Excerpts from the book

"What your friend gets in touch with when she holds your hand is an energy – I am an energy. One of yours. This energy holds memories – forgotten times. This is how the energy is interpreted to you, through her you experience me. That memory remembers me as I was, so you don’t get all of me in the energy that she feels, it’s only part of me. When I am not with you, I am nowhere, but everywhere inside of you. Time means nothing." [Delphi (a priestess from ancient Greece)]

"In my time women were strong… Women led the way." [Delphi (a priestess from ancient Greece)]

"It is human energy that has been harnessed, and when one’s down and lacks energy they can receive from someone who gives. And pain can be blocked with energy, just as your aspirin does, but it does not have harmful side effects. In many cases people have pain from certain muscle groups that are not relaxed, and as chemicals break down certain fibrous material, energy can break down tension within muscles. Does that make sense to you?" [Delphi (a priestess from ancient Greece) on spiritual healing]

"It is not often I can speak. It is not often I find an instrument that can withstand me. People do not understand what tomorrow [Christmas Day] is. It has been a year since they held the celebration. They wait one whole year until they celebrate the birth; until they reach out to others; until they let down their defences and start to love. One whole year. It saddens me to see this. I am not angry, I am saddened. I am not special. I had just learned to care." [Jesus Christ]

"My needs are simple. I wish for people to recognise the love that surrounds them every day. And I wish for them to recognise their own inner strength and their own uniqueness. And enjoy what they have taken from this world into yours." [Jesus Christ]

"When climbing a mountain, it is always hardest when you first begin. You think the mountain is so high that you cannot reach the summit. When you are half-way there you do not give up, for to go back down is the same distance to go to the top. When you are at the top, you can see everywhere, then your choice is to go back down the way you came, or to go down the other side to find the next mountain. If you have climbed one, you can climb another, each one bigger than the last, with a better view from the top." [Mary, mother of Jesus]

"Sometimes you’re no fun! (Laughs) But I love you anyway!" [Neillus (Sioux Native American boy)]

"Mind the gap! Mind the gap! [Imitating London Underground announcements] Stand clear of the doors. Mind the gap. (Laughs) Mind the gap." [Neillus (Sioux Native American boy)]

"My blessings and thoughts to you. (…) To all you care about. Thank you. My blessings. And my wisdom. Thank you. I now must break wind. And then I will leave you. (Laughs) Goodnight." [Siang, Chinese spirit guide]
