Writing Paranormal: The Universe Responds

         I love how things turn out sometimes! When I started writing my blog and Fact of the Week, my main objectives were to share information, and to build my reputation as a writer on the topics I love most: the paranormal, the mystical, and the unseen. People really have begun to read what I write, and that’s exciting. But I’ve also been reaping some wonderful rewards that I didn’t foresee, and I’m thrilled about that, too. I think it really is true that when you do what you love, the Universe responds, opening the way for the fulfillment of your goals and so much more.
         One of those benefits I didn’t expect: that doing research for my blog and weekly facts would fire up my enthusiasm in such a huge way. There are so many exciting topics to explore! There’s so much in this Universe that’s unexplained—and we humans are so marvelous and complex, capable of a whole range of psychic abilities and unusual experiences. I’m learning even more than I knew before. And opportunities for new adventures are emerging.
         One event in October is already on my calendar: The Julian Teachings Organization’s 15th Gathering of Light in Michigan. This group is dedicated to carrying on the work of trance medium June Burke and the Seraph Julian who spoke through her. I had the privilege of attending one of June’s sessions years ago, and I discovered the organization last year when I was researching her for my blog. (See my blog entry for July 8, 2011, entitled “Extraordinary People”.) This year’s Gathering will include topics such as tarot, astrology, and Julian healing techniques. I’m really looking forward to writing about my experiences there.
         Speaking of writing about experiences—reporting on my own psychic history in my blog, which I’ve been doing since 2011, has brought me another of those unexpected rewards; it has sharply clarified my beliefs about reality, and has helped me see who I am. What I believe is so much clearer to me now. And I realize that even when I’m spinning out a fantasy or paranormal fiction novel, I’m writing about what I truly believe: that we’re all deeply connected beneath the level of ordinary reality, and that we experience many lives; that we have vast potential, and are capable of amazing psychic abilities; that there is life after death, and that those who have crossed over can communicate with us. I wasn’t thinking about those beliefs when I wrote my stories. But now I realize just how deeply those stories reflect who I am.
         I don’t think it’s an accident that I’m reaping any of these benefits. Along with everything else I believe about the nature of things, I’m also convinced that we live in a cause-and-effect Universe that responds to the quality of our thought. When we do what we love, we’re putting out some potently affirmative thought-energy—to which the Universe responds in kind, in even greater measure than we sent out. So I’ll just keep on doing what I love: delving into paranormal fact, and whipping up some tasty fiction stories for my readers to enjoy. And I’ll let the Universe do the rest.
