I used to be involved with seminar work. It was a time of my life that revolved around intense growth and self-awareness. Following each seminar there would be a celebration. Sponsors of participants, past participants and family would gather just to enjoy the energy. It was always a joyous time, a time of community and fellowship. During the celebration the people who had just completed the basic seminar would be encouraged to sign up for the advanced seminar. There was a $200 savings incentive to sign up that night. Well, a woman who had just completed the basic really wanted to sign up for the next advanced seminar, but she could not afford it. She was a single parent and could barely afford the basic seminar. What she needed was $1,000, and she needed it that night. At some point during the evening, the owner/facilitator of the organization approached her and asked if she was going to do the advanced seminar. She told him she would love to, but she could not afford it. His response was, “So, what are you going to do about it?” Now keep in mind that for the last four days he had been drumming into their heads the idea that “Intention=Results.” He asked her, “What do you want?” She said, “I want to sign up for the advanced seminar tonight.” Then he said, “Think about what your action step needs to be.” Then he walked away, leaving her to fret, and she did. No one in the room had any idea that this personal drama was unfolding, but there was a huge gift coming to all of us. About 30 minutes later, she had figured it out. Jeff, the facilitator was on the mic and addressing the group. All he said was that someone wanted to speak to us. He handed the mic to her and she told us her story. She asked us to help. When the celebration was over she had over $1400. She reserved her seat for the coming seminar, she gave the rest to their scholarship fund, and everybody in the room learned some very important lessons. She left that evening in tears.
What I learned was that if people understand, they will help. I also had the opportunity to experience what Abraham Maslow described as synergy. There is no good reason for people to not support each other. The competitive and non-supportive nature of our culture is not who we are as souls. We are all in this together. That is our strength and our salvation.

i dated a guy for 6 months and found out he cheated with another girl, but i thought i was inlove with him 😐 and everytime he gets another girl i get really jealous. i want to get over him but i cant. he says he still loves me.
another guy has come along for me, and i like him, but i cant stop the feeling for the other one even though its been about 4 months.
So, here’s a question for all you psychic types. I’ve been going through a LOT of unwanted transition lately. And I am constantly looking for signs that I’m on the right path, that things will be okay. I’ve often thought how comforting it would be to have spirit guides that I could see or hear or something. How do I get in touch with them? How can I hear them? How do I know they’re really there? What am I doing wrong, or not doing to reach them? Can you feel the frustration/desperation here? Any word would be put to good use. Thanks!
I’ll see what I can do about those numbers. Think they might be Italian? (The Spirits, I mean…you know, numbers…LOL!!!)
OF COURSE I remember that movie! I’ve gotta tell you, I’m an old movie buff. It started when I was a kid. I LOVED all the old Abbott & Costello movies (I have several). On Sundays, there would always be a “Million Dollar Movie” on TV, and I would always watch. I love to watch TCM or AMC. Those old classics are the best.
One day at work, long, long ago in a faraway place, I had nothing to do. So I decided to make a list of every single cartoon and TV show that I had ever watched. OMG! That list was WAY too long!! LOL!! I should do that with all the movies I’ve seen.
Do you get the impression that I have nothing better to do with my time? Gosh, I hope it doesn’t come across like that! I’ve GOT better things to do, I just choose not to do them! Haha!
Love & Light,
Fran
Hi Gina,
Well, he’s the Mayor of his town AND a Capricorn. This man commands respect and he gets it!
I worry that these spirits will make it worse if I antagonize them, so I just say “Let it be.” If my guides don’t care, I don’t care. Great theory, I know……..
Do you think you could ” squeeze ” them for a few numbers for me too ?????
LOL…..Gina Rose ext.9500
Hey on my day off….I caught a very old movie on TCM called….The Long, Long Trailor…..with Lucille ball & Desi Arnez……remember THAT one ???
Okay, okay…they’ve got my attention. But could they at least use the pens to jot down some lottery numbers??? That would be the POLITE thing to do, don’tcha think?? LOL! LOL! LOL!
(Phillip still has me rollin’ on the floor with that patience quote. My mother nearly fell out of her chair when I told it to her!! Hahahahaha!!!!!)
I laughed so much, I cried! I think I’ll make that my mantra!!! ROFL!!!!
Hey Phillip, I think we should collaborate on a book! Can you just imagine?!?! LOL!!
Hi sweety, I am not a great Al Frankin fan but I heard him at a rally once on the radio and he had the audience chanting, “What do we want, PATIENCE! When do we want it? NOW!” I actually thought that was very funny.
LOL….they are hiding them to get YOUR attention……spirits usually only take something that WILL be missed….in your case..it’s blue pens…. ( could be worse ) LOL……
You crack me up Fran….you need your own story blog for funny stories.

Hi Fran, Years ago I ran the food services in an upscale retirement home. Every morning we would set out a breakfast buffet. We had a rotary toaster. The residents would just put bread or english muffins in and they would move into the toaster and come out done. One day a little old guy with a white handlebar moustache, he looked like Colonel Sanders, grabbed me and he said, “You know, every morning I put two halves of an english muffin in this toaster, but only one half comes out.” He said, “Do you have any idea where the other half goes?” I thought for a moment and I replied,”All I can figure is that there is a small black hole in there and the other half gets sucked into another dimension.” He smiled. I don’t think he bought it.
Too funny! I prefer blue pens too. You may need to keep your pens under lock and key. I WISH only pens vanished. I would buy 100 and let them have a party!
Lorna
I’m going to agree with you, I think it’s a spirit because there is always a thoughtfulness about what is taken. Like they have pondered what item to remove. The longer it’s gone, the more dramatic the return.
I have a friend a few towns over that is bothered by this and he gets angry. He not only demands the item back, he gives them a deadline! I had to laugh and I asked him…”what will you do if they don’t comply with your time line?” He told me he never had to find out because it would come back in the designated time.
It took me too long to learn patience to mess it up now. I just wait.
See Ya!
Hi there !! Phillip,
I agree with the fear factor thing at every level…..I can’t wait !!!!! to read your articles….guess I’ll have to re-read the article on patience as I wait ( patiently) to read more of YOUR articles…..

Hi sweety,
I write something every two or three days. I have done an article on eclipses and Part 1 of chakras. I am also on the verge of writing an article on 3 similar charts that I have looked over the past 3 months that are nearly identical, and reveal to me an extremely interesting spiritual “truth”. It has to do with extreme spiritual development in other lifetimes, and a fear in the soul of having to return to life with the risk of falling back into the karma of living. I am quite interested in this possibility because of the implications that fear plays in our development, at every level. I am blessed to be communicating with you Gina Rose. I know I am doing something right whenever I am exposed to people such as yourself. I am so grateful.
Thank you Gina Rose and Phillip for your kind words. There is great comfort in the knowing of the Karmic journey. Especially when someone you love has chosen such a hard path and great sorrow in this life.
Gina Rose I love your hometown stories too! There is such a fantastical energy about it all 🙂
Hi Phillip,
You have a such a gift for writing…any more ” stellar ” articles in the works ??????

Yes…you could say the weather is here, for the last 8 years has been TOO much like the Wizard of Oz ,…..
… kind of like the movie Twister too…..” We got cows ” !!!! Yes…my pets get very frantic when the twisters are close as the air pressure starts to drop. I don’t know about brave….I think adrenaline has more to do with…..these little legs of mine can move pretty fast when a twister strikes.
As far as your vanishing objects….I feel that there is a spirit, or a guide, around you playing tricks on you by moving things…..I’ve seen that before, in some of the haunted places I’ve visited inhabited by the living.
My friend in Hattiesburg, Mississippi lives in a civil war mansion…..things move and vanish and re-appear all the time at her lace.

Hi Gina Rose & Lorna,
I found it interesting Lorna, that items disappear from your home.
For years, I have been “losing” blue pens. Note that I said “blue.” I don’t like using black ink…never have. But when I go to look for a pen, the blue ones are always gone. Oh, sure, the black ones are always there, but I can never find a blue pen. The strange thing is that they’re never found. They’re not on the floor, or in a drawer, or in another room. They are no where in the house. They just vanish.
We’ve always joked around that “someone” likes to bust my chops and steal the pens from me, or they just happen to like blue pens as much as I do. I’ve learned to live with it, and I’ve learned to buy LOTS of pens to keep handy!
~Fran
OK Gina, let’s clarify. The only time people can teleport is on Star Trek. Non-Trekkies Astral Travel and I love to do that. But when items vanish and come back, I refer to it as teleportation. Maybe there is a new word for it now. I know other people who have had their belongings disappear. Not sure where these things go but they do come back. For me it is usually something that I need or use a lot. Just last December a Christmas gift for my grand daughter vanished and came back in March. HO HO HO!
Your neighborhood sounds very Wizard of Oz. I picture this constant whirlwind of furniture and cows swirling through the air. Your nerves must be frazzled! It must be a wonder to behold though when nature throws a tantrum. You seem to take it in stride though, which is good since you can’t change it. Do your pets get frantic at these times or are they brave like you?
There’s no place like home, Dorothy……..
Dear feelin sparkly,
I had the opportunity to visit California Psychics HQ last month, and one of the other psychics asked for this blog and there was agreement around the table. I don’t know if the staff were planning this prior, but it sure showed up fast. I am also grateful for the opportunity to mingle with both collegues and you. There is always strength in numbers. Thank you for YOUR insights. I am sorry for your loss.
Dear feelin_sparkly…..
I’m very sorry for your loss….
…but your friend is in a much better place now and whole lot happier now.
He will be given the chance to ” get it right ” in his next incarnation…..
We always get another chance to correct our Karma mistakes, if not in this lifetime…then in the next.

Hi Lorna,
I have all types of candles….I DO love the soy candles…..but in tornado alley here….the flameless come in handy big time….and the automatic timers on them are great.
They are REAL scented, wax candles with the bottoms hollowed out to insert REGULAR batteries…( that last for months).
They came in handy a few weeks back when I was trying to crawl out from under my dining room table, in the dark as the power was out, after a twister blew thru here.
Teleportation issues ???….no, not me, just electrical issues….
Hey, too bad you couldn’t use that teleportation thing to get around rising gas prices and travel fares huh ?????
I’ve always said that IF I could FIX the electrical gadgets ,instead of burning them out, I’d open a handy repair shop !!!!!!
Blessed Be )O(…Gina Rose ext.9500
Phillip, Your insights always warm my heart and I love this article.
It brings me an even deeper peace today. You see, I just found out that a dear childhood friend, who’s family has been family to me for 25 years, died today. He was 42 years old. The saddest thing about it is that he never took the chance to, as you said so well,: “It is me telling me, who I am. It is the difference between living in reaction and living deliberately.” My friends life was all reaction and crap shoots and I believe he had it set in his mind at an early age that he would die young. So he did.
Thank you all for giving so much heart and insight through the discussions and beautiful exchanges in this blog. It’s a blessing and a gift.
Hello Gina,
About ten tears ago I started making my own soy candles. I search antique stores and flea markets for unique containers. I used to have stores I sold to, now I just make them for fundraisers for the animals. Making candles is very calming and OH WOW it makes the house smell good!
I’ll still check out the flameless candles because you have me curious.
Yes! Cats and fire don’t mix. One of my cats got nosey one day and set her whiskers on fire! She wasn’t hurt but she had these crunchy stubs on her face.
Are you also bothered by teleportation. I got the appliance thing under control but I still have things vanishing under my nose and coming back two weeks to eight months later. When the items come back they are in a very noticeable place almost like they are on display. It’s creepy! And that gets expensive too because things need to be replaced and who knows how long they will be gone?
You know….I do like this blog. These are hardly things I can discuss with the mailman!
Amish buggies and a three block downtown district. You’ve got me beat. You win the Tiny Town Award!
Later!
Lorna
Hi Lorna,
A traffic jam here is getting behind an Amish horse and buggy going down main street….main street is all of three short blocks ! LOL.
Yeah…that electrical issue was getting so expensive that I shelled out the money and took 12 weeks of hypnotherapy classes, one on one instructional classes ,with a well known hypnotherapist, to control my breathing, relaxing, meditational skills. Yes…it would happen when I became stressed in ANY way…..sad OR happy.Any mood fluctuations would cause it.
Hey since you are in a storm prone area…check out the flameless candles by Candle Impressions on QVC shopping network TV.
I bought some and they come in VERY handy during storms, I’ve bought some at Xmas and have only changed the batteries once since then….These are real wax candles that have an batteries embedded in the bottom of the candle…complete with timers, you can set them to come on everyday by themselves.
They look real and even come scented….
AND BEST OF ALL, if your animals knock them over it won’t cause a fire…they won a home safety award.

oh yes, abigail, definitely my dad is papa bear. My point and message was– even if you think someone may first say “no,” do not let it stop you from asking. The universe and God do work in mysterious ways. Huggies,

Yes Gina, 10 minutes from the Mississippi. We’ve got some heavy t-storms coming in but no flooding yet. We have no problem losing our power and phones when things gets nasty.
Sometimes I miss the energy and culture of Chicago. Up here if one car is in front of you, we call it heavy traffic. We make our “Mayberry” jokes but there are parts of this area that are breathtaking.
My goodness! I lived in Oak Park in 1970. One more thing we have in common is the electrical issue and light bulbs. I saw an old post of yours where you mentioned going through appliances. Same here! Gets expensive. It would only happen when I was stressed, what about you???
Sleepy Be
Hi Lorna,
I was born in Oak Park and spent my early years there…..but later my GrandParents and GreatAunt moved to
Melrose Park…where I spent my teen years.
My grown & married daughter and grandbaby live up around Kenosha, WI area….
My sun sign is Virgo,my Moon and Mars are both in Pisces….and I’m Cancer rising.
Phillip did my chart when i called him for my anual reading….LOL….he could probably explain my chart alot better than I could.
You are near the Mississippi ???? Is it flooding by you ????? My state is flooding really bad….good thing this tiny town is up on a mountain top….I might ” blow away ” from twisters, but at least I won’t wash away .
Living in rural Arkansas is a BIG change from Chicago….but a peaceful and welcome change….as I spent my summers down here as a child…I kind of knew what to expect when I came here in 2001 right after 9/11.
Blessed Be )O(….Gina Rose ext.9500
Hi Gina!
What area of Chicago are you from? I grew up in a Polish neighborhood on the northwest side. Can NOT speak the language. Very difficult.
I have my Mars and Venus in Virgo, so I usually relate to that sign. I like their earthiness and ethics. They usually have a bone dry sense of humor as well and an ability to stay calm during chaos. Well, at least on the surface…. :~D
We would be great friends! Alas, we are mere “pen-pals”……..
Hi Jacqueline,
You have great flow of energy….good sound and pitch to your energy, and I find your honesty refreshing as well….I’d bet you give a great reading yourself.

Yeah, I agree, you have to first know what you want, in order to visualize it and bring it to manifestation…..LOL.
Hi Lorna…..I agree about the stale muffins….IF one is going to donate or volunteer , put
some ” heart ” and a bit of thought into it.
I from Chicago down here to a city of pop.800 in Arkansas…..I’ve done the bartering for services thing myself and frankly, sometimes it works BETTER than $$$$$.
You & I would be great friends !!!

Ok now I am rolling on the floor laughing you just reminded me of a man I use to call Papa Bear. He was a big cantankerous man who told everyone NO no matter what you asked. Everyone would get upset call him mean ect. ect. I started calling him Papa Bear I’d ask he’d say no I’d keep talking and continue to tell him what I’d need at the park and it would be there when I needed it. Then everyone started asking me to ask him LOL I said he’s a big teddy bear figure it out..hehehehe

Gina, I’m basically a sassy communicator unless it’s something I’m emotional about, like…..CATS!
Adopted out three this week. Excellent week!
OK, case in point. I knew a woman who owned a coffee shop and she would always donate unsold, stale muffins to a homeless shelter nearby. These things were like hockey pucks!!! She was very proud of herself and it made me angry. If she really cared, she would have sent fresh muffins.
Psychic Jacqueline x9472 said….
Gina Rose you are such a doll, I just love you, I recommend everyone has a reading with you, you are the best….
I think when becoming clear on what it is that we want in our life, it cause’s us to evaluate our self, take a good look within and sometimes that always isn’t a pleasant experience, but it’s through those evaluations that brings great new growth.
Blessings, Hearts and Hugs….
Psychic Jacqueline X9472
Kudos again, Phillip! Ask and we “can” receive…
Even sometimes if there is a waiting period…
I have asked for things and got, “no”, and then, later, it changed to a “yes.” We just have to begin patience sometimes to let our request have time in the universe to absorb…..Having a father with a capricorn moon, and mercury in Taurus, I got “no” always first…..I had to negotiate with him, and a lot of times, he would change his mind….So I learned a lot from working with him….I found out later, that this is the case, not with just my earthy father, but a lot of other things and persons….No can later turn into YES! BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK!!
Bravo!
Miss Krystal
Hi Lorna,
Very well put…..and funny too , I might add.
Self-interest and the KARMIC quality of the wish or desire ARE definitelt factors as you pointed out.
Blessed Be )O(…Gina Rose ext.9500
Hi Gina,
I can relate to your story.
We live in a town of 1700 and up here you probably don’t have to ask. Everyone knows! There is always a Spaghetti Night or Rummage Sale going on for someone. We are well versed on the concept of when you give, it comes back to you threefold.
We also do a lot of bartering. Fresh eggs for haircuts, car repairs for a painted fence, etc. If you don’t know who can help you, all you have to do is pick up the phone.
After being up here for 9 years, I could never go back to a “Drive-Thru” world. With the Mississippi 10 minutes away I feel like what I’m looking for IS in my own backyard.
So to kick it up a notch, don’t wait to be asked. Self absorbed people are usually unhappy. Everyone has something to contribute.
Hi Phillip ~
Another wonderful article from you. Sometimes people, even those close to you, have a hard time asking for help. I have a really close friend who is in a financial pickle. She’s going through so much stress between her finances and two of her grown kids (she’s got 6!). I wanted to help, but I knew that she wouldn’t take any money from me. So I got her a gift card for the grocery store instead. At first she didn’t want it. I had to tell her that I didn’t shop at that store (even though I sometimes do) so it would be a waste if she didn’t take it. She did. And although it wasn’t much, she was truly happy that I helped her out in that way.
Hugs, Fran
Phillip,
Another great article-thanks.
When I closed my mother’s house after she passed, I brought home a small wooden plaque she had kept on her dresser. It says, “Ye have not because you ask not”.
When we cooperate with each other and support each other I find there is a tremendous growth of love and spirit in those actions for each of us.
Hi Jacqueline,
You said something very important when you said that you’ve realized that you’re not real clear on what you want in your life.That is half the battle won right there….knowing what you want.
Many people really don’t know what they want.
Or, sometimes, they want what is not good for them.
Sometimes, they are trying to walk the wrong Karmic path.Walking the wrong Karmic path is akin to wandering around, in the dark, in circles in the woods , only to find you are still lost . LOL
Sometimes I will ask a client, If you could have anything in the world, what would it be ??? Many of them respond with ” I don’t know “. When I hear that, I take a look at their Karmic gifts and Karmic path….and start pointing their unique talents and gifts out to them…..what will “feed the soul ” so to speak.
I’ve found that when a person is walking their Karmic path, their needs, spiritually,emotionally , mentally,even sometimes, physically are being met.
Jacqueline, you made an excellent point about knowing WHAT you want.Thank you.
Blessed Be )O(…Gina Rose ext.9500
Psychic Jacqueline 9472, What they used to teach us was “confusion is not an option”. Personally, I have always believed that the crescent Moon and the star on the Moslem flags represents the conjunction of the Moon and Venus. The Moon is emotion and Venus is love. When you put them in that configuration you get devotion. Devotion=heart and emotion. What comes from one’s soul dream or longing energized by emotion becomes manifest. But we have to be clear in our heart what that is. It is MY responsibility to know what I want. It is me telling me, who I am. It is the difference between living in reaction and living deliberately. Just my thoughts. It is about honoring myself.
Hi Phillip,
What a great story~! I especially loved the summation in your final paragraph. “There is no good reason for people to not support each other.” I have found this to be true in my own life, as well as on this wonderful psychic line. When some callers start off in a very negative tone, I supply some love to which they immediately respond.
Love your sentiments~!

Hello Pillip, love you article, great topic, I was reading a great book the other day that talked about visualizing what you want in you life, they talk about literally seeing role by role how the event (the desire) would take place, the excitement, the laughter how everyone around would be effected, visualize a very detailed event, covering physical, emotional, and spiritual live this out in your mind role by role in great detail.
I have given this much thought and realize I’m not real clear on what it is that I desire in my life, so I have been giving this great thought… Funny thing I think so often we forget to just ask, we just kinda expect that is will come, thanks for the reminder to simply ask, Beautifully said!

Josepha ext 5170 in answer to Psychic Phillip
Well put Psychic Phillip. What an inspiring article, for more then one reason. The first being that we should help one another. It is not in our “spirit” nature to compete. The other inspiration it bring up for me is that we can bring about what we want if we put our intention and attention on it.
Thank you.
Hi Phillip,
As usual, another great article…..and I agree, I remember my GrandParents telling me years ago…..” Just ask,at worst, all they can do is say no, but you will never know until you ask.”
And, over the years, when I have, brushed aside my PRIDE, and asked for help….I generally receive it.
Once, back in the 70’s during THAT recession, some neighbors had fallen on hard times…the husband worked for manufacturing company International Harvester which was on strike…the longest strike in UAW history to that date…a whopping 9 month long strike…the wife had just had a babygirl,6 weeks old.
We used to have huge block parties in that neighborhood about once per month and we noticed they were not attending, we found out,AFTER ASKING, they had no money to chip in for party treats, etc, and couldn’t even pay their mortgage payment and buy groceries……
Well, long story short,….we all threw another block party, ( actually about 5 blocks total because we ” recruited ” more party goers, again, we ASKED OTHER NEIGHBORS FOR THEIR HELP on different blocks down the street)… to raise money to see this couple and their 5 kids thru the strike…we all raised enough money to pay their mortgage for 4 months….plus stock them up on groceries.
They made it thru the UAW strike..and kept their home…..and WE kept some really nice neighbors and friends….and ,even made new friends and neighbors…
All because we asked.
Blessed Be )O(…Gina Rose ext.9500
Thank You, Phillip…..great article…yet…again .
I agree with your article and actually have to credit Mick Jagger when he told us in a song long ago….”you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need!” Good point!
Now I could be kicking back at home and say “I sure could use a Cappucino Moolatte!” I can be pretty sure one will not materialize.
On the other hand if I say “I wish my neighbor would quit giving me dirty looks!” Within a few days an opportunity will arise in which I can help her. Hence, the end of dirty looks. Self interest and the quality of the wish are factors. Needs and wants, know the difference.
Ahhh, you’ve had it peaceful for way too long. Remember all the deep things I would say to you to bring out your inner Ram? Like….”life is a Twinkie”. Among other Scorpio specials. You would literally be bent at the waist like you were going to butt me with your head. Ram on!
OK, I’ll close on my Libra rising and be nice.
Love Ya,
Lorna
