Introduction: The Reluctant Psychic, No More
Since the publication in 2006 of my book, Reader of Hearts: The Life and Teachings of a Reluctant Psychic, my life began to take on many forms. I became a published author, a renowned lecturer and spiritual teacher, as well as a celebrity, to some degree. I accepted the majority of the roles I needed to step into, but fame did not sit well with me at all. How could a spiritual teacher be a celebrity? At book signings, I met people from all over the country who had read my book and were literally changed by what they had read in its pages. Helping people was my intent. What was not my intention was the “guru” façade that I felt was manifesting itself at every public appearance I made.
People wanted their pictures taken with me, my autograph, and just to be near me. My concern was that they were seeing me as the source of the message and not just the messenger. I was not the Divine; I was merely delivering the Divine’s message. I had a taste of what a true mystic like Edgar Cayce must have experienced in his time—to be not only a deliverer of blessings but also to be looked upon as the blessing itself. I had worked with many “famous” psychics and spiritual teachers during this period and was hoping to find someone with the same challenge I was experiencing. Instead, I found a “Spiritual Hollywood” type of atmosphere. Colleagues who had been my friends prior to my writing the Reader of Hearts book were no longer my friends once I became a published author. I was now their competition. To say that I experienced a shock to my system was an understatement. I had the perception that all of us “spiritual celebs” were on the same team and had the same mission: to inspire, to educate, and to heal the planet.
With this new world of “spiritual celebrity showdowns” at my doorstep, I felt pretty much alone in my professional world. I did have the blessing of a few friends in the business, but all in all, it was not a business I felt very inspired by.
Messiah complexes were running rampant. When did the spiritual and self-help “movement” become “Spiritual Hollywood”? I could see that the true soul of a very powerful movement was in jeopardy of losing its purpose. Sadly, in my opinion, the movement was not so much about healing any more as it was about “star gazing.” After about two years of pushing my book, giving interviews, and lecturing, I burned out. I stopped. I was experiencing my own personal issues at home dealing with a sour relationship and personal feelings of inadequacy. Yes, even we psychics and spiritual teachers have our issues. I needed a break from my own spotlight. I had to get back to what was real. It was time to re-balance my life and gain a clear perspective on my affairs. I left the psycho-spiritual rat race and stepped into my own cocoon in order to heal. A bitter, unhappy spiritual teacher is a bore. I don’t like to be a bore.
What was to be a yearlong hiatus became a three-year retirement. I went back into my work as a publicist and booking agent for speakers. I had done this freelance job between private healing sessions before psychic celebrity fame hit me. It’s funny how the Divine will lead us into life experiences that hold all the answers to the question marks we create for ourselves. I ended up as a booking agent for celebrated actresses who had expanded their careers into spiritual teaching and healing. I found the irony fascinating, as I had previously labeled the current spiritual and self-help movement “Spiritual Hollywood.” Now, I was booking events for this very same movement. It was, however, a completely different energy.
I coined the term, “conscious celebrity” while working during this time as an agent, which is exactly what these public personalities—whom I had the honor of working with—embodied. The amazing ladies who had been a part of Hollywood for many years advised me repeatedly that it was time for their true work to begin. Their concern was a true eye-opener for me. These lovely ladies of the stage and screen were using their visibility to help people in the pursuit of spiritual healing and guidance. Their helpfulness was the true meaning of Spiritual Hollywood in its most authentic form. A thought that I had cast a shadow on was now transformed into the light that it truly was.
Not only was I working with these ladies but I was also learning from them. I was discovering that millions of people all over the world looked up to them for their show business work and as examples of authentic spiritual individuals, as well. I used to overhear attendees at a workshop with Dee Wallace, Helen Reddy, or Lindsay Wagner proclaim, “If they can balance a “Hollywood” life with their spiritual selves, I can do the same in my own life. I can be balanced, too!” I loved the realization that I detected in people’s eyes. I also loved the realization I was seeing within myself, witnessing these Hollywood ladies in all their spiritual glory. During this time, I began to comprehend that my desire for authentic friends and colleagues in the “spiritual biz” came straight out of Hollywood. What divine humor! This timeframe was a wonderful point of enlightenment for me. When I stepped out of the forest, into the sunshine, I could
