The document discusses the soul and its importance. It says the soul can evoke powerful feelings and demands changes that seem illogical but are important to honor. Ignoring the soul's demands can lead to unhappiness, so it's important to trust the soul's wisdom through activities like meditation, art, and dreaming. The author feels honored to help others connect with their souls through tarot readings. They advertise upcoming tarot workshops and quote Cora Richmond on the growing spirituality in the world.

Psychic Readings by Kathleen
We don’t speak much about soul in our culture. We become conscious of our soul
typically by the quality and enormity of feelings evoked in particular situations. Like
those triggered while gazing at an object of arresting beauty, or listening to music, or
contemplating a natural wonder. Our hearts swell with a feeling of expansive and
unconditional love such as that we may feel towards a child or lover. We may awaken
from a dream knowing we have been touched by a sacred influence and be inspired by an
inexplicable urge to make a change. This yearning isn’t always gentle or comforting! It
can erupt in a storm; abrupt, alarming and devastating.
Is soul then a part of nature? Does it live in our bodies? What is its purpose?
Once we have acknowledged there is a part of us which is profoundly and mysteriously
compelling, more so than any other aspect of ourselves, we are confronted with a myriad
of inexplicable dilemmas. What is our true self? Because for certain this aspect of
ourselves that we call soul can be (and often is!) at odds with our conscious and indeed
seemingly logical life choices. Soul may demand that we make changes that are just plain
silly in their terrifying lack of logical justification. They might not even be nice,
considerate or kind. Maybe not even moral in some people’s eyes!
We learn too often the hard way the devastating consequences of ignoring or even worse,
minimizing the import of these tough soul demands! we suffer soul sickness and descend
into the netherworlds of boredom, burn out, and mediocrity so appropriately depicted in
the painting The Scream by Edvard Munch. Our lives feel flat, stark and purposeless. We
want to scream at its merciless and sterile predictability.
We might be driven to desperately grasp at quick fixes like shopping, gossiping or
substances that numb the suffering such as wine or drugs. Inevitably we will have to
listen carefully to our soul’s guidance to survive. It is vaster, wiser, and more loving than
any other part of you. Trust the wisdom of your soul and if you cannot bear to take its
advice explicitly then at least give it the time and attention it so deserves. Whether you
realize it or not, your soul is why you are here. Paint, sculpt, write stories, record and
contemplate your dreams, meditate - whatever it takes to honour your soul’s sacred
messages. As your soul communicates its guidance and you acknowledge its wisdom,
your experience of life will deepen. Laughter will come more easily, living fully in the
present will be the norm and your relationships will be more authentic. You’ll be
immediately aware when someone or something is soul defying and be ready to put some
distance between you.
I am always so humbly honoured to do work that is the fulfillment of my soul’s
intention. I listen not only to my own soul’s song but to that of others who come to me
for help in turning up its volume. My connections with others are never mundane or

2. dictated by conformity or obligation. I value all the soulful interactions I have every day
and wish you the same.

Quote:
“The time is not far distant, when raps, tippings, writings, and even trance-speaking, or
any extraordinary manifestations, will all pass away, and people in the external image of
their own divinity will see, and hear, and feel the presence of the angel-world all around
them, and their own souls shall not require an external vision, or external feeling, or any
of the external senses, to prove that spirits and angels are really here. They shall come
in the stillly night, with soft and pleasant voices. They shall sing the songs of perfect love
and peace; and no one will have a doubt. This is our prophecy. How is it to be done? By
a gradual and almost imperceptible growth into a more spiritual condition; and, as it is
reaching its culminating point, the time may not be as far distant as most people may
imagine. Spirituality is far more rapidly growing upon the inhabitants of earth than in
any former period of human history. The slow steps of a world, for ever slow in
acknowledging the truth, shall accomplish more in the next fifty years than it has done in
the last thousand. Yet it will be slow, for it must come step by step, like the wheels of
some majestic chariot; the more majestic and grand, the more slow and solemn shall be
it’s approach. It shall not come to you at once, with an overwhelming power, like the day
of pentacost, or like the mighty avalanche which at once buries all opposing obstacles;
but softly, gently, gradually, like the approach of a genial summer after a dreary winter,
when day by day the buds and blossoms put forth, and ere long you reap the fruition of
the golden harvest; or, like the quiet repose of slumber, when you sleep you shall not
know how you came to sleep.”

Cora was 18 years old when she channeled this discourse. I know Cora as my spiritual
guide which is why I quote her so often!
