Here are some random thoughts as a kind of precursor to the Daily Spook Diaries 2014.
Lots of mediums do one question readings on their facebook pages. It's a great way of sharing, giving back and also making sure you keep it real for yourself and don't get too confident in your own abilities. You are only as good as your last reading and your spooks will set you down if you get too uppity with it! I always say that the day Arty comes to me and says "Enough now my dear" is the day I give up. It's really not my choice, it's their choice. Too many people are of the impression that the mediums are the ones with the special talent. Well in my world you don't have the talent if the spooks don't want to play. I mean you can't force someone to talk to you can you? In saying that we must remember I am talking about mediumship and not psychic ability as they are two different things.
I decided to start keeping the Daily Spook as a diary from January and to be brutally honest and open with it nitty gritty and all, so others can see that mediums are ordinary folk who just have to juggle the human and the spiritual. You get too bogged down in the spiritual and your human life turns to poop, too bogged down in the human and your spooks either give up or you mess it up yourself. I used to be someone who if a medium told me the moon was made of cheese I would get a box of crackers out! They would tell me I was going to do "so and so" or "such and such" and so instead of letting it happen naturally I would force the issue and go off and do it, which always ended in disaster as I wasn't letting my life unfold as it SHOULD. I was messing with what was there for me and most times because I had pre-empted something that I wasn't ready for, I amde a mess of it or ended up getting hurt.
I am a relatively ordinary person, middle aged, one grown up child and spent the best part of the last 25 years in the commercial world. Even thought the transition to a more spooky career was natural for me it wasn't easy. Learning when to be open to spook and when to tell them to bugger off (which you can you know!) interpreting messages for myself let alone other people and knowing how to deliver them was a steep climb. Mediumship is not just "oooh I can do this" and away you go as you are dealing with real people but also in a world we simply do not understand yet. It can sometimes be a curse rather than a blessing if you don't keep it real! I only do 6 readings a week, I don't use my spooks any more than I would intentionally use my friends, but I have spooks with me daily. So familiar are they that I call them spooks and they call me a variety of names...trust me they do!
So just how ordinary is my life? Well last night I went to bed and a male spook came up to me and I asked him who he was. He said "I'm going to poke you" as if warning me he was going to touch me in the physical (it still makes me jump) so as not to scare me! I said "Go on then" and he did, he poked me in the ribs! He laughed and then dissolved back into wherever. As I was sleeping in the camp trailer last night (Christmas houseful and it is so peaceful in there anyway) I got up in the middle of the night for a pee. As I was unzipping the door a female voice said "It's beautiful out here now the rain has stopped." I couldn't see anyone all I knew was it was a she. This type of thing doesn't disturb me now as I have learned that not every contact is a profound message from God via a spook, sometimes they are just there and that's all there is to it.
Recently I had a nasty shock and a tough lesson about "being in spook all the time." A dear friend of mine is quite ill and we had been talking about death and who was and who wasn't afraid. It was an interesting conversation over a few reds and such are the friendships involved no subjects are taboo. I left feeling a little pie-eyed and also pensive so I posted the question on my facebook page, "If you had the opportunity, would you want to know if you were going to die?" Some interpreted it as me offering to tell people when they were going to die...Noooooooo I do not do that. I do "you aren't going to die" if someone is ill and that's what I get but not any more than that. Then that night sitting up in bed quietly reading a non spooky book someone decided to tell me when my friend was going to die.
What do I do with that kind of information? Did I hear it right? Are they just picking a random date for the shock of it and to teach me a lesson that I am not God and it isn't my right to dabble in that area or were they preparing me, being kind so to speak? It's a head spin and I wandered around for days with it in my head. Then looking through some photographs I had taken at the gathering I was am referring to, I noticed there were people in the photograph that certainly weren't there that night! Spooky people! I had actually stopped using the camera because we were outside at night and the flash wasn't working!! As well as the heavenly bodies a larger than large stark white orb and someone behind a chair as if they were trying to pull someone else back. I am not going to post the photograph you will just have to believe me. For goodness sake I am talking about someone's death and I am sure as heck not going to post a photo of them!!! Cruel or what? Mediumship is not something we know everything about and sometimes it isn't the magical "gift" (ugh hate that word!) that people think it is. We work hard and we are always learning, sometimes not via the easy route!
There are other times when we mediums have to be thick skinned. Sometimes your radar is bent, the spooks aren't up for it or you are just wrong. It happens. Why are mediums "bad people" if they get it wrong? We are called fakes and all sorts of nasty things, and yet if someone accidentally gives you the wrong change in Coles they aren't faking it! If a Doctor says you have gastro and you end up with a burst appendix (as happened in our family) it doesn't mean he got his MD out of a cereal box and is really a plumber called Bert! Be kind people, we are making our way into a world that no one understands.
I'm just saying right?
