Have you ever gone through a time when suddenly you can see what’s in front of you more clearly?

I’ll never forget the first time I saw through some of what had been making it difficult for me to see what was right in front of me.

I was in my 4th grade Catholic school classroom, sitting in the midst of an emotional battlefield happening between a nun and another child my age. It didn’t feel safe to be in a body in that room during this battle. But then I felt as if a filter that had been blocking my ability to see what was happening, suddenly lifted

This recording is a conversation I recently had with a group of Art of the Seer students, who had just finished their training.

These students had just completed a year long program in which they were learning how to turn on and work with their clairvoyant abilities, and use these abilities within themselves, and in their own lives.

Over the course of a year, each student in this class attended 42 clairvoyant classes and about 84 student reading labs. They showed up for group events online, attended growth counseling sessions, buddy read outside of class time, and meditated every day.

What if your real value is based on how you value yourself?

When you value yourself, you teach others that you have value, which sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it? If you've been thinking it works the other way, and have been trying to find your value out there, rather than within, you've been depending on others to tell you what you’re worth. Or, you’ve judged your value based on how you think you compare to others.

Even if you and I never meet or see each other’s creations, we give to each other when we create something from within ourselves.

You don’t have to call yourself an artist, or want to be one, in order to make your art.

Nobody else has to see or validate that you made something, it can be your own personal creation.

The spirit of you has always been available for you in your life, even when you thought you were all alone.

Every time you took the time to really listen and check in with yourself, you could find this powerful part of you - your truest self - waiting and ready to assist you. If you already have a meditation practice, you’ve experienced how meditating helps you quiet down within yourself, so that you can hear your own wisdom.

Your imagination is one of the most powerful parts of you.

Everyone now alive on this earth, and for generations before us, has lived during a time of war. We are programmed from the start to imagine war, and to believe that we have no power over its inevitability.

As an art student many years ago, I practiced the art of learning to see in a whole new way.

In my studio art classes, I learned how to use a view finder, which is basically a piece of paper with a hole cut out in it. It can be any size, small or large. You look through the hole that you cut, and the frame around the hole blocks out anything that isn’t what you are looking at. This helps you focus and see more clearly, maybe even discover new things or compositions you hadn’t seen or considered yet.

I grew up an enthusiastic reader, and spent many happy hours with my nose in a book.

I’m grateful to have had parents who encouraged my love of reading, and had it for themselves too. Our house was a home filled with books and permission to create. From the beginning, reading books sparked my curiosity and sense of wonder, as well as my creativity.

Today is a perfect day to begin to be kind to yourself.

Especially if you specialize in self criticism, in which nothing you do is good enough for you, it’s good to remember that you are a human being. An added bonus is that when you choose to be nice to yourself, you are teaching others how you want to be treated. You can decide to give yourself a break, and to give yourself permission to make mistakes.

Today is a great day to begin a new practice: say yes.

Especially if you have an automatic habit of saying no, start to say yes instead.

Your ‘yes’ welcomes new experiences and opportunities into your life. New people come along with those new experiences. Fresh points of view help you to break out of old tired routines.

If you want to have a more colorful life, learn how to use your clairvoyant ability.

Clairvoyance is the spiritual ability to see energy clearly. You were born with this - it’s the ability to see more than what is just in front of you, or presented to you. Clairvoyance makes it possible for you to see deep into a situation or energy, including your own, and to see the truth that might not be visible otherwise.

Clairvoyance is the psychic ability to see clearly.

Someone practicing the art of clairvoyance can learn to use this brilliant spiritual tool to see themselves clearly - with compassion, forgiveness, and love. The greatest clairvoyant ability is to see yourself clearly.
