"I have been a teacher and guide for awhile now and know that it is
something you get from God. He gives me the answers when I need them.
One question. Several people have come to me and when they meet me
they say that they seen me in their vision, also, one woman said she seen
me when she was in an auto accident but was unconscious. I have never
met them before. What do you think is happening?"
You are experiencing what many other gifted guides have. The best explanation I can
give is that this may be the way God sends people to certain people to help them with
their concerns.When people have these visions of another person, they end up finding
them sooner or later. Certainly someone doesn't have to have a vision of someone
before they can get help. There are many unexplained things that people go through, we
just have to give and help when they come to us.

"I feel better in my life now that I have ever felt before, it's because I
actually see that I will die. I see the full circle from birth to death for me.
My husband doesn't want to hear it or anything I feel. Is it normal?"
If you read the other questions below, you will find many answers. What you do see is
actually an awareness that many others do not want to acknowledge. You know now
that you will die and you accept it. This type of awareness makes the life you have till
you leave, very much fuller. You will also become more aware of many other things. It
will also bring you much closer to God, knowing that your next trip will involve Him. You
will start to recognize more signs that God sends since you are not just focusing on the
earthly elements.

Comment: Many questions are asked similar to the one directly below.
If you are a Christian, the sure way to know if what a person is delivering may fit you is
to see if God and Jesus are left out of the equation, if so then you just have a hand full of
rocks. If a person is delivering something that makes you feel good inside then most
likely they are giving you some good foundational building blocks. Other questions are
about objects used to worship God. Every church has a ceremony with rituals. In rituals
there is usually objects used to praise God. Some churches burn incense, some play
music, some have feathers and some bring sacrifices of all sorts. Read the bible to see all
the objects used from the beginning. These objects and practices which equal a
ceremony are focused toward God. God said "what we make sacred in his name He
accepts". Like I said above, when we take God out of the ceremony and focus on the
objects, then we have nothing but rocks.
Other questions say that they are very stable and strong in their beliefs, so is it ok to
listen to others who never mention God.
If we are stable and strong then many people have good earthly building blocks/practices
to focus, meditate and center. Then once learned we can apply them to our spiritual
beliefs.

"I go to different classes and sessions with a group on meditation, focusing
and different signs in life. Sometimes I get a feeling from the teacher and
others that almost scares me. It makes me want to retreat inside of myself
or move away from them, why?"
The subjects you mentioned are very good practices to bring you close to God, but also
are equally good ones to sway you in a direction away from Him. If you are searching
for more understanding and strength in your life and are not quite strong enough to
stand up to the devils tricks and strength in others, then the golden rule at first is, ask or
find out if the person you are going to is a Christian. Make sure you know the true
meaning of Christian. Many claim to be a Christian but want to change Jesus' words to
fit their view. Some say they pray to God and He has shown them the power in what they
are trying to present to you. If you listen closely, these people try to sell you something
they believe in, something to focus on that doesn't connect to God or the Christian way.
Some examples are:some people focus only on what is called, universal power and or
card reading, gems and crystals and other such notions.These things are stopping us
short of connecting to the true power of God. Remember, there is a difference between
the body and your mind/spirit. The body, the vehicle we ride in, can take in good
nutrition to keep it on the road. But, it is the person inside that matters. What you are
feeling is healthy, they are signs to you. Listen and evaluate, ask others who are strong
in the belief you have. Many are led astray into following or trying these false sources of
power or direction. What you are feeling is a good learning experience. The more we
tread where the devil is, the more we can answer and help others who have questions.
Many do not want to walk in the battle field of life to find and help others. How can we
be a good teacher and guide if we do not understand where others are and what the
devil is doing out there. Many don't venture beyond the comfort and secure area of their
beliefs and church to understand why others do what they do.

"I have been hurting so bad not having the person I miss. After much heart
ache and inner hurt I am beginning to feel numb, like a haze over me at
times. Am I losing all feeling? Will I be able to respond to emotion again
someday?"
That numb feeling is also the same feeling people get when they go through a traumatic
experience, or a situation they are in, or finally get out of. Its a safe guard in some cases
to bring you to a functioning condition even though you feel like you're a walking
zombie. The extreme is an emotional break down which normally doesn't go that far
except in extreme abuse cases. If you have noticed, that numb feeling took those sharp
aches away and now you feel like you"re floating. Those holes in our hearts at times
never go away but they fill up enough eventually to help us get back on the normal track
of absorbing new emotional growth.

"How do you escape the five senses? I can fairly well lose them all but
sight, is hypnosis a way to lose them all? I want to fly in the spirit, sit and
escape into that area where God is.
The term "Flying in the Spirit" is one way of saying, I want to escape the bodily senses
and the earthly mind. Training is needed to learn to imagine things beyond the body
senses. Hypnosis is not a way to do it. Hypnosis is a state of being triggered by another
human and you are controlled externally. Sight is actually needed to bring you into the
area you wish to feel. A good example of being in that state is imagination. Have you
ever sat down and begin to wonder in your mind and get lost in what you are thinking,
then something happens and you jump back to reality? If you noticed, your sight only
sees what you are imagining. Like anything else, practice makes it happen. The trip you
want is escaping reality which is enjoyable to some and scary to others who are
insecure. It is the only way to feel closer to God. Every person has their own stage of it.

"Many people say that mediums or psychics and card readers are right on
when it comes to predicting things about our lives. I went to a psychic and
she knew all about my feelings and concerns. Being a Christian person is it
wrong to try them?"
Even though we have strong beliefs we as humans still look for the quick answer. That's
when our faith weakens. The answer to your question is the same as the others who ask
about astrology or any other wishing well that people get addicted to. Does it make
sense that if we find one way to follow that has all the answers, to go elsewhere for
answers? It shows disrespect and a lack in faith. Being a Christian I then ask you if you
have read and studied the New Testament? All your answers are there. Gods plan for us
is in motion. No matter where we go, we can't hurry it, or change it. Remember, there
is a difference between a character reader and prophesying. Anyone who took
psychology or had training in recognizing the behavior patterns in humans can make you
think they have a special talent. If they were a Christian they would refer to what Jesus
said, so that you would learn to put your trust back into Him, and wait. Discipline, is one
of the main ingredients to any faith, Discipline, "the ability to wait", and then you will
have your answers that have been structured for you from the beginning. The devil also
has the power to give these people a knowing and to make minor adjustments so that
you will sway from Jesus and go else where for your answers.

Comment: Some of you have mailed and asked about the word Knowing.
You have asked, how will I know that feeling of Knowing which can't be
changed inside of us.
A feeling is one of the hardest things to explain but I can give you an example to
compare it to. In addition to feeling, it can also consist of thoughts about a person or
thing or way that you are looking into. Many people search whether it be for a mate or
what is true about life. It's similar to finding a mate that you can't get your mind off of.
That person will always be in your memory and the feeling inside tells you that there is
something there. That is a Knowing, something you can't get rid of no matter how hard
you try. Same holds true when you find God, He is always there in you. There's a way to
find Him just as you went through ways to find that mate.

"I do believe in God and Christ but I don't seem to have the strength as
others do, why?"
The word Strength has different applications. Basic and solid strength comes from
inside. That means a knowing of what you believe will not and can't change even if you
wanted it to. If that is the case then people will see that in you, even though we struggle
with the other strength issues, and they are: having the strength not to deny anyone,
having physical strength to fight against evil, having the strength to speak up, having
strength not to shake from being scared, and not to run from being scared. Do not judge
your strength because your actions do not match others. Judge from inside and know
that you can not lose it, and then when it is the right time you will be able to show it in
the way YOU were meant to. Sometimes other peoples actions towards what they
believe in are just show and their knowing inside is weak.

"I have heard that the "Placebo Effect" is powerful and some doctors will
use it on patients. How could we tap that to use as we wish?"
The Placebo Effect is a life long practice of delivering and using it ourselves. It is actually
unwavering faith. Let me give you some areas of it. If a Doctor would give you some
sugar pills and told you they were a cure for what you had, and told you to take two a
day till they were gone and you would be cured, and then you would be cured. You did
not know they were sugar pills but the fact that you Heard the Doctor, Saw the pills with
your senses then you believed what he said. Our faith is very strong as long as one of our
five senses detects something. There was a woman who had pain in and around her
abdomen. She went to the doctors and thought she may have a serious problem or
cancer. Finally they had to do exploratory surgery. They found that she was full of
cancer and had only a few months to live. When the daughter was told this, she told the
Doctor to tell her mother that it was gall bladder and it was removed. So, the Doctor
told the woman just that and she would be fine. Six months later the daughter told her
mother that maybe she should go in for a check up. They found that there was no sign of
cancer anymore. Most of the time the diagnosis kills quicker than the disease does. In
other words, if the Doctor tells you, you have a tumor and gives you a month to live,
then you will most likely just live to around a month. But if nothing is said about life
expectancy then you will most likely live longer. Most Doctors say they are obligated to
tell what they think they should. Team members and I have been working the minds of
patients to see that what they have can be reversed and or they can be cured quicker by
reinstating positive thoughts. The power of Placebo comes only from within, but true
faith comes without using the five senses as a crutch. The five senses have to detect
external signs to work. True faith is of the sixth sense. Jesus said "If you believe without
doubting and tell this tree to uproot and through it self into the sea, then it will" also, "If
you ask the Father for something and believe without doubt then it will be done for you".
Yes it does take practice to have a Knowing without the five senses involved. Call it
Placebo or Faith, whatever it is called it is what you must work on to deliver healing and
become one with the other without doubt.

"I am concerned about the division of Christians today, it makes you stop
and look at the reasons why. Why is it that Christians seem to interpret
the Bible in many ways compared to other religions and beliefs that don't?"
What we don't want to do in this forum is get into who is right or wrong or debate
political and religious views. When it comes to decisions in beliefs it must be and stay
personal. If you have read the other questions and issues, only personal concerns are
given some thoughts for direction. The only comments I can give on your question is if
you study you will see that all through history peoples in all beliefs fraction off because
they have changed their beliefs to fit their life style. As far as Christians and being a
Christian I would like to use one of many changes that are taking place to make a point.
One group of Christians is saying that you do not have to focus on Jesus to gain access
to God or to enter Gods kingdom. They say you can just focus on God if you wish. When
you are a TRUE follower of any belief, you do not change or leave out any words. Using
Christian as an example to your question, didn't Jesus say "I am the way and the truth to
the Father, no one shall enter but through me" The word Christian means you follow
Christ and believe in every word, not just what you want to delete and believe in. That
goes for any belief. So lets examine where we stand and what we do. If we change any
words of any belief, then how can we call ourselves a TRUE follower?

"I left the church I grew up in because I felt a calling to ministries that
only the priest does in the church. My husband, parents and some family
members make comments or never ask or support my move. I do feel that I
am on the right path but why is it that others try to put a guilt trip on
me?"
Everyone has a calling from God, even those who can't see beyond the structure they
have grown in. When you fail to see beyond then you are limited to the inner structure of
your existence. Jesus said He will be present when several gather together in His name.
Many also believe that our connection to the Holy Spirit is within each of us and not only
if you're in a certain religion. The apostles taught and organized a church in Jesus'
name, some think that if you are not in that group you are lost. Jesus' teachings never
said that you must belong to any certain group, but only to live for Him and He does
teach you how to live your life as a light to others. When these lights gather together
they are called a church in the name of Jesus. Your family will be your hardest obstacle
to deal with. Go forward and do Gods work, He will lead you as long as you give yourself
to Him which means faith. Many people are surprised to find out that all Christian
churches do follow the same teachings of Jesus and the apostles, also that the
ceremomies are the same.

"I have found that astrology has a lot of truth to it. Even in our church
someone was talking about how the star at Jesus' birth can be traced. I
feel that studying astrology can give us many answers to our lives."
My answer to you is from a Christian point. If you listen closely to what is said about the
"Star" or any other comments about the heavens you will see there is a difference
between Astrology and Astronomy. Astronomy is the scientific study and positioning of
the heavens. Astrology is the study of movements and positions as an influence on human
affairs. If you find yourself going to another place for help to all your questions about
life, then that place has taken you from God. When people are looking for answers, they
will read anything and try anything except read the New Testament, the place that has all
your answers.

"I want to be content. Seems like every time I get things into order
something else happens in my life, what's the secret?"
There are only two ways we work on contentment. The one that we work on continually
is earthly contentment. That is, each day we strive consciously and even unconsciously
to keep our life in an order so we may not feel any emotional strain. The problem is,
everything changes in our lives. We can't set each situation to never change, or to be
acceptable to us permanently. So the result is that our contentment will vary each day.
If you look at what was just said you will see that many try to adjust their contentment
externally. They try to control situations outside of themselves to make themselves
content.
The true secret of content comes from within. If you believe in God and His Son, then
you must look into who they are. If a person is searching and tries many ways and power
sources and still can say that they are not content then, let that be a sign to keep
looking. Once you find the right way/God then you will feel it inside. Contentment is
solid ground to work from, to live from, to handle things from or by. Anytime we have
good backing that never fails us, we can always keep our head above any circumstance.
Remember, all signs of knowing what is true come from inside as a feeling not just from
words.

"I've searched and heard many talk about the source of life and where
power comes from. There are so many directions to try. How will I know
which one to believe in?" "Yes, I believe there could be a God, but as I
said there are many other ways that people are so strong about."
There is a time in all people's lives when they go searching. This is healthy and good.
Many people do not give it a thought whether there is a God or not. First, the word,
believe, is shallow and not stable. You can read the paper, listen to people talk and
believe something different each day, or, change your mind each day. When the time
comes that you Know what is really true, you will never change your mind and your
searching will be over. The word, Knowing, is the key. Remember that the truth, the
real thing will come with a feeling inside of you. Don't worry about what that feeling is
like, you will know when you get it. Take your time and notice the difference between
people who keep studying trying to find meaning and way, and people who have found
their way and are studying about their God. Fulfillment comes with the right choice. If
you say there could be a God, then do not forget to read the New Testament first in the
Bible.

"I know that some people are attracted to other countries, cultures and
ethnic groups. They say thats who they were in another life. I have a great
desire to visit many places and am attracted to many ethnic groups. Does
this mean I will never find the one I belong to?"
Most everyone has to journey to all that attracts them before they find the one way that
they know is in their spirit. No different than a person who finds passion in their chosen
field. In time you will find the one thing/peoples/place that will be prominent in your life.
We don't know what causes our attractions but there are many reasons people come up
with. If we had prior lives then perhaps that is the reason we are attracted to a certain
culture and or when we pass on then our home in Gods kingdom will be set in that
culture. We are what our spirit is, not what our body is. Yes some people stay attracted
and connected to the culture their body was born into.

"I see mostly a bluish light around many people. Is there something special
about them?"
A study was made involving the person seeing the aura and the person with the aura
around them. The study always ended with the person having the aura around them.
Possibilities were that; that person pulls and emits more energy, or, has a constant
opening towards the energy they believe in, or, that person has a special gift of knowing
that Gods wants them to have and to use for Gods purpose. Everyone has a gift or more.
The word Aura has several meanings other than Light, atmosphere, mood, aroma,
feeling, and air. People will fluctuate between all of these. We just don't pay attention to
the others. Its the person we see that we must get to know if we can. Our spirit also has
its highs and lows, it will emit at times and sometimes not for a long time. These aura
conditions always seem to be more prevalent at the moment when we are doing Gods
work. We are all equally gifted the way Gods plan is for each of us, its just that some
have more learning to do before their gift is in full blossom.

"I have learned to be close to Jesus in my life and I would hate to think
that if there was reincarnation, I would have to start all over again to find
Him."
There have been similar comments like this one indicating that the persons making them
only see life in the body that they have now. Thinking that if they would come back
down to earth it would be in the same body and with a new clean slate of zero memory
in their mind. Jesus said in His kingdom we will be given a new and different body as we
know it now. Also many words pertaining to the fact that our memories, lessons learned
and this life experiences follow our spirit. So if it were true that we do come back down
then the same spirit would be in the body assigned to us. Remember, it's the knowing
that we feel about Jesus that makes Him real in our lives, and that is what stays in our
spirit for ever. Lets stay focused on the fact that we have one life here and now.

"Some believe in reincarnation as an answer to who we are. Can you tell
me the possibilities of that?"
Yes some people do believe in reincarnation. If you actually pin these people down and
make them explain how they know, they can only give you some reasoning which is not
conclusive. Some people get the idea of reincarnation from their attractions to other
places, and peoples. The best evaluations come from the Bible. It is not mentioned at all
in the Bible about coming back. Some reasoning is:
If Jesus would have mentioned at all about coming back then people would not take each
life very seriously and Gods plan would be slow to evolve, or never be completed. Or;
God made His people once. We messed up in His garden so we must keep coming back
till we get it right.
Bottom line? We won't know for sure and who cares. We are living now and we should
be concerned about our life now. It is not mentioned in the bible and that is reasoning
enough for Christians and Gods people.

"Are visions meant to be shared?"
The word vision is related to, dreams while you are sleeping, day dreaming while you
are awake, or flash backs. Flash backs are scenes or images in a different state of mind
or, a different view in our mind, some say more real.
We usually tell someone about a vision we had. Some people will give their
interpretation. It is always best to keep a log of your visions. They are pieces of a larger
picture. Most of them are for you to feel and sometimes see that your earthly life is not
the only place for growth. Not the only place you have but a temporary place. Visions
give hope without explanation. We only need a feeling to let us know that there is
another place where we belong.
Sharing? Asking that question usually means, we want an answer. So, seek and listen to
others, but always remember, usually we will not get the exact answer but always
possibilities. Words to us are possibilities that we can strive to search and learn from.
Visions can be a message to act upon. These messages are clear enough for us to
respond without seeking out people who might give us the wrong interpretation.

"I am a non-believer of any God or a person with power, you might call me
an atheist, but I am a good person. I believe there is a power out there in
the universe that caused life on earth. Will your classes benefit me so that
I may learn to use that power to help others?"
The earthly building blocks for foundational growth are the same for all people, its how
and where you apply them. Intent, is the most powerful force projector we have. Intent
drains us each day as we intend to do many things. We really do not use full intent during
our daily activities. The courses train you to focus that more abundantly and specifically.
As for a power source, if you do not pick or have the right one then you will suffer.
Some of the signs to watch for are: depression, headaches, loss or lack of energy, lack
of will power, lack of concentration, and short term commitment. There are many
people who worship idols and practice many ways of feeling power and contentment. If
they are the wrong ways then those people suffer from the signs above. A good example
is the automobile. The battery keeps the cars power even and strong to operate
everything. But, the battery needs a power source to keep it working well. That power
source is the alternator. The alternator keeps the battery charged. When the alternator
goes bad, the battery will only run the car for a while before all goes dead. Same with
the human being, if we use our power towards others and we haven't picked the right
source then we will suffer eventually.

"I know there are many ways to help others, but my husband and my family
think I am different and refuse to see my path or want to understand it. I
have visions and gifts that others see. I have led many to God. How should
I approach my family?"
The cross is heavier to bear when it comes to family. Yes it can make you feel isolated
from them. Many people who aren't open to reality have built their own structured
environment around them which causes them to have the tunnel vision effect. This gives
them a comfort zone that they will refuse to explore out of. In turn, it all equals no
support for you. Self worth can suffer also. Keep on your path, this is when faith plays a
big part on your journey. You will be guided the right way. We must realize that our
families are people also, no different than the ones we run into out there. So, when we
are around people we keep our personal journeys to ourselves until the time comes
when we are around the ones we are meant to work with. It's a lonely feeling around
family at times but not as bad as being put down by them.

"I have taken Reiki and other healing classes and read where Jesus healed
others. I want to heal but in the last year or so I haven't seen anyone
healed and feel its not working, should I give up and try another way?"
This is a common concern and a growing step for many. What the person is saying in
their question is, I want it to happen, I want the healing to take place. We must learn
how to work for our God, not work for ourselves. We first were taught to use His power
through us. Then the tough part is to act when we feel God giving us a push or that
feeling that we want to be near another. It's similar to wanting to hug someone. The last
part is the commitment to God. We must leave our own desires out and just give, and let
God make the decision on what He wants to happen. It's similar to getting a job and the
boss sends us out to set up a project. The boss has the whole thing planned out, we just
go do our part and let the boss worry about the outcome. We can't just look for physical
healing. There is spiritual, mind and body. So when we touch another with Gods power,
let God decide the outcome. If it were up to us, we would heal everyone we touch. Just
remember that everytime we touch someone with Gods power, God always makes a
change, but most of the time if not all the time, we, will never know.

"How will I know my path in life?"
Many people ask this question. Don't think for a minute that we are left with seconds or
days that aren't meaningful. We all are actually on our paths right now, it's just that we
must go through a stablization period. We must find out who we really are and why we
are at this point in our lives. There is no such thing as waking up some day and saying
"well I work at a hospital and this must be my path". Our path can and will most of the
time change daily. Once we are stable, we can set back and handle each moment in our
lives, understanding and reasoning each one out.
Getting to this point takes some counseling and guidance from someone who can read
you and help you see yourself.

"Why don't I have a spirit animal? I am attracted to other worldly cultures."
Many people are called to a different state of existance. Not all have the same visions, or
are attracted to the same ancestry. If you are attracted to Egyptian ways then you must
find someone who has the insight for that way of life. You need to find someone who
can help you find yourself and the reasons for your feelings. People of other cultures in
other countries do have animals that they are attracted to, like in India or countries
where the animals are different than in America. The animal may be an elephant or
tiger. I have talked to many people from different countries who are attracted to other
countries and other cultures different from their own. Remember, we are what our
spirit is, not the body we are riding in or where we live.

"I want to escape and find a peace of mind so that I can be myself and be
able to fly in my spirit"
We get trapped in the earthly elements and/or the responsibilities of life are too
demanding for time to find out how. You need a guide that knows how to help you
release the five senses and to exist in the sixth sense when needed. God said that if we
never lose the earthly control then we can't find Him. Imagine if someone would strap
you to a chair and told you they were going to take away each of your five senses one at
a time, which is possible. Imagine your taste first, then smell, then hearing, that would
leave your sight and feeling. Once they were all gone you would feel like you may have
died. We have great faith as long as one of our senses can detect anything. But the down
side is that our senses give us a false sense of security. Learning to center and meditate
in the woods will soon help you see that the sixth sense is the last dimension where God
is waiting to talk to you. It's a spiritually rewarding, but slow, process to work towards.
