One way ticket to hell and back

 

Is there really such a place as HELL?

Well, the church will tell you there is fire, brimstone and all manner of terrible torture and punishment, for ever and ever, amen! The church has been doing its best to scare everyone into belief for so many years that they have been left behind in myth and can no longer reason as to what is story and what is truth.

Long ago when people couldn't read or write and took the messages from the church as law, there was a belief that there was actually a place called hell and that if you defied the word of the church, no matter how crazy and impractical, you would be going to hell. Wow, it sounds pretty damned serious and scary! Thanks goodness these days we can all read and write – and the church really has only a symbolic power! As it so happens, I do believe in hell. I think it is real, it does exist and is a horrible place to be. But I believe in it for very different reasons than the church decrees.

Not long ago, I gave a reading to a lady who's daughter was abused by a member of her family. This man, we will call him Olaf, had sexually abused many children, not just his own family but children from many different places. When Olaf was found out and confronted, he killed himself. There is no need to go into detail of the reading but the information about Olaf, once he had died is important.

There have been many times when I have had someone who has killed themselves come through to me, there is nothing so unusual about it, but, Olaf was. When I communicate with the dead, it is mainly through feelings, it is fast, effective and gets rid of the need for translation (thank goodness). The feeling Olaf came through with was dark, it was as though he was in a very dark place within himself, alone, heavy, depressed, oppressive, angry, frustrated, vindictive and unable to see an end to his situation and certainly unwilling to address the hurt he had caused.

When I talked with him about what he had done, the people he had hurt and how it made him feel, Olaf showed no remorse, no interest in being sorry for the things he had done. In fact, he seemed quite pleased with himself, pleased that he had been able to maintain his lifestyle for so long. If ever there was a place called hell, Olaf was in it.

To be in a place within yourself where there is nothing but your own dark thoughts going round and round, a deep, deep depression with a heaviness that you need to experience in order to understand it. Your own personal, private, inner torment. This is hell. It is a far cry form what the church tells us but when you boil it down and take away the rhetoric, the idea is practically the same.

Now, I have spoken with Olaf quite a lot and the only times I feel his situation become lighter is when he talks about the details of the horrors he has committed. It is strange and I am not sure I like it but from a research point of view, our conversations are important.

Everything is not as bad as it sounds, I have also had another man through who committed awful acts against his family and my experience with him is that once he began thinking constructively about what he had done, working through it, his situation became easier and lighter. What I understand from this is that no matter how terrible the things you have done, it is your own personal hell you will be in unless you start dealing with it. It is also clear that hell is not for ever. The sooner you begin working with your own issues, the sooner you will be out of your own hell.

Pretty basic stuff really but and logical when you look at it in the cold light of day. Whether you are living or dead, the principal seems the same. There is only so long that we are able to push our problems away, at some point we need to deal with them, bring them out into the cold light of day and face up to them.

Dead or alive, our shit is still the same and it appears we have a choice of whether to deal with our own personal hell, here while we live or postpone it until we die. Most of us will take a chance and wait, you never really know what might happen, it might all work out and you never need to look yourself in the eye. But . . . my experience from speaking to the dead is that the sooner you start the process, the sooner you will be out of hell and free of all the dark feelings that sit within us all.

Well, happy Monday morning! What a way to begin the week, maybe there is something lighter we can take from this before we all get bogged down in the mire of our own guilt? Hell is personal to each of us and fortunately it is of our own making. Whatever we create, we can also destroy. The longer we wait to deal with our issues, the worse they get, it's up to us how long to postpone it but I would prefer to get all my darkness out of the way sooner rather than later.

. . . my only problem, is where to begin?!

Getting women pregnant

 As a joke, I say to people, “I am good at getting women pregnant”. It's true, aside from two of my own children, I have helped many women become pregnant, not in the conventional sense as that would most definitely mean divorce and I've done that once, don't need to do it again. Healing in order to help women get pregnant is fantastic. It's pure magic. If ever there was a reason to use my Healing gifts, helping bring about new life is surely it.

In July 2010 when Eva (my wife) said to me “come here and give me some of your good stuff!”, she didn't mean let's go have sex, she meant put your hands on me, (we had decided to have another baby). Ok, so obviously no children are actually born of virgin mothers, well apart from Jesus -apparently, and I will stand up and call her a liar all day long, but that's a whole different blog!

Anyway, yes, so clearly we have to have sex in order to make babies, anything else would be terribly boring and so after the come and give me your good stuff there was the really good stuff :-) I am sure you don't want/need me to go into any detail. Eva became pregnant in August and our second Son was born in April this year. I use Eva purely as an example but there are many other women I have helped for the same purpose and in the same way.

With more and more couples waiting longer before trying for children and then because of the way we live, our lifestyles, we find it more difficult to conceive. There are a record number of people turning to medical/artificial methods in order to help and I don't blame them one bit. But for those people there are hormone treatments and side-effects that accompany the procedure. With the Healing treatment, there is no such thing. Granted, my technique has not been scientifically tested and measured – I would be curious to see the results from proper testing.

There are those that ask the question, if the doctors can't help me, what makes you think you can? And my answer is always the same, my experience and a lack of doubt. Even though there are the sceptics out there (and there should be), it is my experience that of the women that come to see me, the majority are pregnant within three months.

There are people out there (and I assure you they make themselves heard), who say if you were supposed to have a baby, God would have provided you with one. This kind of bigoted, supercilious, holier than thou attitude comes from people who either already have their own children or are religious crazies. Neither of those groups could understand how it feels to want children, know deep in your core that you are not complete without them, but for some reason, simply can't have them. Such self-centred, blinkered people make me so angry and have no place voicing their thoughts, they should keep their opinions to themselves.

Creating life is not a controversial thing, it is a basic privilege and helping someone have a baby in a normal, natural way is truly a gift, a wonderful thing. It is a very long way from choosing not to have a child because it is a girl or scientifically deciding only to have blonde-haired, blued eyed boys.

After being treated by me, people say they feel “different”, they can't put their finger on it but something has changed. For me, my clients literally feel like they are blossoming, blooming. It sounds a little strange to say but that's exactly what if feels like.

My success rate in helping women become pregnant is very high and such is the strength of my belief in what I do and this particular treatment that if I had to loose all my Healing gifts but one, this is the one I would keep. I love helping people in this way, it is one of the most rewarding things I do. I think it is so important to me because for many years I too wanted children but never had them. Mind you, looking back, if I did, I certainly wouldn't be where I am now.

Show me your Dimples and I'll show you a happy Healer

Most women have cellulites whether they are fit and healthy or not but only about 8% of men have do. So, if you are one of the 8%, sorry guys!

Cellulites are a simple fact of life and although there are a huge number of women that do something to get rid of the effect, most of us men really don't care about them. Anyway, Cellulites can be seen when the fat cell walls protrude into the lower skin layers, this gives the skin an uneven (orange-peel) look. It can be quite painful and can lead to a personal complex. Given that we are well into spring again, I thought I would bring cellulites out of the jeans and into the light for us all to see.

I talk about this because last summer I ran a trial where I took a group of 5 woman with cellulites and just for fun, I did my best to “heal” them away. Yeah, right, what a waste of Healing, you are supposed to be helping people get better, fix problems and all manner of useful, well-meaning . . . . stuff. Well, if the health industry can welcome cosmetic surgery into their bosom, then can I welcome cosmetic Healing.

Anyway, back to the matter in hand, thighs, buttocks and stomachs. I ran a trial with a group of 5 women and had fantastic results. I don't mean 18% of woman noticed a difference within 21 days, I mean they all noticed a real difference within a week, some noticed a difference by immediately after the first treatment.

I understand this may sound like a strange thing to do but I think it's great. The idea came from a couple friends who suggested the principal behind “fixing” cellulites is no different than fixing any other medical problem. If I can do “X” then why can't I do “Y”? At first I was a little sceptic and wondered whether it was something that was actually possible. I considered as this was mainly a cosmetic treatment rather than something medical, whether I would still have the ability to do it. But having seen the before and after pictures and the physical evidence, it was obvious, cellulites can be healed and I had developed a technique to do it.

Ok, so here is the important stuff behind the headline: I can break down the affected areas of cellulites, making the areas dramatically better and to a degree, shape the thighs, stomach, buttocks. The outcome is that the cellulites are dramatically reduced, the affected areas become smooth to the touch and according to the test subjects the skin feels new and young. In addition, some of the subjects found that excess water had been removed from their legs and feet thus making their shoes a little loose. In addition, clothes that felt tight, now were comfortable. Each of the test subjects came to see me 4 times.

I am not suggesting this is the nail in the coffin for cellulites, not by a long way, but it is an interesting way to treat something that has been a pain in the buttocks for many people for many years. It also begs the question, what else can be done? I don't know, but your suggestions will be gratefully received.

So, if you fancy getting rid of some cellulites, toning your skin or reducing a clothing size, call or send me an e-mail, before Lancome kidnaps me and puts me in a bottle!

To be (humble) or not to be (humble), that is the question.

Rabindranath Tagore

I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?
I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame; but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.

This is a wonderful piece of text by famous Indian Guru Rabindranath Tagore. It's quite simple in its message and beautifully put but I don't necessarily agree with the final sentiment. Yes, being humble is a worthy trait to behold but who ever made something happen or changed a thing by walking softly and without poking their head out above the crowd?

My Spirit Helpers try their best to teach me to be humble and sometimes I listen, and clearly sometimes I don't. When it comes to my “gifts”, I find it's different, I take a more humble approach and not on purpose, it just comes that way. I don't take what I do for granted and I always do my best to be as good as I can. It is true, I am confident when I know I am able to do something, bring through dead friend or relative for someone, heal a prolapsed back or a baby with colic. But my confidence is not arrogance and being confident doesn't mean I am Mr Anti-humble. Yet, time and again, I get the same message from my Helpers – practice humble.

So, even though “humble” isn't the first thing that springs to mind when I think about myself, I do work on it. There is no class Humble 101 I can take, there is no Idiots Guide to being humble, unfortunately it is simply an ongoing process. The real kicker here is that just when you think you are humble, you have to start again because the simple thought “I am humble” comes from the ego and means you still have a long way to go. Bollocks :-/

OK, so I understand why my Helpers want me to work on this, it makes it easier for them to communicate with me, I become a more open channel. I can also see the benefits of taking a humble approach to things, a lack of ego is generally quite an attractive thing in someone. BUT. . . hold on just one God-damned minute. . . I am not Mahatma Ghandi, neither am I His Holiness The Dalai Lahma, I definitely don't wear a loin-cloth (unless it's fancy-dress) and no one asks me for my help saving the world (that's probably a good thing). I am Simon Milton-Jones, a Healer and Medium living in Mid-Norway and I take pride in what I do! When I do a good job, provide a great reading or relieve someone of their pain, I am proud and why shouldn't I be?!

Like 99.999% of other people, when I know I have done something great, I feel three meters tall and I want the full depth and sound of my voice to be heard. I feel like the dust could rise from the earth when I walk (I don't swagger – leave that to John Wayne) and I assure you, I will not, not, not stand in shame when it comes to the things I am passionate about!

So, to be (humble) or not to be (humble), that is the question . . .

I find myself with a dichotomy, a puzzle, do I follow my Helpers and do my best to always be humble or do I stay true to myself and remain far more gregarious, colourful and “out-there”? I don't know but I am sure my path to enlightenment does not lie simply with one or the other. If I were humble all the time, I would drive my Wife, Eva, crazy in a very short period and tell me one person who was ever humble when it came to their divorce?
