Client Expectations

Clients with Expectations as Adversaries

My Services as “Servitude”

As channeling is a Service profession, I’ve encountered some persons who expect of me, levels of bent-knee attentiveness to their desires, wants, or expectations. Such a posture is expected in person’s whose degree of ego-involvement is high, whether we think of them as wounded, narcissistic, or just plain ignorant of common courtesies. I care and listen deeply and with as much compassion that I can muster, and with all the Consortium avails to me. It is a significant support!

I am not a priest, nor a nursemaid, nor a therapist; I am an information provider who is generally: ready, willing, and happy to provide assistance and comfort; but I do NOT respond to demands for it! Again, I am a service provider, not a servant. You get my level best every time we interact.

This brief position statement is sad for me to assert, but as times get more difficult, and people retreat into ever more positions of fear and reactivity, the tendency for expectation seems to increase, and even belligerently so. I, as a mature and self-respecting adult, can acknowledge this tendency and its desperate neediness (in myself at times, as well), but it does not require me to participate in, it nor subject myself to, those emotions. Your ‘emergency’ is not my urgency.

In a time where rational discourse, common courtesy, and simple thinking about the “other” are all in decline, because of the rising tides of worldly fears, this boundary/ethics statement becomes necessary for me to publish. I invite you to contact me and I welcome the opportunity to serve you, not rescue you nor be held hostage to your expectations. “Being Positive” might be one of the greatest dis-services, especially when pretensive, that I or anyone can maintain. Facts that are difficult can be addressed with aplomb and genuine compassion. Flattery is a detriment to truth.

BTW, I accord you every consumer right and spiritual sovereignty not to “like” nor “agree” with what “WE” have to say. It is within your agency, and due diligence, to dismiss what has not been useful nor resonates with you. You do not have to return for further engagements! Caveat Emptor. No one is holding you hostage, and I DO NOT proclaim “truth”, just my opinion. If you are purchasing a session; you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.

Respectfully.
