So, how would you know if they are fakes ?
Easy - just consider the following
1) Do they Walk the Talk - do they live according to the Spiritual Principles they talk about...and, are they truly knowledgeable about them.
2) Are they charging you way too much for a simple session - Yes, I understand that they have to make a living...but if they are charging more than your lawyer / doctor / mechanic...then there’s something wrong.
3) Are they pushing you to pay more than what you originally scheduled for... or tell you about some ‘unexpected problems’ that will now cost more to fix... or want you to make further appointments.
4) Are they judgmental / critical of you - making you feel guilty or ashamed... Are they loud and crass, pushing you to accept their point-of-view, and belittling yours.
5) Are they trying to impress you by telling you how ‘professional’ they are... or wave a Professional Psychic Certificate around... or - even better - tell you that they are ‘an Avatar’
but there’s more to consider -
True Spiritual Seekers are serious about their studies... and have been doing them for decades.
They have dedicated their whole Life to Higher Principles, and are committed to live by them.
This makes them step back from the glamour / ego / limelight of society... they do not seek to be worshipped or adored [they know all about Karma, and the consequences of such narcissism]
They are continually working on themselves, growing and studying, doing deep
self-examination, healing and releasing the Past.
Some of them are quite intense, others appear soft and gentle...but they all have deep knowledge and wisdom.
So now you know... the next time someone tries to sell you a ‘healing crystal for
$ 5,000... or tell you that you are ‘possessed’... or that ‘you are the Master of the Universe, and you should give up your Life and study with them’... [don’t laugh, all these are things that have actually happened]... then smile and enjoy the show - for this may well be one of the best performances you’ve ever seen, outside of Broadway.
Know this well - the Spiritual Path is one of deep commitment, of personal hard work, cleansing and releasing all that is shallow and reactive about one’s self... a Path where the person holds themselves to a very high standard, much higher than what is common in society. We don’t steal / get drunk / do drugs, do not cheat, lie, have indiscriminate sex, consciously hurt or betray others... and most of all, DO NOT want to be glorified.
We walk the Path because... having seen the Light, we would not want it any other way.
And so I greet you with great respect and appreciation, all of us together are travelers on the Path, Namaste...
