195 – Everything

I am The Mom and ... almost everything drives me crazy.

My range of crazy goes from dirty dishes to dirty rotten people. I don’t like either. But then again, it could be a perception issue. I should be thankful for indoor plumbing; and maybe that scoundrel has a hint of good inside them. Maybe.

When The Boy was twelve he pestered the daylights out of me to watch a movie.

“Mom, you gotta see Wreck-It Ralph! It is soooo good!”

After seventeen years of watching kid movies, I groaned at the thought of another one. “Ugh. Why? Why do I have to? Can’t you just see it with your friends. Isn’t that enough?”

The Boy answered, “No, it’s not.”

So I broke down and watched the movie about a video game villain who was tired of being viewed as, well, … a villain. Unfortunately, during Wreck-It Ralph’s quest to prove he’s a good guy, he makes a small mistake that almost sends multiple game systems and their characters into extinction. One lousy mistake. Poof. Gone. Or, one good choice. Poof. Saved.

The Boy understood the movie more than I did. In fact, he complained repeatedly about it only winning “Best Animated Feature” at the Golden Globe and Academy Awards, and not “Best Feature.”

This morning, before I wrote my part in our blog, that story about The Boy and Wreck-It Ralph jumped inside of my head and would not leave, so I thought I should revisit it. And when I did I finally realized this …

Everything touches everything.

The Mystic Hairdresser writes ...

Can we talk about ... everything?

Numerous times on the blog, you’ve read, “Everything is connected.” I’ve said it. I’m sure The Mom has said it, too. It seems a simple enough concept, but if you really think about it, those three words are truly one, inconceivably, gargantuan statement!

Most people don’t register what “Everything” ultimately means. We put parameters on it, like everything on the planet, or everything in the living room, or everything in my life ... But, that statement – “Everything is connected” – literally means Everything. I’m talking about every ant, grain of sand, and human being, down to every cell in every blade of grass, and all the way out to every particle of dust in the cosmos.

Conceivably, a person could connect, one on one, with anything or anyone they want by extending their energy along the lines of energy that connects everything, until they touch whatever or whomever they’re looking for.

Eventually, a person, especially someone with a psychic quirk, could pinpoint anything. However, given little direction and idea of where to focus the energy, reaching the target will go much more smoothly and their aim will be far more accurate.

183 – How do you make a choice?

We see what we want to see.

We believe what we want to believe.

The holidays were a mixed bag of everything from crazy busy to crashed-on-the-couch relaxing (my favorite). In between the two, we played dominoes and answered questions from a stack of cards called TableTopics that arrived as a present. It was a great gift, because I enjoy a good conversation better than chocolate. The questions ranged from – “What do you love about your hometown?” – to – “What is more powerful, belief or knowledge?”

To the latter, I said, “Belief is more powerful, because knowledge seems controlled and dogmatic, and belief is creatively infinite. After all, we can believe anything we choose to believe all the time, even about knowledge.”

When The Boy was eleven, we wrestled and sword fought each other. (They were soft NERF weapons.) Neither of us showed the other mercy, until someone was injured.

The Boy stopped. “I’m so sorry, Mom. Are you ok?”

I buckled over and grabbed my hand. “Yeow, that one hurt!”

He dropped his sword, and said, “Let me heal you.”

“It’s ok.” (But still throbbing.)

The Boy insisted, “Please, let me heal you.”

“Ok, do it.”

The Boy placed his hands on my injury, and I felt a glow of heat as he concentrated. When The Boy was finished, he asked, “How’s that?”

“Hmm, better. Yeah, pain is gone.”

The Boy sighed in relief, “Thank God! Do you think we could play again?”

I replied, “Heck no.” Pointing to my inner thigh, I added, “I want to lie down and see what you can do about this varicose vein.”

“Ew! I’m not touching it!”

I pleaded with him, and The Boy agreed reluctantly to heal my bulging blue vein. The next morning it was flat, and more faded. To this day, I’m not sure how that worked. Was it because The Boy had the ability (knowledge), or did I heal myself by thinking (belief) he could do it?

The choice was mine and still is.

I asked The Mystic Hairdresser … How do you make decisions?

Quite a few years ago, I took my own advice from one of our blog posts, and gave some serious thought to how I make decisions. As it turned out, I discovered I have a basic sliding scale method, which I use for making choices, that I hadn’t ever consciously acknowledged!

The scale is one to ten, with one being the absolute best thing that can happen; five being slightly positive, but only if you really look for it; six being slightly negative, but only if you really look for it; and ten being a negative consequence that you have to live with for the rest of your lifetime and, perhaps, even beyond.

Because this is a duality, using my scale means that you should always have two numbers to weigh against each other. You have to look at both sides of the coin – the positive consequence possibility and the negative consequence possibility.

It’s for this very reason that I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. On the positive side, I could carry through with my resolution and be very pleased with the result. On the negative side, I could fail to keep my resolution and beat myself up for it all year.

I figure there are plenty of people, institutions, and other entities who are more than willing to beat me up for the least failure or slight I may commit. I see no need to set a scenario into motion whereby I may end up doing that to myself.

That’s just me, though. If resolutions work for you, or it’s worth the risk to you, I wish you success!

184 – Belief, knowledge and healing

“How’s The Boy?”

The Mystic Hairdresser asked about him often and did so a day after The Boy healed my NERF sword injury that happened in our basement playroom.

I told her, “It was kind of amazing.” No, I wasn’t bleeding to death. But it hurt like hell, and the pain was removed by his hands instantaneously without a bruise.

The Mystic Hairdresser said, “I saw yellow patches on my daughters brain when she was ten. I knew she was suffering from a lack of oxygen. I looked at her and could tell she was in an ongoing asthma attack, so I rushed her to the hospital. They were going to put her on a respirator, but I worked on her. I psychically opened up her passageways. Twice this happened. The healing ability is a big thing, and it is extraordinarily real. It works very well on kids, because they don’t have any blocks against it.”

“Because adults don’t believe, it creates a block?” I asked.

“Yes.”

My son could heal. And The Mystic Hairdresser said, “Everyone can, but we must be open to it. However, what we need to understand is – not everyone wants to be healed.”

The Mystic Hairdresser writes ...

In the interest of adding some food for thought to the conversation, I’d like to offer another perspective to The Mom’s response to the TableTopics game question she spoke of in last Friday's post (183 – How do you make a choice?), “What is more powerful, belief or knowledge?”

My answer to that question would be – belief and knowledge have a symbiotic relationship. Neither is definitively more powerful than the other.

To clarify, I am speaking of symbiotic in terms of both definitions of the word, which are somewhat contradictory. In biology, symbiotic means two or more organisms that co-exist in the same environment, but their relationship does not necessarily benefit any or all of them. In casual conversation, symbiotic means a mutually beneficial relationship.

Belief and knowledge can aid and assist one another but, they can also thwart and limit each other.

The Boy does have the knowledge he can heal. Otherwise, he would not have chosen the words, “Let me heal you.” The Mom obviously believes The Boy can heal. Otherwise, she would not have given him her hand and then pleaded with him to extend his power to heal more than he had offered to do.

The Mom said: “I pleaded with him, and The Boy agreed reluctantly to heal my bulging blue vein. The next morning it was flat, and more faded. To this day, I’m not sure how that worked. Was it because The Boy had the ability (knowledge), or did I heal myself by thinking (belief) he could do it?

The choice was mine and still is.”

I propose that the reason it worked is not necessarily a choice between The Boy’s knowledge and The Mom’s belief, but rather, the combined symbiotic relationship of the two. If either one of those aspects had been absent, or, if either had been the opposite perspective, as in not believing or not knowing, the result most likely would have been quite different.

134 – Parenting the kids

The Mystic Hairdresser would call and say, “Do you have a few minutes?”

And, somehow we’d be on the phone for nearly two hours. The conversations could be on anything from coping with divorce and feelings of rejection to parenting The Sister (an empath) and The Boy (a psychic). Sometimes we’d defer to sharing recipes, or how soap is made, just to take a break from heavy topics.

Overall, I sensed she was counseling me. The Mystic Hairdresser would begin with a story, and I’d listen with skepticism that often grew defensive, “I’m doing the best I can here! I mean, there aren’t exactly support groups for parenting empathic and psychic children. Our pediatrician doesn’t even know!”

Her response was almost always ... patiently direct.

After forty-five minutes of scribbling notes on whatever paper I could find in the junk drawer, I sighed, “How am I going to remember all of this stuff?”

The Mystic Hairdresser replied, “You will.”

“Right.”

She continued, “You’re like a sponge. Think of everything you’ve soaked up the past couple of years ... the new outlooks and perspectives on life. You are more open now than you’ve ever been, even when you thought you were before.”

That was four years ago.

And now, we reach out to you.

The Mystic Hairdresser addresses ... Parenting the kids

The one thing we haven’t really discussed regarding kids who have psychic “gifts” is self evident, yet can be overlooked when the focus is on the abilities they have that make them different. As a parent of a special child you may find it exasperating, or even confusing, especially if you’re concerned about how to parent your special child.

It’s simple. They’re kids. They may be able to see dead people; or tell the future accurately; or know things about others they shouldn’t have reason to know; but, they’re still just kids.

As children, they have all the same attributes, trials and tribulations as any other child. They want to be accepted, loved and secure in their families. They want to be like other children their age. They worry about what their peers think of them. They have personal dreams and aspirations. They want to find a mate. They want to be successful. They have worldly desires. Simply put, they’re human.

As humans, they have to go through all the same psychological, emotional and physical development changes that everyone else does. And, like everyone else, it’s these things that fill the majority of their lives and thoughts.

The psychic stuff is in addition to all that. It’s a little like living in two realities at once and having to divide yourself between the two. In the best case scenario, through the maturation process, they will learn, with your support and guidance, to bring the two together.

So, when your psychic son, who just had a conversation with you, clearly demonstrating his intimate knowledge of the esoteric, inner workings of The Universe, promptly goes into the bathroom and pees on the toilet seat after you’ve told him two thousand times to lift it up first, rest assured, he’s perfectly normal.

If it’s your daughter you have these conversations with, don’t think that means you’ll get to skip the dramatic, emotional, meltdowns over seemingly nothing. Through adolescence, she’ll be on the same hormonal, emotional, roller coaster as every other girl. It’s normal.

The most sage parenting advice I can give parents of special children is to remember ... as wonderful, extraordinary, and special as these kids may be, they’re kids first.

148 – There's a reason you are reading this

There are people we click with the moment we meet them.

The friend, who’s been sharing her story, was one of those people for me.

Funny thing too, we never really spent that much time together, because I graduated high school a few years before she did. To stay in touch, we wrote letters (on paper, via snail mail) ... lots of them. We vented, confessed, and let our souls hang out to dry on tree pulp. Then, after serving in each other’s weddings, life happened and we lost touch.

Many years passed, more life happened and before I knew it, I was involved with a project that would take me back to the long lost friend. The Mystic Hairdresser said, “They’re showing me a blog. We need to do a blog.” With some reluctance from me, we still manage to launch this website, which I posted on Facebook. That’s when my friend quietly began to follow Conversations With a Mystic Hairdresser, and quietly began to notice her own awareness which led to a shift.

And now, I am wondering if there are others lurking in the shadows, reading this blog while growing more attuned each day. What if they came forward and shared their stories? Would it be weird? Or, would it be common?

I’m gambling on the latter – this is becoming more common.

I asked my longtime friend ...

Have you had unusual experiences while you were awake?

“About a month ago, I was walking from my hallway to the laundry room, it was as if I passed through a different dimension and heard a woman’s voice. There were people in the background talking. It was brief and didn’t really have any negative emotion around it at all and it didn’t even cause much of a reaction until I was unloading the dryer and I thought, “Did that really just happen?” Then, I wanted to go back and do it again because I was afraid I missed something.

“A week ago, I was in the basement with our puppy. It was the middle of the day, so everyone was either at school or work. Something came down the stairs and both the dog and I looked. It wasn’t that I heard someone walking exactly, but there was a sound and something moved down the stairs and then just faded away. I caught a glimpse of motion at the foot of the stairs, but I could not make out a shape. After a few seconds of watching, both the dog and I just went about our business. Again, it took me a few minutes to realize what had just happened. There was no fear in either the dog or me, so I can only assume that whatever it was that I saw and heard was either friendly or just passing through.

“However, every once in a while, our puppy will look off into a corner and bark. He usually only barks when he needs to go outside; or when he’s up on the couch and wants to make sure you see him breaking the rules; and, apparently, when he sees something invisible that he doesn’t like. That last one makes the hair on my neck and arms stand up. I have to tell you, it isn’t that he can see something I can’t; it’s that he doesn’t LIKE what he sees that makes my adrenaline rush.”

Does anyone else know you are an empath?

“I seem to be a magnet for people. I must have a sign on my head that says ‘I’m friendly, you can tell me anything, dump your problems and your secrets with me.’ I usually don’t mind, but I have recognized that not everyone is a secret keeper. It’s been like that all my life.

“I do have one friend who knows that I am an empath. Her gifts are different from mine, but similar enough that we can have conversations about our experiences. I have not told anyone else and would not have told her if she hadn’t addressed me first.

“Although, reading the blog made me wonder about myself, it wasn’t until she asked me about it and explained her gift that I knew for certain that what I have (being an empath) is real. Since then, I’ve had new and wonderful experiences that I certainly would not have had without the blog and my friend opening me up to all the possibilities.

“This might seem conflicted with my statement that I didn’t know I had a gift until I started reading this blog, but as crazy as it sounds, it has been like peeling an onion and it feels like I am becoming more aware in layers. I do not hide this from people because I am embarrassed, or insecure about my gift or ability, it’s just that I think people would find it a bit unsettling to know that I can tell when they are upset, conflicted, unhappy ... whatever the case may be.”

The friend continued …

“I get the feeling that all these [blog] ‘lurkers’ feel separate. I know I have always felt different in a way that is hard to explain. It is kind of like watching the world through glass sometimes and I usually get this feeling when I am at big gatherings. Not concerts or public places, those are some of my favorite places to go because I love to watch people. It’s the parties that I have trouble with. The places where I’m surrounded by acquaintances and I am expected to make small talk for hours. It’s exhausting to me. I always assumed it was because of my chronic pain, but now that the pain is mostly under control, I still feel that way.

“Now it (being empathic) makes sense to me why it’s so hard. I never have been one for small talk because it’s so fake, and I’m not being judgy here, people aren’t being fake. I just feel the next layer, so all the chit chat seems totally unnecessary. It’s distracting to me actually because it doesn’t mean anything.

“I have no idea where I’m going with that paragraph, but it’s been bouncing around in my head all morning so there you go. I’m off to try to put some sense of order in the boys’ bedrooms. Wish me luck and a strong stomach, one room smells like a goat.”

228 – The path to having what you don’t want

I happen to be very good at attracting exactly what I don’t want.

Would you like to know my secret?

When I don’t want something, I think about not wanting it so much that it happens. (It’s a talent.) For example, I have not wanted: parking tickets; flat tires; arguments; and to run into people I know while grocery shopping without makeup. Yet, I have achieved all of those things.

Let me share a more specific story with you …

When I was in high school our family dinner dynamic changed over night when three of six kids moved out of our house to pursue school, work, or marriage. Suddenly, there was room at the table and that space was filled with a clunky (tube) TV, so my dad could watch the nightly news. The man had a long day and just wanted to see what was happening in the world while eating dinner (nothing personal).

However, I was a teenager and I wanted to talk (about me), but we couldn’t because … “Shh, listen. I need to hear this,” happened instead.

The experience made me feel frustrated, so I declared, “I will never have a TV playing during family dinner when I grow up! We will have good conversation!”

Only … we didn’t.

When I grew up and married (a man who rarely spoke), then had children to share our family dinner hour, it was virtually silent. Our conversations were brief about surface stuff we did that day. We never delved into meaty topics, social issues, or (brace yourself) … feelings.

We ate and said nothing. And my two kids (one psychic, one empathic) could hear and feel this mom’s tension over the lack of engagement. In the end, I created a negative experience that they may not want to repeat in their own future. In fact, my children may choose to dine over the kitchen sink when they have families, which may present another problem for their kids to “correct.”

Will we ever get it right? (If there is such a thing.)

A reader shared …

“I had a conversation with someone recently about how I have tried not to repeat the same behaviors I experienced as a child growing up. I have not repeated those behaviors, but seem to have had the same outcome that I was trying to avoid. Which is mind blowing and more than unsettling. By trying to not do something, I took a different path and did it anyway. Did I not notice because I was so focused on one particular behavior?”

The reader asked The Mystic Hairdresser … Am I destined to repeat the cycle?

It would be so easy to put the blame on fate, but this sort of pattern repetition is, by far, more about psychology than destiny.

People gravitate toward the familiar, even when they think they won’t. That’s why children of alcoholics, even if they don’t drink, will often marry an alcoholic. Human beings are adaptable to a fault. We can make do in horrible situations. We go back to them or create them, even if it’s unconsciously, because we know what to expect in that situation. It’s breaking the pattern that is the most scary thing to do.

Behavioral over compensation can also cause the very thing you’re trying to avoid. It’s easy to forget that the people you interact with as an adult, or your own children, did not have the same experience you did. They don’t see your behavior as rectifying. They don’t appreciate what you’re not doing to them. They only experience the result of the over compensating, opposite behavior.

The way I see it, if this has anything to do with destiny, perhaps it was your destiny to create the opportunity to truly change a pattern. Now that you recognize it in yourself, you can examine what caused the rerun and take responsibility for changing it.

197 – A reason for everything

As parents, we should want to know.

We should want to know: what our kids are watching on TV; what they are doing on the Internet; who their friends are; and if “someone” is visiting them in their room, especially if they were uninvited. However, if you are a parent who does not want to know about their child, and what is going on in their life, then you may want to stop reading this blog. You won’t like it. It’s too direct, and may make you feel uncomfortable.

And just because your kid may be going through “something” that makes them feel uncomfortable, doesn’t mean you have to be.

Or, does it?

Breaking out of old thought patterns can be, well, uncomfortable. As The Mystic Hairdresser has said, “It’s not the learning, but the unlearning.” And nothing made me unlearn faster than learning my kid could see “people” and “stuff” that I couldn’t see. Nothing.

It was that nothing ... that changed everything.

The Mystic Hairdresser writes ...

There is also a reason for “everything,” which is one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about what the concept of “everything” means last Friday.

I mentioned how we can travel along those lines of energy which connect everything and connect with someone or something specific. Those lines are like telephone lines; they go both ways. Others can “call” you the same way you can “call” them.

This is the experience the kids have that seems to get the parents the most up in arms. Their kids see “dead” people and often, whether the kids mention it or not, they see other entities that don’t necessarily have a definition.

Monday’s post was about the parent of young man who has these experiences; The Boy had, and I suspect still has, these experiences; and I have seen spirits and other unexplainable things for decades. Truth be known, you’ve probably experienced a few incidents, too. Perhaps you’ve walked into a room and smelled your mother’s perfume, or unmistakably heard someone you know say your name in a dream.

There is a distinct difference between what the kids (and I) experience, and what the average person experiences, that poses a perplexing question. The question is whether or not these energies are always present and the kids specifically have an extraordinary ability to see them, or whether or not the entities seek the kids out purposely because they're aware they can see them.

I don’t have a solid answer. I do know I see them when others don’t and so do the kids. I also know that, if I’m with two other people and one of them is like The Boy, we’ll see the same thing, even though the third person is oblivious. I also know that if there is a large group of people gathered together who have this “gift” of seeing, the number of entities increases exponentially. What I don’t know about any of these events is: why?

116 – Healing from love relationships

The Mystic Hairdresser writes ...

The Mom and one of our readers has asked me to address possible paths to healing from injuries incurred in romantic/love relationships.

My answer will not be the currently popular, social rhetoric: “do what you have to do to be true to yourself”; or, “love conquers all”; or, “it’s all okay as long as you’re happy.” I won’t say any of that, because in relationships those things are only half of the equation and are extraordinarily egocentric.

Romantic love relationships are about two people. Good romantic love relationships are also about balance – in all aspects of the relationship. That doesn’t mean everything has to be 50-50. It means everything has to be balanced. What constitutes balance in any relationship changes constantly and relentlessly. Maintaining balance is damn hard, never ending work. Being in love with a person makes compromise and forgiveness possible as long as there is balance.

When you enter into a romantic relationship, you should know going in, you will sustain injuries and you will inflict injuries. If this doesn’t happen, at least one of you hasn’t completely, emotionally opened up to the relationship. If it never happens, neither of you are in a romantic relationship at all. Rather, you’ve entered into a business arrangement.

Recovery from being hurt by your partner and from inflicting emotional pain on your partner has to begin the same way recovering from alcoholism does. You have to acknowledge your personal responsibility in the result, whether you’re the one injured or the one doing the injuring.

There are reasons why you behave and make the choices you do, even if they stem all the way back to events in your childhood. Regardless of where the crux of the problem began, you are a participant in the current relationship. In at least some respect, you are responsible for all the outcomes on both sides, as is the other party.

Others can help by sending you healing energy, prayer, strength and verbal support (only if they're totally honest), but the only path to true healing is deep, self-introspection that ultimately leads to understanding and the opportunity to avoid repeating the painful behavior.

What I'm suggesting is much easier said than done. M. Scott Peck, M.D. (psychiatrist) wrote a book that explains what I'm talking about much better than I have: The Road Less Traveled(published 1978). This book is not specific to romantic relationships, but rather all relationships, including the one with yourself and a higher power. It does have a Christian religious foundation to it, but it was also written by a psychiatrist. The information is applicable to real life, beyond religious belief, and well worth the read whether you're Christian or not.

A reader submitted this ...

“I am wracked with guilt and confusion after falling in love with two people at once, and leaving the original person for a new life path that at times seemed to be more in line with my ... true self or purpose.

“But, I have no idea really. Both could be, or could have been ... I am mourning my original planned path with a person I loved that all seems lost now, fearing the new journey that is coming and feeling ... somewhat excited as well.

“Yet, I hate myself and doubt everything I do, choose, or want; particularly I question if my own love is real or if it is a selfish facade.

“Why do these things happen and how can it be healed? How can clarity be reached with a slew of conflicting information from all sides?”

The Mystic Hairdresser answers ...

There could be a myriad of reasons why these things happen. What matters most are the ramifications of the choices made; the choices to come; and, more than anything else, the reasons why you make the choices you do.

I don’t see the dilemma as your having fallen in love with two people at once. If you were in love with the first, the second would have never turned your head. If you are in love with the second, there would be no question as to whether or not you’d made the correct choice. The path each offers would be irrelevant.

Furthermore, when you are truly in love with someone, at the very least, you are as concerned with their welfare as you are about your own. If you’ll reread what you’ve written, you’ll clearly see you did not once mention the other people, but only the lifestyle they offer. In a balanced, truly loving relationship, your partner will encourage you to be your “true self”; support you discovering your “purpose”; and you will do the same for them.

Perhaps you should consider what being in love with another person really is, rather than trying to decide which lifestyle offered by potential partners will excite you most and make you happiest.

135 – Things are unpredictable, until you measure them.

Why do you read this blog? Is it to find answers, or formulate new questions?

I spoke with The Mystic Hairdresser this morning regarding topics for the week after sending a few ideas yesterday. I never know what we’re going to be discussing; though there are days I yearn for an outline. She has “her people” ... and I have my hunches. (That’s what I call my psychic abilities – “hunches.”) Today we discussed Quantum Physics.

The Mystic Hairdresser asked, “Are you awake?”

I’d had one only cup of coffee and we were talking science, “Yes, barely. Go on.”

She said, “It’s human nature to do the easiest thing. That’s why when someone does something extraordinary they are so celebrated.”

I thought about Diana Nyad swimming from Cuba to Key West at 64 and not succeeding until her fifth attempt. Then, I poured myself another cup of coffee. Diana had said, “Find a way,” and I did with twelve ounces of caffeine.

The Mystic Hairdresser continued, “People need to tune into these scientist, then make up their own damn mind.”

“Uh huh.”

She said, “You know, If I’m successful at getting people to think for themselves, then it won’t be long before they start looking to me for their answers. I don’t want that!”

I replied, “You can’t control others.”

“Yes, you can! People are being controlled and manipulated all the time! The real crux is ... are you the controller, or the controlled? If a chocolate covered turd became the new superfood everyone was talking about, would you eat it?”

I laughed, “I haven’t been able to keep up with fads since Oat Bran was the rage.”

The Mystic Hairdresser spoke seriously, “Quantum Physicists are getting very close to proving that thoughts are energy. Very close.”

After our phone conversation I looked up a couple of words online ...

Quantum – 1. Quantity, amount. 2. Any of the very small increments into which many forms of energy are subdivided. Physics – 1. A science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions. Then, I read how one could be used in a sentence ... “The sum of human knowledge is now so immense that even a highly educated person can only hope to absorb only a tiny quantum of it.”

Tell me about it.

I asked The Mystic Hairdresser to expand on this idea where Quantum Physics says: Things are unpredictable, until you measure them. She wrote …

What I’m referring to here is how test results in Quantum Physics are effected by human thought. If a machine measures random marks during an experiment, the results vary. If a human does the measuring, the results are different. [SEE: Double Slit Theory]

The study of Quantum Physics is what will prove that thoughts are tangible energy. Whether, or not, the public will ever hear about that is another matter.

The Mystic Hairdresser sited a television show hosted by Morgan Freeman called Through The Wormhole. More specifically, she suggested readers watch this episode – Is Time Travel Possible? Why? You ask.

Because, you need to think for yourself.

209 – An inter-dimensional heritage and such

Is this all there is?

Wake, eat, work, sleep, and repeat until death?

At the time The Boy revealed his secret, which was, “I saw someone,” (a dead someone) I had barely considered that we were on a mindless treadmill, because I too needed to wake; feed people; beg them to go to bed; then, start over. At best, I was happy to paint my toenails and flip through a magazine just once in a blue moon at the end of a long day.

It doesn’t matter now, because that robotic pattern was interrupted rather suddenly when I began talking with The Mystic Hairdresser about The Boy, which turned into one-thing-leads-to-another so fast my blonde highlights could have popped off.

My son, The Boy, saw dead people; angels; the past; the future; previous lifetimes; auras; sound (yes, he saw sound); blah, blah, blah and guess what else? The Boy saw inter-dimensional beings. (Some call them “aliens.”)

To which I said, “I’m not writing about that. No friggin’ way, not doing it.”

The Mystic Hairdresser’s reply was simple. “Yes, you will. I’ve seen it.”

Ugh. I hated when she said that. I especially hated when what she could see came true. However, before we go any further, allow me to ask you a question … Did you really believe that this is all there is? And that we are the only beings in existence? (Take your time on that one.)

A reader asked The Mystic Hairdresser …

Do souls on The Other Side communicate with other beings from other places in the universe?

This question was bound to come up. I decided, some time ago, that I would answer honestly when it did.

Everyone, not just the folks on The Other Side, communicates with beings from other places in the universe.

We're all from somewhere else. When you talk with your family members, you're more than likely communicating with someone who is descended from somewhere other than where you're from. Humanity was engineered by beings from many different places. The reason no one can find the missing link is because there isn't one. Humans did not evolve from monkeys.

Humans, and this planet, are a giant experiment that's about choice and free will. We have destroyed humanity over and over. Unfortunately, it appears as though we're going to do it again. I'd like to think that's why the kids are here now and why there are more people who have the ability to communicate with The Other Side. There is the possibility these things are happening now to turn the tide with a new perspective. At least, that's my hope.

127 – Are there outside forces influencing the direction of humanity?

“We are climbing Jacob's ladder.

Every rung goes higher and higher.

We are dancing Sarah’s circle.

Every new one makes us stronger.”

I don’t even know why I am writing these lyrics, only to say that I felt very compelled to do so. And it made me wonder if there was something, or someone, urging me ... a force (or, a soul) that I cannot see or hear.

The song references a Biblical story about Jacob seeing a staircase to Heaven in a dream. On it were angels both ascending and descending, showing a perpetual connection between Heaven and Earth.

I asked The Mystic Hairdresser ...

Are there outside forces influencing the direction of humanity?

I suppose the answer to this question depends on your definition of “outside forces.”

Have you ever had a prayer answered or not answered, which, of course, is an answer in and of itself? Did it have an effect on you? Ever consider where that influence came from?

For example, the content I contribute to this blog is definitely influenced by outside forces. I know this because I ask for it. What I say may influence one person, or one hundred people, or zero people ... The idea they formulate from that influence, or lack of influence, will influence what they share with others ...

It’s pretty common to think that it’s the collective consciousness of humanity that determines the directions we take as a group. However, it’s the collective unconsciousness that is the real determining factor. It’s the unconscious that tells you what to believe and what to reject. It's that feeling in your gut, the one that defies explanation, that you somehow know what to choose and what not to choose, that effects our individual choices the most. And, it’s individual choices that make up both the collective consciousness and unconscious.

This is a good thing to remember the next time you start thinking that what you think doesn’t matter.

If you’re thinking of “outside forces” as other entities and groups that we are not aware of, at the very least, we are being observed by those “outside forces.”

Jacob was the father of Joseph, the protagonist in a story known as Joseph and The Coat of Many Colors. (Some of you may remember the Broadway version better, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). It just so happens that Joseph had psychic abilities, and because of them he was driven away by his jealous brothers.

I’m not an expert (by any stretch) on the Bible, but I can read and think. That’s about it. When I read parts of that book, I wonder how much is literal and how much is metaphorical. Has it been tainted by the editing hand of man? Or, are there secrets to our existence hidden in the plain sight of its text? When I searched the internet for Jacob’s Ladder, I found it referenced in … electronics (used for ignition purposes); plants (a flower with a spiral leaf); insects (a spider, who spins a ladder-shaped web); art (a 19th century painting); and in human DNA (the double helix ladder).

I actually found the spiral of Jacob’s Ladder to be ... everywhere.

Now, why did I feel so compelled to write about this, today? Something tells me that Jacob’s Ladder is more than a story and a song and a frequent coincidence.

Perhaps it is about waking up to the truth of our existence, one rung at a time.

Pete Seeger singing Jacob's Ladder. Enjoy.

130 – Has it occurred that what you're doing now was preordained in your Life Plan?

I wrote The Mystic Hairdresser, “We have a deadline.”

I told her that it was official, she and I must publish the first two books in a series by the end of this year due to a long and convoluted Trademark process. (No pressure.)

The Mystic Hairdresser replied, “The purpose of the trademark was to create a deadline.”

Apparently, souls (including the two of us) who are directing this project understood what was needed – a due date. And somehow, The Mystic Hairdresser could see that when we first met in 2008. Because that’s when she told me there would be a book for the masses, and it would happen in seven to eight years. (Do the math. The first books were published at the end of 2015.)

Here we are.

The Mystic Hairdresser eventually channeled a message via email ...

The purpose: The book is written to the masses for the indigos and crystals. It’s another opening for them – through a “normal” life situation. It’s meant to speak to a group that has yet to be addressed on the subject. The group that effects their everyday, very “human” life. It’s meant to change things and open up new perspectives for those who otherwise would have never gone there.

You have viewed everything that’s happened as your experience – and it is. But it’s also the experience of your children, your ex-husband, your family, The Mystic Hairdresser, your neighbors, your acquaintances, on and on ... This very personal “happening” has already touched hundreds in some way even if it’s only by your reactions. These are the things we readily ignore in a lifetime through our egos and yet see very clearly in a life review where no ego is present.

The book is a chronicle of experience from your perspective – as it should be. The purpose, the most important reason it’s being shared, is to open the door and set the stage for the uncountable experiences the readers will have after you’ve shared your very personal experiences with them. To call attention to all the things that would have been ignored or passed off as nothing otherwise. To change the angles from which people view the same room.

A few years after The Mystic Hairdresser channeled that message, she asked me (The Mom) this question ...

Has it occurred to you that what you’re doing now, with the blog and books we’re working on, was preordained in your Life Plan?

My answer: Yes, it has.

There were things I knew about my future, innately. I would be a mom. I wanted to make a difference. I would write.

Growing up, I kept a journal that was filled with mostly grade school drama, “Oh, mah gah, she hates me.” I hid it under my mattress, even though I knew my mother still read it. As a young adult, I consumed most of Erma Bombeck’s books that were compilations of her syndicated newspaper column. (She is still my all-time favorite American, followed by Jim Henson and Mr. Rogers.)

But, that was about all I preferred reading – Erma. (Not Jane Austin.)

I never once enjoyed writing anything for teachers. Because they wanted me to write like this, “When one has a problem, then one must do something about it.” Instead I wrote, “I got a problem. What the heck?”

Therefore, I never earned an English or Literature grade above a “C” … ever.

So, here I am writing this blog and producing these books for you, as part of a preordained Life Plan (to which I am very grateful).

What the heck.

Check out the books, download a sample … read and share this story.

156 – The children will save this place

The Mystic Hairdresser said the kids would save the world.

The Boy told me his generation would be the one to fix it.

It took years for me to believe that. Years. And I based my disbelief on stuff like kids don’t pick up their messes; and, “They're so disrespectful these days.” Then, I considered that maybe I was wrong. Because even though kids don’t pick up their socks at home, I’ve noticed they don’t litter Earth as much as previous generations. And maybe there’s a reason disrespect is abundant, perhaps it’s because we (the adults) are giving it to them.

When was the last time adults surveyed students about how they'd like their schools to be? How often do we listen to a child’s definition of family? Have you ever talked to a four year-old about war, and asked a seven year-old to explain its purpose? The four year-old has never heard the word (unless they live within one); and the seven year-old says, “They just want to kill each other, I don't know why.”

Saving the world appears to be heavy business. So, what if the solution was simple?

The Boy and The Mystic Hairdresser have said, “Thoughts create reality.”

What if we chose to change our thoughts about everything? Absolutely everything. Could we create an entirely new reality?

The Mystic Hairdresser wrote ...

If any of you have asked your child if they know why they are here, and you received the answer – “I am here to save the world” – don't be afraid.

You may have immediately had visions of your young innocent son or daughter donning a super hero costume and single-handedly fighting battles, but that’s not what they mean when they say they are here to save the world.

They are here to defeat ignorance and restore balance by propagating ideals, values, knowledge and ethical concepts we have somehow forgotten. Knowledge, understanding, and a talent for teaching others to understand are the weapons they wield.

These children are stunning in their simplistic expression of what they know is right. And, they are so very convincing in their innocence, it's nearly impossible to argue with their suppositions about what the world should be like or what you, personally, should do to make it that way.

What they are not is – ambiguous. They know what they know; they know it to be true without a doubt; and they know what they're supposed to do.

If you have any doubts about whether, or not, children can save the world, watch the video below and ask yourself these questions:

How is it that a six year-old little girl has such an intimate understanding of harmony and balance?

How is it that she can express this idea so succinctly that the person she's speaking with has no misunderstanding about what she's trying to convey ... and neither do you?

Most importantly, ask yourself, why did this video go viral and why are you watching it now?

Believe it. The kids are here to save the world.

153 – Coping with fits

Those who make messes have never cleaned up someone else’s.

Let me tell you, I have thrown my share of fits over this issue too. No, I didn’t fall on the floor and convulse like a toddler who didn’t get a cookie. My fits came in the form of loud speeches with arms in the air as if addressing a rally of supporters, who tuned me out during history’s finest moment.

“Who did this? I am not cleaning it up, again!”

I was reminded of those moments by The Boy (age 16) just yesterday.

He said, “I used to measure the TV with my foot.”

“So that’s how foot prints got on the television! Did you also use your hands? Because I wiped those marks off as well.”

The Boy said, “Do you know why I did that?”

I replied rather deadpan, “No. Explain.”

“I was inventing holographic reality TV by putting both of my hands on the screen and pressing my face against it, so I could see what it was like to be inside that world.”

“Ah, yes. I remember, there were nose prints too. So, what was it like inside of that reality?”

The Boy ended our conversation with, “I can’t tell you in a way that you would understand.”

I picked up, cleaned and wiped surfaces until I broke down and threw fits. Some, of which, The Boy may have escaped by traveling through the tube. His response reminded me of what The Mystic Hairdresser had said, “The only way to deal with someone who throws fits is to leave the room, stop responding. Eventually they just wear themselves down, like a toddler.”

And I did. I wore myself down into a cup of hot tea on our front porch, alone.

I asked The Mystic Hairdresser ...

How should anyone (empathic or psychic) cope with the fits of others?

Fit throwing is not acceptable in my book, whether it be a three year-old or a grown adult. Anyone who throws fits is demanding two things from you: attention and a response.

These sorts of encounters are personal interactions, regardless of who the people are. I treat them accordingly. Consequently, my advice for dealing with these people is not exclusive to empaths or psychics – I give them what they’re asking for.

My response is to remove myself from the fit throwing person’s presence. That way, they get exactly what they want. They capture my attention long enough for me to react by refusing to be part of their audience.

Done.

162 – Taking stock of who's in control

Last Friday morning, my daughter (The Sister) interviewed me for a school project. And we discussed things related to this blog.

Without thinking, I found myself admitting that for years I didn’t believe psychics were people who came from two people; or that they had lives with struggles as the rest of us. I just thought they appeared like magic, out of thin air at circus carnivals. In fact, I used every stereotype in the book for mystical soothsayers.

Until, the day I discovered I was The Mom of one.

Today, The Mystic Hairdresser shares a routine memory about her own mom, a recollection that translates to a powerful message for all of us. Pay attention, take stock, then decide.

The Mystic Hairdresser writes ...

In last Friday’s post, The Mom wrote: The Boy has said, “You are the remote control to your life.”

When I read that statement, two things immediately came to mind: How profound these kids can be and poignant memories of watching television with my mother.

It’s been nearly fifteen years since I’ve had the privilege of visiting my mom and watching a little TV with her. (I didn’t realize it was a privilege then.) I still distinctly remember the scent of my parents’ home and how the family room, despite it’s size, always felt cozy.

When I’d stop by in the evening, I’d pass straight through the living room and take the five steps down to the lower level family room, where I knew she'd be sitting on the couch watching the television. Any casual observer would have thought my mom was completely engrossed in whatever show happened to be on. She’d be curled up on the couch with a pillow and afghan, seemingly settled in for an evening of watching her favorite shows.

However, things are not always what they appear to be ... I loved my mom then, and I still do, but watching television with her was another matter altogether.

We’d exchange greetings and chat for a minute, then we’d watch the show in silence for few minutes. I’d start figuring out what the story line was, but then get distracted by more conversation. When I'd switch my focus back to the TV, I’d think: When the hell did they move the Eiffel Tower to New York? Before I could figure it out, my mom would say something else, diverting my attention again. After a few more minutes of chatting, I’d start watching the show again and think: What the heck? Who is this gray haired guy and how did they end up in a hospital? Inevitably, before I could solve the puzzle, I’d get drawn into another short exchange with my mom and forget what I was confused about.

This might go on for an hour or so before I would finally get exasperated and ask, “What the hell are you watching? First they're in New York, then all the sudden they’re under the Eiffel Tower. Now, for whatever reason, all these characters I don’t recognize are in some hospital. What kind of show is this?”

She’d say, “Oh, I’m not watching anything in particular. I’m just flipping through the stations.”

What the casual observer wouldn’t notice in the family room scene was that she had the remote control stuck between the cushion and arm of the couch where she could push the buttons without anyone noticing.

The Boy was profoundly correct. You are the remote control of your life.

The next time your life veers out of control, you might want to take stock of the people you’ve let commandeer control of the remote.
