Contents

Other loved Ones... on Earth
and on the Other Side

T here have been so many self-help books for relationships written over the years, on topics ranging from how to have a better sex life to how to stay married and even how to get a friendly divorce. Yet I havent seen a single volume on how to have a spiritual relationship with the different people in our lives. Nor have I seen any that approach our lives from our own charts learning processes. Consequently, in SpiritualConnections, Ive chosen to incorporate some of my own experiences, my years of doing readings, and how our life themes dictate the types of relationships we have.

You meet countless people in a lifetime (or many lifetimes), and this book will explain how each one has an effect on your life. You see, when you wrote your chart before you came into this life, you documented every detail about every encounter... no matter how fleeting, aggravating, or toxic it may have seemed. So in this book, Ill take you through each relationshipfrom family, friends, and lovers to enemies, co-workers, schoolmates, and even Godthat creates a ladder to your evolvement. I assure you that youll never look at other people (and life) in the same way again.

Yes, there are those who will try your patience, but the lessons they give you actually light your way, making it easier for you to get through this lifetime and to the Other Side. Each individual you encounter is like a stepping-stone... its how you handle him or her that determines your advancement. Ive even said at lectures that people make us sick or they can make us well... but we can always learn something.

In the pages that follow, Ill illuminate just how youre connecting spiritually to each and every person you encounter. In Part I, Ill skim over all of the relationships most of us have so you can see just how many souls youre interacting with on a daily basis. (And Ill offer you a few tidbits of advice that Ive picked up over the years, which should help you deal with these individuals.) Then in Part II, Ill look closely at the life themes each of us possesses, in order to help you understand why some relationships have been great for you while others have not.

So roll up your sleeves, take the plunge, and get ready to tackle this lifes complicated puzzle. In the process, I hope youll see that, like many of the things weve made so hard, its actually quite simple spiritually.

THOSE WE ENCOUNTER
FROM DAY TO DAY

I d like to begin this book by focusing on those people whom you might not consider important, yet who do factor in much of your day-to-day existence. I call these individuals our dear facilitators. These include people such as your mechanic, manicurist, barber or hairdresser, butcher, favorite waitress or mitre d, travel agent, taxi or limo driver, gardener, plumber, painter, pest-control person, service technician, postal carrier, bank teller, housekeeper, grocery clerk, doctor, dentist, and many more who help out in your life. Dont forget the chimney sweep, veterinarian, dog groomer, jeweler... and on and on it goes. All of these individuals make your life easier and are too often taken for granted.

Even if you cant personally relate to the people Im about to describe, hopefully youll be able to identify with some of the souls who cross
