This is the sixth session of the ninth series of Lanzarote Sessions, transcribed during a break to the Canary Islands in March 2025. During our frequent visits, I sit in the power of the spirit at least once daily and allow the spirit-connect to share a message with me.
|| This summary written on 29th June 2025 | 110 days after session
I would consider myself as someone largely controlled by my emotions, and less by my logical state. I’m a medium after all, and mediums are sensitive types and rely on their emotional state for their craft. But sometimes, this is a burden, rather than a gift.
Take my work with Spirited Talk as an example. A few years ago I made a decision to start the original podcast service. I had no experience and no idea what problems I would encounter. Emotionally, I thought it would be a welcome service for the students of this work. Some people, including my partner, advised me that this would never work. To some extent, they were correct. My problems started at the offset, not using logical thinking in considering financial costs, required technical skills, market research, and whether the idea even ‘had legs’.
I kept the project going for a couple of years, all the time knowing that I couldn’t sustain it for very much longer. With regrets, I had to diversify, reduce the costs, and eventually mothball the project. My emotionally-based decision had not foreseen the logically obvious likely outcome. Do I regret starting Spirited Talk? Oddly enough, no. In the process, I learned some useful skills, met some wonderful people, and created some digital content that will live on, well after I’ve moved on to the next life.
Meanwhile, I’m devoting much of my spare time to producing this ‘Spirited Talk’ archive containing some of my work as a student of this wonderful pursuit we call mediumship. An emotionally based decision? Yes. Do I have regrets for starting this? Yes, every day! Why do I continue? Because I set the goal and want to achieve it. Should we look back at our life and acknowledge the mistakes? Probably not! The speaker in this session explains why.
After you’ve read the following philosophical message from a wise speaker in spirit, consider what state of mind your decisions are made. Logically based, or emotionally based?
THE SPIRIT INSIGHT
transcribed on Monday, 10th March 2025, at 4:15 pm
Thank you. Please write the opening question I planted in your mind, then wait for me to answer it.
“If you could have your life again, what would you do differently the second time?”
Most people would be able to list a few big things they’d like to do differently, given half the chance. Some things would be major, while others would be more subtle.
Isn’t it a good thing we don’t get that opportunity? Those things that most people would change were important stepping stones, or markers in their life path. They were there for a reason. Lessons in life that have been learned from, and have shaped how and who they become. Some good, some not so good. But all were important in shaping who they are now and who they become because of it.
I know you’ve been told before that looking back only serves to show you how far you have come in your life. There will be decisions you make tomorrow and onwards, that will adjust your life path, and change who you become after.
Life is progressive, not regressive. It’s okay to reflect, but to allow those past mistakes, whether good or bad, to fester in your mind now and onwards is life limiting.
Most decisions people make, whether good or bad, are based on an emotional state of being at that time. As people age and gain wisdom and knowledge, the emotional outbursts, as you might refer to them, are more controlled, tempered as I call it.
Your life, and all people’s lives, can be viewed as learning steps, and most of those occur in the growing years. Your body grows biologically with time. Your wisdom grows with knowledge and experience and are not related to your biological state.
No-one has ever lived a trouble-free life. No-one has lived and failed to make mistakes or decisions they later regretted. People are susceptible, gullible, easily influenced, coerced and guided by others. That is part of being a human. Who you are and what you have become is because of those early choices. It doesn’t make you good or bad now. It makes you who you are, and that is a unique individual like no other.
With all the wisdom you have acquired, you’re now living in a life where your choices are more select. The emotional states are more contained. The decisions you make today and tomorrow are far more likely to be better than if you had acquired no wisdom in your life.
Isn’t that exciting? Knowing now that tomorrow’s choices are based on the decisions you make now and in the past. I have only met a few people here in my world that truly regret some of their major decisions they made when on earth. The majority of us don’t live on with such regrets. Every day is a new and fresh start to the future. Every day is another opportunity to adjust the journey through life, for the greater good. Every day is a blessing and an opportunity. For us here, and for you there.
Living with regrets is baggage you need not carry. Living with hope is exciting, revealing and fresh.
No humans on earth know what tomorrow might bring and if they did, they’d probably want to change that too!
Have you enjoyed my words? It’s a pleasure sharing a few of my philosophical thoughts with you. Enjoy today to the fullest. Tomorrow will be better still.
Goodbye

MY AFTERTHOUGHTS
written at the time of this presentation
🔷 This is one of those sessions that I categorise under the heading, “Even if the message was from my higher spirit!” I don’t doubt that it came from the connected speaker, but to please the sceptics, at the very least, the message source could have come from my own higher spirit. Based on either assumption, the message talks to me. But I’m sure it talks to a lot of us as well. For the record, I don’t like living life with regrets, and the wrong directions I’ve taken were part of the route that got me to where I am now. And I’m happy with that!
🔷 I like the point that this speaker made about how, with more wisdom through age, we make decisions based more on those past experiences and less so based on raw emotions alone. One thing for sure, I’ve never met a medium that regrets taking that course in their life. I’ve met a few ‘happy discontent’ types though that could do with making a few changes to their life path. We all know the type – walking through life carrying the heavy baggage filled with their previous life decisions.
🔷 When we drive our cars, we occasionally look into the rear-view mirror. What we are seeing is a reflection of the road behind us. Hello? Doesn’t that analogy describe life in general? We can’t change the past, but we can change what the past will be from the future decisions we take now. I’d love to claim that way of looking at it for myself, but I can’t, because that’s what the speaker suggested.
“No humans on earth know what tomorrow might bring and if they did, they’d probably want to change that too! “
THIS SESSION WILL BE RELEASED TO THE MAIN WEBSITE AFTER 4th SEPTEMBER 2025
