My Life’s Work is Similar to that of Edgar Cayce
But I Have To Set Firm Boundaries
I might be like Edgar Cayce, able to give good readings in trance. But I have limitations, unlike him. I have schizophrenia and need to take medication for it. I have to be medication consistent. Unfortunately, some people seem to get their panties in a bunch about my medication needs. I have to set limits on how many readings I would do in one day, if I get properly trained. He gave a lot of information out about how to use psychic talent, how to discover your purpose in life, and a lot of holistic health information.
Despite how terrified I am of medical school hours which are intense at best, I would like to become a standard western medicine psychiatrist, as well as an acupuncturist. Shrink by morning, acupuncturist for bipolars in the afternoon. There is a lot of material out there by Edgar Cayce. He did good work in life, but died a century ago, in 1945. His readings are said to encompass 10,000 different topics. My problem with the way he went about his work though is that he turned no one away which must have caused him stress, which is why he passed on as he did in the first place.
I cannot just pile on stress like that. I can’t. That could quickly make me manic or delusional. These days, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the A.R.E., has a center, which provides bodywork, hydrotherapy, other boutique therapies like Donna Eden Energy medicine, and holistic clinical work. I could say I’m interested in traveling to Virginia Beach someday when I feel up to it. But well, I have limitations in how many readings I can give daily. I don’t even know if I want to do this for a living since I have plenty of stuff to get done, daily, in other fields.
I have many interests, at any rate. I still need proper psychic training from somebody who is not a whack job. Trance mediums let spirits communicate through them but although I can do this, it is kind of difficult to do with a diagnosis of schizoaffective on board. I prefer to use mental mediumship rather than other types of mediumship. Channeling is also something I can do but I rarely do it because I have to be careful what I let through. I’d rather keep that ability off indefinitely than use it and be unable to get out of a channeling state or a trance state for that matter.
Clear feeling is also called clairsentience. This is something I can do which makes me want to lose it. Clairsentience is not my thing. However, I have to limit the way I use my abilities anyhow, since mania can set in or depression, whichever, when I over extend myself. My medication helps regulate my abilities. This is why I am writing about this fact out in the open, if only to stop Internet bullies from harassing me about my need to use Western medicine. I have had people misunderstand insulin. You need insulin to cover the intake of carbohydrate. I have dealt with hostility from individuals who do not understand science, much if any of it, at all. I’m just grateful I have medication that helps me sleep by now. I spent a large portion of my life very sleep deprived until I turned 30. I still wake up in the middle of the night a lot but I can go back to sleep. I’m working on my sleep hygiene. I’m worried giving too many readings might be detrimental to my health. So unlike Edgar Cayce, I’m going to have to maintain strict boundaries that I hope the public understands.

Why Histrionic Personality Is Hard to Deal With
Histrionics who have narcissism as well need to be the center of attention in all interactions. We are, however, discussing plain old histrionics in this regard. They need to be the center of attention. Personality disorders usually get better with age and some therapy but for some people, this is not always the case. Sadly, people with personality disorders do not see themselves as needing treatment unless their life circumstances push them into it when their resources are stretched too thin. I mean they only go when they feel really bad. If not before, they don’t see the need for treatment or help.

Hidden Costs and Lasting Shame of Financial Abuse
I’ve always been responsible with my money. I have a job that pays decently, although (like many in our inflated economy) I should definitely be making more for what I do. I regularly check my credit score. I don’t eat out much, nor do I spend frivolously on non-essentials.

The secret journey to regaining emotional stability
Do you feel that the anxious and avoidant types both seem to be strong and independent, but in fact they are sensitive and fragile. They often fall into emotions because of small things and start to be anxious and avoidant? If anxious and avoidant types want to change these, what they actually need is to compensate for their missing parts and heal their injured parts. In this issue, we will teach the avoidant and anxious types how to cultivate themselves again, making their emotions more stable, more rational in relationships, and at the same time gaining the ability to actively output emotional value. If anxious and avoidant types want to overcome the sensitive and fragile parts of themselves and obtain stable emotions, they need not only cognitive adjustments, but also need to heal the traumatized parts of themselves and compensate for the regretful parts of themselves. For example, the regret of the avoidant type is that they have not been paid serious attention to and have never truly rebelled. Therefore, the avoidant type will not fight for their own needs in many situations, resulting in uncomfortable situations and relationships, and they are always running away and wandering. The trauma of the anxious type is that they are trapped in unstable relationships and have been hurt by the instability in intimate relationships. The slightest fluctuation will make the anxious type feel nervous and anxious. Therefore, anxious and avoidant types are inherently fragile, sensitive, and unstable. In summary, these reasons are that something is missing during the growth stage, or they have suffered some trauma, so if you want to solve these problems, this is the time. Compensate when you need to compensate, heal when you need to heal, exercise when you need to exercise, just treat yourself as a child and raise yourself again. If the avoidant and anxious types re-train themselves, what kind of growth can they gain? First of all, emotions will become more and more stable. For example, you can be aware of your emotions at the first time, avoid emotions from affecting your thoughts and judgments, and learn to regulate your emotions. Secondly, you can truly understand yourself and know your real needs and fears. In the process of re-nurturing yourself, you can clearly understand your needs and fears, that is, you can know why you are attracted to a certain person, why you behave like this, and then you can better understand what you need.
