INTRODUCTION:
A Little Background Information on Sherry
I guess you could say that
intuitive abilities
run in my family. Just about everyone, on both my mothers and fathers side of
the family, have a fairly strong
"sixth sense" of some sort.
Most of my relatives have had consistent, paranormal experiences, and a kind of
intuition that often defies logic.
A few family members have seen and spoken to
"Beings," some are healers, some are preachers, some do readings or
have what seem to be past life memories. A few, like my
father, are lucid dreamers - adept in using their dreams to find answers to puzzling
questions -- or for other, more esoteric and spiritual purposes.
I was lucky to grow up in this family. They accepted me and I was never given an
undue amount of attention for any 'psychic abilities.' My parents
thought that the things I experienced were just a normal (for me) part of
life and didn't analyze me to death.
As a young child, I
didn’t know that there was anything different about me. However,
as I got
older, I realized that most of the people around me, especially my peers, really didn’t have the same
experience of the world that I had. I started to feel isolated, and grew afraid. Eventually, I became almost disgusted with myself,
as couldn't seem to 'get a hold of myself' and stop seeing things that no one
else did. I was
sure I was delusional -- probably "crazy." (Whatever THAT meant!)
My family worried about me. They never saw anything "wrong" with
me and couldn’t understand my
near obsession to dissect
my inner workings. Because I couldn't accept myself, I spent a good part of my
older childhood -- and especially my
adolescence -- in fear of being found out. It was worse at night, when I was alone and couldn't stop
the intense dreams, or things from "visiting me." I should add
that not everything was scary or awful. A lot of it was very beautiful and
instructive. But still, I lumped every experience into the same pile
and called it 'bad.' From the time that I started to realize how different
my perception of the world was, my desire to be "like everyone else" steadily
grew.
I think that on the surface I was a fairly
normal teenager. I learned that it was hard for most people to 'read' me,
and so I was able to hide a lot of my fears. Inside, however, I was slowly
falling apart; eaten up with anxiety about what was happening to me.
I was a good student: a member of the National Honor Society, in my Junior year
of High School and was even a cheerleader. I was very active in
the Rainbow Girls and loved doing community service. But I was also
terrified every day and every night that I was losing my mind.
My dreams were filled with
the sights and sounds of other times and places -- and with a different kind of
school. I spent what seemed like many hours of my life in dream classrooms,
seeing and learning things that were hard to share with the people I knew in my
waking life. When I was 'awake' I saw people that others couldn't see. I
still find it interesting that people can't see what I do, but they will often react (unconsciously) to what I hear
the 'ghosts' saying to them or to how the energy moves them.
I was afraid of disappointing (and
scaring) my parents
and teachers by telling them what was going on, so I mostly didn't, unless it
got too be too disturbing.
My Dad, and a few perceptive adults tried to talk to me,
At that point, though, I'd realized how difficult is is to try and explain the
unexplainable. After awhile, I basically quit trying. I wasn't sure
enough of myself to know what I say. Our language has few words to express
what I experienced -- and I was just too afraid of what would happen to
me, if I got into much detail. It seemed certain that I was losing my mind
and I was afraid that I would end up in a mental hospital.
At the age of eighteen, after a semester and
a half of college, as a psych major, I went to see a psychiatrist.
(Naturally I majored in Psychology, I was going to fix myself... until I
realized that I needed an expert!) I was on the verge of a breakdown, and
the first day I saw the Doctor, I desperately told him, "I hear
voices, I see things that others don't seem to, and I float out of my body.
Give me something to 'fix me' so that this doesn't happen anymore."
I begged him to try anything - drugs, even shock treatments, if that would help. Anything, to stop these experiences.
I was so convinced that I must be psychotic
that when, after extensive testing, the Doctor told me
that I was not, it was hard for me to believe. I thought that I had somehow drawn
him into the psychosis with me. It took some time, and some experiments,
before I believed that what he was telling me might be possible. I didn't believe in "ESP" type things ;
I discounted them all as fantasy, delusions or wishful thinking. He had a
personal interest in psychic phenomena, and people that were misdiagnosed as schizophrenic,
when they were actually experiencing some kind of psychic phenomena. He was knowledgeable about some of the
things I told him and later demonstrated. I believe that his unusual
interests are the main reason that I didn't get put away in a mental hospital.
I have met many people "like me" over the years, that were not as
lucky.
Over a period of several years, I started to trust him a
little, and he began to help me try to accept myself. He showed me that I had quite
a talent for "intuitive knowing." I ended up working for him for several years as a biofeedback technician and
also as an "in-office psychic". This caused some raised eyebrows with
his colleagues, but he didn't care. He was interested in results, not what
people thought of him.
I won't say that this was a totally positive
experience. It was not. In some ways, it may have hurt my more than
helped me, but, things eventually worked out.
It took another Doctor, who was not fascinated
with psychic phenomena, to really help me to accept that these things are
"normal" for me and nothing to be afraid of. He taught me
to look past the blanket statement that I made about my life: "different is
bad."
During the last thirty years, I have spent
countless hours working on gaining clarity. Self-discipline could not stop the
experiences from happening, as I had originally hoped, but it has helped me in
so many other ways, including in the business world. I have kept a journal
for many, many years, and through this journal, I came to see that the
information that I receive is solid, practical and positive. I
learned self-mastery, rather than the mastery of others. It hasn’t been easy, but then, nothing
worthwhile in life is.
Back then I didn't know anyone else who talked to
Beings, saw auras, dreamed lucidly, etc. The few people I met who did
either had as hard a time talking about it as I did, or were pretty famous
psychics.
I did not want to be a famous psychic, :-D
but I did
want to be able to talk about my life with people who mattered to me. It
took me many, many years to be able to do this, but it was, as my Dad
says, "worth every turn of the wheel to get here!"
Yes, there are still a few people who think I am
evil, crazy, delusional, etc. Oddly enough, they are all people who don't
know me, personally. It's so easy to point the finger at
someone you don't know. Gossip is a hobby for some people.
I happen to think that gossiping is an act of evil, whether you listen to
it, or spread it. I grew up seeing the cruelties that ignorant
people could inflict on people who are "different."
I was pretty
lucky, however, and had not encountered many problems with intolerance, until I came to a small town to do a job, and was almost immediately bombarded with fear,
ignorance
and boldface lies from local church members. It was a pretty closed
community, and yet, there was obviously a need to be more open about psychic
type and spiritual experiences. That was proved when I had over a hundred eager people attend one
workshop. The contrast was extreme and I was unsure how to handle
it. I made an effort to counter
the rumors with reason, sitting down with the people that I was told were behind
most of it and trying to talk it out. It was useless -- possibly
harmful. I was bringing things out into the open that people were used to
having stay hidden and it didn't go over well.
Yes, this hurt and
frightened me, at times. But, I have to admit that I learned so much and
grew so much spiritually, that I was finally able to give thanks for
the experiences.
Let me paraphrase a conversation that I had about this,
with my friend Joe, (my name for my Guardian angel):
Joe: "It's not so bad here. Nothing has really happened."
Sherry: "What do you mean it's not so bad and nothing has
happened? Am I delusional? This is Hell! I have a local
church after me, with members threatening me on the street, talking to employees
and trying to get them to quit, spitting on me, following me, tearing down
my workshops posters, praying together to get me out of town... and that
is just what I have heard about!"
Joe: "Is that all?"
Sherry: "What do you mean is that all? Isn't that
enough? What else has to happen before it's bad? "
Joe: "But, Sherry, nothing really happened -- nothing
important. There has been a lot of mean talk, a lot of fear, some
non-hygienic behavior and some energy thrown around, but you are OK.
You're still here, in one piece, and you have faced one of the biggest fears of
your life. I'd say that's not so bad."
Sherry: Well, OK, that's all true. But it still wasn't
fun..."
Joe: "I never said that it was fun..."
Well, that's Joe for you. He was right, as
usual. A source of great comfort and balance.
But often quite hard to appreciate
as a young adult. Think about it. The only "person" I
would really talk to about this stuff was "not really there!"
I
got great advice, a great outlook on life, but how could I believe
anything I got from my "imaginary playmate" ? lol
Yes, it's pretty funny, now, but it wasn't then, I assure you. He has helped me to
see that being psychic is not the same as living a spiritual life. It has
its place, but it is not what my life it about.
I am not out to argue or change anyone's mind
about God or reality. Everyone has their own idea of what or who God
is. It is my belief that we don't have to take everything spiritual or
religious "on faith." If you ask for assistance, with
sincerity, and then, pay close attention for the next few hours, days,
weeks, etc., you will receive an answer. It probably won't be what
you expected or maybe even wanted, but you will get an answer. I speak in these
pages only about things in my personal experience, as that is all that I really
can speak about. I urge you to try some of the spiritual exercises for
yourself, here or on other web sites, books, or where ever you might find
them. Find our for yourself, through your own experiences, that there is
more to your existence than what you can touch with your hands or measure, or
count. You can't see, touch or count love, but it exists. It
doesn't matter one bit what I can do, it only matters what you can do.
How I came to do workshops and write about my
experiences is another story. <G>
Today, I know lots of people
who are able to communicate with their Guardian Angels, Guides and Masters and
others who see auras and ghosts: I know them mostly thanks to the workshops I
facilitate.
It's great!
I guess we are all crazy in the
same way!
I do my best
to follow a path of love, not of power. The path of power is a dead
end. The path of love has no end.
A lot of people tell me
that they think it is "cool" to be psychic and wish they were able to
see and hear the things that I do. I am not sure that they would like
getting that wish. But, then again, maybe they would have an easier time with it
than I did. What I do know is that being clairvoyant and/ or psychic is not a
guarantee of spiritual "enlightenment" or an indication of a loving nature.
One can easily be psychic and not
be kind or have compassion for others. I am not personally interested in
developing more psychic powers. I have more than enough to cope with
now! I AM interested in increasing my ability to give and r
eceive love
more fully. The purely psychic planes are not a very high vibration. The psychic realms end
-- and the God planes continue. On the God planes, psychic powers are
irrelevant, because only love exists.
Part of my life
lesson has been learning more about balance and self-responsibility. This
doesn't sound very exciting, does it? At first glance, this process
may seem slower one than you'd hoped it to be.
However, because
this process is steady, and it doesn't shock a person, one
can achieve greater spiritual growth, over a shorter period of time, than might
otherwise be done. It does includes
exciting times of discovery and explosive growth.
I have learned about balance by going out of balance over and over again!
Eventually, I learned that I didn't like it "way over there" and my
behaviors modified. I have had more "excitement" and intensity
in my life, than any dozen people I know! My life is never boring or uneventful.
I wouldn't mind a few years of uneventful!
This path includes the understanding that life
goes in cycles and that change is constant; for only with change do you experience growth.
Learning to let go of expectations and make the most of the things that life
brings your way is something that most people would agree sounds like a useful
skill.
This is also a path of
self-responsibility, which has never
been a popular concept... <G> Taking the steps which
lead to self-responsibility leads to spiritual freedom. We get the exact
amount of spiritual freedom that we allow the people in our lives. The least
amount... Who is it in your life that you feel the need to control?
Even if you do real well in the control area with most people, you only get the
amount of freedom that you give to that person. That doesn't mean that you
let someone else control you either. This path is about balance and
self-responsibility-- and supporting those in others. It's not about being
a victim -- or a victimizer. It is about having compassionate, yet
detached, love for other beings. All people have their unresolved issues
that they are compelled to act out in some way. If there are people who
feel compelled to act theirs out in your life, and if you don't want them to
-- If it is destructive to your life -- grant them the freedom to
act it our somewhere else!
Angels are big news lately. They’ve even
been on the cover of Time magazine and are starring in TV programs and specials.
It is fascinating to me that so much of the same information has been shared by
Angels and Masters with people all over the world, at about the same time, with
great success. In ages past, much of this information was reserved for
people who spent their lives preparing to make use of it. Times have changed.
Most of us no longer live in a society where we have the option of spending most
of the hours of each day in meditation, contemplation or inactivity. We have to
adapt to the changes in this world.
Some techniques given to the public by
the
Masters and Angels, in recent times, take these social changes into
consideration. This kind of work is such that any person can find the time to do
the spiritual exercises contained in this workshop, if they want to. The
information is available to every person who is interested. No person will be
turned away. It need only be asked for.
People often ask me if the information can be
misused by unethical persons.
I have been told that this is not my
concern. There are always people who will try to misuse anything.
Ultimately, the knowledge cannot be misused. The Spiritual Law of Cause and
Effect, sometimes called Karma, deals very effectively with this problem.
I hope you find something useful on this web
site. If you just give these ideas -- and the angels -- a chance, I believe that
your life will change for the
better! Enjoy!
