Who's In Charge Here?

Monday March 3, 2014

I often get questions like; can you help me find my lost earring or do you know where I left my car keys? I wonder, is it downright disrespectful to ask spook to ‘go fetch’?  Actually I don’t wonder at all, I find it to be quite rude. Akin to asking the best neurosurgeon in the world to clip your toe nails! The analogy refers to spook being the surgeon and not me. It’s like being asked the sex of an unborn child or whether we will buy a house. Are both so important and life changing that you really think that is what the power of spirit is all about? How do the people who don’t believe manage without having a spook in their pocket?

People often tell me that someone; great Uncle Ferdy for example, is “always” around them and that they do certain things for them. Like a prized performing poodle on a leash that you gently tug now and again when you want something done or you want to know something before it comes to pass. Oh yes he always tells me when such and such is about to happen! Exclaims the ever proud “owner” of that spook!  Then there is the “when will I see them?” “When will they show themselves to me?” A question that usually comes with an exasperated sigh, as if spirit is being noncompliant, rather the fact that the individual just isn’t ready, according to spirit, yet.

The pinnacle of spook ignorance and disrespect I found was when I was actually told by a loved one how I could and couldn’t interact with their passed over relative. Big fat LOL for that one! Not my decision and not anyone else’s on this mortal coil either. My lady spook and I often shoot the breeze and I love having her around. I don’t keep her in a glass cage underneath my bed and it's her choice to be around me. sometimes I read for people and they don't get the spirit they want, it's rare but it happens or the loved one the sitter considers the most important comes in right at the end. Their gruntles get dissed because Auntie Mamie wasn't knock knock knocking on heavens door waiting to speak in the human world.

We have become arrogant, demanding and wasteful of our connection with spook. We are making assumptions that this is yet another area of life where we must have ultimate control; the evolved man, modern life, western civilisation. Call it what you will but it’s really just all arrogance and ego.  It’s all about “Look at me and what I can do if I can just train my spooks right,"  rather than “Wow, we are part of this universe and there is so much we don’t know yet!” We don’t have control of anything spiritual. We have a modicum of interaction that at times allows us to make decisions about our interplay with spirit, such as throwing out the bad guys or letting in the good ones. The notion that we can make a spiritual being do what we want to do when we want them to do it, is ridiculous and selfish.

When I think about my spooks I call them mine out of a sense of affection and not ownership. My wonderful friends not my great new handbag if you get my meaning. I know you do. I didn’t ask for Arty or P. They came to into my life rather than I went looking for them and chose to stay. Possibly because Arty and I share a similar thirst for knowledge of the human and the spiritual and P and I are so darned alike it’s scary! I get the connection. But they don’t belong to me. They aren’t mine and I certainly don’t control what they do.

It is different with Matthew; although he too came of him own free will. He was on a mission and even though his last year on earth was only his 24th I still respect him because I know he is wiser and higher than I am now – especially as he has gone through the knowing.  His mission was accomplished and it was then that he went forward on his own spiritual journey and evolved further than his human self. I didn’t want him to go through fear of never seeing him again (although I saw him the next night so my tears were for nothing!), but he had to haul ass and I had to let him go. Again it wasn't my decision. He had to go on and leave the last twinkle of his human self behind to become a spirit real now that he has reconciled where he is.

Our roles have been reversed and the universe has decided that his best purpose, for now, is with me. Ok so I got my own way, but I am not arrogant enough to think it was because I am special or it's what I wanted. It was just what the universe had planned.  So why can’t we all be grateful for what the Universe gives us in terms of spirituality rather than stomping our feet because we REALLY wanted to know what happens in the last episode of Suits before it happens! Sure when I go looking for Arty and P and Matthew too, if they are there I will let them know I need them, but I don’t ding a little bell and they come running. I am honoured to have their love and support and I will not abuse it. Nobody should.

I love reading for people who need and deserve it; P loves to read for women who need hope, and support. She also loves to reunite lost loved ones who never had a chance to have that final word even if it is just “I love you.”; Arty likes to read for people who need to have a greater understanding of their life and the path they are on and Matthew it seems likes to read for younger people to keep them on the right track. All three of them like to read for a purpose rather than a party trick.

So if you need to know if you are having a boy or a girl; where your car keys are and if your husband or wife is cheating on you, please don't ask us. If you are in trouble, confused, running out of hope or needing some direction where the path doesn't seem clear, then we are here for you. There are some areas that we read without charge particularly missing persons and recent suicides. We prefer to prevent both if we can though.

We are just having a little vent…you all understand right! Tomorrow thanks to Tamara Scott we are going to talk about Reincarnation!
