The essays in this section are about how to develop one's non-physical based awareness and perception. We all have the capabilities to do so and if developing yours is a goal these compositions will be of benefit to you.
Part 3, 4 and 5 of the Awakening Our Gifts series appear to be the same as the same text shows, but they are not. They appear this way because they are linked to a poem and with each essay more of the poem is revealed and only the first few lines of each essay shows on this page.
Awakening Our Gifts
There is splendour behind the illusion
It is all around us and wherever we look
It is unfortunate that it gets lost in the looking
There is mystery in the seeking,
A game of hide and seek with ourselves
We will poke and prod and see what we discover,
Until it’s time to step aside
So that the hidden can speak
And silence the hunger
That keeps us from being

We are a powerful consciousness, one that slips into shadow in the glare of everyday life. It is our empathy, telepathy, ability to be sensitive and work with energy and access to our intuition, our non-rational capabilities (those not rooted in thoughts), that are typically lost in the shadows. Our consciousness is not hiding; we put it there and have caged it because of our tendency to think too much and poorly. Un-caging it is just the nature of our adventure, hence poorly is not meant as a negative, it is merely a reality, it is part of the nature of the very consciousness we would like to unfold.
Awakening Our Gifts
Back in the late 80’s, I was at a bar enjoying myself with a couple of friends when a young man walked up to me and stated he’d heard I was psychic. I remember thinking that was an odd introduction, especially since I’d never called or referred to myself as a psychic and wondered who he was. Of course, I do not remember exactly what I said, but essentially I asked him where he had heard that. He mentioned the person who had told him I was, who I did know, which had me wondering why he would say that as I never had. I did say something to the effect that everyone was and asked why he mentioned it.
