“There are some things you need to see – some things from your past about which I think you need to be reminded, and some things that may well come to be part of your future if you don’t learn the lessons the spirits are coming here to teach you.”

“I don’t suppose there’s any point in my asking if I can see them all together and get it all over at once?”

“Not really, no.”



( So you're the spirit whose coming was fortold to me? )
