“Spirits have been able to aid mediums to perfect certain inventions…That proves the time must come, when spirits will visibly aid every person ten thousand times more than any teacher ever did yet aid any learner of anything. By spirit aid men shall yet learn how to easily make agriculture yield two or three hundred-fold more abundantly than it has ever yet done. Magnetic engines will perform, human beings will see, feel, and instinctively follow the rules of health, so as to act on the atmosphere in such a way as to regulate the rains, cold, heat, of our earth. (This has been done in private circles; breezes, heat, and cold produced by spirits in a tight room.) A mode will be discovered by which any solid body (a house, ship, anything) may be made to float in the air (i.e., by causing the earth to repel it instead of attracting it); and finally, power, free of cost, just exactly as worlds are made to revolve, tables turn around rapidly, and many other things done in the private home-circles of highly respectable spiritualists everywhere. But, dear reader, everything is subject to retarding or accelerating influences. The infant grows every day; but if he gets sick he may stop growing; so with the gradual development of all that I here described.” —William H. Lambdin, Lambdin’s Plain Guide to Spiritual Intercourse, Health, Happiness and Universal Truth (1868)

Author of Understanding Spirit, Understanding Yourself, is a story of spiritual and personal growth, friendship, and the power of spirit to transform your life. When cynical skeptic Bob Olson met spirit messenger Vicki Monroe, opposite worlds collided. As a private investigator turned author, Bob's disbelieving attitude and standoffish behavior was the last thing Vicki wanted in her life. After all, she was just beginning to give readings professionally.But destiny stepped in helping Vicki to perform one of the best readings she would ever give in her life. Not only did the evidence Vicki delivered turn Bob into a believer, the reading dramatically changed the paths of both people, setting into motion two separate, although overlapping, journeys toward understanding spirit.This book tells a story of spiritual and personal growth, friendship, and the power of spirit to transform your life.

Vicki first discovered her gift of communicating with the “other side” when she was a child. While some people were “freaked out” by her gift, many others encouraged her to share her gift as a way of helping people to understand that life is eternal and we are not alone. Over the past four years, Vicki has gained national notoriety as a gifted psychic.Her healing message that life is eternal has spread through public demonstrations on stage, through a weekly radio show, private readings, writings and now on the city streets of America.

What is the main reason clients consult with you? What do they expect from your session?
When clients come to me it is in hopes that their departed loved ones will show up. Before the session they are made well aware that they may not get that particular spirit, but whomever shows up has messages to deliver. Clients walk away feeling “inner peace.”

Do you think people want to see their future?
Absolutely. But with me, I can only reveal a future event if it is given to me by the guides. And again, my clients know this.

How much time do you spend with a client?
The average reading lasts about an hour.

Why do you think the majority of psychics rarely use their gifts for the lottery?
Because I don’t believe psychics can. When you are given a gift to aid others in such a profound way, why would you want to use it for the lottery to begin with? Obviously you were entrusted with this ability and I believe using it for personal gain is wrong. What you own means nothing. But what you do for others is more valuable.
