Thank you. The realization that what I perceive about this site, and your Intention were in harmony [We are not providing our visions in order to convince people we are authentic. We are exploring consciousness and the untapped gift of the mind. JM] filled me with such a lovely sensation of love and validation. Validation comes in many forms, you to me and me to you! This direct confirmation made my day...maybe my year!
I also am impressed to say that the idea of intuition/visions being akin to art also made tremendous sense to me even though I had not thought of it in those terms before. I strongly believe we each have our own process and although the theory of "how to" can be taught, and taught well, ultimately every individual finds their own way through the aetheric highway, which is much less tangible than the digital one and that's saying a lot!
I have made special effort when teaching people how to do this work not to worry about understanding what they get. I want them to be spontaneous and feel confidence in what pops up, regardless of how ludicrous or vague it is. That is where the gold is.
Yes. This "not to worry about understanding" is exactly like giving "Messages" in a group. This fits like a glove into what and how I was taught even though I STILL have to remind myself of it at times. (Libra! Over Thinking!) This is where the gold is, indeed.
I am going to take you up on " I would encourage people, when possible, to put in brackets anything that came to them as they got their visions that might give us more insight into their process." by sharing (well more than in brackets! 😊 some of my process, and how it came to be—although the example is more about how I came to my Intuitive Focus Tool [aka my Oracle Stones] than reading the future visions. Reading the global future is not my forte. But I am working on it!
Back in the day, when I was learning Tarot and constantly wanting to look at the book, or the notes from class instead of "listening" or "SEEing" the card, AND because the host of the Psychic Fair told me he had too many Tarot readers, I got really REALLY mad at Spirit (as well as at the Faire host). Later, at home, I kind of screamed at the Universe for "something" that no one else had, something I wouldn't need any book for, something that would be mine to use and would be unique if I was going to go work any Psychic Faires (It was the 80s) It took some weeks, and I won't bore folks with the entire results of that YELL (yes, Spirit can take our yelling!!!) but the first inkling was an apport on my empty living room rug (I was vacuuming), that I took to be one of my sons' pieces from a board game. It was not from a board game, although I really tried to find a game board in the toy box that it matched. No luck. What it was, was a natural, double-pointed, fluorite crystal, about the size of my thumbnail, which became the first of my Oracle Stones and came to represent Spiritual Power when it was drawn during a reading. I will not go into all the details of the rest of the Stones, but my process at the time was asking for something (OK, yelling!) that "no one else was doing! that was ONLY mine!" Then I had to accept what I saw in the rug as a tangible gift from Spirit, not a toy piece. No game board for toddlers and primary grade school boys has double terminated fluorite as game pieces! Trust me! Once I accepted this was a gift, a VERY tangible gift from Spirit, I spent a fair amount of time looking in gem shows and stores, for the rest of the initial Stones. Then I realized I only had positive stone meanings and folks who came for readings wanted to deal with not so positive stuff so I looked for a few stones to represent those things. I meditated with each stone as it came to me and listened to it tell me what it wanted to represent. Sometimes the meanings matched the generic meaning (rose quartz, love) and sometimes it didn't at all (Bloodstone, a very positive healing stone which insisted on being jealousy because it is green with red spots). I'll stop there because the Stones are for readings not visions, but the process kind of stayed with me. That is, ASK for what you want, be it a tangible or an intangible. I later asked and learned over time that when I got "shivers" over all my body, during a reading or even a simple conversation, it was Spirit saying "YES, you are on the correct path." Readings in some ways are easier than Visions. When I read for others I step out of myself and let Spirit Speak through the Stones. When I have a "feeling" or an intuition about myself or the world it is far FAR less tangible and I doubt myself. But I still follow the same kind of process, ASK. LISTEN. Write it down. Let it Be. Wait for confirmation. Sometimes confirmation is loooong in coming. Sometimes it is immediate. "Listen" doesn't necessarily mean with your ears, either. I used to yearn to actually "hear and see" but my "seeing and hearing" is not tangible, and I cannot explain it, it just IS. (Like ART!) Then you wait for the universe to respond.
Reading one-on-one is my comfort zone. I am trying (because of this site!) to move past that comfort zone and allow more visionary, global, collective-oriented information to come in. It is scary and I constantly doubt myself. I do, however, ask, listen and write things down, then I look in the predictions and realize that quite often I receive the essence of other predictions & that's the final thing, really, if we are " exploring consciousness and the untapped gift of the mind." It stands to reason many of us will get similar things, but the key is to realize we get them in different ways. I stand in awe of you Jeanne, and your Visions from 2014. I stand in awe of Baba, who gets the most interesting things! & others (Lovendures, Dee2, Journeywithme, Bluebelle and more) who consistently get "hits."
But more than anything else I value what you created for us, and that "we" gathered in and made Family.
I may have 40+ years of one-on-one Readings and channelings, but I am a novice in this kind of global read the future, and have only very recently even contemplated wanting to test that kind of incoming knowledge. I still tell Spirit NO DREAMS of bad stuff since 9/11 and Katrina did a real number on my dreams....but I don't block scary stuff if I am awake.
I miss my little in-person Spiritual Center that Covid really decimated, but I am heart❤️ened by what you created, and how it helped that hole in my life become Whole here...and especially, I value how it has evolved and matured and well, DEEPENED.
This site is anchored in the aetheric (that I see easily) and that aetheric Ray of Joy/Light/Knowledge comes down to anchor in planet reality and within the hearts of our visionaries when they ask, and I will be ever grateful that it exists.
Blessings 🌼Â
