This book is dedicated to my “clear seeing” acquisitions editor, Amy
Glaser; production editor Laura Graves; all the revision and proofreading
editors at Llewellyn Worldwide who work on my books as a team; and
my mother, who has carefully gone over each of my books and set me
straight if I’ve muddled things up! Thank you all for your vision.
introduction
When I was in college, everyone in my dorm knew I was a clairvoyant.
You see, the walls were paper thin, and I was working for one of
those psychic hotlines in which I would give clairvoyant readings over the
phone. My next-door neighbor in the hallway was always very shy around
me and seemed too frightened to talk or return my smiles and waves. I
never heard a peep out of her until one night, she knocked on my door. I
opened the door and she stood timidly in the dim light of the hallway
looking at me with earnest and friendly eyes.
“There’s a spider in my room,” she said. “Will you kill it for me?”
My jaw dropped. Then I couldn’t help but chuckle. “What makes you think
I kill spiders?” I asked. “I’m a vegetarian; I love all living creatures.”
Her face fell. “I … uh …,” she began. Then the rest spilled out in a rush. “I
figured that since you tell fortunes you must be into all sorts of spooky
Halloween stuff and … maybe … oh, I don’t know … ” She looked up at me
balefully. I imagine she thought I might like to throw the spider into a
cauldron and cast a spell.
I went into her room and she pointed out the offending arachnid, which
was still lying on her bedspread. Gently, I captured it in a drinking glass,
carried it down the three flights of stairs, and released it into the bushes
outside the dorm hall. She followed me sheepishly and grinned. “Thanks,”
she said. “I’m sorry I implied you were evil or bad or something. What is it
that you really do?”
Thus began one of my most satisfying exchanges with a layperson that
would alter another’s perceptions about clairvoyance; many would later
follow. You don’t have to make a huge effort to promote clairvoyance, even
if you believe it has changed your life. In fact, the best thing you can do to
advance the cause is to make an effort not to shy away from intrusive
questions and curious eyes.
Being clairvoyant is a big responsibility but it also comes with great
blessings. When you are clairvoyant, a whole new world of sensory
experience can open to you. The past and the future can seem more
accessible and even better, more changeable. Best of all, you may be able
to see some people whom you dearly miss, if distance or even death has
separated you.
Imagine being able to see true visions of the past, present, and future
with your own eyes. You can have the gift of powerful psychic vision, and it
will feel natural and normal. Forget those movies where a clairvoyant
doubles over in pain or shock, wincing because of terrifying premonitions.
Clairvoyance can be a source of gentle wisdom, the sort of message that
appears to you while sipping a cup of tea, rather than one the universe can
deliver like a whack over the head with the “clue-by-four.”
Clairvoyance (“clear-seeing”) is the ability to see literal or symbolic truth
using your eyes or the mind’s eye. Being labeled psychic unfortunately
carries with it certain expectations. It implies that you know everything.
However, psychic perception simply means that you receive information
through senses other than your usual five. Yes, you see with your eyes,
however most of the perception of light that enters your eyes is actually
processed and made useful in your brain. Thus clairvoyance, like physical
eyesight, is something that is mostly performed by your brain. However, it
also has a special link with spiritual ability. Think of it like your physical
eyesight is governed by your body and your mind, while your clairvoyant
sight is regulated by your mind and your spirit.
This book is designed for the beginner. With it, you will be able to learn
how to experience clairvoyance on your own terms. Whether you’ve been
struggling all your life to control your ability to see flashes of visions or
you’ve never seen anything more than what’s in front of you, you’ll be able
to develop your natural talents and potential abilities. We’ll start with
honing ordinary powers of observation. The natural world is full of omens
waiting to be noticed and put to use.
When you’re ready to move on to seeing things that are out of the
ordinary, you can start with your eyes closed. The world of dreams is the
best place for any budding psychic to start understanding the strange
symbols and vibrant landscape of clairvoyant thought. Besides, you’ve
probably already been dreaming all your life. Once you start gaining
mastery over the understanding of dreams, you can then develop the ability
to meditate and even go into a trance to see things in your mind’s eye the
same way you experience dreams.
For those brave enough to move on, you’ll be able to start being
clairvoyant with your eyes open. Tools that inspire your eyes and your
subconscious, called scrying tools, serve as simple focus objects, like a bowl
of water, crystal ball, or candle. By providing nondescript imagery or a blank
slate, scrying tools invite your eyes and your mind to fill in the blanks with
other things. Just as in your dreams, things that you see may be very
symbolic, or you might find an emerging talent for seeing the literal past,
present, or future.
Moving forward, you will be given tools for removing crutches for (and
barriers to) psychic development while still keeping healthy boundaries.
Once you’re fully equipped to perform clairvoyant readings for yourself, you
may want to do readings for others. You can learn to use your newfound
clairvoyance to read people and advise on matters of love, money, career,
and family. Finally, we’ll get into the theory of clairvoyance, and we’ll learn
how to tell the difference between seeing spiritual visions … and being a
candidate for the loony bin.
You’re about to embark on an unusual journey for people in our modern
culture. For most of us, seeing things that “aren’t there” is something to be
feared and is often misunderstood. As you approach clairvoyance seriously,
you’ll find yourself in a new world of ethical and spiritual issues. It is up to
you to build a structure of moral, realistic, and socially conscious behavior
when taking on the life-changing role of a clairvoyant. The life can be
exciting, exhilarating, thought-provoking, and theologically inspiring. You’ll
need to know when to keep your eyes open and your wits about you. You’ll
need to be able to relax and close your eyelids to the world. This book is
designed to empower the capable and clairvoyant you.
