STROKES

Tuesday 22 September 2009

    Have you ever tried to explain something to a person who has different points of reference?
    If a person's mother tongue is not English, and he/she is just learning English... there can be problems in communication and understanding.
    A joke that is very funny in English, may not be to another person with a different mother tongue. It seems that they sometimes have to translate the English into their mother tongue, and strive to understand. They often do not perceive the humor.
    The other day as I was walking by a store window, I noticed the lower legs of a woman standing on a chair near the window hanging up garments. When she stepped down to floor level I knocked on the window and got her attention. I pointed to her lower legs which were very attractive, and gave her the okay sign. She understood and smiled. And I left. Made her day.
    A lady barber, a mother of two children, told me that no one could tell her how to raise her children. She was very strong in her belief. I think the morals of society did not serve as guides to her. And for some parents, not her, children can be raised to be active criminals!
    I met one woman who was offended when I spoke of Santa Klaus to her children. She informed me that she did not teach her children fairy stories. And so on. She also had a problem with belief in a supreme being (GOD).
    And when the subject is spiritual - religious... different people who claim to be Christians have very hostile opinions against the opinions of other Christians of somewhat different belief systems!
    The same thing seems to apply to many people in the world's largest religions. For example one group seems to have this belief: "Believe as we do, or support us, or die!" Ouch.
    As for myself I have very strong spiritual beliefs based on my research and experience with the spiritual supernatural. I know and can do things that the average person can not do. And as a result others sometimes find it very difficult to understand me and what I say to them about the spiritual and paranormal things.
    Even at psychic fairs there are many different kinds of "psychics" with a wide variety of spiritual gifts. Some do their thing by the numbers. Others are under guidance from spirit guides, angels, etc. And there are those who can relate highly to me, and those that can not. And those that can not often will seek those with the lesser skills of spiritual guidance.
    One of the organizers of huge psychic fairs would come to me each fair for guidance from my guides. He said my communications to him were 98% accurate. And that many did not understand the value of a valid reading. He said that what I told him was like the other half of something that he already knew. And that with the information that I shared, he was able to make valid decisions.
    I often wear a straw hat with beautiful colored feathers attached. I get many smiles, and often comments from people. I would estimate on the statistical normal curve that most comments are above the average in positive comments. And I would estimate about 1 out of 100 have negative comments made about my hat. And with those who have the negative comments I often sense darkness about them which is negative spirit possession.
    And from time to time I have encountered other Christians of different strong person beliefs that are very hostile and border on insanity. Shame on them. None of the beliefs of organized religion are perfect. All have some good, and some bad in them. Angels of GOD have told me this. But you already knew?
    The aura around humans varies in intensity. One Monday I was in an office and the secretary told me she thought she was going crazy as she could see light about me. I explained that I had been doing GOD's work for several days intensively, and that spiritual work increased the intensity of my aura. From time to time I explain to people who can normally see auras that I can change mine. So I demonstrate and prove the claim.
    So at psychic fairs there is a wide range of "readers" with different abilities. And so "different strokes for different folks" seems very logical. That is a visitor might find that a particular reader can right for her/him. So be it.
    For those who want to explore and develop their spirituality, I suggest waking at 4 am and for 20 minutes pray and meditate. For me prayer is when we talk to GOD. And meditation is when we clear our mind so we may perceive GOD communicating with us. It takes practice, and time.
    There is a true saying that goes "If you will search for the Lord thy GOD with all thy heart and all thy soul, you will find HIM." How true.
    Peace and love.
