It’s funny, I think Carrie told me this before, but it had new meaning yesterday. She mentioned that my grandfather had ‘the gift’. She knew it from the moment she met him. My mom told her that he used to tell people who had been at their house while they were gone on vacation for instance. Grandma would say he couldn’t know that, but he was always right. Carrie says my mom has the gift too, but doesn’t realize it.
Honestly, I didn’t really know my grandpa well. I spent time over there, but was too shy to really talk to him. Besides, my grandma talks a lot, so it takes effort to get a word in anyway. I wish he had lived a little longer so I could ask him about this stuff, but it’s ok.
What’s interesting is how this information changes my perspective some. To know that some abilities run in my family, it makes me feel like I have natural abilities too, even if it’s hard to find them most days. I don’t think it should matter, honestly, because I think everyone has the ability to awaken their intuition and greater awareness, but it does. My logical mind is still so strong, that anything I can do to convince it to relax and go along with things, the better. So, logically, if other people in my family have gifts, I should too. Of course, I know I do, or at least I’ve been told as much. But every little bit helps.
On another note, I’ve been exploring the teachings of Michael, another group of non-physical entities. The teachings are focused on the souls journey, and it’s quite fascinating. There is a lot of information on the website, and I’ll eventually see about finding a book or two. So far, I think I’m a mature to old soul artisan. I have elements of other roles, but artisan seems to resonate the most with me. I’ll update this more as I learn more. But now, back to my thesis.
