My early years and the acceptance of my psychic ability

When I was much younger I had some profound experiences in the psychic realms which to me were inexplicable and so difficult to truly comprehend that I was in desperate need of guidance.
I sought out a mentor to help me understand what was happening to me.
My unlikely mentor appeared in the guise of an incredibly talented yet somewhat eccentric medium / astrologer who chain smoked and conducted psychic readings in his ramshackle home sometimes whilst sat in his dogs basket.
He was without a doubt a cackling chain smoking genius who had a wicked sense of humour and helped me more than I can ever say.
For the first time in my life I began to accept my ability and look towards a way of life that would enable me to help not only myself but others. I was initially somewhat dubious about becoming a professional psychic but began studying Numerology Astrology and other Psychic and Metaphysical subjects.
I remember my mentor telling me that I must study study study.
I eventually hung up my bike leathers and picked up the tarot cards! I spent many hours with this incredible human being whom never ceased to amaze and inspire me. I am eternally grateful for his wisdom and for literally saving my life as I had previously been on the run from myself and my ability.
Thank you I have never forgotten you.
