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.
