I get lots of questions from people about some of the stuff on my site and about myself. Here are the answers to some of the questions I have been asked and comments made about my page. 11/22/98 I got a new question! Sue wrote and asked if IT was beginning? I could play dumb and ask what IT is... But I already know what she was asking. Sue read a post I put on a Bulletin Board about the changing weather. She wants to know if the end of the world is coming soon. *WEG* My answer is I hope not. But I do think it is changing faster than we can keep up. One of the most common questions I get is asking if I am a professional psychic! I have to chuckle at this one. The answer is no. I am not a trained professional psychic, everything I know I have taught myself over the last 15 years, or rather since I was 12. Much of it I didn't even realize I was training myself for. I just liked to read about weird stuff because I could relate to some of the experiences such as Deja Vue. Now, if you ask me if I am a psychic I will most definitely say yes ,I am psychic. But the problem is that my psychic abilities for the most part serve only to keep myself out of trouble. That is where the Tarot Cards have come in to play for me. So far, the cards have been the only way I have found to use my abilities for anyone else. And sometimes that doesn't even work. But when it does, it works well. This leads up to another interesting question I get a lot. Do you read cards professionaly? Again the answer is no, I do not. I could if I wanted to I guess, but for now it is more of a hobby. The main reason I have not tried to go pro is that cards take much devotion and a lot of people just view them as a novelty. They are looking for a fortune teller and I could do that but that doesn't serve the purpose that I think cards should be used for. I have a very deep respect for Tarot, and although I do not mind giving the occasional reading, for me the cards serve more to teach lessons so that I don't have to learn them the hard way..there is much in cards that is hidden under the surface. Again, I get lots of questions about the cards. I love the questions! What kind of spreads do I use? This is a question I get asked a lot to. Some might not agree with this but I only use one spread in readings for other people, and that is the Celtic Cross. It works so well that in the 4 or so years that I have been reading, I haven't had to use any others. Another thing I get that kind of bothers me is people that want to test how good I am. When people are honest with me and don't lie when they give me information, it makes it much easier to do a good reading. I get people that lie and then get the reading and say it was crap or no good. Well, if you withhold information that could effect a reading, your gonna get a mis-interpitaion of the cards. When I read cards, I don't go into a trance or have visions..I simply read what the cards put out as a story. I don't put my own thoughts in unless I see something that I think I should point out. Cards are strange after you work with them for a while, and sometimes it can be hard to read and other times the meaning is crystal clear. Much of this depends on me though. Some days I am dead on and other days I am way off...I found that most of the time I am dead on though. I am still at a loss as to why I am so good for one person and not for another. That baffles me. A question I am asking myself. Do you have to have "the gift" of reading cards to be realy good at them? My honest answer is yes. Anyone can learn Tarot, but to be realy good with them does take a gift of the psychic kind. I am lucky in this respect because I have the gift, or so I have been told by several I have read for. I, myself think that anyone who can learn to trigger thier own psychic self can use Tarot effectivly. So I think we all have "the gift" but it depends on your willingness to learn how to trigger it. But then maybe I am wrong. I honestly don't know for sure. I am psychic and have been ever since I can remember, but I didn't know it until I seriously looked into it. But I am willing to bet that anyone who learns Tarot and also learns how to trigger the psychic part of thier brain can do it very well. Does E.S.P. and the psychic experience have to do with God and religion? From a mental point? No. You don't have to change or modify your belief system in order to learn most psychic abilities. I will say however that you may find on your own that somewhere deep inside you, that these things are indeed connected in some weird way. More because once you start becoming aware of your potential and the power of your mind, your perception of the world will change. As to the connection, I haven't figured it out yet, but there is a connection or fine line between spirit and psychic. But ultamitly, no, you can be an athiest and still be psychic. (I bet you won't stay Athiest for long though!) Why should anyone learn psychic abilities? A very good question I was asked!. The reason is simple! Wouldn't you like to know that something was going to go wrong so that you could change it? If you were going to get into a car and all of a sudden you knew you were going to die if you got in...wouldn't you want to avoid it? I also get a lot of questions and comments about my aura page! Can I see colors in auras? The answer is yes and no. As I explained on the page itself, I do see some colors some times. But as to what the colors mean, I have not the foggiest idea. I could go off and read a book about it I suppose and I have actually read several in trying to figure it all out, but is seems to me that although I managed to confirm for myself that I can indeed see this energy, all the books get into chakras and layers...I don't see or sense those..so I can not say that they are real...the chakra idea is kind of far fetched for me. So I tend to ignore it and not nessicarily disregard it but I am weary of books that talk about it and I take the information less seriously if I can not experience it myself. SO as to colors, Yes, I do see some colors sometimes, but not often. Usually its just an outline around someone or something to me. Here is a question I have asked myself several times about my own page. Why? The answer to this is quite simple. I am searching. I am searching to understand all of what I cover on my site. I do not understand much of it and I feel that is important for you to understand too. I often question why I can see auras or why I have dreams regarding my own future, why I get visions every once and a while...etc...I have had so many experiences that I did not try to have that I am driven to find out why these things happen to me. I feel that I have a mission to do, I just don't know what. Perhaps this page is part of it. I get a lot of satisfaction in knowing that people that come to my site find something of use to them. I want to share some of my experiences with people for two reasons, one, they might be able to help me find my own answers, two, I might be able to help them find their own answers. That is the real reason behind this web site. Why do you have games on your site? Can't you have two sites and devote one to the psychic stuff and the other to your own stuff? This was kind of a funny question! The reason all of this is mixed up on my page is because this is a personal web site. I have no mission here other than to share myself. Games happen to be my favorite hobby! Even people who get into psychic and religious philosophy like to play! Here is a cool question I also get a lot. Can I link to your site? Of course you can! And you can take anything you find here too! Everything was free and found on the web. As far as I know, none of it is copy writed as far as graphics. Now, the content as far as writing goes, that's different. All written content is mine. I wrote all of it so you can not swipe a poem or my biography or any other written content without my permission! Another comment that has been thrown at me is this one: You are messing with evil forces! Hahahaha.. Am not! I really don't like this comment at all. Let me be totally clear on this, what I am experiencing for the most part is mind generated, not spiritual. I have had some very powerful spiritual experiences, but as far as I am concerned, auras, Tarot, and E.S.P. in general is mind related! It has taken me years of practice and study to be where I am now. I do not draw on outside forces for card reading or aura gazing or lucid dreaming or Zener card experiments or telepathy experiments..etc..these are all things that from what I have experienced are of the human mind and we are all capable of learning. It just takes an open mind and a lot of practice. I get religious questions too! What religion am I? Well, this is actually a very hard question for me to answer. My roots are Christian, and I do believe in God, or better yet, I know God is real. It is not a belief for me, it is a reality. The problem is that the way Christianity stands as it is now, I can not follow it. I guess I see a universal God and not one that limits peoples potential.IE: One God, many paths. These are just my opinions though. Another thing I get questions on is my angelic encounter. How do I know it wasn't Satan? Hahahaha...Notice I laugh at the questions about evil? Well, first of all, when you have an encounter like I had, it leaves no doubt or question. You know if it was from God. There is no questioning it. That and I don't believe in a horned devil. I do however believe in spirits with evil intentions. Did I learn anything from my encounter and did it effect my life? You bet I did and yes, my life changed drastically afterwards! No longer was I questioning God being real. I was lucky enough to be shown that there is a higher power and it is full of love and light. Although at the time that this happened I got so scared that I backed out of all religion together, it effected me deeply and drastically. I know now that I am being watched and cared for. I know now that God does love me and that God also gets angry. But the difference between the anger I felt and the anger the mainstream church preaches is that I did not feel like I was doomed but I was forgiven and all would work out like it should in the end. And that no matter what I chose, God would love me, just not be happy with me. As to its long term effects, it has given me a much more open mind to the possibilities and wonder of living. I have what I like to call undestroyable faith, I know that if I pray or ask for help, I will get it if I truly need it and it is in my best interest. I also have faith that if I do ever upset God again, God will let me know. Here is an interesting question: Why is it important to have a "God"? I struggled with answering this question. My opinion is that having a higher power in your life enriches your experience and gives you something to think about. If it does not seem important to you and you have not had any thoughts or searched inside yourself for any answers, then for you, it may not be important. I however, have been forced to think about it so to speak. All of these experiences that I have had make me want to know more. Because I know for myself that "God " is real, I want to know what God wants me to do. I get a lot of "Read the Bible" stuff from people. And I do read every once and a while, but I have a hard time with much of the bible because of slight changes that I am sure have been made over the years...you don't have to believe me..and I am not putting down the bible, it is full of wisdom, but since I do not know what has been changed and what has not, I prefer to go directly to God and not to a book. Am I anti-christian? Any religion that does not fit with the basic laws of Christianity is based on Satan or false beliefs from the churches point of view. Any religion that speaks of other Gods is false according to Christianity as it stands now. Let me make this clear, I believe in the same God as the Christian churches do, however I believe that God goes by several different names including God/Goddess/Buddah/Yawee/etc. I am trying very hard not to slam Christianity, but here I have to say this and get it off my chest. It seems to me that the mainstream churches these days are becoming more and more corrupt. There are child molesters, maniacs, and all sorts of weird things happening to the mainstream churches, and I believe that God is allowing this to happen to show them that they have lost their way. The essence of God is still there but it seems that God has withdrawn for the most part, from the church and is going to the individual...Christianity is evolving and parts of it are going to die. I hope that someday the Church will make it back to God, but they seem to be bogged down in limiting and setting rules on what an individual should or should not do. I have questions about certain things that mainstream Christianity and many other religions for that matter. Therefore, I have chosen to walk alone with God, so far, God seems ok with this so I will continue to be this way until God tells me otherwise. -Back to Babble- If you have a question or comment,please don't hesitate to ask!
