Yes, the Seer Gift Can Run in Families

I often speak with people who wonder if the seer gift sometimes runs in family. For instance, sometimes a grandparent will be able to see spiritual phenomena, and then it skips a generation, manifesting again in grandchildren. Other times, a parent can see spirits and then notices his or her child can as well. Sometimes this ability appears in siblings….

How I respond when someone tells me, “I see spirits all the time.”

I regularly hear from people who tell me, “I see spirits all the time.” They aren’t crazy; they aren’t hallucinating; they aren’t even all that special, or at least they don’t want to be. Most of them just see spirits. All the time. It’s disconcerting for them; and for those of us who don’t see spirits, but want to respond with…

Guest Post: Welcome to the Divine Council Forum

Recently, I announced through the newsletter that I was closing the Seers See Forum for reasons explained here. Instead, I invited subscribers to join me in conversation on a privacy-conscious social media platform called MeWe. Several of you already have done so. One of the complaints of MeWe is that “no one” is there. That’s kind of the point. Facebook…
