I never do the address in church. I leave that to the more experienced people. You're supposed to say something meaningful to the public, before the medium starts. I can never think of anything to say that would interest anyone. I found this story a while back and kept it just in case I was ever called up onto the rostrum to do an impromptu address. Read it and know, that sometimes everything isn't always as it seems!
A ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men
on it were able to swim to a small desert like island. The two
survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they have no
other recourse but to pray to God for help.
However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they decided
to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides
of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the
first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and
he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land
remained barren.
After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for
a wife. The next day, there was another ship wreck, and the only
survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. On the
other side of the island, there still was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, and more food.
The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him.
However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife
could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked on
his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his
wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He
considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings,
since none of his prayers had been answered.
As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from
heaven boom-out, "Why are you leaving your companion on the
island?"
"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for
them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered
and so he does not deserve anything."
"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one
prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have
received any of my blessings."
"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for
that I should owe him anything?"
"He prayed that all your prayers would be answered."

Reincarnation
Some people theorise Reincarnation rests on the belief that after the death of the physical body there is some element left of each person that then goes on to survive. They begin another journey if their existence and therefore the end is only the beginning.
In my opinion I think that once separated from the body the soul becomes all intelligence. In our lifetime it would be very difficult to function if past lives were constantly being remembered. So I believe this is why the soul which the mind cannot touch with thought retains the knowledge if the incarnations and not the spirit.
When we die the two reconnect until the next life begins. I think that we are here on this earth to learn from the raw materials of physical experience. But because we have free will we make some choices which are not always wise and do not nurture our spirit and soul.

1. Claircognizant:
You may be Claircognizant or intuitive and have an inner knowing about things. The information, idea, concept or thought "just comes to you" and has the feeling of "this is important". The knowledge you receive often flashes suddenly into your mind seemingly "out of no where". You may know who is on the phone before you answer it or know personal things about people you just met. You just know something, although you may not know why or how you know it.
2. Clairaudient:
You may be clairaudient and psychically hear sounds, words, sentences, thoughts, tones, music, bells, chimes, ringing, whooshing, buzzing, white noise sounds, songs, and other types of sounds or noises that "pop into your head". You may hear conversations as you fall asleep or wake up between people you may not see. These sounds and words are inaudible to the normal hearing range and most often seem to come from within your head or "out of nowhere".
3. Clairvoyant:
You may also be clairvoyant and see pictures flash in your mind's inner third eye as in-sights. These pictures come as a clear vision or they may be nebulous forms hidden in a cloudy substance. What you see may appear to be superimposed upon a solid object that's in front of you when your eyes are open or you may see the vision within your forehead when your eyes are closed. When the image is of a psychic origin and you aren't thinking it up yourself, the image is seen first and then thought about. It is usually not thought up and then seen.
You may psychically see a person, scene, object, lights, words, colours, auras, symbols, past lives, loved ones in spirit, visions of the past, present or future, and people or places in other spiritual dimensions. These pictures may appear as if you are viewing still photographs or they may be moving like a home movie. You may even feel you are actually in the scene you are seeing.
4. Clairsentient:
You may also be clairsentient and perceive information through a sensation within your physical body. You may get a "gut feeling" in your stomach of what to do or say. You may also get a "gut feeling" of what not to say or do. You may even sense the body aches and ill health of someone else not in the room in specific parts of your own physical body. You may also feel the emotions or personality of another person whom you do not know personally or who is not in the room. You may sense the presence of deceased relatives, guides, and angels.
5. Clairgustant:
You may be clairgustant and psychically taste a substance, liquid or food without actually putting anything in your mouth.
6. Clairiscentrist:
You may also be Clairiscentrist and psychically smell fragrances, flowers, perfume or other odours such as tobacco or alcohol even when a substance or food is not in your immediate surroundings.

My interpretation of the purpose in understanding and accepting life after death.
Ever since I was a child I always ‘felt’ something one was standing just behind me, or just on the border of my peripheral vision. It terrified me. As I matured the feelings seemed to go away and it wasn’t until my children were grown up that the ‘feelings’ returned.
If you had asked me what these feelings were, I couldn’t have put it into adequate words. It was as though someone was standing so close to me I could feel their breath, sense their thoughts. The hairs on the back of my neck would rise, but when I turned no one was there.
One night I was woken by my name being called. At first I thought it was my imagination and I went back to sleep, but within minutes the voice shouted again. In my sleep fogged state I thought it could be one of the children calling me. I didn’t realise at the time that they wouldn’t be calling me ‘Margaret.’ After I had checked the bedrooms and seen the children fast asleep, I became confused. I rationalised that it could have been my husband dreaming and calling out to me.
I went back to bed satisfied with my own explanation only to we woken again by the insistent calling. After a week of sleepless nights I told my mother, who had been a spiritualist for many years, what was happening. She told me it could be the disembodied voices of spirit people calling out to me. I didn’t actually believe her. Dead people couldn’t talk, never mind call out to me.
The voices continued to call out, especially at night. It would happen anywhere. While shopping, watching the TV or just when I was writing my novels. My name would be shouted out as clear as the birds singing outside my window. But I rationalised it as my imagination. I didn’t believe there was such a thing as life after death.
Finally, the calling became so insistent that I had to confront it. So, albeit reluctantly, I went to a spiritualist church. Once there I was incredulous to discover I was sitting with a group of people who had similar experiences as me. I thought my purpose for being there was to understand what the voices were and why they were calling out to me. I think the higher purpose was for me to understand how to use the psychic gifts I already had.
The greatest way to combat fear is to confront it. I was scared to admit there could be life after death, because that would mean that ghosts did in fact exist. But there is a saying, “Knowledge is a gift to be admired.” Over the years I've gained a lot of knowledge and now I'm no longer afraid, just very intrigued.

How to see the Aura
To see the aura you have to be able to relax and concentrate, at the same time, and there is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special way.
1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No harsh light shining or reflecting in your eyes! Get a book and cover it in Blue or Red paper. Stand it upright on a table several feet from you. Experiment with the distance until you find what is best for you. Make sure you have a plain neutral background. If the wall colour is wrong, hang a sheet of neutral coloured paper or cloth as a backdrop.
Note: The auras of the colours Blue and Red are the brightest and easiest to see. Blue has a Yellow aura and Red has a Green aura. The brightness and tone of the aura varies with the shade and tone of the colour used, so use bright primary colours.
2. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, a little to the side and past it. Gently hold and get used to that focus but don't strain your eyes or tense your eyes or forehead. Concentrate! you need a gentle, steady un-focus, similar to day-dreaming.
Note: When you need to blink, do so, or it will cause your eyes to tense and water. Blink normally and quickly without changing focus, and do not become preoccupied with it. It may cause the aura to disappear for a second, but it will reappear quickly if you stay relaxed and hold your focus.
After a while you will see a pale narrow aura coming from the book. Hold the focus, don't look AT it, soon a bright Yellow or Green aura will start building up from the object. Don't change focus or look directly at it or the aura will disappear.
There is a reason for this strange un-focus. Your outer field of vision is many times more sensitive than the focused area is. Have you ever seen a movement, out of the corner of your eye, only to turn and see nothing there? What you may have seen is an aura building up from something and your outer field of vision has detected it.
3. Once you have completed the first step, gather several books and cover them, each with a different coloured paper. Study these one at a time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two at a time, and watch how the auric colours affect each other.
4. Get a pot plant or some flowers and study it. The aura you will see emanates from the living plant and also from the colours of the petals. The Orange hue comes from the green of the stems and leaves. You will also see a more distinct etheric and a shimmering optical effect around them. This shimmering is the energy field or living aura of the plant.
5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you have one. Try and observe them when they are resting.
6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky or clouds. Alternatively, lie down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this, and remember, grass will give off an Orange hue.
7. When you feel proficient enough, try it with a human subject. Just remember not to try too hard. Do it exactly the same as in the original exercise with the book. Get your volunteer to remove some of their clothing and study the bare skin area against a neutral background.
On a human subject, again, the first thing you will see is the etheric aura, like pale smoke clinging to the skin. Next you will see the shimmering optical effect in the air extending from several inches to a couple of feet deep, depending on the strength of their aura. Keep trying and the aura's colour will build up, and out from, the etheric. It will first appear as a narrow band of colour next to the etheric. This will expand slowly, if you hold your focus, until it is several inches or more thick.
8. The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger, larger and brighter. Try playing their favourite music, this will help to energize their aura and make it easier to see.
9. Try it on your volunteer outside. Make sure the sun is behind you and use clouds as a backdrop.
Note: The basic auras of colours are as follows: Blue = Yellow aura, Red = Green aura, Green = Orange aura, Yellow = Pale Blue aura, Orange = Pale Green aura, Violet = Pale Gold aura, Indigo = Gold aura, Pink = Iridescent Green. These colours will vary slightly according to the shade and tone of the colours you use.
It takes practise to see the human aura, so don't be disappointed if you fail, or see very little, the first few times you try. If you managed to see the auric colours of the books, you CAN learn to see the human aura. Using this training method stimulates the forehead chakra, which is responsible for this ability. With use, it will grow in strength, and become progressively easier to do.

Crystal Energy
Many people look at crystals and see them as ‘pretty’ objects they might like as ornaments. But if you look deeper into their history they were around from the very beginning of the universe. When the ‘Big Bang’ occurred, the vibrations of the stones and crystals began.
The Big Bang theory explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe. Prior to that moment, it's believed there was nothing. Research shows that our universe sprang into existence around 13.7 billion years ago. After its appearance, the universe inflated and expanded. It continues to expand and cool to this day.
We are surrounded by vibrations every day; the universe almost pulsates with energy. Rocks, crystals and every living thing, has its own unique vibration. Hearing, sight and smell are all carried out on a vibration level, so it is very important that we hold our crystals in meditation and acknowledge the great wealth of power they store.
Each crystal structure has its own individual personality, or energy field. The energies of the mineral kingdom are known as ‘Universal Energies’. These energies are activated by interaction and contact from the person holding it. Good intention during the use of crystals stimulates the melding between the user and the structure. This furthers the propagation of love, light and ‘the good of all.’

ORB'S.
What are Orbs or spirit lights? They are spiritual energy - usually the first stage of manifestation. They appear to have a mind of their own and move in a deliberate manner, actually manoeuvring in a definite direction. They are quite beautiful, with harmonious hues of rainbow colours. Some, well formed orbs, will even show features within them.
Sceptics believe orbs are dust particles caught on camera or faults occurring from digital photography technology- especially when using a flash. But how can they explain away orbs seen by the naked eye? I have seen them myself. Many photos contain these phenomena. The orbs can be passed relations or loved ones who have manifested themselves in the photographs, just so you can see they are still around you.
