Dreams, Characters in Spirit, and Writing

Created in Canva by Pauline

It’s early morning yet. I awakened more than an hour earlier than I normally do and decided to start my day that much earlier. I’d awakened from a disturbing dream, a cat I was trying to save, and a husband who had reorganized the house so I could not find what I needed to tend to our cat.  There were also a couple of legal matters that needed attending to. It wasn’t the best of dreams.  My arm was aching from how I’d lain on it, and my mouth was full of cotton wool. It just wasn’t an inviting thought to go back to bed.

I’d done the usual stuff, like feeding my cats breakfast. Even though it was still dark outside, they were happy to have it. It’s amazing that you can still hear a cat’s pleasure even through their silence as they attended a two-course meal in their respective bowls.

I took care of the other stuff: setting out our medicines and vitamins for the day, then brewing myself a nice cup of coffee with chocolate dairy creamer. The world was perfect. I settled down with a new book. It’s actually the second volume of a new series about FBI agents in Washington, D.C.

The main character, Tara, has been wrestling with some emotional stuff and intends to visit her father, whom she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl. The first book (and yes, it’s better when you read them in order) is “One Last Step” by Sarah Sutton. If you have a Kindle or a Kindle app on your phone or computer, the book is free. The one I’m reading now is the second book in the series, “One Last Breath”.

At one point, the mother-in-law, who is nosier than anything, butts in again. Tara says something about her mother-in-law not having any boundaries. To my way of thinking, Tara doesn’t have any boundaries; otherwise, the MIL wouldn’t cross them. It would be more accurate to say the MIL doesn’t respect boundaries.  At least, that’s what I think.

With that on my mind, I spoke to my would-be character in Spirit, Claire. I asked her what she thought. She said something that surprised me. She said that the meany in the story need not be a mother-in-law. That’s when I realized I hadn’t made an appointment to talk to her, and I felt it was both an important thing to mention about Spirit, but also to announce her presence in my literary life.

So, the purpose of this story is that you don’t need to wait for an appropriate time to talk with Spirit, you also don’t need to make an appointment. When I was younger, I thought the only time God would listen to me was in church. I had to grow up enough to realize that Spirit, or God, is everywhere and will listen anytime you want to talk.

If you’re lucky enough to be a psychic channel, then it’s easy enough for you to have a conversation.

The thought of being able to converse with Spirit comes in handy when you are grieving the loss of a loved one. You don’t have to say, “I wish I had said I love you.”  Say it after they have passed. In fact, you don’t need to be standing in the cemetery to say it. Say it while you are brushing your teeth or doing the dishes.

When I was a newbie psychic channel, it took me a long time to get into the zone. I’d need to make sure the light was right, the phone was off, and the music was appropriate. I’d make sure my stones were handy. I especially liked the moldavite and rutilated quartz, both stones recommended for connecting with Spirit. Sometimes, I burned sage. I’d do whatever it was that others recommended to get into a good channeling space, to make my surroundings the best possible for communication with Spirit could be.

I don’t do that anymore. I don’t need to. Once that door is open, going through it each time gets easier. I realize that other psychics will caution people that they need to be grounded and their aura clear, but I’m okay not doing it. Of course, I’ve been channeling since 1993, so it's been a while.

The one thing I caution is that the person doing the channeling is not schizophrenic or under a doctor’s care for a mental issue. I also make them promise they will attend to whatever mental upset comes their way by being open to going to psychotherapy.

Channeling is not for the faint of heart, because issues will arise that you would usually take 25 years to solve. When you are channeling? No, you are on the fast track now to clear all that stuff up. Why else to channel? Because you are going to be of service to others. To do that effectively, you need to be mentally clear.

In any case, that is my public service announcement for the morning. Anyone can channel. We are born that way. As we grow, we typically grow into the people around us. If you are lucky enough to have somebody close who is psychic, you might be prepared for it to happen to you. I have a feeling that most people don’t. I’m still getting friction from people I know. But that’s okay. It doesn’t affect who I am.

So, no appointment needed. An unseen bonus is that you can talk to your literary characters if you want to. Someday, I might get a book done with Gloria and some as-yet-unnamed male character who constantly reincarnate together through the ages. It sounds exciting to me and will be my second stab at a piece of fiction, but incorporating many of the things I learned once I became a psychic channel.

Hey, thanks for reading. For your convenience or curiosity, I’ve listed some other places where I’m active on the internet.

Love,
