Finding Your Tribe

By John Holland

How many of you are the different one in your family? That’s one of my signature questions I often ask the audience at my lectures and demonstrations. As soon as I ask the question, a sea of hands appear, with the majority of the audience shaking their heads in agreement.

But, what do I truly mean by different? Let me try to explain. If you’re the type of person who constantly questions if there’s more to life than what appears to be directly in front of you, then you’re a little different than the norm. It may be that you’ve had your own spiritual experiences, and you’re now drawn to metaphysics, new age, or just have a keen interest in psychic phenomenon. Equally it may be that you know your soul is reaching out for you to follow its guidance. If you’re experiencing or feeling these things, it’s a good indicator that you’re like me – one of the “different ones.”

 
How to Find Your Tribe?

I was always the different one in my family. I was extra sensitive, and knew things as a child that I couldn’t possibly have known or guessed. I’d know who was about to unexpectedly visit, or which relative was ill. I’d often know what people were about to say just before they’d open their mouth. I’d see spirit people in my bedroom and always wondered whether I was dreaming. Yet none of this fazed me at the time, since I experienced these things from the moment I was born. How could I be afraid of what has always been a part of me and my life?

So, let me ask the question again, but this time in a slightly different context. Are we really different or are we simply just awake? If you’re reading this, then you probably know there’s more to this life and are tired of sleepwalking through it.
