I want you all just to relax, and go within to where your heart speaks.  Let's take a moment to focus our thoughts, calm our hearts, and join together to enjoy this event.

 

 

 

Thank you! That was wonderful! I hope you will all realize that thoughts are real things, and when we participate in a group activity, we are one with each other. Tonight we come together to share ideas and insights that I draw from my experiences with Mediumship.

I have been a medium for over twenty years. Many times I am asked what the other side looks like and what do they do, etc. etc.... I often feel that I am not giving out the full truth when I try to describe the other world to people, because I cannot do the feelings and sites I see enough justice. We are limited with descriptions that can apply only to the physical world. So when I tell you something was "colorful", what I see, does not match the description!

The same is very true of us when we pass over. One of the first experiences a person has upon dying is an overwhelming sense that they are part of the 'whole', a part of the piece of the puzzle, as it were.

There is an "opening," or realization, that you are bigger than you ever knew, and that you as a soul being, encompasses a much larger landscape than just your physical body.

This physical body is the densest of all of our bodies. It is the heaviest...and brings with it, its own limitations, weight of self and of the mind. Many choose to see their world from the limited physical perspective, instead of looking beyond their physical body to a much larger picture.

Tonight, I wanted to discuss the "regrets" that I have found most spirits speak about, upon their revisit to this earth level, based on my communications with them.

In "Spirit" you see yourself for who you truly are. Unfortunately, it is then and only then, when people will first wakeup and realize who they truly are, and will often say, "OH, if only I knew this when I was alive, my life would have been so different!"

In the spirit form of life...one sees their hearts and what they are made of. Many regret that they lived within LIMITATIONS, and bought into it the fear and limited aspects of life.

So many have discussed how they were so fearful of death, that this fear seemed to be transferred to many aspects of their lives, where they were forced to take a risk with the unknown.

How many of you are fearful of the unknown???

They will come through all the time and tell people NOT to fear death, for it is a natural occurrence, and it does NOT hurt!!

When people pass, they will indeed be met with a "life review," where you get to "re-experience" EVERY thought, EVERY word; you had in the earth world. From the larger perspective...they will often say, "Oh, I was so thoughtless!" or "Why did I think such bad things?"

You are your own judge and jury!

They more times than not realize that the earth world is the school house, and that the people in their lives are their teachers. They begin to understand how EVERY person in their life had a meaning. They begin to understand the limitations others also place on themselves.

Those who live in fear instead of love, those who are insecure, because they fear how others will react, they see how LOVE is indeed the healing energy, and that LOVE and only LOVE brings us closer to the Source.

They regret not telling their loved ones they loved them. They will often wish they had that one more chance to tell them.... so they go around their living relatives trying to transmit those thoughts into their heads, but the person(s) receiving the thoughts...have so much grieving emotion attached to the loved one, that they don't receive the message correctly.

Therefore, I say to each and everyone of you.... please DON'T wait till you pass into Spirit for this realization. Tell your loved ones now how much you love them. Change people's lives and bring love to those who are in fear, those who are in darkness and limitations of the mind.

This leads me to tell you also...that Spirit often comes back and tells me how many INCREDIBLE opportunities they had that they let go of.  Chances to change the ËNERGY of someone from fear to love. For instance, I ask you...

How many of you walk down a street and smile at strangers....and acknowledge them???? If you just did that one-day.... you would notice a positive change in your own space. You create your reality based on your thoughts!

Bring your thoughts to the highest levels of possibilities, because remember always....God says YES, we (EGOS) say NO!! May each one of you find the divine within yourselves and celebrate it within everyone you meet.
