I was surprised to learn that the young man who asked me that such an interesting question was only 17 years old. He had curly hair on his shoulders and was wearing a kind of t-shirt that I used to wear when I was 17. But his curious eyes were full of wisdom, and when I looked at him, I felt I was staring at the old spirit. Our short conversation was enough to give me hope that there is a new generation of lighting workers eager to learn how to spread love, hope and questioning.

This happened when I was promoting my Compassionate Messenger, taking questions from the audience about mediation and spirituality, and sending a few letters of spirit to people from the audience. About 35 people were buried in a library vault, between shelves full of paper.

After opening the questions, I received the usual inquiries that asked me how I started the mediation, do you think protection is important, how do I know when I really communicate with the spirit?

A young man sitting near the back of the room raised his hand, then put it down, looked at the ground for a few minutes, then lifted his arm again. Then put it back. The third time I saw his arm rise, I went to him immediately.

He spoke clearly and confidently, but there was a temporary voice in his voice. "Can a person be too young to decide whether he wants to develop his psychic abilities?" Ask. "Or do you have to wait until you grow up?"

I had to smile. I said, "You were never too young to start developing intuitive abilities." Then I told him how I saw the lights of the soul when I was eight years old and how lucky I felt because I was born in a family that did not inhibit interaction with the soul. My grandmother was a hairdresser who used to visit the spiritual minister, McNealy King, who was spiritual. When I was 19 years old, my father introduced me to him, Sadie, an intermediary who became my guide for the next two decades.

He turned to my husband and asked him if he had anything to add. "I started reading tarot when I was 16," he said. "I can not remember now what drew me to them, but even when I was a kid I was always fascinated by all sorts of cards." Then the young man looked at the eye. "And what do you mean by the seniors, Sony?"

Everyone was laughing very well. After that, the young man sought me. Craig told me that he was only 17 years old and had many experiences he could not explain. But instead of being worried about them, he wanted to know more about the world of the soul.

She encouraged Craig to find a mentor, to join a group of hopes or a development circle with positive thinking people who share the same thinking and help him develop his gifts - gifts, by the way, we all know (but not all of us know).

I hope Craig finds a mentor or his group. If so, I congratulate his parents on being open enough to let Craig find out if the light person is the path he wants to go.
