Dear Ms. AstralVision,
I live my life not trusting anyone especially when it comes to getting advice about my life. But after seeing your promo, I can tell that you’re a spirit of great wisdom and truth. I feel that I can trust you, so…here it is:
I don’t love life. I wake up in the mornings and just stay in bed til the afternoon (or until I get hungry). I stay at home all the time and don’t care about socializing. I don’t even like bathing more than once a week. I’ve been seeing a shrink but she put me on some anti-depressants and some other s@#t, and I don’t know if they’re working. I’ve reached the end of my rope and I’m tired of hating myself for hating life.
What do you think should be my first step at “feeling” and “loving” life again? And don’t say “seek help from a different doctor” because I’ve gone to 11 different ones. Come on, Ms. AstralVision, I know you can help me.

Dear Smelly lowlife from the pits,
In order to get out of the life condition you are in, search for a spiritual practice that will help raise your state of mind. There are many mantras to choose from and you need to do whatever your seeking soul is drawn to. The problem I'm sensing is clearly a lack of faith in oneself and a lack of a dream/mission.
Ask yourself, "what do I LOVE to do?" There HAS to be something!. Even if you feel it is silly just "WHAT do I LOVE to do?" and then write me back .
This dream or motivation will help you understand WHY you are waking up in the morning. Do you see what I am saying? Do you like to help the poor or the sickly? Helping others will bring you a joy that you have never experienced. It will make you feel that you are needed and wanted in this world.
Or do you love animals? Perhaps helping animals in some way (there are so many organizations that need help) and once again I can help you with the details. Just ask yourself this important question and we can take it from there.
Your life is a gift that many others would give anything for. Look deep and down into your soul and muster up APPRECIATION for your life.
Thank you for seeking out my help - that is the FIRST step so congratulations!!

"Family Won't Speak To Me..."
Dear Ms. AstralVision,
I just had a trip home to my family that was a nightmare. Now most of them are not even talking to me. What do you suggest?
New Black Sheep of the family
Dear Black Sheep,
I'm sorry to hear of your family being upset at you. Without knowing much about the details of your trip back home, it's hard for me to give true guidance. However, one thing I could suggest is that you call all of them separately and work it out.
Come from your heart and tell them what you really feel inside without blame and just tell the truth. If you'd like to write back and give me more info, then I'll be able to guide and help you better.
Thanks,

"Prisoner of Love..."
Dear Ms. AstralVision,
I’m been dating this guy for about 7 months now. I really like him and feel like I falling in love with him. I think he really likes me too. We haven’t said the “L” word yet and I’m not sure that I want to. However, I’ve noticed that in the last three or four months he’s been very controlling and not supportive of what I do. He tells me what I can do and can’t; he tells me that he disapproves of me spending time with friends; and he discourages me from taking my dance classes that I’ve always taken. He tells me that I’m too old and that I can never make it as a dancer at my age (I’m 34). The things he wants me to stay away from are the things that give me “life”!
I don’t know what to do. I feel comforted by his presence but he treats me the way my parents treated me growing up. I want him to change and he says that he will but as of yet, I haven’t seen that extra effort.
Let me just say that he’s a sweet guy with a good heart and I’m sure his intentions are never to hurt me…but…when will he change? I know he has it in him to do be the person I need for a partner and we do sometimes have fun together and we both like the same types of food.
So I guess my main question is this, should I stay or should I go? Do you think that with time he’ll mellow out and not freak when I want to do something fun and exciting with my friends? Or he won’t yell at me for wasting my time dancing? Or he won’t push me against the wall when I want to talk about our problems because he insists that the problems are just in my head?
Your guidance is truly appreciated and respected,
Prisoner of Love in Las Vegas
Dear Prisoner of Love in Las Vegas,
DUMP HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I say this again?!? DUMP this controlling, non-supportive, insecure and possessive man ASAP.!!!!!!!!!!!
No one is allowed to try to change you, my dear, unless YOU want to change yourself.
This is not an Unconditionally loving relationship.
However what YOU need to do is go to therapy and work on discovering why you are attracted to something so unhealthy.
There are a lot of people out there like you so please don't feel bad you are a sweet woman who needs to learn to love herself.
Write me and tell me of your progress - I am here to help.
Sincerely,
Ms. Astralvision - (back to top)
"Starving Artist Stuck at Crossroads..."
Dear Ms. AstralVision,
I have a dilemma. I am a starving artist who has fallen below the poverty level (i.e. I’ve been living on Spaghetti-O’s and day old bread for the last three weeks.) Now the time has come when I feel like giving up my art, I paint very pretty landscapes, and finding a full time corporate job to help pay for my delinquent bills and rent. But then I’m afraid that I’ll get lost in the corporate shuffle and never come back to my art (I can forge great Picasso pieces too! It’s quite easy.)
Should I stick with my art or sell my soul to the horrible corporate world? And if I do sell out, how do I come back from that death trap.
- Broke and Befuddled in Burbank
Dear Broke and Befuddled in Burbank,
My answer would be to SOMEHOW do both. Get a job to support your ART but perhaps not FULL TIME. I believe in doing all and not choosing between one or the other.
Do a lot of meditating and yoga and deep soul searching and listen to your heart. Follow your intuition always without fear. This is where faith comes in...
You must muster up faith that will manifest your prosperity, no matter what, and manifest your desires in your way.
Have it YOUR WAY just like at Burger King.!!
Good luck,

"What Makes You Qualified?..."
Hey Ms. AstralVision,
Yo! What makes you qualified for giving advice to people? Are you supposed to be some divine reincarnation or something?

Dear Skeptic from the Bronx,
The only thing that qualifies me is that I am committed to helping others through my own experience.
