Crossing Over with John Edwards - Part 2
November 12th 2006 04:45
I will say that it is not fireworks and rocket-type transformation here… it is a small, quiet ‘pffup’ that stays with you. If I didn’t know better, I’
say it's a seed of real hope that life after death exists and it's not about damnation... no doubts... (well, unless you want it to be?)
John basically deals with groups or what he calls ‘families’ and I’m not going to tell all, because that would be cheating him… and everyone should see him if the opportunity arises....I will tell though of one reading which he did for a woman directly two rows behind me...
Ushers line the theatre throughout with microphones which are passed along the row and handed to you if he picks you.
JOHN: “In that family group there…I’m getting a boy who was burned alive… who was burnt there?"
It took three minutes for a woman and her daughter to own up and stand up even though he was pointing directly at them!
JOHN: “I’m getting an A, who’s the A name…?”
WOMAN: “No, no body by that name?”
JOHN: “No, there’s an ‘A’, who’s the A… Aaron, or Arnie or Alan…?
Daughter whispers something to her mother. Mother burst into great sobs….
MOTHER: “My sons name was Alan…”
The crowd sighs…tears spring forth everywhere as recognition and validation waves through the space.
JOHN: “He wants you to know that he’s sorry about the fire…. Hang on… [John tilts his head and looks like he’s listening to something] I’m not getting a lit cigarette… no…id he cause it with matches… I’m getting matches…I’m striking a match and setting fire to the house…”
MOTHER : [sobbing uncontrollably]; “Yes, he did.”
JOHN: "I'm getting two deaths, who was the other one...."
MOTHER: "No, only one, only one son..."
JOHN: “He’s saying ....no wait.....[tilts his head again] ...he’s saying sorry for the cat… I’m getting a ‘B’ name... its a pet”
Both mother and daughter burst into deep body wracking sobs as recognition and validation deepens…
JOHN: “He’s sorry that the cat died in the fire… does that make sense..?”
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER: [both crying] “yes…it did… it was called Boots”
JOHN: [to the daughter/sister] “Now he’s talking about you… he’s saying… about the … Ooh… the many things he introduced you to that Mum doesn’t know about…”
The crowd and Daughter start laughing.
DAUGHTER: “Yes," [laughing and crying…]
JOHN: “Well he’s talking in Australian and he’s saying he’s sorry about the night he got you pissed….”
Daughter burst into uncontrollable crying.
JOHN: “It is a funny thing he wants you to know not to feel responsible…he just went downhill. People said it would get better and he would pull out of it, but he’s saying he just couldn’t and he’s sorry. He’s okay and sorry…”
JOHN: [to daughter] “He wants you to stop drinking now…”
And it’s over… John moves onto the fellow two seats to the left looking for someone with a huge fish phobia and another reading. Again minutes of denial and then finally recognition by a couple who had just returned from the Barrier Reef and their son had a complete fit when lowered into the water and a large fish swam up to him. I pull another tissue out of the little packet sitting on my lap… in preparation…
Sure enough, it was the Father of this boy who had an old school friend who had died and came through, name and age and dates and all details… then we moved on to another… He got through about 20 readings in all. He talks for an hour and reads for about one and a half.
What I particularly liked about him is that he won’t move on if people can't relate… he keeps saying… “No, it’s SARAH… definitely SARAH, who can relate between you three people.” If no one can he keep sgoing till someone within a small radius (family group) can... he doesn't move on saying; "Oh well, what about Michael, does anybody have a Michael etc.,..." He took 10 minutes to locate Sarah and it was her sisters boyfriend who died in a motorbike accident.
I think people just don't know or they go blank....What soon became evident is that the family unit does not mean what it used to mean to the modern world… people really don’t know the names and affairs of their grandparents, uncles and even parents, sisters, brothers, children… Fewer people know who their blood families are and fewer and fewer can come through…
What also became evident is that people are very slow and mostly live their lives in denial… and that I got a nod of acknowledgement as he left the stage…
?) He does private readings but there is a three year waiting list and it’s closed right now.

One of the episodes I loved most is when he said he was (for the first time in his career) "getting" A religious dog. Naturally, the audience chuckled. He then drew in the air with his hands the shape of a building and said, "This is the church. There's a dog in the church. That's what I'm seeing... a religious dog."
Turned out to be a St. Bernard.
Psychic amnesia is his term for people who can't remember the details he brings forward until the light bulb lights up with awareness and they go, "Oh, yeah!" - Just like you describe here with the woman and her "A" name.
I do have several deceased loved ones, including two of my children's fathers. One died at 18 as a result of an automobile accident (he'd have turned 34 yesterday), and another who took his own life after we'd separated ways. My sister used to call me the black widow as another man with whom I was in a two year relationship also took his own life. My desire to see John isn't out of "need"; I believe I get messages from my departed loved ones without outside assistance, but there is a "pull" drawing me to see John Edward live and in action... maybe if only to come to terms with my own ability to receive such messages.
My daughter jokes that if I went to his show, he'd acknowledge a "group" or "line" of souls trying to get my attention.
What I like most about his show, I believe, are his closing comments insuring everyone that we all have communication skills and don't need to seek out a psychic for validation. I also like the way he opens the scope of his readings by saying that messages directed at one person or family may include truths and awarenesses for others who are watching. That allows everyone to participate whether they're getting a reading or not.
Thanks for the extra show details. I enjoyed the read a great deal!

…thanks for your note. Yes so true… It's exactly how it was with me because of my own gifts… it was exactly as you say. Most of the readings went off around my section of the great hall... and then that acknowledgement from John at the end and a verbal ‘thanks,’ … was very interesting (and a bit exciting). I was consciously acting as a conduit by my own efforts and not interested in getting a message for myself as I am square with the issues... focusing on keeping my chakras open was not always easy because he talks and moves in a lovely way and it got a little distracting at times...*laughing*
What was interesting was that yesterday I was booked to give a reading to an old client of mine and I found my reading ability move to another level. So profound to both me and my client…that I was in tears a couple times - empathy fully switched on. Whatever transpired on Friday nite was really empowering in my work and my perceptions are much sharper as a result.
I am sorry for your losses, it sounds like there have been hard times there... however, for that reason I would recommend that you see John if you can, because I believe like me, you will be strengthened through the experience, maybe even get a message yourself.... would be fantastic in reaffirming that you are not responsible for the choices of others, exactly like that young boy who was burnt said, he just kept going downhill, nobody was to blame... he nose dived, not those who loved him...you can’t afford to take things too personally, can you ...
Great blessings to you

He did an amazing interview with Jon Safran and Father Bob on TripleJ a few weeks back. He has such a lovely energy.

...he does have a great energy... erggm... I found it a bit distracting at times *giggling and winking*
...but seriously... the point to anyone being psychic is that we all are... its just a matter of letting go and trusting. John grew up around psychics all his life. His mother was fanatical and spoke to discarnate spirits around him all the time... all the psychic people used to come and visit when he was a boy and the talk was always about the "real' world of psychic living... there was no hocus-pocus : 'BAD' vibrations about it... no doubts... no guilt trips... no self righteousness or false piety. The result is that a fully trusting John was able to grow up comfortable with being able to see and hear several levels of reality - what I often call multi-verses - other dimensions whose vibrations are a little quicker (or lighter) than ours. He could stay in contact because they are not clothed in the dense matter that we are, however, they are not angels either and many of them are earthbound and special care needs be taken for the novice in dealing on this level. Guided by his mother and many friends, John just learnt protection and how to listen properly to all sounds, to smell and breathe and see all things with open eyes that do not judge, criticise or 'put others down' in order to be taller...the irony is we can all be like John Edwards, but most of us have half a lifetime of un-learning to do first...and certainly none of us have learnt sufficient auric protection to even try!
Thanks for your great response…

I see John Edwards is coming to Brisbane at the end of the year again. This all fascinates me intensely... and scares the cr*p out of me too if that makes sense! What a wonderful gift to have.
I recently read a book called 'Many Lives, Many Masters' about a woman who went to many therapists in order to deal with this inexplicable depression she had over the years. They could find nothing that she hadn`t already dealt with that could explain it all and eventually she started seeing a hynotherapist.
Together they unlocked 84 (I think?) of her past lives and as she went back through all of them she began to recognise all these people that she knew in her current life... this same group of souls had moved through time together on their journey from as far back as ancient roman and egyptian times, all playing different roles. It was such an interesting book.
After she had unlocked all of it her depression began to lift... it was life changing for her.
Amazing, amazing subject.

That is exactly how I understand it to be...it feels sooo right, doesn't it?
I haven't read this particular book, but have heard of it... I think it will make interesting reading one day...
It is fascinating, really fascinating for me too... and this was a great gift, you are right. I'm deeply endebted to the giver, but she won't have it *chuckle* I caught her out on her birthday though, don't you worry ...*giggle* Found the exact thing for her...
Lots luv
