Diary of a Psychic Healer

I love reading up on different themes and seeing how it all comes together; it’s not surprising as I majored in Philosophy (Tufts ‘02). That probably explains this blog 👀 Last year, I started reading the Hermetic books from the 2nd to 4th centuries, which are attributed to the greek Hermes Trismegistus. Believe it or not, the original set doesn’t mention the Kybalion (the 7 manifesting principles); those were channeled 1,500 years later. Instead, it’s a dissertation on the origins of the Universe, humanity’s place in it, and how we can practice meditation to connect with the divine. The first part looks at astrology ; that was my favorite chapter.  For the purpose of this blog , it tells us that when we meditate on the image of a god (or a goddess), that deity pulls us up, closer to his or her level .   The books read as a dialogue between Hermes and his teacher, in the style of the Greek philosophers that we read at school. Hermes is given that visualization, but we can...

There is a line in the New Testament where Jesus tells his followers that it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. I grew up Catholic and this quote has been interpreted to tell people that having money somehow keeps you from getting into Heaven. And that not having $$$ gets you there quicker.  My view is that not having a dysfunctional ego will get us through the pearly gates (or create heaven on earth), but that’s not the point of this post. Let’s focus on the camel.  I had an aha moment recently. To start, I think that we missed the point, forgetting that Jesus was Jewish, and many of the examples he gave were rooted in his culture. Kabbalah is the mystical side of Judaism; I’ve been taking classes on and off since 2009, when I first moved to London. You’ll find all my Kabbalah posts here .  In Kabbalistic lore, the eye of the needle represents the dark night of the soul. It’s represented by t...

SPOILER ALERT: Don't read this if you are Christian or Catholic, as it challenges Church teachings. Read it if you are interested in Ancient Egypt.  Three years ago I watched a documentary on the first few centuries of Christianity. Among other things, it looked at a subset of pagan religions that were popular 2000 years ago and how Christianity absorbed them. There were several scholars discussing passages in the New Testament and how quite a few events in the account of Jesus' life may have been taken directly from these pagan 'mystery' religions.   I put off writing about this because it was almost traumatic. One of these events was Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday. Another was the actual date of December 25th, when a pagan god known as Mithras was said to have been born. This particular claim is contentious - like many things, it's debated. Historians place the likely birth of baby Jesus in the spring, as there is evidenc...

So I was going to tell you about this Theta Healing class that I signed up for recently. It helps your intuition flow a lot quicker. But after the class I had a big aha moment, so I want to share that before I forget it.  Yesterday I was thinking about a project where I would like an influx of prosperity. I asked for guidance and the message that came through was that it is OK to ask for "more of the same" because the idea is to multiply bread, and not divide it.  That very specific wording reminded me of a Bible story where Jesus multiplied bread and fish to feed a large crowd on a hill. This is where the rabbit hole of my puzzle-piece epiphany began ... Puzzle #1: Multiplying with Magic Numbers Ages ago, one of my psychic school teachers told us not to bother taking notes in class because we had our guardian angel with us. A teacher might say something that we didn't know how to process, but your angel takes note, and years later when that piece of informa...
