Spiritual Vision

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...

  So, why do we need validations? We sometimes feel that we're on the right path in life, but we may not be sure, so we seek out people who think like us, look like us, vote like us, have the same interests as us, in order to belong.  Just look at the comments on social media regarding politics. Sometimes it's just too much as friends go against friends. It's US V THEM battle royal. It seems we have to belong to something or someone in order to have our life validated. We need to find our tribe, I get it; I'm no different, but at what cost? Do we need to sacrifice our identity, our essence of who we are to fit in? A couple of years ago, I felt like I didn't fit into life. Things were going well, but for some reason, felt out of place with life. With metaphysical circles, (I'm a clairvoyant) we use the term 'Spirit' to define a higher power. When the subject of me not fitting in came up, Spirit said, "Instead of you fitting into life,have life fit in...

Throughout life, we have ups and down; things that go right and things that don't. Things that were going well; health, relationships, and work; until they jumped off the paper in our  mind and joined the real world and became a disaster. This is true, especially in relationships.  We ask ourselves, "what is wrong with me?" or "am I cursed?" We feel like we're beating our head against the wall time and time again, and nothing is happening. We view ourselves as a failure, as we call ourselves names, (which our body does not appreciate), and resign ourdselves to the fact of this is just the way it is. Nonsense!  Look back on your life and ask yourself, 'when did it ever go right?' If you're honest, you will recall things and situations that went right. You may not have noticed it but there was a flow of energy at that time, that made everything in your life possible. I used to play a lot of tennis, and we called it, "being in the zone."  ...

"Ships are safe in the harbor, but thats not what ships are made for."- Successories Artists, musicians, leaders of commerce, industry, spiritual leaders, technology experts, etc. all have one  thing in common...at one point in their life, they took a risk. They became entrepreneurs.  They went against conventional wisdom by going with their gut and using their intuition in order  to enact change in the world. They didn't play it safe. This is why I led this blog post with that quote from the Successories company. They discovered by bending your mind around problems by thinking laterally and not vertically, they made a difference in the world. They used critical thinking. They didn't take dangerous risks, but made the risks when their intuition told them to, and  even if it didn't go according to plan, they were one step closer to manifesting their destiny.  Women are a natural at critical thinking...us men, not so much.  (which is why women win arguments o...

   "Am I a failure?" "Where did it go wrong?" "What am I supposed to do now?" These thoughts are dangerous to men who have lost their livelihood. This scenario has been happening for decades as companies restructure their organizations. Men in their 40's and 50's are told by companies, both large and small, that they are no longer needed and the company is 'going in a different direction.' Let's face it...sometimes that's  code for "we need someone younger."  To be told in life, that you are no longer of value can be devastating. To some, their value is all they have. I'm not talking about performance based issues. Poor performance has no age barrier. To start over on a new career could be a blessing in disguise, but that conversation needs to happen much later when there's time to look back and reflect. Now is not the time to go down that road. I'm talking about companies that cut back on payroll. That burden ...

Throughout our life, no matter the age, we accumulate a fair amount of visible scars. Scars that are  physical that leave a lasting effect on our bodies and cause us serious and unbearable pain. Bruises, surgeries, broken bones, you name it, we have all had them. Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, rehab centers, doctors offices, etc. are full of people in pain.  But what about the ones that are hurting on the inside? The scars that we never see. Trauma such as discrimination, abuse, hurt, loneliness, depression, divorce, separation, isolation, financial ruin, loss of a loved one, etc. These scars are the deepest and hurt the most. They are the deepest cuts of an unseen kind that never go away. They are there forever and just when we start to push  the scars aside and move on with our lives, something reminds us of times and  situations that we wish would disappear and just go away. I call these the scars of the heart. What can help us deal with these scars? Welcome t...

What if tomorrow never comes?  What do we do in the little time that is left for us? Reach out to people to tell them we love them?  Reach out to people that we have hurt and ask for forgiveness? Reach out to people that have hurt us and grant them forgiveness? If we believe in a higher power, ask for mercy?  Many of you know my story of spending 238 days in the hospital of which 200 were in ICU. In the beginning I was given a 15-20% chance of living. I was in a partial coma for the first forty- five days and my heart had to be shocked mulitple times a day to get it back on track. Trust me when I say there were many people in the hospital far worse off than me. I had to have a heart  and kidney transplant and by the grace of God, here I am. I now try to take nothing for granted. I laugh more than I use to, I'm more compassionate; more giving, more appreciative of trees, flowers,  the sky, clouds (things I didn't see for eight months), and more blessed to have fa...

 The moral compass...the light that is supposed to point us in the right direction and keep us there so that we don't stray off the path, has disappeared, or at least, to many of us. has taken a sabbatical. What happened? Where did it go?  Better yet, did we ever have one and what about right and wrong? The difference between right and wrong is no longer a clear choice.  The lines have been blurred. In todays marketplace of ideas, politics, finance, business, etc., it's no longer making a right or wrong choice. That is a dualistic mindset that no longer applies to many. The right choice has been replaced by the lesser of two evils. We now look at choosing the one that hurts the less. Right and wrong is a matter of pereception.  Morality is never a matter of perception. It exists on it's own. To do what is moral rises above right and wrong; it is never up for debate. Our moral compass didn't fail us...we failed it.

Question... what if others could hear our thoughts? What would it mean  to our family; our work or career; our friendships, people that we meet for the first time, etc.? What would they hear? Would it be devastating or encouraging news to them? Hopefully they would hear the good that we see in others...the compliments, the happiness,  the love, the kindness, the encouragement, etc. Unbfortunately, they would also hear the cruel, mean, back-stabbing, wish they were hurt or dead, jealous, envy, judgemental, thoughts as well. We know this is true, because we've all done it. It satisfies us at times to see people fall. It's our wicked, shadow self at work. Negative energy is stronger than positive energy because we give it  more freedom to remind us that life is unfair and we didn't get to grab the brass ring. Negativity teaches us that the quickest way to success is for others to fail. This is because we never come to grips with failure. So, how can we make a course correcti...

 We had plans...after high school; after college, after our first job, our first relationship, etc. We thought  about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. We had plans to find our partner in life, get a  good paying job, have kids, the car, the house, you name it we wanted it. Then life got in the way and continued to get in the way, as we stumbled our way in and out of jobs,  relationships, financial burdens, etc. We became zombies of the cosmos. What should have been the perfect life, melted away before our eyes, as we resigned ourselves to the humdrum life we now have. We lost the dream...or did we? Dreams and plans in life seem to come and go, but are they gone forever?  No...they are buried in our subconscious, waiting to be resurrected, but in diffrent forms. The poet, dreamer, artist, writer, dancer, musician, athlete, that is buried within us somehow comes  out but as a better dream, a better plan, a better way of life. If life has gotten...

 See if this resonates with you.  It's 2024, things are going well in my life, health is good, family is more  than I deserve, finances are okay, could be better but also could be worse, buay writing my third book, I  have a nice home with my beautiful wife, beautiful children, great daughter in law, son in law, and awesome grandchildren. Then why do I feel like I do not fit in to life?   Some friends don't get me or at least don't wantv to get me since "I've changed." The Universe said to me, 'you're looking at it all wrong. "Don't try to fit into life, have life fit into you!" Yes, I've changed, we all change...it's called an awakening  but it took time as awakenings often do,.  I'm evolving into what I was meant to be all along; an authentic person. If you ever feel that life is getting in your way, stop what you're doing and get in the way of life. Live life on your terms and nobody elses. It's your life and nobody...

  Where am I going? What is happening to me? I feel I'm on edge, but why? What journey am I on and what destination will I find when I get there?  This restlessness that I feel is overtaking my ability to function. I'm going in so many different  directions that I think I'm going insane. I feel detached, isolated, separated from others without a clue as to how to get back to where I use to be. Relax. You've opened your mind to thinking your way into a new you. This happens when you've been bumping your head into the ceiling for so long. Your new skin of discovery is pushing through the old way of conventional wisdom by removing the confines of your mind. You have emerged as one of the new breed of old souls. Sometimes it takes awhile but you're here. Time to get comfortable with the uncomfortable by getting to know your new self. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

 I've said it many times before, FEAR is the one emotion that rears it's ugly head multiple times a  day. We sometimes live our lives in fear, waiting for the next shoe to drop.   We wake up thinking ,"I'm going to lose my job, or something's going to happen to our kids." I'm not talking about intuition or empathic gifts or picking up negative vibrations and energy. It's the fear of the UNKNOWN.  We don't know what is going to happen nor do we know how to 'fix'it when it does. We feel helplessly suffocated by our fear of the unknown Yet, millions of people flock to the movies each week to see the latest horror movie.  That's fear we don't mind, because we can conrrol it by walking away from the theatre when the  movie is over or if we walk out because it was too scary. We go, knowing we're going to  be scared, so this is known to us when we decide to go to the movies. However, it's hard to find a solution to the unknown, unl...

  WHAT DO DREAMS MEAN? The dream world is like walking through a clairvoyant forest. Here's why.  1) SYMBOLIC - Dreams are heavily symbolic...much like clairvoyance. Example- to see death of a  person, including us, doesn't necessarily mean someone is going to die. In most dreams, it means the end  of something. An idea, a path we're on, our career, relationships, etc. Remember, when something dies or is destroyed, something new is created, 2) WE SEE OURSELVES - People we see in our dreams are a reflection of ourselves. Situations in Because so much is going on in our lives, the subconscious brings those thoughts and situations to the  conscious level as a way of seeing ourselves in a different light and bein aware of who we need to be. 3)  UNRESOLVED CONFLICT-  This is the big one..dreams are full of unresolved conflicts that are buried in our subconscious. This means that for whatever reason, conflicts in our lives  have not yet been resolved. I...

  WHY DO WE DREAM?   The brain receives stimuli from many different sources all day long.   There are far too many stimuli for it to process., so The mind prioritizes the stimuli and makes you aware of those that need immediate attention,so that you may act accordingly.    The stimuli that you are not consciously aware of are nevertheless noted by the brain, but on a subconscious level   Furthermore, you feel emotions all day.  Some you acknowledge and some you repress, especially trauma, and it goes to the sub conscious level.  At night, while our body is asleep, the mind continues to work getting the signals, thousands of  stimuli and enotions to the conscious level. Since we're asleep. we cannot receive the signals at  a conscious level like we would normally do when we're awake, the only way for the brain to get these signals is to dream. It is the portal from the subconscious to the conscious. It is one of the closest...

DOES EVERYBODY DREAM? Dreams have been the topic of many a conversation since the beginning of humankind.   What do they mean? Can they tell us anything about the future? Does everyone dream? The questions are endless, and as part of my studies while on my way to a Doctoral in Philosophy and a PhD in Metaphysical Humanistic Sciences, I studied dream interpretation. Here's what I discovered.  Everybody dreams. We may push back on this, but it's true that everybody dreams no matter how  steadfast we are in our belief that we don't. Here's why everyone dreams. During the day, the brain receives a multitude of stimuli, such as emotions, situations, people, etc. and then prioritizes the ones that need immediate attention, in addition to the experiences that we face  that we denty them happening. .  At night the body rests, but the mind continues to work, such as processing everything that is in the subconscious. The only way to get the signals out of our subcons...

We have to have darkness in our lives, we can't live without it. It's a curious statement to say we need it, so let's  take a look at darkness. Darkness is a sense of something that is evil. .Darkness is sinister and unforgiving. It is sometimes the very thing that brings us to our knees without warning. It wreaks havoc with the people we love. Knowing all of this and knowing how it plays freely in our minds and daily lives,why do we need it?    Wouldn't we better off without it? Well, without darkness how would we recognize light?  Darkness was here first, then came light, which exposed darkness. so we could recognize the difference. Withour darkness, how would we know to stay close to those with light and to shy away from those  who are surrounded by evil?  How would we develop courage, bravery, strength, determination, resilence, etc. without darkness? However darkness does expose certain people who may need our help providing they will listen and may ev...

During the next few weeks, praying and meditating will be the focus of this blog. Here's the first post. My two best friends, Paul and Rich, have what they call "prayer gardens.' They visualize a place where the people they pray for are in a special, unique, lush  garden that's filled wilh loved ones who have   departed this earth, people in need, and special situations and circumstances that need healing. In today's world, we have have many people and things to pray for, so it is reassuring that there is a place  where all of our prayers are together guided by the mystical hands of the Holy Ones. There's no need to pull the wseeds; that was done for us long ago.                                                                           

It seems that we as a people have stopped caring in one particular way. We've stopped caring what  people think of us; and to some extent, that's a good thing. Some say it's an age thing; but I disagree.  I believe that it's personal  experiences that drains us to the point where we absolutely have no energy to respond to the finger pointing and constant criticism. It's not my job  to make people feel good about themselves, while they tear me down under their critical eye.  It's not being dismissive of others, we  just need to find  a place to rest from being exhausted, tired, and  drained from  others offering their opinions about us. What we should wear, how we should 'look', how  we should act, etc.  Some of  these people have good intentions. Their feedback are grounded in sincerity, concern for our  health and well-being. They are offering suggestions not marching orders. We love these people.  because they care....

The question shouldn't be "are metaphysical gifts from God?" The questions should be "where did these gifts come from?" Were we born with these or did we acquire them akong the way?  The big questions of course, are these gifts demonic in nature? Are they from the Lord of Demons? (Satan) Some people scoff at all these questions, but metaphysical gifts, in my opinion as a clairvoyant medium, and possessing a Doctorate in Philosophy and a PhD in Metaphysical Humanistic Sciences, are from a higher power. Hopefully, they are used correctly with good intent, acknowledging that we use these gifts for our best and highest  good.  Metaphysics in general go beyond or past the physical. The gifts that are most discussed are psychic, mediumship, and clairvoyant, with mediumship being the most controversial, even though we talk to our loved ones all the time such as when times are tough, or when a memory comes up,etc. One of the reasons mediumship is controversial to some i...
