Dear Soul Arcanum:
I have kitties, and some are not doing too well. One has been diagnosed with oral cancer, the other has no definite diagnosis, and almost all of them developed upper respiratory infections. I recently learned about Quantum Touch, and had been using it on them when I got the feeling I should meditate. To shorten the story, a person in my meditation told me a certain thing about the infections they were all experiencing. I accepted what he said to be true, even though it’s a bit “out there,” and the next day, they were all basically “cured.” What do I do with this information? It sounds pretty wacky, but it seems to work. There are many ramifications to letting people know about it, however. I am really confused. I am thankful I was told this, and amazed at how well it’s worked, but what do I do with this spiritual information now? Thanks and many blessings!

Dear Joanna:
Welcome to my psychic world!
Your question reminds me of the television show Medium, which I started watching recently, even though I don’t generally watch TV, and certainly steer clear of shows that are dark with violence such as those about crimes. Everyone kept telling me about this show, however, so I checked it out. As soon as I saw it, I told my family, “They definitely have a real medium consulting on this show!” (I didn’t know yet that the character of Allison Dubois is based on a real medium of the same name.)
So many elements in the show’s storylines ring true to me. For example, no one knows what Allison does for a living, or that she is even a medium, except for her husband and the people she works with. Even her kids are basically in the dark about what she is really doing. Due to society’s general view of “psychics” as either nuts or frauds, many remain “in the closet” about their ability for a long time � some never come out.
Allison also often doesn’t know what to make of the dreams she has or the information she receives herself. Instead of being all-knowing, she is usually just as baffled by her experiences as everyone else. When we first open psychically, this is just how it is. We don’t know how to explain what is happening or how to figure out what our experiences “mean” – we just know that we had them and that when we pursue their meaning, it usually takes shape in amazing ways.
I’m mentioning all of this because one of Allison’s many struggles with her psychic perceptions is figuring out what she should do with them. She often doesn’t know if she should share the information she receives via visions and dreams. When she does share them, the people who receive her insights usually don’t know what to do with them either. She faces a lot of judgment and rejection by skeptics, yet she always finds a way to trust her own truth above all else, and when she does, things work out.
If you haven’t seen the show yet, I encourage you to check it out, for it will help you to make sense of what you pick up and the best way to deal with it. I must warn you, however, that it’s not for super sensitive folks who lack faith that all is well, for it centers on solving violent crimes.
Like Allison, if we trust that we receive information for a reason and we trust our own intuition when deciding what to do with that information, everything will work out just fine. This doesn’t mean that everyone will be open to hearing what we have to say, or that our lives will be simple and carefree. If that’s what you’re hoping for, you might as well ask Spirit to turn your psychic abilities off right now – and move to fantasyland while you’re at it.
When we first begin to have amazing spiritual experiences such as the insights you were given and the healing that followed, it’s natural and kind to want to tell the whole world about it. After all, when we figure out that we are the creators of our own experiences, and thus there is no need for anyone to suffer ill health or lack of any kind, we want to tell everyone who is still walking around in a dark cloud of disempowerment how they can use our truth to create something better in their lives.
It can be especially hard to watch loved ones struggle with problems that we know how to solve, such as the health issues you describe. Similarly, it can be very hard to watch loved ones heading for a huge mistake and not try to warn them, even if we know they won’t listen. If we do try to warn them, it can be even harder to sit back when they refuse to listen to us.
On top of all this, we have to figure out what to do with the information we pick up for perfect strangers. We have less at stake personally there, but how in the world does one begin to approach such a subject? Perhaps hardest of all is determining what we should do with messages for people we don’t like very much, or who don’t like us for some reason. For a couple of months now, I’ve been sitting on a message about impending health problems for woman who really resents me. We never speak, so I’m not about to ring her up with the “bad news.”
To make matters even more complicated, because we create our own realities, we are juggling a lot of responsibility for how our words will affect others’ outcomes, for if we tell them they’re heading for disaster, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We don’t want to be proven right just because they believe our dire prediction and go on to manifest it.
To figure out what we should do with certain information, we have to develop a clear conscious connection to Spirit. This is where a spontaneous medium like Allison Dubois’ character is at a disadvantage. Her impressions come to her randomly, spontaneously – it’s like she is at their mercy. By contrast, a developed medium will have cultivated strong relationships with guides in Spirit, and know how to receive answers and guidance at will. A medium who has mastered her abilities like this will then just ask Spirit what she should do with certain information, and receive a clear answer. For example, when I ask Spirit what I should do with that health information for the woman who doesn’t like me, I hear, “wait, watch and see.”
Anyone who has spontaneous psychic experiences or receives insights and information from Spirit like you did should further develop their abilities like this, so they can ask Spirit for guidance on what to do with their perceptions. There are no hard and fast rules we can learn, for each individual and situation is unique. We have to be able to ask our intuition in the moment, and trust it enough to act on it.
Ponder this possibility: sometimes we are actually meant to deliver information to someone who will reject it, because this will prove more powerful than preventing a “mistake.” When they realize we were right and wish they had listened to us, their spiritual belief system could be blown open. So even if our impressions are rejected up front, it doesn’t mean it was all for nothing. Some people have to walk through a lot of pain before they’ll change their ways and views.
As for what you might do with general spiritual epiphanies, such as knowing that we can heal with the energy of our minds, again – ask your intuition. Perhaps this experience/knowing was a gift just for you. Perhaps you will feel compelled to share it with certain individuals you meet along your journey. Maybe you’ll end up writing a book about the knowledge you’ve been given, and enlighten the world at large.
If you feel compelled to share your insights and experiences in some way, then there is nothing more important for you to do. So long as what you are sharing is of love and light, and your overall intention is to be helpful, you can’t go wrong.
Whenever you don’t know what to do, remember: you can always ask Spirit!
