In some rare instances lucid clairvoyant dreams do occur where “communication” is authentic and is an attempt by the soul or spirit to relay some message to the dreamer. However, most dreams are simply dreams; they are the bi-product of the mind’s movement in thought.

The concept of God is deeply personal and often a product of religion, upbringing or faith systems. What has been shown to me by the “essence of the souls” is that there is the presence of the unmanifested and a supreme endless consciousness… this is where all spirit dwells. Forever present, timeless, infinite, and beyond the use of any word to describe!

Even though I do sense the presence of my own family members, I sometimes have to pause and really pay attention so that I do not confuse what I am sensing with my own memory or grief process. To be sure I will visit another high quality medium. Remember, even the best doctor goes to another doctor for surgery.

Dear Robert,

Why is it that some people get read and others don’t? I was at one of your readings and found it very interesting. I had an open mind and wasn’t disappointed when not read. However, if someone is ok with why or how their loved ones passed and are done grieving does that mean they don’t need to come through? I plan on going again one day, but just wanted to know. Thank you!

Maria

Dear Maria,

A person who is seeking communication with a soul that has crossed over is not the only basis for the reason why some people are read and others are not. Just because we may need to hear from a soul, that does not mean they are ready to send a message or cross over the veil to do so. The soul that has crossed over may not be ready for their own reason or purpose to send a message. Another reason may be that the Medium is of poor quality and capacity and their psychic window is not capable to properly receive the messages. The soul senses this and may not use this psychic window to cross the veil. A soul may come through for their own sake to deliver a message they need to communicate or to communicate with someone other than a loved one that is OK or done grieving with their passing. A soul may come through for their own sake and not necessarily because a loved one needs them to.

Robert,

I woke up the other day and smelled this strong smell of coffee being brewed,as I walked through my kitchen and it traveled into my living room where my husband was sitting. I kept asking him if he smelled it he said no. Then all of a sudden he looked up at me and smiled and said I smell it now.Neither one of us are coffee drinkers. I opened the door to the hall to see if it was coming from out there it wasn’t. My mom who lived upstairs from us until she died suddenly December 2006 was a great coffee drinker. It reminded us of her. My youngest daughter also smelled it when she woke up, briefly. She dreamed a lot of my mother when she died and had very detailed dreams she always was able to explain to us all the dreams. She was 7 at the time of my mom’s passing.Please tell me what it means. We took it as a special hello that warmed our hearts.

ANSWER:

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for your inquiry. Congratulations, what your family experienced is what is commonly called a spontaneous breakthrough visit. These wonderful experiences are often very unexpected and do not require any special preparation. In this case your mother’s love came across the veil through the smell of coffee. Your mother’s spirit knew that your daughter, you and your husband would recognize her!!! Wake up to the smell of her coffee!

Although subtle in it’s approach these personal contacts are very moving and surrounded in love.

Dear Robert,

I have lost three sisters in the past 10 years. One of them promised she would come to me in my dreams. This has not happened yet. I also attended one of your Love Never Ends events and still they have not come to me. Is there a reason that they are unable to do this?

Answer:

Hello Liz,

It is quite possible that she has made her presence felt but you may not have noticed or been aware of this. But more likely, her soul is not ready or lacks the ability to speak up. Expectations are based on human clock time and not spiritual time and the readiness of the soul. Some people wait ten, fifteen or more years for contact. Also, large groups may be distracting to a soul and they might not have the ability to speak up loud enough. You may want to consider a quality medium in a private setting. Although no medium can guarantee or control what souls come through, that will enhance the possibility enormously.

In the Spirit,

We all receive some information daily – sometimes obvious and other times quite subtle. It can be experienced through humor or sarcasm, through anger or compassion. It can be seen in advertising, through clothes being worn, a subtle perfume, a bold shirt, a business suit, or metallic suit. We receive it in so many ways and often it is expressed uniquely, and often confusing…did she mean to say that?…was that a complaint or a cooperative comment…it is based on intent…subject matter…the variations in a relationship and so on. This often happens in psychic communication as well. The receiving of the information is really rather simple. What is crucial is whether we notice it or understand what is meant to be conveyed. What is extremely important is that psychics remove themselves on a personal level from the information, except for the references that create validations. The injection of personal emotion can create havoc with a reading.

As in any great art work or musical piece the interpretation of the instrument is where genius is born. The ability to delve further into symbolism . The high sensitivity to interpret intent by a departed soul can truly define a level of quality that can be compared. I am certain that there are psychics that have great talent on the receiving end by having spent little or no time developing their interpretations or reactions to the energy. Gifted mediums can clearly interpret information on a profound level of skill that is both sensitive and accurate.

We certainly show our deepest appreciation for receiving a gift by honoring it, caring for it and using it with prudence and respect. Even the smallest token of gift giving brings this energy.

Therefore, gifts can not be requested. If they become a negotiation, a manipulation of the emotional environment to solicit a particular goal, it is not genuine in the true sense of gift giving. For some, a gift also becomes a skill, a talent, a lifestyle – such as a gift for music, art, or sports. In the world,the physical plane, the level of the talent or gift is generally measured by others; thus “he /she is a very gifted musician” is based upon the reaction of others - the audience.

Are all gifts intended for entertainment, interaction with others? Certainly not. Many gifted people remain quiet, removed and out of any limelight. While others are simply drawn into prominence as a result of their gifted ability.

Certainly gifted mediums share an extraordinary sensitivity to the After Death Communication process. They have been blessed with a higher level of awareness – a keen focus on subtle images, sounds, vibrations that pass through them and around them. They connect and listen in a highly tuned in way.

To ask the question why do some not have the “gift” suggests that it can cajoled or manufactured in some way – like gifted intelligence or a gifted voice. The energy of the universe in the process of creation, the creation of each human being, has placed certain conditions in place that has provided a heightened receiver system and the energy of loved who have crossed over sense it. They are drawn to it much like a moth to flame.

When the medium opens to this process and channels or requests information to come through, it is as though a great singer is about to sing in concert and as the concerts flows so does the voice of the singer. The energy grows and grows; Thus too with mediums. Through practice, combined with gift, combined by sender and receiver, it all fuses to make the information and communication more powerful.

For whatever reason I was not born to be a professional hockey player. I wanted to be…it looks, and sounds great…the action, the money…all of it. However, as it was written in the bible, “many are called and yet few are chosen.” Spirit activates their psychic energy and yet for many reasons, emotional , personal, religious, belief systems, they never pursue the psychic work. They simply are not drawn in deeper. Spirit senses this and their doors remain open only a little. They are not closed off. However, souls that have departed  sense that when a door is open too soon, it can impact a family, a person in ways that may be disruptive.

However, in the world of spirit in the psychic dimensions we all have a receiver system. It is part of the makeup of our very soul. That is why when we cross over, we will  be able to send information. It is part of us. In the physical plane we can experience this on varying levels…we may catch glimpses, hear sounds, or sense a presence when we least expect it. Why? Because there are times when our ego coverings, fears, doubts, ambitions of the heart, are quiet and we simply “ are”. We are open to the energy, and suddenly , unexpectedly an opening breaks out and information and communication happens. It is often random and unexpected but it creates hope and exploration of the idea.

Learning to quiet the geo mind, learning to be more sensitive can be taught. To what level is like asking to what level can I sing for you. You can not choose this – otherwise there would be thousands of Bocellis in the world. – instead there is just one. There are many great singers who love to sing and sing well, just not at that level. That is in the hands of the Good Lord, the Heavens.

All  men may be created equal in the eyes of the law, but not in the human experience. We have different strengths and weaknesses. We have a variety of intelligences, pre-disposed illnesses, issues of health, baldness, obesity, etc. It varies from person to person even in the same family. This also takes place in psychic levels of understanding and awareness. It can be groomed and magnified, but as it is with your biological height, you can not grow taller than your pre-determined height. It is similar in psychic development. Your levels appear to be pre-set. What is the key  is how well you enjoy the height that you are. If more is given to you it will happen spontaneously…like growing up in your own skin!
