Code Blue and the Dragonfly

 I spent eight months in the hospital finally getting a heart and kidney transplant in Jan. of 2020. The first 45-60 days I was in and out of comas and getting so many shocks to my heart, that I became Mr. Code Blue...sometimes multiple times a day. 

During this time Mary, my wife designated my sign as a dragonfly. Dragonflies represent New Beginnings, Transformation, Hope, Peace, and Love amongst many other things. Today, I was walking in the medical plaza for a doctors appointment when I came upon a sign that read CODE BLUE Room-Kidney. About 20 feet in the hallway lie a dead dragonfly. 

The message and symbolism was not lost on me. I survived my ordeal and have proven at the age of 64-65 it's never too late to transform yourself, start a new beginning, find hope and love and peace.

Embrace this day, for no one can determine the paths that you choose.

 

 

Part Three of What a Reading is all about.- COMFORT

 A reading from a psychic, medium, clairvoyant, etc. is about three things.

CLOSURE; CLARITY and now the third part COMFORT.

COMFORT lets us know and feel that there is the continuity of life after we separate ourselves from our earthly bodies. We're not going to be alone...we will be surrounded by loved ones who have been watching our progress here in the physical realm with a guiding hand, whenever they could.

They are waiting for us to rejoin them when it's time.

Death is but one step away from the Spirit realm. There is and will be light, vibrations and love. 

The Universe's classroom has just begun because there is untapped frequencies of knowledge and enlightenment that await us.

The readings that I have been privileged to give has been so humbling as I watch Spirit work and give people the closure that they had been seeking.

So, be at peace and know that God will give us comfort.

 

What is a "reading' all about? Part Two- CLARITY

 CLARITY- Clarity is not what a lot of people are asking for when they come to me for a reading.

They want answers and I fully understand...I want answers too. But the Universe is like a sacred, spiritual GPS device that helps you get where you want, but doesn't drive the vehicle for you. It's also interesting to note that a GPS gives you several ways to get to your destination, much like the Universe will show you several paths to take, but will not physically take you there.

Why? Because that action circumvents the free will that God gives us, especially when it comes to decision making. 

God wants us to enjoy the journey more than the destination. It's in the journey that we find growth, enlightenment, and eventually evolution.

Embrace your free will because it's the GPS that never needs recharging.

.

What is a reading from a Clairvoyant, Medium, Psychic, all about? Part One- CLOSURE

 Readings are about several things, but I would like break the above question down to focus on what I call the Big Three. Here is part one...part two coming in two days and part three two days after that.

PART ONE-CLOSURE- We never know when a loved one is going to pass. We may know when the time is near but more often than not, we are completely caught off guard when they pass.

 Therefore questions remain unanswered. Did they want to leave this earth? Are they in heaven? Are they in hell? Did they hear me when I whispered to them on their 'death' bed? Why did they take their own life? Are they still mad at me? I'm sure a million more questions can be added to this short list. 

Communicating with a loved one who has passed is not treading on sacred ground as so many people think. It is a gift from God to give people some closure that maybe has troubled them for years and years. God, the Universe, and Spirit wants us to move on with our lives in order to find peace, happiness, and serenity.. After all; isn't that what we want at the end of the day?

 Part Two - CLARITY will be coming in two days.

Validation from our Higher Self

 In todays somewhat toxic climate everyone (including me) have strong opinions and feel a need to share them on social media about anything and everything in order to initiate one of two responses.

1) OBTAIN A VALIDATION- You agree with my point of view so you're with me. You're one of 'us'.

2) START AN ARGUMENT- You don't agree with me so therefore you're against me. You're one of 'them'

Why? Why do we need either of the above?

It's ironic that no.1 makes us feel better and no.2 makes us want to fight.

Neither one has long lasting effect on our soul.

Only validation we need is from our Higher Self that we're on the right path and we will be on that path as long as it's the path of love.

LOVE raises our vibrations that we need in order to ascend to higher levels of consciousness.

The Beatles were right...All You Need is Love.

.

When we hear Nothing is when we hear Everything.

 Meditation is the ultimate opportunity to connect and even channel 'the other side.'

That's when the noise is drowned out by the vibrations of the Universe and the essence and love of our Higher Selves. Our soul breathes freely when we are alone in our thoughts. How can we have a conversation with our Higher Self when everyone else is talking?

 It is like being stuck in a traffic jam while we are attempting to reach down into the depths of our being while cars are honking, people are yelling and screaming, pedestrians are crossing the street,...you get the picture. 

Meditation is a retreat in and of itself. It is the Universe's way of calming us down and saying to us..."it is going to be alright. Just stay with us awhile to clear your head and strengthen your soul."

That's when you hear everything.

CAN WE TRULY FORGIVE OTHERS?

We have all heard it and we have all said it, “I  can forgive but I can’t forget.”

How does one do that? Don’t they both go together? How in the world do you separate them?

If we are are not forgetting what someone or somebody or maybe even a group of people have done to us; how then, can we ever forgive them?

The Universe showed me an example that has helped me greatly.

Imagine your mind is like a library that has millions of books that stores millions of memories. 

It is our library so we can arrange the books in any order or section of the library that we want. The Universe gave me a POG (plan o gram) that would help me arrange the books in the most productive way possible.

At the front of the library the Universe placed books that contained positive thoughts, words, actions, and stories. Unfortunately, when it comes to thoughts that we have every day, experts tell us that 80% are on the negative side. So, with that in mind we have to put those books full of negative thoughts especially when it comes to not forgetting and not forgiving others at the back of the library on the top of those shelves that are hard to reach[jm1] .

So, when it comes to forgiving others in a positive way, make those books easy to get to by putting them in the front of the library or at the front of your memories. Make the negative books full of bitter memories, hatred, jealously, and negative forgiveness at the back of your memory library so that we have to navigate our way through all of the positive thoughts just to get to those unpleasant memories.

Who knows, maybe by the time we arrive at the negative section, we would have forgotten what we were so upset about.

It's the Lost of a Legacy That Matters

BLACK LIVES MATTER, BLUE LIVES MATTER, ALL LIVES MATTER
.
They all are important and have something to say...we need to listen.
Take your pick as to which one is more important...to the group or segment of the population that the above belongs to is most important to them and we need to recognize and respect that.
We owe it to that group to listen...really listen which is what happens when you have dialogue and conversation going.
When we confront each other is when fear sets in; and its hard to have a conversation when both sides are fearful of one another.
Two cases come to mind...George Floyd and David Dorn.
George Floyd was killed by police fighting for his last breath; calling for his mom...haunting.
David Dorn was killed by looters helping a friend defend his pawn shop, left on the sidewalk to die.
Both were black with different backgrounds but the Universe is more concerned with what could they have accomplished...what further legacies could they have left?
What impact could they have left on society and people in general?
That's the legacy that we all have to think about in this lifetime.
Find your own path of legacy and don't be surprised if others are on the same path,
Just remember to keep the dialogue going...you might learn something.

Is Anyone Listening?

With my gifts, I get a ton of questions.
And that is perfectly normal and understandable.
The questions are fair; sometimes simple but sometimes complex. The future is scary and uncertain and sometimes we are afraid to face what we don't know and what we do know.

But we're not meant to know everything and that's for any number of obvious reasons.
We're meant to live our lives; not follow a script, reciting lines that have been given to us and playing out scenes that we believe we are to play.

Sometimes we have to just quit asking questions and listen.
We can't hear the answers if we spend all of our time asking questions.
Remember these three lines...

STOP- for a moment and just concentrate on breathing

LOOK- for the moment when you hear, see or feel the voice of the Universe.

LISTEN- to what Spirit has to say...to you and only you.

God is not a puppet master pulling our strings; the strings were never there in the first place.

Yes...someone is listening

What does 'Psychic' mean to you?

 PSYCHIC- "relating to or denoting faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance."...that's the best definition, by far that I found online.

 PSYCHIC- "the ability to foretell the future with uncanny accuracy and inform people what lies ahead for finance, relationship and health and be 100% accurate with no mistakes whatsoever"...yep; I'm afraid that's the definition that some people have.

I have psychic abilities but I do not call myself a 'psychic' for a number of reasons.

Here's why...I don't focus just on giving a psychic reading...I give everything the Universe gives me and most importantly expectations of the second definition seems to come alive for some people.

What I tell everyone before I begin a reading is that for me...psychic abilities enable me to read the energy and vibrations on the path you're on.

It's also a reminder to us all that God gives us free will and that people, places and things on our path can change...it's the mystery of the Universe.

It is a gift from God; make no mistake about it. 

But some gifts are clothed in mystery and uncertainty; and that's the beauty of psychic abilities.

                                                                   

Is it OK to Talk to the Dead?

Whenever we lose a loved one, we mourn, grieve, cry; etc. We move on the best that we can, remembering those who have gone before us. As time passes, we talk to our loved ones, gesture towards the sky in remembrance, (as most football players do), ask them for advice when we feel stuck, tell them how much we miss them, etc.

However, when people see that I'm a medium, and that I talk to people who have passed, all of a sudden, I'm a disciple of the devil. I'm treading on dangerous ground; sacred ground that religion deems a sin.

Again, we don't spend time attempting to understand metaphysical gifts such as mediumship...we reach a conclusion based on fear. We separate ourselves from those things we fear, attach a label to the gift and the person that has that gift and immediately dismiss them as somebody or someone to be feared or worse; shunned; ignored, isolated.

This has happened in my own church which I attend.
 I sit at the back because I know there are people several rows ahead of me that have talked about me and my gifts in a negative way and choose to not engage me in conversation so I choose just to sit there and worship God; Jesus, Mary; etc.

Gifts are meant to be shared not put in a box so people can feel at ease. When used correctly in a spiritual way, mediumship is a gift from God. Period.
Peace.

The Sacred Storms of God

We all know the story of Noah and the ark and the flood but more importantly the promise from God that He would never do that again.
Bur God never promised that storms in our life would never come.
There are internal storms and external storms and they all come for specific reasons.

Take a thunderstorm for example...why is it, that we are so captivated by them?
Why is it that when there's rain or a storm, we instantly feel like taking a nap or going to sleep?
Could it be that God is telling us it's going to be ok, even in the darkest times?

Could it be that when we go to sleep during a storm, that the rain is actually the Universe's way of chanting? Chanting soothes the soul and puts us in another place.
The thunder reminds us of God's awesomeness (not to be feared but admired) and the lightning reminds us to seek shelter, just as when we go through bad times to seek the shelter in a safe place, even if it's in our heart and soul.

Next time a storm is approaching; ask the Universe...ok...what are you trying to teach me?
The answer just might surprise you.

                                                               

Time to Claim Your Baggage

In the readings that I've been honored to give to people; it is amazing that a feeling comes over me every time.
And that feeling is that my baggage that I carry with me, isn't as nearly as heavy as others.

A parent grieves over burying his or her child; questions go unanswered as people pass suddenly without warning; loved ones who grieve over a child, family member or friend who take their own life and so on.

It's time to realize that our baggage we carry is exactly that; our baggage and what we have to deal with isn't as nearly catastrophic as our neighbor's baggage; our co-workers baggage, our friends baggage and other family members baggage.

By claiming and owning our baggage, we can start to deal with it and move on with our lives to find peace and happiness...two things that Spirit stresses that we need in order to find more wisdom and knowledge and enlightenment.

This holiday season, be appreciative that the baggage you claim as your own, isn't as heavy as others.
Even if it's foggy and you have to dig through the weeds that life puts in front of you; be sure to claim your own baggage.
At the end of the day, you'll be thankful.

                                                                       

What Happens at 3 am?

So what happens at 3 am?
There are numerous explanations but there is one that definitely gives the best and most reasonable explanation and the one that Spirit has wanted me to pass on.

There is a veil between the physical world and the non-physical world. The Irish call it the Thin Veil and this veil is extremely thin around 3 am.

Perhaps it's always a good idea to say our prayers at night...give thanks for our blessings; talk to those loved ones who have passed and tell them how much we miss them and most of all say a prayer of protection.
I begin the day and end the day with a prayer of protection...I just simply give thanks for my gifts and my blessings in life and then ask to be protected by the light of God, the infinite and divine and to ensure no negative entities, energies or spirits come into the light.

This also ensures I have protection in my dreams and allows all of the downloads that the Universe wants to give to me.

Loved ones want to reach out and tell us that they are ok and it's when they have enough light or when the veil is thin, is when they reach out.

Embrace the other side for they have much to teach us in the way of the Universe.

Is it Time to Change the Way You Think?

Because of my metaphysical gifts I run across skeptics all the time; and that's ok, because I'm skeptical myself. I was just born that way as my analytical mind just naturally pushes back on things that are not of the physical world.

But to be honest, even that's an excuse that I conveniently use...I'm not as nearly analytical as I use to be, and that's because as I put on my metaphysical mind more and more, I see the results that the readings and messages I've been privileged to give take hold and have a healing effect on those who come to see me.

This would not have been possible, if I didn't open my mind to more possibilities. I had to radically change the way I think about the world, the universe, religion, spirituality, etc.

So, what's the worse that could happen if you changed the way you think? About all the topics that you have a definitive opinion on? What's the concern? What's the hold up? What's the fear?

Just for one day, consider looking at things from a completely different viewpoint and see what happens. There's a whole world of new information that is waiting for you to discover.

Is it time to create your own 'bizarre world' where you see things that go opposite of what you now to be true or what you were taught to be true?

This is how wisdom is obtained...not by the things you already know; but by discovering things that you once thought were not possible.
Do this for one day or even for a few hours...you won't regret it.

                                                                 

My Crusade for Black.

Black...the color that seems to represent darkness; evil, negativity; vampires, witches, cats, etc.
In the movies bad cowboys and villains were identified as wearing something black, especially hats.
Funny...the people who historically have worn black do not see it that way as all.

Johnny Cash wore black, not only because he liked the color; but because it rebelled against what he saw as injustices in the world, which was the poor, the homeless, the men and women who were in prison and had paid their dues but were left there anyway, etc.
At funerals. we wear black to pay respect for those loved ones we have lost and to mourn.

Priests wear black to represent the suffering in the world, especially the suffering of Jesus.

I was taught in elementary school that white was the presence of all color and back was the absence of all color...ironic, isn't it that black was the absence of all color, but for generations we were determined to call all people who were black, 'colored folks'.

And how do black people or people of color feel? I never thought much about it until I attended a conference this past September and heard from several impressive speakers who happen to be black how they grew up with this stigma attached to them. How they have heard all of their lives that white is good and black is bad.

Black...nighttime is black; but at nighttime is when we get our rest. Nighttime is when most of us talk to God. Nighttime is when we spend time with our families; a healing time for most of us. Nighttime is when we can decompress from the busy world and give thanks for all of the blessings we have been given.

It's ironic that in several of the mediumship circles I've been involved in, I've been told not to wear black because it's offensive but then the very next thing that happens is we dim the lights and are plunged into...darkness before we meditate.

I'm on a crusade for black. Join me and never be afraid of the dark again.
                                                     
                                                                   

                                                                 

God Has All the Answers

Recently, some folks responded to my metaphysical gifts by saying "no need for these gifts, because you only have to go to God for the answers".
"God will give you your answers". And of course all of this is true.

But what we sometimes fail to understand is that God does have all of the answers but that doesn't necessarily mean that He is going to give them to us.

How do we gain knowledge and wisdom and understanding? We gain these things through other people, through experiences, through healing, through books, through prayer, etc., etc., etc.

God does provide answers to us; but not by going to Him all the time directly; but through the gifts that we all possess as we help each other.

We're given free will for a reason and that reason is not to go to God for answers for everything.
If we did, how will we ever learn the lessons that we should all learn? And once we gain this knowledge, we then go teach it to others.

Jesus was a humble, simple, holy, but absolutely brilliant man...he didn't give answers to everyone; instead, he preached on topics that had underlying themes and told stories (parables) so people would understand more than just saying "yes", "no", "maybe" or "here's what you need to do."

Jesus wanted people to understand why rather than just taking an answer at face value, plus most of his parables had much deeper themes. That's where we gain spiritual knowledge and wisdom.

Yes God has all the answers...but He also has all the questions.
What parables will you share tomorrow in order to pass along your wisdom and knowledge?
Don't look to God for the answers, because you already have them.

                                                                 

                                                   

Why Does God Allow Pain?

During the readings I've been honored to give; there are several themes that reappear throughout the sessions...one in particular I would like to briefly talk about is...pain.

Pain is something that comes across so many times and rears it's ugly head in so many different forms.
There's not a week goes by that I don't encounter a loved one who has taken their own life or feels responsible for their own passing.

So why is there so much pain associated with people who have passed and why is there so much pain in the people who are left behind? What in the heck is God doing?

Doesn't God know that...we suffer? We hurt? We feel alone? We feel isolated? We feel no one cares?
I remember a reading that I did for a beautiful young lady (we will call her D) awhile back in which I gave her information about her two sisters...one had some medical issues, which she validated and one was the comic of the group, which D also validated.

Just a short time later after the reading, the comic of the group, suddenly passes. Here one day, and gone the next; or so it seemed...the passing was really quick.

I look at readings such as this one and actually question God and ask..."what the hell? Why could I have not seen this coming?"
God's reply? "Jerry, you have a special gift, but everybody has special gifts and your gift does not entitle you to know everything. Your gift has manifested itself within you to help heal people...that's your calling."

That's all of our calling...to heal one another.
Think of it this way...in order for healing to take place...we have to have pain and suffering in our lives. God allows pain to happen, the same way God allows healing to happen.
Pain and healing are connected like a brother and a sister.

Next time you feel pain; just wait, because even though it may take some time...healing is on the way.

We're Made in the Image of...

You've heard the age old argument...conversation...discussion...we're made in the image and likeness and God.
So who is this God that we're made in the image of? Male? Female? Air? Earth? Ocean? Entity?

First...if God is a He...then we would all be males. Same with females...and so on, if we focus on the body, which we do most of the time.

Second, if God is straight then we would all be straight and heterosexual , which of course, we're not.

Third, if God is white, then we would all be white, which of course we're not.

So if we're all in agreement with the above statements, (and I'm sure we're all not) then we perhaps we should look at something different and deeper...something else.
Consider this for a moment...perhaps what is meant when we say, we're made in the image and likeness of God, that it is our soul...our Spirit...our essence that we're made in the image of.

Our Soul; our light; our energy is color blind,  gender blind, and only recognizes the light within us.
If we could only realize this; then perhaps we could unclench our fists and begin to understand those that are different than us.

Let's not let the sun set on these thoughts...let's begin today to embrace the light.
