Do you want to know Everything?
Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 11:42PM Do you want to know everything? Has become a saying of mine over the last few years, that many of you have come to know, but actually for me it's been a saying that I have had forever. Ever since I started my readings I have said it, because you don't know how much people want to know when you give them a reading.
You are dealing with their personal life and it's a hard thing for people to accept that there could be something bad coming or something is looming, but also we have to accept that with out the little bit of pain we cannot accept the love and the good times that come in your life. As they say 'one door closes another one opens'.
I have been thinking about what I ask before a reading over the last few days and I think it's an important question to ask when you ask someone's advice. It's so easy to say to someone... "what do you think about this?"
I have a friend of mine who has always said, that if someone asks the question, then they are ready to know the answer, but are they really? In reality their consciousness may not want to hear it, but the heart and soul may need to hear it. And what your answer may be is often exactly the same as what they know, but actually don't want to face.
It's about choices at the end of the day, and you have a choice on whether you want to know someones opinion. It's not easy...
So you ask yourself and you ponder over... do I want to know or not. Sometimes when someone says to you, do you want to know what I think, they answer all too quickly and say, "Yes" when really they should say, "hmmm I'm not sure let me think about it"
You don't have to rush into hearing someones opinions but what you have to remember is that it's not up to any one else to make a decision, because no one is going to live your life for you, and you have to make the decision. You have to choose for you. You may have heard others opinions, and you may take their reasons and thoughts on board but ultimately the choice is yours, you have to live with it you have to learn from it.
No one can change how you feel. You do what is right for you. You have to really feel what you need. Listen to your heart, listen to your feelings and listen to your soul. Don't hold back and be scared of change, because it has to happen in life for doors to open, for things to flow. But you also have to realise that is you procrastinate or linger and wait, the decision may be taken away from you.
There has always been a song that has always been a huge influence in my life and it's by a band called Beautiful South and it's about a relationship where the man wants time and the woman has allowed it, and then suddenly he's ready to start back, but she has moved on. It's called a "A Little Time". I always have had that song at the back of my mind when I have to make a decision, and the same with my grand fathers saying to me, "Never get to my age and say I regret not doing that!" and you know he was right...
So sometimes when we ask friends for their opinions, only ask if you want to know the truth because they see you in a different way to how you see yourself but also, remember what ever your decision or choice is about, remember if you dilly-dally and wait, the decision or the reward may not be there in the end.
So with that said, 'Do you want to know everything?"
Hugs and love

HI lisa , with most things in life we think we want to know everything only to find out when we have found it out that perhaps we didn't
Sometimes you need to make a choice without knowing everything as it is more beneficial and easier that way - not necessarily for you but the universe, as the more we know the more complicated it can become.
Sometimes it is the opposite and we need the extra information but are to scared to ask for it and as you say eventually the decision is taken from us , as spirit wants you moved along anyway.
I hope you are like the butterfly , unfolding its wings each day , learing to fly , whilst enjoying her bright new beautiful coat
peace and light xx
Fab advise Lisa, thankyou lovely xxxooo
Lots of food for thought.. xx
Advice even?? Lol!!! Grr to spelling!!!
Love that song, it is one of my favourites on the album and so very appropriate - oh and yes I want to know everything for I know that the universe will send me what I need to hear
This is a beautiful blog.
This is the hardest thing to learn. How to know what you really want, and to really follow through with it and not be influenced by other people. You have to make your own decisions because it is your own life, and you have to live it. I have had situations that didnt' turn out right, because of this very thing.
In the end, you have to be true to yourself, and not let other people try to influence you. Sometimes people have undue influence and will bully you into doing what they want you to do.
At the same time, if someone asks your advice, you have to let them know that it is their decision, and they have to live with the consequences. Even if you give them advice, they still have to live with the consequences of their decisions, and it is good to remind them of that.
I guess that's all I have to say, but it was well written, what you wrote. Take care.
Such wise words coming from you, as always. Thanks Lisa! :)

Hi Lisa,
Yes, I want to know everything!
What a fantastic blog! Very inspiring words!
I believe in recent years I have been given plenty of advice from close family and friends only to ignore it or not take it on board 100%. However, a few months down the track, I came to the same realisation as the advice I had previously been given. Sometimes we do need a little push from those close to us. For me personally, I did need that little push - allowed me to have a journey that I really needed to take - during the journey came the understanding that I knew the information I was seeking. I have returned to a person that is enjoying life and "living".
I also think it comes back to your recent blog, "State of mind". We will only hear things when we are ready. We will only move foward when we are ready.
Sending you back (via a hug) all the love and hope you give to everyone.

Hi Lisa
wise words from a very wise woman..... Saw you in Birmingham and have been in awe ever since! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself through this delicate time.
Much love

Dear Lisa,
You are absolutely right. Ultimately any decision we have to make has to be ours entirely. I think what drives us crazy, well me anyway, are the many different angles that one can look at a problem from. I weigh every possibility until I am thoroughly confused. For this reason, I do at times ask advice from family or friends, as maybe they will see the situation from a new perspective and help make things clearer for me. One can also be prone to see things only from one's own perspective instead of seeing it from another's point of view. On the other hand, only you know your true circumstances and how you feel inside, so at the end of the day, the decision still has to be yours, but I do like to feel that I have thought it over thoroughly before making a final decision. It's about knowing all the facts and then taking those into account and then following your heart and then having the strength to carry it through, also bearing in mind, that change makes us stronger and brings wonderful new opportunities into our lives.
As always, you give us plenty to think about.
Huge hugs to you and Charlie,
Jeanette
So true Lisa, and thank you for your introduction to the beautiful music of
"Beautiful Sound". I have purchased some of their music... Just delightful!
Love Julie xx
Hi Lisa,
It is good to get feedback so we can either validate how we feel already, or get insight that we may not have contemplated before. But we have to trust our own instincts and feelings to know what is ultimately right for us and our own unique situation. If you know that change needs to be made, action might as well be taken sooner than later, because we don't know what the future holds for us and we need to pick up and go on to a better life as quickly as possible.
Many of us don't learn until we make memorable mistakes; but all we can do is forgive ourselves and hope to do better from that point on out. We won't do everything right, but we should be good to ourselves first and let our happiness radiate out to others. We have a right to be happy, and no one should be forced into staying in any bad situation, or one that makes their gift of life unbearable.
Lisa, you have gone through such remarkably difficult times, and there were times that could have easily destroyed a less strong person; but you survived magnificently! Not only did you survive, but you grew and turned your misery into a positive attitude of renewed energy and determination! This is truly a story of the cocoon and chrysalis magically breaking open and presenting a glorious butterfly! You had a time of reflection and recovery and now seem to have developed a dynamic renewal of energy, spirit and optimism!
Naturally, there will be times of doubt and fear, but you have already shown what you can accomplish; so believe in you, and keep making your life beautiful! The enlightenment you find will serve as an example for many of us, so we can either avoid some of the hard times, or recover from them in as graceful a manner as you!
Love yourself, be careful, and keep open to knowing everything! You have proved yourself strong enough to deal with it very wisely!
Be well!
Much love, and big hugs!
Cheryl
xxo!
Jeannette Rule brings up an interesting point: "On the other hand, only you know your true circumstances and how you feel inside." To expand that even further, only YOU (the inner you, the subconscious, the Soul) does indeed "know" everything. It is the human mind/ego that is the one wanting answers. So when Lisa asks, Do you want to "know" everything?", in one sense she is asking: Does your human self want to "hear" everything?" Because deep down, we already "know" everything. (That is what I think, and I'm sticking to it. ;-)
Thanks Lisa for jogging these thoughts.
Hey there Lisa,
Very wise blog and so true!
Beautiful song that I lived...only I can relate to the man as this has been the story of my life. Freedom sure does come at a high price. I can appreciate the advice and opinions of others, but you do have to be the one that makes the ultimate decision as this is your life...so so true.
If I had listened to some of the opinions of others, I would have lived a life of misery, regrets, and lies. On the other hand, if I had not listened to some who were looking out for me, I could have lived a life of misery. Great advice! As your wise grandfather says, live with no regrets.
Love and Hugs to you,
DS
I think Jeanette is so right....I look at things from everyones point of view......someone said to me I ought to be a diplomat!! But it's true...the more I delve deeper into the core of the decision or problem the more difficult the deciding becomes!! I thought I had made some humongous wrong turns in my life but funnily enough they led me here....when I look back, if it was'nt for this certain thing that happened or that....I would still be stuck in that awful rut of a mundane job I hated, people around who liked me being the poor relation, single parent....the list goes on, but all brought on by ME!!! Then the light sort of switched on and I decided that the life I lived was'nt what I wanted....the Universe has an abundance of love out there so I went for it - found it - and now Iam living it....
Iam not rich but I have found richness in new friends....new ideals and new interests.
But I had to experience another life first to have been able to appreciate the life I have now....was it worth it? Oh yes....

Hi Lisa,
A few weeks ago I saw your program on television and well I have to be honest I was then and in a way still a skeptic. However, I do admire your compassion and warmth that you radiate whilst doing your job, helping folk come to terms with loss etc. Anyway, the real reason why I am posting this comment, well some (probably everyone) will find this crazy, but I have been fighting against what the “universe” I think, wants me to accomplish here, I still don’t know and at times it frustrates me. I’ve tried distancing myself from this but every time something brings me back here…. So I decided to go with the flow and just see what happens and hopefully these strange sensations in my gut will subside finally (LOL and no it ain’t gas I know this feeling all to well…) Since watching your program in November of last year, I had 3 dreams about you, your husband and son. Well yes I saw you guys on television, maybe left an impression on my subconscious etc but to some extend they were prophetic in nature, especially dreams 2 and 3. Anyway the underlying messages of these dreams were those of me helping you guys, being supportive, almost like a mother hen figure, which sounded utterly ridiculous at the time, first of all I’m 26 (LOL?) and secondly I don’t know you or anyone even vaguely associated with you so how can I be of any help to you? According to your blogs, and their subsequent comments on this site, you are doing OK; you have a stable and loving support system at home, tens of thousands of fans from across the world who’s gaga over you, who’ve enveloped you with their love and support so you’re set. Then I realized that we are all connected…. Whether you’re living in Los Angeles or living in some slum somewhere in the world…it doesn’t matter because were equal…we are like a chain holding hands and when 1 falls down we should pull our weight to bring them back up again. And we shouldn’t do it because of duty but unconditional love. We learn, we get stronger, it brings us closer together. Although we will never meet, I want you to know that I care, there’s nothing significant I can give you but my support. I don’t know how it feels what you’re going through but eventually this too will pass…
Ok well good luck with all your endeavors and be blessed.
Dear Lisa
I have always thought that your question "Do you want to know everything?" is one of the bravest questions, needing one of the bravest answers there is. And as your catchphrase I think it speaks volumes about the depth of your work, which is what fascinated ma about you from the start. As an Astrologer, I'd say it was a question inspired by Pluto, the depth of self-knowledge.
Your integrity in your life and work has always been on the cutting edge of this question, and that is what makes it so worthwhile (and breathtaking) watching your progress, and gives your work an amazing depth.
Thank you for being You,
Love
Lana
i second ur opinion jeannette! u always say d right thing!
ALWAYS

Bonjour Lisa,
This is a blog that makes you think...should i have to know or not??
Time is the key for eveything in Life. Ultimately our Main Spirit (called it Higherself, Double, etc..) knows everything, got all the answers. But we are Spirits living a Human experience...and Timing is always there to remind us that we have to know what we have to know when we really need it.
If we ask a question we will always get an answer in Time. It may come from a person, a sign, a tought, a voice inside our head, a dream...a ''coincidence''..
I think the question is, what do we do when we get the answer?
How do we react with it? What we do with it?
A ''good'' or ''bad'' answer should always get ourselves back in the right track and getting us moving forward even if sometimes it may hurts..
That's Life! ;0)
Bonne journée Lisa!

HI Lisa - Thank you for your blog and your words of wisdom. Some days I do want to know more than I know now... meaning if I did things differently how would things change... Honestly, it is my heart and the mother in me that longs to know know and learn all that I can. As my heart longs for answers, I merely make the best of all things as they come, and know in time the answers will come...
Lisa, It is a blessing that God has blessed us with people with gifts like yours. You have comforted so many people and have accomplished so much. All I can say is you are A BLESSING! Thank you for every minute you put into your work and for helping alll those who reach out to you... Really, you are a shooting star for many!
Your are loved Lisa!! May you and your family forever walk in beauty!

Hi again to everyone,
I just wanted to say something regarding the children that we raise, and giving them the opportunity to make informed choices. I am in a situation where my daughter and I have different belief systems, so I have had to ask myself the question, as a grandmother, if my grandchildren ask me a question about my beliefs, should I be honest with them or tell them what their mother would like me to say. I have made a decision to be totally honest with them, for the simple reason, that I believe, the more options they have to build their own belief system on, the more wise their choices will be in the future. I totally respect Donna's beliefs and ensure that the children understand that, but I also tell them that there are many ways of looking at life and that one way is not necessarily wrong and another right, just different. I believe there are many paths to Heaven, as long as our intentions are pure. I feel it is so important not to indoctrinate our children with only one belief system. They should be free to make their own choices based on as much knowledge as possible. I have one grandson in particular who seems to look at things in a very wise, knowing way, and I encourage him to embrace his curiosity and read and learn as much as possible.
I think it is so important to teach our children well. It is the best legacy we can leave behind.
It is awesome to have this platform that Lisa has created for us so that we can learn and grow every day, no matter our age... thank you Lisa, you are a very special human being.
Blessings,
Jeanette
Excellent advise LIsa! I have had some valable lessons with this one. And even lost a friend once for getting "too close" to their core issues.
I remembered a while back a very close friend had the courage to tell me the truth about my "self pity". At the time I didn't get it how I did it but she caught me in the act and found the courage to tell me. I was so angry at her ! Ha! But I finally came around and saw her wisdom and learned about myself at much deeper levels. It was the resentment I felt for her that I found alarming.
Then a few years later I had that done to me..as I advised a friend (they asked) then to learn of their hurt and resentment towards me which was how I felt towards my friend. But sadly they have never come around. So lesson learned?! I hope so!
Do you want to know everything...And is it really my business to tell you what I think of you??? I remember someone once said "what you think of me is none of my business" Ha!
Much Love,
Andrea
Top of the Morning to you Lovely Lisa,
Hope you are having a good Sunday and snuggles with S. Charlie. ❦
YES...I ALWAYS want to know everything!!! "Too much, for too Many can be Too whirling." If one is sensative.
I do indeed want to know Everything.
Knowing all, when one is not 100% sure of the "right time" being a "time frame" & "Location" = Major factor..(fake ones observing) lurkers you might say, who is feeding someone close...her thoughts to someone close to me... too much to put down here :)
YES I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING EXACTLY. So, then that is when anyone or I, can "choose and make choices"..so I do not "look back" and wonder..*
A piano has to be tuned before you can play it correctly. Even the snare drum rim has to be adjusted to the correct tension, before the drummer plays his set of drums, so they sounds bright.
If one "did not care so much" or shallow; they or I would NOT care. Decisions would be easier. I care A lot but sometimes- someone can say or think "she is a bitch"...or heartless. I'm sorry they think that. Or, I could say "get a number and stand in line." Which is the comical side of me. Which I prefer. ha ha
I would love to do stand up comedy one time, or go on the Ellen Degeneres Show, and do a comedy Routine on my life, and I know it's about to change in ways. Not clear enough though.
If I thought, I was High or wise enough, I would not need to go to certain ones to ask. Plus, I am in the sphere, but not as "in heightened/enlightened" YET!! I'm not afraid to ask. I want to know, I want to learn, I want to grow. I don't want to waste anymore time. But I must be Wise and Knowledgeable first.
Thank you for your written thought to everyone. I will have to pull up that song on youtube "A little time."
You have a blessed peaceful day and hugs to you and Charlie.
Shortly, I am off to get my new camera, that I dropped at your last show for 09. We all had camera issue's here~
Yeah...a new Camera!! ;-))
hugs & love,
ooo
Hello Lisa,
Well, it's good to see you'll be making a stop in Toledo, Ohio on January 29. I've got my ticket and am bringing my older son in hopes that his brother, father and others might pop in to say hello! I know that it will benefit him greatly. (fingers crossed!)
I haven't been on the boards much but check in from time to time.
Thank-you for coming later in January and if you can use my help with anything at all while here please feel free to email me.
Love you Lady -
Cecelia xx
