Psychic Mind: The Psychic & Divine Mother

PSYCHIC MIND, THE PSYCHIC & DIVINE MOTHER                                       
by Richard Lee Van Der Voort, M.A.

The inner life of a true psychic is a reality that offers dimensions rational people rarely experience. It is the world of the extra-rational, that which lies below or beyond the pragmatic surface of human mind. Once it is developed and put to use, the psychic attracts experience that transcends the norm, and is extremely soul-satisfying. Such a dimension is sometimes referred to as the supra-normal, but I contend that though highly subjective and results from opening to the Receptive or Inner Feminine Principle, it is as normal as everyday logic and reason which are, according to Carl Jung, expressions of our Inner Masculine Principle. Yin and Yang. Female and Male. Right hand and left hand in co-operation. A team!

During my long career as a professional touring psychic, lecturer and media personality, I was sponsored my initial trip to Mexico City by a wealthy woman who introduced me to many clients. One lady I was taken to, the wife of an important businessman, used a British translator for her private psychic consultation even though her English was fairly good. As part of my work offering psychic counseling, I also acted as a healing agent for an inner plane group of healers focused in the Spirit World. They worked through me as a vehicle to heal or help certain physical disabilities.

After the psychic session was completed, I asked if she would have her nine year old daughter brought in to experiment with a healing of the girl’s all-but useless left arm. It had sustained no injury, but simply went out of use. She was a beautiful child, but her left arm hung limply at her side, useless. It had not atrophied, however, and looked quite normal. I proceeded to lay hands, invoke my healers in the name of the Master healer, Jesus the Christ, and pray that the body under my hand would be made whole and function normally. After a period of time, I indicated that she lift her lifeless arm. She understood and slowly, with considerable effort, raised that little arm almost parallel to the floor! It was a first for her as her mother looked on and cried. Divine intervention had succeeded, at least up to a point. During another visit later that trip, she was able to raise her arm even higher. My psychic channel told the child’s mother that the healing forces would continue to work with her in my absence. And they did, eventually making the girl’s arm normal and functional again.

At the end of my first visit to that lovely lady performing my psychic talent in two ways, she asked if I’d like to see her gallery of paintings. Down a long narrow hallway perhaps fifty framed works hung on either wall. It was an impressive sight, but at one point I stood in awe. “What is that?” I asked. The woman probably thought it strange that I was not acquainted with the Virgen de Guadalupe, the Mexican expression of Divine Mother in Spanish Roman Catholicism. Beholding that potent form, I began to cry. Why I did not know. At the time I had not yet experienced visions of a past life I’d experienced in ancient Mexico during the time of the Conquistadores. Nor did I know the classic story of the little Indian boy who received the vision and manifestation of the Virgen de Guadalupe. That all came later. But the painting, a print, had a profound effect on the inner me. It woke in me something deeply spiritual, something perhaps that I’d once known long ago and had lain dormant in consciousness. Seeing me in such a state, the lady reached up and took the painting off the wall and handed it to me. It was large and heavy in its ornate wooden frame, and at the time I didn’t know that it was merely a print one could buy on the street for $15, but the monetary worth was beside the point. Its spiritual value was enormous. I knew she’d given it to me as an act of gratitude for helping her little daughter.

I took my new prized possession back home with me to Houston and during one elongated period, used it in psychic meditation. While gazing at the beatific form, I chanted a chant that I made up, “Om Madre Divina Om”, over and over as I deepened in meditative consciousness. Always the same I experienced a potent peace that made me feel spiritually whole, psychically balanced and perfectly integrated. I felt at-one with the Divine Her, Divine Mother in the form of the Virgen de Gualdalupe. And, miraculously, on two separate occasions, she turned her head, opened her eyes, and looked at me! Even though a highly subjective experience while in a deep state of altered consciousness, it was REAL, and I knew that She had blessed me. I was honored that Divine Mother acknowledged my being.

Whether Divine mother shows Herself as Mary, mother of the Christ child Jesus, or as Quan Yin in the ancient lore of China, I am convinced that the continuing active presence of Divine Mother is a spiritual reality and force that intends the healing of the world. From time to time, She manifests, whether among clouds in a bright summer sky for any and all with eyes to see, or as a vision in the mind or self of some psychic visionary. She is, I strongly believe, a potent force for good and God in an extremely troubled world. Spiritual cults, Divine Mother devotees loosely tied to Roman Catholicism, have grown up to honor Her eternal presence. Divine Mother, in whatever form or culture, is a reality that blesses my work and being every day. Of that I am certain.
