miss*R ~ angel intuitive
so today is Thursday and this is another kind of down in the doldrums post - hope it will be my last. Yesterday, I had to have another trip to the dentist as a filling on the other side of my mouth fell out - another hour in the chair with my mouth open and two needles did not make me a happy gal. I am finding life very draining this week, I can't create a thing and I cannot find the strength to pull myself out of it. so much for my angel intuitiveness. I am beginning to think that God dumps us here and says - 'see you in a lifetime - try your hardest, you are on your OWN!' I do hope I am wrong.
so :
yes, I am now a certified angel intuitive - Doreen Virute accredited. I now have letters after my name and a certificate to prove it. woopee doo.
How do I post about this without sounding ungrateful or negative? I hope I can - so here goes.
I am glad that I went - I want to eventually hold angel & faery worshops here at my home and with the Doreen Virtue name after it - I am sure I will be successful. I want to bring angels and faeries to lots of people, to help them find that they do indeed have help in other realms - it is all there for the asking. So now I can officially do that. without any expensive cost to anyone. that to me is what it is all about.
The place where I stayed was wonderful - BUT I feel that there were just way too many people at the workshop. 800 people is alot. 3 days with 800 people does not do my aura alot of good, nor does it do my chakras alot of good. I did learn quite abit and I did get a message from my angels to 'take what I need' from the course. At times, like I said I thought I was caught up in a religious cult - we had to stand and sing & clap our hands and yell out affirmations - which does not sit well with me at all. But I did it and just rolled my eyes to myself. I chuckled to myself. I am sure that Doreen Virtue is sincere but she is surrounded by minders and there is alot of hype and it is all very commercial. Quite often during the course - she would do advertising for her CD's and books. which annoyed the hell out of me. There were noi notes given out, we were told that the information is in such & such a book and it is available at the book store.

I even lined up to have a book signed and she didn't even look at me - she was talking to one of her minders and just signed her name without looking at me or the book. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
so that is it in a nutshell - I am sad to say.

Good for you Ms*R! What are the letters after your name, I'm dying to know. Sounds like fun. I'm happy for you. Sorry it was a tad commercial though. I hear ya. That can put a damper on things. xo
I hear what you are saying, I sometimes think that the people themselves have started sincere but when they become a business it sometimes ends up all about money and sales. The group affirmations and shouting is definitely not my scene at all, you know I am a loner in my rituals. You are right take what you need from the course and drop the dross. Although I think that is really off not even looking at you when signing your book. I went to see Hugh Fearnley-Whittenstall [River Cottage] cook and queued to have a book signed, he asked everyone their name and put a little personal comment when he signed, something as simple as 'enjoy the cooking'. I treasure that book.
So sorry to hear your weeekend was not what you had hoped it would be. But maybe it will help you in your angel and faery workshops anyway.
you needed to experience that just so you never wondered what you may have missed not going. It's a very unfortunate thing when the message someone is trying to convey gets buried beneath crass commercialism. (and I don't like the atmosphere you described either)I am sorry it turned out as it did but it does sound like you got a little something from it anyway.
You know Robyn, these feeling we all have, the things we talk about in relation to them may seem like down in the doldrums posts....but the fact is to just say it is a release in itself. It's all going to be ok, just like it will be for me and we will post happy, peppy things!
XOXO
Too bad about the singing and hand clapping stuff. Not my scene. I prefer the quiet contemplative approach.It sounds like you got from it what you needed, that's the important thing, write the rest off to experience.
Disappointing that she was so detatched though, thats a whole post all by itself.
I had to giggle just a little bit over the God dumping us and saying "see ya in a lifetime." It does feel that way at times, doesn't it? I would not like the rah rah rah stuff either...and can't really imagine angels enjoying it much. I'm sorry it was a let down but I bet over time you'll realize you received things you hadn't even noticed! That will be awesome.
You wanna know something , Miss Robyn?...I know EXACTLY what you mean!!!!! I have attended a couple of similiar events and left feeling the same way you do! I wonder how all the other attendees felt??/!!!!
Honey, I'm sorry it turned out that way. I was hoping I was wrong, but now you know why I don't care for her.
Now -- God doesn't say "You're on your own for this lifetime." God says, "You must do it by yourself for it to mean anything. That's why I've given you free will. Having done that, I can't intefere, now can I? But I'm here should you want to talk, get advice or illumination."
So sorry to hear your weekend wasn't what you expected. I think sometimes people get "famous" and forget what's important. They get caught up in money and fame and then it all turns to crap. But if you were able to walk away with something positive that's what matters.
Hi sweetie
I am so sorry to hear that your weekend did not turn out the way you had hoped. Personally I think that 800 people is WAY too many for this kind of course. And, I think it is terrible that Doreen didn't even acknowledge you(it doesn't say much for her).
However, I know you will take from this course what you are meant to take from this course. And you will help many people.
I hope your Sophie is starting to feel better and you are feeling much better now you are home. And away from the crowds.
You have all the tools for a happy life Robyn and are exactly where you are meant to be (reaching out to others with your love and compassion).
Much, much love
Dotee xoxo
Dear Down in the Doldrums,
Oh my. That conference sounds horrific. I am repelled by commercial, money sharks masquerading as spiritual leaders. Quite honestly I no longer seek out the big names. I get my learning for free from my cat, from the dogs on the farm, from neighborhood children, from "mentally ill" people, from elders. If I listen deeply enough, it's all there.
Whoops, I am a hypocrite. I am following Sonia Choquette's book in the blogging circle.
Don't ever worry about sounding negative. Your glorious happiness posts would be meaningless without some nitty gritty posts like this one.
PS: interesting that your post started and ended with allusions to the mouth (dentist and bad taste in mouth). I think that's one of the chakras.
PPS: It made me laugh to think of you surrounded by people shouting affirmations. I could see you rolling your eyes.
Good God Robyn!!!
Fancy Doreen Virtue behaving like that, although you know, I was looking at her books in the bookstore the other day, and it crossed my mind that she does just churn out the same old stuff, but with different titles.Money talks I guess! but hey you are a good spiritual Lady, and you dont need DV to help you talk to your Angels! hope your mouth is a bit better xx
Too bad it wasn't the experience you hoped it would be but as you said take away what you need and like from it.
I am sorry that Doreen Virtue was a disappointment, not what I would have expected either.
But you don't need all that whopp~de~do to be the angel you already are to so many.
I am sure you can take all the good things that you learned last weekend and put a side all that you did not care for. And put your style in to it and have a good class.
