From Skeptic to Believer

Recently we had the young rising star of psychics, Rebecca Rosen, at Mystic Journey Bookstore for a discussion and signing of her National Bestseller, Spirited. 

I may work in a spiritual bookstore but even I have been skeptical of what lays beyond the naked eye.  I want to believe but until I see proof I find it hard to have faith.

I used to look hesitantly at anything to do with spirits or angels or energy sources other then what all matter is made of. I’d seen enough proof to believe that we are all connected through energy but I found it hard to believe there was consciousness in this energy and if so, can it exist beyond our bodies before and after our physical bodies die?

Rebecca Rosen has answered that question for me and made me a believer.
Rebecca’s story was that of a typical twenty-something college student who was going through the day to day struggles of college life and dealing with a dysfunctional family.   Until one day it all changed.

She was in a local bookstore writing in her journal when her pen suddenly became possessed.  Her hand was moving but the words were not her own.  The writer of the words claimed to be her paternal Grandma Babe.  Rebecca ran out of the bookstore thinking she was going crazy. Grandma Babe had given her facts to verify with her father. Hesitantly Rebecca told her father what had happened. After she finished her father stood stunned confirming that only Grandma Babe could know those things.

It took a couple of years of struggling with this new found “gift” until Rebecca finally “let go and let God” and embraced it, finding she could open her mind to all the loving spirits around her. 

The night she came to Mystic Journey Bookstore, she stood in front of a crowded room and looked like a “normal” thirty year old mother of two boys who happened to commune with the dead.

When it was time she literally just closed her eyes, turned up a dial in her higher self and began.

Rebecca Rosen: Does someone know anyone by the initials DN or Donna*? 

Audience member 1: Yes, my mother.

RR: You have her ring.

Audience member 1: (holds up her hand with the ring, shaking)  I always wear it

RR: She’s teasing you about killing plants.

Audience member 1:  She was a horticulturalist but I end up killing plants so now I don’t keep any in my house.

RR:  You lost a child in the womb.  A boy.

Audience Member 1 (hesitates, looking stunned):  Yes.

RR:  He is with your mother.  Oh, does someone know someone by the name of Star.

Audience Member 2 (shaking):  I had a Grandma Star.

RR:  She says she has been bursting your lights or messing with your lights.

Audience Member 2: (crying) Yes, for the past year my lights have been blowing out.

RR: That’s her trying to communicate with you. She says stay on track with what you’re doing 

Audience Member 2 (her face crumbling): Thank you.

RR: Does someone know a man who died of an overdose but could have been perceived as a suicide.

Audience Member 3: Yes.  My son ODed but it was a suicide.

RR:  He is free and happy now.  He loves music and says listen for him through music.

Audience Member 3:  He was a musician.

And Rebecca went on and on always spot on when a spirit communicated through her.  I watched in amazement since I intimately knew Audience Members 1, 2, & 3 and knew their stories and could verify how accurate Rebecca was with all of them.  And there were no frills or hocus pocus, she just turned on a switch and had a direct line in. She sat at the edge of the table as if she were a nurse giving caring advice to a patient.

Now that I was a believer (and I don’t say that lightly!) I was hungry for more.   I picked up her book, Spirited, and began devouring it the next day and it did not disappoint.  It’s just as laid-back and conversational as she is and does not just explain what she has learned from interacting with the spirits that have moved on but it is also a how-to book which gives you the tools to open up your own psyche and live a life guided by those from beyond.

I have begun using her book as a day-to-day guide to open up my intuitive mind and I have already seen a shift in my life.  Little miracles that happen every day that I was not aware of until now.

If you have ever wanted to get closer to the spirit world or just open up your intuition, Rebecca’s book is a must read.  And if you are lucky enough to have her visit your city for a signing and presentation don’t walk, run to her.

I am still getting comfortable with this new belief and trying to put aside any old judgements I have but one thing is for certain, I am no longer a skeptic.
