I wish you good things in life is one of the most powerful blessings we can ever bestow upon anyone. A blessing possesses its own special magic; one of its purposes is to open our hearts and lead us closer to our true "inner self" or soul. Contact with our soul always enhances our perceptions, intuitive and psychic abilities, and our self understanding. This contact helps us discover, befriend, and realize our goals, hopes, and dreams.

The discovery of "self" (Know Thyself was a much quoted dictum of the early Greeks) is an exciting part of the journey we are all taking on the earth at this time, and is not one to be taken lightly. The personality or "little me" as I like to refer to the ego, is accustomed to living amidst uncertainty, confusion, doubts and fear. To fully reach its grand potential and to actualize goals is not something it usually feels confident or comfortable about.

Fortunately, the ego is but one component of our being. If we are dominated by our egos we cannot truly know, feel, and befriend our hopes, goals and dreams. How do we diminish the ego's hold and enter the awesome realm of spirit where dreams, guides, the imagination and angels constantly manifest magic and miracles in our inner lives; the first step to having them manifest in our external everyday physical lives? One means to tap our great potential is to invoke and invite our "Soul" to befriend us. Once we do this we open the door to endless possibilities. The soul's domain is one where dreams do come true because we are not limited to third dimensional restrictions and beliefs. To invoke our soul is to accept that we are not simply citizens of the third dimension. We need not be a victim of the ego's delusions and misconceptions which keep us running around trying to figure out who we are, what we desire, and how to accomplish our goals.

To illustrate this let me share a personal story. To surrender to our "Soul" or "Higher Self" is a very powerful step to set us on the path of healing and success. Several years ago I uttered a short prayer which totally changed my life. At the time I was miserable, angry, confused and felt out of touch with my goals and purpose in life. My prayer went like this: "Oh, my Soul, Teach me. Guide me. Show me the way, my way. Help me to know and realize my dreams. Oh, my soul, my heart to thee do I wed!"

From that day forward something shifted in me. My soul became my mentor and friend. It reinforced my old belief, "If you can dream it, you can achieve it." The soul has resources we cannot even begin to fathom or imagine. It has the ability to lead us to the people and circumstances to help us succeed, to help us heal, and to help us overcome obstacles. "Easy for you to say, Michael, some may say. You are are Psychic, Medium, and channel who spends a lot of time in "La la land. What would you know of hardships and pain?"

"More than you might imagine" is my response. It was through living in a horrible, abusive home that led me to invoke divine intervention when I was a child. The result was an angelic visitation at the age of 13. Never underestimate the power of invoking our soul, our guides, and the beings of Light always available to assist us. No problem or difficulty is too big for them to help us overcome.

But there is a catch, like I state in my book "Halfway to Heaven". We have to invoke and and call out to them before they come to our rescue. "The call compels the response" is another theme in my book which has been validated many times in my life during difficult times. The angel's prediction did come true. I did go to foster homes and to college and later became a writer and spiritual counselor.

Let me offer one more useful exercise to help in "Goal Realization". This is the use of the spoken and written word through positive affirmations. Many spiritual and positive thinking teachers emphasize the power and importance of seeing and focusing in our mind and third eye that which we wish to manifest in our lives. Equally important is to "feel" and "Imagine" our goals as real and actualized. This gives them the final boost in making their descent from the mental plane to the physical earth plane. With practice affirmations work. More and more goals become realized.

In December 2002, I wrote the following affirmation: I, Michael Dennis,have the perfect publisher/editor for my book, "Halfway to Heaven". I accept and give thanks for ample prosperity, joy, and healing which my book provides to me and others. Thank you, Universe, Holy Spirit, God, and my guides.

I said my affirmation out loud several times daily and much more in my mind and constantly thought about it, and saw my book published. Some friends teased me. I even felt silly myself at times, but I was determined and my faith was unshaken. On March 17, 2003 my book was accepted by the publisher Publish America and on September 21st I received my first copy in the mail with a beautiful angel cover to the backdrop of a lovely sunset. Needless to say, I was filled with tears and awe that our guides and angels do truly love and look out for us.

My faith was totally renewed. Many people have wished good things for me in life. I wish good things for you, Dear Reader as well. Remember, If you can dream it, you can achieve it!"
