Who am I?
My name is Edith Bertrand. I live in Doesburg, the Netherlands, and accidentally ended up in the world of subtle energies. 😉
About me
In the Netherlands there is a proverb that says, ‘Through hardship and shame comes wisdom.’ I haven't quite reached that level of wisdom yet, but I certainly fit the first part of the proverb. As a spiritual guide once told me: “You've done it the hard way.” It doesn't matter. In the end all paths in life lead to inner growth. It may just take a while, longer for some than for others. And I'm talking of course about many lifetimes here. In any case, I have already learned a bit of wisdom. I notice this because my life has become much easier over the years. Ease, my guides have taught me, is part of life. Because life is easy, they teach me. So if it's not easy, then that's a good time to ask yourself: ‘What am I doing? What am I not doing right?’ My life was downright unbearable. So you understand that it took a lot to achieve a sense of ease.
Recently I have started a new phase in my life since I live alone. Nature beings play an important role in this phase. They came into my life quite late.
My path
I knew that everything was alive. I remember my surprise when I was in my early twenties and the philosophy teacher told us that there was living and dead matter. I thought: “What nonsense, dead matter. That's impossible. Everything is alive.” But over the years I lost that awareness. I started thinking like other people thought. Now my own thinking is coming back. I am very happy about that.
I’ve learned to tell my car where I am going. It likes that. I have also learned from Ferry and Margrete to give nature beings some honey, tobacco, red wine, or chocolate. They seem to love all kinds of sweets. Slowly but surely I can sense this better. When I suddenly had to buy a new vacuum cleaner because the old one broke down, I felt that the new one would rather not be tucked away in the low closet where the old one always was. That's why the new vacuum cleaner is under the guest bed.
A little background
Spirituality has always fascinated me. At one point, I learned a lot through inner trance journeys. These began when my guide, An, advised me to go into the drawings I made. I called it 'my training'. This lasted several years, mostly on a daily basis. For my personal life, I was guided for years by a deep trance medium. Later, another guide joined us, with whom I again made trance journeys, this time first mainly in the unconscious, later in higher regions.
As far as formal education is concerned, I attended grammar school and completed a university degree. I work in elderly care.
I am now 60, or perhaps a little older. The Earth is embarking on a difficult but very fruitful path towards a new reality. We are receiving a great deal of spiritual help in this process. Your ancestors also want to offer support. A ritual constellation with them could be useful.
Case: Don't get too close
Today, I walked past a natural spot with a strong energetic effect, which can also transform negative energies. I sometimes pay attention to that place because I know it does good work. Today, I visited that place again, walked towards it to ‘honour’ it with my attention, and was told: “Don’t come too close.” That’s fine, of course, but why am I being told that? I don’t see any problem with coming close to that place. And what or who is saying this?
A little later, the little creature that had said this showed itself. My gaze was drawn to it and then I suddenly saw it. I took a photo of it. A very subtle, delicate little creature.
What is going on? That place has very powerful energies and there are astral beings that can be harmed if they come too close. This little creature is there to protect ‘everyone’ from the strong energetic effects by keeping them at a distance. Sweet, isn’t it? Can you see it?
For a long time, I did astral work where I took a lot of photos, astral photos. I really enjoy the occasional opportunity to photograph something from the astral world, this time in our 3D world. As I said, my gaze was drawn to it, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. The little creature doesn't want me to share the place with other people because then they might talk to it, and it's far too fragile for that. I'm happy to share this little event myself. And then telling people about it but not saying where is a nice compromise.
