This week’s video is something I think about a lot when it comes to spiritual work. In the olden days, we were taught to look to the leaders of our churches and temples to guide us. They were the ultimate authority (below God). That’s not necessarily the case any longer.
If you are on the psychic and/or spiritual path, it’s more important than ever to be careful about choosing people to be authority figures. We live in a world that values power and loves power struggles. Sadly, the spiritual world is not always a place of refuge for all who seek it.
When you are feeling a need for hope and reassurance, psychic readings and spiritual quests with gurus, shamans, and spiritual teachers can feel like the soothing miracle balm you need. But when you begin to blindly follow someone, it can get dangerous. Although spiritual, some gurus have huge egos and do not have your concerns at heart. I am not talking about a particular person or people here. I’m just speaking to the importance of not making anyone an idol.
Same goes for psychic and energy healing work! Don’t put your readers and healers on a pedestal. They are only human! If you hear a negative prediction or don’t like what you’re being told by a reader or healer, remember to trust your own judgement and inner guidance.
The most valuable spiritual experiences are those in which your very SOUL resonates with what is happening and you know you are clicked in to your own inner truth. This is so important that I made an entire video program about it. It’s called “Psychic Development: How to Read People.” When you develop the skill of reading people’s motives, drives, and intentions, you can operate from a grounded sense of peace and calm. You trust your impressions. Having this skill is priceless.
Have you ever had a reading that was so not in resonance with who you are? And have you, or do you know anyone, who has been involved with a spiritual guru and later discovered there was a dark side that nobody saw? Let’s not name names – that’s not what this is about – but it would be interesting to hear.
Thanks so much for reaching and watching, and I’ll see you next time.
