When we think about an inheritance, we usually think about money coming to us from a deceased relative. However, Spirit told us that there are two kinds of inheritance. One is money. One is karmic.

Spirit said:

“‘Inheritance’ is a very interesting word. Inheritance usually means something is coming down through family, like money. Inheritance can also come from what we call ‘karmic build up.’ Karmic build up comes down through the ages.

“A person living a very peaceful, tranquil life, which is strange and foreign to their family tree, may be benefiting from a karmic build up. The peace and tranquility that this person lives is different from the life which any of their siblings has ever lived or will ever live. This peace and tranquility is an inheritance which is coming upon them, being showered upon them through the heavens, reflecting the way that they have lived their other lives in pursuit of being more loving, more accepting, more understanding, more intuitive, and more giving.

“This will continue all the days of their life.”

Our lives are lived on a continuum which flows from one lifetime to another. Events and longings can be carried over from past lifetimes and can flow into future lifetimes. We don’t have to achieve all of our goals in this particular period. Living occurs over a tremendous scope of lifetimes.  

I have a few friends who long for experiences they have not had in this lifetime. One is longing to be a grandmother. Another is longing for that one special love which lasts. One is longing for sustained health. This may not be the lifetime for those experiences. Perhaps these longings will be fulfilled in their next life.

Each lifetime brings gifts from the past and challenges to pursue. Everyone has a few special advantages, but no one has everything.

Have you ever wondered why something in your life is so easy? Have you seen a pattern in your life which is beyond your grasp? Take advantage of this slow time, this time of self isolation, to think about your life.

“One morning, I had an interesting experience when I woke up: I didn’t have a clue where I was. I woke up not knowing who I was. I could have been anyone, anytime, any place. It didn’t matter. I just wanted to know who I was so that I knew what I would be dealing with when I got up. Honest to G-d, I could have been old/young, male/female, in any country, but I was aware that I was still me.

“Then I shuffled a deck of cards and they all had different faces, lifetimes, places and people, and a voice said, ‘You’re Marta this time!’ I remembered I was Marta and that being Marta was an easy one. I was unemotionally seeing all of these other lives. I could have been rotting in a prison in the middle ages. None of it mattered. There was no emotional response, I just needed to know who I was waking up to. It was extremely humbling.”

Today’s blog post is a nice diversion from the headlines. In 2015, at Harmony Grove, Reverend Coy Johnston told me how she had helped free souls which had been trapped in a fire.

Coy shared this story:

“When I was much younger, I was with a friend. We weren’t spiritualists then, we just knew some stuff.

“A big Sun Deva resides on Palomar Mountain and we went up there.

“At the time, Palomar Mountain had a two-room schoolhouse, and I was employed by the school district as a teacher. One building was older than the other one. We were cleaning up the older building. I was going to teach the younger kids, kindergarten through fourth grade. I wanted the older building because the bathrooms were inside and there was a lot of snow. The little kids would be safe.

“My friend and I were there in August, cleaning before the school year started. We didn’t know anything. Well, we had some knowledge, but I didn’t have a spiritual teacher, and we weren’t reading or studying together. We were willing to learn, and maybe we had innate knowledge.

“We were setting up the classroom. Everything was clean and ready to go, but we couldn’t leave. I asked my friend, ‘What’s going on?’ She didn’t know.

“We sat and we thought. We felt an old, old-style schoolteacher, a man who was very harsh. He was a very strong energy. We didn’t want that energy, so we sent it on its way.

“Then we could feel other people who were there; who were kept there. We looked at each other. One of us finally said, ‘There was a fire here.’ They had all died, but they hadn’t left.

“Then, this sounds crazy, but we felt the form of a huge eagle sit on top of the roof. With his claws, the eagle lifted the top off of the building and all of these people blessed us as they left. They just kept going.

“I’m sure at some point in history, there had been a fire and people had been caught on the mountain as it was burning. They couldn’t get out. They were trapped by their thoughts. Lifting the top off allowed them to go. We could feel them go. We felt the roof set back down.

“Our energy was there to witness it. Was our energy necessary? At this point I would say, we were there with the right energy. We had cleaned up the room, so they had asked us to clean up the rest of it too.

“My friend turned to me and said, ‘Look at your hands!’ Do you know the movie Starman? You’ll have to watch it. She said, ‘You are going to be a healer. In your hands, they have just placed these little, round, blue balls. This is going to be healing. Keep your hands out for a bit.’ The balls went into my hands.

“It was the first time I knew that there was a bigger story than the world we knew here. It’s no trouble at all for me to believe that we are Star People. We are Star Seed.

“This is the last part of the story. We still hadn’t left. I moved to another table. The school had old-fashioned windows. They used to make them so they went out and a chain held them. We had a window open so I walked over to shut the window. As I was reaching up, my friend grabbed me and yelled, ‘Get away from there!’ I couldn’t see this, but there was a huge, pea green energy rolling down the hill, coming right at that window. I jumped out of the way. She said, ‘You can’t stand there, it’s going to hit the window!’

“After a while, she said she didn’t know where the energy had gone. I shut the window and we left.

“The next day I returned for the first day of school. I got there at 7 a.m. and that window had been broken out. There was glass all over the floor. I still don‘t know what that was about. Either we didn’t let everything out and it needed a way out, or there was something which was upset that we were cleaning. I don’t know. I called over to the observatory and they sent a guy to clean up the mess and put in new glass.”


Coy Johnston passed into spirit earlier this month. Sharing this story is a tribute to her and her life. I only met Coy once, but she had a lot of wisdom to share.

Rest in peace, Coy.

  Quote from a Psychic - There is no Separation

“We don’t have to mourn anybody! Yes, it is hard to be separated in the sense of the illusion of how the world is made, but I promise you this, there is no separation. When we cross over in Spirit and we are ready to be born here, they have a memorial. [LOL.]

"When we cross over (and this is a balanced reality, I’m not talking about people with a lot of issues who go right into healing) in balance, it is our birthing again. We re-birth and we have this backpack full of things and information which we made more tangible here.”

                                                             April Cunningham

This is as close to a political blog as I’m going to write and it’s not about politics, it’s about manifestation. It’s about how one powerful person’s manifestation can entangle all of us.

Our current president is an isolationist. He came into power proclaiming, “America First,” then withdrew the U.S. from peace treaties, trade agreements, and international alliances. He thrives on a chaotic Oval Office. He enjoys being unpredictable. He does not build alliances. No one knows what is going to happen until he tweets.

What about the rest of us? How has his manifestation played out in our lives? He wanted isolation, now we are isolated in our homes. He canceled alliances, now we have canceled social engagements, club meetings, and charitable connections. Employees who used to go to offices, sit in homes and work remotely. We can’t look people in the eye at the grocery store. He enjoys chaos, now we can’t depend on institutions. We live in unpredictability: will schools re-open? Will sports resume? How will we move forward?

More manifestation examples: He’s not religious. Churches no longer meet.

He’s doesn’t believe in public education. Our educational system is flailing.

He has encouraged physical violence at his rallies. Now people are wary of leaving their homes for fear of being beaten for their skin color, ethnicity, or head covering.

He didn’t want Mexican people coming here. He wanted stronger borders. Now the Mexican people don’t want us going there. They want stronger borders, but for a completely different reason.

He values competition, winning, and power. Winners and losers. He punishes people who won't carry out his mission. What happened to consensus building? 

This is his manifestation and we are players in his drama.

I’m looking at the big picture, at the ability of one person to manifest his values in such a way that everyone is affected. I suppose it’s not just manifestation. In this case, it’s a combination of manifestation and power.

He may not have created the virus, but he allowed it to carry out his mission. He didn’t use the tools the nation had to fight the virus’ spread. He didn’t ask us to pull together in this crisis. Instead of a cohesive national strategy, he pitted states against states. Now, people are living physically, emotionally, and socially-distanced lives while arguing about how to move forward.

Let’s flip the script and imagine a person of power setting out to manifest a world of peace, freedom, and prosperity. The world I want to live in would be kind, cooperative, and reliable. Remember win/win?

Given this situation, we must build peace and cooperation from the bottom up. Let’s find a way to either get along with each other, or stay apart so we don’t hurt each other. Apply the Golden Rule. Enjoy freedom in life as long as no one gets hurt. Treat people fairly.

I recently read, “We can be bitter or we can be better.” Instead of giving up in exasperation, let’s manifest love, peace, fairness, and kindness in our homes, then expand these delights to our communities and to the world.

We can break these bonds. We are not bound by another person’s manifestation. We are also powerful creators. We are free people who can manifest a better world.

               Quote from a Psychic - Stay Focused

In 2015, Coy Johnston said:

"Right now, you can’t look at what is on the news. You have to stay focused in yourself and the world in which you live. The people who you touch. If you look out there now, you see people helping one another, you see acts of kindness. You can see things happening. This is where it starts. Right where we are."

People are being separated for a reason. In their own homes and small circles, away from larger groups, each person has the opportunity to examine who they are, what they believe, and how they can make a difference.

In a recent channeling, Spirit explained that when people band tightly together, their connection acts like a netting. A netting that is very close can act like a sieve. But when the netting is spread out, things can seep through. What kinds of things seep through? Old ideas and perspectives.

It is time to let go of old ideas. By being separated, individuals can clear out the tremendous energy which was being retained by being together in tight groups, whether those groups had high, or low, vibrations. Separation allows each person to discover who they are and how they can shine in their arena.

In addition, everyone needs to feel who they are so they no longer say, “Well, all of society is this way.”

Spirit went on to remind us that people have not been completely isolated. They may be physically distanced, but remain loosely connected with their group.

Every day is a growth process, an opportunity to look at how far we have come and what is important to us.

We all have instincts. We shared Neanderthal beginnings. Over time, we outgrew those instincts and sought to do better -- to educate and humanize ourselves. We have come a long way. To continue this growth, we can send the vibrating energy of empowerment to all which is truthful, fair, kind, and loving.

When we find an opinion, a statement, a comment, or an action, that is so contrary to anything we understand, or relate to, it shows how far our evolution has come.

When we see the pain of others, we can understand pain, whether or not we fully comprehend their situation. To heal those who ache, send a hug, send love, send peace. There is no need to understand any particular trigger to know that people are hurting.

As lightworkers, we have been separated so that we can each work in our own arena, sending peace, harmony, and health to our communities. We are the encouragement for ourselves, our families, and our communities. We cannot dim our lights, our truths, or our beliefs, regardless of how dark it is around us. Light always illuminates the dark. Remember that. Empower others to be the light where they are. It matters.

   Quote from a Psychic - When things Slow Down

“I get the feeling that this is a bit of a challenge for you -- to learn how to be in the moment even though there’s not something in the works for you. If there is nothing there, or if it feels like there is nothing there, you have to understand that there really is. It’s just that you can’t see it yet.

“They want you to learn to allow yourself the down time and the not-so-structured sort of life. It’s almost like saying, ‘Allow yourself to be in this space.’ If there is nothing in the works, it doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. Energy is going on around you all the time. Things are developing and unfolding and evolving; you just can’t see it.”

A birth, a wedding, a trip to Sea World, a work assignment. Holiday parties and house guests. A new dog. These bits and pieces of everyday experience add up to make a life.

For the last few months, I've been reading my old journals and thinking about how much of life we remember and how much we forget. I’ve reviewed old letters which I sent or received. I’ve looked through old photos. I’ve read about pieces of my life which I had forgotten. A few things surprised me during this process:

1) Things remembered and things forgotten

I remembered a lot, but I had also forgotten about many activities, events, and people. Had I gone to an Old Time Fiddler’s Contest in Harper’s Ferry? I don’t remember attending that event, but my journal tells a funny story of car camping in the rain.

Here’s another one: I dated a guy named Steve for several months. I wrote down his name, but I can’t remember anything about him. We went out for a good six months and I have no idea who he is.

2) How we remember things

There are people and events which I remember, but when I read the old notes, I find that I don’t remember things the way they actually happened. For example, I recall being in college, working very hard and spending most of my time on classes and homework. Looking at my old calendars, I find a big social/party component to my life. Lots of bars with lots of bands. I don’t remember going out, or drinking, that much!

I also recall one particular relationship during which I was a nervous wreck. I had a huge crush. When I look at my notes, I find I had a very pragmatic thought process, although I was still flustered whenever we were together. I had quite a mature attitude. Who knew?

3) The emotional component of memory

In some cases, I had forgotten the details of events and relationships, but when I reviewed my journals, I recaptured the feelings of the moment. I felt the angst of liking a guy who didn’t like me at the same level. I felt the joy of the first few dates with someone; the excitement of wondering, “Is this the one?!?”

I dated a lot of guys and as I read about these old encounters, each one had a different feeling to it, as if there was a different chemical mix when we came together. Perhaps this is what is meant when people talk about “vibrations.” Each chemical reaction provided a different vibration, a different feeling.

Through the letters I received from others, I see them going through these same kinds of life events and relationships. This odd assortment of incidents makes a life.

When we think about our lives, we frame them in story form -- “This is the story of what happened.” When I look at the old notes, it's not always easy to make a story. Some relationships/interactions/events are fragmented. They happened over time in a way which went forward, then backward, then forward again. It’s not easy to mash these memories into a story.

So what’s the point of this blog post? Life is comprised of small daily moments and big life altering events. They all count. It’s easy to remember the big moments and easy to forget the small ones, but when we look back, we see the path we have taken.

A divorce isn’t a failure, it’s a step along our path which brings us to who we are today.

I also realize that feelings are significant. Joy. Nostalgia. A heart full of love. It’s delightful to recapture the feeling of joy from an event which happened decades ago. Reliving the emotion makes it feel like yesterday. I was surprised at how easily I could slip back into the feeling of an event.

Sometimes when I am in a powerful session with a psychic, I feel the same kind of huge emotional milieu. We tap into something deep. A deep joy. A sense of mystery. A feeling that we are part of something bigger than our daily lives. It is a love energy.

I have been fortunate to have had some guidance during this lifetime. I did not have parents who gave me useful life advice. Instead, I spoke with psychics who gave me clues and strategies, and reminded me that there were things (and people) which I could not change. They gave me suggestions for dealing with challenges, and reminded me to pick my battles wisely.

I also had my personal Spirit Guides, but they were difficult to hear. I needed help to identify their input, although I credit a few epiphanies along the way to my Guides. A few good ideas came from nowhere. Thanks, guys!

I encourage each of you to jot down a few lines about your life so you can remember the richness of living. It is a physical and emotional adventure.

Take care.
