Thank you Rick for all your wonderful feedback and I'm glad you were able to make a connection with some of the information. You are very much admired here at HP and that's really special. Amazing ability we are seeing here. The read I recieved here tonight is the best ever in my time doing readings. You my friend are very kind thank you. Obviously your family was coming through for you Rick, however I'm not totoally sure this session was completely for you as we may be aware. I totally get how we can misinterpret and I get how our spirit families often pop in on another persons session. I've also learned that you can't force someone to take something you feel is for them when they feel differently, but for me it's important to get all feedback with this type of session on a forum like this where the sitter is absent from the session unable to answer yes or no at the moment of communication. I know, I'm a pain in the butt! But I'm sure you and the other readers understand this. I am not trying to take anything away from you Rick, you really seem like a genuine person, here to help others and that's truly a gift, but its important for me to also hear what made sense to zen. I need to add that I feel his/her mother is still here in the physical world. I also feel zen has the brother or he/she or another family member has a connection to a Steve here or in spirit. If zen could validate those two pieces of information spirit will help me to further understand what I may be missing. Thank you again Rick for your kind words especially the JE thing, he has been a teacher of mine through the years through his books and stufy of his work over the airwaves. Although it may seem like I am helping you Rick, it's you and the feedback that you give me as well as zen and others that are really helping me to move forward and I really appreciate it. I've always said, I'd rather be on my end then the sitters end, you guys have to do all the work and that's why I stress to ask your family and friends about anything you don't understand. Key pieces of information that spirit is telling me is the overdoes. This is not to take away from your nephew whose passing was an accident, but there is an overdoes connection with a young male. For all we know Rick, there could be a young make who passed this way that is tied into another family member for you or even wife, I don't know. There is a Dan or Daniel connection to this young man or someone in the family for you or zen. Rick if you do not have more than one brother, than you must have a connection or family must have a connection to a Steve here or in spirit. If neither, than again some or all of the session points to zen. It's really hard trying to clear things up on a forum like this, but it's the best training. It's so important for the medium/intuitive to have the information that came through researched because so much can be missed. Below is an example of someone feeling they knew their family well, but decided to ask family about some of the names that came through and her response is below. Again I'm only posting this to show how important the feedback is to me and to any reader and I'm hoping (not expected) that those I sit with will go the extra mile to help me figure out who is coming through by asking other family members if they can. dreamer Posted: Jan 24 2012, 07:36 PM Newbie Group: Members Posts: 3 Member No.: 15 Joined: 17-January 12 I got an email from my cousin after I asked her a few things to ask my Uncle Mike about, here's what she replied to me: Got your msg this morning and I have to say that's a bit freaky.. My mom was not buynig it, since she's skeptical esp with something online.. She assumed you had to have given information about your family. However, she told me to tell you the connection with Dorothy is that Helen had a close friend Dorothy Quinn, who is actually my mother's uncle Jim's sister in law. My mom had to call her cousin, Cher (and her husband Steve) to get her uncle Jim's number to find out if anything was going on with Dorothy. Cher's mother was Lucille who was my grandmothers sister. Sure enough she had been in and out of the hospital with bone cancer and is ready to pass any day now. I had Mike read it as well and the 2 of them were connecting everything together. FREAKY!!! .. SO Dorothy was my grandma's (Helen) close friend and is in the hospital with bone cancer right now. I'm thinking that the "Sherry" you mentioned could be the "Cher" and "Steve" is her husband. I've never met any of these people before, so maybe my grandma was using these names as a validation more for her son, Mike. I also found out the my great grandma (Helen's mother) was Ethel. I'm not sure when she passed though. Sorry I'm so longwinded. Anyway, if you could zen just give me what made sense to you if you could. I keep being told you have the mother figure still here in the physical world. I could be wrong and may have misinterpreted something and it wouldn't be the first time, but I have to put everything out there as I get it. Aerianne, I was so happy to see that you didn't give any feedback as I would love to try and connect with your family for you. Although I would love to do it now, I don't want to push it as I'm really in pain sitting here so long. Actually I was drawn to your post first, but as I went down the list, his energy got booted to the side when I got to the uncles. LOL So if you just give me some time I will get to this as soon as I'm able to. Thank you in advance for allowing me to try and make a connection with your family. Thank you Rick and thank you Zen Peace
not wanting to add to your pain thresholds 7moons but not ever having known either of my grandfathers and knowing very little about either, wondering if anything can come through for me having often thought about them and if i am like them perhaps. adding to the difficulty is that there is no family left that i can check with, now thinking that this is probably an impossible thing to ask of you so that you can get feedback from me.
The info you posted about Cher and Steve and Quinn. See I connect with all of that. Steve Quinn was a friend I had when I worked in a carpet selling store. Cher is my sister in law who passed so I might connect to more reads. I will let you know.
I have contacted my cousin and am waiting for her response on some stuff that I can not verify because I do not know. I added more hits to my original post. See people say we all make things fit but this is not the case. You got how he died how they found him. Many things connected to me exact dinners exact about my love for energy drinks exact about the twins and the Indian heritage. But most people will say random guesses. I am a true believer in gifts and abilities and I know for a fact you are bringing some to this site and it feels refreshing to have for all the good people a different way to communicate. I would love to try this on people walking down the street but I get warnings all the time. I do not know why but I back off but I would love to stop into Mcdonalds and talk to all those older females having breakfast and by the time I am done the tears and smiles will be flowing. Thanks again I am still working on it.
I wanted to ask for a reading so badly but I really do not feel I have deceased loved ones around me and if I do then they haven't made themselves known... I am fortunate enough to have the people I care for the most still alive and well... (knock on wood) however, if you see/feel something different please let me know.
7Moons, I'll see if I can help with any of this. Just a quick bit: Yes, my mom is alive. The only brother I ever had was stillborn. However I will tell you that there is a guy who is a lot like a brother to me, my best friend in high school and still in contact 40 years later, and his name is Steve. There is another guy whom I haven't spoken to in a few years, but was my pal, roommate, and spiritual mentor when I was in need of one, and I tend to think of him as a brother also. His name is also Steve. I did a thorough write-up of my thoughts on your reading last night. However I really felt I had to stretch like crazy to really make any of what you said fit. But I thought it would be helpful to give you the feedback. Then when I logged on last night and saw how perfectly your reading fit Rick, I thought, "Well, obviously the reading was for Rick, not me." And I deleted the write-up. I've been thinking about this some more today. The thing is, I realize that the spirits have reasons for everything. For some reason they wanted you to call my attention to this reading. I've been trying to think about this and understand why they would have wanted me to think so hard about a reading that really doesn't seem to be about me. I'm still not sure about this. However I will tell you one thought that occurred to me right at the end of my write-up last night. I have a "spirit guide" who is actually a living person who in many ways acts like a spirit. I'm in constant telepathic communication with her, even though she's miles away and doesn't even answer my emails anymore. She is probably the most significant person in my life. Though she's about ten years younger than I am, she's like a mother to me in a spiritual sense. So I was toying with the idea that when the spirits were referring to a "mom," they were symbolically referring to her. It seemed a bit odd to me that the one male spirit who was "talking" to you a lot seemed to keep harping on the "mom." And really, I'm not all that close to my biological mom. I might like to do some more thinking about this. I'll let you know what else I come up with.
Hi 7Moons. I have some more thoughts on your reading. I hafta tell ya, I really don't know if I'm just reading a lot into this to make it fit. However one thing that makes me think it may not be entirely BS is that it would be typical of the kinds of spiritual shenanigans and joking that my spirit guide and her cohorts have pulled on me before. And the other thing is, when I plug my spirit guide - whose name is Deanna, btw - into the slot you interpreted as "mom," I see a LOT of connections. Coincidence? Who the hell knows? So whatever - I'll just tell you what comes to my mind. The older male connected to my "mom" - you got the name Michael. Deanna's dad and granddad were both named Michael, and she also has a brother named Michael. Her granddad Michael died in the month of March. Her Dad Michael died in February. He was only 63 - a bit young by today's standards. A K or C female connect to my "mom" - her maiden name, which is the name she's currently using, starts with a K. Her mom's name is Carolyn. Deanna had a boyfriend who died in an accident in 2008. He was windsurfing off a cliff in California, lost control, and fell to his death. Richard is my name. It's also the name of the uncle I wanted you to contact. The one friend named Steve I mentioned seems to lead a spiritually parallel life to mine in some ways - almost like a twin. He has likened our relationship to two characters who were friends as close as brothers in a Herman Hesse novel - Narcissus and Goldmund. The other Steve I mentioned has the exact same birthdate as mine. You could make a twin analogy with both of these guys. The male mentioned his daughter - but then mentions three girls in the physical world. I'm not sure what to think of this. Deanna has two daughters - so if the male is her dad, he could be referring to Deanna and her daughters. However none of them have an L name. My uncle that I wanted you to contact had two daughters, my cousins. One of them is named Lisa. My uncle never met Deanna, didn't know anything about her during his lifetime. Furthermore I don't think he was particularly close to my biological mom - he's my dad's brother, not my mom's - so I don't know why he would keep bringing up my mom in your encounter with him. The Sarah connection - Deanna's older daughter is named Sarah. The man found dead could be Deanna's boyfriend who died in the accident, I suppose. After he died, she started talking to me again via email. I was 1200 miles away at that point. Then she started dating a guy named George. I never met or talked to George, but I take it he was a fun, entertaining guy, similar to George Carlin. I don't know anything about any overdose. If he says he still comes to visit my "mom" - well the only way that would make sense is if he's Deanna's father and talking about coming to visit her. I can quite easily see this, as I have no doubt at all that she can speak to him as easily in death as she could when he was alive. I have no clue about any Bob or Bobby. Deanna's first husband's last name started with a B. That seems like a big stretch. Deanna's second daughter would be about the age to be starting in college at this point. Deanna's birthday is the 7th of November. I know nothing about any kind of adoption. I know nothing of any twins, either in my family or in Deanna's. I don't remember what Deanna's dad died from. She was with him at his deathbed, so it was a lingering death, not a quick one. That would seem to rule out heart attack. I never met Deanna's dad, but she told me once that she thought he would love my sense of humor, and that my sense of humor reminded her of her dad. From that I gather he was a fun-loving sort. My uncle was also a fun-loving guy. Deanna's dad was apparently quite popular - particularly with women. My uncle also had a lots of friends and connections, and was well loved. If it's Deanna's dad talking, and he mentioned a son, and again said "Michael" - well, as I mentioned, Deanna's brother is named Michael. I don't know anything about a coin collector in Deanna's family. I have a coin collection that I started as a boy. I know nothing of a Stacy. My dad is named Jim - he is still alive. I know nothing of any B female - except possibly Deanna's older daughter, whose last name is still the one that begins with B from Deanna's first husband. Deanna's mom's name is Carolyn. I know nothing about Taco Tuesday, or about an E female. The D female could be Deanna herself. I know of no D females in my own family. I'm addicted to coffee - that's my energy drink. I'm running out of connections at this point in your reading. I can't think who the name Kathy might refer to or why. My uncle's second wife had a family in New York, so she and my uncle used to travel back and forth from California to New York quite a bit. No idea about what the subway refers to. I don't know of any of my family who worked on large machines, nor of Deanna's family. Not sure why he would keep bringing up the name Steve. I would say that my friend Steve who was like a spiritual mentor may very well be in contact with spirits, just as Deanna is - it would not surprise me. The male you describe at the end sounds more like Deanna's dad than my uncle. Her dad had dark hair, whereas at his death my uncle had pure white hair. Oh, and in your other post you mention the name Dan being significant. Deanna is currently married to a guy named Danny. There are no Dans in my family. That's about the best I can do for now, 7Moon. As I said, a lot of it seems like major stretching...yet at the same time, based on prior experience with the spirits' shenanigans, I would not put it past them to hijack my reading and discuss Deanna and her family as if she were my "mom." After all, it is all about Deanna. Then again, in one of the last emails she ever wrote to me in full sentences before cutting me off, she told me I was "family." This reading could be a reminder of that statement. There was a dramatic difference between the lack of connections when I tried to fit the reading to my actual family versus when I inserted Deanna into the "mom" role - suddenly the reading exploded with connections. I'll be interested in seeing your thoughts about all this.
LynnBrown, God bless you sweetie and thank you for adding your post. Hi Scenic, nice to meet you. Peace at mind, love the nic. Although I do from time to time connect with the spirit guides of others it's not something I do over a forum like this so I don't feel I could help with that part, but if I'm drawn to you, you never know about those in spirit.
I have another nephew and he is Kay's son Daniel. I feel this is all me. So far no Steve and no suicide. But I would like to tell you my mom always acted like she was taking an overdose to get us from fighting.
Hi alwayscrakers cute nic Once a lady and her husband came to see me. The lady said she was only there to support her husband as she didn't have anyone in spirit. Although the session was about her husband and his family she also was given a few messages and also reconnected with a girl in high school who she only knew of through a close friend and the story of how she had passed. The girl brought through things about the lady's past and things that she was going through now for evidential purposes and a few names of people they new in school, then gave her some words of encouragement for an issue she was going through at the time. Many times those we never even met will come through to lift us up or give us proof that life exist beyond the physical which is why I push the issue with asking ALL family and friends. Sometimes we are use as a messenger to get a message to a friend, a co-worker, a classmate or neighbor and how wonderful is that as we still walk away having made a difference and being touched by spirit. If your grandparents are up for the task and they can get my thick head to pay attention then there is a good possibility that you can still hear from them and embrace the information that comes through. If I am drawn to your post at some point I will do my best to listen and give you everything that I see, hear and feel. Nice meeting you alwayscrackers.
Hi Rick, This is cracking me up. Funny because I wasn't going to post the entire session only because I wanted to further help someone reading the post to understand how this can sometimes work, but instead got a strong feeling just to post some of the feedback from that session with permission of course. There are some things that I feel did not fit, but it's obvious your family is communicating and validating all the more to you they are coming through. This sister in law that passed is not your wife's sister correct Rick? By my asking this question will me to further understand a few things.
Zen, I have to leave as I take care of my mother and must take her a few places. I'm not here to debate whether you feel it isn't for you or Rick feels it is for him I'm only trying to hone my abilities and further understand what spirit is saying to me and in doing this I hope that through these session I help others as well. I appreciate your honesty and I thank you and Rick both for taking the time to give the feedback that you have. Peace
I'm not trying to debate anything. It doesn't really matter much to me who the reading was for. I'm just offering my feedback, cuz it seemed like you wanted some, and I thought it might help you clarify some things for yourself, and thus for us also. But whatever, no problem either way. The exercise was interesting for me, and I suspect, as my spirit guide Deanna is telling me telepathically, that the reading was for BOTH Rick AND me. The spirits can do amazing things, including, if they so desire, making a reading such as this one valid for two different people simultaneously. I also suspect that the spirits are purposely messing with my ego, which is one of their main activities in my life. Or maybe it's all hogwash... I've jumped through the hoops, and now I'm letting it go. Anyway 7Moon, thank you again for taking the time for this. I'll be looking forward to your readings for others.
Zen, didn't you mention in another thread yesterday, something about your daughter and school? There was something in this read about this. 7Moons, I can may be claim lots of the stuff in the read but I won't because it would give away info before my read.
Yes, my daughter Anna recently started attending a therapeutic high school. Sure, there's a possible tie-in.
Hi Zen, yeah after I left I thought maybe debate wasn't a good choice of words and I totally get that there will be things in other posts that you may have mentioned, but hopefully something or enough was brought through to at least get us all thinking. Yes I did want it and again I thank you for it, really and Rick I'm thankful for all that you have put out there and are still looking into. When you mentioned your mother this really tugged at me. Maybe mom would like to step forward. I don't know if you wrote that mom had the brother or not, but the woman that even stand here now with me claims the brother. She also talks about the brother being here in the physical world weather yours or hers. She holds up two fingers now and says to tell him two brothers. Also she wants me to say Mary so hopefully that hasn't come up as well. They will repeat themselves as well, but I'm putting it out there. Who goes by the name Dick? My father's name is also Richard, but everyone refers to him as Dick. I'm glad that you got something out of the session and I wish you and zen the best on your paths. Thank you for allowing me to connect with your families. Peace to you both
