Let the Moment Breathe

Image
                                                                                                                              What do we make of the phrase, 'defining moment'? It's been used many times, whereby a significant event or situation has changed the course  or trachetory of our lives in either a positive or negative way. What leads us up to that moment, however, are small moments that sometimes go unnoticed. If we would just allow those small moments to breathe a little, I believe it would add positive energy to the outcome. In othe words, pause, think, and reflect on what the big defining moment will mean when it rises to the surface. It's similar to breathwork....

Is there hope for the addict?

Image
I grew up in an addiction household.  My mom was addicted to pain killers that the doctors kept prescribing over and over again. She died at 62, but she looked 82 when she passed.. Drugs ages the body, mind, and spirit from the inside  out. It reduces a human being to a decaying shell. Currently 40% of my family are recovering addicts and doing very nicely, but make no mistake about it  damage was done along the way. Addiction leaves behind destruction, deceit, and loved ones in spiritual body bags. So, is there hope for what seems hopeless? Hope for the addict, at times, seems like wasting energy on someone that is either too weak-minded to care about themselves or hasn't tried hard enough to get better. However, there is a statistic that flies in the face of that mindset. According to statistics from  the the RecoveryResearch Institue, 46% of U.S. adults overcame addiction on their own, without formal treatment or assistance. Yes, there is hope for those afflicted...

Does government belong in religion?

Image
  Is it me, or does the newly announced Office of Religious Affairs give us cause of concern? In a nutshell, here's what the press release says is the thinking behind the new office. "the office will “sponsor and oversee research, technology, and analytical tools to support and assess spiritual fitness, spiritual readiness, and spiritual resilience." I agree with the adage, 'to each his own,", but not at the expense of others religious  affiliations and / or spiritual beliefs, practices, or convictions. Here's other pieces of this puzzle that concern me... One - Why is this office under the Department of Defense? Two- Why did the DOD recognize certain religions and not others? In 2026, the Pentagon  reduced the number of recognized religions from 211 down to 31. Why, and who made those decisions? Three- Who in the DOD is going to oversee and 'assess spiritual fitness, spiritual  readiness, and spiritual resilience'?. What is that person's religi...

Are Near Death Experiences real?

Image
  Near Death Experiences...(NDE) we hear about this phenomenon from people who have indicated that they have died, gone to the other side, and come back alive. They tell stories of experiencing divine energy, colors they cannot describe, music, a feeling of belonging to everything such as trees, plants, the sky, water, and sometimes having a review of their life. They describe being urrounded by love, seeing and feeling divinge figures and light. On the other hand, some have even gone to, what can best described as hell, and experienced hellish  things, such as demons, the lord of demons, agony, anguish, etc. Science even tried to replicate a NDE by inventing something called 'the God helmet'. This device was invented by scientists, who unfortunately, had bias in their work.,  They didn't believe that a soul existed, much less a belief in NDE's. Their subjects were under strict  guidelines, such as a soundproof room, electrodes connected to the frontal lobes, ski hel...

The New Age of Old Souls

Image
                                                                                                                            I’m a clairvoyant medium and have been blessed to do over a thousand  readings and thousands of messages to people in order to provide clarity,  comfort, and hopefully some closure. In the last ten years or so I’ve been blown away by the gifts of young people who have the wisdom and the knowledge of folks much older than themselves. To me, these are old souls, are here for many reasons, one of them may be to teach us how to use our gifts wisely. Another reason may be to think back when we were young and didn't try to analyze or overthink everything. W...

Blessed are the organ donors.

 It's July 10th, 2019, and I'm in a helicopter speeding to Advent Health Hospital in downtown  Orlando after spending days completely out of my body, mind, and soul at home, not knowing what was happening to me other than I was hurting everywhere especially in the  upper body area. Over the next 238 days I was in the hospital, entering eventually coming home on  March 4th 2020. In the beginning I was in and out of a coma for forty five days as they attempted to find out why the numbers on the machines were going beserk.  No one knew was going on with me, with the exception of it seemed to center around my heart. I was 'code blue' multiple times a day in the beginning although I have no memory of that or scans  that were performed during my stay. I couldn't talk, move my arms and legs, or do much except lay there, count the acoustic tiles, and think to myself, "now I know the definition of the word, surreal.' Eventually I was healthy enough to be able to mak...

Widen the path, but narrow the lane.

When I discovered my metaphysical gift of clairvoyance in my mid-fifties, it was a spiritual defining moment for me. I started doing metaphysical readings of clairvoyance and mediumship, in order to help people on their path. It was and still is a moment that brought me closer to God as  much as any church service or mass, (I'm Catholic) ever did. I've done over a thousand readings during that time and as I was approaching my seventies, there was a desire within me to move on from these gifts to explore other gifts that I might have. I began to notice that young people who would come to me for readings, had gifts that I could only dream of.  Gifts of prophecy, psychic abilities, healing, empathic, etc. that just would blow me away. I started to wonder aloud a few things. "Why don't I have those gifts?" "Are my gifts not good enough?" "Am I not 'qualified' to have those gifts?" Then I heard "Jerry, widen your path, but narrow your l...
