A visit to Lily Dale...

It's been an interesting couple of weeks. We recently returned from a visit to Lily Dale, NY, home of Spiritualism in the United States. Spiritualists believe they can communicate with those who have passed on. I believe they can, too, particularly since I myself have been visited by a few friendly spirits when doing Reiki. The mediums (mediums communicate with those who have passed and are also psychic...not all psychics are mediums) of Lily Dale are certified and cannot use tarot cards, etc. to help them with their readings. I've read that some of them have accuracy ratings as high as 95%. All I can tell you is that they convinced me...and what they do just comes back to my earlier posting about tapping into the energy matrix that connects us all...it's all about vibration, energy and love.

We were also fortunate enough to see Candace Pert (her last presentation, it turns out as she finally go the funding she needs to return to the lab and continue her work with her AIDs drug/vaccine). I found her to be accessible, humorous, brilliant, kooky and amazing. Her presentation along with her husband Michael Ruff, was very, very interesting and once again verified what I "thought" I knew. One thing she said that I just loved is:

"We're all hardwired for bliss."

Do you get that? We're chemically programmed to be happy in our very cells! Isn't that amazing? And, what stops that? Our thinking....our belief systems. Which of course is where The Work of Byron Katie comes in so beautifully.
