Hi,

A few months ago I received a wonderful, sensitive and very insightful reading from eye_of_tiger regarding a question I had about my love life. Once again, I thank you kindly.

I would very much like a general reading at this moment in time as a lot of things have happened to me since then: I took the risk of getting on a plane and going to another country, a good friend of mine died, I am no longer living with the person I lived with, I finished my Master of Arts.

Am I heading in the right direction....?  I feel a lot of things have come to an end and I am still in the stage where I am manifesting the doors that are opening .....

I feel as though my angels are trying to tell me something ...... So that I create the best possible outcome out of this situation as I can see some choices ahead...

So here I am

Many thanks in advance.

Welcome back Natasha,

How is your poetry book coming along? You were living in Toronto Canada when you first registered in July of last year. Do you mind me asking where you moved to? I was very sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Achieving anything important to you in this life necessarily involves taking risks, but often the risk of staying where you are and not being willing to move outside of your personal comfort zone is infinitely greater. If we cannot adapt to a certain amount of change in our lives (although I do not feel that were designed to cope with such large and rapid changes as these), then our future will be looking dim.

I fully intend to give you this general reading within the next 24 - 48 hours, so do not think for a moment that I have forgotten you. It is near the top of my to do list.

I look forward to reading for you again very soon.

Love and Light,

Eye_of_tiger,

How lovely to hear from you again.  I hope that life is treating you kindly and that it is filled with lots of love and sunshine....;)

Yes, the death of my friend was very sudden and unexpected.  I spent Christmas day with him and his parents and the next day I received a phone all that he was found dead in his bed.  He was only 25 and since around the age of 20 suffered from symptoms of schizophrenia and psychosis.  Thank you very much for your sympathies.

I am currently in England (London) and have been since January 23rd. Although I did not move here for good.  At least not for certain.  I do have a return ticket to Toronto for April 6th that I do not know if I will use.  I might stay here (if I can afford it - London is so expensive!) or go to Croatia/Bosnia (where my family is) or some project(s) might take me to Los Angeles.  I guess I am just going step by step for now and playing it by ear.
I applied to London Film School (and got in) and also to New York Film Academy (and got in) for their Filmmaking MFA, but had to defer both because I cannot afford either of them at the moment as the tuition is astronomical, although I really want to go.  I actually went to an exclusive London Film School event (they still let me in, heh) of the screening of a film and Q&A with the director.  But London Film School is not the only reason I am here.  I felt I had to come here to see if something would work out and I am still in the process of finding that out.  

Thanks for asking about my poetry book. The scheduled date for it to come out is in September in Toronto.  My editor is still expecting me to add a few more poems, however.  Other than that, I am very excited and looking forward to it and the book tour very much.

It feels as though a lot of things in my life have come to completion and I am in a kind of in-between place at the moment ........ shifting between feeling excited and free and feeling like I miss the feeling of coziness and comfort.

I really look forward to your reading as the last one was very insightful.

Patiently waiting ;)

Love,

Tasha

Dear Natasha,

I felt that the sheer length of your reply to my questions warranted a separate posting from your actual reading. I was also deeply moved by your honesty and your inner strength which was so evident in what you wrote.

I was humbled to think that with you being less than half my age you are already effectively a citizen of the world. Not quite yet an international jet setter, but you must already have a wealth of life experience to draw upon to inspire you to write your poetry.  

What a terrible tragedy it was for your friend to lose his life at such a young age (the same as your own), and the fact that it happened only up to 24 hours after you were celebrating Christmas with him and did not expect for the moment that it might be the last time you would see him alive, must have at least doubled or tripled the shock when you received that terrible phone call to tell you that he had passed.

Toronto to London. Possibly London to either Croatia/Bosnia, Los Angeles or back to Canada by return ticket in early April, if your finances become exhausted by the ridiculously high cost of living where you are now in the UK. You are making my head spin, as I have not and probably never will leave mainland Australia during my current lifetime (other than a trip to the island state of Tasmania, when I was still a boy).

The internet itself has essentially become my ticket to the planet, and my only way of overcoming the barrier of physical distance which keeps me apart from my friends. It definitely has it's advantages in that I can do this at a reasonable price and do not even need to worry about getting my shots to be able to travel abroad or have to worry about having my luggage lost or stolen in transit.

Short of winning a scholarship or your poetry book making you a rival for J.K. Rowlings (author of the Harry Potter franchise), on the surface it appears that your dreams of ever attending the London Film School or the New York Film Academy are likely to only remain just that (dreams), but my experience has taught me that saying that something will never happen or cannot happen is often premature and self defeating.

You never really know what lies around the next corner or what door is about to open up to you in this life, so to make such a doom and gloom "my life has effectively come to a dead end" prediction is unwise at best, and plain foolish at it's worst.

It would be interesting if we met each other you ten years from now, and could compare notes with the luxury of hindsight as to how things worked out for you in the end, when compared to what you had expected they would. I have seen too many lives turn around in a more positive and productive direction, to permanently rule out the possibility that you will eventually make it to one of those illustrious film schools you mentioned, or an equally reputable institution located somewhere else. If it is meant to happen, somehow and somewhere it will.

It is the nature of life that for a new phase to begin there must often be a spring cleaning or fire sale of our old ways of thinking and doing. You are basically at one of a series of major crossroads in your life up until now, but no matter in which direction you choose to move forwards and never backwards, the outlook for you is looking pretty good from where I am standing. The world is effectively your oyster, if only you can believe enough in yourself to take the risks involved in making your dreams come to life.

But as this forum is mainly reserved for readings, we can always continue this conversation through a PM if you would like, in order to make way for your reading which is very soon to follow this message.

Your Aussie friend,

Natasha,

Looking back at my personal message I realised that I may have already unknowingly answered your question as to whether you are heading in the right direction. As long as the direction is forwards, any of the three paths radiating out from the cross roads at which you are currently standing is the right one for you at this particular moment in time. True the journey you will take along each of these three roads will be significantly different from that on the other two, but who is to say which of the three stands out as being the best one? Actually I believe that your journey will at some stage involve a combination of all three options at different times and in different places.

If you become too focused on the self sabotaging idea that if you happen to choose the wrong path that your life from now on is simply a useless process of treading water until your next incarnation, then this could easily become a self fulfilling prophecy. But your reading is only confirming that none of the three is a wrong one. All of them are right, and each of them individually or in combination with the others leads to the same destination in the end. All roads up the mountainside, no matter how long or winding, ultimately lead to the same top of the mountain or summit? Life is just as much about the journey, as it ever is about it's destination.

The remaining journey ahead of you is both a physical and spiritual one. Your physical journey is at an end when you have reached your destination, but your spiritual journey has no destination or end in time and space. If the time of your death can be thought of your destination in this lifetime, it can be seen as what will make possible the beginning of your journey in the next. Only when time and this physical universe no longer exists will you be able to confidently say that at least this phase of it is now finally over, but even that is not the end.

So I feel based upon your reading that the angels, your Higher Self or your spirit guide or the universe itself is/are telling you to stop worrying so much that you might accidentally ruin the plan upon which your life was set out before you. Use both your mind and heart (logic and intuition) to guide you not so much to the right path, but rather the path which you should try first, second and third in that order. The end of a journey is always the beginning point for another, and another..................and another, moving ever closer towards infinity.

I commend this reading to you as a way of getting an idea ahead of time as to what life experiences may be waiting for you during approximately the next six months. Although it is not predicting any events as such, I feel that the overall trend of the valuable lessons which are to be learned over the coming months is certainly becoming clearer because of it.

Blessings in abundance to you always,
