Dear Andrea,
In the “Ask Vywamus” section of your web page, you shared a reading you did for “Natoya”. Part of the response was “you will need an individual session”. As a student of Janet McClure and Saemmi Muth for many years, Vywamus always said that we “need nothing”. Also, to suggest that an individual session is needed really makes me wonder if you weren’t “advertising for profit” during a “channeled” session.
Looking forward to your reply,
Morgan
Dear Morgan,
You make some important points. I agree we truly “need nothing,” that we and our reality are perfect in every moment, and that when we are able to go deeply within ourselves, all answers are there, and there are not even any questions that need answering. Yet, in our everyday world few of us are always able to access this deep wisdom of our being — or, if we do, our ego comes in and raises doubt, and we sometimes look for “more objective” input to validate our deep knowing.
I believe humanity is evolving a consciousness to include a connection with Spirit that will encompass this deep knowing all the time. Then, a column like “Ask Vywamus” will be redundant. As this happy condition has yet to come about for most of us, we still have columns or web pages like this one for questions, and we still have individual sessions.
In my channeled response from Vywamus to Natoya, the emphasis is on encouraging her and suggesting ways she can access her own inner wisdom and her own connection with Vywamus to answer her question. If she wants more detail and depth than she arrives at by these methods, or by reading this column, then she might in that sense have the “need” of an individual session for additional assistance. That is the spirit in which the word “need” was used here.
As regards individual sessions and readings, there are often times when I think it’s good to consider that option, when you’ve done all you think you can on your own. It’s certainly a different experience than working in the core of your deep Self, and different from receiving a brief answer in this column. In individual sessions, at least when he is working with/through me, Vywamus likes to converse back and forth with someone and help draw out their own inner wisdom as well as offering his own. That requires a more in depth dialogue than I can offer on our “Ask Vywamus” page, especially when specific issues of work, relationships, direction in life, and health are to be addressed in detail.
When you raise the question of self advertising, you refer to Vywamus’s response to Natoya where he says, “For more detailed answers…you would need an individual session.” He made a similar suggestion in a letter to another reader. I acknowledge I did not realize until you pointed it out that the wording might be unclear, or the statement might need elaboration. I’m sure that in these responses Vywamus simply intended to point out, through me, that when dealing with complex life issues, having an individual session could be helpful in getting more depth and detail. This individual session would not necessarily have to be with me channeling Vywamus, or even with Vywamus coming through another channel, it could be with any qualified person. And of course, it would be up to the reader whether to follow through on that suggestion. In my experience, Vywamus is always respectful of a person’s ability to make their own decisions, and while he points out possibilities to try, he never tries to talk anyone into anything, including an individual session. I try to follow his lead.
I do welcome people who want to use my services as a channel, and of course I do advertise myself elsewhere on my web site, that’s one of the reasons I have it. Yet I consider the “Ask Vywamus” page to be a special place on the web site, in a way set aside from the others, and not for advertising. It is not my intention to try to “drum up business” for myself here. Rather, my goal on this page is purely to give Vywamus an avenue to communicate and offer help and support to readers in various ways, and to stimulate interest and discussion among us about the spiritual energies that affect our lives.
I thank you for expressing your concern and alerting me to the inconsistencies. I agree that transparency of our motives is essential and especially in the field of spirituality.
Please write back about this if you wish.
Cordially,
Andrea
