Chronicles the otherworldly adventures of an atheist lawyer turned mystic and healer.
Welcome to this Blog
Welcome! Just like Raw Food, just like Twitter, there are many new creations sweeping the world. I am one of them. So is this blog. So - I’m wagering - are you. As the world changes, we discover ourselves more deeply and a new, more personalized spirituality emerges. The new spirituality may or may not involve a church, a mosque, a synagogue, or even a yoga studio. What it does do is ignite the creative spark within. It inspires us to move in large and small ways into new territory. This territory is more loving, authentic, expansive, and innovative. This blog is devoted to an exploration and celebration of this new spirituality, its promise and the rejuvenation it brings.

Messages From Angels - Hold the Bus: Angels in the Driver's Seat - (post 5 of 6)

The disbelief in his voice signaled not only that he knew that not everyone is raped as a child but that he believed his pain marked him as different and his wound as irreparable.
“Everyone has parts of themselves that are wounded, decimated,” I clarified, “I was molested as a child.”
The brief silence that followed was laden with the recognition that we had fought and survived the same war.
I continued with the message. “There is hope for you.” I could see that this man needed immediate help and also some clues as to where to go in the future. The Angels directed me to offer him a small gift. “Here, wait. I want to give you something. I have something for you that will help you.” I put my hand in my backpack and began rummaging for a small bottle.
I pulled out a brown bottle with a yellow label that read, “Bach Rescue Remedy, Flower Essences.” Rescue Remedy helps with stress. Flower essences in general have the gift of knitting, stitch by stitch, souls back together.
“You need flower essences,” I said.
Though it was already opened and partially used, I handed him the bottle. “Here, take this,” I said, “It’s Rescue Remedy. It will calm you down, give you a new perspective. There is a little alcohol in there. When you finish this, go in search of other flower essences. They have a million different kinds. They have them for issues with your father, trauma, sexual abuse. You just have to search them out. You will have to search them out.”
“Where can I get them?” he asked, as he accepted the bottle.
“Go to a health food store. Bring that bottle. Ask the salesperson to show you their flower essences. Ask for a book on them. Start reading. You’ll have to search them out. If you need to, get some help with understanding them.”
“What are these?” he asked.
I would have said “the souls of flowers” but before I could, he asked another question.
“Are they expensive?”
I pointed to the bottle in his hand. “That was $17.00. Others are less expensive.”
“You’re giving me something that costs $17.00?”
“Yes.”
His voice rose. In response, he nearly shouted, “What are you?! Some kind of angel?!” Then he said, “I’ve been looking for answers and I’m having a hard time finding them.”
“That’s why you’ve got to deal with your pain. The pain and the answers live in the same place. If you avoid one you avoid the other.”
“Wait! Say that again? I want to understand.”
“Think of your subconscious as a soup pot. In this pot with a heavy lid is all your pain. Mixed into the soup of your pain are all the answers you’ve been looking for. You’re going to have to lift that lid off and stir up the pain to find the answers. Does that make sense? I know it’s a lot to ask. It’s just the way it is.”
“But how can I do it? How can I handle it?”
