A Zen way of being says, “A wise man hears what makes no sound and sees what has no form.” It is amazing to me how much of the natural and spirit world goes unnoticed by the majority of people. Those of us who do notice are often told we must be nuts for thinking that we see or hear whatever it is we are perceiving at the time.
It is important to acknowledge to ourselves that we are gifted with the sight. Without it the world would have no one to help it along the way of discovery. Imagine what it would have been like in the world if we continued to assume that the Earth was the center of the universe and that everything else around it revolves around this chunk of rock on which we live. It is not as though mankind isn’t egocentric enough already, but to have that view still unchallenged would make us tip the scales completely!
So how important it must be to acknowledge those around us who perceive what has no sound or form. Let’s use earthbound spirits as an example. Some of them could very easily be eased into the Light if they had help addressing their issues. Granted, some don’t want the help. But those who do are in dire need to cross over. Those of us who see and hear them and can communicate with them can help them in a multitude of ways, both big and small, to make that journey.
So what use is that to the rest of the world? Well, just to mention a few, some folks might find that they sleep better at night without all the commotion either in their dreams or in their living spaces. Some may find that they begin to feel healthier more quickly. Some might find that they can finally move on from the death of a loved one. But without the assistance, many are left with unresolved issues, both in the physical world and in the spirit world. This then can ripple down the line for seven generations or so.
I am giving a workshop on the 3rd of May called Spirit Beings. In this workshop I hope to help participants to open their consciousness to the communication that awaits them on the spirit plane. I look forward to this experience because any time I have assisted in this with individuals, the healing has been profound.
Blessed Be

Sombody Move That Wall!
Today, in our process of simplifying our lives, my wife and I moved a complete dining room set out to her father's house, and brought back a simple table and chairs from his place. A fair energy exchange, considering that he was the one who built the dining set in the first place. This is part of claiming our home as our own, which has been 5 years in the making since purchasing it from her father.
Now, I have to say right up front, this did not occur without some blood, sweat and tears, and a bit of cussing along the way. You see, the table was, shall we say, a monster to get through the front door. After dismantling the screen door in sub zero weather, the sucker still would not get through. I was this close to taking the door frame off when I remembered movers helping my family move as a kid. They were trying to get a box spring mattress around a tight corner and got stuck. Somebody said, "Would someone please move this wall?" Everyone cracked up. Then I spoke up and said, "If you stand it on end, you just might make it around that corner. Soon the mattress was backed up, flipped on end, and alacazam! It made it through.
So what do I do? I turn the table upside down and try to figure out how to dismantle it. I end up phoning my father-in-law to find out what screws should be attacked first as there are a lot and it is a complicated design. He assures me that they got it in the house without having to dismantle it. I am at this point not so sure he is remembering correctly. I am in fact still thinking about taking apart the door jam as well. Then he phones me back a minute after hanging up and says, "I am sure if you stand it on end and put the feet out first then turn it, it will get through the door." A complete flashback to 1971 and the movers goes through my mind again. Why did I not just think of that when remembering it the first time? And indeed it worked!
Sometimes in life we have walls to help hold up our houses. But some walls are only there in our perceptions. Once we change the way we look at it, what we see also changes. I think it was Dr. Wayne Dyer who said that. I would agree. I think that this is also true of walls in relationships. If we change the way we perceive a person, our relationship with that person can also have opportunity to change.
