I went for a psychic reading yesterday. This is something I do when I need some perspective on my life; someone who can look at what is going on in my life through a wider lens.   Yesterday’s reading began and ended with the same phrase, “Kim, the World is NOT flat!”

The  psychic told me that I am at the start of a new phase in my life; that I have spent the last few years purging myself of old beliefs, outdated relationships, and unnecessary belongings to ready myself for the next stage of  my life.  All of this felt right.  She told me that she was getting a very strong image of me standing on a large globe trying to decide which way to go.  She told me that I am now totally unconstrained; that I have a “world” of options and no one saying “no” to me.   All of this felt right as well.  And then she said, “I am being told to tell you, that the World is NOT flat!!”

We both laughed and then pondered the meaning of the phrase.  She wondered if the Angels were telling me that there are infinite possibilities for me.  Then I remembered that, in my first session with her half a year ago, she told me that my Grandfather was present; the he wanted me to know that “he has my back”.  My Grandfather, who was a very bright man, believed that the world was flat!  My Dad used to argue with him about it; he could not understand how my Grandfather could believe this when we had all seen images of the Earth from the Moon on the television.  The psychic told me that this was indeed my Grandfather’s way of letting me know that he was present again.  BUT, she said, that there are often multiple meanings built into statement offered by Angels or Ancestors in a session.

The rest of the session was directed at mundane issues; we dealt with a job offer that has just come my way, my relationship with my husband, and whether we should move.  And then, she asked the Angels if there was anything else I needed to know.  And, in her sing song tone, she shared these loving statements that were a salve for my soul: “Tell Kim that she is perfect the way she is….Tell Kim that she has made no mistakes in her life; that everything that has happened to her has happened for a reason….Tell Kim that she is on course; to trust her intuition; to trust herself….”  I received these statements with tears in my eyes as they spoke to some deep need within me.  And then she ended by saying, “Tell Kim that the World is not flat!”, and we both broke out laughing.

The World is not flat?  Does it mean that my Grandfather, who is in the Spirit realm now, can see how wrong he was about his view of the World when he was alive?  Is he encouraging me to open my belief system; to let go of ideas that limit my concept of myself; or that limit my concept of what is possible?  Or is he reminding me that life is wonderful; encouraging me to get out of the slightly depressed view I had about the next stage of my life (i.e. seeing life as a little flat; devoid of joy and passion)?  Is he providing me with proof that he is present in my life?  Or is it all of the above?

I don’t know, but I came out of that session feeling both exhausted, like I had been through a therapy session, and uplifted, like my Spirit had been filled with a beautiful white light.  I feel like I was touched by a loving presence.  The World is not flat.  Love really does connect us all.  Love really can stretch across the seeming boundary of death to give us what our Spirit needs; what our Soul longs for.
