Before I write my public review of your book of poetry let me speak just to you. I will read and reread this collection for the rest of my life.And should I fall in love again I will share it with her often. You have walked into dimly lit passages of my heart and soul and opened the windows. I have wept and sung with joy for I thought that I was alone in so many of these thoughts. You are fearless, your courage to share is inspirational. I am not putting you on a pedestal but enjoying sitting in the front row of your performance. Perhaps I will share this accolade.

PREFACE
It will further help your understanding by reading the ‘Forward’, to give you some knowledge and understanding of the world of Mediums. Although I am a Spiritualist/Medium/Psychic, my goal is not to impose my views and beliefs on you but to tell a story and to tell the stories behind the poetry, my inspiration and the meaning behind them. Whether you believe whether some incidents are possible or not just be open minded for these incidents frequent the lives of Mediums. This is a love story and includes some of the situations around the characters concerned. It is written as if the character Maryann herself is telling the story. Some of the characters names may seem unusual but those are the nicknames given in relation to their social network pages. Those of you who have experienced a long distance or online relationship will understand the challenges faced. This story I like to think of it as a kind of hybrid. Please read with an open mind and try to understand there is much more in heaven than on earth. The Universe is awe-inspiring and never doubt its power. Any names, dates, places or similarities in any way are purely co-incidental MPB
SOUL LOVE
Endless as the heavens for eternally forever
As deep as the darkest ocean, can never sever
Spiritual love
Looking up at the skies I see that star
It gives bright hope although so far
Hope for one day to meet once more
I will meet again, those eyes as before
And taste your passions fruit
Never wanes or dies Soul love spans all time
For eternally entwined
One is part of the other as the other is part of the whole
Never knew you existed for my heart you stole
For some who do not understand
For feelings to be shared
Love has to be given freely all truth must be aired
Sometimes the truth hurts and pains and bleeds the heart
For sometimes too love hurts so bad, time must be spent apart
But a silver cord is threaded to, your soul from me to you
Sending healing comforts and unconditional love too
Even when impossibilities stretch ahead and cloud and pain the heart
I will always be in spirit behind guiding and encouraging although so apart
For you I have boundless feelings, there's no beginning and no ending
Like the stars in heavens sky
There's never any need to ask why
There's just a knowing of what is meant to be
If I could have a wish for mankind it would be to see
For when spirit touches your heart your soul is set to fly free

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Star gate Project was the umbrella code name of one of several sub-projects established by the U.S. Federal Government to investigate the reality, and potential military and domestic applications, of psychic phenomena, particularly "remote viewing:" the purported ability to psychically "see" events, sites, or information from a great distance.] These projects were active from the 1970s through 1995, and followed up early psychic research done at The Stanford Research Institute (SRI), The American Society for Psychical Research, and other renowned involved psychical research labs.
For those who largely remain unseen, our guides and our mentors and for the love of Spirit who without, this book would not have come about. & To my beloved Grandmother Jane Paterson my first mentor. MPB
TWIN FLAME
A thousand longings
For the day of recognition
For the dawning you recall
A thousand years and many lifetimes
Are worth waiting for that day
Of reuniting and kindling
That twin flame

“Love is the ultimate answer. Love is not an abstraction but an actual energy, or spectrum of energies, which you can "create" and maintain in your being. Just be loving. You are beginning to touch God within yourself. Feel loving. Express your love.
Love dissolves fear. You cannot be afraid when you are feeling love. Since everything is energy, and love encompasses all energies, all is love.” Brian L Weiss MD “MESSAGES FROM THE MASTERS”
“I know by his scent Before he reaches my hair That the breeze has risen And dances upon the meadow. If one could take love as one takes a lover and rest his head between the breasts and know peace!"
~ Excerpt from
Thousand and One Nights
“Know, therefore, that from the greater silence I shall return.... Forget not that I shall come back to you.... A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.”

FOREWARD
In order to explain much of this book, it helps to have some knowledge and understanding of Mediumship. Mediums are often loosely described as Psychics, but there is a difference.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PSYCHIC AND A MEDIUM?
Everybody is capable with working on a psychic level, it is our sixth sense. When man was evolving it was this special sense that kept us safe, it was an inner knowing, a gut feeling that helped protect us and survive danger. Animals still use this sense; you might like thinking of it as being akin to instinct.
The psychic level is our link with 'the ethos', the Universe, where all knowledge can be sought.
It is perfectly possible to develop this ability, through finding a development class or from various techniques and exercises that can be found in suitable reading literature. Some people are naturally good psychics and it is perfectly possible to develop naturally. However, this can be frightening for some, in which case a development class is the best option where the student will be under the tutelage of an experienced medium.
So just what is psychic energy, it is an energy lower than that of spiritual energy but it gives us insight and ability to gain knowledge from the past, present and future. We can do this by linking in to the universe, where the answers we are seeking to anything can be found. We do this by using our subconscious mind, the same part of the brain that is active when we are dreaming or under hypnosis. Our subconscious mind absorbs every piece of information given to us, every thought, every event in our present life and those we had before. The trouble is gaining access to this information, it is a skill, and like all skills can be developed.
Ah! The future, you say, that sounds interesting, and who doesn’t want to know at some point in their lives, what will befall them, whether it is, 'Will I pass this exam?’ 'Will I get the job?' or 'When will I move house?' Therein lies the problem. It is truly impossible to truly predict the future accurately, we have all been issued with 'Free Will', nothing is written in stone, so it can only be a guide, as we all have the ability to make our own futures and life is what you make it.
So, What is Mediumship?
The word 'medium' means a vessel, literally. Mediums have the ability to link with spirit and communicate with them. When the physical body dies, the mind lives on, it is our mind that is our soul, our spirit. The term 'ghosts' are not spirit at all, a ghost is akin to a tape recording the vibrations of that person, and generally the recording is deposited and left behind after a particularly traumatic event in that person's life whilst they were here on earth. The event was so traumatic as to have caused immense distress to that person, all the emotions, feelings and mental anguish made a mark on where these strong emotions were experienced. Generally the so-called 'ghost' follows the same pattern, an anniversary of the sighting might be experienced on the same date year after year for example. It is impossible to communicate with a ghost, as it is a 'recording' and not a spirit.
Therefore, the spirit is the mind energy of someone who was once alive at sometime on earth, and the only difference now is they do not have a physical body. We as humans on earth just now are spirit in a human body that is the only difference.
Mediumship is not something that can be acquired through attending a course like psychic ability, it is a gift given to us by the 'Godhead' to be utilised for the highest good for mankind.
Everything on earth and in 'heaven' has a vibration, an energy; mediums have the ability to 'tune in' to this vibration and interpretate it; a bit like turning the tuning dial on a radio to locate a station. After all each radio, station has its own wavelength and by turning the tuning dial, we locate another channel. We know that sound waves exist, we cannot see them, but we know they are there for when we turn on the TV or radio, they are responsible for enabling us to watch and listen to our favourite program. This is exactly what a medium is, we have been gifted this 'tuning dial' that is all.
So when someone passes over, I prefer this term to death, it is only the physical human body that perishes, the person's mind still exists, with all the personality and foibles that made that person who they are, their character. Mediums therefore have the ability to tune into each souls vibration and pick up messages for their loved ones they left behind when their physical body perished.
Mediums are also psychic as spiritual vibrations resonate at a higher frequency than that of the psychic so have the ability to work on both levels. A medium cannot conjure up spirit, the link between spirit and those on earth is love and that bond can never be broken and lives on for all eternity. So all the medium can do is to ask for those loved ones to come forward if they have any messages of love to gift for those they have left behind on earth.
Most of the work a medium does is to provide survival evidence. 'Survival' evidence is knowledge that cannot be gained by the medium themselves about the person they are giving a sitting to, it is generally only something that the sitter would know, and often can only be confirmed by another relative, proof that their loved ones in spirit exist. Mediums are not there to foretell the future, the loved ones in spirit may well give a little information purely as proof of survival and as long as it did not hinder any progress in life for the sitter. In addition, remember if you did not take advice from ‘Granddad’ when he was alive you do not have to now he’s passed over, he still has exactly the same personality and character as he did when he was ‘here’.
So how do mediums communicate with spirit? We do this with our minds. To be totally honest I have had this ability for as long as I can remember, and truthfully I really don’t know, but I have over the years been able to recognise various sensations, that alert me that spirit are around, sensations like differences in temperature, tingling etc.
Mediums communicate in different ways, sometimes through ‘clairvoyance’, which means clear seeing, where the medium actually sees the spirit. Now this can be in one of two ways or even both, where the medium sees the spirit as if looking at someone in real life, in the physical. The spirit may even be transparent or in their minds eye, this is known as 'Mental Mediumship'. Personally, myself I see spirit in both these ways.
In 'clairaudience', this means hearing, now this can be actually hearing a voice that you is not your own, or it can sound like your own, but its not your thoughts, and don’t worry, I am quite sane lol!
In 'clairsentience', this is feeling, sensing, the spirit, in this the medium senses the emotions, mental state of the spirit, almost as if the spirit imposes their themselves over you.
Most mediums use one or two of these abilities, myself I combine all three, when I link with them, this enables me to experience all their emotions, see what they looked like and hear what they are saying.
Now as I have said everything in the universe has its own vibration, Earth having the lowest in spiritual terms. After Earth comes the Astral realm, it is on this realm that we travel when we dream, its not unusual to see friends etc, in dream state, after all they will be travelling this realm too at night lol. It is on this realm where lower Elementals reside, i.e. wood nymphs, nature spirits, elves and fairies amongst others, and as often as in the case spirit who are trapped unable to move on also reside in this vibration. This is the same vibration used in psychic work. There are several spiritual realms each having a different vibration, with the most Celestial where the realms of the Angels are.
When the medium links with spirit, he or she has the ability to raise his or her own vibration that bit higher. Loved ones in spirit who are around us at a given time, whether it is to help their loved ones on earth or sometimes it is an anniversary of their passing, will have lowered their vibration and the medium is then able to pick up these vibrations and interpretate them. Unfortunately for the medium, it is not so easy and difficult to maintain this link continuously. Hence some information may be lost, complete names for example and sentences to explain: 'the fat black cat sat on the red mat', what the medium might hear because of the fluctuating vibration would be: 'the back sat on mat', hence some information is lost.
For some reason spirit sometimes work with a type of shorthand i.e. symbols. These symbols have to be and worked out by the medium for example to me, seeing a ring might mean a marriage or partnership, it might mean something differently entirely to another medium. We each have our own; it is a way of communicating at a fast vibrational level. When messages from spirit come in to the medium's mind they arrive very fast and to help the medium 'catch' and interpretate these messages quickly the shorthand helps speed up the process.
One of the most accurate ways of obtaining information from spirit is by doing absent readings, here the sitter is not present and the medium can link in with the sitter either by thinking about them or by viewing a photograph, sometimes an example of handwriting is useful. In this method, the medium will ask any spirit links to come forward with any messages for the sitter. This is a particularly accurate method, for the medium cannot read the sitter's body language or by careful questioning gleam any information from the sitter as they are absent, many mediums work best in this area and each medium will eventually find a method suitable for them.
I myself personally like to work with Tarot. This works on the psychic level first, and in doing his gives an insight to the sitter's past, present and future. All that can be picked up from the sitter's auric field: and then I raise the vibration to link with spirit, to bring forward any messages from the spirit realms. With regard to the information from the tarot or any other Mantic tool (A mantic tool is any form of divination aid such as tarot, crystals, crystal ball, angel cards, tea leaves any sort of aid that helps aid the psychic to use as a tool to latch on to the unique vibration of the sitter. The hand of the sitter is a mantic tool in palm reading) nothing is written in stone, God and the Universe gave us 'Free will'
Before we incarnate as spirit in a human body, for that is what we are whilst on earth, we have some sort of basic plan in mind. We have a goal, a series of lessons we have chosen for ourselves to experience and learn, these lessons may be such as humility, compassion, kindness, sorrow, pain and suffering, for in experiencing these emotions and experiences, we develop empathy and understanding for our fellow humans on earth. Each time we go through these experiences, we become more spiritual and closer to God. However, we are never left on our own to go through life's traumas, we have our friends and guides in spirit who give us support to undergo these tasks. Sometimes it feels as if we are all alone and this is because of guides have to stand back to let us experience pain and suffering, for only by undertaking these challenges we learn and grown strong. They never allow us to suffer so much that we cannot bear it, we have chosen these experiences for ourselves, and so we are responsible for our own spiritual development. They are there to guide and support us in our 'School on earth'. Why is it we never remember what we planned before we came here? Well that is because if we knew what was before us would we want to; I think not!
Often we incarnate in the same soul groups, the soul is neither male nor female, and we choose which sex we will be to experience life and views from that perspective. Sometimes in that soul group, we may be the father of the son who was the father in the last incarnation to experience life from both sides to gain empathy and understanding. We tend to incarnate in groups so that we learn from one another, and the power of this in action is that we are often drawn to particular people in our lives here. We are often drawn to these souls, on meeting these people we instantly feel a bond, not necessarily of physical attraction, but we feel some sort of unseen force bond at work, for we had planned this meeting before we came here, and we recognise one another on a subconscious level. Remember though it is up to us whether we choose whether to go through the experience, but generally if we delay the process, we will often have to relive these experiences at a later date or another life, for we know instinctively what is best for us. We choose to do this because we have a common goal we wish to grow closer to God and the Universe.
Spiritual love is the purest love of all, it has no conditions, it does not judge, it has no limits and never ends. It conquers all that is evil and bad in this world and removes all pain. Our common goal is to grow in spirit, and our loved ones in spirit are always there supporting and sending us their love. Mediumship is a gift bestowed upon us to help mankind in order that we can feel the touch of spirit from beyond, to support and teach us and keep us on our chosen path, our path to God. MPB
REMOTE VIEWING
Remote viewing is the term given where someone uses extra-sensory perception to view a place or articles that cannot be seen, either because it is hidden or some distance away.
The term was conned by parapsychologists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff in 1974.
Certainly, research was carried out from the Second World War up until the 1970's both by the US, Russian and Chinese Governments at this time to a view of using it as a means of spying.
There is certainly much documentation on the subject, early research conducted by the Stanford Research Institute in 1972 led to funding of a $50,000 CIA sponsored product.
DIARY OF A LOVE AFFAIR 'AN INTRODUCTION'
DIARY OF A LOVE AFFAIR
Those tender sweet beginnings
I called you sweet
You said you no I'm not
And god I thought you were so hot
I couldn't wait for that next mail
With building excitement and trepidation
Through this sweet trance I'd sail
We had the silly stupid fights
We'd say the stupidest of things
And then we'd make up all the night
What a sweet rollercoaster
Up and down and all over
Full of passion and crazed raw emotions
Of wanting and needing
God what a commotion
And then one day
You had to say
Words I wasn't familiar with
Not for me I thought
Suspicion rained I ought
To have seen it coming
You said I'd changed
If I had it was not my doing
You seemed so cold I felt it so
You'd cooled so much I know
And then came the days that became so long
Long lonely nights pouring tears into my favorite song
It no longer is I cant bear to hear
It cuts me up and makes me shed a tear
Of passions hot that burning kind
Of passions where you feel you're loosing your mind
And then I knew there was no more excuses
You always promised you would say
If you felt you couldn't stay
It would have been better had it been that way
But no you had to take it all wrong
So now all I have is that song
No more can I listen it cuts me up inside
All because of your stupid damn pride
To admit we all make mistakes
You got it all wrong you made it a mess
All you had to do was answer a yes
And admit it was a stupid fight
And now I cant bear to have you in sight
Not because I am angry or mad
I am just feeling so low and sad
Of silly misconstrued conversations
You got it all wrong why cant you see
You got all the wrong impression from me
And all because of stupid pride
We're both cut up and hurting inside
Maybe one day you'll see what you've lost
The love of a woman who loved you the most
She loved you enough to let you go
She never could hate you for fucking up so

In a perfect world where everyone was at the same point in his or her development, there would be no problems, but we live in an imperfect world, where we are all at differing stages and there are good reasons for that. Even if we all began as equal souls, some would fall back and others develop quicker. For those who go on at a faster development need to be presented with more challenging tasks to stretch their abilities, hence spirit have thought of everything, they will present us with those souls, who are either younger or have not figured out yet as to why we are here, they will be our challenges. But you know spirit don’t want us to suffer or make us fail, we all have that ability to progress, we just have to listen to our higher self and this is our link with spirit and keep us strong. In our challenges regards relationships, we will be presented with those types of souls to learn from each other and part of our learning will be to cope with loss, be it love or trust. What is important here is forgiveness, if you are the one who has been hurt by someone, forgive him or her for really they have not yet seen the error of their ways and have much to learn. In time, they will be presented with many situations to help them do so. If it is your failing, look back and learn from it, forgive yourself and become the wiser for it. Holding on to grudges and past hurts does not help anyone and will only harm your own soul. Rest assured "Compensation and retribution for every soul", such is the way of the Universe and Spirit designed to HELP each and everyone one of us to challenge us and make us grow and not designed to harm as long as you have love in your heart and forgiveness in your soul, you will be loved and protected
CHAPTER ONE 'THE BACKGROUND'
Maryann was a senior lecturer who worked at a private college in the centre of a small provincial city. Her job as head of holistic therapies was to teach and develop new courses for the growing interest in complementary therapies. It was a stressful job one that she sort of fell into. A previously employed colleague had warned her what might happen working in this establishment but she had thought she could handle it. In spite of this, she loved the work and she enjoyed meeting the students and found it rewarding.
FEBRUARY 13TH 2006
Maryann was sitting at her computer; she loved tinkling at her little Mac and loved it for it was easy to write up notes. However getting a bit fed up, she switched Yahoo Messenger on to available to see if it would alleviate some of the humdrum.
HIM john_jack01
“Hey”
ME
“Hi, who are you?”
HIM
“John”
ME
“How can I help you?”
Looking back, I was very abrupt and blunt in my response for I had been through this chat up scenario so many times and felt so jaded and I couldn’t be bothered but none the less carried on the conversation.
ME
“And why have you contacted me?”
There was a long pause before John typed.
“Emmm just for a chat, I saw your profile on Yahoo and it said you were a teacher”
ME
“Well yes I suppose I am, a lecturer at a further education college”. “So tell me about yourself”
Poor John, here I was sort of busy, yet a bit bored, half wanting to escape the workload and half not wanting to be bothered with silly chat up lines.
HIM
“Well I am a Math Teacher in San Francisco US”
ME
“Well what age are you?” “What kinds of interests have you?” “What kind of music do you like?” “What kind of food do you like?” “Describe yourself to me, your height, build etc”.
Looking back it fills me with smiles, I must have interrogated him and at the time, I really was not bothered if he messaged me again. I barely told him anything about me as far as I was concerned this was a one-way conversation on my terms. I was determined to keep myself to myself and not be taken in and duped. I must have asked him around 50 questions all about himself and barely giving him time to respond before I launched the next onslaught.
ME
“Well I have to go, it’s lunchtime and I’m busy”, I said abruptly. “Bye!”
HIM
“Can we chat again?”
ME
“Perhaps, bye”
HIM
“Bye then”
Thinking no more about him, I logged off messenger, had lunch, and returned to my Mac to get on with some work. This was supposed to be my day off, but I did not mind I took pleasure in what I achieved and had made many friends amongst the students. I know you shouldn’t have favourites and I tried to treat each equally, but there had been one who had intrigued me.
To be honest in the beginning she was disruptive, a loud mouth and a stirrer and if there was any disruption in my class, she would have been at the centre of it. However, I felt I had to help her. Annie as she was named, although she could be a right pain in the ass made me laugh, she brought out my wicked sense of humour but she was hopeless as a student. She was not terribly bright but she had a way with people, getting them to talk about themselves and that was a good quality to have as a therapist. Boy was she dumb though, she was totally hopeless at theory and as I got to know her, she talked about her family and her mother often popped in as a model for her treatments. As I got to know them both I knew her mother wanted her to pass this course so I decided to take her under my wing and tutor her through the course. This was the beginning of my friendship with Annie.
The most of the students knew I specialised in complementary therapies and quite a few knew I was also a Medium/Psychic and this fascinated the majority of them. I tried to answer them as tactfully as I could. I was aware I could frighten a few of them so had to be careful and would avoid talking about this subject. As I had introduced Aromatherapy and Reflexology into the curriculum, I had to touch on the Auric field to explain about the meaning of holistic and how some complementary therapies worked in this way, working on the spirit.
I also ran an evening class in Psychic development at a well known psychic college in town and always had to depart sharp after my aromatherapy class to be prepared for this class as a result students found out this class and a few wished to attend.
Annie was a total unbeliever of Spiritual matters and would goad and tease me about this psychic side of me; she could be disruptive in class at times because of this. Until one Tuesday afternoon in manicure class, she was being particularly obnoxious with her goading. I had always felt that there was something about Annie and it was to be this day I would discover why.
She was calling out, “Prove it, prove it Ms Smith!”
When she was sitting alone and reasonably quiet I sat down beside her and launched into survival evidence. Something I did not like doing unless I was invited to do so. I had just had enough of her goading and was loosing patience with her general behaviour. I gave her evidence of her grandmother’s passing, her deceased aunt and details about her family and father, giving out dates, times, places and names. She was stunned and very shocked into silence for a moment burst into torrents of tears and then rushed to the students’ rest room.
I gave her time to calm down then I sent a student to find her and bring her back into the classroom, from that day, forth she was a believer and it forged our friendship.
13TH FEBRUARY EVENING
Well I finished of the notes I had been preparing for the students course work had dinner watched TV for a bit and then opened my Mac to check over the notes, that everything was in order. I also logged into Messenger as I communicated with my students from time to time. I gave out my IM and email address, so if they needed help and if I was around, I would. Not many took up the offer but Annie was one of the few and she did make me laugh so much. I was not expecting him! John_jack01 to message me again. I had been polite to the point of rudeness.
HIM
“Hey again”
ME
“Oh hi”. “How are you?”
HIM
“I’m doing great!” “How about you?”
ME
“Oh I’m fine thanks”
Moreover, I cannot remember the conversation word for word but we did chat more and before I knew it, the time just flew. We seemed to just click and an hour had passed John asked if he could add me to his list, so I agreed, but I didn’t add him to mine straight away being still a bit sceptical but at the same time fascinated.
I didn’t tell John too much about myself at this point preferring to interrogate him and at some point as the relationship deepened John did admit I had almost put him off by my fifty questions. When I asked why it had not put him off he told me there was something about my eyes in my profile picture.
Later on that first day after I had chatted to him the second time, I checked out his Yahoo Messenger profile, it stated his age was 48 but it was a younger looking photo and my immediate thoughts were he must take good care of himself. Then I noticed his email address, Yahoo.co.uk. Immediately I felt my hackles rise,
“Another chat up liar!” I told myself.
I mentioned the chat to Annie next day and I mentioned I had been taken in by him that I had really liked him but I couldn’t understand why if he really was in the US, why was he using a UK email address?
TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY
Today was Valentine’s Day, I was a bit sad but at the same time, it was Tuesday my favourite day at work, Aromatherapy and I loved teaching this subject. I was passionate about it. It was a busy day though for I taught Psychic development that day in the evening too. Annie was becoming so curious about my class.
“So well why don’t you come along?” I asked.
“Oh can I?” Annie exclaimed
She seemed excited like any new convert. I smiled to myself, for me it was just ordinary and part of normal life.
“The class starts at 7.30pm, I will see you then,” I told Annie.
Since Annie was new to all, of this, I decided to sit her in the centre of my circle of students and each was to use their psychic abilities to tune into her aura. All Annie had to do was just sit there. Annie had also told me she was starting to get premonitions, some were just mundane ordinary things but some were quite frightening to her. I reassured her saying she had a choice, she could learn to master this ability by coming to the classes, where by she could develop the ability to be able to switch her power on and off. On the other hand she could choose not to think about psychic things, and have nothing to do with it what so ever. The choice was hers.
That night my psychic development students were quite excited at having someone new on which to practise. They were a band I had been working with for some months, they had previously attended other classes elsewhere and had not been too enamoured by them. They were however coming along very nicely with my fun teaching methods. I always had believed that learning should be fun and that you learn and take in so much more information whilst having fun.
Annie had enjoyed the evening, she was impressed by what my psychic development students had told her and how fast the class had gone, she just did not want to go home. When I asked her if she had decided what she wanted to do, she jumped at the chance to come again. Therefore, it was settled I had a new student in my psychic development class.
Next day I met an excited Annie at the college.
“You will never guess what happened!” she explained excitably. “I met this most amazing woman, she told me all about you, she knew your name, what you looked like everything”.
“Who was she? Did she say how she knew me?” I retorted very puzzled.
Annie went on to explain whilst she had been at the train station waiting for her train home and she had phoned a friend to tell her how much she had enjoyed my class. Unbeknown to her a middle-aged woman who was sitting on the same bench overheard the conversation. When Annie hung up, she apologised for overhearing but she had heard Annie mention the college and she had been there that evening. The woman then handed over her business card and introduced herself to Annie.
“My name is Meg Watson, but this is my professional name”, she explained. “This is my professional name on the card”.
The business card was brightly coloured with a sun and moon on a dark background, it had the name “Emperoress of the sun” “Mystic and Clairvoyant”.
She then went on to explain that she knew the college and told Annie that, you will go on to help Maryann in lots of ways. Annie was amazed she knew who I was and not only that but went on to tell her lots of things about me, described my appearance and character and told Annie things about me that Annie did not know but that I could confirm. She told Annie too that I would help her in lots of ways. The two of them continued to chat until Annie alighted from the train at her station. It had been a chance but amazing meeting.
“Can you tell me as much as you remember”, I quizzed Annie. “How could she know me? This is so strange”.
Then again, it was not really that strange in the life of a Medium.
My friendship with Annie grew after that and with encouragement, I could see with help I could help fulfil her dream to become a therapist. I had given her extra help to pass her beauty module but the anatomy and physiology module was going to be tough and she was not really a theoretically minded student. Annie had also planned to do the Aromatherapy course I was teaching, this was very intense and had she knuckled down she might have just scraped by but this was not to be. Although Annie could be fun, she was hard work and a certain amount of mathematical calculation is necessary for safety and she just could not master this at all.
Later on that evening of the 14th I had logged on to check my emails after I returned home from my psychic development class. I signed into messenger to check off lines and noticed one from ‘john_jack01’ saying hello, so I returned the greeting and he replied, we had a short but pleasant chat. He also explained he was new to Yahoo Messenger and that a friend who was now in England had created an account for him and the age 48 was a joke, he was really 38. It seemed feasible to I added him to my list of contacts. At the end of the chat, he left a little emoticon of a rose as he had done the previous time. This was to become his sort of signature. I was much taken with John and I could not explain to myself why. I just knew there was something so intriguing and attractive about him, a few chats, one little photo, but I felt drawn and pulled towards him for reasons I could not explain.
CHAPTER 15 'THE HARPIES'
Harpies, in classical Greek mythology and in Virgil's Aeneid, were flying monsters who tormented people and snatched food and other objects. Their name translates as "snatchers."
The Harpies, often but not always represented as a triad, were sisters connected with the winds. There were three or four Harpies, depending on the myth.
In some myths, their parents were Gaia and the Old Man of the Sea. In others, their parents were children of the Sea, siblings, and thus the Harpies were born of incest. They were so hideous that their parents hid them away. They were released when the gods needed them to torment and punish.
Today the term is often used metaphorically to refer to a nasty or annoying woman.
Green Witch was one such woman as were her friends and as in mythology, yes, there were three or four of them and they lived up to their name. I hate to be so catty but yes, she did hide her real face and all of this would have been so funny had the effect not been so real. Green Witch was boss Harpy in all of this all she had to do was say “Jump” to the others and they would chorus, “How high?”
At first I tried not to be paranoid, perhaps Annie was right and I even began to doubt my own intuitive ability. I was not imagining it, I know I wasn’t. The multiple comments, pushing me off John’s front page, she never did that to anyone else except me. Watching his page and as soon as he posted anything new, she had to be in there first, She had to have been watching his page especially as she deliberately waited for me to comment and then she would multiple comment. If I didn’t comment, she wouldn’t be in any hurry to or if one of his other friends did, she would only leave one comment, but with me, it was always five in a row to make sure I was pushed off. I mentioned this to John and he told me he would have a word with her, whether he did or not I don’t know. Perhaps he did and perhaps that was the reason why she seemed to step up her multiple comments.
She appeared to encourage her fellow Harpies to invite John to their pages, so that they had this little clique going and they would have conversations going on, on John’s page. At this time my blog was open to friends of friends so it was possible for her to read what I was posting and something else I noted at this time was whenever I posted a poem she would too. Being a proliferic blogger it must have driven her crazy when I think about it, but that was just me I loved writing poems for John.
FURTHER EXCERPT
It was around late April, early May Annie and I stepped up the remote viewing and we involved Max a lot more in our experiments. It was wicked I know but it was also terribly hilarious. On this particular occasion Annie and I carried all of Max’s toys upstairs put most of them in John’s shower, placed a squeaky dog toy in the bed next to John, and got Max to climb in beside him. We departed and it was not long before I found out what had happened. Poor Max was chastised as John really thought Max was misbehaving. Max was the most sweet natured and appealing dog and John was so fond of him.
We also began to visit John’s work place and moved chairs turning them around during his lunch hour and leaving “A & M” written either on a scrap of paper or on the board. John was really wondering whom “A & M” was, thinking they were a pair of his students playing pranks.
One day Annie and I visited his school at lunchtime just before the staff broke for lunch and we decided to move things around in there. Annie had found a small bottle of orange juice and wondered if it was possible to drink it psychically and that we found out later was possible. We hung around the staff room John was very friendly with a member of staff called Angel, she was blonde and pretty. Both Annie and I saw her Psychically and we did eventually see photos of her at a later date. I found out later that John and Angel had dated at one time and had both agreed to be friends but I did not think Angel had fully agreed to that. On this particular day, she was sitting in the staff room near to John. Annie had noticed she had a Louis Vuitton Bag and it was slightly open and picked up a red Dior lip gloss from it. We had this idea to use it to write something on the staff notice board. We wrote ‘“A &M” for President’. We then returned to the staff room. There was a large cup of coffee on a low table near to where Angel and John were sitting. I was not sure if this would work but being naughty, I swiped the cup Annie saw it happen.
“OMG Maryann” she said laughing. “I wasn’t expecting you to do that”.
“It wasn’t planned”, I replied, “I just don’t like the way that Angel sucks up to John”.
Normally we both decided together what pranks we would do, so the fact that she saw this happen without even mentioning it was proof enough that it had really happened.
Again, this was confirmed then one day we decided to try to see if it was possible to hack into John’s computer. It was a spur off the moment sort of thing as it was just sitting on his desk but not switched on. I was not too familiar with PCs but Annie was and taking our version of remote viewing that bit further using our mind energy, we switched it on. That seemed to work but he still had a password.
“Well we are stuck Annie”, I said, “How are we going to gain access?”
“There must be some way”, she replied. “Can’t you just think of something he would use?”
“Well maybe he uses mathematical symbols”, I suggested.
“Well just try and try and move the keys!”, Annie said
I just do not know what I did, or if spirit helped on this but we cracked his password. I recall Annie viewing his messenger list.
“He doesn’t have many on it”, she said, “But I can see you and that Angel and a couple of others”, she added.
“Do you think if you tried to send me an IM it might work Annie?” I asked.
Annie tried to focus on the keys, she was better at keyboards than I was, we discovered, she tried letters and suddenly an “M” popped up on my screen from John’s messenger.
“It’s worked, it’s worked!”, I frantically messaged Annie. “Try an emotion, do a clown”, I messaged back to her.
“Ok will try”, Annie messaged back.
A little clown emoticon appeared on my screen, followed by a few others. We were stunned and amazed we had achieved this.
“This is scary stuff!”, Annie messaged back.
“Yes it is but amazing, the thing is who can we tell no one would ever believe us”, I replied.
“You can’t possibly ever tell John this Maryann”. Annie messaged.
“ I know, but I really wish I could”, I said back.
“He really will think you have flipped, he wont believe you, remember he is a ‘Normal’ person”, Annie replied.
Lunch break was almost over we left his laptop and Annie marked “A & M” on the board and added below it “Woz here”. We hung around to see his reaction on returning, We could see he was most puzzled that his laptop was open and switched on, when quite clearly he had remembered he had switched it off.
Later on that day when John chatted to me on messenger he mentioned that “A & M” was on the board again and he was wondering who these students were. He even thought of addressing the class and asking them to own up. I really wanted so much to tell him it was Annie and I all along but I heard in my head what she had said. I was so excited, I wanted to give him proof about spirit, and just how powerful the Universe was. This was incredible that this could work, but only with him, and I thought this must be down to the strong connection we had.
Of course Annie and I were becoming very excited about how easy this seemed to be, we wanted so much to share this discovery with others but who would believe us. I even broached the subject at the college of parapsychology where I taught but even amongst “Dye in the wool” Spiritualist Mediums there were many who were very sceptical of this, for some reason actual movement of articles only worked with John.
It was also around this time I really developed a passion for writing. I enjoyed writing course notes for students and even toyed with the idea of writing an anatomy and physiology book with therapists in mind, as there never seemed to be the right book that fulfilled this need. I was also being asked so much about psychic matters that I decided to begin a blog, that way when people queried me I could refer them to the blog and read the various posts I had written on this vast subject. For some reason I used a blog attached to a social networking site. Perhaps in hindsight maybe not a good idea but in the beginning it was fun and I had a mode for writing about the passions I believed in. Annie and John also signed up to it.
It wasn’t long before Angel found out about John’s page and she began one too, delighting in posting bikini clad photos of herself at every opportunity and certainly from the photos, she was posting she was stunning. I admit I was a bit jealous as she seemed to leave very personal comments to John and I intuitively sensed she did not like me.
One day John became quite ill, he came down with the flu and was not really well at all. I was very worried about him and he told me his family were out of town. It would have to be Angel who took it upon herself to run errands for him and look after Max. John and continued to chat a lot during this time, but he was pretty sick. There was an occasion I sent an IM to John and Angel happened to be around near his computer when it came through, she answered it and was very hostile.
john_jack01 aka Angel
“This isn’t John”
ME
“Oh can you pass on a message?”
John_jack01 aka Angel
“Yes, who are you by the way?”
ME
“Maryann”
john_jack01 aka Angel
“And how do you know John?”
ME
“He contacted me, he wanted to know more about the subject I taught, I guess”
john_jack01 aka Angel
“How long have you known him?”
ME
“I guess for a little while now, why?”
john_jack01 aka Angel
“Well he will be fine, I am here to look after him”
ME
“Well can you pass on a message and tell him I dropped by and say I hope he feels real better soon”
john_jack01 aka Angel
“Yes I will bye”
I really did sense her hostility, there was something about her I just did not like. Trouble is when you are a sensitive its so difficult to explain, these instinctive and intuitive impressions you have about people but when I look back over my life, these impressions are always found to be 100% spot on accurate.
Later on that day John and I chatted, he was still suffering badly from the flu I mentioned Angel and I chatted briefly and I remarked that I did not think she liked me very much. I also recall John asking if she was mean to me. What could I say, looking at the chat, it was polite, but I KNEW she disliked me. I found out later why John and Angel had dated briefly but although they supposedly decided just to be friends some how I do not think Angel was too keen on that decision.
Annie was picking up John was quite ill too and I told her that he was not trying to eat and was throwing up a lot. I had been chatting to John and Annie at the same time and he had gone rather quiet. We decided to remote view to see how he was, he had a temperature and did not look at all well. Annie and I decided to try our version of remote viewing again and we managed to place some toast and a glass of Coca Cola near by the sofa where he was lying. Through chatting to him we knew it had worked and half out of it, he thought he must have got the cola and toast by himself.
John eventually recovered and went back to work and he introduced me to his sister Natalie and she too began a page on this site too. We also chatted now and then on messenger from time to time and through chatting I discovered she didn’t like Angel much either. Her exact words “I don’t have a high opinion of her” and Natalie also stated Angel was after John’s money. She explained after their grandfather had passed away, he left both John and herself enough money to set themselves up and she was sure this was Angel’s attraction to John. John had told me that he had known Angel for four years as they both worked in the same school, he said he liked her. I recall telling him that I didn’t think Natalie much cared for her and he told me that was common knowledge and that perhaps if she got to know her better she might. I sided with Natalie on this, there was just something instinctive about Angel that was not likeable.
Annie and I just could not resist carrying out further experiments and we decided we would take it up a level even further. Remote viewing John’s school when he was asleep we travelled around the school looking for the Art Department looking for suitable materials to make posters. We found large sheets of paper and marker pens and psychically we wrote on them ‘Max for President’ and “A & M votes Max for President” and posted one on the staff notice board and another in his classroom. On his white board in the class, I asked Annie to draw a picture of Max, who was a blonde Labrador. It looked like a yellow sheep. We also signed it “A & M” and waited.
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
john_jack01
“Baby they have done it again”
ME
“Who has? What? Done what Baby?”
john_jack01
“These students A & M”. There were posters up and they drew a yellow sheep on my board in the classroom. Fortunately I was in first this morning”
I was laughing so very much, it was wickedly bad to play these pranks but it was amazing we had taken remote viewing to such a level. I wanted to tell him it had been us all along. I discussed it with Annie and said we should tell him, but she said it would freak him. Yet I was so excited about all of this I wanted to tell him all about it. I know we had the proof that it worked but would he believe us?
One evening Annie and I were discussing how funny those pranks were with Max, when I had a bad feeling about Max. I told Annie.
ME
“Annie I have this bad feeling about Max, something awful is going to happen to him”
annie_19
“How do you mean? Like what?”
ME
“I just picked something up from a guide and important guide”
Mediums use spirit guides all the time, that is how we gain information. We have differing guides for different times in our lives, often many are specialised. When I was teaching Anatomy and Physiology I had guides who had previously been doctors and the guides I have who inspire me to write poetry are philosophers.
annie_19
“What are you picking up Maryann, tell me?”
ME
“Annie, I have been told Max is going to be run over, we can’t let this happen John loves this dog so much. I have been told we are not allowed to interfere, it has to happen”
annie_19
“Is there nothing we can do to stop this?”
ME
“No we can’t but we might be able to lessen the effects but we wont be able to stop it”
annie_19
“When is this going to happen?”
ME
“Not sure, lets concentrate and see what times we get?”
Annie and I concentrated and we both got the same time, it was due to happen at very early in the morning where John lived.
ME
“Annie if we add on our eight hours ahead that makes it occurring around 3 pm next Wednesday, what are we both doing then for we have to concentrate on this together”
annie_19
“I am in Debbie Bird’s class that afternoon, she’s got someone in to give a demo on a treatment”
ME
“Yes I want to see that and I happen to be in the building at that time. So we can concentrate at the safe time”
Both Annie and I both fore saw the large vehicle that was destined to hit Max. Our goal was to both pray that he would be ok and not injured or at the very least not life threatening. We both prayed hard mentally and willed that dog to be safe as best we could.
Later on that day I heard from John, he told me he had been out running early that morning with Max and for some reason Max ran across the road. He was hit by a Land Rover and tossed in the air, but apart from being shook up there were no obvious injuries. John took him to the Vet to have him checked out and he didn’t have as much as a scratch. He was one very lucky dog. Annie and I thanked Spirit so much that day. We knew John would have been devastated without Max in his life and Max was such a lovely dog, he did not deserve to die.
FROM DIARY OF A LOVE AFFAIR PUBLISHED PARKBENCH PUBLICATIONS JULY 2009
A LIMPET
A limpet in a stormy sea
Tossed and weary, she wished you'd see
For as limpets do, she clung on to her love rock
Lashed by vicious tongues in waves of torment she clung on
And thought, if only you could see
What anguish you caused me
For that limpet perhaps to you seemed so insignificant
May be you will, may be you cant
This is the one who loves you so very deep
Who gave away to you her heart to keep
And in its place an empty hole
For like a limpet she clings on tight fast
For when she gave her love it was promised to last
If only the rock to whom she clings
Could hear the song her hurt soul sings
Instead he listens to the beating lashing of the waves
Whose lying tongues, gossip, he craves
One day that limpet will be washed away
And rock will have lost his one true love
Claimed forever by the vicious waves
And when the storm is over and the seas have won
He'll weep forever on his own
A solitary lump of lonely stone
MPB (c)
A LIMPET'S JOURNEY
A limpet shed its sorrowful tears
Comforted in the sun
A crab came by and heard her fears
And told her please don't cry
For when you do the seas grow strong
He smiled as she sighed
Forget the rock he's had his day
Let him play with the cruel sea
He has his lesson to learn, such is the way
Please smile for when you do, your smile lights up the sky
You can no longer help the rock, he'll always make you cry
He should have listened to your song
He should have heard you sing
Leave him now and come with me
Leave him, he's learned nothing
And so the ocean laughed, as the waves did mock
And to his devices they left him a lonely unrepentant rock
Don't look back my limpet, leave him on his own
By mistakes we've learned and thus grown
And as the sun rose high
And brightened up the sky
A rock was destined to weep forever on his own
A stupid solitary lump of of lonely stone
MPB (c)
A ROCK'S JOURNEY
And so the rock was on his own
All cried out and all alone
He lost his only one true love
The gift bestowed from Spirit above
Who, she would have sold her very soul, her own
If only the regrets he would have known
For now she's gone all away
So many regrets he'll have to this day
For only five minutes, he would give
To tell her, without her, he couldn't live
There is a lesson here to be said
Please tell your loved ones, before love's dead
How much you really care
Please tell them with haste or lover beware
One day you might come to realise
It will be over, love's demise
And here like he, you will lie
A solitary rock left to weep and cry
All cried out and all alone
Very much full of regrets and forever on his own

I AM ENCHANTED
Your eyes caress me
And then your hands
Tender fingers touch me gently
Giving pleasures
Tracing your outline with my tongue
Feeling you firm under my lips
I taste you
Your dark brown velvet gaze
Captivates me
Enticing me under you spell
Beckoning me to taste the sweetness of your love
Hearing your pleasures
I feel your lips on mine
My soft velvet lips
Full for your passion
Your tongue explores my secrets
Revealing only to you
The hidden depths of my pleasures
I am enchanted
MPB (c)
I AM BLESSED
I sit in wonderment what lessons I am meant
To have understood and gained knowledge from
When I look back on my life all I see is one of pain
The pain of rejection of a mother's love
The pain of losing a loved one
The pain of being separated from someone I loved
The physical and emotional pain of being assaulted
The pain of losing a child and nearly losing another
The psychological and physical pain of abuse
The physical and mental pain of illness
And the emotional heart stopping pain of rejection of someone I truly loved
What lessons have I learned?
I could chose to look back so negatively
But I have gained so much more
I have gained the richness of empathy and understanding
And for that I have truly grown
I have grown stronger
And I have gained so much riches in spirit
And I am lucky for I have gained that knowledge few seldom experience
I am blessed
MPB (c)
I AM ADDICTED
In the dark silver blue light
Illuminating your sleeping form
I watch you breathing
Listening to the soft noises you make
Longing to trace your body
With my hand
I drink in the beauty of the moment
I am intoxicated
Helpless and feelings out of control
I am addicted
And like an addict I crave you
I crave your touch
I crave your passion
I crave your soul
No rehab will help me
You are the drug I need
You consume me
I cannot be free
Nor would I want
You are my therapy
