but from what I have gathered, they will also not interfere in certain situations for some still-unknown reason. They seem to have allthis power, but on occasions do not use it. Further, while most image carriers are peaceful and loving, I have also met some very rude ones as well!
That is enough for now about the image carriers’ purpose and psychology. Let’s get back to the young princess and prince, little Joey and Gavin. According to their stories, Gavin is really advanced and scores fairly high on that rating scale of Image Carriers. After all, he unwillinglyreads people’s intentions and then tries to avoid them, also picking up bad vibes from his neighbour, Mr. Watson. He must really be one of those advanced image carriers, or is he?
Little Joey just dropped out of the youth group and got on with life. The princess had to continue keeping one eye on her aunt and the other eye on her little brother. She didn’t know why she felt this way, but she believed that her aunt was up to no good. Nevertheless, she got on with her life the best she could and continued protecting her little brother.
From the three people mentioned above, only two of them can be considered image carriers in the making. The other one has a psychiatric illness. Do you know which one?
I have pointed these stories out to you as to not confuse the reader with people I believe are image carriers versus those who have a psychiatric disorder as confirmed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association.
Many people have thought to themselves over the years that they are special and have special powers only to later discover that they were in fact deluding themselves or suffering fromsome form of mental illness or some physical ailment such as a brain tumour. Image Carriers are not mentally impaired in any way; rather the exact opposite.
They seem to be more psychologically advanced than the ordinary individual. Most ImageCarriers tend to get on with people and are not aggressive or confrontational. In fact, they show a passive side to themselves. Those suffering with a psychosis of sorts usually have ahistory of disjointed relationships, and in many cases, they have burnt bridges, found relationships challenging, and may come across as confrontational more so than usual. Image Carriers are the opposite. I am not stating that all people with a psychosis fit the above description, but hopefully you get the idea.
Unfortunately, Gavin is not an Image Carrier. He was eventually diagnosed with early stages of schizophrenia. Gavin was becoming paranoid and believing many people were bad. Image Carriers don’t operate this way and will usually shy away from confrontation and aggressive behaviour. They know how to operate in the real world. They can distinguish right from wrong and have common sense. They are in charge of their higher functioning and executive faculties and respond accordingly. Those with some form of psychosis may have difficulty managing their illness and may also have challenges with what is real and what is not, and what is reality and what is fantasy.
I have kept in contact with the princess and Gavin and his family over the years, but they have now moved on. The princess eventually moved out when she turned eighteen and shared a house with two of her best friends. She took her brother with her. It was later discovered that the aunt was entitled to a large sum of money if anything happened to the children. The princess and her brother did not know anything about this, and it was only later that the princess found out that she and her brother was sitting on a fortune, money to be released to them when they become of age. So, was the princess onto something or was it just all a coincidence? We may never know. Perhaps if the princess was not on the ball from the verybeginning, something may have happened to one or both of them.
The last I heard about Gavin was from his mother many years ago. She reported that he was doing okay, receiving good treatment. His mother is very supportive of him and has come to accept her son’s illness. In terms of Joey’s situation regarding his old youth worker, well, we have heard nothing to date. One could easily assume that maybe he was doing untoward things with the children, but we cannot prove any of this, as nothing has hit the media and nobody has come forward. Sometimes we do not get the closure we are hoping for, and sometimes image carriers receive these warnings, and we cannot join the dots or work out why these messages or feelings came about. Yet, this seems to be how things work when we are still trying to understand how our spiritual and intuitive minds work.
We are also learning more about our Other Selves and that invisible space all around us, somecall our electromagnetic field, and what information that space harbours. So what you actually see in the mirror is only half of who you really are. The other part that should be reflected back to you is invisible.
Finally, I wish to add that Joey is still in my life today. He has all but grown up. I know more about him as he plays a big role in all of this. He is that youth with untidy hair that lives in my house and plays his music loudly in my kitchen in the mornings. You will get to know muchmore about Joey as you read on.
Chapter Three
Making Contact
He was going to advertise in his local paper…
Adam had always used a holistic approach in his education and training programs, and to his surprise the response was very rewarding. His holistic methods included mainstream approaches as well as cultural and spiritual practices. He worked with physiotherapists, nutritionists, dieticians when necessary and where appropriate. Some of his colleagues became fans of his approach and included what they learnt from him in their own action plans and training classes. Many kept the spiritual side of things discreet and did not go about advertising their successes, as many in the community viewed paranormal teachings, premonitions and instincts as a waste of time and non-productive.
Nevertheless, Adam and a few of his colleagues continued along these lines until he decided to look into this area with more energy and commitment. Feedback from key business clients, encouraged him to learn more about what was going on with those among us who appeared to be blessed with highly tuned premonitions and sixth sense capabilities. They also seem to use logic and reason to manage themselves and to get on in the physical and practical world. Moreover, Image Carriers and their equivalents seem very comfortable to rely on their personal hunches and instincts when tackling business and other decisions.
They are quite at home with invisible energies and tapping into the unseen world to gather their information.
Adam eventually began wondering if there were more of these special people around and how he could go about meeting them. He wanted to interview them to hear their spiritual stories and perhaps learn their ways so he could include them in his treatment programs.
When Adam got home that evening, his young friend and housemate, Joey, was watching television and waiting for Adam to cook him dinner. Adam and Joey go back a very long time. Joey moved in with Adam when he was fifteen, going on to sixteen, but they had known each other since Joey was a young child. Joey also has a bit of a psychic gift, as he often predicted things over the years that came true. This skill made Adam sit up and pay attention. Joey would casually make comments about people’s so-called intentions or pick up instantly if a person was lying or telling the truth. He had an uncanny ability to pick out the murderers, the liars and people with agendas on television. About eighty or ninety per cent of what he would say would come true. Sometimes he would say the phone call was for Adam, and a moment later, the phone would ring, and yes, it was for Adam.
Joey was around half Adam’s age: twenty-two. He has been staying with Adam for many years now, and the two of them have become very good friends. Many mistook them as father and son because of their closeness and respect they had for each other. Joey did not take his clairvoyant abilities too seriously; in fact, he didn’t bother with them much. He just thought they were normal and got on with his life. Adam remembered many years ago when
