Being Fearless Among the Fearful
“Tell me my future!”
Nothing makes me want to run faster and farther than hearing those four little words. I am not a short-order cook responding to, “Gimme a ham ‘n cheese and make it quick!” The term, “fortune telling” conjures up images of gypsies and carnival shysters. This stereotype used to make me hesitant to call myself a psychic or to divulge too much information about my intuitive gifts. In spite of the fact that I spend much of my professional life on the edge of this three-dimensional reality, the emphasis of my work focuses on the here and now. This more “grounded” style has helped to dispel some pretty goofy assumptions about me and the nature of what I do.
In my childhood, I sensed things that others did not. Many children lose their intuitive abilities when parents chastise them or dismiss multi-sensory gifts. Fortunately, my own gifts remained intact. This was probably due to the unconditional love and ongoing spiritual support that I received from my mother.
At four years old, I shared a precognitive sensing with her. I told her that when she went to heaven, we would “write letters.” After her passing at fifty-one, we communicated on a regular basis through thoughts and dreams.
Years later, when my own daughter was four years old, she told me about a conversation that she had with my mother, the grandmother whom she had never met in the physical realm. While my daughter played in her closet, my mother told Adrianne the details of a private joke, known only to Mother and me.
My mother often had precognitive dreams. My father told entertaining stories involving psychic occurrences with his mother and grandmother. No one in the family had judgments about psychics or paranormal phenomena. We simply had no reference to that sort of sensing. It all floated around in a sort of Twilight Zone.
A psychologist once hypothesized that I am able to merge with another’s consciousness because I was born a twin. Maybe she figured that I practiced getting into my twin brother’s head when we were hanging out in the womb. While that explanation may have satisfied her, I know better. There is more involved than prenatal interaction with my “womb-mate.”Like many highly intuitive people, I have always been attentive to minute details in my physical world. I can still envision the cracks on the walkway outside the back door of my childhood home where I used to roller-skate. It drives me crazy when I sleep beneath a ceiling finished with sprayed dry wall. I cannot escape seeing things in all the bumps and crevices. The bedroom ceiling in my first marriage was crowded with the images of a deer head, an old woman, her cat and an aardvark. They shared the ceiling space with the silhouette of “DJ, Dishonest John,” the puppet character from Beany and Cecil, which was my favorite TV show in the 1940’s.
As I got older, I did not realize that I was unintentionally merging with the consciousness of others. In doing so, I was also taking on their emotions. If I stepped onto a bus with a sense of optimism, I might exit feeling quite depressed. While sitting on the bus, absentmindedly looking around at the other passengers, I might “see” that one woman was going through a divorce. Another was beyond frustration with her teenage son. The man across the aisle had just lost his job. Little wonder that I would step off the bus feeling disheartened and discouraged, thinking, “What’s the use?”
Later on, I learned to meditate through the Transcendental Meditation movement in the early seventies. I was invited into the advanced course with the condition that I promise not to use my psychic gifts. They explained their need for a policy that filters out “New Age” influences that are considered “fringy” or (in my own estimation) downright silly. I agreed with their philosophy, but had to decline their invitation. I could not separate myself from my gifts.
During that time I also joined a metaphysical class and read a lot of inspiring books. I learned to fine-tune my abilities and access them on demand. Equally important, I learned to turn them off. It was mandatory for me to avoid picking up information on people every minute. Once I was able to control the way I received intuited information, my focus shifted to developing clearer and more concise methods of interpretation.
I am elated when my apprentice “enlistments” receive unmistakable confirmation that they themselves are receiving highly intuitive information. I help them customize their own “templates” in which to sort out and interpret what that they receive in their own unique style.
When apprentices express their delight with direct “hits,” I respond, “Indeed! You are a powerful receiver. We are all meant to be receivers. So, now… what exactly, are you going to do with the information?”
I coach apprentices in interpreting and decoding images and symbols. The client needs to hear a variety of interpretations, demonstrating that there is no one absolute translation of non-linear information. I believe that psychics do a great disservice when they give the impression that it is within their all-knowing power to interpret information with unquestionable certainty.
It is far more empowering for the client to receive a variety of interpretations, for two reasons: 1) There is an entrainment effect that actually pulls clients into the frequency of perceiving non-linearly. Witnessing the behind-the-scenes interpretation of information furthers their own multi-sensory development; 2) Clients are less likely to obsess about the information given in a consultation—particularly involving the future—when they are shown several possible meanings. This allows them to experience for themselves the marvelous way in which the Universe communicates directly through images and symbols, sometimes only to make sense over the passage of time.
There must be an emphasis on interpreting intuited information in ways that expand, enlighten and empower clients. It is crucial that the client be left at a higher level of understanding. Information must be presented in a way that prompts life-enhancing, life-expanding insights—relevant to life in the present, rather than serving as entertainment that diverts clients from their personal challenges.
The ego-self occasionally tempts my apprentices to become a roadside attraction and to show off their gifts. “Ego-fluffing” is a certain way to delay their journey, particularly as an intuitive. I remind them that it is becoming less remarkable these days to be a multi-sensory receiver. These gifts are intrinsic to the species that we are all destined to become.
It is crucial to trust a new way of interacting with your outer world. It involves a more intricate way of interpreting a higher, two-way communication with the Universe. To this end, people are beginning to wake up to their own multi-sensory, intuitive gifts. I am deeply dedicated to supporting a greater trust of these gifts in others.
My work as a clairvoyant, time-traveling, intuitive spiritual counselor takes me many places that exist beyond time and death, as well as to interesting physical destinations. Amidst all the craziness going on in our world, I continue to view an abundance of wonderful, positive future moments. Positive “sneak previews” appear to those who are becoming conscious and decisive in their spiritual awakening.
The future moments that I see in consultations have revealed more than one client meeting a healthy partner, holding a rewarding job and resolving unfinished business with honesty and greater integrity. I have seen parents in the future where they are raising “remembering” children in safe and happy homes. These children are reincarnating souls who inevitably recognize people and objects that surrounded them from a previous life space.
During consultations with their future family members and friends, moments of recognition are previewed and projected from these souls before their births. You may have experienced one of these souls, embodied as a little niece or nephew who has looked up at you and exclaimed, “Once you were my baby!”
These children hit the ground running, arriving as extremely intuitive telepathic visionaries. They sometimes seem wiser for their years than their parents. They are driven by tremendous sense of purpose: to further their soul’s expansion, to assist in the healing and spiritual awakening of others, and to participate in a unifying global vision. Their commitment is one that will promote respect for the diversity of cultures, religions and beliefs. They will implement these ideals through the use of their own extraordinary gifts.
I also find myself applauding the many clients who are making more conscious choices in the day-to-day moments of their personal and professional lives. They are making intentional choices towards greater growth and understanding in relationships. More deliberate choices are steering them away from addictions. Awakening is moving them through old patterns into more freedom in the present. They are creating new and brighter futures.
I witness incredible soul expansion in clients, sometimes prompted by seemingly insurmountable, life-shifting challenges. This is coming about through the observation and processing of personal issues, often triggered by the turmoil and angst in their outer world. I see many awakened individuals in joyful future moments that represent the outer reflection of this personal inner work.
I have to mention my amazement at how quickly folks are awakening and becoming multi-dimensional. So very many are learning to decipher ongoing guidance from the Universe. They value daily two-way communication with the Source and non-physical dimensions.
I have observed a positive influence that helps others learn to comprehend this kind of communication. It results from audiences watching people like myself interpret for loved ones on the Other Side. John Edward, a medium who hosted the TV program “Crossing Over,” is a good example. Clients tell me that we share a similar style of interpretation. I feel that consistently viewing this type of intuitive reception and interpretation entrains individuals into a frequency of transmitting and receiving effectively in their own right.
People are starting to get it. Rather than seeking the kind of evidence that the rational mind craves, they sense the way that we interpret subtle images and symbols. This is a dramatic shift from the more concrete, mental ways of perceiving. As a result, they are leaving behind old, traditional, counter productive demands for quantifiable physical evidence of the existence of life after death, telepathy and our ability to perceive beyond time.
People are moving out of their heads and into their hearts. This is truly exciting for me to witness. I am fully prepared to assist in ushering forth a whole new wave of highly intuitive individuals who will reach far beyond my own capabilities.
It is not unusual to envision a future in which you are playing the perfect part in a script that is written and directed by yourself. A cast of characters adores you and reflects back your most prized attributes. A perfect partner might reside there. Your children have matured and are finding their way. And some form of a metaphorical ship sails in, bearing abundance, creative inspiration, spiritual enlightenment and unlimited fulfillment. No matter what is occurring in the present, no matter what has challenged you in the past, that future remains an idyllic constant that will compensate or reward you for all that has come before.
An unexpected event can change your world. It can fortify the illusion of your future as a “fantasy island” to where you escape when unfathomable events or extraordinary disappointments make present reality intolerable.Advertisers and scriptwriters promote a lifestyle that extols conspicuous consumption, feeding an insatiable standard. Our fantasies are often fueled by these images, which we carry around in our cache of thoughts. The message we learn is that you will never have all that you need. Everything is always out of reach.
Over time, a society so influenced by beliefs in limitation and lack will perpetuate a sort of group mind. This “consensus reality” has the effect of disconnecting you from present and vital truths that bear marvelous gifts.
Consensus reality positions you to romp in this playground of illusion until life jars you awake by loss, tragedy or misfortune. Then you start to ask important questions, sometimes from a sense of deep despair or disillusionment. This is a good thing. It indicates a disengagement from the illusion. It represents a break from playing at life in a sandbox of duality: good guys/bad guys, he said/she said, judging events and people in terms of black and white absolutes.
When you are always looking to the future, you have your back to the door through which serendipitous cues and subtle messages flow. You miss this Divine communication that is intended to lead you toward a happier, more fulfilling life.
The more you become aware of this influence, the more you will be able to integrate your life’s desires into a healthier, attainable reality. The effect is extremely empowering. Through the years I have consistently counseled clients to release their expectations regarding future partners. For example, I caution the client who laments that past lovers never sent roses. Her expectations of a rose-bearing partner in the future might cause her to dismiss the divinely designated one: the one due to arrive with a bouquet of daisies.
A perfect “ten” in another client’s dreams might appear, sporting the perfect body, but with few gifts that will serve either of them well in relationship or soul growth. On the other hand, such a meeting can serve as a valuable awakening to the lack of fulfillment that results when our hearts’ desires are determined by the ego-self. Such experiences usually provide abundant grist for the soul’s mill. There is no judgment as to how long it takes to awaken to soul-evolving insights.
On the other hand, there are those whose paths steer them away from the restricting influence of consensus reality. Approval from others does not rule them and they are propelled by their own passion into unique endeavors and even eccentric lifestyles. These people live with a greater degree of freedom than the rest of us./
Personally, my life was primed to be shaped by consensus reality. I grew up near Pasadena, California, not far from Hollywood and a short distance from Disneyland. I loved the special dates when boyfriends were old enough to drive me to Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. We would drive alongside the “fast” crowd on Sunset Boulevard, watching the parade of customized hotrods.
I read movie magazines, swooned over Troy Donahue and truly believed that the life of Mouseketeer Annette Funicello had to be blessed. My heart fluttered over the twin brothers on the cover of Seventeen Magazine. I ached for a reply to the fan letter I sent them. Having a twin brother of my own, I was convinced that our mutual state of “twindom” would join us in a fabulous future. I addressed my letter to the collective twins. I would have taken either one.
That experience symbolized the embracing of a false belief: Whatever I truly desire in life will never be mine. I never realized that what appears to be out of reach is rarely good for me. It is just so much illusion, and illusion masks all that is for my highest good. That which is destined to serve me well is often right under my nose. That which the Universe dispatches to my doorstep will always look different from my expectations.
For many years I traveled my path, distracted and alienated by so many of my own illusions. For example, after my divorce I fantasized that I would achieve true happiness in life if only I could take a cruise around the world. Subsequently, over the years I have been invited to speak on several cruise ships. While I appreciate the opportunity to travel to interesting places, enjoy a delightful change of scenery, make presentations to new audiences and meet new clients, I personally would not choose a cruise for my own leisure adventure. I find that cruise ships comprise big floating hotels with too much food. My dream dissolved when it became reality. The result was less frustration about all that my life did not contain and a reprioritizing of future desires.
An earth-shaking, life-changing realization came to me in the middle of the night, two days before the earth did actually tremble on September 11th, 2001. The wake-up call was presumably staged to jar me from one of my greatest illusions. In retrospect, I see that the message was delivered in a way that would give me an unmistakable assurance that some personal choices to be made after 9/11 had not been influenced by fear. Fear-based decisions are usually the really dumb ones that take us nowhere, and can even result in devastating outcomes. They are derived neither from clear thinking nor divinely inspired guidance.
As clearly as I might have heard someone speaking next to me on my bed, I was awakened that night by “The Voice” announcing, “It’s JOHN!” Never having doubted my two-way communication with the Source, I sat up in bed, thinking through my revolving prayer list. Surely this was not, at long last, the reply to my ongoing bedtime prayer, “Who is my future partner?” Reflexively, I thought to myself, “Maybe if I just go back to sleep, my future partner won’t be John.” In the four years that I had known John, visions of a Pierce Brosnan-like future partner continued to dissuade me from John’s very real and caring overtures. Past illusion programming continued to mislead and frustrate me.
My own life was changed forever two days later when I witnessed the September 11th disaster from my rooftop. As the Towers came down, so did many of my personal illusions. Watching the surreal spectacle shattered my fantasies and plunged me into stark reality. My past presented itself for revision; the present revealed amazing insights and a new future began to unfold within a day of the horrific experience.
On September 12th John called from Australia to express his love and concern for me. He was worried about my continuing to live in New York and invited me to “regroup” at his birthplace in London. John’s mother had recently passed away, leaving him the house. All this occurred shortly after the death of John’s wife.
Considering the ongoing emphasis with which I caution clients about obsessive soul mate hunts, I shudder to think of them knowing the extent of my own misguided illusions regarding my own future partner. Then again, it is well accepted among students of metaphysics that we do, indeed, “teach what we ourselves need to learn.” It took a monumental catastrophe to awaken me from these fantasies.
I had received my very distinct and direct message from the cosmos. Its implication, however, felt far from heavenly. I tried to open up to the love that John was extending, but being on the receiving end felt quite unfamiliar and extremely uncomfortable. I nearly backed out of his kind invitation in more than one fearful moment, confused and overcome with self-doubt. Still, I surrendered to the Source, calling out, “Show me what I need to know about this, gently this time!” Every time I did, one more door would open and further reveal the path that led to my marriage to John.
To surrender to John’s love was to take me out of a very safe zone. No longer could I could control a future, illusionary partner, one that I could draw any way that tickled my fancy: handsome, clever, mind-reading, humorous, wealthy, charismatic, brilliant and wise. I liked to imagine a relationship with plenty of time for wonderfully stimulating conversations—all of which of course would confirm my own particular point of view on any topic.
But, I had also asked for a partner who would love to cook and to nurture me, leaving me inspired and free to write profundities. I asked for a man who would be supportive of my work, yet not be New-Age goofy. John presented those last two qualifications, most definitely. Other qualities continue to emerge over time, in their own unique, and sometimes challenging, variations.
When lingering illusions cloud the present, I repeat my request: that I be shown what is real and true. Invariably, I then see John or an annoying situation through a new lens. Sometimes John himself surprises me with a loving gesture that demonstrates a great teaching to me.
Our relationship is a work in progress. Cultural and background differences pose a constant challenge and require a patient and accepting attitude. Regardless of where this path leads us, I am committed to a future that I cannot control. My future certainly “ain’t what it used to be!” It has become far greater and more imaginative than I could ever have designed. I married and lived in London. Who knew?
Currently, John and I are separated by “the big pond.” It became necessary for me to return to the U.S. to be more active in my work. I will forever be grateful for the loving oasis that John created for me in his unique and caring way. As we both continue to surrender to a bigger plan, I am mindful of one of my own favorite sayings, “You never know what’s for what!”
Surrender to the unknowable. Resist the temptation to control the future. When you receive “sneak previews” from intuitives in consultations or from your own “hits,” avoid imposing your own egocentric interpretations.
A very different and limitless future awaits you, once you drop the expectations and illusions that trot alongside you from the past, influenced by consensus reality. A divinely customized future will be yours—one that will truly be for your highest good.
