What is a “gift”? By my definition, a gift is the presentation of an object, emotion, act, word, or deed that is given freely with the energy of love directing it. A gift requires no thank yous; yet, for most, including myself, a thank you is the momentary appreciation of the gift.
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!
