He Says “Jump!”
I say “How high?”
by Summer Bacon
I know, I know. More changes. I can hear the moans: “Can’t she make up her mind?” Over the past five years I’ve up and quit channeling twice; decided to do only open sessions...er, no...just private sessions...er, maybe just some traveling gigs...or, nope, just special events...or...oh yeah! I’ve got it! How about topic tapes? (No...Dr. Peebles wants an audience and flatly refuses to do topic tapes!) Okay, then, I’ll go back to doing private sessions...just two a week....or, maybe more...and only two open sessions a month...in my home...or no, how ‘bout in the home of Dan Stief?...or...
Well, it’s happening again.
The next Ministry of Light gathering, “Recreation for the Soul,” will now take place on March 29 instead of March 22. Yes, that’s March 29. Fer sure. No crossed fingers or anything.
Oh, yeah, and I’m going to do weekly open sessions, on WEDNESDAYS in the HOME OF DAN STIEF, at 9:00am. Weekly sessions are back by popular demand (…maybe even influenced by a few insistent prayers, anyone?).
AND, for you aspiring trance mediums, I’m back to doing playshops, AND (‘though I swore I’d NEVER do this) I’m available for personal mentoring (again, anybody praying hard out there?).
So why does it go on like this? As I jump through hoops for Spirit, YOU end up jumping through them with me, and I am eternally grateful to you for your incredible patience and understanding, and flexibility.
I could blame it on the fact that I’m a Gemini, but I think that’d be a cop-out. Even my Gemini nature is exhausted from the constant change.
No, it’s really about Spirit and how they interact with me. They keep me guessing as to what’s next in order to keep me vulnerable. In other words, half the time I’m clueless as to what’s next on their agenda. It turns out that they always have something pretty cool planned too, despite how hard I kick and scream when I find out what’s next...like the Ministry of Light events.
Who’da thunk? (Are we having fun yet?)
So, Dr. Peebles says “Jump!” and I say “How high?” over and over again. It’s sort of a promise and commitment I made the day I started my work as a trance medium. If it had started as vows it would probably go something like this: “Do you, Summer, promise to love, honor and OBEY Spirit, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until…?”
(I’ll never forget the day that my friend/teacher/Peebles-medium Thomas, said in a Journey to the Heart class, “Okay...I want you to write down 10 reasons why YOU are the greatest trance medium to walk the planet earth,” and then he laughed that gorgeous guttural Buddha laugh of his, and added, “And YOU, Summer...I want you to write down fifteen.” I was 28 years old, and coulda died from embarrassment. Funny thing is...I was able to come up with a bunch of reasons, although I had never channeled before, and I was determined...I WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A TRANCE MEDIUM...NEVER!!!)
Okay. So Dr. Peebles says “Jump!” but, you know what he is teaching me? I don’t have to say “How high?” I can say, “Well, I’m not so sure about that...I don’t think I want to do that...I want
” and suddenly I’m honoring myself AND Spirit. That has been a part of my learning as a trance medium. Spirit really cares about me. Trance channeling has been a tremendous process of healing for me, the channel, as much as it has helped you, the recipient of the magic that comes through.
It feels like the time is right around the corner when Spirit might say, “The time is nigh, Summer...your healing is complete. Time to pass the torch; your light is shining now...time to allow room for others…”
Change, my dear friends, is on the horizon.
God bless you, indeed.§
