Imagine Living Life Well with Perspective & Perseverance: Book Two

By Maureen Whitaker

 Book Two: Imagine Living Life Well with Perspective & Perseverance

Volume III New Spiritual Adventures & We Learn Anew

Volume IV Experiences Across the Pond on Familiar Terra-Firma

At one point while having discussions, Liam says in an eloquent manner, "It's as if you've taken the veil off science, opened the veil into metaphysics and thrown them together, shook them up and out the other side emerges amazing truths, the proof of which will, I believe, shake the two, science and metaphysics to its core, once it is known." While at lunch, the doctor's wife, Lilly, a Microbiologist, tells Anna and Liam about her identical twin and home country of Wales. They cannot figure why Lilly speaks with missing words and often slowly. As events occur, they have many Life Changes, realizing their Life Challenges and began to really learn how to Live Life Well. They have reason to believe there are Mysteries of the Universe and Everything Happens for a Reason. Dave shows Anna 'the object' he inherited from his twin, Frank. This opens to Mysteries of the Universe and to some special times, as wonderful insights were provided about it. They wonder if it was a Codex, like in the Da Vinci Code story. It is complex and causes the 'book within a book' to be born. Liam's medieval armour is returned from forensics and the case is closed. Something is wrong with Lilly. They soon learn what. Anna and Liam help Dave, their doctor, deal with life matters. There is a great discussion of how to know who people in this life are from knowing of Past Lives. Liam 'works out' in his armour. Liam begins the 'Sport of Kings' in the Medieval Society to make his goal a reality. Anna and Liam renew their wedding vows. Next is Book Three.

Spiritual Awakenings with Doctor Hawkeye and His Wife, Lilly, the Microbiologist

The doctors Langley seemed to be in a positive mood and enjoying our responses to their questions. Liam and I were pleased we decided to take a break. It appeared the Langley’s had seemingly taken the time to refresh.

Lilly looked as if she had taken the shine off her face with face powder. So far, Lilly was a most interesting lady. She is pretty, so I had to wonder why she wore so much makeup. Then, some ladies just do so.

We returned to the diningroom to take our wineglasses to the greatroom finding Dave had filled them. First, we went into the kitchen. Dave said he had opened another bottle of the same wine for us to enjoy in the greatroom.

I knew this would be a long evening. I was somewhat surprised Dave opened another bottle of wine, though there were four of us.

We all went to their greatroom. As I looked around again, I decided upon a chair, not the couch, as most couches are uncomfortable for me. Liam sat at a ninety-degree angle from me on the couch. Dave sat at the other end of the couch and Lilly sat in a chair opposite me.

Their large glass-topped coffee table was higher than normal and perfect for setting wineglasses upon. I knew I did not want to hold mine. Dave put the wine bottle to the left of a large amethyst crystal cluster, a nice coffee table centerpiece.

I had noticed the amethyst earlier, though had not commented. Now was my opportunity to do so and so I said, I love the amethyst. It is a great centerpiece.

Thanks, Lilly said and slowly stated, "We were at new age fair and I saw it. I had to have it. It was extravagant, though seemed to call to me and Dave indulged me."

I quickly thought, Oh, it explains some things. They have been to new age events. I glanced at Liam and he winked at me. I figured he had heard my comment in his mind.

I have seen several large coffee-table crystals I would have loved to own and never bought one, I stated factually. I have an extensive crystal, gemstone and mineral collection. Some of my most expensive indulgences have been high-quality collector or called museum-quality crystals.

I collected them for a long time, finally arriving at the point I said, ‘No more,’ as it can take up so much space. We have a glass-front antique cabinet with my collection displayed. Liam installed lights when we bought glass shelves for it. When we want to, it is lit and it makes the crystals sparkle. Keeping them behind glass is less time I have to spend cleaning them and it is for other reasons, I stated.

What she is not telling you is, when I was ready to drill the holes in the back of the oak cabinet, we prayed nothing would go wrong. It is from the late 1800 era. I had measured three times to ensure I’d all the holes exactly where they needed to be. I matched the stain and colored the holes, threading the lights in carefully, holding them in place with the correct loop pins, Liam said.

You did a great job in installing the lights and glass shelves. It made my old cabinet seem new and to use it for displaying crystals, gemstones and minerals was a distinct change from my past use of it. The nice thing is, the cabinet locks. Children are not allowed to run in our home or throw around even a fluffy ball because we have glass-front cabinets. Two antique cabinets have original glass which are poured glass from the 1800 era, I shared.

Sounds like a good idea for a display. We have other nice crystals around. I must say, we know little of them and went with ones that felt good to us and in colors we liked, Dave said.

I may be able to help you, I stated, adding, I wrote a book on crystals, gemstones and minerals and using them spiritually. It only has specific types included. I will make sure I give you a book.

That would be great. If it’s for sale, let me purchase it, please, Dave said.

Only if you insist and we will see! I brought you another book tonight. It is a gift! I exclaimed, adding, Before we get much further, I want to read something I received not long ago. I made a special copy for you as I had to modify certain personal parts which were provided directly for Liam and me. Since I know you have more questions, we can do those after I read this, as this may spur other questions.

It would be wonderful to hear you read a message you were provided. Thank you ahead of time, Dave said earnestly, asking, Might I ask, were you guided to share it with us?

"Yes, I was and it is not something I would share with certain others because I feel people need to express an interest in the topic. Something you said made me think you would like this. It is another aspect of what I do when The Otherside suggests I share a particular subject with others. I am often guided to write certain insights which can become an article in response to what someone says or asks," I said emphatically.

Some articles may go public once modified for general use, I stated factually. "Thus are the life sagas of a writer and one who Trance Receives Etherial Insights. I do enjoy it and Liam knows, because I will say to him, ‘You must hear this,’ and he agrees, so I go on and read it to him."

Lilly said slowly and quietly, I look forward to hear whatever you have for us. I am enjoying everything you have shared so far.

Thanks. One thing I realize is this: Not all I know can be shared in one evening. It seems so far, we have gone through a great deal. You two are soaking it up like sponges, I offered.

It’s fascinating material, Dave said, placing their recorder on the table, saying, Guess it is time to turn on the recorders.

Indeed, it is, Liam said as he set ours on the table and clicked it on, as Dave turned on theirs.

That done, Dave asked, So, Anna, what is it you’ve written you will read now?

I took the document from the folder, saying, "It is on Charting Our Life’s Path. I feel certain messages coming through me are best learnt and remembered by being heard via my voice. The reason I say this is, this message is from The Otherside through me."

"Since it is often how insights are relayed, especially when I am in a full trance, it seems others like hearing missives in my voice. Having said so, I am unsure I desire to go into a trance tonight. I do not feel it will occur. Then, I have been wrong. I did say my Prayers of Protection early this morning, reinforced them after dinner, asking The Otherside for guidance," I stated.

Liam and I liked this message and this copy is for you when I have finished reading it tonight. There are some aspects of it I left in, as if removed it would not work with the continuity and flow of the message. I may break after each section and see if anyone has any comments or questions. So this is it, I said.

Anna, a moment, if I may, please? Liam asked.

Certainly, I said and nodded affirmatively.

The insights in this document were a turning point in my recovery. I believe the same for Anna since both of us were affected and effected. It’s been cathartic for me and explained so much in a wonderful way. You’ll realize as Anna reads this why we are sharing it, Liam offered.

Dave, you were the first doctor to see me following the injuries, because I don’t count that medic or the EMT. You can’t imagine how many times we’ve thanked God it was you on duty that day, Liam said, adding, We don’t believe most other doctors would have responded how you did. To this I’ve concluded, there are reasons for each and every life event and often we don’t know why.

We’re sitting here tonight because I was injured and we met you. Excuse me, I misspoke. We’re sitting here tonight because Anna was injured. It was how she was injured, what she so boldly said in the emergency room after what she’d done at the event site to know what was wrong with me, realizing I needed medical assistance and is partly why we are sitting here, Liam stated.

Until we received these insights you’ll hear, I’d never understood what it meant when Anna would say, ‘There are reasons for everything.’ I needed to preface her reading this with my thoughts, so thanks for indulging me, Liam offered.

As always, you are most eloquent. I thank you and you are welcome. I love indulging you. I am pleased you said what you did, I said softly.

Dave, it is true what he said of our being extraordinarily thankful you were the doctor on duty upon the day our whole life changed, I stated calmly.

I thank you both for sharing, Dave stated, adding, Now, I really look forward to hearing this missive.

As do I, Lilly said.

Living Life Well and a Lesson Charting Life’s Course and Path

"I will now begin. Charting Life’s Course and Path: A compass can be useful to chart your way to success and life fulfillment. It can be as a labyrinth to guide you and keep you on your path," I stated as I began reading the lesson’s content.

The document is much the same as the first edition of the subject, as it shifted to parts which had to do with our present circumstances. It did not contain Liam’s and my conversations between sections since there was no need.

"What follows immediately is from The Otherside regarding Liam’s injuries from the attack, I offered. It may clarify certain aspects Liam and I have had regarding several aspects of it.

This portion is a narrative, informational and suggestions provided from The Otherside regarding what happened to Liam and Anna when Liam became injured by the hands of criminals with ill intentions directed at them and their life creates thoughts to find ways to deal with it, almost as prophecy. That is the side of evil in the hands of some warped and dangerous persons. The upside of your situation is, the bad guys did not win the day. You did! You survived their intended actions against you on more than one account, as you well know. It is survival of the fittest! While you did not slay the dragons, eliminate them and the actions could not be stopped, there are multiple levels why it was not stopped, so the following would happen and are in no order of priority.

The Medieval Society would begin having better gate security, would begin having more careful and better weapons inspections and would have more qualified medics at events. The criminals would be caught, because they made bad decisions, i.e., leaving behind weapons and evidence to incriminate themselves. You would survive and teach, going onto higher levels of understanding Spiritual Healing. The doctors would experience situations they have never dealt with and now know what to do if ever a similar event occurred. Law enforcement will comprehend more about the Medieval Society and what they do and look for other criminal situations. The members of the Medieval Society can have better understandings regarding real weapons. The cult will be found and dealt with legally. It may lead to more.

Both of you will trust and have a better understanding of your intuitive, Etherial messages, why you receive them and what is in the future. Both of you will not feel a need to suppress your Intuitiveness or have fears and doubts about their use and validity. You, your families, friends and chosen family members will have closer, more-understanding, solid and even more-tolerant relationships.

Hospital staff, managers and personnel will understand how ‘thinking outside the box’ to gear help for patient and family needs is more a standard and valuable option. Both of you and the doctor who is so interested in what happened will know what, how and why an automatic healing occurred, what the ramifications of it are and what the future can hold.

Now, you can clearly see in the preceding sentences each and every one of them are changes and within each one of those items are a multitude of changes, so you can think of it like the roots to a tree reaching the water and nutrients from the soil and from which branches will grow and begin to make the tree become stronger and healthier. Think of the tree as much as the path, the labyrinth, the many branches which become your lives.

The true facts on life conditions which occur are, as you look at each of the items on the list, you well know the domino effect of changes as each item touches the next and next, as a set of dominos are placed close together on end and it only takes moving the first one to cause them to all be effected in the end. You can realize none of the events would have created changes had the initial cause of the situation not occurred. It is a matter of knowing and understanding how the changes will effect both of you and so many other people. This side desires it become a solace and comfort for you both, so do allow it to be such. So many of the changes are positive, with positive outcomes.

Think of the ideal of the mythical and unique bird The Phoenix which periodically burned itself on a funeral pyre and was born again from the ashes. Relate this to yourselves in the sense of a metaphor in which once all your wounds are healed, your minds have reconciled the damages and when the entire situation is resolved legally, in the end you will rise from the ashes, living to fight another day. It is when you will realize you won. Likewise, each choice which each person makes will change a path, somewhere, somehow and sometimes ever so slightly and at times, in huge and dramatic ways.

When an event happens to you which you had nothing to do with, such as a criminal act, how you proceed, how you recover, how you continue to go about life will, in the end, make all the difference in what happens for the rest of your life. Some events which happen in a close proximity to you which again, are not of your doing will have a further impact upon your life. Again, how you respond to it will make a difference. Some people might see them as bumps in the road of life. Some may see them as hurdles, and some may feel as if they are being picked on for some reason. So how you choose to respond makes a difference.

When certain events happen to you or another loved one, you may find it distasteful and you have a right to be angry with regards to it. It is what you do with the anger which matters and again, makes a difference. Once any decision or choice has been made on any given life event, many aspects of a multitude of past life experiences, pervious life experiences in this lifetime, in what is happening in your current life status and your thoughts, decisions and/or actions or reactions on any possible future and those of any others who happen to be around a person all go into what happens next. It is the way of the lives of humans.

I paused and next stated, "To continue, the next section is The Personal You, The Unique You, The Special You!

The insights from previous document were read and speak to There Are Clearly Differences in Acting Toward Life and Reacting to Life Situations as previous to include It Is Your Task in Life to Learn Whether You Will Act Toward Life or Go Along Reacting to Life Situations each time something occurs.

Included was the ideal of being aware of in knowing your self well enough to know what you will do in most of Life’s Changes, Challenges and Situations, whether it is positive or negative or neutral. It is a matter of whether or not you have Savoir Faire.

Following the section, I realized I needed a break, so I said, All right, I need a short break.

I needed to drink water. The room became silent. It felt as if it was going well. I felt animated to a degree and not as if I were droning. I hoped there may be comments.

Since you paused, I desire to say, this is excellent. I’m most intrigued in the explanations of ‘acting toward’ and ‘reacting to’ life circumstances. What I realize when I think back on it, you both ‘acted toward’ your situation. I found it amazing then and still do, Dave offered.

I believe I had said at one time, ‘Most people under the same conditions would have been a complete basket case.’ I desire to share a conversation I had with a peace officer. He was concerned over the fact Anna ‘was not a mess’ and seemed to keep it together, right up until he saw you cry, Dave said.

I think it is rare officers see people hold themselves together, perhaps doing their crying and grieving in private. Well, you were in privacy until he walked in the emergency room treatment room and you were crying. Most people are overly dramatic and I feel we have television shows to help it along. I am impressed with this message so far. I needed to comment, Dave stated.

I like comments because it proves to me even more so insights I receive are valid and have good, solid content. Not everyone can accept this aspect either. Thanks for sharing the conversation with the officer and your thoughts, I said firmly.

Lilly slurred when she said, "If I may, I’m quite impressed. It makes much sense and seems messages help calm chaos. With modifications you could publish it in a new age magazine or periodical."

"I have modified it into a form which leaves Liam and me out of it. I had not pursued publishing it because it is quite long. If a magazine did several parts of an article consecutively, certainly it could work, though most want short articles. I have known for decades The Otherside’s missives are long. And it seems lengthy messages and educational premises sink into people’s consciousness much better than a short, chopped article," I stated.

By adhering to and not including longer articles, they miss out on good insights, Lilly stated emphatically and faster than her last time speaking. "Have you been published in magazines?’

Yes, I replied. Albeit has been a while.

Hearing this again is adding to what I said earlier. Wow! I mean, wow! I’m nearly speechless! Liam exclaimed.

Do continue, Dave said.

"Thanks, all of you, for your feedback. To continue, the next section is A Compass Charts Earth’s Four Corners, North, South, East and West. It begins, ‘As you Chart Life’s Course and Path by making difficult decisions, you begin to find your true Life Path! That is, you will find your True Path only if you honor there may be changes you can clearly see, before you make life better, overall.’"

I said the message continues. Since life is not stagnant and it is, by what humans do, in a constant ebb and flow, as the tides in your Earth’s oceans, as waves crash on the shore in a constant-changing dance of no two wave’s foam is on the same path, so are certain aspects of life constantly and consistently different or in opposition. Again, it is the duality which exists in the entire Universe. This duality must be honored and recognized for what it is and taken into account in taking all actions. It takes prudence, comprehension and knowing all aspects of the Etherial Realm to manage duality in any issue.

At times, you emotional, fragile humans are known to ride on life’s huge wave and crash to the sand in a heap, at times with a resounding thud. It is difficult to say in the throes of some of life’s difficult situations, This, too, shall pass, knowing it will pass and only be A Bump in Life’s Road! (It continues on into the same as the original with slight modifications.)

"I like this next section, The Reality: There Are No Manuals for Living Life Well and it has some good aspects and begins with, ‘You may have a life epiphany at some point about the reality there are no manuals for Living Life Well, as none were provided in any baby basinet when a child was born!’" (It continues as written previously.)

"I like how The Otherside has included insights with a medieval touch. I must say, this next section is done this way to appeal to our modern medieval values and I like it. It begins with Ah-ha! A Double-Edged Sword Has Revealed Itself! It reads, ‘Note the Eagle at the top of the sword. When the sword is lifted in a striking position, the Eagle is upside down. It is the implication of the Eagle’s talons clasping its prey or its beak, tearing at its prey once captured. Eagles are a durable bird. An Eagle represents strength, power, freedom, conquest and Knighthood,’" I offered.

"These are the next two questions: (1) Are you done fighting the same old dragons? (2) Are you wanting more old dragons to fight? And this quote I like, ‘Choose wisely, the ancient ghostly Knight in Indiana Jones calmly said when Indy was about to choose a chalice or a cup he thought might be The Holy Grail’," I stated.

I next said, "Then it reads, ‘This side would then ask two more questions upon which you can ponder: (1) Is it noble to fight your old dragons? (2) Is discretion the better part of valor? Yet this is a dichotomy in and unto itself.’

The missive continues, The higher truth is, only you know the truth in these two statements: (1) Is it best to fight another dragon and win to live another day? (2) Or is it best to continue fighting the dreary, seemingly slow and same old dragons of the past and not ever win, at a great peril to your ‘self,’ which could mean not living to see another day (metaphorically, not in reality).

Having said the above, it could mean in reality, life could end if your current life is inch by inch slowly draining the life from your overall being. In reality, only you know which choice is best for you! No one else knows! How do you choose? You choose wisely.

This is a good place to pause. There is more, though this is the end of another section, I stated, sipped wine and next said, "There are two wine goblets by the Knight in Indiana Jones comment. It seemed appropriate to include it and it humored me. One is golden and ornate, the other is gray and not as ornate."

Hum-m, Dave began, I’d never thought how the blend of medieval ideals could be used in a spiritual lesson. He paused and stated, "It’s simply wonderful. I’m certain The Otherside knows people well enough to know human history. What a great way to present it, because it can have a broad spectrum of ways to send messages. I like it."

As do I and like hearing it again. The references to the sword, Knights and fighting dragons make sense. One thing Anna and I said at the beginning of this mess is, ‘we are done fighting dragons’ and we feel ‘we have no more dragons to fight.’ So the whole chain of events surrounding my being attacked took on a whole new realization as the larger picture was revealed, Liam said.

What I mean is, while we were the center of the entire situation, the fact so many events occurred as they did while we were in the hospital with the visions Anna had and her telling the police detectives and district attorney, it made a whole lot of flags go up to rattled cages as it all unfolded, thus defeating the dragons. I realize Lilly may not know much of the case. Sometime, we may need to talk of it. I have no problem with you knowing. What we say can’t go anywhere, Liam stated.

Trust me, Lilly said, sounding slurred and slow, I totally understand. We saw something on the news which I now realize had to be about your case. Now I realize why you are under police protection. I feel the people who harmed you do not know what you look like.

True, they do not. We desire to keep it that way. In fact, they do not know our names, Liam said.

That is good, Lilly said slowly and sipped wine.

In any case, there have been twists and turns in the case. Anna told me Dave heard much the first night in the emergency room. Maybe he can fill in some blanks for you. I think I can safely speak for Anna when I say I trust you both and it may be best for Dave to let Lilly know what is needed for a better understanding of what happened and why we are dealing with what is now our life, Liam stated.

I can do so and thank you for your trust. It’s the most unusual situation I’ve ever seen in my duties as a doctor, Dave said.

I concur it is quite unusual. I trust you both or I would not be sitting here tonight, I offered.

Thanks. Do continue, please, Dave said.

"I think you will like this next part since it addresses life shifts causing changes for the better. Its title is ‘Promises: Can Life Shift and Change for the Better,’" I stated.

At this juncture, life can change only if you can make it happen and only if you want to make changes in your life. This is not double talk. It is a reality and it never is easy to make the correct choices during life. A great dichotomy in life is, it often seems full of promises. Human beings make promises which at times, depending on changes in certain life circumstances or beliefs any person holds near and dear to their heart, a promise cannot continue to be honored. (It continues as written.)

"This next section is really neat and I like it. Its title is, A Greater and Perhaps Less-Known Reality," I offered.

In moving forward, the one who has already broken the promises of a relationship must create their next phase of life. The same thing can happen when you are recovering from a Serious Life Challenge and it is the same principle. No one can do it for the other person. People can support you in your challenge, though each person must make the best of any given situation. Each person must help him or herself with their own life problems, though often seek good counsel.

It is the concept of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, facing each day to keep going to accomplish whatever it is you need to do, despite what any others do or say.’ It is then making life work on your New Life Path.

A greater and perhaps lesser-known reality is, there are no Life Challenges or Life Changes in which a person survives that are too difficult to be able to move forward on Life’s Path to create a better and more fulfilled life, realizing it is possible to do so. While one’s life may be different after any Life Challenge, life does continue.

Yes, it will take work and it may take assistance, though a greater truth is, each person has no one else, except the self, to count on in most life situations. One cannot totally depend on another person, an organization, a government program or doctors to resolve any given situation. This concept may be foreign to some people. All too often in current society, people blame others for their woes and believe they are owed something by certain agencies, not realizing, in reality, they are not owed anything.

Yes, family, friends, agencies and/or medical staff can assist. It still remains a fact, a person must do for themselves and be willing to do for themselves to create their Next Phase of Life and move forward. When these concepts are recognized, it can be acted upon appropriately.

This next part is great since it addresses directly to Liam’s and my personal relationship and how we see ourselves as a single unit and I left it as it was written, I stated.

In your case and with your Unit-of-One, you already know it takes both of you to make your life happen in the way you desire. You have the synchronicity and the love to create what you desire. When Life Changes and you have Charted a New Life Path and Course, it is considered The Progression of Your Soul’s Path into a New Life Path and upon which this new direction carries you, perhaps into a whole new arena and often to new ways of inner happiness. Life becomes meaningful and your spirits lift. (It continues as originally written.)

I will now read the ending which I like a great deal, I stated emphatically.

Continue to Choose Wisely in all actions you take. Doing so is in your best interests. Be ever aware of your surroundings, environment and move around in life matters with the grace and style which befits you as the lord and lady of your medieval home.

You understand a great deal where life is concerned and while some of what this side relays to you may not be completely new, it is given as a reminder for your discernment and need to know and remember what and how you need to do to proceed through these difficult times.

Do continue to Fight for Your Rights and know Justice Will Be Served. Know you are most deserving of compensation for your loss. Know you deserve goodness in life. Rejoice in your love. Be strong and supportive as ever with and for each other, for this will keep the solidarity of your Unit-of-One! Fare thee well and God be with you, until we meet again.

"That ended the missive from The Otherside, I stated. Liam and I talked following each section I received and had written. It was great to have discussions, even though we have had numerous ones these last weeks."

"It provides ideas how to Live Life Well, Lilly slowly said. Some concepts I have never heard before. I like them, especially on ‘acting toward’ situations and not reacting all the time. I imagine it takes practice stopping from reacting to employ the concepts."

It does. I’m proof of it. I often reacted to things which happened. I finally figured what Anna had talked with me of years ago and in how she did things, she wasn’t reactive because she ‘acted toward’ each life situation that came along. She planned a strategy. It worked for the most part and still does. It’s part of being prepared for certain unexpected life situations, Liam offered.

I liked the message and lessons in the document. I like the style in how it’s stated. I imagine some of it is how you would write it, Anna, Dave said, asking, Is this correct?

"To a degree, though not always. I have had to edit and not change the content of messages. At times, The Otherside’s messages become cumbersome yet are still there if we look at it closely. If something is prophetic, I strive to maintain it as closely as I hear it. At times, The Otherside is archaic, I offered. I strive to keep missives intact and not insert my personality into them."

Answering Questions Prophecy, Readings, Trances and More

Thanks! It makes sense. I have a question, Dave began and asked, "How and when do you know when something is prophecy?"

"Ah, a wonderful question. Mostly, it is the content of a message which makes me determine if it is insightful information or a prophecy or a warning to gain my attention. Messages come in all different forms. At times, I will receive something and only later realize it was prophecy. Not all insights I am ever provided which are considered prophecy come to fruition. It does not work like that. I have what I call my ‘hits’ and ‘misses,’ and it will likely always be so," I stated ardently.

"What so many people forget is what prophecy is and since each decision is made by each person, prophecy can change. Ergo, nothing is written in stone. You will see this in this book. It is my Spiritual Memoirs of Visions and Dreams, except I had to give it the title I did, I stated as I took the thin book from my folder and handed it to Dave, saying, I think both of you will like the insights, experiences and photos within this book. It is one of my shorter books and explains a great deal."

"Thank you. I look forward to reading this. I’m certain Lilly will enjoy it. One thing we noticed at new age fairs was, it seemed to us, if you asked question of certain people, they wanted you to sit for a reading and would not answer a simple question," Dave said.

"Ah, I do not mean this to be disrespectful, though it is a truism. I did not do it like that. I let people make the decision upon seeing my signs, brochures and booth. I would never insist anyone sit with me for a reading. My method worked. My schedule always filled," I stated in earnest.

People who will not answer a single question are ones who are only in it for the money. Sure, at a show or expo, vendors are there to sell something. My booth, product displays, signs and brochures were what sold my services, books and products. My booth was neat, orderly and quite colorful. All tables were draped with strong colors, mostly white, maroon and purples and with good displays, I shared as fact.

I never thought it like that, Lilly said, sounding quite slurred again. Dave, think back, it make sense. I bet your booths were artistically done, Anna.

She paused and slowly asked, "What of interpreting prophecy? How does it work? I keep reading different idea what various quatrains of Nostradamus meant. It seems they are vague. It is weird people pull some ideas they do from his works. Was he unclear or are people reaching?"

"Excellent questions, Lilly and thanks. I am no professional on nor have I studied the prophecies of Nostradamus.¹ I have studied some of Edgar Cayce’s writings and prophecies. While I am familiar with both other person’s predictions and I have read some, I try not to interpret them, even Nostradamus. Here is why," I stated.

"We all have opinions and it is my opinion many prophets in history and their prophecies were often quite misunderstood and/or misconstrued over the ages as time passed. Like anything anyone writes, the bigger question is this: If something is written in codes or in metaphors, what does it actually mean?" I asked emphatically.

That make sense, Lilly said and asked, What is your take?

"The reality is, no one, except the person receiving any prophecy, can interpret or say ‘It means this’ on any other person’s prophecy. We cannot determine what is meant by metaphors, especially the vague and ambiguous ones, unless its author has taken the time to write it in a concise way to explain it well. I see in what I receive the metaphors are mostly all explained," I ardently replied.

"In Nostradamus’ era, considering what was happening in religion during the era with a variety of changes and the witch trials, it could be he wrote his quatrains to conceal a greater meaning of what he received as prophecy to save his life. I daresay Michel de Nostredame would not have wanted to be considered a heretic or burnt at the stake as a witch or rather a warlock," I offered.

"It is pure speculation on my part. On the other hand, Nostradamus may have received his quatrains exactly as he wrote them. What I see happens with Nostradamus’ and Cayce’s work is, for every person attempting to decode their messages, they each place a different perspective or spin on what their interpretation of what the messages might have meant. I have had it happen to what I Trance Received, even when there were no mincing words in the message. Another aspect is, there are the naysayers, who will attempt to twist any and all Etherial messages," I stated as fact.

How do you avoid people twisting messages? Lilly asked slowly.

"Good question and thanks. For my work, it has been why I ask The Otherside to clarify insights. As I said, the metaphors given are clarified. What is amazing is, people often remember the metaphors. If an insight is not totally clear to me, I ask for more. I have written much material I would never publish or share. Another answer is, when any message is written and published, I, as its author, have no control on what anyone thinks. I must let it go and hope those reading it comprehend the messages and do not misconstrue them," I replied with emphasis.

Some missives I received were too daunting to want to share, so I did not. Some messages are too personal. It is why when I had the dream’s vision in the hospital, I had to tell Liam of it first and in essence, felt I needed his permission to act upon it. I needed to know if he was all right with my sharing it with law enforcement. Even once we agreed I needed to tell them of it, it took faith and trust, as I felt as if I took a huge risk in relaying it, I stated factually.

I have not wanted to do intuitive work with regards to crimes. To me, it is too icky, for lack of a better word. In this case, once I realized the implications, I felt I had no other choice except to share it with Liam. I was completely daunted by what I was shown in the visions and dream and did not tell him all of it when I told him what I had received, I shared truthfully.

That I drew a creepy-looking man’s face, it was eerily creepy. It felt excessively important to tell Liam, not knowing how he might react. We jointly decided to let the police know. I told him when we showered, since I did not know if the hospital room may have been monitored. In any case, we made the decision I needed to share it and it helped, I offered.

I paused briefly and stated, "I think you will like the insights in my book, Memoirs of Visions and Dreams, Nothing Is Written in Stone and Life’s Choices and Decisions. Yes, I know it has a long title. It gives real-life examples of Spiritual Advents which occurred to me and/or when I was present with others and is written from my perspective."

Like other writings I have done, I had parts of it already and was guided to complete it. It happened quickly and actually has some fun events and advents in it, while there are some which were quite serious, like my one yacht sailing in San Francisco Bay. Some, to be sure, were not experiences I would care to repeat. Some were ones I avoided by being in another place. I think you will know which ones as you read it, I stated.

I sipped wine and said, This is a great wine, Dave. We need to write the name of it down before we leave tomorrow, because I have had it a long time ago and need to have the name to know what to look for besides the bottle’s color.

I’m glad you like it and was sure you would. I will make sure we give you the name, Dave stated.

Lilly began, seemingly thoughtfully, saying, "It seem many people claim to Channel and receive spiritual messages. They are all over the place. Not cohesive. I don’t see discipline or control in what some say. It like they collect random, loose thought energy. I’m not well versed in any of it."

Lilly paused, cleared her throat and stated, "I say it based on what I see at fairs and spiritual shops. You seem coordinated in how you say what you do and it seems genuine. Maybe coordinated is not right word. My question, how did you begin to understand the differences in your approach to metaphysics from what I see and hear with most other people?"

"An excellent question, Lilly. Yes, some people who claim to do certain aspects of spiritual matters are not focused, nor are they disciplined. Some seemingly collect good insights from reading and some do receive information from the Ethers to relate to others. It is partly from whence the insights come which makes a difference," I said ardently.

"I recall one fellow saying he tells everyone the exact same thing. That is certainly not providing a reading. I have seen it many times over time. It has been rare I have gone to a reader of any type. One lady I observed at a small event seemed to have the gift. Since I can see and interpret Auras, I liked what she was doing, so I went to her," I stated factually.

"I did not tell her what I do. I wanted to see what she would draw when she did an Aura Portrait of me and hear what she would say as she drew. In the end, the drawing’s facial features did not look like me, except its eyes were blue, like mine. She had exploding third eye colors and hit ‘spot on’ with what I did when she spoke. Only after she showed me the drawing did I briefly explain what I did. I complimented her on her insights and the drawing. It is in my office and reminds me of certain things," I said honestly.

Have you written of your comprehension of the various aspects of spirituality? Dave asked.

Yes. Good question. In my Soul book, there are numerous insights into much of it. The first part of the book is a variety of terms and done so at the beginning, for good reasons, rather than at the end of the book. I was guided to put it at the beginning to set the premise about the term’s meanings. It seems many people do not comprehend and misuse spiritual terms. The book came from twenty-five to thirty years of my life’s work. It was a daunting project. It finally explained aspects I did not comprehend, so it was great. One thing I do is this: I do not read other people’s ‘take’ on things, I explained.

So do you ever read other’s information? Dave asked.

"Yes and no. I cannot say I have not read any spiritual books. I have, though long ago. In recent years, given what I have been guided to do, I do not read other’s spiritual books for the simple reason I do not want others’ beliefs to taint what I receive from The Otherside," I replied.

Some folk loaned me books on their own volition, saying I might like them. Once I read small portions, I never read the rest and returned the book. It is this simple: if something does not resonate with what I have been provided, what I believe, what I know based on my personal experiences, a reality is, there was no point in my reading it, I continued my reply.

"Once in a while, I may read some others’ information after I write what I am given, to see if there were any correlations. It seems imperative for me to keep my insights pure, as I do not desire my mind to leap into someone else’s arena or an attempt to change the messages I receive from The Otherside. It is not what I want to do, nor am I supposed to do it. This has been the most important aspect of any books, articles and/or other documents I write. Keeping it true to what comes through me, not what other people’s perspectives are of any given subject offered," I stated in earnest.

"In other words, I attempt to keep my writing clear, pure and true to my beliefs and the wonderful insights I am provided, knowing from whence the insights have arrived. I do not want what I relay or write to be muddled or tainted by others’ rambling, random and/or often seemingly silly comments which have nothing to do with anything and may as well be gibberish. This is not me being rude. It is guidance I receive from The Otherside on how to proceed with what I do to keep my path clear," I offered.

"As for your comment on some people being ‘all over the place’ and thoughts being ‘random and perhaps disjointed,’ we have a term for it which is Astral Trash. I cannot take credit for coining it. Another gentleman I know with whom I did joint Channelling coined the term. What we did was a great deal of excellent insights. Astral Trash made perfect sense for some of the junk we heard from others," I said factually.

"This is kind of funny. At times, the gentleman I just mentioned and I went to ‘psychic fairs’ in a mall where I lived at the time. We would stop to talk for a moment and stand there to listen to the readers talking to their clients. Once we had heard enough, we moved on and yes, it was ‘psychic eavesdropping’ and we knew exactly what we were doing and why. It served a good purpose and in many ways, was an experiment," I shared.

"Much of what we overheard was ‘babbling’ and ‘double talk.’ It had no relevance to the Auras of a person and/or the energies we felt, saw and heard. Most of those venues are tightly close together with one reader and the next with maybe three feet between tables and no space for privacy in that type of situation, much less all the mingling of everyone’s energy," I stated.

"In reality, what was almost depressing was seeing the ugly, grim and negative colors in Auras of some readers or so-called psychics. It was not a pretty picture. Doing what we did was not a good idea for anyone, unless they know exactly what they are doing and go into it prepared. We went into it with a huge Mantle of Protection and The Otherside had sanctioned our doing it, as official approval of our experiment. I would not have done it any other way," I said in earnest.

That’s hilarious, Anna. You never told me of doing such a thing, Liam said.

"No, as it is not something I have talked of much with anyone. Basically, doing it was, as I said, an experiment on our part. We would not have done it had The Otherside not approved it. We learnt a great deal. It took place over a two- or three-month time frame. We had known of the events, talked of it and decided to ask The Otherside for permission to do an experiment," I offered.

"Once we received guidance and decided to do it, we made sure we were protected before proceeding. We wore crystals and all had crystals in our purses or pockets. As I said, it served a higher purpose. We realized some of the supposed readers providing ‘psychic readings’ were basically full of crap. I do not use the word crap lightly, I stated. It was clearly Astral Trash."

So was that the conclusion of your experiment? What was the higher purpose? Dave asked.

"What we did, right, wrong or indifferent, was, we were able to project thoughts toward the persons having the reading for them to know the inaccuracy of the junk or Astral Trash the ‘supposed reader’ was saying. We offered prayers to that regard to transmute the energy and help the people being duped not to have the negative Astral Trash crap stick to their beings or beliefs," I replied.

"Almost all those ‘supposed psychics’ told people they needed to come back regularly to see them where they hung their shingle. The prices were eighty and ninety dollars per session which is one hour, not the mere fifteen dollars at the fairs. The unsuspecting Jane-and-Joe populace were
