I used to visit spiritualist churches and attend various venues where paranormal events were hosted, hoping to meet like-minded people who, like me, could act as instruments and make contact with the other side. I wanted to learn more, discover more about myself, and understand my abilities. I had felt alienated for most of my life because I had not met anyone who could do the same, so it was a great relief to discover that I was not alone.
I observed the “ME” syndrome as a common theme nearly everywhere I went. People wanted to be the centre of attention or to feel special because of their abilities. At the same time, I noticed that many people with the ability idolised their guides on the other side. There was often a sense of pride when referring to the “very special” guides who had chosen to work with them. Beneath this was sometimes an underlying sense of competition among the gifted regarding whose guide was the most important.
I must admit, I was young, and I became caught up in the excitement for a short while before Spirit brought me back down to earth and taught me, albeit the hard way.
The ability is not about us. We are simply instruments in service, and neither is it about the guides who work alongside us. They join us in our mission to serve God and humanity, regardless of their social status or who and what they are. In God’s eyes, we are all equal.
It is challenging to be blessed with a rare ability and manage it without letting it control us. However, that is the challenge and the defining factor that allows truly gifted instruments to shine.
