The world is changing.                                  Time is not on our side!
We were always told that 2012 would be the end of the world, but perhaps that ending has a very different meaning than we assumed.
Subtle changes that began at the start of the year appear to be stepping up as we move into spring and summer, I believe that on a lot of fronts we will never be able to live our life in quite the same way that we have before. On a purely materialistic level, we will no longer be able to take for granted the things that we have in the past. Earth is running out of her resources because we have always robbed her mercilessly, and now we need to learn to use & reuse everything as many times as possible.
Even water a most basic commodity is becoming more and more difficult, and they speak of real water and food shortages as the century goes on.
This is time to look at things from a different perspective and in more realistic ways, to create what we really need in our lives and perhaps in doing so, enjoy life more, live more ' in the moment' than we have ever done before.
Psychically things are also challenging, many psychics have used their psychic abilities for many years in a very natural and easy going way now suddenly find that this too has changed,  we must be very precise, totally honest about the way we help people who come to us for help. The information given must not be conjecture, but honest psychic and clairvoyant information which comes truly from the clairvoyant heart.
When I was young, it was 'special' to have psychic ability and  not that common, those of us who believed that we had, would train ourselves for many years before even thinking of offering our skills to the world. I myself have been a professional psychic and tarot reader for over 30 years now, and I am still learning! But now there is so much information available  anyone who wishes to be psychic can build up some small skills easily from all the information that is so open to them to a certain extent.
True psychic power however manifests in small but important everyday ways, it also gives a psychic connection to all  round the person, whether it be other people, places, things or particularly nature. Most truly psychic people are very connected to nature because in other times and another places they would have been considered witches! They are always animal orientated and aware of 'other realms'
So the word 'psychic' itself is changing! It would seem now that to simply buy a book telling you how to read tarot, attend a one-day course on 'psychic development', watch lots of psychic programmes on the television is all that is needed to make you A PSYCHIC!
But this is not how it works, truly! Many people suspect that they have natural ability, indeed they may have, I often meet people through my work who I discussed this with, they all ask me how they can enhance it. The difficulty is that they may not be able to consciously, but simply by being very aware of what is around them and  opening their eyes to the world! Being truly psychic and being a good psychic requires a loss of ego! Just the same as any other magical discipline or healing discipline does.
Once you see things outside you as  there for your use then you may as well give up! If you can create a humility and work from that point of view (no ego) then there is the chance that you will may succeed.
True psychic ability does not come from books or from watching people like Colin Fry, Sally Morgan or Derek Acorah on the television... it is not possible to become psychic simply by association! The true psychic will be able to simply touch your hand and suddenly become aware of a wealth of information about you personally. I say many times in talks and lectures. Think twice before you shake hands with a true psychic, you are simply opening the book and letting them read your life!
Psychic ability is something very special, I believe all of us are born with a certain amount, but like many other gifts, some of us develop it and some others do not. But to develop it takes time, patience, soul-searching and humility above all.
If you are very lucky and you know a true psychic well enough, feel very honoured if they decide to take you under their wing. But never ask! If they decide to help you it will be their decision alone.
I believe in the next few years many of the so-called modern psychic practices will be discredited, I believe that it is already happening to some extent over the past year. And I believe the true and hereditary psychics who usually have more than an ability to know things, many of who are actually also Mages, and can alter cause-and-effect or even make physical changes to a situation using only the mind, will once again claim their place in our world as people who open the door, and let us glimpse the future. Who teaches us how to deal with certain situations. Who creates situations to ease our passage through life, and whose special abilities put the Magic back into our everyday lives, by just 'being there'!
