Anticipate the Days to Come
Opening Remarks
Good afternoon, my friends.
It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be with you this afternoon and to have the opportunity to share a few thoughts with you. For several years, I have been telling you that you are approaching a time when everyone will be their own medium and will connect with the World of Spirit. We have also been telling you that in the future, people will come to you and you will be their teacher, providing them with the knowledge they need. For some of you, that thought may provoke some fear, nervousness, or insecurity. And that is the topic for today’s discussion.
For that emotion of fear and insecurity, not knowing if you can do it, is precisely what you need to avoid. For that fear will block our ability to work with you. Today, I wish to discuss feelings and emotions, and their role in communication with the Spirit World.
You were talking today during your sending and receiving about tomato plants, and it occurred to me that it is a perfect analogy. People deal with their tomato plants differently. Some people visit a nursery, buy baby tomato plants, and then stick them in the ground to watch them grow. Other people purchase packages of seeds and plant them in the ground, water them, and watch them grow. And I’d like to talk about the people who grow tomatoes from seeds. When you plant that seed in the ground, cover it with dirt, and water it, then you step away and allow it to do its thing, if you want to use that term. For you cannot stand over that tiny seed that just got its first drink of water and say, “Come on, seed, grow!” I love fresh tomatoes. I want to have a tomato tomorrow, that you’re going to produce, grow, grow, grow! It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t work that way at all, for the seed has its own time for development, its own time to blossom. No one can speed up that process. It is its natural development. What I need you to understand is that your expectation of whether or not I can do this. Can I allow Spirit to speak through me? It’s the same thing as telling the seed to grow now. What you have to do is have the expectation of: I can do this. I will do it when the time is right. You need to take the pressure off yourself, worry less about your ability, and just trust the process so that it can happen. Because your expectation of fear about it will impede it.
As you all know, I used to discuss the Bible as a book of psychic history. I wish to discuss a Bible story not for its religious message, but because it is a prime example of what I’m speaking about. The book of Jeremiah opens with God speaking to Jeremiah, a teenage boy. We’re not sure whether or not he knew anything about mediumship or being a prophet.
Suddenly, he hears God’s voice telling him that he wants him to go out and speak God’s message. Jeremiah is very reluctant, as he’s unsure he can do that. He explains that to God, and God tells him, “I will put the words in your mouth. You will speak to them, and I will fortify you so that you will not be afraid of the people you’re talking to.
What we are saying to you today is not to be concerned about the days to come, whether or not you will be able to teach the people in the future. What you need to do is just be in a neutral emotional state and allow us to speak.
Many of you have been witnessing mediumship for decades, while for others, it has been only a matter of years. Still, the point we want you to focus on is that the medium is not concerned about what is going to happen. The medium approaches it without expectation and does not worry whether he or she can do it or not.
Initially, the medium I am speaking through was very concerned about his abilities; however, that is no longer the case. He has learned that when the time comes and he needs to be the speaker of our words, the words will be there, as long as he’s not fearful. The same message that was told to Jeremiah.
So do not be concerned about your ability in the future. What you need to do is learn to trust us, to trust in Spirit. For beginning mediums, it’s one thing to enter a practice circle and deliver a message. It’s another thing to stand in front of a group of people in a church service and deliver a message. However, it is actually easier in some ways to deliver a message in front of a group of people, provided you have trust in us being there. If you just let go, the words will start to come. Now, we’re not expecting you to stand on stage in front of people; you will probably be talking to a couple of people at a time. What we’re saying is just approach it in a state of neutrality. Don’t worry about anything. Expect that you’ll be successful, for that leads you into a mindset that allows us to access you and put the words in your mouth, as was told to Jeremiah.
I want you to think about something and think about it very carefully. There is a scientist in Japan. I believe his name is Dr. Emoto, and he conducted experiments with water. He took a small amount of water, let’s say a little glass of water, and sent positive thoughts to it. Then he put the glass of water into the freezer and froze it. The ice crystals were in specific patterns. Then he took another bottle of water and sent it with really angry, negative thoughts. After he froze it, the ice crystals formed in a completely different set of patterns, which were not as symmetrical; they looked angry, jagged, and hostile, if you will. The water molecules absorbed the positive and negative thoughts and manifested them into the ice crystals. It was an experiment that proved that Thoughts are things. The water reacted to those thoughts. Depending on whether it is a positive thought or a negative thought, if that is happening to water molecules, imagine what happens when you send out a thought about whether you can handle what’s going to happen in the future. It’s the same reaction, only you’re not going into the freezer. You’re acting on your own receptivity to the Spirit World if you have positive thoughts about it when the time comes. Think: “I’ll be able to handle it when the time comes,” and you’ll do well. Do not let fear and negative thoughts overwhelm you. Do NOT think: “I don’t know if I can do this, will I say the right thing?” It impedes our ability to work with you.
So, my message is, and I suppose I’m being a bit long-winded about it, that I want you to be in a neutral state, a positive state, or a state of anticipation, saying, “I can’t wait to work for the Spirit World and have them speak through me.” Because when you say that, you are opening up the doors for us to speak when the time is right. That is our message today.
We want you not to be fearful because the times that you are facing are full of uncertainty. However, fear does not help you on any level in relation to what will happen. You need to be in either a neutral state or a state of anticipation to help us communicate effectively through you. So, like Jeremiah, we can put the words in your mouth, and you will speak the correct words to help others and be their teacher and guide on how to proceed in the days to come. I hope you can appreciate the seeds of what I said today and will be able to think about them, meditate on them, focus on them, and allow yourself to be optimistic and excited about the events that will happen in the future, rather than being fearful of them. I think you understand the detrimental qualities that fear can cause at this point. So, if you can’t be enthusiastic, jumping up and down, saying I can’t wait to be a mouthpiece for Spirit, at least be neutral and say I will handle it in the days to come, with enough confidence to know that it will happen. I hope you will take these words to heart and put them into practice.
So be it!

Closing Remarks
Once again, my friends, we are delighted to be of assistance to you at these meetings. We hope you can understand the importance of what we discussed. You need to walk into the days to come without fear, and in great anticipation, not only for the changes that will happen on the earth plane, the changes in people’s attitudes and knowledge, but also on a more personal level, anticipation for you to be a part of this change. Each of you will have the opportunity to serve in the progression of this knowledge, acting as a teacher and way-shower for others. Be in joyous anticipation of being able to serve in that capacity. Do not be fearful of it.
The greatest thing you can do is utilize your knowledge of mediumship; the fact that you’re not mediums is irrelevant, but you understand the importance of being free from negativity for effective communication. So, erase negative thoughts like “I’ve never done this before, and I’m unsure if I can do it.” Instead, think “I will have the opportunity to do this and I am excited to serve in that capacity,” and just have the knowingness that when the spotlight comes on you, you will rise to the occasion and be able to do what needs to be done, and say what needs to be said. And it will be innate to you. It’d be almost as if you are “possessed” to do it, and that word possessed has some negative connotations, and we don’t mean it negatively. But it will just come out of you naturally without you thinking about it, because as was stated before, we will be there to put the words in your mouth, and the words will just flow out of your mouth, like turning on the tap of your sink and the water just flows. You don’t think about the water flowing, and that’s what’s going to happen when the time comes that tap in your brain will turn on. The words will just come out of your mouth, and part of you might sit back and say, “Where is all this coming from and you’ll know it’s coming from either the world of Spirit or from other dimensions. It matters not which it is, and therefore, just allow it to continue flowing until it naturally stops. And then your teaching for that day will come to an end. Do not fear it, but anticipate it with excitement, and that will enable the faucet to open freely. And then the words to flow. That is our message for you today.
It has again been a great pleasure for us to speak with you, and we hope that we have inspired you with ideas to consider and a way to shape your thoughts and feelings about the days to come. And that you are going to look at it with excitement and not dread and fear, for that is extremely important. With that, my friends, we must withdraw, leaving you with our blessings, our love, and our profound appreciation, for it is not easy to walk in the physical world with one foot in the spiritual world. Many people are unaware of how to do that, and you are learning how to do it. And we are most appreciative of that fact.
So be it!
