Unexplained Phenomena:

 Paranormal Potpourri

 by Dr. Gerri Leigh
Greetings, as this column title suggests you can expect ensuing articles to address a diversity of metaphysical phenomenon.


Hailing from generations of soothsayers, theological scholars and remote viewers from Russia, Hungary and the Far East, I have been 'gifted' with much knowledge I'll eagerly share -- from card reading and dreams (my favorites J) to dowsing, communications with ET's, healing, astral-projection, palmistry (another favorite) -- you name it, I've lived it. Whether I wanted to or not. In grade school through middle school, I wanted to be accepted and considered cool; so there was no way I could reveal my talents to anybody; although my two "baby sitters" Wanda and Janet, are to this day, my two best friends. They know my secrets and love me anyway, as they did then. (As I grew up I often had to hide this part of myself.) These innate talents were natural to my upbringing. Today I am very grateful, but as a young adult my biggest poser was "How was my boyfriend going to introduce me to his parents?!" I dedicate this column to my ancestors and Wanda and Janet who allowed me to be "myself''. Most certainly this first installment is fashioned in honor of the editors who are very mindful of timelines, and visions of the resultant end product. I also devote this column to my right hand man George, who shares the same, and to Valerie Morrison, who "just knew" that this would be a great idea; and MOSTLY to our reading audience.


To the readers of this magazine, please feel free to send your questions concerning anything that interests or even frightens you -- ANY metaphysical subjects. We will publish and reply to as many questions as space allows. So ask away!!! If you prefer not to reveal your identity, you can just leave your initials or an alias. Or if you wish, you may provide your name and email address so besides me, you may hear from other like-minded people and share a valuable correspondence. Now lets' get started on how to achieve ALL of our hearts desires -- with the aid of Paranormal Potpourri.


Deadlines, pressures, workloads schedules - all tension producing entities, yet we cannot live without them. That's right! Statistics on human behavior show that we creatures thrive on stress, and that it actually enlivens us. It's "dis-stress" (distress) that gets us in trouble. When the healthy stress factors mount up to disproportionate levels in our lives, we lose our feel of ease and become "diseased".


How do we know when to stop biting off more than we can chew? By using a simple joyful process, I call the "Intention Game". Take a look at the word intention; when you break it up it looks like this; in tension. Defined in these terms, intention is the inner tension produced by the need to complete a project or chore to the end. Until the goal is reached, the inner tension or intention exists. Therefore it is most important to bear the following in mind, the stronger the INTENTION, the greater the success.


How often have we tried and tried to reach a particular goal but to no avail? Many factors were to be considered. Besides basic understand of the preparatory requirements and a thorough game plan of action, a confident, strong intention is necessary and actually outweighs all other constituents. So we can safely say that you can have the most elaborate methods, plan, schemes and designs and without a strong intention, your chances of succeeding are slim. Conversely, perhaps you can be handicapped physically, intellectually, or financially, but if your intention is firm and committed, you're sure to succeed!


As with any other important project, decide upon a timeline for attainment. Do this for your hearts' desire, whether it be a raise in salary, a cruise to Europe, better health, a satisfying love relationship, spiritual balance, peace of mind, whatever. Once a date of attainment is written down, important internal processes begin to occur. Like magic, you start to attract people, places, and situations that bring you closer to your goals. You come across newspaper articles, and radio and television programs that seem to have just the information you've been seeking. It's not by accident or coincidence. Repeated synchronistic events take place. By establishing the date of attainment, you automatically create a magnetic force field around you to attract your desire.


Next, you visualize in explicit detail exactly what you want. You become an artist, sketching and molding the perfect vision. Detail is crucial here. Is it a new home, or new car? A better paying job, sound health? See it as completely accomplished.


One word of warning now. Be careful what you wish for, because you WILL receive it if you follow this process. That is why I usually suggest the student to request the form and not the substance. For example, if you want a new car, it's better to ask for a new car that is safe and economical with a long life. One of my clients kept visualizing a new Cadillac in vivid detail. He got the Caddy, but what he also got was a real gas guzzling, expensive car with lots of kinks in it too.


Carol R., a client from New York kept visualizing her dream apartment; a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village that was going to go Co-op. This is practically impossible with the apartment market so tight in Manhattan. But she did it. She got the apartment of her dreams and was eventually able to purchase it for insiders' price. When she sells it, she stands to make a sizable profit. Nice work, right? Wrong. She was miserable in that place for 2 1/2 years. What she forgot to ask for was a quiet place as well. The people above her have three children, three cats, two dogs, and lots of musical instruments. The children were playing noisily all day long, the cats and dogs were constantly knocking things over and galloping loudly above and the man of the house was a professional drummer and keyboard player who rehearsed throughout the night. They had no rugs and refused to buy any, even though their children's pogo stick jumping was torturous for their downstairs neighbor.


She called me and I informed her as to how SHE had actually created this situation herself. She didn't like hearing that, but was happy to learn that since she just created this she now knew that she had the power to create a quieter, more joyful living situation for herself.


She kept visualizing a quiet, peaceful living situation, seeing herself happy, serene free of any inner or outer disturbances. She played it safe this time and visualized the form and not the substance. Shortly after she began this process, her boyfriend asked her to move in with him. Their relationship was deepening and he wanted to move forward in this manner.


Ordinarily her culture might have made her reject this offer, but she accepted it, and found herself living in a quiet apartment! So it worked beautifully. However, six months later, she realized she did not want to continue this relationship with this man. She decided to move back to her Greenwich Village apartment. She'd been continuing her quiet apartment visualizations and went back with the total faith that she would be fine. Again, the visualization worked. The family and their menagerie had just moved to larger living quarters and a new resident moved in above her. This man is hardly ever there, as his work required that he traveled a great deal, but when he is there she could hardly hear him!


The foregoing case study covered many aspects of creating your heart's desire. Besides the visualization and vivid detail and asking for form in specific detail rather than substance to play it safe, we also see how Carol released her desire. She also THANKED the Creator in her prayers for giving her a "Quiet, peaceful, safe, clean, happy, healthy, prosperous, efficient, work, home and sleep environment!' Stated in the PRESENT tense, as though she ALREADY had her answered 'petition' or prayer favorably answered. In other words, once she let it go and drew the picture in her mind, it was out of her hands. It is very important not to obsess on your desires. If you do, you will keep them earthbound. An innocent child has faith that the sun will rise and set each day. Adapt this consciousness of faith and spirit.


Just like a seed, once you plant it, you must nurture it and feed it, but you don't keep digging up the earth to see how it's doing or you'll kill it. You must move ahead in your daily affairs as if your goal has already been accomplished. Speak, dress, act, and even allow yourself to feel as if you already have the very thing you desire. Remember, to have a strong INTENTION. Don't wish, but KNOW that your goal has already been accomplished. Wishing is wishy-washy. If you're wishy-washy, your goal will manifest itself commensurately. Till next time, I send you much love and peace along your life's journey,
Dr. G
