The Gallery Of The Rotten Eggs

 "It's quite apt I've called this chapter 'The Gallery Of The Rotten Eggs" because between them it is quite an exhibition. As you will see the rotten eggs are a despicable troupe of caustic tongues. Totally fooling the public they are supposed to serve with their appropriate words of 'love and light'.

But behind the scenes these ladies and gentlemen despise anyone who has more of a genuine than them (Which isn't hard as they barely have an ounce of genuine ability between them).

Several of them went out of their way to prevent me getting a stall, or stage performances, at the bigger expos in Australia. Between them they concocted lies to have me pushed into the background during the first round of a popular live Psychic TV show.

One 'lady' had my planned live show in a country town cancelled by visiting the town herself to undertake a workshop, with a stolen contact of mine, during which time she defamed my name to such an extent that nobody wanted anything to do with me!

During a visit to the UK in 2016, I was visited by a rather nasty Englishman, who had the sole intention of disrupting my day of readings ... it turns out an equally nasty British 'psychic' who lives in Canberra had contacted this gentleman, when she learned of my trip to the UK, and organised for him to be as disruptive as possible. This British 'Psychic' ran a so called 'Spiritualist Church' and has a reputation for being downright ruthless and nasty with other psychics.

Another 'psychic' would appear to be brilliantly accurate with her information for her clients when in truth she had been privy to personal information prior to reading. Her Sister was found to have been speaking to a friend of mine prior to her reading, and had then gone to this 'psychic' prior to the reading divulging all the information she'd gained from the conversation. The lady 'psychic' had then just used the information her Sister had obtained, to make herself appear very accurate!

Then there was the male 'Psychic' who discovered I was set to go on a country wide tour with a very well known Medium. He decided to get in contact with the the Medium's Tour Manager (Who is a good friend of ours) to not only take over the tour organising, but also to place him on the tour instead of myself. This same 'Psychic' also destroyed my plans to be involved in another series of events that involved two Hollywood Celebrities, despite the fact I was part and parcel of the official team ... his jealousy was so extreme I was completely cut out of these events.

The rogues outlined in this chapter are real people, and none of my accounts are exaggerations ... this is how it is ... and what despicable tactics to control and bully other psychics (Not just myself) are really like.

'Exploring The Isle Of Avalon'

I woke that morning the prospects of the day … a visit to Glastonbury, legendary resting place of King Arthur. My arrival in Glastonbury came as quite a surprise. I found the mina street quite dreamy and medieval in its existence. After parking my car, I journeyed to somewhere to quench my thirst … ‘Rainbow’s End Café’ captured my imagination.

Soon refreshed, I re-entered the fray; the main street was full of life. Day trippers of all ages and nationalities milled on pavements on both sides of the street. There was an atmosphere of shared expectancy. I felt relaxed and stress free; which for me was rare. Usually life was filled with non-stop panic; indeed, Glastonbury was proving to be just what the doctor ordered. Armed with leaflets and booklets, obtained from The Heritage Centre, I set about exploring ‘Avalon’.

First stop was The Abbey Ruins, which were within walking distance of the town centre. Its peaceful and tranquil lawns made a wonderful contrast to the mayhem in the streets. But, could I believe that King Arthur rested in the grave that lay at my feet? Not quite … the enchantment had not dissolved my sceptical mind just yet.

Next stop, The Glastonbury Experience; a courtyard surrounded by New Age Shops. ‘Starchild’ that catered for those who wished to fill their living rooms with pungent smells (I must admit the smells that drifted from the shop were wonderful). Then, armed with my own pottery dish and small container which depicted the label ‘Avalon’; a hand blended incense; I entered the next magical abode. ‘Excalibur’ I found to the found to be filled from floor to ceiling with swords, pottery and books of every conceivable esoteric subject imaginable.

Books? My mind began to wander. I needed something to read. I felt suddenly inspired … what was in the incense I had just inhaled? I wandered out of the courtyard in a daze, and spotted ‘Gothic Image’ … and obviously popular bookshop. There I mused for an indeterminable length of time amongst the numerous shelves stacked with awesome books, and more books. After a purchase; ‘Living Magical Arts’ by R J Stewart; I was back out in the main street. There I took a deep breath and noticed the change in me. I was once more the child in the toy shop, mesmerised and spoilt for choice.

Next stop, The Chalice Well Garden. I entered the gardens and became overpowered by the peace and quiet of the place. It was wonderful; I was taken completely by surprise by the change in people’s attitudes there. Everyone was friendly and talkative with strangers. I found it addictive to go up to a total stranger and say a friendly ‘hello’. The spring water I found to taste wonderfully cooling and refreshing; its reputed healing properties perhaps evident by the effect it was having on me. Then, with a new-found spring in my stride I set off to visit The Tor!

After twenty or so minutes of pulse racing exercise, I reached the summit of The Tor and the ruined chapel of St Michael that resided on the summit. I immediately found the atmosphere to be charged with expectancy. It was no surprise to find I was not alone, people of all walks of life stood, mesmerised, there. Some were gazing into space, perhaps in contact with their Spirit Guides, or maybe simply unwinding from the stresses and strains of material life.

I must admit I was beginning to sense something of the magic; I felt strangely relaxed, especially when I gazed over the township of Glastonbury towards Chalice Hill. The heat haze made the place look especially enchanting and mysterious. 

Then, after wandering back down the path, through the grass terraces on the side of The Tor, I noticed a plaque that informed me The Tor was the entrance to The Underworld … I could well believe it at that moment.

Sadly, it came my time to leave. I had still to visit Wearyall Hill, the place where Joseph of Arimathea in accordance with the legend had planted his staff of Holy Thorn and it had blossomed into a Thorn Tree. Joseph had supposedly visited Glastonbury when it was a sea port, he’d been a trader in Tin, apparently. On that note, I regrettably had to leave The Isle of Avalon, less sceptical and much more relaxed than when I first arrived. I wondered then if my landlady would permit me to burn some incense in my room? - Matthew James 

The Concept Of A True Shamanic Experience

The concept of a true Shamanic initiation is probably the hardest spiritual process to be understood fully. The recent influx of New Age ideology that Shamans can be created by courses and workshops is poppy cock!

True Shamans are born, not created by day or week workshops. A Shaman cannot initiate other Shamans, instead a fellow a Shaman will recognise that another has been chosen or has been born a Shaman, and then will assist with the spiritual unfolding.

The primary teaching happens through the spirits of the ancestors with spirit provides a commentary for enhanced understanding. My initiation and choosing began when I was perhaps 6 years old, with an Odin/Merlin/Thoth like spirit beginning my training with night after night of astral travels.

A series part of my shamanic training was coming to terms with a full blown Kundalini firing at the tender age of 12! Believe me my initiation has not been an easy pathway, with the looming figure of death standing behind me at every pitch and turn. For true born initiated Shamans, the figure of death shows up as an ever present spirit teacher-guide whom the initiate has to get to know, and eventually integrate with. It is an ongoing relationship.

The definition of a true Shaman Initiation is a simple one: “if the initiatory spirit who has claimed you does not do its best to take you over to the other side with a severe, life threatening sickness shortly after you meet, then you are not a Shaman! My most recent experience was in October 2013 with my life threatening Necrotising Acute Pancreatitis which was complicated with pneumonia, hyperthermia and septicaemia!!! A connection with Odin had occurred two weeks prior to this experience!

The first contact with the Odin/Merlin/Thoth spirit, took the form of a series of psychic experiences, plus a later interrogation by the spirit. My interrogation took place when I was in hospital at 36 having had a serious bowel operation. The spirit appeared in the form of a farmer with two ferocious dogs. One of the dogs attacked me and I ended up having a heart attack followed by delirium and hallucinations brought on by a high dose of opiate pain killers. A classic case of continued shamanic initiation I feel. Which has taken place all the way through my life. Thus I can claim to be a chosen Shaman, not that I truly want this title! - Matthew James

Descendant of the True and HIdden Symbology

Scanned in 2002 before they got worn out!!

My choice of divination cards back in the late 1980's was a simple one - Aquarian Rune Cards and Merlin Tarot (Images left) ...

I have always responded to the TRUE and HIDDEN bloodline symbology of Merlin and Odin. Not the fables, not the mythology, but the hidden true meaning of these characters ...

I know now why I have always worked so well with these sets of images; why the symbology comes alive at my touch. Why I so readily adopted my own style of understanding other people with these images ...

It's because my own DNA resonates with those original stories. The resonance exists because I am a direct descendant of the truth behind these apparent myths. I understand the connections inherently without any teacher telling me .... I knew from the first time I saw both sets of divination cards circa 1985-87 that they would become my most valuable and trusted images to help me shamanically become the person I was 'reading' and therefore understand first hand their path, their past, their present and their possible futures.

Feet In Both Worlds - "Exposing The Rotten Eggs"

"You would think, with everyone claiming to come from the same intention, that of 'being in service' to the other worlds (Spirit, or the other side, as many call it) that there would be a unity; that everyone would work together for the common good, and make a difference to this dangerous world.

You would wouldn't you?

The general public surmise, when they venture to a Mind, Body and Spirit Festival, or other similar venues, that it is one big happy family amongst the psychics. They seem to think all work together as equals. Sadly that is not the case.

In this section of my journey, I will attempt to explain just how difficult a place it is within these psychic fayres, if you are not 'in the click' or if you are the outsider. Huge egos walk around these places, wearing the right gear, and saying the right 'love and light' words to convince the general public they are what they claim to be. But behind closed doors it is a real battlefield.

It is very true. Having been on the receiving end of malice, jealousy and even black magic, I know what it is to be the outsider. I'm talking about some of the called 'big names' in the 'industry' who are the instigators of rumours, hate campaigns and even black hexes. The names would surprise you.... the list is a long one.....

And, in this section I will explain some of the steps they have taken to bring me down. Sadly, I'm happy to say, they only made me stronger. Any form of intention is an energy; thoughts good or bad sent to another individual can be harnessed by that individual to their advantage ... as it has been freely given to them. Having been well versed in how to neutralise 'dark energy' I've been able to utilise the energy from these endless attacks. Then I've sat back and watched the instigators reaction when, despite their best efforts, I've still kept going."

Matthew James Discusses Clairvoyance

Renowned International Shamanic Medium, Clairvoyant Visionary and Inspirational Speaker discusses Clairvoyance from his own personal experiences and insights. Matthew James has been clairvoyant for 40+ years and has honed his skills naturally ...

From Feet In Both Worlds ....

"I regularly get asked what is it like to be a psychic, or a medium and do the things that I do? For me it is very normal, it is after all something I have been doing for most of my life. I'm now 50 and my first professional readings were when I was in my late teens. Work the percentage of my life as a working medium for yourself. It is a long time. It's been an exhilarating life when I look at it through a third person's eyes. I've been living with the impossible and the improbable for most of my life ...

I was barely walking when I encountered my first 'ghosts'. At that age I was obviously very accepting of the visitor. At school I didn't think it strange to be a psychic. I didn't know at that time what it was, I assumed everyone else was the same, as it wasn't something you discussed in the playground, it wasn't something that ever came to mind. You did what you did and you were who you were. It wasn't until late in my teens that I began to realise I was different to everyone else. University and then my first job became very difficult for me ... my secret came out and the troubles began. I had to learn to adapt to being different ... as my natural gifts became more and more apparent. For some it was a novelty to have a friend and a colleague who was a psychic. For others there was fear and prejudice. 

I don't ever consider it odd or strange to encounter disembodied voices telling me about other people's lives. It is normal for me to hold a conversation with a non-existent person. I uncovered the mechanism behind how it all works early in my working career. I studied Psychology to discover what mental illness I might have ... and discovered how the psychic senses work instead. I'd gone through a rough patch in my life, and had begun to believe the opinions of certain others at the time that I had some kind of mental illness. I discovered I hadn't. 

My encounters with the otherworlds began to become more and more tangible. My accuracy as a medium and door to the otherworlds continued and so did the transitions in my life. I have always been a sponge for human experiences. Each and every adventure, whether good or bad, has been stored in my library of life. There as reference material for whenever I needed to draw from my own experiences on the behalf of a client. The adventures still continue, as does my growth into spiritual maturity. The growth is a constant thing, as you never reach your destination. You always continue to learn and grow no matter what age and no matter how many years of experiences you might have. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not on the path of the authentic self. They are being misled ..."

"Taught By One Of The Ancient Ones"

"This is no ordinary life story that is about to unfold before your eyes. It is the story of someone who was taught by one of ‘the ancient ones’ from an early age, and has suffered the consequences of that calling all the way through his life. Much of what is recollected here is not myth. It is documented to the best of the ability of he who has experienced these situations. Where his memory of events is dull, and shady, there will be testaments from others that can remember the events. 

There is no question that this life has been filled with joy and wonder; with experiences of sights and sounds that the average cannot begin to imagine ... but it has also been filled with the opposite experiences too ... sorrow, despair, upset, misery, extreme sadness. All polarity of experience will be covered in this manuscript. Again, to the best of his ability to remember these things. 

What will be apparent, almost from the start, is the influence of the ‘other world’ or ‘worlds’ in his life. It is the ONLY explanation for so much of the occurrences in this life. Indeed, it goes without saying, as a pupil of the mystic arts, from the age of three, that he has always been totally accepting of the influence of the other world. Though his ‘eye’ has seemingly always ‘been open’ ... there have been many passages in his life which are best described as ‘typically mortal.’ However, looking back on these events, he has always been able to see the lesson or teaching presented by these periods in his life. 

However, before we proceed any further, we are not going to delve or descend into the standard or ‘typical’ spiritual life story. Meaning, we are not going to be dealing with ‘spirit guides’ and their input in his life. He doesn’t acknowledge ‘guides’ in the conventional sense of the word. He acknowledges other world influences, yes, but he has always refused to acknowledge ‘the imaginable and the unprovable’. Much of what he has been taught or shown by ‘the ancient ones’ has been in the form of direct thought transfers (Or direct data downloads) and visions in daydreams and meditations. 

It began as a series of astral projections at the tender age of three. These adventures are still very much there in the back of his mind. They are memories and insights which have been etched on his subconscious all through his life. They provide him with the basic backcloth of ‘what life really is’ and ‘what the spirit world really is’. His insights and personal philosophies are very much based on these strong recollections. So much so, he has been deemed very much the ‘odd ball’ throughout this life...."

Feet In Both Worlds - 'How Did It All Start For You?'

I’ve often been asked ‘how did it all start for you? When was the defining moment in your life with regard to your spiritual path?’ It is answer I can give fairly easily, as I can actually recall that moment; though I didn’t realise it at the time! The event in question occurred back in the 1980's when I was very much ‘one of the lads’ ... my interests were firmly on cars, rock bands, real ale etc and certainly not focussed on spiritual development ...!

It was a Tuesday night in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. I made my first visit to The New Age & Psychic Centre on Princes Parade close by to the Grand Metropole Hotel. I’d been invited along by a mutual friend who’d imparted those immortal words ‘you have psychic ability’ a few days earlier, then had spoken to me about Paula Paradaema who ran the Psychic Centre. Tuesday night was a show night, which meant there was always a demonstration medium on stage. I chose this particular night to venture into a different world to my own. A world which would very soon become my own too! But I did not know that when I first arrived. I had no idea what was going to unfold later that night when I ordered a pint from the club’s bar. I still had no idea when I sat rather nervously at the back of the room, beside Paula’s husband Vinny who was at the door, dealing with the tickets and admissions.

My life changed about 20 minutes into the show. It changed when Paula drew the audience’s attention to me at the back of the room, and gesticulated for me to join her and the guest medium on the stage! I felt like a rabbit caught in headlights. I had no chance to turn and run out of the exit doors ... instead I made my way up onto the stage with shaking legs and dry mouth. I felt totally out of place when all eyes of the audience were on me.

Paula introduced the young Medium on stage as Yvette and explained to me how ‘psychometry’ worked. I was spellbound as she pointed to a tray of people’s jewellery which lay on a table in front of me. Paula explained what I was to do ... ‘choose an item of jewellery, hold it in your hand and then describe what you see or feel’.

Who? Me? I’ve never done this sort of thing before!

The rest of the evening is, as they say, history ... I recall ‘saying something’ which related to three items of jewellery. Having never had any formal training as to the how, or the why, I blew my own socks off that I was able to get anything!

Each owner of the items of jewellery were then asked to stand up and explain if they could understand anything I had said to them. I was slightly bewildered when each person in turn nodded their heads and explain the accuracy of what I had said to them.

I was still in a state of bewilderment when people from the audience were milling around me after the evening, letting me know just how accurate I had been ... members of the development group, who in the coming years would become close friends, introduced themselves to me. It was then Paula dropped her first bombshell. The first of many I hasten to add ... ‘I was told to watch out for Matthew about 12 months ago. I knew you’d come, and I knew you’d be able to do what you just did’ ....
