Years back, I said that when Pluto went into Capricorn (2008) is when "the clock starts"

AND when Pluto squares Uranus is when the alarm goes off (this started in 2012 and ends in 2015)

think of these 3 years as hearing an alarm going off and hitting the snooze button -- but in 2015, no more snooze, you've got to wake up

this is why 2015 is going to be the most interesting and most important year of your life

I got in to a discussion earlier about "predictions" and it seems as if most people feel that there is no "fixed" position one can take when it comes to predicting what will happen to an individual -- that all predictions are right at the time but the person's free will comes in to play to support or negate the prediction.

I disagree with that. I think there is an absolute "what's going to happen" and sometimes we pick up on it and sometimes we don't. People change, of course, but our jobs is to predict that continuum . . . we need to look past what might happen and try to understand what "will" happen.

I have made hundreds, at a minimum, of exact predictions for people they assured me were impossible. They weren't -- it happens all the time. I am not 98 % accurate or any of that nonsense but people are as predictable as floods . . .

If I say something is going to happen and it doesn't, it wasn't because someone's free will came in to play, it was simply me not accurately forecasting what would happen. But there is a stronger fixed element in human behavior than most people are probably comfortable in admitting.

The ability to "influence outcomes" is dependent on a degree of consciousness. The more "self-aware" the individual, the less predictive, in my opinion, the natal chart and all people, of course, have an element of "free will" at their disposal . . . 

but to think that psychics (not just me) can't predict exact outcomes is simply not true. There are many people whose "outcomes" are easy to read and unlikely to change

this may annoy a few people (what's new hahahaa) but it is the truth.

if psychic ability is (as, of course, I believe it is) "legit"

and really IS a "gift from God" 

then what does that DO to the "argument" that psychic ability is something that comes "from the Devil" ??

There are a LOT of people, myself certainly on that list, who have been forced to "deal" with a lot of internal conflict because of the "limiting beliefs" (about "psychic ability")

forced upon us due to "Christian dogma"

needless to say, after all these years of struggling to understand "why", I have come to the conclusion that these ideas are self-serving for those professing them and so I nowhave the psychic "Get out of Jail Free" card

but most of us have had to deal with this our whole lives -- not much different emotionally from being Gay in a Christian family

no one understands and everyone "condemns" BASED on somebody else's interpretation of "Christianity"

I'm over it -- but I am a pretty self-aware character . . . and it took me 35 years to get here

others are still struggling with this -- and it is NOT fair to them

Well, not so surprisingly, Sylvia Browne's death has caused quite a commotion . . . some loved her, some reviled her but few are neutral 

and the fact that there is little neutrality is, to me, a pretty telling sign

I was not a Sylvia "fan" as I felt she was a bit too abrasive and abrupt in how she dealt with people and that bothered me

but as I said yesterday, being a "psychic" is a world FILLED with pressure and as someone who ONCE did criminal cases -- but no more . . . let me tell you, there is NO pressure to equal the expectant looks of a parent whose child has been kidnapped or murdered and they are hoping you will find them

I have been there -- nothing like it

soooooo, all this being said, I think it is important to remember that Sylvia was in the gun sights of a LOT of people, with a lot of different agendas, and to sit at the end of the barrel, as she did

well that is not an easy place to be

I know what it is like to have people tugging on you, looking for answers, never really leaving you alone . . . and my world was 1/1000 th of hers

all those eyeballs and broken hearts pointed her way, well (trust me) there is an emotional price tag that goes with all that

I am sad that she has passed and I hope people think of her and remember all the good things she did 

because her death is significant, just as her life was significant

those who say such vile things about her now -- and I have read some of them -- are being (I believe) unfair to her memory

not to mention they are acting in a manner truly devoid of civility or dignity . . . but, I guess, we could just say "Welcome to the 21st Century" 

no one gets to the place she was -- and STAYS THERE . . . without some really special magical gifts

and another pet peeve -- advertising your "services" on a post about her death is the tackiest of the tacky . . . such lack of class is truly disturbing to me but "Psychic World" is filled with fun rides and drunken carnies and is bound, at some point, to break your heart

soooo, once again -- a psychic tip of the hat from me to you, Sylvia Browne

respect is something that has to be earned and no matter any of our flaws, yours mine and everyone else, I believe you deserve some serious respect

*********************

as the expectations of what you're "supposed to do" go UP

the dynamics of how you "do it" are bound to change

it is not easy to do what "we do" on a big stage -- the speed at which you have to work is daunting in the beginning, not to mention any second thoughts you might have regarding your own "ability" to perform

before you go pointing fingers at others, please consider the path they may have walked

I was not a Sylvia Browne "fan" and there is a reason I say things are my "opinion" and not divinely inspired . . . plus I always make a point of letting people know just because I say it, doesn't mean I know "absolutely"

it is what I believe and I have a strong "faith" in my talents -- but I am human and that is just how it goes

all that being said, I find it very disconcerting to read what I am reading about poor Sylvia Browne . . . she has passed on and everything she's done (good AND bad) is being played out on a very public stage

how would the rest of us feel in this same situation; are any of us always right, always at our best

and immune to the pressures that go not only with being "psychic" but also being on TV

I have been a psychic on national TV and been an actor in films and am relatively at ease with it all -- but that is me

not everyone is equally comfortable and the pressure to "perform", truly, is immense

dignity, please -- let us allow this woman, who did so much for all of us in this "profession", because honestly she did, some peace in the world beyond

At the beginning of the year, I said Gold would drop, a lot !! -- and the DOW would reach 16,000 by the end of the year

since it was around 13,400 at the time, this didn't appear (to most) as being all that likely

needless to say (but, of course, I am saying it anyway !!) today uncharted territory in the stock market, for the first time ever the Dow surpassed 16,000

Most people assume that consciousness is "within us" (ie -- in our mind/head) and, as a result, assume anything you "know" had to, first, be put IN to your head

this would, logically, preclude an acceptance or understanding of how things like ESP or psychic ability would/could work

so, by corrollary, all "past life" visions are imaginary or old movies you saw when you were 12

they couldn't exist if you hadn't "inserted it" ALREADY INTO THE MIND

but I believe that consciousness is "non-local" -- ie outside our minds . . . in something very similar to a giant data grid that some of us, due to our access code/security clearance whatever, can "tap into"

the "Hollywood - English Dictionary" is a special language, one not everyone speaks

as a psychic, this hidden language is filled with pitfalls galore and NO one who has done any significant work on television is immune from its special requirements

for Sylvia Browne, who sadly passed away earlier today, she had a lot of uncharted territory to cross and probably not a lot of places to look for how, best, to get there

so personally, I can kind of "get" what may have been happening -- also, she was "stuck" with being the lightning rod, good and bad, for all the silliness and falsehoods that attach "to" those of us who try, in our own ways, to bring some integrity and dignity to a profession that is seen, by far too many, as rolling in the mud

I didn't always agree with how she chose to appear but pressure is a constant in this field and the glare of the media spotlight only revs that pressure up 10-100 fold

let us give her props for being able to change the landscape for those of us who followed . . . a tip of the psychic cap Sylvia from me to you

As many of you may have heard already, Sylvia Browne passed away this morning. She was 77 years old

Some will say good things, others not so good -- but this was THE most famous psychic in the world and no one gets to be at the top of the heap at anything without having something very significant going for them

I am truly sorry for all those who knew and loved her -- I especially want to say a special word of sympathy for my friend RevMelanie E. Tharnish, who was a close friend of Sylvia's and is certain to be grieving

All of us in this mad "Psychic World", hopefully, will hold a special place this evening for Sylvia and wish her love -- and respect

for the work she has done and the lives she has touched 

she will be missed and will be a much harder act to follow than many of you may realize

Sometimes people may assume if they are having "issues" with someone this is a byproduct of something labeled (erroneously, I believe) as "karmic debt"

in English, this person is a goofwad and makes my life HELL, so I must have burnt them alive in the 12th Century 

I don't think that "assumption" is necessarily always true -- or ever true

because implicitly within that idea is the assumption of an "eye for an eye" causal relationship between past "actions" and current "re-actions"

when the truth is more likely that the situation in which you may find yourself is not grounded in "karmic debt" but instead really an opportunity for growth that is "hidden" within adversity

you don't "owe" something as much as you have "contracted" for a certain "type" of experience . . . by seeing adversity or conflict in this way, it is easier to "accept the lesson" and grow and, also, "move on"

we learn when we learn and not a moment before . . . everything in the "physical world" is an opportunity for growth and a chance to see ourselves through new eyeballs -- the true "purpose", I believe, of our earthly journey
