It all started with me walking down a side street in
Hartford, Connecticut, and reading a sign on a wall which said Psychic
Readings! I had never been to a
spiritual counselor or psychic reader before. I had never even thought or cared
about what the next day or week would bring; whatever happened, happened. I was a single parent of a four year old
name Rashad. I was enjoying life and
its many challenges. On this particular
day I walked into a Spiritual Counselor’s office and told him there was
something different about me, and I didn’t know what it was. He asked me if I
wanted a reading. I said yes, just for fun.
Regard not them that have familiar spirits,
neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them; I am the Lord your God.
(Leviticus 19:31) Bill, the Spiritual Counselor, took out his Tarot cards and starting
doing a Tarot Card Reading on me, it lasted about 30 minutes and cost me
$15.00. The reading began with Bill shuffling the cards and cutting the deck in
half. He dealt some cards, positioned them
in a particular pattern, and began his reading. He also combined that reading
with an intuitive reading, which is when he said what was coming through him.
Well, I was feeling real good when I left there, because it seemed like Bill
gave me some interesting points about myself that he didn’t know. Trick!
This goes to show you that Satan will deceive you
into thinking he knows you, even though he doesn’t have the whole picture. God
is the only one that knows our future. Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) also (Rev. 22:13) I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Bill asked if I wanted to learn about meditation,
which was used as a form of relaxation.
I said yes, because it excited me. Bill invited me to some classes he
had going on in his home that night and I went. There were 12 people present
for this meditation class. We learned
how to meditate by first taking a candle and looking at it until the flickering
became still, and then quieting our minds and controlling our thoughts. Looking at the candle was done through the
“third eye,” which was believed to be located in the center of our forehead.
The “third eye” is also known to be one of the seven charkas or seven centers
located in various parts of your body.
Meditation was about being positive and peaceful. Every night for about one hour, I sat and
closed my eyes and meditated until I was able to be consistent in it. It felt good (at that time) and contributed
to me doing this every night. I also
learned how to cancel thoughts that weren’t good. Anytime a thought entered my mind that wasn’t positive, I would
say, “cancel.” These were some of the
different things I was learning while being introduced to New Age Awareness.
Bill first talked about our spiritual walk, reincarnation, and how our being
there wasn’t a coincidence, but part of our spiritual walk.
