The Presence of Spirit – Final Words

There are a few things that you need to know about the presence of Spirit in our lives. Unless we are destined to win the lottery, it will never happen. You would not believe how many people ask for that. Instead of asking for lottery winnings, ask for the money you need to run your business or for you to do your work for Spirit. They will not give you more than you need until you have learned your lessons.

For instance, although I was doing well financially after Maitreya’s presence in my life, it was not until I had passed my graduation by doing what I did at the UN in New York that I was given the money to open my first big center as well as the people I needed to help me run it. You have to give them something first before they will give to you. You cannot expect to have it handed to you on a plate immediately. In my case I had to show them that I would work morning, noon, and night, and even travel in the middle of the night if need be. I had to let go of an enormous amount of fear and show them that I was ready to do it their way, not mine.

You also need to know to ask for what you need, the word need being the correct word, not want. Usually by the time Spirit gives you what you have always wanted, you no longer want it the way you needed it. In my case again, I had wanted money and esteem to, basically, show people that I was worthy, because I never felt worthy. But when I did get what I always wanted, it meant nothing to me because the need for esteem had left me long before I got the money.

So in closing, do know that, if you work with Spirit, they are always with you. Never doubt it, and also note that they are so grateful for what you are doing for them. Just do not expect too much in the beginning!

The Grindstone

How many of you push the grindstone every day? By this I mean, how many of you go to your place of work and are thoroughly miserable at what you do? If this is you then you need to step out of fear and into your dreams. So many of you have dreams but do not believe that you can fulfill those dreams. Yet you can. You are capable with the right thought of being able to manifest all that you desire and more! You do this by eliminating fear – the fear of not having a job, the fear of not having enough money. There are so many fears yet, once they are removed, the barrier to manifesting comes tumbling down.

There are those who have been on the grindstone for decades, pushing the stone every day, hating each and every moment of it, fearing change, fearing unemployment, fearing poverty, fearing so many things. Yet the Universe will provide all that you ask for – but you have to ask! There are those of you who ask and then in the next breath say, “Oh, but that will never come my way,” or “I do not deserve that,” or “I am not worthy of such a thing.” While you do this, you will stay pushing the grindstone, and each year it becomes heavier and heavier.

Try to stand outside the stone. Ask yourself, “What would I like to do if I could do it?” Then start manifesting that reality. It may take some earth time, but you will get there if you keep on being positive, not allowing anything negative to break up what you have created.

Get off the grindstone. Get a life!

Just Stuff 2 – Final Chapter

So, are you one of those people who thinks it should be free, or are you one of those who feel a laborer is worthy of their hire? Yes, there are some people out there who should not be charging or accepting a fee, but unless you have some karma or something to learn from them, they will probably not come into your energy.

As soon as I started to live comfortably metaphysically I began putting back spiritually. That is how I came to be able to do what I have done. My past partners have not always shared my vision or wanted to help me, but I have done it anyway, with or without their help. My present husband shares my vision and my dreams and has also shared his abundance. I get e-mails every day from people who write that they cannot afford my services but will pay one day or in the near future. In the beginning I could not refuse but now I do. I have to. If I did not I would be inundated with work with no exchange for the energy. As Maitreya has said; “A laborer is worthy of his/her hire.”

If we give a service – no matter what it is – we are entitled to be compensated. It is the law of the Universe unless it is your karma to have it or do it for nothing. How do you know if this is so? It is ingrained so deeply in your heart, without fear and with a “knowing.” It happens very little, but when it does, one does know. I do know one thing, I can return to Spirit knowing without any doubts I have done what I came to do and helped many souls on the earth plane. It is a good feeling, knowing I did it. Despite my fears and doubts, I was able to create a healing center and help many souls along the way. It is a relief to know that. I am also glad I put a worth on myself – so very glad.

Just Stuff 2 – Continued

When I first began doing metaphysical work I was frightened – as I have said before in blogs – of putting a worth on myself and have not charged for services, because I, myself, did not feel worthy. It is for this reason people have the deep subconscious belief they do about charging for their services. I honestly believe that if you do not have confidence in yourself and speak your price with confidence, it makes your clients feel unsure.

People can have no idea of the amount of energy a medium/healer uses in their work. It is enormous. Often after seeing a client and helping them, I can end up crying for hours. They go away feeling wonderful because I have lifted all their sadness and fear out of them and have to clear it. However, if they cannot retain the positive energy they have just experienced, they too, can go backwards and this happens a lot. I like to think – when I am feeling really off after working – at least I got paid for it, and this is what I do for my living!

The only way I will divert from my issue of accepting payment of services is when the staff at our center is involved. They have received hundreds of hours of counseling, talks with Maitreya and Sister – another energy I channel – because Maitreya said it was to be so. Alan is another one who gets lots of help and does not pay. My staff though always find a way to pay if only in kind. One couple bring me organic produce from their garden, another does jobs for me like going to the bank and cooking special meals for us. If you are one of those who questions whether you should pay for a metaphysical service, think about the one who is charging. How do they live, put food on the table, pay their accounts and buy clothes, support their families if they do not charge a fee?
