One Psychic Says: "Enough With The 'Quantum' Nonsense"

Look, there's only one reason a psychic reader or a spiritualist uses the word "quantum": they're trying to manipulate you into believing what they say. It sounds super-scientific, doesn't it? Must be true!

That kind of manipulation is insulting to the person they're speaking to. It's as if they don't believe you should think about what they're saying and decide for yourself if it makes sense. They'd rather you just shut up and swallow whatever you're being spoon fed.

It's a symbol of their lack of faith in you. Of course, on the other side sometimes it's more about a lack of faith in themselves.

They might have a point worth exploring, but they've immediately buried it under this cloying need for approval. They're so worried about people believing what they say, so self-conscious about these ideas, that they need to pepper their language with buzzwords like "quantum" or "energy field" or "wave particle duality".

So, as a psychic and a spiritualist, I say enough; we don't need these crutches. Humans are marvelous, beautiful, and want enlightenment. Let's treat them that way.

Here, try this on for size: love everyone. It makes the world a better place.

Did that lack impact because I forgot to mention the scientific rationale for it? No. And do you know why? Because you're not a psychopath, that's why. You get it.

How about this one: we're all connected.

Oh, did I forget to add "on a quantum level"? That's because if I did that would be stupid, frankly. We share the same air, we live on the same planet, we survive by the same sun. Of course we're all connected, in thousands and millions of ways and levels and the more you look the more you'll see.

Take a moment now and consider this. Isn't it the most easy thing in the world to see? So why would I try to box you into my little "quantum level" frame?

One last one: you can change the world.

No, dammit, not because of quantum physics. You can change the world because you have power.

Now granted, it might have been sleeping, but you can wake that power up. It wants to wake up. We call it by a lot of names: love, compassion, kindness, or just plain humility - that deep burning desire in you to see joy grow inside others.

You can change the world by using that power. You can smile at someone today. Just that. That's a start. That counts. That can change five full minutes of a stranger's life.

From there you can thank someone today for just being who they are and doing what they do. You can treat someone with kindness when they're feeling down. You can laugh with someone.

And person by person, moment by moment, little by little, you can create thousands of sparks of joy that ignite a wildfire of kindness that sweeps this planet and changes everything on every level.

You can do this. This is the truth, and a truth you know without my having to rationalize it in pseudo-scientific "quantum" language. Nobody can take that away from you, and nobody needs to convince you, and we don't need anybody's permission. It's something you already have a handle on, something you already know and didn't need me to teach you. All I'm doing here is saying: "Look at that. Isn't that awesome?"

No more manipulation. Only truth.

Growth Means Becoming Someone Else

You can't become the person you want to be unless you're willing to let go of the person you are.

I knew a guy once who used to say "well I'm just like that, that's just who I am," at least twice during every conversation we ever had.

This meant that, as the years wore on, he never did anything new. Everything was filtered through the thought "is this who I really am? Am I a guy that does something like that?" Then he'd go inside, look for a memory of something he had experienced that might be similar, and if he didn't find one he'd refuse to participate.

You could say that this was his Ego dominating his life. His current state was the perfect state, and must not be touched.

Most people sense the inherent danger in this. To truly live and extend oneself, you must leave your comfort zone. You must do something wonderful and new even if it "isn't you". The alternative is to lead a stagnate, colourless life.

Recently I was reminded that there is another step. Dipping your toe in unfamiliar waters just to see what is there is only the beginning.

What if there's something you want to do that is radically different than the way you've been your whole life? What if you want to learn a new language, or become a musician, or an aerobics instructor? What if there's absolutely nothing in your entire life that would indicate you could pull any of that off, but you've decided that it's something you want?

First of all, if you're on the fence about something like this, I hereby encourage you to go for it. Life is far too long to spend it suffering in the hell that is "what if".

Next, spend a half-hour every single day doing the new thing. Now, your life won't accommodate the new thing because you don't currently do the new thing. That isn't who you are. But if you want it to become this new person who does this thing, then something else is going to have to be removed for a half-hour a day.

This is where the sacrifice of who you were comes in. Something in your life is going to have to go away so that you can replace it with this new thing.

That might be easy. After all, you might be the kind of guy who spends 3 hours watching TV every night. Now you can be a 2 hour a night kind of guy. That'll be just the way you are.

Or, it might be hard. You might be pushed for family time, work time, and your volunteer work on top of all of the housework that never seems to be caught up. If that's the case, either your work hours or the volunteer hours need shaving back, or someone else is going to have to handle more housework. In any case, you're going to have to pick something and let it go.

Or, it might be nearly impossible. You might be trying to change a habit or get over a phobia that has controlled you all your life. Letting go of these things you do in favor of NOT doing them is tough. Still, people do it every day. You just have to decide to do it, figure out what you want to replace it with, and go out there to find the help you need to cross the finish line.

No matter what the case, however, everything is always possible as long as you're willing to let go of your old life in favor of the new one. To our Ego, that sounds a bit like dying. It will fight back with anger and fear and bitter cynical "but you don't understand" nonsense. Ignore it, and change anyway.

Kill the Ego definition of who you are, and give birth to the new Ego definition of who you are becoming.

Just one last thought: the things we say and do in a day define us. Thinking and dreaming don't count. So if you've read a new book and adopted a new philosophy, more power to you, but you haven't changed unless either your actions or your words have. Don't let the Ego trick you into thinking that simply wishing will make it so!

Now. The world is yours. How would you like to enjoy it?

The Most Boring, And Most Powerful, Spiritual Habit

There is something you can do that can transform the planet. Do this, and the mountains will leap out of your way when they see you coming. It isn't hard, it doesn't take a lot of skill or genius, and doesn't even take a lot of faith.

The catch: it's such a very deeply boring thing to write about. Seriously, it's like a blogger's death-wish to discuss it. So, if I really want to get you to read this article, I'll wait a bit to tell you what it is.

Instead, I'll give you an example of someone who uses this incredible power and has already transformed the landscape of the planet. This guy:

DIVINATION: Finding Your Path

Today as I prayed and meditated the above title appeared in my mind, in that place where Divine direction appears. The tone of the message was different than usual. Often I feel like I'm being "pushed" by Inspiration to do something, but this time it was just presented as a gift. "Here, have this, and enjoy it if you'd like."

Well now. It appears I finally have permission to publish a book... and it couldn't be on a more perfect subject.

Now I draw to myself the resources I've collected over the years, from gigabytes of online articles to my boxes of moldy out-of-print tomes about the subtle arts of divination. For centuries mankind has sought knowledge beyond time, space and meaning, and now I will call their names. They are the Runes of the ancient northern cultures, Tarot of the European nations, and Palmistry of the Vedics and of the Hermetics. Astrology, Tea Leaves, Bone Casting,
