Observations – Final Words
Monday, July 19th, 2010The next time you have a problem or seek metaphysical teaching, do not think of the dollar value. Think of what you will get out of it. Yes, there are those out there in the world who are not qualified. I have met many along my path – those whom I know are abusing the energy – but that is their path, and those who go to them are meant to go to them to learn. I can guarantee that, if you have the faith and trust, that money will come back to you in some way. I remember one woman who wanted to do her Masters course so much, but she had tax to pay that year, her business was beginning to fail, and she was really torn as to what to do. She came to the course at the last minute, paying with her credit card of which she had to ask for an extension of credit. Three months after the course, to her shock she received a tax refund for almost the whole amount of her course. Her accountant had told her she would get nothing back that year, and he was so shocked to see what happened. She did not question it either; neither did her accountant. They felt it was meant to be. She had also won a small amount in a casino which she had already applied to her course fee on the credit card bill and, with the tax refund, she had the exact amount to pay it off.
We in the metaphysical area love what we do and for many it is our passion. But stop holding yourself back in vibration and consciousness by counting the pennies. My mother had a saying that, “The pennies make the pounds,” and they do. Spend the pennies and (with the right teacher) the pounds will come. If you need advice and guidance, do not be afraid financially to see an astrologer or a reader who is accredited and who has studied and can teach with knowledge that is true. You will never regret it. And what a relief to your health, even if the answer is not what you want to hear. There is always a new direction if you can let go of the fear.

Saturday, July 17th, 2010I teach a six-day Masters course and will be doing one in April, 2011. Each day for six days I channel Maitreya, and these days taking his energy is huge and really takes a toll on me physically. The cost for accommodation, meals, and the course is not what I consider expensive – not for what one gets, which is the energy of a Master and a wealth of knowledge on metaphysics. Those who have studied with him in the past are now working around the world teaching and assisting others to move forward spiritually. It is not a course to be taken lightly. Maitreya has told me that, if one has faith, then the money for study with him will come. We deliberately booked this course next year so that people could save for it, yet still I know that people are hesitating to do it. They want to raise their vibration but hesitate when the opportunity to do so is put in front of them.
Of course, the Self has a lot to do with this – bringing in fear of all kinds – but for those who do it, it will be the best thing they could do for themselves in their life. It is the same with readings, etc. Every reading a person has with a reputable reader – and I stress the word, “reputable” – can not only answer the questions which worry and concern you, but also assist your health by taking away the worry and the stress which is there. The same with a past-life session or a healing, but for some reason the ones who seek this kind of service balk at having to pay for it. How do we pay our accounts, put food on our tables, and buy the necessities we need if we do not have a fee for our service? I do a lot of work for free because I cannot say “No” to someone who I know needs it. I have done this for a long time now. I also give people the opportunity to contact me if they have a question after their reading. However, people still hesitate. Why is it they can pay a professional person for their services, but hesitate at ours?

Friday, July 16th, 2010Another observation I have made is that, if one is working in a metaphysical field, then it is assumed one does not need money, and so readings, healing, teaching, etc. should be for free or one should charge only a couple of dollars. I have been very lucky in that, from the day I began working for those in Spirit, my income has always been what I needed. Prior to that I was so hard-up all of the time it was difficult to manage financially. After handing myself over to Spirit, my income increased and kept on increasing. I am a person who does not need much to survive, but I do need a nice house/apartment to live in and to be able to know I have a little money in reserve. All that I have earned has been plowed back into the work I do, after living and travel expenses are covered. Because of that, I believe I am taken care of by those energies.
History to date supports that belief. However, I have studied long and hard to get where I am today, worked long hours and often got up in the middle of the night to write messages from my teacher which I knew needed to be written down, not saved for the morning when often I would forget them altogether. In 25 years I have slowly and steadily raised my fees from $20 at the beginning in 1985 to $150 for a personal reading/teaching per hour. There are many in my field who charge a lot more. Public opinion though is not good about what we charge. I am not only talking about me personally, but all others in the field of metaphysics. I watch people’s faces as I tell them what I charge per hour. Sometimes I wish I had a video camera because it is not a look of pleasure on their face. This is then followed most of the time by the comment “I will see about it in a few weeks time” usually never to see them again!

Networking
Monday, July 5th, 2010In all of my years in business, I have never had difficulty in finding work – from my first days working in the coffee shop and from home – even before we had a website. I always had work, but I had many lessons to learn about working. In the beginning, I worried about so much in my life. If a client did not turn up I would get upset over the money I had not made for that reading, not realizing as I did later that sometimes the client did not come because I was tired and those in Spirit knew that doing the reading could cause me problems with my health, or that someone else needed the reading more than the person who had cancelled. Eventually, I learned that, as soon as I let go of the concern over the money, the Universe would bring me a new client. However, if I did not let go and continued to be worried and angry, that person could not come because I was stopping their coming toward me with the energy of anger and fear! It took me a long time to have that “Aha” moment but I finally let go of it.
In the beginning I only earned what I needed, but I was grateful for that. I could pay my accounts and take a salary, albeit small. As I became more experienced in metaphysics, I learned to let go more and more and to generate more salary. As the fear left me little by little, the door opened up to the manifesting energy and more abundance. My business got bigger and bigger – first on a small level, then on a larger and larger level. I never had to network or even give thought to it. As I said to people, my friends in Spirit will take care of me.

Fairy Tales
Monday, June 28th, 2010As I was growing up I had a mother who basically lived in a fantasy world. She was always hoping she would come into money either through inheritance or the football pools which we did every week. The News of The World newspaper each week had a list of unclaimed money from wills and other sources, and she would search this list each week hoping to see her name, either maiden or married. If it was true, I do not know, but she told me my grandmother came from a very well-known family with money, and she fell in love with my grandfather – a lowly gardener/handyman. When she wanted to marry him she was outcast from her family. I am positive it was another of her tales (of which there were very many during my life), which she needed to make people interested in her. My grandmother died when I was one year old, so I could not check on this story as I got older.
My mother was intuitive also. She had a dream book and spent hours with her neighbors talking with them about their dreams and using her dream book to help them interpret their dreams. She was married to my father but wished she had been born a princess, queen, countess, or other kind of royalty and, because she did not have this kind of life herself, she created it in me and lived her life through me. I hated being on show. She made sure that every moment she had to spare she would ask me to “Show them how you can dance, Margaret,” and I would have to perform – hating every moment of it and hating her at the same time. I did not realize that she was softening the blow for me. Later in my life when I went into the public arena it helped me to face my fear of this, but of course, I could not see it at the time

Feelings – Continued
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010My mother had many lessons to learn about money. She was an Aquarian in her past life with me; now she is a Taurus. Taurus is all about the material things of life, and often hard lessons are involved before the lessons of Taurus are learned. Her Aquarius from the previous life is shown in her south node (where she is coming from), her Neptune (illusion) and her Uranus (sudden change or change of thinking). As an Aquarian, my mother was deeply humanitarian, but she was always taking care of everyone else – from neighbors and friends to strangers in the street – whom she felt sorry for. She was always helping others. She not only cared for others but she gave them money and personal items she could not afford to give. She got herself into debt for a long time by giving her grocery money to these people in order to help them and then getting credit from the grocers to buy our food. Of course, once the line of credit was started it also led to the butcher, baker etc; and even clothing. It got to the point where she was taking from one account to pay another. She was never out of debt in some way.
She did finally release her debt but only after a full-on, terrible argument with my father and she finally got a job which helped to pay it off. She never had any money. I missed so many school events because she could not afford to pay for them. I walked to school with cardboard in my shoes because she could not afford shoe repairs, and I had to eat butter and sugar sandwiches because she could not afford the school dinners provided at school.
In this life my granddaughter is always saving; she never parts with anything. She loves cooking and at age 11 is a mini-chef in the making. She is learning to hang on to her money in this life and, although she is humanitarian still, she has chosen to help animals this time around and wants to be a vet!
