Hollister Rand is a medium that came into my scope of awareness recently in 2019. I read her newsletters and there was a freshness there, a feeling of pure positivity as well as authenticity.
My first experience with Hollister was a half hour reading I got from her over the phone on 09/20/2019. I wrote the experience down in my journal:
” She said I had always been super-connected to the Spirit World and I said “Yes, ever since I was a child.” She said most of my relationships had been with narcissists and I said, “Yep, you’re right.” She said it was time for Self Care. “Oh, certainly, never a strong point.” And she said, “Love does not equal pain.” My parents were physically, emotionally and mentally abusive but at the same time they truly loved my twin sister and me and tried hard to raise us right and did their best so it was confusing for us, this dichotomy of Love and abuse. We believed that love did equal pain. This dynamic set us up to attract abuse in later years from partners, friends, strangers and work relationships. She went on,
“There’s this man, who is standing behind this glass sheet. He says he is your Father. She then kind of talked to herself saying sort of quizzically “Oh, he made it…” like there was some doubt in him making it. (She only communicates with Spirits that make it into the Divine Realms) She went on to say, “He says that when he passed over, you weren’t there to witness it.” (I started crying. That’s true, I felt such guilt.) Dad had been broadsided by a truck and survived only to pass two months later. Prior to the accident Dad had visited me in Colorado and I had asked him if he believed in Heaven. He looked at me quite seriously and said, “I’ll tell you if I get there”. And he sure did by stating through Hollister that I wasn’t there to witness his passing. There was no way Hollister could have known that unless Dad had told her. He told Hollister that there was only forgiveness between him and me. Very true. He told her to tell me to forgive myself for any thought that I hadn’t been a good daughter and continued saying he would be in my life, looking after me. It wasn’t until after the session that I wondered why he was behind a glass sheet. Hollister didn’t get any information regarding the nature of that barrier being there, she just wondered why he was standing behind it! I suddenly realized that the glass sheet was there because Dad was on some sort of probation. ( I mentioned that intuitive hunch to my Aunt Liz recently and she said, “Yes, that sounds about right.” Even though he had made it to the Heavenly Realms he was being monitored as he was being rehabbed. In Hollister’s latest book, “Everything You Wanted to Know About the Afterlife but was afraid to Ask”, she mentions a female spirit remarking to her about a new arrival she knew, saying that she couldn’t believe he had made it to the Divine Side…lol. I look at it this way, the Heavenly Realms have layers and you go to the layer that resonates with you. Spirit doesn’t look at people like this group is holier than that group. You go to the layer that you vibrate to and will help you continue to evolve. Now that I think about it, the glass sheet was a protection device as Dad was known to flirt inappropriately on Earth and break marriage vows for that matter and since he was a fresh transfer from Earth I’m sure his spirit guides were making it more comfortable for Hollister to interact with him. Nevertheless, it was such a relief to me that Dad had made it!
Next, Hollister said to me, “Are you really close to animals?” I said, “Yes, cats and a few dogs.” She said, “There is this black and white cat who is here to be with you.” Good Golly Miss Molly and Hallelujah, this was my beloved Butchie who lived with me in Colorado and died there before I returned to Southern California. Hollister then said, “He comes through the black and white cat you currently have now.”
I was so blown away. I am still blown away. This was an in your face, real time meet up with a beloved parent and a beloved pet. Hollister also said that my Dad had a good sense of humor. He sure did. Yes, he sure does.
I had a 2nd reading later in 2020 when Covid was getting bad and don’t ya know, Mom came through. Hollister asked me if I had had a difficult relationship with her and I said, “Oh no, not really but as I thought about it, Hollister was right. Yes it was difficult. Hollister went on to say that “Your Mother is saying she is sorry for trying to make you into her “Mini Me” and she is following your journeys in life and learning from your off the beaten path experiences. Through Hollister Mom told me she loved me and Hollister said “Did you know that she hadn’t experienced joy in her life and life had been very hard for her?” I did know she suffered from depression and never got over her Dad dying at an early age. Hollister said Mom is playing cards with a friend named Dorothy or Dottie as they chatted. In life Mom had played cards with her friend, Doris so Hollister was very close on the name.
I am glad I followed my intuition to find out about my parents in the Afterlife.
Hollister is like the “Mary Poppins of Mediums”. Absolutely magical, mystical and loveable.
