This is a true story [unfortunately so] – I once knew this woman, a single mom who had clawed her way to financial independence, with a 14 year old kid, too sensitive for his own good. One day the kid and his best friend were crossing the road when a drunken driver roared through the intersection … and killed the friend [yep, in front of his very eyes] … they never found the driver. So, what is a sensitive kid to do, with a mom who is all alone, working two jobs while studying to improve their lives …?
Well, what everyone else does, of course:- turn to drugs! and when anti-depressants fail … well, he turned to pot, speed, downers … anything he could find to simply ‘dull the pain’ … and he succeeded beyond his wildest expectations – you couldn’t find a better ‘functional addict’ if you tried! Move forward 10 years and the kid, now a dedicated addict, is fully riddled with Elementals and Entities, all feasting on his Life Force as if they were at an ‘all-you-can-eat-buffet’ at the local Vegas Strip Joint [hey, when they say “that monkey on your back”, they ain’t being figurative].
So, one day the mom happens to be in New York for work, and finds herself walking into a ‘Psychic Parlor’ … there she meets this most charismatic woman who, right off the bat, proceeds to tell her that her son is ‘possessed’ and that his addiction will only get worse … unless he’s ‘healed’. Yep, you guessed it, she then proceeds to sell the mom a ‘Charged Crystal’ … guaranteed to ‘cast out these Demons’ … for the paltry sum of $ 5,000!
Well, what’s a mom to do – of course she buys it [“a bargain at the price … where else would you find such
a ‘special, charged crystal’ … ! ?”] Coming back home she gives her son the crystal, with all due instructions, and, would you believe, IT
WORKED … well, for a few days, anyway. The kid went into the worst Healing Crisis I have ever seen in a long time.
So the mom calls back the Psychic, with full intention of giving her a piece of her mind … but, did I tell you she was ‘charismatic’ … the Psychic claimed that the son ‘was in fact healed … but the addiction just pulled him right back in … but, good news, for only another $ 2,000 she would charge the crystal again’ … and so she did [a mother’s love never ceases to amaze me] I will spare you the tawdry details on the rapidly deteriorating relationship between mother and son, and the ugly results [interestingly enough, nothing was ever directed at the ‘Psychic’]

So why am I telling you all this…? Not because I want you to be ‘outraged’ at the Psychic’, nor at the weakness of the kid, or the desperation of his mother … rather to gain insight as to what happened:- was the Psychic for real? Absolutely yes ! She could see the kid’s addiction and ‘possession’ quite clearly without any prior knowledge … crystals can be ‘charged’ with Healing Energies, and have been used relatively successfully … charging for one’s services is normal and accepted … so, what’s bothering you …? Is it the Ethics and Morals, of someone who would take advantage of others’ misfortune …? [if this is the case let me introduce you to a slew of lawyers / cops / doctors / politicians …].
So, what’s the problem, really !?! It is the lack of Spirituality, the lack of Light, of Wisdom and Compassion [now I sound just like a Preacher … well, the burdens of many Past Lives …] IT IS NOT ENOUGH to be ‘Psychic’ … without Spirit, the person is just wallowing in Ego at best, or is an active Black Magician at worst … so watch yourself – just because you may have a true and deep calling to walk this Path, it is not without its ‘dangers’ … you have been informed – consider yourself warned.
This month I am dedicating the classes to the true understanding of Personal and Psychic Development … be it Inner Sight, Empaths, Higher Intuition … or the basic ‘Psychic Gifts’ … and – most important – how to bring Spirit into all this [after all, without Spirit we are just an empty shell, and, as my Mad-Shaman Teacher would say … “food – just food for Darkness to gobble up . . .yumm ..”].
