Socrates Sometimes we don’t know where to start when we’re hit with life’s most challenging experiences, especially when we are caught by surprise: a cancer diagnosis, a loved one’s death, a desperately sad event, or circumstance that takes us to the pit of despair. We blunder into it and, if we’re lucky, when we reach the end of it, we find a beginning. We start again — a new pathway forward, equally filled with joy or challenge, and made easier by what has gone before. There is confusion about our pathway forward at first, but there can also be crystal clarity on the big questions: why we are here, what have we to learn and how are we to live, really live, with purpose. Not only is this my experience of cancer; it’s also my journey to spiritual awakening. As I sit here in the evening light, with the gentle warm glow of a setting sun, and the breeze at my cheek, I recall a friend saying “there is no but, just and.” It’s about learning at the end of any day; and when darkness begins to fall, remembering our earned wisdom so we can face the future without fear — and more than that, face the future with anticipated joy. The biggest lesson I had from my life and death struggles is knowing that we go on after death; to an afterlife that is infinitely and indescribably more brilliant than our earthly life. Even though there is beauty at our fingertips and wisdom too, and glimpses of heaven on earth, it is nothing in comparison to what awaits us in death/rebirth. As I type these words a gentle orb hovers around my computer, a spirit energy, telling me that I must continue to write this book, and reminding me that I am a conduit between this life and the next. I didn’t plan for this other-worldly existence, far from the corporate world I built my long career within. In fact, I never imagined that I’d be known as Maryann from Revealing Light… spiritual mentor, astrologer and card reader, teacher, and counselor, intuitive, medium, and clairvoyant. This, after 30 years in a fast-paced orthodox career, often at managerial and mentoring level, working for government and business. There are lessons in adversity and in change, and one of the biggest for me has been self-nurturing, boundaries, and the wisdom to say “no,” but that is for later in this book. These days I am not that manager working across the government and business worlds. I am now known across multiple spiritual social media channels as Maryann from Revealing Light — Tarot, Astrology & Spirituality. When I began my spiritual counseling, I had no idea that my connection with the spirit realm would be so real as to be visible to my viewers. Orbs and EPVs are common in the many videos I make on my spiritual social media platforms. I am busy running them these days — long gone are the black suits and white business shirts. These days it’s a desk full of crystals, cards, pendulums, astrology charts, dowsing rods and even a crystal ball. Now, I am variously known on YouTube and other social media platforms, for the many times spirit shows up in the form of an orb, a faery like spirit, or a strange, muffled voice on my video’s audio. Sometimes the orbs are round balls of light, shooting across the screen; other times wisps of vapor drifting around me or a light with visible wings. Often, they will dart out from behind me, from my cards as I draw them for my audience and continue to dance in the light of the balcony door behind me. They seem to know when my audience needs a lift or validation. They seem to know when I need a lift and validation. Like many of my dear viewers, death and tragedy, ill health, and pain, have visited far too often in my life. As I channel, they lend their quiet strength, their playfulness and, most of all, their light. People ask me, “what are the orbs in your video?” I answer to the best of my ability: “They are spiritual energy from the angelic realm; also, my passed over loved ones visiting and helping me on my way, and, sometimes, faery like energy with wings; just as they are here tonight as I write this spiritual memoir.” I can feel my late mother’s insistence that I write this book; draw it all together. The cancer journey, the manifestations of spirit in my life, the experiences that we share — you the reader, and I — the channelings and the clairvoyance because these are the gifts that have been present since childhood, not fully understood then and, post-cancer, clearly understood and valued. I believe we underestimate this part of ourselves, this spirituality, and when we become aware of it, we nurture it and seek to understand and connect with it. When we do this, we find a richness that is beyond anything this earth can offer. As a young girl, the fifth child in a Catholic family of six children — and the fourth girl behind many “spares,” I struggled with my voice. I had so many to speak for me and I wasn’t conscious of who I was, where I came from and where I was to go. Looking back on it now, I can see that I grew up with an identity crisis that lasted decades. Internally, despite my lack of self-awareness, there was a small and rebellious voice that I was part of something infinitely bigger than myself — knowing that God or whatever you want to call Spirit, was real and very close. I remember, plenty of vivid dreams, and feelings that there were “others” not of this world close by. I saw them clairvoyantly, sometimes vivid pictures like a movie roll and, at other times, impressions like a stamp might leave on a piece of paper within my third eye. So near, as though I could reach out and touch them and, at the same time, far, far away as if in another world. As a result of sensing Spirit around me (though I couldn’t explain what I felt or saw then), and being sensitive to other people’s thoughts and moods, I put my focus on animals and nature and it did not, and doesn’t, disappoint. I had the luxury of growing up on a farm, rolling green fields, misty blue horizons in winter and orange sunsets and the smell of stubbled wheat fields in summer. I remember being about 12 years of age and, after mustering sheep, stopping on the side of the hill. I’m not sure what happened but I became conscious of the vastness of the sky and the wind about me. I was given the thought, it was a conviction that struck at my core, “know thyself” followed by two thoughts. In knowing yourself, you will know others; and in knowing yourself you will be able to help others. I took these thoughts, or profound messages, and they became beliefs that I would follow over the years, either through often brutal self-reflection or service to others, and a constant searching and learning about spiritualism. Still, I was without that essential ingredient that may have saved me from sadness and much loss. I had neglected to “help myself” or, at the very worst, been misguided about my own needs. And there it is. This unconsciousness that retards true spiritual growth and freedom because it’s only when we recognize that we are here in service to ourselves as much as to others, that we heal and find our true purpose. You cannot be authentic, strong, and powerful if you’ve left half of yourself behind. Later, when I was much older and had completed many years of study, I know that Socrates said, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” And the Oracle of Delphi also urges us to Know thyself. Socrates in his infinite wisdom takes it further: Know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves. If only I had recognized that to help others, I must first learn how to help (and heal) myself. For 52 years, I didn’t fully understand this task and, therefore, failed at real authenticity. I discovered so much post-cancer, including that inner authenticity is not something that others give you; it is the gift, the reward, and the earned wisdom, that you give to yourself. And, so, where to begin, dear reader. I must start at the beginning of real awareness, and that came at the time of my cancer diagnosis. It was the catalyst to my spiritual growth and, at long last, the real opening up of my spiritual gifts. First, though, I had to learn to care for, and about, myself.
