Good Morning, It's Good To Be Alive!

Good morning fellow seekers and believers. A warm welcome also to 'ye of little faith.' Take a deep breath, you are indeed still alive! The Mayan calendar has finally come to a grinding halt. Yes, it is December 21st, 2012 and the time is exactly 11:11 GMT, the official time of the Solstice.

It is indeed a blessing to greet you at the dawn of yet another perfect Solstice day in this miraculous annual progression of human history.

If you are one of the more adventurous and spirited among us, you may very well find yourself today on a Mayan galactic alignment cruise or magical pilgrimage to the Chichen Itza in the Mexican state of Yucatan, or at Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, waiting for the first light to break on the horizon. I can only imagine how much fun you must be having! If you are more pessimistically inclined, you may however be searching for alien evacuation portals on Apocalypse Island in Chile, or you may very well be reading this from the comfort of the 2012 survival bunker you built in your backyard, whilst snacking on the emergency supply of canned food and water you have carefully stocked up since 2010.

Most people are however simply on their way to work this morning – facing yet another hectic day at the office, and later possibly some last minute holiday shopping at a snail’s pace in another traffic jam. Yet, is it not great to be alive! And like our ancestors have done for millennia, and like our children’s grandchildren will do for many more, we are once again today witnessing the shortest, or longest day of the year, depending on the hemisphere in which you find yourself.

Psychic DNA: Nature Or Nurture?

Is everyone psychic? Not in my experience. I believe psychic ability is an innate talent or gift aimed at the specific Life Calling of some individuals, while intuition is a highly personal aspect of everybody's inner spiritual guidance system. We all possess innate, natural intuition, whether we are conscious or unconscious of it – but not everyone is born psychic.

Natural intuition is highly personal and mostly about taking care of our own personal needs. Psychic ability on the other hand shifts the so-called 'sixth sense' or extra-sensory perception (ESP) from the personal sphere into the realm of the impersonal. Intuition is our direct inner guidance from our Divine Self towards achieving our unique Soul Purpose and Life Calling. Psychic ability on the other hand dwells in the realm of the selfless, prophetic and archetypal.

Psychics, mediums and healers are channels, messengers, conduits or surrogates, which means that they do not only receive personal inner guidance from their own Divine Self, but they also have the capacity to receive and translate guidance on behalf of their fellow man. These perceptions or messages may come from the other person’s Higher Self, or courtesy of non-physical entities.

The information also comes from the Divine Source, God, or Collective Unconscious. Psychics, mediums and healers therefore have the natural ability to allow energy to flow through them to others, and on behalf of others.

I do not claim to know all the answers to the mysteries of the Universe, but in my experience psychic ability is hereditary. There is however much disagreement on this subject. Many in my field of work agree there is an undeniable genetic link; while some believe that psychic ability is merely developed intuition and that anyone can achieve this level of extra-sensory perception, while others are of the opinion that a combination of nature and nurture is required to produce a truly talented psychic. I also believe that 'nurture' plays a role in activating psychic genetic potential in an individual, but this does not happen by accident, or coincidence.
