The ghosthunting adventures of yours truly is off and on. My last group folded, and Heather and I do house cases only. Our group/class that we teach meets seldom, though we're planning another class soon, with mostly new members. Heather is employed by my friend Patrick, who used to be my teacher in certain spirit-release techniques. They do over the phone psychic work, helping people across the world, anything from demonic activity to the inability to let go of childhood issues. Any problem whatsoever they can fix it. She gets paid decent money, and that's her primary focus for now. In this span, she's grown extremely powerful. Our particular spiritual paths have diverged, and now I am merely an advisor, driver and occasional energy provider. We're so not peers any longer, and any activity that she tells me about, it's mostly because she needs a ride or doesn't want to go alone. My contributions as a spirital co-leader are minimal and mostly unnecessary.
So I've been developing on my own. Reading on my own. Pursuing my own studies, advancing my own abilities. It really shows that our skill sets are different, our training different. When we meet with clients, she does all the heavy lifting, and I just help articulate the procedures to the client. Just the PR guy. But there are times I'm not needed for that. Heather's really getting noticed, and recognized for her unique mediumship abilities that have no peer. And I'm her friend. She gets paid decently through her various services. I just ask for gas money. Like, last night, she removed a curse from a family line. I helped provide energy. The client paid her $440. My cut was $20. She did 95% of the work, took all the risks, did all the research, and her ability to see things no one else can see makes her role in this central.
If and when she ever gets a car, she won't need me at all, especially since our mutual friend, Rachel, is moving back to town this week. Rachel and her have been getting real close, and they're going to be roommates. Rachel has been developing strongly on her own, and through Heather's guidance. I'm really not going to be needed soon enough.
I'm a little hurt by this development, but not really. My contributions to her issues have been minimal for the past year, and she doesn't turn to me with spiritual problems anymore, so I've gotten used to being independent for a little while. The vector of our friendship will be redefined soon enough, and it's inevitable. Truth is, I put up with Heather's myriad of dramas just in the hopes it got around to talks of ghosts, or UFOs or divinity or whatever. If those topics aren't brought up, that leaves only the drama, which I'm completely indifferent about.
Part of me is hoping that her new living arrangement of living with two roommates will involve her needing me less, and our talks getting more infrequent. Unless we're working together on paranormal activities, I don't necessary need to hear about her annoying family/friends/boss/boyfriends/roommates.
We're best friends, but we are drifting apart, due to networking, interests and development levels. The time has come to shelve what we've built together, and let her go, and also time to discover something new for myself. I need to join more meetup groups, put myself out there, find out what speaks to me as of 2014. I've been a ghosthunter for about 7 years. I've been a psychic development instructor for a few. The partnership of Heather and I is coming to an end, and I need to find a new direction, for I have been dragging on her coattails as she gets discovered, and her ability and recognition gets me invited places, but this is not for any service or acknowledgement that I put out there. It's time I make my own way, even if it's less noteworthy.
I haven't been excited about much for some time now. That needs to change.
