memory isn’t always the greatest, but I distinctly recall such worrying descriptions of the impending event such as, “end of the world” and “doomsday” to name a few. Basically, anything that smacked of gloom and doom seemed to be the order of the day when it came to predictions about 2012.

At the time, although slightly dismayed, I didn’t put too much stock into the whole 2012 thing. After all, considering everything that was going on around me, and the hopelessness of it all, I really didn’t think I would even be around for the whole 2012 thing. Apparently though, I must have managed to survive those days somehow, because thus, here I am! And, since you all are currently reading my words, apparently you made it through as well and thus, here we all are — 2012!

To put your mind temporarily at ease, the first thing I want to tell you, or should I say reassure you about, is that 2012 will definitely not be the end of the world. I have asked my guides previously, and they assure me this is so. What they did share with me, and in essence promise me, is the year 2019 will be the cutoff. What exactly do I mean by using the word cutoff? I will repeat to you verbatim the communication my gracious guides imparted to me many years ago. They simply and very eloquently stated, “2019 will be the end of life on this earth as we know it.” (See, I told you I would put your mind “temporarily” at ease!)

What does this mean, “the end of life as we know it?” Now as the reader, you guys are welcome to glean and speculate anything or anyway you can about what I just shared with you. Although the message for me is an extremely positive one, perhaps my guide’s little message didn’t give some of you much hope. The answers my friends, lie in your perception and interpretation, not to mention, in what we as human beings will be able to achieve vibration-wise in the next few years.

No doubt you probably want to know more about the significance of 2019, but for now and today, let’s stick with the matter at hand –2012. And, before you say anything, yes, I realize over the years there have already been numerous articles and hypothesis made about 2012. I am not really here to rehash everything that has been written or speculated upon as quite frankly, I am not trying to beat a dead horse. (Please excuse the analogy, I would never dream of intentionally hurting an animal, human or any other living thing for that matter!)

What I am intending in this article, with the help of some of my trusty guides and spirit companions, is to sum up what they have taught me over the years regarding the significance of 2012. And then, if the universal force be willing and of course if you are open to it — impart that information over to you! After that, it is up to you to do with the information what you will. Fair enough? Okay, fasten your seatbelts, here I go.

2012 in essence, is all about pulling your head out! I realize some of you are probably in shock right now reading my statement. My gosh, how could one who claims to be so spiritual use the term “pulling your head out?” Well, whilst I do consider myself spiritual and try to reflect that spirituality in my words, thoughts and deeds — let’s face it, I am human! I am a real life person and I attempt to be as real as possible. If your looking for flowery and fluffy, like many other “new-agey” types — then you got the wrong girl! On the other hand, if I do tell you in the course of a conversation to pull your head out — I always mean it in the most spiritual, kumbaya, for the greatest good and all that other fluff stuff way! PJ

You know I really wish I could remedy this attention deficit stuff I have going on. Where was I? Sorry! The whole issue with pulling your head out, is about being more attentive to what is going on not only internationally and throughout the world, but what is going on right in front of your own face. There are so many clues and answers right before your eyes. Believe me when I say, the information is there and you don’t have to be some amazing psychic to get it! You do however, have to, yes, here it comes… pull your head out!

Last year I asked one of my Native American Indian guides Guipago for his predictive contribution on the year 2011. While at that time he was happy to give me his input and wit, I asked him this time and he just looked at me and laughed. I knew what he meant. He meant, “what is the point?” After all, last year he did tell us that there were definitely problems, and to use his own analogy “a rock stuck in the horse’s foot.”

Unfortunately, humans choose to leave the rock and turn a blind eye in return for their own hedonistic and selfish reasons. God forbid anyone have to live without their 50inch HD television screen and their bloody electronic gizmos and gadgets! Guipago sees this ever prevailing lackadaisical attitude and laziness of humans and, well quite frankly — he is pissed off with it. He seems to believe that until the earth crumbles around, above and beneath them, humans won’t listen.

So why waste his time? He did however, take the time to mention his being frustrated that instead of listening to his words, some have tried or attempted to “summon” him for their own selfish reasons. I am not really sure who he is referring to, but, to those he is referring to, his message is: “Your guides will come when your ready, not before, not after — when you are truly ready to hear and abide unselfishly by their teachings. The spirit world is not yours to possess, own or manipulate. It is specific to specific persons and you cannot take, control or attempt to have what is not yours to encounter on this journey.”

Whew! That was pretty deep. Moving on. Yes folks, the information is all there right in front of you. You only have to look and open yourself to it.

Have you ever heard the term “raising your vibration?” Hopefully, you have. But for those who haven’t, let me give you a quick lesson. Everyone is psychic. We all possess a certain amount of psychic and intuitive ability. Some of us may be tapped into it a bit more than others — but, we all have it! Raising your vibration is all about utilizing your intuitive and psychic ability to see beyond the veil and experience the “bigger picture.”

Raising your vibration, seeing beyond the veil and of course my own little gem, “pulling your head out” are all synonymous. Basically what I am saying is, they are all one in the same — the same thing. Humans are all going through this “raising of vibration” at the moment. Unfortunately, some of us are fighting this shift and succumbing to the darker forces out there. The only way humanity and the world can exist and move forward in a positive way, is for each and every one of us to start embracing our intuition and use our “creator given” psychic awareness.

We have to begin to see the bigger scheme of things and only then, can we survive. How do you know when your vibration is raising? It is fairly easy. When you begin to understand that each and every one of us are connected — and that includes plants, animals and humans — you are raising your vibration. When you begin to realize that when any one of those living things are suffering, being mistreated, abused, manipulated or exploited, that every living thing is experiencing the same treatment, then my friend — you are raising your vibration.

All of my guides including Guipago, Tecumseh, Big Tree and even Jim Morrison have alluded to the same basic concept: We, Earth, Animals and Humans are all connected. There is absolutely no separation. And, how we treat each other is ultimately how we are treating ourselves. If we rape and pillage the land, cutting every tree and draining natural gas and oil — we are raping and pillaging ourselves. We have been destroying ourselves almost since the beginning of time and unfortunately, those few who have raised their vibration enough to understand this — are few and far between.

The Garden of Eden is not an abstract fantasy found only in the Bible. We are in fact, living in the Garden of Eden right at this moment. But, we have made an absolute mess of it! How is that for a dose of harsh reality? I have been told and shown time and time again through my guides that there is an extremely thin veil between different worlds and that heaven in fact is right here on Earth. We all need to come together — get it together — and help to heal the Earth, Animals and each other.

When you hear something on the news, question it! Question the hell out of it! Don’t be so quick to “drink the Kool-Aid” as they say. Everything you need is right there in front of you — just watch, observe, listen. Look at things as a puzzle and see how they all connect. I don’t have the time or would even want to go into details on a computer about my thoughts on specific governments, new world orders, laws, civil rights, police states, cashless societies, predetermined elections, frauds, global economies, poisoning through our food, evil pharmaceutical companies, problems with the media, UFO and Aliens, or human tracking devices.

Oh sorry there, did I just end my list with a blurb about human tracking devices? What I meant to say was “smart-phones”. PJ Anyway, I am sure judging by the little list I just gave you, and the use of your intuition, you can “get” what I am trying to say and where I am going with it. It is my hopes that you can and will read between the lines. In a nutshell, there is a hell of a lot of “crap” going on out there, and you only have to open your eyes to see it! You have had the ability all along — it is up to you all to tap into it!

We as a global society and unit have to unplug from the technology and get up, get out, and stand up for and often “against” what is going on and where we are heading. It is time for us to stop being lackadaisical “sheeple” and begin to be what was once our creator’s gift to us of being “people.” It is time for us to stop with all the selfish, self-absorbed me, me, me, and transcend to a higher vibration of we, we, we! It is time for us to lose the mentality of mine, mine, mine and start encompassing the broader view of acting in a manner that is for the higher good of everyone and all. (Which might I add here, includes all life — Plants, Animals, Oceans, Fish, Mountains, Earth etc. )

It is on this exact vein of thought that I would like to once again share a channeled message from Tecumseh, the amazing Indian who fought so hard to preserve his people’s way of life. He had the insight and intuition, even way back then, to see what was happening to the earth. Unfortunately, for all of our sake, he was right on time with his thoughts.

If you haven’t read this before on my Tecumseh blog, and/or even if you have, please take a minute to read his channeled message from a few years back. Try to allow yourself an open your mind and see if you can intuit and feel the urgency and truth contained within his message.

“Tecumseh’s Message”

“If humans continue to let a chosen few dictate — The world as we know it will soon be erased

Sun, Moon and Stars look down with tremendous sadness — hatred, waste and greed — battle cry of “me first madness”

See through the veil of these new political generations — for their tongues speak untruths — out to destroy every nation

Idleness and complacency must cease to exist — Mother Earth lay slowly dying — tumultuous ordeal no longer can she resist

The time is short — and the sands quickly falling — I give you one last thought — one final calling

Open your eyes and open your minds — look behind the grand illusion — see this one last final time

Remember there is strength and goodness in numbers — when humanity’s light prevails — Earth Mother soon can recover”

Pretty powerful message isn’t it? Any thoughts you would like to leave on the comments section about what Tecumseh had to say? We would all love to hear it!

For me the message of Tecumseh pretty much sums up everything I have been shown and taught through my spirit friends and guides. And, even though I have been shown otherwise by one very malevolent visitor who assured me the earth was on an algorithm and there was nothing we could do to change our course, I do believe in free will! I do believe that if we can, yes, wait for it… one more time… “pull our head out” and come together, that we can overcome the odds. But, we have to work fast and begin to do it like yesterday!

So, in this year of 2012, Let’s do our very best to get it together! It’s never too late! Let’s try to be the very best we can possibly be for all of our sakes, and for the sake of the future of the Planet. Let’s try to work together and “unscrew” everything we have screwed up so miserably! Let’s use this opportunity of what some think will manifest in gloom and doom, to consciously raise our vibration and start to turn things around. We can do it I know we can! Believe we can do it and we will! Happy 2012.

World Peace, Universal Love and a Higher Vibration!

The Carlisle Indian Industrial School

8. September 2011 by Kathleen.

Two weeks ago I went on another one of my “infamous” little road trips to visit Carlisle and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. While I am sure the majority of you have heard of Gettysburg and its historical battle, I wonder how many of you are familiar with the history of Carlisle. I say this, not because I think people are generally clueless — but, because what occurred at Carlisle is one of those typically darker aspects of American History that the government would prefer just fade away into the realm of nothingness.

Up until a few years ago, I had never heard anything of Carlisle or the atrocities that went on there. It was through my interactions and guidance from Guipago, Big Tree and Quanah Parker that I was first acquainted with Carlisle. Thanks to them, over the past few years I have come to discover the rewriting, and what I call the “non-writing” of American Indian History has not only been blatant and deliberate — it has also been severely tainted.

To be perfectly candid, I can’t even really recall how Carlisle first revealed itself or came up. But, as with everything Guipago, Big Tree and Quanah Parker have previously lead me to, I knew instinctively they wanted me to go. I also knew in my heart — I had to go! Traveling to Carlisle physically and experiencing all of its essence, would enable me to grow closer to these incredible men I have become so fond of and dependent on for my current spiritual enlightenment.

What is Carlisle and why is it significant? Carlisle, Pennsylvania is the site of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. This military style boarding school ran from 1879 to 1918. The main goal of the school was to transform and “mold” American Indian children into their “civilized” white counterparts. In short, the school’s mission was to “Christianize” and strip the child of anything “Indian” — take them away from themselves.

In the name of assimilation these children, sometimes forcibly taken from their homes, were forced to cut their hair, wear white-man’s clothes, take a new Christian name, and speak only in English. In short, these poor children were forced to give up their entire spirit of being — their very soul. Everything they had come to know throughout their lives as an Indian, everything they identified with, was now forbidden — and wrong!

As you can imagine, throughout this ghastly process and years at Carlisle, many of these children were severely abused and traumatized psychologically. They often suffered from not only separation anxiety and other things of the like, but also from “white-man” diseases such as smallpox and tuberculosis. Illness and death among the Indian children was commonplace and many passed away at the school. In total, a hundred and ninety children are buried at the site of what used to be the Carlisle Industrial School.

Upon my arrival in Carlisle, I headed straight over to the Cumberland County Historical Society as I wanted to look at some photos from the school. One of the first set of photos I stumbled upon was one of a “before and after” type. There I sat silently with tears rolling down my face. I couldn’t believe my eyes — I didn’t want to believe my eyes!

The original old photos were of three Sioux boys, Richard (Wounded) Yellow Robe, Henry Standing Bear and Timber (Chauncey) Yellow Robe. One photo showed their arrival at the school in 1883 and one showed them after their, uh, let’s just say “after”. It was absolutely gut wrenching to look at these photos. Even though I knew they were the same boys — I also knew they weren’t the same boys. It is impossible to even attempt to describe my thoughts or convey the depth of emotion I felt from these photos.

I sat there a while in silent contemplation just staring at the photos. I felt my jaw hanging open and my head shaking back and forth in horror and disbelief. I attempted to sort out my emotions from those of the three boys in the photos — but it was an impossible task. After several minutes went by, I finally managed to break away from my thoughts and went on to look at some other photographs.

It was truly amazing to look at these photos close up and personally. For me, when I look at these old photos I transport myself back in time and connect. I am often able to feel the emotions, moods, vibes and sometimes even smells and sounds of the period. In this particular case, the photos were a somber account of what was going on at the time. Can you imagine what it would be like to be stripped from everything you know and believe?

I continued looking through the photos and talking with the librarian. Just when I thought I was on emotional overload and couldn’t deal with seeing or hearing anything else — something miraculous happened! In the middle of all the photos of the school and students, guess whose photos just happened to be amongst the archives at the CCHS? You guessed it! One Mr. Big Tree and one Mr. Quanah Parker!

I quickly wrote down the photo numbers on a scratch piece of paper, then gave my request to the photo curator guy so he could get them for me. I was so excited! I was going to get to see “real” photographs of my spiritual gurus — new ones, pictures I had never seen before!

The photo curator handed me the original pictures and I set them down on the table. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and then voila, opened my eyes. There before me was a stunning picture of Big Tree and an amazing group photo with Quanah Parker front and center. Oh my gosh, I was in heaven! There amidst everything dismal and depressing, my guides had come to my aide once again.

I don’t know why there was even a picture of Big Tree at the CCHS as he was not listed as a chief who visited the school. In fact, he wasn’t even listed on the list of Kiowa Indians when I checked their computer data-base. He just sort of “showed up” if you know what I mean! Another one of those synchronistic things, showing me my journey was not in vain and a gentle reminder he was with me.

After looking at the photos of Big Tree and Quanah, I felt somewhat comforted and emotionally ready to make my way to the Army Base where the remaining buildings of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School still stand. My momentary burst of mental strength however, was to be rather short lived. As I drove towards the entrance of the base, the first thing I saw was the cemetery — a rather hard smack back to the dreadful reality of the situation.

I parked my car and walked around the old buildings on the base. In my hand I carried two maps. One, a current map of the base given to me at the gate, and another, given to me from the historical society showing the location of the original buildings. It was quite an exercise trying match up the buildings and figure out what was what. Perhaps I am just a bit too idealistic, but hey — how about putting some small placards on the buildings indicating which ones belonged to the school? Would that be asking too much?!

All types of thoughts and emotions permeated my mind and body as I continued walking around the site of the school buildings. I couldn’t get over the fact nothing was marked. Other than a few words carved in stone on the Art Building, and the actual buildings themselves — some of which were built by the students — I saw few remnants of the Indian children even ever being there.

I walked around speechless, lost in a daze as my thoughts went to what the children must have gone through. I thought about the lies and the manipulation that must have occurred when dealing with the parents. I thought about the tragedy of the taking of what is most important in one’s life — not only their childhood, but their identity and belief system. I thought about the relevance of all of this is to our current world situation — believe me, I thought about it all!

Guipago, Big Tree and Quanah have guided me on some amazing adventures in helping to educate and help me reconnect to what I once knew. Up until now, I have always managed to take away something positive in their lessons and teachings. This particular part of my journey however, although necessary, has been painful and hard to swallow. Even in writing this, it is difficult to express what really needs and wants to be said. So, with that in mind, I will turn things over to you the reader, and allow you to fill in the blanks.

As stated in previous stories involving my guides, I am not here to give anyone a history lesson — or in this case, perhaps a lesson in morality. I couldn’t and wouldn’t even if I wanted to! What I am hoping, is those of you out there reading and following along with me on parts of my personal journey, will perhaps be compelled to not only learn more about the plight of the American Indians — but to continue forward on your own road to self-discovery and enlightenment.

In this current climate of colossal change and upheaval, the more of us who can discover and walk down our own individual paths — the more we can illuminate pathways for others. When we take an active role in healing ourselves, we ultimately help in the acceleration of the worldwide healing process. Heal yourself — and you heal others!

Thanks again for reading and riding along on my journey,

Tips for visiting the Carlisle Indian Industrial School

If you do plan to make a trip to Carlisle to see the site of what used to be the Carlisle Indian Industrial School there are a few things you should know. First off, they sure don’t make it easy for you! In the typical “lets try to sweep this under the carpet and hope it goes away fashion”, your going to have to really make an effort in order to figure things out. None of the original buildings are marked and the map of the base you get when you enter the post is just that — a map of the base!

If you are not prior or current military, you will need to stop at the gate and tell them you are going to look at the Indian School buildings. Don’t expect to be welcomed with open arms! When I expressed my desire to visit the buildings, the plump “power has gone to my head rent-a-cop” gave me a nice roll of the eyes and a heavy sigh as though he was totally put out. Sort of comical if you think about it!

Also, if you don’t have a current military ID, be prepared to be searched — and I do mean searched! Short of giving both you and your automobile a complete cavity search, they will want to check everything imaginable! Did I say thorough? Good gosh man, it was so intimidating, I began feeling nervous as though I was actually doing something wrong!

The very best thing you can do when you get to Carlisle is to head straight over to the Cumberland County Historical Society. They are an incredible bunch of people and they have access to knowledge and historical data you can only dream of. Make sure you ask them for the map of the base with the original Indian Industrial School Buildings marked on it. Without this map, you will have an extremely difficult time trying to suss things out on the base. (They close early — make sure you find out their hours before you go!)

Miracle in the Jacuzzi

27. July 2011 by Kathleen.

A few years ago, I rescued an old birdbath from my Grandmother’s backyard. Dating back to the early 1900’s, the bath had been sitting outside neglected for years and was in dire need of some tender loving care. Cosmetically speaking, it isn’t much to look at, but I have grown to love it and apparently — so do the birds!

Over the years, and I guess through “word of beak”, the once abandoned birdbath has now become somewhat of a party central for the bird community. They come from miles around to sit, bathe and share their feathery antidotes for hours on end. Some days there are so many birds out there laughing and carrying on, my grandmother’s old birdbath looks more like a Bird Jacuzzi. You can almost imagine them bringing along their little towels, flip-flops and sunglasses.

During the warm months, every day and sometimes twice a day — depending on the crowd — I go out and clean the dirty water from the birdbath. I then replace it with lovely fresh and clean sparkling water for their enjoyment. One day I was filling up the bath, and as always, there were a few birds waiting patiently on the branches. I was in mid process and had just stepped away to fill up my last container of water, when apparently one of the eager birds left me a “little present”. I am sure you can intuit that a little present loosely translates to bird droppings — okay, let’s be blunt here — it was bird poop!

I came back to empty my last container full of fresh water into the Jacuzzi when I saw my little gift. As you can imagine, sounds of my exasperation permeated the air. “Aargh! Are you guys serious?” I immediately looked up into the pine tree and saw some little sparrows looking at me — one in particular looking as though he was embarrassed. I continued on with my tirade while looking at the little feathered culprit. I explained to him and his Jacuzzi buddies how unfair it was for me to continuously clean up after them — without any effort on their part. After all, I was trying to make this a nice place for them to hang out.

I was on a roll! I went on to explain, after years of my faithful service — coming out every day and cleaning up after them — I deserved a little bit of a break. Something needed to change! Staring up at the tree, more than likely looking like a loon, I went on with my litany of grievances. It was high time they start doing their part in keeping the prized recreation area clean. As of that moment forward I was declaring the birdbath a “poop-free” zone!

I couldn’t help but laugh at myself as I stood making my proclamation. Here I was standing under pine trees, going off on a tangent on some poor little birds — most of them probably innocent “bird-standers” if you know what I mean! Feeling a little bit guilty as though perhaps they didn’t deserve my verbal lashing, I finished pouring in the clean water and walked away so they could have their privacy.

I didn’t think too much more about my little rant that day or in the days that followed. A few weeks later I was pouring clean water into the birdbath when something suddenly donned on me. The birdbath had been clean for the past several weeks — no presents leftover from an “all-dayer”. Oh my gosh I thought to myself, then immediately burst out laughing. They heard me! The birds were actually listening to me that day and apparently passed the word on to all of their bird buddies.

I wasn’t even consciously trying to communicate with animals that day — but apparently, they were in communication with me! Hmmm… just goes to show you never know when the animals are listening!

What is the moral in this story?

It isn’t always Big Brother you have to worry about — Big Bird is watching too! PJ

Past Lives and Present Lives

20. June 2011 by Kathleen.

Many people that come to see me often ask if I can connect them with their past lives. Sure… I can do that! But guess what? You can connect yourself! It isn’t that complicated if you are able to have a little faith in your own abilities and your own intuition. You may not be able to get exact specifics, or actually see yourself back in time in a psychic sense — but, you will be able to figure out some of the basics. The easiest way to accomplish this and delve into your past lives, is to look for clues in your present life.

First look at any irrational, obsessive or “quirky” types of behaviors or aspects to your life. Look for any facets to your life that have absolutely no rhyme or reason. What do I mean, you ask? Well let me give you some examples from my own life:

When I was at University, I studied German Language — what prompted me to study German?? At the time, I didn’t have a clue! I had never visited Germany and I didn’t even know any German people. In fact, I had never really even heard the language spoken. What was the appeal? Well, I found out about 10 years ago, one of my past lives was in fact in Germany. Too easy to be true you say? Perhaps, but let us keep going.

Here’s another example. In this life I have an incredible fear of horses. It isn’t that I don’t like them — in fact, I think they are absolutely magnificent animals — I am just terrified of them. Did something happen to me in this life that would cause me to fear horses? No! Other than two brief experiences in childhood, I have never really been around horses much in this life.

So what is my problem? In a case like this one, I had to take a step back and ask myself, “what exactly is it, that frightens me about horses?”. Well, let me tell you. When I see a horse anywhere in my proximity, I will suddenly become very nervous and anxious, as I am afraid the horse is going to bolt towards me, kick me in the head and/or proceed to trample me to death. I always have this constant unshakable feeling that the horse will run me down for some reason. Hmm… past life incident?? I will let you be the judge.

Let us pause here for a moment and review. Okay, I am definitely not saying that wanting to learn to speak German is irrational — please don’t get the wrong message! I am also not saying just because you “like” or are interested in something that it was a part of your past life. It isn’t like you can say, “oh gosh I have been obsessed with Elvis since I was a child — I must have been Elvis in a past life!”. You have to use a bit of discretion, a “huge” bit of your intuition and some sleuthing on your part to fit the puzzle together.

Let me give you another example from an American Guy I met when I was in Dublin. I was at the pub in my hotel, waiting for my friend, when I began conversing with two young American guys. As the conversation went on, the one guy began to mention that he was currently studying Japanese language. Since I have a strong background and interest in language and linguistics, I asked him why he choose Japanese. I wanted to know what exactly it was that attracted him to the language. He expressed to me, that similar to my experience with German, he also had never been to Japan and didn’t really have a rhyme or reason for his choice.

After listening to his response, I sat there for a few seconds in thought. Almost as quickly as he had answered the question — I saw a psychic flash of him as a Japanese Kamikaze Pilot. When I told him what I saw — he, being a skeptic of all things psychic, shrugged me off and didn’t pay much attention.

For my own peace of mind and attempting to make sense of my vision, I asked him if he liked traveling and if he enjoyed the experience of flying in an airplane. He immediately tensed up, looked at me sort of angrily and said, “I hate to fly… all planes lead to death!”. Okay are you with me here readers? Do you not think that is one of the strangest comments a person can make? Well, not if you were a Kamikaze Pilot in your previous incarnation — then, the comment would be perfectly understandable!

Can you see where I am going with all this? You have to look at clues in your own life! You may not be able to piece together the specifics and figure out exactly what, when or who you were — or actually see yourself psychically as I am sometimes able to do — but the clues are there! I am not saying that every single like and dislike involves a past incarnation — but, I am saying that if you have some totally irrational fear — like his comment about airplanes — or some really odd passion that seemed to come from nowhere, then chances are, it may have to do with a past life.

Do you always wear your hair in a 1920’s style for absolutely no reason? Are you obsessed or interested in some culture other than your own? Do you have compulsions or quirks that have absolutely no rhyme or reason as to their origin? Do you have a natural talent for something that you weren’t really around in this life? Look for clues — then use your intuition to let you know if your actually onto something. If you feel there is something to your intuitive ideas — then more than likely — there is some type of connection!

Now let us change gears here and touch on present lives a bit. The same concept of looking for clues can also be applied for understanding what your soul purpose and potential is in this life. When you’re a child, you are closest to your incarnation and remembering why you came down to Earth. During your childhood you will most often release those memories of your soul purpose by acting them out through speech, playing or behavior.

Look for clues in your childhood. What did you say you wanted to be when you grew up? What were your dreams when you were a child? Did you used to pretend you were an astronaut and now in adult life you’re a pilot? Did you used to say you were going to help animals when you grew up and now you’re a Vet Tech? Then chances are you are definitely fulfilling part of your soul purpose!

Let us change gears again one final time. If you are unfortunately one of those people who are unhappy and frustrated with your life — perhaps you haven’t been following your true soul purpose and potential. Were you very outgoing as a child, but the world somehow managed to crush your spirit and now your very shy and reserved? Or perhaps you used to dress up like a movie star and pretended you were famous, but your parents told you it was an unrealistic and to stop acting like a ninny!

Sometimes, well okay most times, it is the actual road blocks from our childhood that we need to overcome to get to our true soul purpose — it is all “part of the plan” if you know what I mean! I guess what I am trying to say here is, if your feeling stuck and unhappy in your current life direction — go back and revisit your childhood dreams! It is never to late to make changes in your life — especially if it involves what you feel is your true calling!

As for me, I never stop dreaming! One of my current dreams is to get over my “horse-panic” so that I can experience the joy of being “one” with a horse — and reconnect with one of my past lives! Ever since I saw a scene from a movie called Black Cloud, where the actor Eddie Spears rides a horse bareback through a beautiful canyon, free and unencumbered — I have really wanted to learn how to ride and have that understanding. I can’t imagine how amazing it must be to ride a horse bareback — hopefully sometime in this life it will manifest. Hmm… can you say Kathleen is going totally off topic again? Would my Blog be my Blog if I didn’t occasionally go totally off topic every now and then?

So remember, if your trying to delve into your past lives or your soul purpose for this life — look for clues, by all means trust your intuition, and as the famous Journey song says… don’t stop believing!

(I had to put some “corn” in there with the Journey song reference! PJ )

As always, I hope your having a groovy day!

Guipago’s Wisdom for 2011- A Bumpy Ride

28. March 2011 by Kathleen.

 

A few days before the New Year… and by New Year… I mean January 2011 — I was talking to one of my “peeps”. By peeps, I mean one of my “spirit friends” and by one of my spirit friends – I mean guides, teachers, gurus etc. Still with me? On this particular evening I just happened to be having a chat with none other than the man himself — the guy I like to refer to as “G-man”.

Who is G-man? His proper Indian name is Guipago — however his “white dude” name was Lone Wolf. He is/was a Principle Chief and Medicine Man of the Kiowa Indians. He is/was also part of the Koitsenko which was an elite group of the ten greatest warriors of that same tribe. Let’s just say in short… he was one bad mama-jama!

I will delve more into him later in my upcoming blog — you know — the one that I keep say I am going to write. How long has it been… months? So alrighty then… as usual around the time of the upcoming new year, I ask, enquire or sometimes even meditate on what the new year will bring. This night I was pondering the meaning of life and having the intention to write a Happy New Years, Kumbaya, Peace to all Peeps and People type of thing, when I just happened to sense Guipago lurking about listening to my thoughts.

He has always given me great words of wisdom and ironically enough, his great words of wisdom always comes in the form of “one liners” — not to mention consistently peppered with a great amount of sarcasm. I was telling him I was thinking about writing a blog for the New Year and if he would like to give me any meaningful predictions that I could throw into it.

After thinking for a few minutes and then smiling at me he said, “This year is going to be like riding a horse who has a big rock stuck in it’s foot”.

Ah… once again the wisdom of the great G-man! I have only ridden a horse on two occasions very long ago and I was trying to think about how it might be to ride a horse with a rock in it’s hoof… bumpy ride… ups and downs… hmm… thinking… thinking… thinking about what he said.

After he gave me this brilliant insight, I thought to myself “oh yeah cool this is a good general prediction for mankind”. Little did I know that he must have been speaking directly to me as well because… my gosh man, what a freaking year it has been so far! Here it is April in a few days and I have just now had the chance to sit down and write. My year has not only had it’s ups and downs already — but I compare it to me being like a toy-top and someone pulled the string so I just keep spinning and spinning… never coming to a rest. I am like all over the place!

So in regards to Guipago’s analogy… I get it. Man do I get it! Whew do I ever get it! Someone Take the rock out — for gosh sake, someone please take the rock out! G-man came to me a few years ago and I have to say — fortunately and unfortunately — he has never been wrong yet.

So, in writing you today, I am wanting to first apologize for taking so long to scribble anything down on “computer” and though I can’t make any promises, I will try to get the other stuff written! It is in my head, just not on computer. Good intentions — yes I know, I know!

Secondly, I want to wish everyone a much overdue Happy 2011! Hopefully everything is going groovy for all you out there!

Last but not least… I am wondering as I write this if any of you feel that Guipago was right on time with his prediction for 2011 for your life, and can you relate? There have been several people going to the comment section on my blog — but no one ever leaves a comment. It would be really really cool to hear from some of you who are reading and have read this — I know your out there!

Thanks again for reading and in case your living and breathing Guipago’s prediction in your own life — you might want to think about investing in a seatbelt the next time you go horseback riding!

Aargh aargh aargh! (the corn continues!)

Giving Gratitude

24. November 2010 by Kathleen.

 

With the advent of the holiday season upon us, I thought it might be a good opportunity for me to channel my “inner-blogger” and write about the spirit of giving — giving gratitude in particular.

I bet right about now you are probably shaking your head and thinking, “oh no! It’s going to be one of those typical spiritual everybody hold hands - kumbaya - peace to all people type of narratives”.

Am I right? J Well it is — in a sense — well okay — you got me — it is in a big sense! Since it would be absolutely unspeakable — not to mention utterly blasphemous of me to even attempt to pull the wool over your eyes — I won’t — I will do my best to tell it like it is!

This subject actually rooted itself in my mind a few weeks ago when I was in the Chicago Airport… err… the Denver Airport … err… the Washington Dulles Airport… and well the list goes on, but I will stick to the busiest Airports for the sake of trying to illustrate my point.

Has anyone had the “pleasure” of traveling through those airports lately? I won’t say which it is I think is the rudest and most chaotic airport, as that wouldn’t be very “spiritual” of me… puts hands up to mouth and coughs… Chi- cough- go! But my gosh man! Sometimes you need to put yourself in an altered state of consciousness to be able to deal with it! J. There are People running into you, people pushing you, people standing in your way, people rolling their suitcase over your foot… all this without even so much as an excuse me or sorry about that.

If you based your opinion of humanity solely on the people you come across in those Airports, you might conclude that 98% of the human population is part of what I like to refer to as the “it’s all about me - it’s all about my needs” generation. Can you imagine these people doing their morning meditations?

(picture a person sitting crossed-legged in meditation position chanting)

Ohm… Meeee… Ohm… Meeee… Ohm… Me Me Me Meeeee… It’s all about Meeeeeee!

Have I lost you already? Have I gone completely off on one of my typical “Kathleen tangents”? I hope not! In fact, I hope a few of you reading this are feeling my pain.J

I share my experiences in the airports because for me, they always seem to be a gentle reminder that in today’s society — while there are definitely some amazing people out there — a lot of us have, unfortunately, become totally disconnected.

The majority of us seem to have somehow lost any type of respect or gratitude whatsoever for not only humanity — but all creations Mother Earth. We have become accustomed to taking and not giving back anything in return — even being rude to someone is an act of taking. I refer to this process of give and take as exchanging energy — there should always be an even and equal exchange of energy.

When someone constantly takes — whether it be from people, animals or mother earth — without giving back — that person is in effect depleting that organism of their energy. To put it a little more bluntly they are sucking the life force out of them!

I decided to write this, well okay, I decided to ramble a bit, because I think that giving gratitude is something that is extremely important and that the world would be a much nicer place if people would just simply give gratitude.

Believe me, I am not under any false illusions or trying to state that by simply giving gratitude we will solve all the problems that we, animals and the earth are currently facing. I am merely saying that through attempting to use gratitude more in our everyday lives, it can help to open doors that will help accelerate the worldwide healing process.

What is giving gratitude you may ask? Giving Gratitude is all very simple. Sometimes it can be as simplistic as just saying thank you to someone — yes, just a sincere, heartfelt thank you. Hmm, saying thank you — what a concept!

It can be as easy as holding the door open for someone or giving them eye contact, a smile and saying hello, you know — honoring and acknowledging them as a fellow being.

Here are some other typical scenarios where we might give gratitude:

If someone positively affected change in your life through their kind act, word , or deed — give them some gratitude, write them, call them, let them know that they helped you in your path on earth and that you appreciate what they did!

If someone has inspired you in a creative way whether through their music, their poetry, their words, their style, their website — whatever the case — give them some gratitude, write them, call them, let them know that they inspired you in some way to open your mind or look at things in a different way!

If your Animal Companion has been there for you through thick and thin, or taught you some spiritual lessons — maybe even saved you from yourself — give them some gratitude, take them out to a special park, make a special meal just for them, buy them a new squeaky toy, tell them — they understand believe me!

Last, but definitely not least — give gratitude to Mother Earth by planting a tree, recycling, cutting down on waste, using less water, etc.!

So there you have it… Giving Gratitude… makes you feel good… makes others feel good… helps in the world healing process… let’s face it… in short… it’s just a wonderful thing to do!

On that note, I am going to end it here. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and your life is filled with love, peace, healing, enlightenment and maybe a few out of body experiences!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for visiting my blog,

See you next time at the Back of the Blue Bus,

Hellooooooooo!

8. November 2010 by Kathleen.

If you have managed to make it to this page…then right-on, kumbaya and all that other ”groovy” stuff! First and foremost I have to apologize to you for my total lack and disregard for any and all things “techno”! Do you see the picture of the Blue Bus?? That is actually supposed to be in my “header” …but as I just explained… I am an absolute ”techno moron” so you will just have to deal with the “cheesy stock photo” of a firework until I become a bit more “saavy” with this blog stuff. Again… my deepest regrets and sincere apologies!

Secondly on my agenda is to let you know that I am sooooooo not a “blogger” type of person — whatever in fact a “typical blogger type of person” is… well I don’t think I am… but I guess that remains to be seen! I decided to begin writing about some of my experiences with the “mystical realm” through the encouragement and should I say “urging of some of my dearest friends and “Mom”. Personally… I think they were just tired of hearing my stories… thus the encouragement to “relate them to a wider audience”.

Oky doky… all kidding aside… let me get serious for a moment. Over the years I have had some incredible psychic experiences — everything from intense visitations of spirits… to waking up in different dimensions. I have always been very private with these “mystical happenings” in the past, however I thought that by sharing some of the messages, I might bring some hope, inspiration and comfort to some people. Well… if nothing else maybe I can give someone a good laugh for the day!

 Since I’ve already “reviewed” my techno illiteracy… I want you to know that I will be putting my individual stories on seperate pages as that is all I can figure out at the moment.

I hope you will join me…

See you at the Back of the Blue Bus!
