FAQ
I receive many more questions than I can personally answer. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions and their answers.
Please look through these to see if any would answer your question. You can also contact me with a question or comment by going to the contact page.
How do you write the messages?
These messages are written by direct writing, also known as automatic writing. I get comfortable in a chair in front of the computer, pray, and ask for a message to be written through me. Even though I like the feel of pen on paper I mostly write at the computer. Having a quiet space and a quiet mind is a requirement for me to listen and transcribe what I hear.
What did you do before you started writing?
I started out in teaching and healing. Back in the 1980’s I learned laying on hands healing as well as other related healing techniques from Reverend Jean. The hardest thing for me to learn was to stop the chatter of my mind- to get out of the way! I had a very active mind that wanted to question everything I felt, saw, and did when healing. It took me years to learn to quiet my mind to allow the energy, presence, and messages to flow through me. To learn to quiet the mind try prayer followed by a quiet time of listening, or try meditation or movement type meditations like Tai Chi or the Quaker walking meditation. Some techniques to quiet and clear the mind are in my short book Choose Love: Learning to be Light and Love available on the Books page of this web site.
Why are you not on Facebook or other social media?
You may remember when Rock and Roll music and dancing were believed the work of the devil to tempt young people. I strongly believe that social media is the current ‘devil’s work’ because of it’s addictive nature and intrusion into every waking moment. Some are on social media even when they need to be sleeping! When will they have time to listen for the still quiet voice? I followed some Facebook pages for a while, but found I was devoting more and more time to them and less and less to listening. For these reasons neither I nor Progression of the Soul have a Facebook page nor a presence on any social media.
