Debra Lynne Katz - You Are Psychic: The Art of Clairvoyant Reading & Healing

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears ... Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitide; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923

Americans do not wake up in the morning longing for a balanced budget. What we do long for cannot be put in material terms, because it is not material. We're about to realize that our biggest problems, and our most powerful solutions, are not outside us but within.

-Marianne Williamson, The Healing of America, 1997

DEBRA LYNNE KATZ

To my son, Manny: I love you more than all the stars in the sky, all the fishes in the sea, even more than infinity, and in spirit we will be together throughout eternity.

To the most profound miracle of my life, my son, Manny: If I loved you anymore than I already do, my heart might explode, but I'm willing to take the risk. To my generous twin sister, Amy Beth Katz, my earliest partner in PSI research. To my dear friend Thomas Bruce McArthur, whose unconditional love and support made the completion of this book possible and painless, and who is living proof that angels really do exist. To the spirit of Lewis Bostwick: We never met in the body, but your courage, creativity, and compassion will dwell in my heart and the pages of this manuscript forever. To Jim Tipton and Ben Faust. And to my most powerful of teachers, my students and clients: You have demonstrated that courage is not about being fearless, but rather continuing on despite the fear. You have given me three of the most sacred of gifts during the course of our work together: a mirror as a tool for shattering limits; much of the knowledge presented in this book; and an unshakable conviction that the human race is absolutely one worth fighting for. It's my most sincere hope that this manuscript will help you answer those questions we didn't have time to address.

I'd like to acknowledge my most influential teachers: Chris Murphy, Robert Skillman, Denise Bisbiglia, David Pierce (Intuitive Way), John Fulton (The Aesclepion Healing Center), Wayne Rhodes, and the 1995-1997 staff and graduating class of the Berkeley Psychic Institute, including Michael Leach, Edith Fogel, and Melanie Griffin. Also the Philippine healers: Brother William Nanog, David Oligoni, Brother Lawrence, and June Labo. Also to all my students, clients, and colleagues in Sedona, Arizona, and to my beautiful and enthusiastic students in Los Angeles, including Lynne Dufrane.

To Rachael Mai, Kazandra Martin, Francine Sheppard, Dr. Rev. Tracy Thiem, and Christie Thompson: Your unwavering support, faith, and spiritual communication has truly sweetened my existence. You are my Spirit guides in the flesh.

To my dearest friends Raul Perena and Tony Carito, Thomas Bruce McArthur and his family, Darrah Waters, Paul Thomas, John Bernstein, Dusty Currin, Manuel Lukingan, Ruth and Gary (Seven Centers Yoga), Sandra de Bresser, Joy Ramerez and her family from Pagnasi- nan, Philippines, Dolorous Garside, Al Rise (Geronimo TV), Steve Leon, and Sharon Tate. Also thanks to Steven Ross (The World Research Foundation) and to the St. Vianny's Catholic Church in Sedona.

Thanks to Dan Gordon and Stephan Schultze, who modeled self-discipline and determination and helped me see the rewriting process as an asset rather than a tragedy, and to the 2002 graduating class of the Zaki Gordon Institute for Independent Filmmaking. Also to Dr. D. Wilson (University of Utah School of Social Work, 1994) for making me write all those papers, and to my supervisors and coworkers from the Northern District of California United States Probation Office (1995-1997) ... this is why I had to leave.

Thanks to my gorgeous twin sister, Amy Beth Katz; my not-so-little bro, Bradley Katz; my mother, Nedra Katz; my father, Robert, and his wife, Dotty Katz; Uncle Larry and Lisa Goldfine; Grandma Rose Goldfine; and of course to my son, Manny.

To the staff at Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing, including Ellen Dahl in the art department who designed the stunning cover of this book; my talented editor, Andrea Neff; and charming publicist, Steven Pomije.

Whoever, whatever, wherever, why ever... Thank you for this gift called my life.

Thanks also to Danny (aka Crash) Kohler, a real-life superhero who reminded me that having fun is not just for kids.

PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Within the first week of moving to Sedona, Arizona, and beginning my new career as a professional psychic at the Center for the New Age, I was blessed to find a wonderful woman named Sharon to babysit my infant son. Each morning, I would drop little Manny off at Sharon's home and say hello to her husband, Brian, who was usually slouched over a copy of the Red Rock News, gulping down a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. He was always courteous, but distant. One afternoon, Sharon confided in me that her husband did not believe in psychic phenomena and was convinced that all psychics were frauds. "Please give him a reading to show him that what you do is legitimate," she implored. I replied with a resounding "No."
