Tarot Learning vs Psychic Abilities Metaphysical Questions

 Do you have a question? 


How to activate psychic abilities.

What is my purpose in life?
What happens after death?
Is this a spiritual gift or karmic connection?
What zodiac sign is best for me?
What happens when a pet dies?

I have been trained since birth by Spiritual Masters. They have trained me in the Spiritual Laws and I have helped thousands of people find answers to their questions by shifting their perspective. When you learn to see the world through the lens of soul, you will detach and find peace.

So email your questions or message them to me through facebook: astrologyandmore (@) gmail.com or

I am collecting these for a new book I am writing, so while I am helping you, I will also be able to help many more people who will read the book

Here is a question I recently received about psychic abilities & the tarot.

Q: Is Tarot reading successful due to the studied format or thru the psychic ability?

A: It is usually a combination of these two things. Everyone is psychic as soul is who we are, not something we own. But because we are in physical vehicles (the human body in our case) we are focused here in the physical plane of consciousness. We of course shift our focus throughout the day and in our sleep. But most humans focus in the three lower planes of consciousness, these being the astral or emotional state, mental or mind state and the higher part of the mental which is known as the causal plane or timeline. 

When we have psychic moments, our consciousness shifts to one of these levels and thus we can have what is known as a psychic moment. When we shift to the causal we may see the future. When we shift in the astral, we scan energy patterns and learn all kinds of information about someone or perhaps find ourselves connecting with individuals who are no longer in the physical form. We all have these "psychic" moments. 

But when we take time to learn the tarot, which are cards that actually synthesize pages of an ancient book of wisdom, we learn how to trust and open and thus our psychic nature is enhanced. 

It all comes down to trust and trust is something we earn as we experience. So a good teacher will help you learn and as you learn, what you discover is not just the meaning of cards, but of the basis of the creation of this plane of consciousness and all the levels that are part of it. As you learn these things and work with the cards, you learn to open to knowledge that may seem to come from nowhere. Instead of from the subconscious, you learn access the super conscious and to trust it. This is the key to all psychic development. To trust what you hear and follow a path to see its logic or truth in the physical. The more you see the truth in what you are being told, the more you learn to trust it. 

The gift of the tarot, is that it has a basis that you can fall back on to check yourself, and to make sure you are understanding what you are receiving. For example, someone calls you and asks, will my husband get the job he just applied for? You may feel a strong yes or no, or you may hear a phone ring and feel a sense of exhilaration, or you may feel sadness.. or hear a voice saying yes.. or so many other instantaneous experiences may come through when the person asks the question or even just before they ask it. But you say nothing, instead you ask Spirit to give you the information through the tarot. There in the card or cards you pull you see the story that confirms exactly what you received before you opened the deck. 

Having this type of experience, builds confidence in your abilities and confirms them. Eventually you will be tested to discern the difference between your mind spewing info and your higher self. For most students this can take two years but when you use the tarot properly, you can learn it very quickly.

Astrology, Metaphysics & Spiritual Tips

Please join me at my grand opening of my new Fan Page from 8 - 9 pm PT, Feb 8th, doing a teleconference about Astrology, Tarot, Archetypes & Metaphysical Mentoring to introduce everyone to my upcoming courses. 

Conference call number is: 1 (218) 339-2699 Code: 107110

Courses will be small and limited, so if you think you want to join me, please send me a message and I will add you to my list. 

Class fees can be paid by check or online through Paypal. 

Class Sessions: 
Mentoring is weekly for 8 weeks; 
Beginning Astrology is 13 weeks; 
Intermediate Astrology is the 1st & 3rd week each month - ongoing &
Secrets of The Tarot runs 10 weeks. 

Here is a brief description of each course: 

Mentoring Course - 8 weeks

I have found that despite teaching clients or friends techniques to get beyond their 

• fear of lack, 
• fear of loss of love, job, home, or money, 
• fear of age loss, 
• fear of memory loss, 
• fear of being wealthy, 
• fear of asking for something which leaves less for someone more worthy,   
• fear of dying, 
• fear of speaking in public, 
• fear of being left alone, 
• fear of unworthiness, 
• fear of going to hell, 

Or the techniques to:

• Attract money,
• Attract abundance,
• Attract love,
• Become self-confidant,
• Increase health,
• Increase awareness,
• Increase intuition,
• Increase love,
• Release anxiety,
• Release overwhelm,
• Be grateful for everything;

Despite all these techniques that may have been given, most people do not have the staying power to complete the cycle so that these issues never return. Instead what most people do, is they use the technique for a while till they feel better, then they sail along for awhile, then they start to sink again and need to start over with another phone call. 

So based on this, I am now starting a mentoring course. 

In this course I will be there for everyone:

• Once each week on a teleconference, 
• Once each week online, 

If you attend each class, actively participate by honestly voicing your fears and needs, I guarantee:

• I will help you keep your focus, 
• I will help you achieve what you are aiming to achieve, 
• This course will change you life, and 
• In 8 weeks, you will attain stability in the area of life you have been focusing. 

I believe sometimes we need to have someone there who will give us support and continue to physically point the way. Someone who will help us re-balance and re-focus through simple loving techniques and guidance. Someone who has worked with thousands of people and knows the pitfalls as soon as we speak. 

The mentoring course requires your commitment to eight weeks. Less than this will not get you what you need. After the first eight weeks you can decide if you feel you want to continue or if you feel you are set in creating the life you want. 

Most people will want to continue because once we get one area of our lives working the way we want it, we realize there are other areas we could use support with. So that option will remain open. But in all cases a course is eight week long. 

Classes run 1 hour, the student will call a teleconference number, so please be prepared to pay for this phone call. Each class will include a meditation, an EFT session, and personal reviews, exercises and techniques to realign each student with their goals. 

What you don't see. Each student will be part of my prayer connection. I will work with you on the inner as well as on the outer to achieve your goals. This cannot be seen, but it will give you strength and will assist you to take the steps and keep the focus to make a stable change. 

Fee is $134. You can pay by check or online through paypal. 

I will post more on the following classes soon:

Beginning Astrology - 10 weeks

Intermediate Astrology - twice a month, ongoing

Enlightenment Through The Tarot - 

The Laws of Silence & Non - Interference

I recently received a question that ran something like this:

I have Spiritual or Other-Worldly Experiences but when I mention these to my family, they tell me it's only my imagination or a dream. I am sure they are real, but after talking with family, I find myself wondering.

Here is my reply:

As for family and what they think or say, time will eventually bring them around. Though that may be lifetimes later.

Never allow the limitations of others to influence you. Because their experiences are not yours, this does not make yours less real. There is a Spiritual Law that states: "When You Know - You Know." No one can take your experience from you - or for that matter, your power - unless you allow them.

Because you want your family to love you, and you equate their words with their love, you throw away your truth. Change this. Accept their love, and honor them. You need to realize that since they do not understand your experiences they automatically place them into a category that works for them. That is fine.

Compare this to working with a little child. You can explain to a child that the chill factor is this percent and the wind factor is that percent and thus the weather is developing into a rainstorm, but all they can hold in their mind is - I need to take an umbrella. All that other stuff is simply not part of their reality. So too, your family cannot understand your reality, thus they classify it into something they can understand - imagination or a dream.

Stand in your power, know who you are, be who you are, and love everyone despite how they respond to your experiences.

Eventually you will learn The Law Of Silence.

The Law Of Silence teaches you to abide implicitly by The Law of Non-Interference.

We invade someone's space when we give them more information than they are ready or willing to take in. Your family is not ready for this information. When they are, they will come to you and ask.

To give someone information before they are ready, is not only an invasion of their space, but it also can disturb their universe, thus creating a karmic issue for you.

It is much better to live by The Law Of Silence, give information when asked, share when the door is open, and leave the rest alone.

Since I believe this information may be helpful to others, I have posted here today.

Blessing to all, may you honor and love yourself.

You are a light to the world, the more you love and nurture you, the brighter you become!

Well here is a quick update and the latest news.

As for GreeHee Publishing, we are embarking on the audio book in two versions. One read by me, the author (I am working on acting skills to make sure you will enjoy the read) and the one I am really excited about - a full theatrical production by actors. Hopefully both will be available by late summer, or early Fall.

Trading card news, my artists are still hard at work getting these done, we now have an image of the malevolent Tana! I will post that soon.

What is a Metaphysical Minister?

You ask what is a Metaphysical Minister, I will do my best to explain. Please ask further questions once you have read this, so I add more clarification in future blogs.

A metaphysical minister is one who lives by the Spiritual Laws and counsels others so they can attain clear thinking in their lives.

Frequently emotional issues and confusing situations are the result of a dis-connection between one's heart (soul center) and the mind. Then the mind takes over with fears and others opinions creating confusion and disharmony in the body. A Metaphsycial Minister helps one sort that out and rediscover or reconnect with the true self - soul.

It does not have anything to do with dogma or religion. Thus it honors everyone's path knowing that every path is valuable and that each individual aligns themselves in the most harmonious way (at least that is what we hope for - though often the choice of path is fostered upon the individual through parentage or peer pressure)

You may ask what exactly is metaphysics, or what are the Spiritual Laws? Both valid and excellent questions.

Metaphyscis - is a combinations of Greek words - Meta meaning beyond and physics - things relating to, or part of the physical world. In todays world metaphysics loosely means subjects that relate to things beyond the physical world.

A Metaphysician is a person who studies and works with subjects beyond this world. This of course would include the Spiritual Laws - the laws of creation, manifestation, and karma.

When we understand and live by the Spiritual Laws, we live in harmony with life, maintaining balance. This alignment creates what I call, 'Right Thinking.'

That of course may sound like there is an opposite, 'Wrong Thinking,' but actually that would not be quite correct. Instead the proper term would be, 'imbalanced Thinking.'

An example of this would be, when an individual personalizes what another says to them.

When we take words in and find ourselves lacking we do harm to ourselves. We need to learn to listen to the other individual with an open mind, and to ask questions in a way that honors the others opinions before falling into a personalized posture, which will result in either folding into ourselves feeling a sense of failure, or taking the opposite approach of striking out in defense.

This is what a Metaphysical Minister does. They help an individual unravel experiences and offer techniques the individual can use to create a more balanced, harmonious life.
