Only one thing made me wary before I came out as a psychic intuitive, or a personality on YouTube offering meaningful metaphysical content to the masses: my past. Because lets be real here, Ive made a lot of mistakes in my past. And what if these mistakes came to light and people judged me for them? What if people could see all those mistakes and question how it was I could offer any real spiritual guidance? Would my mistakes invalidate me? The answer is, maybe. Some people in search of deeper spirituality feel the need to find a teacher with an exemplary past. They need to know that their teacher has perfectly scaled spiritual heights and that they can teach them from a place of higher wisdom and deeper experience. While I think that desire is not bad necessarily (though I cannot say it is good), I know that its is almost entirely impossible to find a teacher like that. Okay, totally impossible. People have always been and always WILL be fallible. The Pope is fallible; Jesus was fallible; Buddha was fallible. Augustine (boy was he ever!). Theresa of Avila (her too!). Pele. Gods, goddesses, masters, teachers, avatars and even some angels. All fallible. The greatest teachers are the ones who have been knocked around by life, who have had intense and large reactions, who have climbed the dimensions to peek at what is up there. And also experienced the depths to peek there also. They have laughed but theyve also screamed. They have been cheated upon and they have cheated. They have abused and they have healed their bodies (only to perhaps abuse them again, and heal again). They have experienced the broad spectrum of physical life, from the good to the bad to the joyous to the despicable -- and they live to tell it. Not just tell it, but they USE what they have learned to be of service to others. Now THATS a teacher. I dont know about you, but I want a spiritual teacher who has experienced the trenches and the ditches of this strange life. I want someone who has been there and done it and then arranged all experiences into a clear message that can literally HEAL my life. Meeting a teacher like that is a miracle. I am not claiming to be a teacher like that, like the Buddha or like Jesus. But remember that even Jesus said that greater things than he did will WE do, and I believe him on that. That means we can all go out and heal people. We can prophesy. We can cast out dark energy and usher in Love where it is most needed. We can feed people, minister to the sick, and deliver immense messages of change to those who need to hear it the most. In my life, I strive to do that. I am in no way perfect -- but I sure am striving. What else can I do but that? I put myself in front of you all as a spiritual teacher. I am no longer ashamed of what I have been called to do. This is the life I have always been led to live -- flaws, scars and all -- and it has taken me over forty years to get here. I am over apologizing for hard lessons that made me a better person. I am here to declare that I am an impossibly and beautifully flawed individual, one who has lived the broad spectrum of life, and if the lessons of my life can help just one person -- EVEN JUST ONE PERSON -- then my life has absolutely been worth something. Maybe my life has been worth everything.
