“Morning” and “Afternoon” Spiritual Journeys

Whenever I’m doing a group (less than 500 people) session, or a seminar (more than 1,000 people), if I take the time to pay attention to the initial way people are applauding, it tells me a lot about them individually. Typically, I’ll take about 45 minutes talking about being a psychic, the after-life, and after-death communication. People who initially applaud enthusiastically, even wildly, will hang on to and accept every word I’m saying. People are applauding “warmly” are letting me know that they’re open, but not real sure about me, or what I have to say. People who aren’t applauding at all were usually brought there by someone else (typically, these are men dragged there by their wives or girlfriends).

I’ve been thinking a lot about this over the last week because of the clients I did readings for and what came out of them.

In my private practice, I don’t like people to tell me anything about themselves, other than their name. The reason  for this is because I do what I call a “book flap” reading which usually lasts anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. During that time I take a look at what’s going on in their lives, I bring up what I’m getting and we discuss it. The concerns my clients have tell me a lot about where they are in their spiritual journey.

It hit me yesterday that there’s almost a “Before” and “After” period in people’s lives. In this “before” period, people are typically living their lives from their fears, not their truth.

For men in the “before” period, they’re mostly concerned about –

1. Wealth
2. Adventure
3. Achievement
4. Pleasure
5. Being respected

For women, they’re mostly concerned, about –

1. Family
2. Independence
3. Career
4. Fitting in
5. Appearance

If they’re in what I’m referring to as the “After” period of their lives, where their priorities shift and they’re living their lives with a sense of “mission” and less from fear. Men are more concerned about  –

1. Spirituality
2. Personal peace
3. Family
4. God’s will
5. Honesty

For women, their concerns center around –

1. Their own personal growth
2. A sense of self esteem
3. Spirituality
4. Happiness
5. Forgiveness

Where are you in the journey? Just something to think about.

I feel your peace.
