      Warnings

      • Don't make this a parlour game! This is a serious, spiritual undertaking, and it is not to be used to entertain friends or impress. Any ego attachment here could lead to misinformation and costs to your spiritual development.
      • Ask questions with heart and meaning for you, not for someone else. Don't do this for anyone but yourself. If you do it for anyone else, others may take your spiritual messages to heart and make decisions that could affect their whole lives.
