My notes this time are not as detailed as they were from Vegas, but I think I got more out of the experience last night. Lets see...
The seminar started about 15 minutes late, the parking was TERRIBLE so at 6:30 nearly half the place was still arriving. At around 6:45 John just walked out on the stage, no introduction, no lights dimming, no warning, he just walked out from behind the curtain and waved. There was a brief moment of ....is that--him?? And then APPLAUSE!!! Pretty funny!
The first thing he talked about was being a New Yorker, packing for an extended trip to Ca., while listening to CNN in the background, and hearing the CNN guy break in with the "earthquake in Northern California" news. He said his wife was probably still laughing her ass off....at home.
He answered quite a few questions this time. Even explained that he knew that while most people may have come just for the readings, he knew that some others were very interested in the "process" and he owed it to them to do some teaching. There were some very interesting questions, some I've never heard before.
One woman asked if people who are still alive can "visit" like someone who has crossed and he said they can. He told a story about coming home from a saturday night out when he was seventeen. At about 3:30 in the morning his mother came to his room and woke him up wanting to know if he was OK. She was upset and very persistant, asking if anything had happened to him that night. He told her no, he was fine. (This was funny, he was saying in little asides: Of course stuff happened, it was a saturday night, but I wasn't gonna tell her anything. His mom said, it's OK you can tell me, I won't get mad. He thought, I don't care if you get mad or not, I'm Not Telling You Anything!) In the morning he asked her what had been wrong with her that night. She said that she'd woken up, rolled over, and saw him (John) floating above her bed. In the vision he told her that he would take care of everything and that it would be OK. She thought he was dead and came flying into his room to make sure he was home and to see what had happened to him. John, of coarse, thought this meant that *he* was going to die, but now believes it was more to do with the illness his mother would soon be facing.
Someone asked if animals ever come through on their own. He said animals, like infants, are usually brought through by someone else but it does happen sometimes. He talked about doing a private reading with a woman in which he thought he was going to have to call the police. This *person* was coming through as the woman's "baby girl" and giving several validations. Then he sees the baby under pillows and the woman laying on top of them. He's thinking this woman suffacated her baby under the pillows, and he's wondering what the hell he should do or say to her. He decides to tell her what he's getting. Asks her to validate, "your baby died in the pillows?" She says yes and starts crying. JE thinks she's confessing about having killed her baby and that he's going to call the cops on her. (It was funny, he said something like,...I'm not a Priest...I'm turning her in!) Turns out her dog was her "baby girl." The dog had been very sick and was dying. She slept with the woman and sometime during the night the dog died. The woman found her, under the pillows, when she woke up in the moring.
Someone asked if those on the other side can cause events to happen here. I can't remember exactly how she worded it, but I think she was asking if they can make bad, as well as good, things happen. He answered that they really don't make things happen here that would interfere with your own path. Not that they can't make things happen, they just don't interfere. He talked about a cousin of his who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. This cousin's husband opened a desk drawer at work and found a thank you card from John's mother. John's cousin and her husband own their business and he's in and out of his desk all the time. When he discovered the card from John's mother, who crossed twelve years ago, they called John to tell him and to see what he thought it meant. He said his mom was just letting them know she's around and she sees what's happening and what they're going through.
Someone asked about what he feels physically. Does he really feel the physical pain of the people who are coming through to him. He said he does but not as intensly as the person who had the experience. (Thank God) He alked about his early experiences with "sympathetic or empathetic pain." About trying to stand and falling on his face because he couldn't feel his leg. And about trying to do a Numerology chart for a woman and every time he worked on it he would get a black eye. If he put it away, the eye would get better. If he worked on the chart, the black eye would come back. When she came to pick up the chart, she'd had an allergic reaction to some eye makeup. Her eye had needed some pretty serious treatment and she was left with a black eye.
I'm going to break this up into two posts. Readings to follow....
OOPS! This should be in the Seminar Tour discussion and I don't no how to move it.:blush:
