The intimate moments I share with a client who is struggling with the fact that their life on this earth is coming to a close can be very emotional to say the least. Many times the fear is so great that it can prevent someone from enjoying the last days they have. Its these individuals whom I go to work for everyday, for they provide me with purpose and teach me about the strength of the human spirit.

I was asked to place an audio recording on my blog where I could be heard speaking about the fear of death. Frequently, people will ask me where they can go to hear me speak, as I’ve been told many times that people find my voice to be calming  and therapeutic. Since a blog is mostly about reading and some of you have never heard me in-person, this will give you a chance to connect with me in a more personal way.

May this help those in need of recovering from their fears of uncertainty and provide them with the strength for a new day and a new outlook.

Lets dive right in… Are Premonitions and psychic ability the same thing? The answer is a big fat YES. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines premonition as: anticipation of an event without conscious reason. The same dictionary defines the word psychic as: sensitive to nonphysical or supernatural forces and influences.

I believe that for most people who do not make a life out of being psychic, like I do, they tend not to label psychic happenings as psychic, they choose to label those happenings as premonitions. It’s easier to believe that “Normal” people have premonitions while only crystal ball wearing, tarot card turning, palm reading crazy’s are psychic. The real truth is that everyone who has the ability to love also has the ability to be psychic.

Dark, self centered, narcissistic individuals unable of giving or receiving love only transmit information via their ego. The rest of us who are always searching for answers in life while loving and learning from each other, are able to perceive information from the same place we originally came from – GOD.

The word Psychic is actually Greek in origin and means: “of the soul“. There are many ways to look at premonitions if you don’t believe in psychic ability. Some evolutionists even like to think of it as a sort of evolved natural attunement of the brain, that after thousands of years has almost gone dead as a lack of not needing it anymore. Others say it is the work of the devil. I of-course know it to be nothing more than the same type of “awareness” I experience everyday.

Psychic ability is nothing more than the ability to perceive a higher frequency or vibration in the environment around us. That’s it, nothing fancy at all. Just simply put, a premonition is a “flash” of psychic ability. Now that we know that psychic perception and premonitions are the same thing, lets talk about why people are always having negative premonitions.

To answer this question we must first understand the speed of vibration and its relevance to the earth. Here on earth, unlike Heaven or what I call the Other Side, we are existing in a state of negativity. This negativity allows us to physically experience and gain education and knowledge, unlike on the Other Side where we are in a state of perfection. In a perfect environment you can learn from a book all about the negative happenings but until your actually in an environment where the lightening can strike your very flesh, you will never truly know what it is like. In other words, you learn nearly nothing in a perfect environment but you can accelerate the learning process by experiencing the negative directly. You’ve heard the saying: “What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger”. That’s what life is all about.

So we live in a state of negativity and yes, this is for your benefit. Of-course the draw back to living in a negative atmosphere is that, unlike in a perfect environment, nothing is under control. The emotions are raw, the thoughts are reckless and the constant battle is underway to help become more in control of them. In a perfect environment, like that of the Other Side, everything is held in a constant state of love and knowledge. There is no impulsiveness, no unthought-about reactions occurring.

So it makes sense then to understand that all things including thoughts are vibrations, and if you release these vibrations in a negative environment, they will most likely become absorbed by someone sooner or later. Since negativity in this environment travels so much faster than positive vibrations, we can assume that most people who are not in-control of their minds sixth sense, will absorb and become conscious of the negative vibrations way more than the positive ones.

It’s all about awareness and control, the basic lessons of life. Apply these lessons to your mind and you will begin to control the constant bombardment of negative premonitions. You’ll start having more and more positive ones as you align your mind and your receptivity to the positive wavelengths of God and the perfection of the Other Side.

Meditation, knowledge, learning and constantly reaffirming positive thoughts about yourself will start you off on a path of less and less negative psychic experience. Don’t take my word for it, try it and see for yourself!

Most of my clients are those who have usually before me, never had a psychic reading. I enjoy people who are skeptical because I believe skepticism can be healthy. I don’t in any way, cater to those individuals I refer to as psychic junkies. I stop that garbage before it ever starts. I only allow my clients to see me one time every twelve months. Yep, that’s right, only one time a year! That’s all anyone ever needs. I should not be used to find out if the married man your seeing is going to be leaving his wife to finally start a life with you. Or, if taking a bath with an egg floating in the water will remove the curse that someone placed on you. Really people?? Really??

First of all, there is absolutely NO such a thing as a curse. The only person who can put a curse on you is YOU! Secondly, if the man your seeing after 11 years still hasn’t left his wife… IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!  Life is about creating, its about design and blood, sweat and tears also. You must MAKE your life happen. You can’t just wait on everything (and everyone), otherwise you’ll be waiting until you die.

I remember the first time I was apart of a psychic fair, all the “psychics” had little tables set up around the room and there they spoke with a client while turning over tarot cards or casting ruins. The first thought running through my mind was “What the hell is going on here?” How was I supposed to provide an intimate quiet moment of healing with any kind of privacy? To say the least, I outgrew that experience very quickly. I know there are some honest psychics trying to make a living at these psychic fairs but for the most part it is a way to bring everyone’s wallet to the same place. Not my idea of a spiritually healing environment. Many psychics I’ve known have more mental illness than you could find at the local psychiatric hospital. As a client, you MUST be careful. The big majority of psychics I’ve found are just clinging to an opportunity to feel self-worth. They want to help someone soooo bad that they cant stand it. Trust your gut and go by referral only and please don’t trust your friends referral who has been to 37 psychics this month!

Dependency on a psychic reading is also a very bad thing. Having a consultation with a reputable psychic should open the doors to new realizations and provide you with answers to the questions that help make you a better person. Psychics who repeatedly see the same client several times a week, a month or even a year are doing nothing but taking advantage of the situation and in no way are they helping the client to stand on their own. I’ve had psychics say to me that they can’t fully help a client after just one reading. First of all, a psychic should not be taking the place of a qualified therapist. If your client needs daily or weekly consultations just to function in the world, then they need those consultations to be with a mental health professional and not a psychic. Yes, it is possible as a psychic to help someone in just one visit, I do it all the time. Only in regards to those clients I work with that are nearing the end of their lives, do I see more often. I never limit the number of times I will consult with someone who is dying, but I will not keep others from living their lives by keeping them dependent on my services.

So many of the people I come across are completely consumed with whether the stars are in the right place for them to begin their lives. So wasteful! Your life is happening now. Right now. You must realize that the seconds ticking away even as your reading this blog post are now behind you and there is no way to get them back. Time is also moving quickly and its all we can do to simply keep up. Don’t sit there hoping that one day your desires will manifest. Psychic readings can be miraculously life changing, but they don’t do the work for you.

~Unwavering

~Magnetism

~Bountiful

~Luminous

~Exemplary

Five words, one amazing key to unlocking your potential. Together they spell HUMBLE and this one word can serve as a constant reminder of the state we should find ourselves in as often as possible. The opposite of humble is ego and ego can interfere in our lives and destroy, as well as cloud our vision. There is a way to live your live, a universal way which any person can adopt and become better for doing so. While at the same time, using it to pave the road ahead towards the least amount of regret.

This guidance comes in the form of five words which collectively describe the opposite of ego. These five words are Honesty, Unwavering, Magnetic, Bountiful, Luminous, and Exemplary. They are a road map and a reminder of they way to minimize regret and repeated failure. They are very generous words and even more generous as ideals.

~Honesty.  The obvious idea here is that one should not be telling lies. However, that lesson is easily learned, provided you have been caught in one and have at least a small conscious, you should know rather quickly that being dishonest is not a valuable trait. I am not speaking about the obvious though. I want you to dig deeper here and truly define honesty in every aspect of your life. Sometimes this means identifying with the less desirous side of who we are. Acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of ourselves is key to really telling the truth. Be honest with yourself about EVERYTHING and you will be more honest with others as a result.

~Unwavering.  Steady, consistent, determined, dedicated. All these words describe what it means to be unwavering. In life there will be times when you feel as though the effort required is simply too much to bear. There will be times when giving up or settling seems far easier… and it usually is. However, there is only one way to the top and that is to keep climbing. One sure way exists to minimize the realization of regret once your life has come to an end, and that is to be unwavering in your efforts. Simply waking up in the morning is an achievement for me some days. I am not about giving up and rarely accept compromise into my life. I want that moment, that amazingly monumental moment at the end of my life when I’m standing on the Other Side knowing without a doubt that I tried… everyday.

~Magnetism.  This word can be defined as: “possessing an extraordinary ability to attract.” The question I hear the most in my practice is: “Why is this happening to me?”  The answer I give out: “Because you attracted it.” The statement I receive back from the client never changes either. “NO I DIDN’T!!!!” Again I reassure them, oh yes, you did. It can sound like the most cruel and down right evil answer to a person who is dying of a terminal illness or to a survivor of rape or any other tragedy. However, there is a reason for everything in life, even the bad stuff. People have a very hard time understanding that the only and I repeat only reason we are here on this earth is to learn. Unfortunately the most valuable of educations come with a price. Perspective is the key here. You must be honest with yourself about the education you are receiving as a result of the experience at hand. Bankruptcy, broken arm, the loss of a child, cancer, it doesn’t matter, you must start with honesty and then become unwavering in your efforts to perceive the available education. Once you open your mind to the idea of healing by way of learning, you begin to turn your magnetic ability up a notch. The proper mindset and perspective will cause you to attract understanding and wisdom. You are always given the opportunity to become better from your challenges. Each “issue” in your life is a chance to gain a piece of knowledge to take with when you leave. You will pull towards you what you need and you will most likely continue to do this until you have formed the proper mindset regarding your circumstances. Don’t hate the world or yourself when tragedy strikes. Be honest with yourself about why this is in your life and then become unwavering in your efforts to gain proper perspective so you can turn around and help someone else.

~Bountiful.  All people are bountiful even if what they are harboring is as dark as the night. However, even those individuals who offer nothing but negativity, can still be of value to the rest of us. This is an area where excess is a good thing. For those of us who have love and light to give, hopefully we have more of it than we can contain, this way the overflow is a blessing to others. In regards to the dark sided individuals, well, I’ll go ahead and thank you now for providing me with ways to become a stronger and more resilient individual. Remember the earlier comment about perspective???? Being bountiful with your blessings is a for sure way to reduce the regret that none of us want. Spread the love! If you don’t have enough to give out, it’s because your your not being honest and unwavering in your efforts to learn. After all, sharing knowledge is one way to spread the love.

~Luminous.  You would probably guess that the meaning of the word luminous has to do with being bright. You wouldn’t be far from the truth except for one tiny detail. Where does that light or brightness come from? A definition of the word luminous is, “Emitting light, especially emitting self-generated light.” Self generated light, what a marvelous concept. You can spend your whole life trying to be someone else but that would just be a waste of who you already are. Illuminate the person who you really are, the person who does not make excuses to the world because their personal truths are different from others. You deserve to shine your own light! Again, be honest about who you are so that the light you own can be a pure bright original source of guidance for others. What a terrible regret to be bed bound near the end of your life having to die with the feeling that you were never seen for who you truly are. You must illuminate yourself, otherwise no one can see you.

~Exemplary. Need I say more? This one can definitely be taken at face value and who better to provide as an example to others than an Honest, Unwavering, Magnetic, Bountiful, Luminous, Humble person than yourself.

Loved ones also find themselves at a loss in regards to how they should provide comfort and support for a dying family member. Many friends and relatives use the excuse that they would just be getting in the way of the doctors or nurses. This is their best attempt to avoid the dying. Sometimes flowers and cards are as close as anyone can get to making a physical effort of support.

The medical community seems to be infected with a determination to keep us alive longer and longer. They constantly push themselves to expand the human lifespan and engineer two more seconds of life for our hearts, livers, and lungs. They seem to forget about the whole of the picture as they stay focused on certain specifics. No matter the level of expertise or how much more life can be artificially given to us, we deserve to be found by those around us as deserving of attention and love on a very personal level.

I see so many people who after a life lived full of determination and will, amount to a pile of needles and tubing, sanitizing foam and handfuls of pills. Not only is this picture a sad one, I also find it to be missing the point entirely. The cycle seems to be one where the families are left wandering from place to place throughout and after the dying process. First to the doctor then to the chaplain then to the funeral director and finally to an empty home where they are left alone with more questions than answers. The families are left with all the “what ifs” and the loved one who died was most likely never given a chance to find or feel a sense of purpose and completion. Dying is not simple, but it is irreversible and permanent so preparation is the key.

I want you to think what it would mean for you to acquire the knowledge that you are not going to live. What would it mean to know that you are going to die? At first, gone is the desire for possessions and future planning. There are no goals to achieve, no power to be had and no use for touting authority. Suddenly there is a complete and total internalization of what life is or better yet, what life was. The sense of inevitable detachment is overwhelming and you begin to fade into and out the not so clear picture of what is yet to come. Regrets are more real and close to your heart than ever before. There is also a huge question mark developing in regards to every thing you do, say, touch and think about. Suddenly the future is no more tangible than a ride to mars.

The family members of the dying also go through many of the same realizations except for one significant difference, they run the risk of living with regrets. So many of the people I speak with bring to me their guilt and regret about the choices made during the last days of their loved ones life. They say, now they know they should have done things differently. Most of the guilt and worry comes from the thought of having done more for their loved one, things would have turned out better. I believe it to be very important to point out that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Every realization, every thought, every action, every disease, every birth and every death all happen just as they are supposed to.

The best way we learn to die well is by learning to live well. It is difficult but not impossible to learn even on a death bed. I help people learn to live while they are dying and that is what gives me joy as a psychic doing Gods work. When you only have a year, six months or less to live and you meet me, the first common goal we establish is to get you living life. I want you to live through your own death. I want to prove to you that there is no such thing as ceasing to exist. I have an advantage over a therapist or a doctor because I can feel thoughts and see feelings. I am also able to answer the big questions about God and the Other Side, but me answering questions about where you go after you die is such a small part of what I do. The bigger reason for me being with a dying individual is about their ability to find the life that exists in death.

It’s an industry that I have heard very little about but have had similar topics come up in readings with clients. You might ask what a psychic has to do with the exploitation of seniors? Well, in order to answer that you must first understand what exactly I do as a psychic. If you are familiar with my work then you already know I am consumed with the issues of death and dying. I work directly with those individuals who are nearing the end of their lives to help them prepare for their journey from this side to the next. It is of-course natural that I would also come across individuals who are dealing with every aspect of the aging and dying process, including the care of seniors. The people I speak with and read for are the parents of dying children, the wives of dying husbands, the children of dying parents and so on and so forth.

Everyone wants to know that their loved one is being given the best care around regardless of available financial resources. It is then one of the most nightmarish moments in any one’s life to find out that your loved one was abused by the same people you are entrusting their care to. Abuse is disgusting and the sale of vulnerable, frail seniors as though they are a commodity is absolutely mortifying. The story that made front page news went on to read that “The Times uncovered accounts of elderly victims who were imprisoned in their rooms, roped into their beds at night, strapped to chairs during the day so they wouldn’t wander off, drugged into submission or left without proper medical treatment for weeks.” In one home there was a worker who handed a lit cigarette to a resident who was connected to an oxygen tank, setting off a fiery explosion!

As a psychic, a human, and a person who even on their worst day has half a heart, I am disgusted beyond belief but the abuse is only part of the problem. You see, the homes where these seniors live are actually private residences which go from buyer to buyer. They are sold, seniors and all to the highest bidder. There are even placement services that work for kickbacks, thousands of dollars at a time for each senior they place into one of these private residences. Now, I cannot escape the fact that at some point in my life, God forbid, one of those seniors might be me. Why cant we all take just a minute to mentally and emotionally place ourselves in someone else’s shoes? If we stopped for just one second to genuinely and sincerely think about how we would feel, the whole world would be a different place.

As a psychic, my place in this whole mess is as a guide for the living in response to and prevention of, the guilt and regret that exists after these events take place. I am not without tears of my own when a client brings such repulsive stories to a reading. As I always tell those clients who are so concerned with the end result of their choices, feeling as though they were the cause of someones condition; you must look at the intent and not the end result when judging your own efforts. Intention is a matter of the heart. It is only with true and totally positive intent that we can know for sure we were free from blame in the first place. 99% of us do not make decisions out of spite, we do not do things with the real intention of hurting someone else. Therefore when the end result is less than desirable, we must remember that we did mean well in the first place and all events, good and bad are in our lives for nothing less than the opportunity to gain knowledge. After all, knowledge and wisdom are one of the few things that go with you when you die, which makes them some of the most valuable.

If you know of a senior who is suffering from abuse or neglect regardless of the circumstance please contact the National Center On Elder Abuse.

This is life, this is not the Other Side. You are not in Heaven so stop expecting it to be like you think heaven should be. Your not done living and until you are, there will be challenges and very few exceptions. There are wonderful times in life too but the best way to get in-touch with them and minimize your challenges and just become a better more content person all the way around is to be selfless.

Its not easy, but it doesn’t have to be as hard as most of us make it out to be. There are ways to live in this world and enjoy it at the same time but you must be willing to lose the feeling of being without. For as long as you walk around believing that you have the short end of the stick, you will be less likely to let go of anything at all out of fear that you will end up with nothing. Rubbish! Total rubbish! Remember Selflessness is the best equal opportunity employer out there. After all, if God’s using it why shouldn’t we?

My advise is a combination of my own lessons learned and those realizations passed on to me by individuals who I have relayed messages for from the Other Side. They are the people who have lived the tragedies we are talking about and they always bring something to the conversation that is very revealing and in common with others like them. That “something” is actually a realization that they spent their lives focusing on themselves, on their flaws and the flaws of others rather than giving of themselves selflessly to someone else.

The art of giving selflessly is one of the most healing, preventing, soothing, God-minded acts of positiveness than any person can ever do in their lifetime. I am going to stop right here to say that if you have never given of yourself without ever expecting anything back, then shame on you. Take responsibility for yourself and your lack of positive selfless behavior and thank God that your not in a worse place in your life than you might be in now. It is excusable to not be nice on certain days, Lord knows I have them too, but it is absolutely disgraceful when out of some 20, 40, 85 years of life someone has never been selfless.

Selfless behavior is the most fulfilling, boundless, timeless, angelic-like behavior capable by any human who walks this earth. There are NO excuses to not participate. Young, old, poor, rich, it doesn’t matter and I have always found that the people who need to master this magnificent natural extension of the soul, are the very people who have more problems than we could shake a stick at! Simply get off your rump and make it happen.

You see, it’s not rocket science to figure out that people who have suicidal thoughts are self consumed. Why is it that the medical and psychological communities always turn these peoples minds back towards the black hole that’s eating them alive in the first place? When you give, you heal. Period! People who are left in therapy for years to sulk in their own deficiencies are kept so far from living breathing examples of selfless health that I find it no wonder when 20 years later they are still in the same therapists office. Now, I have a friend who is a therapist and I cant wait to see what he’ll say after reading this! Of-course there are plenty of qualified therapists who execute amazing therapeutic strategies and accomplish healing and health for their clients and patience also. I am not in any way stating that all therapy is unhelpful. I am stating that some therapists do not guide their patients in the right direction, leaving them in the same vote they started in.

To continue following this discussion read the next post titled “The Selfless Life  3″.

I thought this could wait but I realize now that I am going to address something I originally thought I would discuss sometime later in my blogging life; suicide and living a selfless life.

I was twenty-four years old when my father who at the age of 47 took his own life with a rope on a foggy night in September. I remember sleeping calmly through the night without interruption from my spirit guide or any of the other interruptions that so commonly take place during my sleep. I woke up to a beautiful morning but being a little sore from my Rheumatoid arthritis, I decided to go outside and sit in the hot-tub for a while to try and loosen up my stiff body. After one cycle the jets stopped and the water laid still. I opened up my eyes intending to push the start button again, except when I opened my eyes I found myself peering into the water. It took me about 3 seconds to make out what I was seeing, the flesh on the back of my hands was completely rotten. My hands resembled those of a corpse, dead for many years underground. I knew instantly that something was wrong, very wrong and I needed to figure out what was going on.

I immediately raised up out of the water, grabbed my towel and headed for the door. No more than having the door cracked open was the phone handed to me with a message that my step-mother was on the line and something was wrong with her. “Hello? Is everything alright? Hello?? Is anybody there?”  I only heard silence at first and then suddenly loud sobbing followed by the words: “it’s bad Jeremy, it’s very very bad.” I started reassuring her that whatever it was, we could get through it. I knew we would be fine. I also knew without anyone telling me that my father was dead.

What I saw in the water that morning was as blunt and hardcore a psychic sign as anyone could ever receive, death laid out right across your own body. People tell me I’m gifted, that I’m blessed, well… you tell me what kind of a blessing is it to have that kind of information shoved right down your throat? Trust me when I tell you, at times in my life and that was one of them, it feels more like a curse than a blessing. On top of that you feel like a failure as a psychic, not to mention as a son. I thought I should have known somehow, one way or another I should have been in-tune to what was going on in my fathers life. Instead, the night it happened I had friends over my house to watch movies and eat popcorn. The whole time my father was tying a rope around his neck and I knew nothing of it.

NOTE: I’m breaking up this post into several because I believe that I cant tell the story, explore the solutions, and explain my resolve in 500 words or less. So as I continue expanding on suicide and living a selfless life, (which I’ll get into deeply later), you can keep following this discussion by reading the next post titled “The Selfless Life  2″.

I want to talk to you about aspirations and desire but also about realizations and responsibility.

As a child, do you remember being told you could grow up to be anything you wanted to be? I do. I remember all the boys in the class said that they wanted to be astronauts and all the girls responded with veterinarian and teacher. I also remember sitting in my seat and suddenly feeling as though I couldn’t choose any of them. I knew that I was different. Right there in that little hard wood chair in the middle of the class, I couldn’t put it into words but I knew when I grew up my life wasn’t going to have anything to do with Astronauts or doctors.

The first thing I remember wanting to be was a priest. Yes, you heard correctly… a priest. I can still resonate to that sensation, that first feeling of being called to something. The sensation was so strong that I could have doubled over in my stomach. It was like being pressed up against from every angle. Don’t ask me how, but I knew, in a single moment that I was here for a reason. There was another part to that realization which didn’t hit me until many years later, the part about me being here really has very little to do with myself.

How is it that what’s behind us can heal and hurt at the same time? How do we finally guarantee ourselves that the life we are living is the one that we’re supposed to? The only guarantee in life comes from the moment you have right now. That moment is called opportunity and because you already have it, is the only reason why its a guarantee. In other words, there are no guarantees for anything you don’t already have. In reference to the past, well… its designed to work both ways. It is there to provide you with a moment, an opportunity, and yes, even a guarantee.

Figuring out who we are as individuals, as people of a common source, starts with a realization. Subtle or bold as realizations may be, they are there for a reason and provide us with a foundation unto which we can focus our desires. Acting on desire causes responsibility and responsibility is the what gives us something to see when we look into our past. The past is there to hurt, so we can learn and heal so we have strength for new responsibility in our future. This is the cycle of life and this is the cycle of EVERY life.

Being a psychic makes me no more gifted than anyone else, but what I do with those gifts does separate me from the crowd. At many times for good or for bad it has separated me from those I love and those I wish to help. Had I known that living this life was going to bring the challenges it has, I would have most likely chickened out. It’s my past which so heavily influences my future, the acting out of my desires which causes the responsibility that I learn from.

I believe that we all know who we are on the inside. If ever in doubt look to your past to find out. There it started with a desire and turned into a lesson. Many of us can even answer the questions about our destiny by looking at the patterns which exist behind us. As a psychic, that’s all I’m really doing for someone anyway, I’m experiencing a realization, a desire that burns inside of someone and then watching for the pattern to evolve.

So which part of this post is something to use and what part should be thought about? What if any could be cherished? I’ll leave that up to you. I cant answer everything now can I?
