Please Close the Gate!

January 8, 2014

Gosh it's hard to keep this as a regular thing with all of the post Christmas family stuff so be kind to me if there are a few gaps! Had the planning day for the 2014 schedule which was great and very productive and now Tracey and I are up to our alligators putting it all into place. So really there hasn't been much spook action for a few days. 

As the drive to Tracey's place is over an hour I do tend to get my spook on then. We love driving together (me and my spooks) as it is a great time to talk without being interrupted! Matt isn't as frequent a visitor as he was at the beginning of our relationship but he always manages something when Tracey and I get our work boots on! For planning day it was 'road trip' that he came up with and apparently the whole thing was his idea! We laughed, when he was with us in the physical it was always one crazy scheme after another and finally he comes up with a business plan that is so crazy, it just might work!  Arty is with me as I write, actually telling me I am tired and I should go to bed as we have 9 readings to do in the next two days. I just speak for him and the other ethereal attendees so it's not really me that ends up plum tuckered! Haven't seen P for a few days, in fact not since she bought Josephine for a visit which was a lovely surprise. P is fiery and wilful but such a compassionate and passionate woman, but Josephine is far more placid and you know sometimes when you have that nice calm wise energy around you, that's the way it makes you feel too, so thank you ladies! My spooks have been urging me in the last few days to take more care of myself, so I think the earlier warning about the hospital "bizzo" might just have been me and the grapes should indeed go back in the fridge!

Anyway I am rambling, I wanted to talk about Gatekeepers as I posted something on my facebook page and got quite a reaction. Now the one thing about the spiritual that I never profess is to know everything...but Arty does because he is there and he knows what's what, so when it comes to passing things on I rely on him for the details.  We have to remember that the spirit world is something we have given "fact and form" to as we don't really know what it is like. We have all had experiences and we have found that certain practices work but at the end of the day all we have done is create an energetic reality that works for us; whether that is angels, imps, devils or God himself, we visualised a reality we can relate to until we are there and know for sure. Visualisation is done by our spiritual self (in our minds) so that's how it becomes our spiritual reality even if it isn't the human reality. 

We all have a spiritual gatekeeper, protector if you like, that we can ask for help. Well the truth is we can ask any spook for help but our gatekeeper is the spook that keeps house in our own personal spiritual space. Our energy cell if you like, the level upon which we operate when we are in the human experience. To help us understand the concept we have created actual gates to go with the human form gatekeepers as a visualisation to help us not only humanise this spiritual principal but also to assist in manifesting our own protection.  There is no doubt in my mind though that the spiritual energy that becomes our gatekeeper once had human form. After all, you can't really be responsible for someone who is still learning in the human if you haven't "been there done that" yourself! The form that they show themselves in is their last form on earth before they were ready not to come back again; their human lessons completed they are then ready to evolve spiritually as well as guide the human spirit.

I regularly talk to and thank my gatekeeper and a few times I have seen another spirit with him (whom I knew in life and who was military) and this makes me know I need to tighten up my protection routine as he has had to bring in some backup! Don't rely wholly on your gatekeeper, it is up to you to open and close the door. I have a think with mine that certain spirits aren't allowed in; we have managed to keep it like that for a while although once or twice they have sneaked past him. Why? Because I wasn't doing my part!

There are some good parts in my book about gatekeepers so I thought I might share it here at the risk of boring those who have read the book! It is with pleasure that I introduce you to my gatekeeper below;

Who Goes There?

After such an intense series of lectures with Arty, my next stop was to rummage around the guides and gatekeeper’s principle. I have to admit for a while there I thought the guides and gate-keepers thing was nothing more than concocted spice by psychics or mediums. Once again I must apologise for being categorically incorrect! What we should not do is confuse those spooks around us to help out, with those who are our guides or gatekeepers. The various others who contributed to the conversation emphatically stated that our immediate loved ones are rarely, if ever, our guides or gatekeepers; they cannot be one and the same. 

Someone once told me that her Grandfather was her guide and as she was also a practising medium it was true that I saw him most times when I visited her. However, he was there as a family member to help out, the same as he would have done in his human life; he was not with her as a spiritual guide for he was not yet adequately evolved to be so. Your guides are sorted out well before your Nanna is born, let alone passes over. New spirits, ie those who have recently departed, are rarely equipped to look after themselves let alone others when it comes to deciding who comes and who goes!

We all have one main gate-keeper for one human life-cycle at a time. As we learn and grow through life and death cycles, they change. I am lucky enough to have met mine, although it was under rather hectic circumstances! A neatly dressed man from the early 1900’s, with a mop of mid brown hair and a youthful look that belies his advice that he is in his late 40’s, his name is John Trumble. 

He is such a quiet and unassuming soul, whom I regularly thank for his hard work, because I know I work him hard! I met the charming Mr Trumble during the dark years, at a time when we were both fighting to keep the bad guys out and the good guys in, only he knew how and I didn’t or wouldn’t in those days. It was well before I took the need to safeguard my higher self seriously and I welcomed one and all into my space. If I felt a presence I would engage with it and some of those incidents were as volatile and bizarre as can possibly be imagined, as you will discover in later chapters!
