I had been contemplating visiting a psychic for some time, so when I found a psychic fair in Indianapolis, I decided to go. Not knowing what to expect, I went in with an open mind thinking that I needed feedback on all the new truths I had been taught, and I also needed some expert advice.

I was totally in awe that these people could be so accurate about what was going on in my life when they didn’t even know my name.

I was told that I would be going through a great spiritual renaissance and would be involved in a great relationship with another woman in three to five years. It would be a great relationship, but we would have financial problems.

Inwardly, I realized that the woman would not be Barb. At that point, the psychic asked me, “Is there a boy named Stephen in your life?”

I said, “No, I have three daughters, why do you ask?” The reply from her came, I keep seeing a little boy on a tricycle playing around you.”

This was really baffling, and to this day I have no idea what it was all about. I would learn over time, that many times it takes many years before everything we learn in a psychic reading emerges and many times, we have one question answered, only to have several more.

To my dismay, no one told me what to do, but I was shown what would likely happen, depending on which path I decided to take. I was told in no uncertain terms that no one could tell me what to do, the decision was entirely my own, the psychics could only advise me on the likelihood of any outcome, based on the decision I made. Many times, it comes down to what we need to do rather than what we want to do.

After we remove the need to do, then we can do what we want to do. While we are working on the need to do, we can begin to venture into the arena of wanting to do.

I left more confused than when I arrived, but I realized that we, as human beings, choose our own destiny. And if we choose our own reality, then that choice has to extend to the time period before birth. We choose the body in which we incarnate, as well as the family in which we are born. The decision may have to be approved by a council, or God Source, to ensure it is for the highest good of all involved, but the final decision is ours.
