Don't Worry! I'm Still Here
I bet you thought I was abducted by aliens. Wouldn't that be a hoot. I am sorry that I haven’t posted in a while on this blog. I
do try to keep up with TV and film reviews on Gilbert Speaks, but there is
so much going on in my life. It's all good.
I’ve been a bit lax on finishing the fifth and
final book of my Roof Oasis Series. Don’t worry, my characters are hounding me
to finish their story, and I will have the book done after I return from my
trip to Greece and Italy in October.
It is hard trying to juggle the many sides of me. I am
an author and a blogger, but I am also a Psychic/Medium with a respectable
following, and most nights of the week I am out doing psychic events. Last
year, I was certified in Basic Integrated Energy Therapy Healing (IET) and this
year I was certified in both Transformation and Cognitive Behavior Life
Coaching. My goal is to introduce life-coaching methods into my readings for my
clients. I felt it was more important to help the soul sitting in front of me
than to connect with the souls who have returned to GOD. The dead are quite
happy and safe…it is the living that need to be protected and comforted.
This year I was fortunate to meet another psychic
medium who wanted to join forces in order to reach more people. Renice and I
started our own business, Angel Connections. You can find us on Facebook, and
check out our event page to see where you can find us for a reading. Renice and
I will also continue with our private readings for those of you who need more
than a 20 minute reading.
As you can see, I have been very busy, and my blogging
and writing suffered, but I intend to spend equal time on all my loves from now
on. Lilith’s Tribe will pick up five years after Warriors in the Mist. Planet
Earth is slowly healing. The demons are back in hell where they belong, and
peace has returned to the surviving nations. Things should be great. Right? There is a new enemy heading towards Earth,
and it’s up to Patty and her tiny army to make sure they have enough help to
defeat this new adversary.
Did I mention that I am taking a cruise to Greece and Italy. I am really excited about this trip. I promise to keep you posted on my many adventures, and I
will definitely take you on my cruise to Greece and Italy via photos.

Healing with Angel Energy
We should never stop learning.
The search for knowledge is what keeps us alive, and in my opinion, young at
heart. Although I am quite busy with my writing, and doing psychic/medium
readings, I have been searching for more ways to help people. This search let
to me taking a class on healing. What is Integrated Energy Therapy? Find out
after the jump.

The Prophetic Meaning of Roof Oasis
Most of you who follow my
GilbertCuriosities Blog know that I am a psychic/medium. I have been seeing the
dead ever since I was a toddler. This gift runs in the family, and I inherited
my abilities from my grandparents on both sides, and from both of my parents. I
published the first book of my sci-fi apocalyptic Roof Oasis Series in 2014…but
the plot was based on prophetic dreams that I’ve had since childhood. Can dreams
warn us of future events? Find out after the jump.

Life with Fred and Lucy: An Interview with Elsie Kerns
I am so excited that my humorous memoir about the two ghosts in my attic is finally done. I did a big book launch this past Saturday, and everyone who bought a book have been telling me just how funny it is. It is a tribute to my parents and growing up in South Philly during the 50's and 60's. Here is the interview. Thank you Elsie Kerns for doing this.

Spiritual Reading for 6/11/2018: Simplify Your Life
This reading is perfect for today’s
world. Every one of us starts our day hitting the ground running. Life becomes
a blur as we rush from one choir to another. The only way we keep in contact
with friends and family is by texting. No one makes eye contact because we are
chained to our cell phones. Depression in on the rise, tempers flare, and…a
butterfly flits past unnoticed. What the heck are we doing to ourselves.
Mind
you, I am not preaching to you because I am the biggest offender. My daughter calls me “Zoom
Butt because I never sit still. I don’t know how because my siblings and I were
raised to keep busy. What can we do to change?

Spiritual Reading for 5/20/2018: The Power of the Soul
I have done many psychic
readings, and the most prominent complaint from my clients is the feelings of
powerlessness. They won’t even attempt to buck the system because they feel
that they are not important enough, or worthy enough to cause a change. What if
I told you that we are as powerful as the angels?

Spiritual Reading for 5/6/2018: Dehumanizing of Others
Them vs. Us! Those people, that country, that nationality,
those immigrants, those refugees…does this rant sound familiar? What is it
about the human nature that makes us fear diversity? Today’s reading is about
hatred towards others. This is the most dangerous of sins, and Jesus specifically
spoke against this hatred.

Spiritual Reading on Resistance to Change 4/22/2018
One of the hardest things for us humans to do is
to change our way of thinking. We sometimes are stuck in a rut, and after some
time, that rut begins to get comfortable even as it hinders our chance to be
happy. We’re not happy with our lot, but it’s just too much trouble to
change…maybe we’re afraid to change…maybe we really rather whine than change.
When our friends and family attempt to give advice, we attack. Sound familiar?
I actually did a reading for a person who wanted more out of life, but anger, regret,
and depression made her deaf to suggestions. She did not want to change, for
whatever reason; the fear of change made her a prisoner to her unhappiness. Nothing
I said could help her. Her mind snapped shut to every chance to free herself.
Why are we so resistant to change? The angels have the answer and the solution.

When You Encounter Failure: A Spiritual Reading
We have all gone through this…FAILURE! How do we
start over again when that resume didn’t pan out for a better job, or that
project you handed in, landed in the trash can, or that business venture vanished
into thin air? Failure can bring on a sense of loss, and depression. We look
for someone to blame for our misfortune. Maybe we are our own worst enemy. Today’s
cards talk about starting all over again. In other words; dust yourself off,
pick yourself up, and start all over again.
Five of Michael tells us that maybe, just maybe,
this promotion, this new home, this guy or gal you were interested in wasn’t
for you. Not at this time. Let it go! Reflect on how you originally approached
the task, whatever it was. Did you put enough effort into arriving at the end-results?
Did you look at the whole picture to see
if the expected results were what you truly desired? You know that just because your family think
you are the best thing walking the face of the earth, to your employer, you’re
just a square peg in a round hole. You don’t fit in. Stand back, take a deep
breath, then look yourself in the mirror. Michael, our warrior angel, is
featured in this reading.
Nine of Michael tells us not to worry.
Focus on the outcome you desire. Okay, so that promotion didn’t come through,
or that girl flipped you off, or that house you wanted was not feasible because
of your income. Don’t lose hope. Put your trust in GOD, then get to work
improving yourself for that next bid. Fix what is wrong with you before trying
to tweak a chaotic world.
Five of Raphael tells us that
everything happens for a reason, so release the anger and guilt. “You worked so
hard to get that promotion, and some little snot nose right out of college gets
what you want.” Maybe, you would have hated the longer hours, or maybe you’d be
required to work with an obnoxious co-worker. Maybe that little snot nose was
actually the right person for that particular job. Even when things don’t go
our way, Heaven has your back. Let it go, heal, and try again.
Seven Of Michael tells us that there is
a better course. Review the details of what it is you desired. Work on
improving the abilities you don’t already possess. Get a little help from your
friends with introductions or references.
Six of Michael tells us that there is
always a light at the end of the tunnel. You have to swim to that light. Make
the changes necessary. Make a plan, then live up to that plan. Live up to the
high expectations that you desire and that means working very hard for what you
want…even if the change needed is relocation.
This reading in dedicated to the beautiful
people who I did readings for yesterday at the "On Angels Wings Spiritual Awakening" . You can do it! GOD has your back!

Handling Indecision and Confusion, a Spiritual Reading
Some people, like me,
make quick decisions. They do enough research to feel confident, then make
their decisions. No matter if the results or good or bad, these people go with
their gut instincts and most of the time, they’ve made the right choice. When
they do make a mistake, they store this failure away for future use, and then,
go on with life.
Some people, like my
hubby, have to arrive at a decision at a much slower pace. They will do the
research, get advice from other people, then weigh the evidence before acting.
They too are using their gut instincts, but act only when they feel confident
that there won’t be any negative feedback. If the desired results are a
failure, they might become hesitant to act on the next big decision. Luckily
for my hubby and me, we balance each other out: daring yet sensible eliminates
a lot of mental potholes…and things get done.
This reading is for the
third group. I call these people ‘Spiritual Procrastinators’ these gentle souls
never fully believe in their own powers to do the right thing at the right
time. The Spiritual Procrastinators will handle each decision as if they are
making a life or death choice. Each decision is handled with fear even though
they are intelligent people, who know what the correct choice is. These gentle
souls freeze up when making a decision; never trusting their gut feeling; never
trusting the research they’ve done; never trusting others who have made a
similar choice.
This inability to act on
a decision and to stick to it, is usually seen in new souls. This is their
first time in a corporal body, and the mechanics of trusting in one’s power
hasn’t seeped in yet. They concentrate so fully in making their way through
this life, that they’ve forgotten the lessons learned in Heaven, or that they
are divine creatures who are temporarily inhabiting this body. I’ve also seen
this inability to make a decision in a few old souls, who may be still reacting
to choice from the perspective of past memories when they had chosen wrongly.
They are afraid to trust in themselves…but how do they move past their
spiritual procrastinating?
Seven of Raphael tells us
to make a decision! Be clear on what you want, then take action. How can these
souls take this first step?
Decision with Archangel
Jophiel tells us to release yourself from your fears. Detox from past lives and
past mistakes. Stop worrying. You know who you are and what you need. Trust
your instincts. They are from GOD.
Seven of Michael tells us
there is a better course of action available to you. If need be, consult with
professionals, then make your choice
Two of Michael tells us
that it is better to make a decision. Do not stagnate in this life because of
fear. Our overanalyzing keeps us from obtaining what GOD wants for us. He wants
us to be happy and, to make sure that we allow other people to be happy.
Michael’s advice is compromise. Make a decision, stick to it, and if it is the
wrong decision…learn from it.
Knight of Gabriel tells
us to take action! Put some passion into your decision, and trust your
instincts!
Now get out there and
live your life!

Spiritual Reading for Forgiveness and Accountability
This was a hard reading
to do because I am touching on two character flaws that I find in myself. It’s
hard to forgive. I have a problem with this and, it’s the first thing I pick up
on people when I’m doing angel card readings for them. We’re hurt. We feel
betrayed…and we want revenge. Don’t deny it. We all picture ourselves turning
the table on those that hurt us badly. I wanted to take a fresh look at the
power of forgiveness. But first, I needed to ask a very hard question. Was I
responsible for the rift that happened between a friend or family member? Meet me after the jump.

The Many Sides of Me
I was spending time with our writers’ group
today. The South Jersey Writers’ Group is one of the best groups in New Jersey.
Every third Sunday, a group of us meet at Audubon’s Treehouse Coffee Shop to
work on our blogs, or for new members, learn how to blog. This week’s topic was
how to keep your blog and Twitter sites focused on what you love to do. I do try to stick to posting only happy stuff, but lately, I tend
to be very political.
While my fellow writers try not to combine their
blogs with the toxic political scene that we’ve all been dragged into, I step
right into the mayhem. I should just stick to talking about my books and my metaphysical
stories, but I can’t. I could start another twitter page just for my political
rants, but then I wouldn’t be me…not the whole me anyway.
There are many sides of Marie Gilbert. I am
daughter, sibling, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, cousin, and
co-worker. I am an author, professional blogger, psychic/medium, and ghost
investigator. I’m know as both Steampunk Granny and South Jersey’s Italian
Psychic. There is way too much of me to put in a nicely labeled box.
My Gilbert Curiosities blog tells my followers
about family, adventures, Steampunk events, zombies, and of course my metaphysical
side, which includes weekly Angel Card readings, and results of a ghost
investigation. My Gilbert Speaks blog is a pop culture site where I review film,
books, and television shows.
My blogs
are normally uplifting and funny. They were at least until this past
election. I can’t keep silent when I
witness the dehumanizing of people by our own government. I won’t keep silent
knowing that an enemy country has committed and act of war against us: interfering
in our elections and, hacking into our nuclear power plants.
I won't be silenced as our babies are killed while going to school. I won't be silenced when the NRA, who doesn't pay taxes, has enough clout to control our politicians. I won't be silenced after Congress voted for a big fat tax break while at the same time stopping funding for meals on wheels for the elderly, and school lunches for poor children.
Conclusion
I won’t be silent. I must speak out against
tyranny and a president who refuses to levy strict sanctions against Russia. I
won’t be silent while the president upsets decent citizens with venomous hatred
against the very agencies that protect us from his buddy, Putin. I won’t be
silent as this president spews hatred against the free press, women,
immigrants, and the poor.
Will my speaking out against a despot interfere
with the number of Twitter followers? Most likely it will, but I could not look
at myself in the mirror if I kept silent. So, too all my Twitter followers, I
will apologize now. I am sorry if I’ve upset you in any way. It’s not meant for
you. I am a voice calling out from the desert. I will speak out for all of you.
Spiritual Reading On Negativity
Today’s message is about
negativity, be it people or situations. This message reminds us that we are in
control of what we allow to affect us.
The Decision Card with
Archangel Jophiel tells us to release yourself from that which hold you back.
Sometimes, we are the cause of our own worries. We need to see the whole
forest.
Five of Gabriel tells us
to keep away from drama. Negative people won’t be able to push our buttons, if
we don’t give them the power. Walk away. Don’t waste precious time trying to
change them, or play their head games.
Seven of Gabriel tells us
to stand up for yourself, but I will go one step further…stand up for the truth.
We are most powerful when we are guided by integrity and compassion.
The Peace Card, with
Archangel Azrael, tells us that we need to release from the past. This isn’t
easy to do, but this is how negativity takes hold of our soul, and drains the
joy from us. Be love, be compassion, be joy. Do this, by recognizing your power. Release the hurt, the grudges, and the need for revenge. Let it all go, and live in the moment.

Loss
There are
many kinds of loss that leaves us feeling that we will never recover, or be the
same, be it, divorce, loss of a job, loss of a loved one. Each of these losses
feels like an attack on our very sense of who we are. The normal reaction is to
blame ourselves. What did we do wrong? What didn’t we do? How could I have
prevented this loss?
When the loss concerns the death of someone we
love, we ask all the above questions, but then find ourselves unable to move
on. Sure, we go through the movements of everyday life…but we’ve stopped
living. Our loved ones, who have gone through the veil, are happy because they
are with GOD. They are free of pain and earthly cares…but they worry about the
ones they’ve left behind, especially, if that person is unable to get over
their grief. Saint Michael, our heavenly warrior steps up with helpful advice.
Three of Michael tells us that we have
to release the past. You don’t forget your loved one, but you should celebrate
their life by living yours. Each day will get easier if you truly believe that
our loved ones watch out for us from the other side. We’ll never forget our
loved ones, but each day the pain will eventually release its crippling hold.
Remember that our loved ones are divine souls who will live for eternity.
The Angel Raphael is the healing angel, and the Eight of Raphael tells us that we need
to continue to grow even though our loved one is no longer by our side. It is
scary to take those steps alone, but we must celebrate life in honor of our
loved ones. How do we celebrate their life? We celebrate a loved one’s life by
growing both spiritually and mentally. Try a new hobby, volunteer at a museum,
join a group that does fun activities. You might think that you are alone, but
the universe has your back. Talk to your departed loved ones as if they are in
the room with you. Tell them about your day, and what you did. This is a
special meditation that helps to bring closure and peace of mind.
The Archangel
Metatron tells us with the card, Leap of Faith, to listen to our hearts. Be love, be compassion, but
bring into your daily life something new that gives you joy. Be happy, and your
loved ones will make sure that more happiness comes your way.
Fear
We can all be frightened by what’s going on in
this world, so I asked GOD how I should handle fear and then I picked these
cards.
There are many things in this world that causes
us to fear. While some fear is good as a motivational tool for change, most of
our fears can cripple us if we give into it. When I pull the cards, I don’t
read the words. I listen to what GOD tells me.
Saint Michael the Arch angel steps in to answer
us.
The World: We live on this world,
and we have to survive in this world. The world right now is a very scary
place. There is too much anger and hate. World leaders are comparing the size
of their missiles, while war, famine, sickness, and death loom over us like
hungry vultures.
Saint Michael reminds us that we are not alone.
GOD has given us the means to survive no matter what this world throws at us.
Jesus told us that although we live in this world, we are not a part of it. We
are divine souls, and we control our reality. The servants of EVIL want us to
be afraid, and to cower in the corner. But to break the cycle of fear, we must
face it, and see it for what it really is. Fear is the catalyst for change…growth…and
understanding. What do you fear? Face it, and know that heaven itself has our
backs.
New Beginnings tells us that we must
look at life differently. We can no longer hate or dehumanize other people.
They are divine souls just like us. We need to join forces with our fellow
humans and face the fear by recognizing that power comes with unity and love.
Don’t allow the evil few to frighten us. Face your fear, be it sickness, loss
of income, war, or death. We are above death. Our bodies may die, but we live
forever.
The Sun tells us that life is
good, and that every day that we are alive, should be cause for a celebration.
The life we have may not be what we wanted, but we can change this by using the
law of attraction to see yourself in a good place. And when you are overcome by
fear, picture yourself surrounded by the light of GOD. You are loved! You are
valued! You are protected!
Handling Setbacks
Because of what’s happening in my life, and
because I’ve had several family members and friends experiencing setbacks in
their lives…I’ve decided to do a reading on how to best handle and survive
these bothersome “potholes” that pop up in our paths.
Seven of Raphael tells us that when our plans
fall apart, we need to first calm down and think clearly. The world is not out
to get us, but sometimes, even the best laid plans of mice and men, fail. Don’t
get angry. Find out why this upset happened, then see if your plans just need a
bit of tweaking to succeed.
The Magician tells us to use the law of
attraction in your life. We are magical and divine creatures. Never forget
this. If you picture yourself succeeding, you will. If you always see yourself
as failing, then you will fail. What you put out into the universe will return
to you. Recheck your original plans, fix the problem, then resubmit both in the
physical and the spiritual worlds. The law of attraction is a powerful tool.
The Moon is my favorite sign, and just my
looking up at the moon has such a calming effect on me no matter what stressful
situation I am experiencing at the moment. Trust in yourself. Trust in the
universe. Trust GOD! Don’t allow previous failures to make you afraid to live
and take chances.
Gentle Heart
Today’s reading is for the gentle heart who is
surrounded by negative people. How do we keep our sanity, and our integrity in
today’s obsession with anger, gossip, hate, and division? Luckily for this
reading, GOD’s mighty warrior, Michael, stepped up to answer this problem.
The first card in Nine of Michael: stop worrying about what we can’t change in this
world. Focus on what is right about the world. Be that person of integrity and
love. Give to GOD what can’t be changed by us. HE has our backs.
The second card is Eight of Michael: We are a free people, made in GOD’s image. We are
divine entities, and yet, we allow the noise makers to rule our lives. Stop!
Focus! Be in tune with the universe, and free yourself of negative people and
events.
The Third card is Three of Ariel: Love your life. Take joy in the little things.
Concentrate on your spiritual growth, and help others do the same. What do you
love to do? Why aren’t you enjoying the everyday small joys that make this life
bearable? Spend time with like-minded happy people. Be the magic in someone’s
life. We can do this! All of us!
Our Country
Today’s reading is for our country. We must stop
fighting among ourselves. The enemy comes from outside. Stand united against
the agents of fear and hate. Refuse to dehumanize. Focus on the healing within.
I had asked GOD about Russia’s successful plans
to divide us. And, I asked our heavenly father to show me how we can stop this
threat, then I pulled these cards.
Until we stop the hate against our own citizens,
be they: black, white, religious, atheist, straight, LGBT, immigrants,
republicans, or democrats…we will be at the mercy of a destructive force. We must
remember that we are all divine souls that are temporarily inhabiting this
human form. What you do to others, you do to GOD.
Play nice!
