The bricks and balloons of trying to live a spiritual life; Part 1
Symbolically, when you do the right thing, you get balloons to spiritually raise you up, but do the wrong thing and you will be given bricks to weigh you down. Balloons will lift you towards heaven, bricks drag you down to the pits.
You must believe in God the Father Almighty who is all-knowing, and recognise his unchanging natural laws. Pray to Him at least three times daily. To pray is simply to talk to God. Ask for help, strength, guidance, protection and the drive to do His will. Reject the devil and all that he stands for.
Be aware of influences around you.
Some influences are of little importance, while others hold major significance and can have a tremendous affect on your life. We are constantly bombarded with TV and other forms of advertising, where companies try to convince us to buy their products. People around us also try to convince us to do this or that, but the most serious, life changing form of influence comes from God and His ministering Angels, and from the devil and his demons.
Be aware! As God is trying to influence us to do the right thing, so the sly and crafty devil will try to throw us off-track. Be on your guard, as both God and the devil try to put ideas in your head. Both are very strong influences, but neither will make you do anything. By the grace of God you have your own free will to do what you want to do; to follow who you wish.
Personal responsibility.
You are personally responsible for everything you do and everything you say. Put your brain in gear before you do or say anything.
When you pass over to spirit, your whole life is analysed by those on the high spirit realms, including your own designated spirit guide. You will be asked, “Why did you do this?” and “Why did you say that?” It is like watching a film of your life being played back to you.
Please digest the next paragraph very carefully. It will be invaluable to you when the time comes.
When you are asked to explain why you said and did certain things, please DO NOT SAY that you did so because someone told you it was the right thing to do. You cannot pass blame for what you did onto someone else. If you try, you will immediately feel yourself being dragged down and down.
When you are asked why you said something, you cannot reply with, “What I meant to say was…” Words are very important. Formulate your words carefully before you speak. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
It is fine to listen to advice from people. Then you can decide to accept or reject it, but remember that the decision is yours alone. It is your responsibility alone.
From time to time you may be asked for your advice. This is a massive responsibility. You must be very careful what you say, as your words hold influence and will give you bricks or balloons. I will say more in Part 2.

Autobiography Out Now on Amazon
‘The Other Side’ is the true story of a young boy who sees ghosts.
With foreword by Ricky Tomlinson, this autobiographical work examines the life of a child who interacts with the dead on a daily basis, and how the ability to see them affects his family and ultimately his adult life.
David was born with the gifts most mediums spend a lifetime developing. His story begins in the smog of the West Midlands, with his mother struggling to bring up her four children alone. When her son sees family members who died years before he was born, including the sister he never knew he had, she takes him to a psychiatrist. The boy gives the ashen doctor a message from his dead wife and is promptly discharged.
The teenage David struggles to understand why he is different, and is expelled from school at fifteen. His adult life takes us on a journey encompassing poltergeists, bombs and startling revelations.
The Psychic’s Wife: Lifting the Veil
My wife, Jane, has finally got around to launching her memoirs on Audible and iTunes, after its success on amazon. She decided not to narrate it herself, due to the time it would require (apparently, looking after me is already a full-time job) and the fact that she cannot stand the sound of her own voice.
Finding a suitable producer, however, was no easy task. As auditions poured in we were awash with American accents or BBC English tones. She wanted a more natural feel. Also, we were rather hoping for a narrator who had a little understanding of the subject. Someone who thought it was all far-fetched wouldn’t give the right feel.
We should have trusted that Spirit would guide us in our choice.
When Salvina McGettigan submitted her audition, there was no hesitation. I instantly knew that she was the perfect choice to narrate Jane’s book. I later found out why. She is open-minded with a good understanding of the supernatural. It transpired that Salvina had attended Spiritualist churches, and as a three-year-old would talk to spirits when visiting graveyards.
It has been a busy week as the press jumped on the release, and TalkTv (The Unexplained with Howard Hughes) has really boosted the interest.
Anyway, here it is;
Head to iTunes or click the above link to buy on amazon.
Hope you enjoy!

All my life I have spoken to those in spirit. I speak daily, to my own spirit guide and helpers from the high spirit planes, but I also speak to people from all different planes.
The earth is the only plane of existence where there are people of all different spiritual levels, walking around together. If we passed over tomorrow, we would all go to different places.
Imagine a gunman bursts into a shopping mall and shoots 6 people dead, before turning the gun on himself. Life is eternal for everyone, but do you think for a minute that the gunman will go to the same place as the victims? No, of course not.
Next time you find yourself in a pub, a restaurant or a doctor’s waiting room where there are a group of people, take a look around. Some of those people will be headed for the pits when they pass over. Others may go to plane 1, 2, 3 and so on. You go to where you deserve to be. The earth plane is simply a learning place. A chance to pass our tests and make progress.
If a small child tells you they are worried about how they will get on in University, as they can barely read and write, you understand that they have no need to worry about that now. When they have been through primary school, secondary school and college, by the time they get there, they will have the knowledge that they need.
Spiritual understanding is the most important thing in life. It is the only thing you can take with you when you pass over. Those who have a high spiritual understanding can grasp spiritual truths. Basic people with little or no spiritual understanding, no matter what I say, they won’t be able to accept it. They will one day. Perhaps when they have had a few more earthly lives. Some people come back time and time again because they cannot grasp the lessons they came to learn. Others may only have a few lives. There may be several hundred years between each life.
People often ask me how it is I can see those in the spirit world, when they have been burnt or buried and no longer have an earthly body. It is true that their physical body has gone, but they still have their spiritual body, which is identical.
Soon after my mother passed to spirit, I saw her. She looked exactly the same as she did before she passed. Recently I have seen my mother-in-law’s beautiful face, and it is just the same as I remember her when she was on this earth. I see my father-in-law’s very wise face, and you may say to me, “Well, how can you see them?” I would recommend you watch the film, Ghost, with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. If you remember, Patrick Swayze is killed and immediately jumps up and runs after the murderer, not realising he is dead. He returns to see his body lying in the street – looking exactly the same. This kind of situation actually happens. If we pass suddenly, we may not realise we have died.
Throughout your life, your brain absorbs lots of information. You learn and understand. Just as your body has a brain, your spirit body houses the mind. Information filters through from the brain to the mind. Someone who has dementia may not be able to recognise their partner or their children. In this instance, the brain, unfortunately, is not working too well, but the mind is fine, so, when someone with dementia passes over, they will remember everything.
If you have read the Bible, you may recall the disciples reported that Jesus walked up the mountain and was talking with Elijah and Abraham, who had been dead for hundreds of years. They looked exactly the same. People in spirit look just as they did when they were on the earth plane. That’s how they show themselves to us. People say, “Well, how can they talk? They haven’t got a voice box. How can they hear? They don’t have ears. How can they see? they don’t have eyes.” They have all these things. All the senses that we now have (smell; sight; hearing; touch), we will have when we pass over to spirit. Of course, it is a different dimension. That is why, when I see people in spirit, it sometimes seems as if they walk through a wall. That is because they are not of this dimension, but of another.
Over the last 70 years I must have seen hundreds of thousands of people in spirit – and from all different planes. It very much depends on how we live this earthly life as to where we will go to in the next.
When you are in spirit, no matter which dimension you are on, you will feel each other. You can hug each other. You can communicate with each other. But, when spirit are able, and they are not always able, they also try to communicate with their loved ones here on Earth. Sometimes they get very frustrated. Imagine your mother or grandfather standing right in front of you while you are watching TV, and they are saying, “Look! I’m here! I’m well!”, but you can’t see them. They try, in various ways, to let you know. You may just smell your mother’s perfume or your granddad’s tobacco. They may be able to move things in your house. This is their way of trying to communicate with you, to let you know they are with you.
Understand and Develop your Psychic Ability: Part 2
Our physical senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch, each have their spiritual counterpart. When we leave our body behind and pass to the spirit world, these psychic senses are utilised to experience our surroundings, but we can learn to use them while we are on the earth. This is called psychic development.
Being psychic is simply having the ability to use your spiritual senses while overriding your physical surroundings. This is a challenge. When you catch sight of someone in spirit out of the corner of your eye, you instinctively turn and focus your eyes. This is the worst thing you can do. You are not seeing them with your earthly eyes, and staring will make the vision disappear. Similarly, if you hear a voice then strain to hear more, the message will not develop. You are focusing on your physical, rather than your spiritual senses.
Next time you see or hear something, try to relax. The state of mind to aim for is similar to daydreaming. That state between waking and sleep is when you will be most receptive. Don’t look directly at the vision, but view it in your periphery. This takes some practice.
When you receive information from spirit; a message or an image, acknowledge what you experience. If you say (out loud or to yourself), “I can see a lady in the corner”, then Spirit will know they have got through, and they will give you a little bit more; perhaps a more detailed image or the lady’s name.
Don’t forget to say a prayer before you meditate. Elevate your state of mind, offer your service and ask for protection. Psychic ability should only be developed for the purpose of helping others.
The Psychic’s Wife
For those of you who are curious about what it would be like to live with someone who talks with the dead, Jane’s book is now available from amazon.
Understand & Develop your Psychic Ability (Part 1)
I have been psychic all of my life. That is to say, from as young as I can remember, I have seen, heard and felt things that others are unaware of.
Babies and young children can be very psychic. You may have observed them staring at, or interacting with someone you cannot see.
If your child tells you that they have seen or heard something, then please don’t discourage this. Ask them about it, discuss it, and encourage them to share any future experiences with you.
Most people have psychic experiences from time to time, usually when they are at their most relaxed. When you first get into bed, you may feel someone sit beside you or hold your hand. Perhaps, when you are in your armchair, you may see someone peep around the door out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn your head, there is no one there, leading you to presume it was your imagination. You did not imagine this, you simply became too aware of your physical surroundings. In turning to focus on this world, you ‘tuned-out’ from the other. You must be in a relaxed, daydream type mode if you wish to see spirit.
Over the years, I have helped many people to develop their own abilities. In part 2 I will elaborate further.
Talk to Yourself
It is more important than you realise to have a positive outlook on life. This will produce positive results, whereas negative thoughts produce negative results.
If you say, ‘I can do this,’ or, ‘I can’t do this,’ either way you are probably right.
Don’t be afraid to talk to yourself. It is a good thing, but be careful what you say. When you talk to yourself, you are connecting with your Higher Self. You will receive answers to the questions you ask. If you say, ‘Why am I so disorganised?’ then throughout the day you will receive answers as to why you are disorganised, and by the end of the day you will feel wretched. Instead, ask the question, ‘How can I make myself more organised?’ Then all day long, thoughts and ideas will come to you, as to how you can better your organisational skills. Put these into practice and you will soon become a highly organised person.
Have you ever walked into a room, only to discover you have forgotten what you went in for? It happens to all of us. If, upon entering, you say, ‘I can’t recall what I came in here for.’ then you won’t remember, but if you say, ‘What did I come in here for?” the answer will come to you.
Whatever situation or challenge you are faced with, say, “I can and I will.” not, ‘I can’t do this.’ Always be positive and confident. It will improve your life.
Personal Responsibility for Your Earthly Life
When you pass over to spirit, your whole life his analysed; everything you ever said and all you have done. You will also be shown how the things you said and did affected other people.
Symbolically, all your good, unselfish deed that helped others, will give you a balloon to to help you rise up and progress spiritually, but every selfish of thoughtless deed will give you a brick that will drag you down. Most deeds, good or bad, are easily identified as such, but others may not be so clear.
As your life on earth is being analysed, you will feel yourself, at times, moving upwards, and at other periods of your life, going down. You will be shown scenes from your life, and you will be asked, “Why did you do that?” or “Why did you say that?” You will be required to explain yourself. If you reply, “Because she told me to do it,” you will get bricks.
When you are asked, remember two very important words. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. You are responsible for all your actions. You can’t blame anyone else for what you did. Each time you do not accept personal responsibility by trying to to shift blame onto someone else, bricks will weigh you down.
When you are the one giving the advice, you must be very careful. Never tell anyone what to do.
For example;
You have a neighbour, Anna; a young single mum with a three year old boy. She is chatting to you one day, and tells you she has the opportunity to go away on a two day course that could help her get back to work, but she is unsure if it is possible to attend.
You say, “Right, you must go. I’ll look after the little one so you have no excuse. You must go on this course.” This will give you nothing but bricks. You have decided what she should do. It may puzzle you, because you thought you were being helpful, but what if this is the wrong thing for her to do? Then you have persuaded her to do the wrong thing, and you will share in her bricks. You should have said, “Have a think about it, and if you decide you want to go on the course, I will help you with childcare.”
There is a big difference. Anna decides for herself what she is going to do, and you are offering help if she would like it.
At times, it may be better to keep your advice or opinion to yourself. Here is another example;
The son of a friend tells you he is thinking of joining the army. You say, “Oh no. Don’t do that. You could get hurt.” The young man reflects on your words and decides against it. Because of your words, he drifts from one dead-end job to another, before experimenting with drugs and turning to crime. He didn’t ask for your advice, but you gave it anyway. His life is a disaster because of you.
Words are very important. Learn when to speak and when to stay silent. Do not feel the need to blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind. Do not believe that your opinion is important. Do not be afraid to say, “I don’t know.” Better to stay silent than talk nonsense.
