Life on Easy Street
Are You Pulling My Leg?
Being a psychic does not mean you get to live a life on Easy Street. I thought that was going to happen when I spent five years trying to turn my psychic switch on. Actually, it was one of the first things I asked my guide. Can you give me some winning lottery ticket numbers? He said, “Sure. Here you go.” Well, that didn’t work out, did it? My next comment ran along the lines of, “You lied to me.” He said, slippery as a genie in a bottle, “You don’t know where those were winning numbers do you?”
The actual conversation was so long ago, some 31 years that I don’t remember it word for word, but basically, that was what was said. What was not said, or not so plainly, was that his job was not to make life any easier for me than it already was. His job was to be there to help me dust myself off when I fell down.
And it has been just like that all these 31 years.
I am fine with it. You’re not spiritually enlightened when you become a psychic. You’ve got to work at it like anybody else does whether they are psychic or not. I can’t say as how I’m totally spiritually enlightened now. I’m more old lady enlightened.
Also, maybe some of the stuff he, my guide Seth, and the other folk in Spirit have been talking about all these years has helped me grow up. I could call them FIS for short. Folk in Spirit.
Me: What do you think? (Guide Speak is in bold italics below)
Seth: Are you asking me?
Me: Yes, what do you think?
Seth: Nobody will understand you. It will be like you first heard about people with personality disorders. The letters were PWBPD. You had to go look that up. I’m quite certain that FIS will produce nothing useful in Google.
Me: I’m going to go look.
Seth: Be my guest.
Me: Yeah, you’re right. It’s some sort of financial company. Also, there’s something to do with skiing.
Seth: Would you like to talk to a financial magnate?
Me: Uh, I don’t think so. But thank you.
Seth: I’m sure your ratings will go through the roof.
Me: Always looking out for me, aren’t you?
Seth: I was just pulling your leg, Dear.
Me: Here’s something people might be interested in. I could ask you if I’m going to make something substantial with my writing. So, am I?
Seth: Define substantial.
Me: Well, more than $5,000.
Seth: No.
Me: Here’s where I start whining.
Seth: I don’t see why you should. You are at the top of a precipice. You’ve got one book published, though nobody has bought a copy in years. You have another five pretty much written. There is nothing to say you can’t sit down and either polish them up and publish at KDP or even start a new one.
Me: Well, I have to finish the 2023 finances.
Seth: Here starts the whining.
Me: You’re brutal.
Seth: I don’t lie or obfuscate, as you said in an article the other day.
Me: We’re a team.
Seth: Right.
Me: Thanks.
Seth: You’re welcome. My job, if you will, is to help Pauline when she needs help. Any of your spirit guides will do the same for you. And, yes, everyone has folk in spirit who are rooting for them. I will not do the thing. I will help you to do the thing. So, right now, for Pauline, whenever she is ready to start writing in earnest again, he and other writers will stand at your shoulder, Pauline.
Me: Really?
Seth: Certainly, and so they do for other writers. ALL THE TIME. You don’t necessarily need to speak to spirit in order to receive help with whatever your endeavors are. But you could watch out what you wish for. It might come true.
Me: These are the sort of pep talks I get from spirit. It helps me to pick up my foot and take the next step when I sometimes do not want to. Actually, I have a channeling funny for you. Early on in our friendship, I asked Seth to help me lose some weight. I did actually lose 50 pounds. I will never do it again. Every time I turned around, he was saying things like, “Put that down.” Or “Drop that!” It was like I’d contracted the services of a Marine drill sergeant. It might be fun to write a book like that. Seth, if I asked you again, would you be as tough as you were then?
Seth: No, Dear. I was testing your limits at the time. It was early on in our time of working together, and you had some unrealistic expectations about things. I can’t put the love of anything in your heart. At least, I will not do so.
Me: Is that a guide law?
Seth: No. But it is one that I follow. Everyone earns their own karma. Just as you have earned your own, you cannot, nor can I, protect anyone from their heart’s desire. So, you want to be a famous writer? Can you also deal with book signings, interviews, getting dressed, and driving places?
Me: Sometimes, you can be annoying.
Seth: Just pointing out some things that you might not have considered.
Me: I got dressed yesterday. Or wait, it was the day before.
Seth: If writing in your nightgown is what you want then, by all means, do that. I’m sure there are many of your fellow writers who write in all states of en déshabillé.
Me: God, Seth. I had to look that one up to get the right spelling.
Seth: And now, you have it.
I suppose I should work on our finances. I put in 4 ½ hours yesterday and got two months done. If I do the same today, I might finish up June and July. In another week or so, I’ll be ready to turn it all over to our tax lady. I don’t know why, but it is easier for me this year than last year.
In 2022, we were going poor. In 2023, we made it. Maybe I just got used to it.
Thanks for reading. Best of luck with your financial planning and taxes. And don’t be afraid to talk to your guide. They might not answer you, but they are listening.
