 The fundamental purpose of inter-consciousness/spirit energy communication is
development of a deeper understanding of truth and evolution. 
You don’t fit truth into your perception—truth expands your perception.

“A New Philosophy Is Falling Into Place”
 
According to Joe, a young man in his twenties who passed due to an issue around his neck/jaw area relating to arteries/blood clot, a new philosophy is falling into place.
 
Joe described himself a “legal talent” while on the earth plane specifically regarding liabilities.  Now on the spirit plane, Joe concentrates on blanketing the earth plane in security.
 
Joe is specifically concerned about his immediate family who needs to expand by being schooled in and learning the “new philosophy.”  This he indicated refers to evolving.  Through evolving into broader thinking, in opening themselves to higher learning and expansion of education, his family will find security.
 
Though Joe did not specify where, he stated that there is an “open” place available where his family can learn.  He described it as a place with an entrance that is very large; a place where true master teachers are.  It is there, through higher learning of what he refers to as the “new philosophy” that his family will discover true security.

“BUDDY,” THE CANINE CAREGIVER
 
A small, black/brown, male bulldog approached and made connection.  He indicated that he was extremely devoted to his (female) human whose legs and hands, to a lesser degree, were paralyzed confining her to a wheelchair.
 
Buddy connected to state that all canine caregivers require respite from their duties.  Buddy said that he absorbed into his body all the emotional and physical pain of his human.  According to Buddy, absorbing this pain can create depression in a dog just as it can to human caregivers.
 
Buddy said that companion/therapy dogs need pampering away from their duties.  Sleep is not enough.  They need an actual break from their human so they can be refreshed and revitalized so they can then give unconditionally.
 
Buddy states that the respite needs to be consistent.  A change of scenery.  A change into lighter energy.  All caregivers, including the animal variety, need emotional balance so they can be the best for the one they are caring for.

SHAMAN DAN
 
The spirit energy around him was that of a large physical presence presenting a highly spiritually evolved energy with shamanic abilities and practices.  He was surrounded by the energy of a bald eagle which signifies the Great Spirit, a higher mind.  He referred to himself as Dan.
 
Shaman Dan passed from a blow to the skull amid many soldiers and a lot of chaos.
 
“A great imbalance is occurring,” he said.  “This is causing earthquakes.  (I understand this to mean destruction in a broad sense.)  You are doing too much of what you don’t want to do—this is creating a great imbalance: the earthquakes.  (He appeared to be referring to both the literal and symbolic meaning of destruction.)
 
“You are not listening,” Shaman Dan continued.  “You’ve forgotten yourself.  Homes (meaning home/self) are stuffed with doing rather than being of the heart.  Each individual must come into balance before the earth can come back into balance.”
 
                                                 * * *
 
ASPIRATIONS?
 
Initially the energy of the town connected: industrial with bricks and smokestacks; row houses built on the sides of the mountains; and the stain of grimy.  It had the sensibility of coal town, of Allentown, Pa. back in the day.
 
The male spirit connecting called himself Mr. Davis, saying that he had been a boss.  He looked very skinny but indicated that despite his slight build, he was tough and rode his men hard.  They called him Boss Davis.
 
What he knew about on the physical plane was fists, coal miners and muscle.  He didn’t know about aspirations.  He passed, but then returned to the “same” life of fists, coal miners and muscle—his previous life repeated.  He passed again.  Both passings were due to heart strain/heart attack.
 
“What do you want to be when you grow up?,” he asked.  “Then do it,” he stated.  (The question appeared rhetorical.  His response seemed to be a motivational effort at mentoring himself on the concept of aspirations.)
 
He revealed that there’s an energy he’s drawn to on the spirit plane, a female he would like to connect with.  He showed her to be a teacher on a higher plane, a much higher level than his current plane.
 
Mr. Davis indicated that he realizes that he has a lot to learn before he can connect with her and her level of advanced energetic consciousness.  He seems to be in the beginning stages of grasping the purpose of having aspirations.
 
                                                   * * *
 
ELEANOR
 
The contact began with a serious impression of severe chest pain.  There was considerable confusion around this pain.  Related to a heart attack?  To breast disease?  To angina? 
 
The female spirit energy, referring to herself as Eleanor, explained that while on the earth plane she’d been misdiagnosed and had spent much of her time and energy dealing with this physical pain that was never resolved.  This turmoil created so much physical and emotional trauma for her that she took the trauma with her when she passed.
 
Eleanor said that she has been trying to communicate with members of her family who suffered useless grief with her while trying to get this mystery affliction/situation resolved.  However, there was no resolution.
 
Eleanor wants her family to know that on the spirit plane she has resolved all the painful traumatic issues from the physical plane.  I experienced her beautifully calm and serene energy—an “angel energy.”  Calm.  Gentle.  Serene.  Lifting.
 
Eleanor says that she is now an elder which she indicated signifies a learned and wise spirit energy.  She says at present she “offers information and guidance to those who arrive on the spirit plane traumatized by similar life circumstances.”
 
I’m confident that Eleanor connects (or tries to) with her family as she did with me, through her “angel energy,” a deep, unmistakable sense of peaceful relaxation separate from any correlating earth plane circumstance.

“MISERY WAS MY LIFE”
 
Don’t “kill” your self with self-destruction, that’s how this spirit energy, calling himself James, connected.  He bore the energy of an aristocrat—stately with gray hair and wearing tweed—looking like he’d be right at home in an ascot.  It seems he may have been a professor at a prestigious school.
 
James insists that strokes, fevers, etc. are all created by misery, saying, “Misery was my life.”  He died of self-destruction.
 
“People on the earth plane just don’t yet truly understand the full consequences of ingesting negative energy, how it causes self-destruction,” he asserted.  “Align yourself with positive energy.  Put yourself in a place where positive energy can influence you.”
 
Don’t “kill” your self with self-destruction.
 
                                             * * *
 
THE JUDGE
 
Though he was neatly attired in an ironed white shirt and black tie, his clothes felt rumbled and wrinkled.  He had the energy of a southern, dusty-courtroom judge in a small town of wood buildings where a train ran straight through its center.
 
“Fairness is impossible,” he said.  “Humans are fallible.”  The Judge said that he let molesters go and also had a hand in a lot of what he referred to as “deliberate de-liberties.”  (Apparently this refers to unfairly and arbitrarily taking away a person’s liberty.)  Eventually The Judge developed ulcers.
 
The Judge indicated that when he passed, he took all his “deliberate de-liberties” right along with him.  “There’s no such thing as leaving stuff behind,” he said.  All that de-liberty stuff attached to him like cancer.
 
Now on the spirit plane, he indicates that he is no where near to the “higher court,” as he calls it.  Rather he’s stuck in the “lower court” trying to work all his stuff out.  He says that he receives support but no help, as working out his earth life is all on him.
 
According to The Judge, there are a lot of “people” like him on the spirit plane and evidently there are a lot of people like him coming.  Apparently, in the end everyone finds out that nothing of what you have done (on the earth plane) gets left behind.
 
                                                * * *
 
JIM DIDN’T KNOW THAT HE HAD A SOUL
 
Jim—recently passed in a fire with billowing smoke—is now confronting his earth life.  Traveling the rocky terrain of evolution, is how he described it.  Apparently he has discovered that he is a new soul (on the evolutionary scale).
 
He indicates that through a life review he is confronting the “monster within him.”  Along with that, Jim also indicates that he is also discovering his innocence within.  And how the love he carried in his heart was sequestered.
 
Jim says that on the spirit plane there is no punishment, only learning.
 
With his life review, Jim is understanding that his domineering/overpowering mother who harmed him was also a new soul.
 
While it is very difficult to look at his life—at his mistakes—Jim says that he also sees “the puppy” inside him.  “The puppy” (the innocence) that was there, remained there, didn’t die, and is still there.
 
Jim said that he wishes he’d done a life review while still on the earth plane.  He wished he knew that a life review equals learning.  He never knew that he had a soul.  He never knew there was innocence within him.
            
                                                 * * *
 
Note:  Being nervous about an energy reading and receiving a Reiki treatment is completely natural and reasonable.  Placing soul trust in someone is very serious and we take it extremely seriously.  Connecting with individual soul energy is not mystical or mysterious--it is simply an issue of commitment, integrity, intense concentration, and focused intention.  An energy reading is (your personal) higher consciousness mentorship.  A path to expanding your heart through knowledge and understanding.  An opportunity to discover your path for profound healing.  An energy reading is where you will encounter your forever goodness and your forever light--your forever self, your soul.

THE TRAPEZE ARTIST
 
Her presence conveyed a high level of physical development with extremely broad/muscled shoulders.  On the earth plane this in-spirit energy claims that she was an acrobat, a dancer, a trapeze artist, part of a troupe referred to as The Flying Castile’s or Costello’s.  From the amount of activity portrayed around her former life, it appears that she was in a traveling circus or some type of carnival show.  She passed due to ovarian cancer.
 
During her earth time, Ms. Castile/Costello was close friends with someone who had a very thick, longish beard.  This bearded person had a female energy.  Also, Ms. Castile/Costello enjoyed the occasional cigar.
 
When she became too old to perform her craft any longer, Ms. Castile/Costello says that she became lost, as she had not developed herself beyond her physical career.
 
She discovered that when she came to the spirit plane, she was unprepared for such an expanded life and awareness.  Now she has the understanding that she wasted much of her earth life and thinks that she will need to return (reincarnate) to continue her (spiritual) evolution, as there are learnings (experiences) unavailable to her on the spirit plane.  And that she needs, wants to, further evolve, indicating that the urge to evolve is strong.
 
Ms. Castile/Costello wants to urge those on the earth plane to please learn from her example.  The earth plane is for evolving, preparing for the next phase of spiritual expression.  She says that she wasted her opportunity by clinging to only what she found comfortable.
 
There is so much more.
 
                                               * * *
 
THIS OLD GIRL
 
This energy connected very calmly referring to herself as This Old Girl, indicating that she passed as a very old woman from a sinus infection.
 
She spent her childhood in a cavernous house, showing it to be a monstrous (gigantic) home with windows that looked like dark, sunken eyes.  The home was empty of emotion and love, she said.
 
Now on the spirit plane, she enjoys looking at us (on the earth plane) and all the colors of energy that surround individuals.  This Old Girl is attracted to bright colors, she said.  She doesn’t like the dark energies surrounding some.
 
This Old Girl suggests that she is ready to “see” what she did not see while on the physical plane and is ready to return (reincarnate).  She has a very good friend on the spirit plane and says that they are planning to return together.  This Old Girl would love it if they could return as twins since they are very close to each other’s souls and would like to experience the earth plane again together.
 
This Old Girl says that plans have to be made before she can return.  She indicated that she has to go before what appeared to be a “board.”  This is not to seek permission, she said, rather the purpose is guidance and the defining of her purpose so that her future experiences on the earth plane reflect her soul’s mission.
 
This Old Girl is extremely excited about her future!
 
                                                * * *
 
FOREMOTHER
 
She possessed the energy of a foremother; a woman; a voice in her own time.
 
…lured by the light of rising women’s voices, she said, a rainbow of light.  Others are lured by this light. 
 
She came from far away and long ago—the 1800s, I suspect—judging from her clothing.  She came from the days of Matilda Joslyn Gage.
 
There is much anticipation on the spirit plane, she suggested.  Many of us are watching as the light of truth forges through the darkness.

CREATING JUSTICE THROUGH SPEAKING

CREATING JUSTICE THROUGH SPEAKING
 
Kathleen Hoy Foley
 
Played out on the world stage, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford detailed graphic facts of the sexual violence she was subjected to as a teenager by a drunken Brett Kavanaugh.  Dr. Ford’s testimony was riveting and painful to hear as listeners absorbed the profound level of her silenced agony.  Her anguished story generated inescapable flashbacks of personal horror for countless victims of sexual violence, myself included.
 
Retaliation did not take long.  The power mongers–the most powerful men in this country, perhaps the world–descended upon this one lone woman with all the artillery in their war chest and annihilated her like a wounded bird under their jackboots.  Powerful men wield powerful weapons: explosive fury.  Ridicule and mockery.   Brutal accusations of a corrupted memory.  Allegations of conspiracy aimed to strip a powerful man of his privilege to ascend to the throne of power.
 
Sexual assault is committed in the shadows by the powerful against the vulnerable, the powerless, and the subjugated.  It is tremendously difficult for a victim to produce corroborating evidence.  Social, religious and familial justice is simply not available to the vulnerable, the powerless, or the subjugated.  The shielded crime of sexual assault will always come to rest at the feet of the willfully blind.  The trump card carried by all aggressors is the comforting knowledge that most victims of sexual violence will never be believed.
 
Social, religious and familial justice may not be available to victims of sexual violence, but speaking is.  Through speaking we can create our own justice.  Speaking is educating.  Education empowers. 
 
We can teach following our intuition over blindly following the commands of the powerful.  We can show how to develop courage and how to utilize anger and frustration as tools for truth, evolution, and empowerment instead of allowing our frustration to immobilize us into helplessness. 
 
Speaking truth–no matter the consequences–empowers us with courage to live fully in the light of our integrity and move with confidence toward clarity.  Speaking empowers our children with the might of their own truth and to speak without shame no matter the details.  Speaking is the path to creating justice.
 
Thank you, Dr. Ford.
 
(Excerpt)
Woman In Hiding: A True Tale of Backdoor Abuse, Dark Secrets & Other Evil Deeds
By Kathleen Hoy Foley
 
To every victim of sexual abuse–past and present:
 
Your story is vitally important.
 
Your voice of truth is beautiful.
 
Each time you speak you grow stronger.
 
Each time you speak you chase away more of the darkness
where broken girls, dispirited women, and terrified children hide.
 
Each time you speak you ease the burden and illuminate the way for another victim.
 
Each time you speak, the shame of sexual violation is lessened.
 
Each time you speak you help another abuse victim fine her voice.

    About the Author

    In the provocative spirit of Matilda Joslyn Gage, Gloria Anzaldua, and Mary Daly, Kathleen Hoy Foley expands and deepens the voice of female experience.

    Raw. Uncompromising. Compassionate. Deliberately antagonistic. Kathleen writes to awaken the courage within the reader.


    TO THE SURVIVOR
    If you are a person who was victimized as a child or as an adult, I am so very sorry you ever had to suffer at the hands of a predator. 

    I am sorry you were abused, sorry no one protected you, sorry you have felt so alone, sorry you have been so afraid then and in the now. I am so sorry for the loss of your innocence. 

    You were and are entitled to you life. And you had a right to inherit your own body. And no matter what you did or what you think you failed to do you are not to blame. Sexual abuse is never a victim's choice. Sexual abuse is something that was done to your body not something you wanted. 

    This is an excerpt from: 

    http://web.archive.org/web/20130101063123/http://true-perspective.org 

    Kathleen and I encourage you to visit this site for perspective on your ordeal. Live happy and whole. Claim you power! 

    You are your own authority.

    Question Everything.  Including social, religious & political authorities

    Learn to listen and respond to your intuition.  It is never wrong.

    Learn to be impolite.  It must be part of your defense system.

    Nothing is unspeakable.

    Stare truth in the eye and speak it.

    You name abuse.  Listen to your body.  It will tell you.  It is never wrong. 

    Stare abuse in the eye and speak it.

    Stare abusers in the eye and name them.

    Use your voice.  Use your words. 

    BE LOUD.  Violence against girls, boys, women and men hides in the silent shadows.

    Know that you are powerful.

    KNOW THAT YOUR VOICE IS POWERFUL.   USE IT.
