schizophrenia,
I have asked my guide this very question. He responded;
�I am here as a servant of the One Living Light and to further your
spiritual growth through divine service and to teach you what
un-conditional love is through example`
As I also teach channeling, I am very careful about who I talk to, and
discernement is extremely important.
Blessings,
John Payne
