it is good to respect the "psychics" who have come before us . . . we are part of a long and vital "tradition"

all the more important since throughout history people have attempted to shut down what we "came to say"

being a professional psychic is "complicated" -- not so much in what we do, but (rather) how we "talk about what we do"

shunned by the masses, demonized or ostracized (or sometimes even worse); we have lots of h8ters

so it is critical we find love within -- for ourselves and for those of our brothers and sisters who bring "psychic light" to a world so quick to try and unplug "the cord"

we bring magic

you bring magic

all those who have come before -- we a part of that "tradition"
​
and that's a good thing in which to be a part !!!

after my daughter's stillbirth I went through a period in which I was angry at everything, most especially myself

and as a fairly analytical guy, I could easily find lots of things about which to be angry -- this happened in 2006 so the housing crisis and economic breakdowns were still to come

I was a 9/11 "truth" expert on radio 10 years ago and wrote a book outlining why the economy was going to crash and why the world (and those who run it) was not to be "trusted"

this consumed me and luckily just missed killing me and much as I wanted to find a silver unicorn in every cloud, my anger was overwhelming

it took me a long long time to let it go and, now, I see how debilitating that anger was for me

not that there aren't legitimate reasons to be a little "annoyed" . . . but my hatred of all that was happening became a fire out of control

I had to unplug it and find a middle ground, somehow someway

I get why people are upset . . . I understand the frustrations many of you must feel with the world and the economic and political morass you see blaring back at you every day

but somewhere in this madhouse you must find a silver lining, for your own sake

not everyone is bad, not everything is evil

find some good and allow that goodness to wash over you
​
the anger will kill you . . . and it is simply (simply put) "just not worth it"

buildings have "personalities", energies, memories . . . the energy of those who loved (or hated) within their walls still "attaches itself" to the place, centuries or millennia after the lovers and h8ters have "left"

I don't mean this so much in the paranormal EVP kind of way, so much as the "muse at midnight" sort of energy that comes with looking at the "remains"

history piles layer upon layer and just as the cheese doritos eventually leave a mark on your body so, too, do the emotions leave a mark on the "place"

to me, there is NOTHING more interesting than exploring old places; again not in the "paranormal research way" (as this is not exactly what I do, although I've been interviewed about it dozens of times)
​
but just because . . . if you listen, it has things "to say" :)

when I was the young, confused, eager to learn psychic apprentice, there were plenty of people who stepped up to help and encourage me

I remember that fondly from all those many years past . . . the young ones of today don't know all (did WE ?? -- even now ??)

. . . and to see them and say "you're doing good, here is something I learned, maybe this will help") is part of the grand cycle

it is a beautiful progression; I know "stuff" now in large part because people (whether they spoke to me directly or wrote a book I could later read) took the time to help me along the way

none of us "knows all"; I am not too old or "big" to continually learn from others or not to be excited by the prospect of that every single day
​
be kind to those who follow because we wouldn't be wherever we are now without someone having once done that for us

If I am Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist whatever I can still love my child just the same

If I live in Oregon or Georgia, Israel or Palestine, Mexico, Canada or Afghanistan . . . in all these places, people love their children just the same

want good things for them just the same

take a bunch of 3 year olds to Playland in McDonalds and see if they care what color you are, who your father is, or what book you hold sacred

we learn discrimination because, for sure, 3 year olds don't express it

they may not like you -- but that's because you are a goof ball, not because you're Jewish or from Philadelphia or Kashmir
​
none of that makes ANY difference

past lives have hidden nuggets . . . one of the biggest being knowing which "situations" in the past have been ones in which you've felt comfortable, as these provide clues as to "personality traits" you can use today to help you excel in "comparable situations"

past life "awareness" can be incredibly empowering . . . who you "are" is how you end up

knowing that sooner than later gives you additional time (and energy) to "get there"

and help you put that awareness to good use (without so much "baggage" weighing you down)

since you will know so much more about what "God gave YOU (specifically)"

sometimes we may struggle with "recognition" -- I do all this, nobody cares, no one pays attention, I don't make any money, etc etc

my "theory" is that if you stay the course, keep doing your work and care about what you do and how you do it, as an artist of any kind (and I count myself as being in this group) you will (ultimately) find your way; if fame comes, great

if not, you must have gotten something positive out of devoting yourself to a craft that you hung in there with, even if it sometimes may have seemed pointless

artists march to their own beat; we can't help it
​
but that beat is unique and magical and you just have to dance to your tune and if it is "a hit" fantastic, if not, you did something you loved, nonetheless

Depression is "real". I have had an amazing, adventurous life, a life that makes "bad fiction"

peak experiences galore, both mystical and romantic. I've been the best looking boy in the room, had incredible nights of glamour and love

yet I've also crashed like a '84 Yugo dropped unceremoniously off the cliff; unable to "get it together"

confused, suicidal . . . "dark"

we live, I think, in kind of a dark time; just know that when the sky is black (even though at the time it may be small consolation)

that the sun will shine again

Depression ain't fun and for many of us it's a runaway freight not fully within our "control"

I do better, lots better, now -- partly this is a function of age, of "surviving"

a big part of it, too, is likely diet; less sugar less crazy

for those who hurt, I feel ya . . . my "power" as a psychic, such as it is

was paid for in advance with pain

lots and lots and LOTS of pain

I feel ya; just know, as I know, that even when it is dark dark dark
​
that the sun will (eventually) shine again

the United States is exhibiting signs, collectively, of being somewhat PTSD (Post Traumatic). This is not just as a result of the election, although that certainly plays into it

but more tellingly, it is a collective angst that whatever seems "real" may not BE real . . . trust is the foundation, in many respects, of love

and people are no longer so trusting . . . on an "etheric level" what I see is a general malaise . . . normally, this would translate into "dis ease" / disease

when people are stressed, their bodies break down

it is therefore VITALLY important that we all (as best we can) make it a point to choose healthy lifestyles and eliminate as much "unnecessary" drama and confusion as possible

the world is sort of on TILT; it is up to us to bring ourselves, on an individual level, back into balance

we can do this . . . but we're not likely to get a lot of "help"

however, no matter how whacked the world may seem, you can navigate through it all with some simple steps

(1) try not to be "reactive"; make it a point to stay as calm as possible, (2) be overtly kind to others as often as you "can", and (3) try to exercise and get enough sleep

I make my predictions on things like the economy (and even earthquakes) based on my "sense" of the "collective emotional body"

as emotions more than all other factors drive behavior

and collective behavior sets the "tone" for what comes next

stay chill, be polite, ride a bike, walk the dogs, take a nap

include others in your plans, make it a point to not be alone, if possible

and "spread the love" as the current political climate may make many feel "unloved" and "undervalued"

I think this is understandable based on even a high-level rhetorical analysis of "the news" and collective "action(s)"
we can get through this; honest
​
do these things and you will "escape" largely unscathed in the collective madness almost sure to come

the difference between a "prediction and an opinion"

to anyone who would ask me, I said "Trump would win, something would happen at the very end that negatively impacted Mrs. Clinton, and the final results would not be final come election day"

I made the choice (a wise choice, too -- as saying this out loud too often would do nothing for me but cause others to attack me as being "negative" -- trust me, I have been down this "road" before)

NOT to post this . . . as I knew it would not go "over well"

and seemed, logically, a bit of a long shot -- even though it was what I expected to happen !! . . . plus 99 % of the people I respected as fellow psychics all seemed to be saying "Hillary wins"

and even outlaw as much as I may be, seeing everyone over and over saying the exact opposite of what you think may give you "pause" a bit

Allie Cheslick and I talked about this a lot -- she said the same things and I have learned to trust her opinion over the years

anyway

the first two (surprise to most) happened and it appeared as if # 3 did not

but with the "recount", prediction # 3 is also "coming true"

those were "predictions"

but now on to "opinions" which are quite often in total contravention of what I "predict" as I most certainly did not want negative things to happen with the United States economy nor, of course, do I want there to be major earthquakes 3 or 4 times a week !!

so -- my "opinion"

even though I expected this "recount" (in some form) to "happen", I personally think it is counterproductive and only blasts an even bigger hole

in the collective emotional body

I would never have voted for Trump but didn't want to vote for Mrs. Clinton either

Trump won, well what can you do other than try to be a good person and make individual choices that are reflective of a kind heart and a balanced approach to life

eat well, make love, have some fun, be kind, go on however you can as best you can

I predicted certain things as I "expected them" to happen, whether I agreed with them or not
​
but my opinion is this recount now is a waste of time and will likely cause more pain that pleasure
