The Path – Continued

I went from earning $250 a week to $2,000 a week within 6 months. Not only that, I loved New Zealand and, although I only went for a four and a half month working holiday, I stayed for 8 years and became a Kiwi – as New Zealand citizens are known. I became famous writing a magazine column for the most popular women’s magazine in the country and eventually also became a very successful radio clairvoyant. It was a win-win situation for me all around. However, try telling me that at the airport in Brisbane, Australia, as I sat waiting for the plane to take me to New Zealand and remembering what had happened the month before. I addition, all my friends tried to dissuade me from going with their negative comments and their fears for me.

I, of course, (whose Self did not want to go) took these comments on board and, to be honest, I almost cancelled the trip. It was my then-business partner (whom I later married) who basically forced us to go. My then-husband also forced me to go as he sold all of my belongings in a garage sale and then took all of the money out of the bank. I have said many times that I called and thanked him later on for doing that for me. He changed my life, and I would not be where I am today if he had not done what he did. It seemed terribly awful at the time. Why was this happening? But it was the best thing I had ever done and I had him to thank for it. He forced me to leave and begin the new life that has brought me here to where I am today! We often cannot see what the outcome will be, but in our minds it is always negative.

General Stuff 3 – Continued

I am a little faster than most people in recognizing when the Self is present. However, even now, after all these years with Maitreya, when I am tired I fall by the wayside and the Self has a field day. When Maitreya asked me to create a website for him, I was very lucky to be married to a man whose computer knowledge was quite extensive. The website was begun in 1997, and we used a gift of money we were given to start it. As we needed website fees in the beginning, a question from a viewer would come in to be answered and they would pay the account. The same happened for all other needs we required. We always tried to keep the cost down, but the amount of work that goes into answering a question is quite extensive and even more so these days.

The Masters know every soul on the earth plane. This is evident on the radio when I answer questions and people are shocked to find that I know things about them they do not even know themselves! They lead me to the astrological chart to find out about the person, and it never ceases to amaze me how accurate it can be if you have the right time of birth. If you do not, Maitreya can help me find it. With a quick scan of your chart, I know all about you. However, that “quick scan” can take up to 30 minutes. Then I meditate and connect with Maitreya to get further information, and he usually confirms what I get. Sometimes a $30 reading can take nearly an hour to get the answer. I often do not feel I get paid enough for that work, but I have always wanted to keep costs down for those who do have difficulty finding the money for a reading.

Changing The Thinking – Continued

Everything went quiet in my marriage after that, and did not resurface until many years later when I went into metaphysics. I was not as naive or frightened as I was after the radio station, and that time I walked away. My second husband once again was wonderful to begin with, but after a few years of marriage he began to make me feel inadequate with my computer. I literally have no left-brain function (being a right-brained individual and incredibly intuitive). If I had a left brain I know I would not be as intuitive as I am. As a child anything to do with electronics was taboo in our house for me. I was not allowed to use the stereo we had. My dad always knew if I had used it when he left the house for a while. I used to wonder how he knew and much later found out he would feel the stereo and if it was warm from being used; he knew it had been switched on.

My ex-husband’s comments about the computer, and the fear I allowed it to instill in me brought home once again the insecurity of childhood and the feeling of being “no good,” “stupid,” and other such words. I went right back into old mode. By now I was in my early fifties and still had the ingrained programming inside of me. I would step out of it for a while, and then some comment would put me right back down again. I honestly did not know what to do about the programming and then I read a book by Florence Scovel Shinn who wrote her books in the late 1890′s/1900′s. She created affirmations and they were in a book entitled The Game of Life and How to Play It. She also had two other very similar books, The Word is Your Wand and The Secret to Success.

Changing the Thinking

Contrary to what one may think, it is not easy changing one’s patterns of thinking. All of our lives we have been programmed to certain things, and changing that thinking is sometimes a difficult task. I was told by my father from the age of about 3 when I could talk and comprehend what I was listening to; “What’s the matter girl, are you stupid?” “You numbskull,” “You will never amount to anything,” and other expressions equally as bad. At least once a day I would hear a negative statement about myself. It led to my biting my nails as a child and to being a loner at school. Until I was 32 years old I had no confidence in myself whatsoever. It became worse as I got older because the constant daily insults just reiterated for me what was being said. My father, of course, took his frustration and anger out on me because he was not happy in his marriage and did not know how to deal with things other than to insult and degrade. However, it was not until my late forties that I finally realized how frustrated and angry he was.

I was lucky in that both of my previous husbands helped me to step out of the negative programming in the beginning of the marriage, but then later on when I became successful for some reason, they did exactly what my father did, insulting me and putting me back where I had come from. Of course, I allowed it, but then when one has been denigrated all of one’s life it is very hard to believe you are anything other than what you spent most of your early life being told.
