The Dung Beetle

I was reminded by my teachers that we, as a race, are really not as smart as we like to think we are. (And it isn't a race...) That's cool though, because we are here on this planet to learn. While most of us realize that, and move into that energy, I was also asked to understand that there are others out there that really spend a lot of their lives spinning their wheels. This is really because of the decisions that they make and their refusal to use the useful information that is coming from the universe to ease their path. The information to heal is out there now, this information is available.
The ones that refuse to move and like to stay in their s**t, known as "dung" from this point forward, need to wake up.

These are the Dung beetles among us.

As you can see, like the person that processes the same stuff in their lives over and over and over again, the dung beetle ends up with a big pile of it. It pushes it around and around and around all day long. I realized also that the dung isn't its own. It belongs to other animals, but the dung beetle will defend its dung if it feels it is threatened. If this dung is taken from it, then it will start over and find a new ball to build and push around all day. It appears never to get tired with this dung and will roll it as long as there are hours to roll it. Lightworkers take note. Does any of this resonate with you? This is not their own dung! It belongs to others. Unlike the dung beetle you have a choice; push your dung around or let it go. The dung beetle doesn't have a choice, for that is its destiny. You, on the other hand do not have this experience as a destiny, yet you go through your life as if it is your destiny. LET THE DUNG GO, it's not yours.

It's not a game any more. There are no medals for the person that has the biggest dung-ball. There is no Olympic category for this event and you can not trade it in for anything useful like air miles or points and prizes. So, you see, as you "process," make sure you have a clear goal in your mind as to where you want to be and how you want to end up. Honor the fact that you have the ability to accomplish this task and that this is the will of the universe for you. Grit your teeth, push forward and let the dung go.

About the Author

I was born in Ireland and have a strong life connection, past and present, to my Celtic tradition. I believe that I bring a refreshing new energy and meaning to Mediumship. For now, I live and work in Florida and have built up an International client base.

With an insight into the past and present and its affect on the future I can help you determine a direction for your life. I love the land and the earth's energy means that I have a fondness for Native American Culture, and believe that there is a concrete similarity between that and my Celtic philosophies

I have trained as a hypnotherapist and Past Life Regressionist and have finally developed some really good tools to help others differentiate between what belongs to them and what does not energy wise.

I am also a song writer/musician and use this gift to channel poetry from my guides. In my healing work I connect with your guides and loved ones that have crossed over to convey information. I also teach you how you can connect with your guides and help you to understand that there is a lot of help for you on the other side.

I can teach you how to release your fears and find your true path. Because of this I have been asked to speak in various states at the request of people that I have read for, and have returned to my homeland, Ireland, to do private consultations and group sessions.
