Writings: It’s nice to have each other….
Some days we have dying on the brain, don’t we?
Maybe we have a friend or cousin or grandma who is nearing their time of transition, and we get to hang out with them.
Sometimes we’re surprised, with a car wreck, or a heart attack, or “the news” that we’re gonna die.
Sometimes we don’t need the reminder, and we take time to give dying the sense of wonder it calls for.
But at the end of the day, no matter where we or our friends are, on the path, it’s helpful to remind ourselves that we’re not alone. And – one of the beautiful things about being in this physical world is that we get to walk with each other towards home. And to walk each other home.
Doesn’t really matter who gets there first, or second.
Happy trails!
Love ya,
Brother Ian, with thanks to Ram Dass
Intuitives: Checking in with those who have passed….
You already know I’m in the process of studying & learning more about how things work with things of the spirit, and it was amazing share in an evening of gifted medium Diana Lynn (http://www.diana-lynn.com/) last spring.
She describes what a reading is like:
For me, the communication process of psychic mediumship is a bridge between two worlds that allow us to connect with our loved ones who have crossed over, helping to bring us closure, resolve unsaid issues and allows us to heal.
In your reading I will be connecting to those who have passed and those that are able to come through in your session. Remember, the messages that come through are usually what we need to hear. They may not be what you have come to hear, but there is always a reason for the messages that come through.
I had had a reading with Diana at the Intuitive Fair back in March, and during the session we were able to connect with a couple of my relatives, which was timely – I had some questions that needed dealing with, with them! Part of the experience is the way (for me) she puts people at ease about this most natural of things. When she talks about healing folks, I think that’s a key part.
She had a little video made that I think is a good introduction to what it’s all like – check it out & see what you think.
And, as always, thank you for accompanying me on my path of exploration & discovery.
Peace surround you –
Brother Ian
Thoughts: And then, it’s over…
This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Álvaro Múnera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer – because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven.
“I felt like the worst shit on earth.”
– from Paulo Saraiva
