January 22nd, 2012 marked the thirty-ninth year of Roe v. Wade (410 U.S. 113, 1973). This was landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. Decided simultaneously with companion case Doe v. Bolton, the Court ruled that a right to privacy under the due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends to a woman’s decision to have an abortion, but that right must be balanced against the state’s two legitimate interests for regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting the woman’s health.
Since then, late term abortions have become common place. I will not go into this ghastly procedure here do to time limits, but the reader should google it. The more technology advances to allow to see the amazing, divinely designed gestation process, the more people become convinced that abortion is, what it has always been: murder.
My first ever psychic reading was a medium connection for a customer with her unborn baby, the little boy whom she aborted seven years earlier. That little boy, in spirit form, was still with her.
I cannot tell you how many psychic readings I have done over the past 15+ years where women’s aborted children have come through, wanting that connection, wanting to be acknowledged, wanting to be loved by Mommy.
Many people think psychic abilities are cool. It’s hip to be into telepathy, yoga and those enlightened new age philosophies. But Valerie and I bare witness to you that psychic abilities are also a burden. We, as Mediums, cannot only hear the deceased, but we can hear the unwanted and unloved children of abortion.
Please young woman, overworked mother of three children already, woman in the mist of the painful end of a long-term relationship: reconsider. Most of all, pray, to know what your Creator would have you do.
There are other options, there are more opportunities, there are possibilities. Please don’t give up hope because your present looks bleak. Please don’t give up on your baby.
Please take a look at Roe No More Ministry. Norma McCorvey is “Jane Roe” from the Roe v. Wade lawsuit. She has completely changed her stance on abortion and now petitions the government to reverse it’s decision.
Please also check out Melissa Ohden’s site. Melissa is the survivor of a failed saline infusion abortion in 1977.
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. – 2 Corinthians 12:2
This was my blind remote viewing target today. I’m not sure why Paul refers to this exalted state of consciousness as the ‘third heaven.’ Anyone who knows what the Greek text that was translated as ‘third heaven,’ please let me know. As far as I can tell, the third heaven is just a deep, meditate state.
Sometime in 2010, during one the many Adventures of James and Valerie, we stopped by school house number four, in downtown Jacksonville. I have this habit of making rapid turn offs to areas that Valerie says she wants to visit “someday.” I usually decide that means TODAY!
We took such a side trip to this stately old building one afternoon and Valerie wrote an excellent article about it for the Examiner.com. She also reposted it to her personal blog. This morning, Valerie was contacted by a TV Reporter from a local news station. It turns out that last night, Historic School House #4 of Jacksonville was consumed by fire. The Reporter had come across her blog and wanted to interview her about the schoolhouse.
We were both a little perplexed. The abandoned Annie Lytle Elementary school had long been reputed to be haunted. But since the Reporter didn’t seem to be taking the paranormal or psychic angle about the school, we wondered what relevance her article had to fact that the building had burned down.
Neither Valerie or I felt like the building was ‘haunted’ in the classic, traditional sense. We both picked up residual energy there. Residual energy is basically an “imprint” left by the people who inhabited any place. It becomes embedded in the walls and land.
I will keep you posted about any interviews. Valerie and I also plan on going by the school sometime this next week to take some pictures of the burned out structure. It’s very, very sad that such a magnificent building was allowed to deteriorate to such a degree.

I intended to publish this on Tolkien’s birthday, but was unable to because of family obligations.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3rd, 1892 and passed through transition on September 2nd, 1973. He was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of the classic high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He was born in South Africa later returning with his mother, Mabel, and his brother, to England at the age of three. Unfortunately, his father died of rheumatic fever, leaving his family without any income.
Mabel Tolkien moved in with her parents and taught her two sons herself. It was from her, that Ronald, as he was known, got his love of language. Mabel Tolkien was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1900 despite vehement protests by her Baptist family,who then stopped all financial assistance to her. Mabel died when Tolkien was 12, of acute diabetes. She was 34.
At the age of 16, Tolkien met Edith Mary Bratt. His guardian, Father Francis Morgan, viewed Edith as a distraction from Tolkien’s school work and was horrified that his young charge was seriously involved with a Protestant girl. Father Francis prohibited Tolkien from meeting, talking to, or even corresponding with Edith until he was twenty-one.
On the evening of his twenty-first birthday, Tolkien wrote to Edith a declaration of his love and asked her to marry him. Edith replied saying that she had already agreed to marry another man, but that she had only done so because she had believed Tolkien had forgotten her. The two met and renewed their love. Edith returned her engagement ring and announced that she was marrying Tolkien instead. Following their engagement Edith began the process to convert to Catholicism. Her landlord, a staunch Protestant, was infuriated and evicted her.Edith and Ronald were formally engaged in 1913, and were married on March 22nd, 1916.
He served in World War I, serving as a signals officer participating in the Battle of Thiepval Ridge and the subsequent assault on the Schwaben Redoubt, from 1915 to 1916. Tolkien also served as a code breaker in World War II.
The Hobbit
Tolkien was grading papers during the summer of 1928 when he came across a page which had been left blank. Tolkien was an inveterate doodler on any paper or margin that was available. Many of the earlier stories in his Middle-earth “mythologies” were first recorded this way, and The Hobbit was no exception.
On that blank page, Tolkien wrote the sentence, “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” This has since become one of the most recognizable sentences in all of English literature.
Tolkien, of course, had no idea what the sentence meant. He had never heard of “hobbits” and hadn’t the foggiest idea what a hobbit was. But as with most of Tolkien’s stories, the idea begins with a word…usually a name.
From that curious sentence sprang The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, and high fantasy as we know it was born. The newest installment, The Hobbit, is due to be released as a major motion picture in December 2012.
There many mystical threads weaved through out the Lord of the Rings series. All one has to do is read books or view any of movies to catch the high-mind, spiritual aspiration.
This short blog does not do you justice, Beren. Thank you for your contribution to our culture. The world is a richer place because you lived.
Holy Cow, I’ve gone and done it now, haven’t I? I made a public prediction that turned out to be wrong. Gasp! Career over…well, not quite.
I’ve never claimed 100% accuracy. One hundred percent psychic accuracy is the providence of God Almighty. Nothing we humans do is 100%, nothing!
My usual accuracy, like most tested psychics (i.e. John Edward) and trained Remote Viewers is at 80% and often 90%. That means even at my best I have at ten to twenty percent running error rate. Even when I get great data, some small element is wrong. That is our human filter right now. As Paul stated, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
That being said, I certainly could have done better with my GOP Nominee prediction. I have not been getting the proper sleep or meditation time and my eating habits have not been the best. There is a big difference between passively perceiving psychic information and actively seeking it as well. Even people with training run the risk of being wrong more by actively pushing the limits of their perception.
National events are also much more complex than someone asking me about their personal life. There are many more variable, intuitively, to deal with. All this being said, my failure to predict the GOP Nominee did set me back and make me ponder. So I am taking more time to prepare and care for myself before expecting amazing results again.

Trust me, I will be back on track, blowing your socks off again, very soon! In the mean time, you might want to consult my good buddy Zoltar the Magnificent, located in St. Augustine, Florida!
In a day and age when few men are thinking about their own or anyone else’s character development, thoughtful men must look to the past to gain inspiration. Benjamin Franklin, one of the American Revolution’s most notable figures is such an inspiration. He was a Founding Father of the United States, a polymath, author, printer, inventor, postmaster, Rosicrucian and Freemason.
He invented the lightening rod, bifocal lenses, the Franklin stove, the carriage odometer, the glass armonica. He founded the first lending library and the first Fire Department in Pennsylvania.
Franklin sought to cultivate his character by a plan of thirteen virtues, which he developed at age 20 (in 1726) and continued to practice in some form for the rest of his life. His autobiography lists his thirteen virtues as:
Temperance: “Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.”
Silence: “Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.”
Order: “Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.”
Resolution: “Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.”
Frugality: “Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.”
Industry: “Lose no time; be always employ’d in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.”
Sincerity: “Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.”
Justice: “Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.”
Moderation: “Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.”
Cleanliness: “Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.”
Tranquility: “Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.”
Chastity: “Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.”
Humility: “Imitate Jesus and Socrates.”
Franklin did not try to work on them all at once. Instead, he would work on one and only one each week “leaving all others to their ordinary chance”. While Franklin did not live completely by his virtues and by his own admission, he fell short of them many times, he believed the attempt made him a better man contributing greatly to his success and happiness, which is why in his autobiography, he devoted more pages to this plan than to any other single point; in his autobiography Franklin wrote, “I hope, therefore, that some of my descendants may follow the example and reap the benefit.”
Men like Benjamin Franklin are not very common these days. But I firmly believe that men today could do much good while striving to follow his example.
Michele Bachmann has decided to end her presidential campaign. Most of you who have been following my blog are probably saying that I was wrong about Bachmann being the GOP Candidate. Maybe.
I am still interested to see what happens over the next 24-48 hours. It would not surprise me if Sarah Palin influences Bachmann to reenter the race. If she does not, I’ll concede that I was wrong and misinterpreted my data.
While I think there is a high probability that Bachmann would be the VP pick, I would still consider myself wrong. I was not remote viewing the VP Nominee, but the presidential candidate.
