What do we mean by this term? How is it different for each one of us? How can we understand the subject of spiritual development a little better? I will begin by talking about how I came to begin my journey into greater spiritual enlightenment. Unlike many mediums, I was not aware of spirit when I was a child, or at least I am not aware of being aware of spirit. I am told that I had imaginary friends when very young, which can sometimes be an indication that a child is talking to spirit children, but I don’t remember much about this at all. I always knew that I was a little bit different to the other children around me; more sensitive, even over-sensitive, and easily distracted into entering a dream-like state of mind. I used to get accused of daydreaming a lot when I was at school but I now believe this was a symptom of a spiritually inquisitive mind that was somehow dissatisfied with only learning about earthly matters. So, other than having an interest in ghosts and the supernatural as many children do, I led a very ordinary life, following my pursuits of art, dancing, music and drama. It was not until I lost a very close relative, my grandmother, in 2003, that things really started happening for me. In the fact, one of the first phrases I identified as coming from spirit was ‘spiritual development’. It was not long after my Gran had passed to spirit; I was driving down the same stretch of road that I had driven down daily to see her in hospital the previous week when she had been taken ill with a heart attack. As I was driving along, my mind started to drift and I felt her presence as, bizarrely, a very large head in my front windscreen, just hovering there. I chatted to her, asking her how things were for her now and she replied with a few words about herself and what she was experiencing; then I caught the phrase ‘spiritual development’ before she drifted away again. For months I puzzled over the meaning of this phrase as, at that time, I was not really interested in spiritualism or anything along those lines. I even typed the phrase in on an internet search engine, hoping to get some kind of enlightenment about its meaning for me as I knew this message was very significant for me. It was not until much later that I realised that my Gran was telling me about the most significant journey that I would be taking in the future years. So, for me, the phrase ‘spiritual development’ has special significance. Sometimes it makes me laugh thinking about the whole incident; trust Granny to spell it out to me in no uncertain terms, giving me a jolt into action to help me along my spiritual pathway. Page 2
