"Chairman of the Joint Chiefs compares Russia activities to Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939; State Department makes new claims, but won't show the evidence"

In FEBRUARY (and at that time I don't know of anyone else "predicting" this would happen) I said there were going to be serious "issues" in Crimea and the Ukraine

most people "poo poo'd" this, saying nothing would/could happen

and I said, as well, it was reminiscent of Germany's tactics and actions in the Sudetenland in 1938, which lead to the invasion of Poland the following year

I see others are now coming to similar conclusions

A few years back -- somehwere around 2009 or so, I predicted that cars would be gone by 2040 and replaced by something else

something I envisioned as being smaller, more "futuristic" vehicles, sort of a hovercraft hybrid that, best guess

utilizes a technology combining electicity and magnets . . . here, I believe, is a small step in that direction

For those who have asked my opinion about Bitcoin -- I have said, repeatedly, since the first time anyone asked me

that, eventually (and this seems like a no-brainer to me) the states and Federal government would begin to regulate the usage and distribution

in an effort to make sure it did not "steal their thunder"

and, as a result, this would be sort of a bad day for investors in bitcoin

. . . am I surprised by this news ?????

uh - NO

a prediction I made last year (and I don't think this was taxing my "psychic powers" much -- but like all predictions, people wanted, at the time, to tell me I was wrong)

has, not so surprisingly, come to pass

almost verbatim to my original "outline"

A prediction I made first in the 1990's and have repeated every year or two since . . . it is looking more and more as if it will soon "appear"

I have been asked, quite a bit, about how I think "Death" works -- a subject I find fascinating

my "ideas" (surprise, I know !!) are kind of "at odds" with much of the "common wisdom" of many mediums -- who knows who's "right"

certainly I make no claims to know anything about capital D "Death" with any "certainty"

but my sense is not that we "go somewhere" when we die but rather we are already, concurrently "somewhere" all along

it is a flip in consciousness, not a journey to "another place"

think quantum physics with an electron in two places concurrently. we are both here and "there" and so this connection, which seems so far away, is not so foreign, after all

we don't die to be reborn but are simply wrapped up in a blanket of soul consciousness with many colors, like a tapestry

there is no separation -- this is what I am learning

more than ever I believe that we are living concurrently in the "Earth world" and the "Spirit world". I trust more and more that what comes is ok, in its perfect time

all is a gift 

Death, therefore, isn't really an end

it is simply looking off in to the sunset, focusing on a new day yet to come

Over the years, I have talked quite a bit about a "unified field" theory of divination.  I have tried, in my own way, to forge ahead with my "style" and philosophy as a "reader" and it didn't always connect with other people, in large part because I kept rejecting many of the things they found, in me, most appealing. I understand that -- but I was never able to fully articulate what I "did" in a way that I felt was consistent with my "higher self". When I turned the "remote viewer -- you're going to get a job in a building next to the fire station" thing on, well . . . all was good.

But that misses the point. The point is . . . root cause. Without understanding the mechanics of "why" that thing I see is likely to happen, you are in a passive state, literally asleep. I am still making my way, slowly -- but surely . . . towards integrating the causal links behind behavior, both backwards and forwards. The future and the past . . . one unified body of knowledge, sliced at a specific point -- a holographic model of behavior and pre-cognition with the added bonus of walking in, and listening to, other "parallel worlds".

The integration of the mind, both conscious and sub-conscious, with the body . . . and by body I mean not only the physical body we wear but the larger social, political body that surrounds us, influencing us in so many ways . . . bits of energy swirling in, around, and through us . . . the question: how does the body interface with the mind? How do we become aware of old psychological triggers in the body; how do we understand them and make them "conscious" allies as opposed to "unconscious" assassins?

I have always gone after a bigger fish with the expectation that I had all the tools to land the biggest ones. That may not be true but I continue on working towards understanding how it all goes together. I have never given up and I feel somehow closer to "figuring it all out".

I see more and more each day how reincarnation works and why it matters. "Past lives", for me, are the missing link.

I created a divination deck specifically geared towards past lives: the Khar - Ma: Past Lives Divination Deck -- and, in doing so, spent quite a bit of time thinking about how past lives might "work". Even more than that, I had additional time to tap in to my own personal "karmic vault".

Here is a sample of what I've "discovered".

In the radio shows and live past life "reads" I've done on air, I have talked many times about "thematic buckets" in regards to past life influences. Typically, people have 3 primary themes. Some more, some less but the most common way for me to see it is for people to have 3 primaries; this might be "Healer", "Artist", "Diplomat", "Military", "King", "Spiritual/Monk", "Mystic/Magician", etc etc.

And these "themes" tend to be primary or secondary in a particular life. Someone might be, let's say, 20 % Healer, 20 % Artist and 60 % Builder in this lifetime (relatively speaking) and much like certain planets may work as undercurrents in the natal astrology chart, so too will these "sub-themes" work in the current life time, relative to how an individual makes decisions and/or processes information. The ratio might have been much different (and usually that's the case) in a different incarnation as you tend to shift "roles" each round, in order to add texture . . . this allows you to better "see" who you "are", by continually shining your inner spiritual light against this rich and varied tapestry of cumulative experiences.

Not only that, just as the place you live influences how you think and act -- native and national cultures seep in to the blood stream, whether you're conscious of it or not -- there are also certain places (and the memories of the dominant culture of a particular place) that underscore who you are now -- and how you act. The "how you act" part is influenced by an instinctive expectation of "how you SHOULD act" and not only do past life themes "show up", past life "locales" also show up.

If your genetic memory is tuned to a specific channel, say Central Asia, and you're living in West Texas, for example, then you may have a karmic "disconnect" between cultures and attitudes. There is "what you see and hear" and what you "know" deep within. Sometimes they line up; sometimes they don't.

For me, I tend to see myself having 4 primary themes: (1) King / Politician, (2) Mystic / Magician, (3) Military / Rebel and (4) Artist / Aesthete. When I "look" at my own "past lives" I see a LOT of uniforms, a whole lot of uniforms. But I also have the mystic sit in a cave thing going on, too . . . one from each food group :)

I have 4 primary themes, all very strong, which truthfully is fairly unusual, and the themes are, in one way of looking at it, almost polar opposites. One of the outcomes of this type of thematic blending would suggest a fairly "complex" personality (which is kinda true, don't you think) -- one at home with sudden and dramatic shifts, in keeping with the natural instinct, and need, for adaptability to potentially shifting sands within the particular "job description" associated with these "types" of lifetimes.

This information can be helpful in defining "styles of learning" as well as "styles of adapting". The ego structure is a fragile beast in all of us and defining and understanding these themes is a good way to delve in to the depth of soul driving us onward. I am not going to go in to a lot of detail in this particular piece, but this "information" is fully accessible (to me anyway and I am sure to others, as well) via something that I can best describe as "home movies in my head".

The lifetime "imprints" somehow on the etheric "film" -- which is also how "ghosts" come to be, too, in a slightly different manner. A fascinating subject -- one that has driven me onward for over 35 years . . . 

“Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” -- Oscar Wilde

Sometimes you will find that truly "karmic" relationships 

(and yes, I believe there are some that have an extra past life wallop to them)

are always about changing your "frames of reference"

without them, your path goes along on its own trajectory

slow, steady

and then, poof, someons shows up, causes a "reaction"

and sets you off on a different course, with a completely different set of eyeballs

always a blessing -- no matter how they appear, no matter what the disruption

some relationships change you more than others -- they are always, ultimately, a gift

 .  . .  even if the gift isn't "revealed" until they pass and the dust settles

Sometimes when I look at people I see something akin to a trail of past life influences almost literally tagging along behind them. This is rare, but when I do see it (to me anyway) it always suggests someone with a long history of achievement in a particular field--the most obvious place one finds this is with artists: painters, dancers, violinists, jugglers, whatever. But singers--great singers--are a breed all their own and these nine women all have that very distinct "karmic gift" . . . this doesn't mean their lives are easy or even that they will be "successful" . . . but it does suggest that they have "something" that the others just don't.

Two women stand out on this list because the very first time I saw them their aura was SO BIG that I was totally blown away. The most intense "psychic reaction" ever, I think, was with Jill Scott. That is a woman bringing a LONG line of music with her. The other one is Lauryn Hill. She, too, is reaching WAY back with a strong musical "history".

I love Amy Winehouse--no matter what her personal life may be, as an artist she truly takes my breath away with how good she is (this was written before Amy's tragic passing). . . but the one singer on this list who, I believe, is the most karmically "gifted" . . . the one with the true finger print of God on her chest and in her heart is . . . Ms. Aguilera . . . a star of the opera (yes that is the image I always see with her) many many many times. I believe she is the MOST "gifted", at least based on my perception of her "aura".

Past live "influences" and "karmic gifts" . . . and "debts" . . . are a weird and wonderful and certainly controversial topic for discussion. But I do think these women (and of course they are not the only ones, either--just ones who stand out to me in dramatic ways) have "that thing".

I am also including a story I have told many times about my "vision" of another singer and my guess as to who he may have been . . .

1. Christina Aguilera

2. Marianne Faithfull

3. Ute Lemper

4. Amy Winehouse

5. Jill Scott

6. Lauren Hill

7. Diana Ross

8. Mariah Carey

9. Shelby Lynne

I was listening to the radio back in 1982 and heard a new song by a young artist I had never heard before and when I looked out in to the living room by the stereo I saw, pretty much plain as day, an image of Buddy Holly. Even for me, this was sort of a "strange" thing and I thought it "odd" but then much of my life has "been odd" for quite awhile and so I went about my business--the song ended, Buddy said adios.

Next time I heard the song on the radio, same thing--out of nowhere VERY intense image of Buddy Holly, glasses, guitar, the whole Buddy Holly "thang". I began noticing that every time this artist came on the radio I saw Buddy Holly's image but I ONLY saw it when this artist played.

The song was a hit but all hits fade and then, brand new song shows up and poof once again: Buddy Holly. I didn't realize it at the time but it turned out that this was the second release by this young artist. I theorized that this singer was perhaps the reincarnation of Buddy Holly and I tried to find out if the math for this held true in any way. This was back in the dark ages before there was such a thing as the "internet" . . . yes those days did exist . . . and it was not an easy thing to confirm.

Later, I found something which I think is very intriguing. Buddy Hollly died, along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, on February 3, 1959. The artist I heard all those years ago, if my "theory" were true, I supposed should have been born pretty close to nine months later, in November of 1959.

The artist's birthday was, in fact, November 5, 1959--nine months and two days after Buddy Holly died. His breakthrough album, "Cuts Like a Knife", was recorded in 1982, when he was 22 years old--the age Buddy Holly was when he died.

In an ironic twist, that same year my girl friend, who lived with me at the time, contracted leukemia. She was also 22 years old; sadly, Lisa died five years later.

The artist I heard all those years ago . . . and the person I feel is likely to be the reincarnation of the great Buddy Holly is . . . Bryan Adams.
