If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. – Jim Rohn
I started talking about my experience with Nightlights tentatively… Only after I gave up worrying about what people would think of me did I finally release my resistance to exposing my full viewpoint on that encounter and on my ongoing experiences. It has taken nearly 10 years. If anyone told me it would take that long to become truly comfortable with this lifestyle – I would have gone a different direction. And I would have lost a life treasure.
I was afraid of losing credibility in my broadcast environment so that I could continue to do News…funny thing that…I lost interest in doing News, or at least the conventional presentation of News. I knew how it worked and the process under which it was manufactured. That reality didn’t fit with what was happening right before my eyes. I finally had to stop denying Me.
{My view of news. The best news is story telling at it’s finest. It is not dispassionate nor is it 50/50 split…Ever…regardless the label/marketing.}
The event that shifted my life (my own ability to sense energy expanded) was so beyond explanation and life enhancing that all of my paranormal encounters prior to that paled in comparison. I was given an entirely new frame of reference for being and relating and existing. It had more credibility – given the wonderful life-affirming experiences that accompanied the information. And it required a major overhaul of my Belief system.
I decided to continue to allow that event to shape my life. The nightlights triggered the shift. I started seeing nightlights flash in December of 1997 – the one I have plugged into the same outlet as my computer – flashes nonstop or goes dark and comes back on intermittently … without making any impact on the other electrical mechanisms. I have another in my bedroom that does the same thing.
If I take them with me, they respond to me there as well. Needless to say they are not in business to be conventional nightlights. They are my tools and my guidance mechanisms. I cannot begin to teach anyone how to do that. I can only say it is possible because it is possible for me.
I wrote a book to share the experience and to highlight what evolved from investigating the initial encounter. (I understand now it was a life-shift) I learned to become a channel….Never expected to do that!!! Not with a News Background!! But I wanted to understand what was happening and explore it through whatever means I could access. The intuitive realm opened up a connection. I chose to continue my education and investigate other events because they kept happening and … for the first time in my life … I was no longer Afraid. I was forced to explore my fear and let it go.
Ghosts, Animal Spirit, Mediumship, Energy Medicine and Healing, Mind Science. The world opened up. I left what I fought so hard to cling to because I was no longer comfortable being stuck navigating such a finite view of my reality. I discovered and experienced more.
I continue to explore and encourage those who are searching to trust your own hunches and feelings. Understand what you are afraid of and why. Until we conquer fear, we are stuck in one plane. When that monster becomes a mouse, we are free to lift the veil covering the door to the Universe… within and without.
There is a reason we are not given all of our answers when we demand them…. Answers are not a given; they are a work in process. We actually have to do some work on our self to determine our unique answer. Sometimes it is an answer no one else can see until we bring it to light.
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” – T. S. Eliot
Oh how I love what you shared today! We must be willing to die while we are alive, we must be willing to cross the threshold not matter how scary or strange it may seem. I love the T.S. Eliot quote. It is so wise! You are a living example of what it means to let go. The paradox of risk in this sense is that in reality there is no risk, only reward.
Wonderful post!

Thank you for understanding! Allow me to explain in a metaphor. This was a difficult life test and a true challenge…me holding my hand on the only cookie I wanted in the jar…It was the best cookie and I had it in my grasp… Then a mysterious firefly appeared…it had appeared before in different guises and I just brushed it aside.
This time, it talked…and asked me to follow it into a new world I was not even sure existed. There was no enticement or bending of will. It was to be my choice but I would have to let go of everything I had…in addition to the cookie. The light was beautiful and full of warmth. I had to trust. I released the cookie and stepped through the looking glass. — And really, I don’t know where those ten years went. I am still in awe of this nightlight thing that “ten years” is more of a “Pinch me…is this my life?” Some things words cannot explain. I gave up what I thought I truly wanted because I felt called to explore. And I would do it again.
