Alex Gordon, Healer and Author of The Nine Deadly Venoms

Q:  Alex, thanks so much for agreeing to this interview. After reading your wonderful book, Nine Deadly Venoms, and checking out the articles on your website, http://www.ninedeadlyvenoms.com, I find I'm buzzing with questions for you. First off, can you explain a little about how you came to be on the "healer's path?" Was this something that evolved over several lifetimes? Were there any key experiences you can recall that served as a trigger for your healing gifts to come to the forefront?

A:  Well, I think I came to the concept of evolution rather late, having degenerated rather following the downfall of the Matriarchal Age, into a welter of self-pity and hopelessness. I think I spent many lifetimes in pursuit of gold, or money!

The trouble is, that if you keep dying in the same way, ie: “dense matter metal object through body,” the Universe grows quite weary of you, and not only do they make the dying time longer, but they lecture you harshly in the “in-between” period between incarnations, regarding the fact that if you keep devolving and not learning anything, then the bodies that you have to incarnate into become of less and less quality.

I might have been a mercenary, but I never hurt women, children or animals! Having used that as my defense seven times, it was really time to wake up, and so I started to learn how to repair things and to enhance things, instead of destroying them.

I would respectfully ask you to realize that I only have a limited amount of recall regarding my own evolution because I specialize in one narrow area of life, ie: healing and energy. Rather like a violinist who lives and breathes the violin, I am a good violinist metaphorically but of little use for anything else!

Having taken three days to die in one past lifetime, propped up against a wall, with a musket-ball through my guts, I decided to wise up and move on, and that was the wake-up call. It is strange that the vast majority of people only learn the most valuable lessons of their lives in the last few hours of their lives.

So I spent my time on education, and died easy, probably for the first time. I did my basic anatomy training in the American Civil War as a Union Field Surgeon. I was drunk out of my brains -- all the officers were, it was the only way one could get through each day. I wasn’t so much a surgeon as a butcher in a uniform, and when the war was over I retired to the backwoods and became a country doctor and I battled with diptheria and influenza and typhoid.

Now, in this life, having paid my karma, I began to learn the intricacies of energy and DNA, cause and effect and the interaction between matter, chasing the prize of immortality and determined to move onwards and upwards through the matrix of life. I started very early, at around the age of 10, and never a day goes by in which I do not learn something new. It is a most exciting adventure!

Q:  I think we’ve all experienced lifetimes as both a “sinner” and a “saint.” That’s interesting that you have so much recall about your lifetime during the Civil War. Sometimes we find ourselves in such extreme “battle conditions” that it can be next to impossible to spiritually awaken during that lifetime. I’m glad that you eventually – as you put it – “woke up!”

Can you tell us a little about the day-to-day work you do now with your clients in the UK and all over the world? I understand you do in person work as well as remote healing sessions, so the person doesn’t have to visit you in person. Would you be kind enough to explain how you approach this work and what you tend to focus on during your healing sessions? I’m always fascinated to learn which methods or techniques healers use.

:A: Well, my day-to-day work is fairly ordinary.  I work four days a week and see on average five clients per day.  The problems are always very wide-ranging, from serious organic diseases such as cancer, to emotional issues and general guidance regarding life issues and decisions.  I think it is fair to say that the clients who come to me have not had satisfactory treatment elsewhere.  I charge £35 for each session.

Also, people wish me to do absent healing, for which I require a photograph and again I make a one-off charge of £35 with the proviso that if the client is not happy with the result, then I will refund their money without question.  I have not had to do this yet!

As regards my approach, well the first thing which any therapist has to do is to care.  In my experience very few actually do.  If a client senses that you genuinely care then their unconscious mind and their metabolism will kick in behind the healing and help the whole process.  The second essential factor is of course skill, and this is really born of experience.  One has to find the root “engine” of the problem, through intuition, gut-feeling, instinct, and then aim towards it with a view to eliminating it.  Once the root cause has gone, the symptoms fall away.

The process does not tire me because I am drawing in energy from the air around me and then adapting it to suit whatever purpose may be required.  I have a healing-room and a waiting-room and sometimes I drive out to work on people in their own homes, so the actual practical set-up is quite mundane, but what makes the difference with me, is that people get better and stay better -- they acquire something real.

If I get stuck, or if something is outside of my knowledge, then I ask whoever is “on shift” in the Universe!  This is absolutely not the same as so-called “spirit guides.”

Q:  You draw a distinction between the energies (or beings) that sometimes lend assistance in a healing session and the beings most people refer to as “spirit guides.” Do I have this correct? Could you explain a little for us what you mean – are you tuning in directly to the Divine in its many manifestations vs. invoking the help of a particular person, power animal, or spirit guide? I’d like to understand your perspective a little more.

A:  This is a vast Universe, and well populated by human beings like ourselves, except that they are free of disease and death and negativity.  Of those people, only the tiniest percentage are even aware that this world exists, but even so, that tiny percentage amounts to quite a large number of people.  They monitor this world waiting for the law of free will to eradicate evil.

Since everyone is expected to progress, there cannot be “spirit-guides” in the usual “New Age” sense because they simply wouldn't be allowed to follow someone else on this world through their life, they would have to learn how to overcome their fears in the period between death here and eventual reincarnation.

This world is monitored constantly by people whose job it is to do so and they work in shifts, so, when I am stuck I put out a question in the form of desire-based energy, and whoever is “on shift” will answer it, but there is no personal interaction, no conversation, just short, sharp “bursts” of energy which translate in my brain into the English language.  If I was, for example, Russian, it would obviously translate into Russian, so the energy is Universal.  These people are not spirit-guides because they have no particular interest in me and they are not there “for me,” they are just doing their chosen job.  They are not divine, either, they simply have far more perception than myself because they have far less fear to fog their minds.

Q:  There are so many wise ones from many realms of existence, and we each have the ability to tap into greater sources of wisdom than our own. This brings me to my next question, which is about Lilith. You have written a fabulous book called Nine Deadly Venoms. (If can be ordered through your website, http://www.ninedeadlyvenoms.com.) It’s part autobiography, talking about your life, and it’s also a fascinating depiction of a dialogue you had with an advanced being you call Lilith. Throughout the book you share what Lilith taught you about society, cultural and religious programming, and the need to rid ourselves of the psychic poisons or “Nine Deadly Venoms.”

Reading about Lilith and her powerful views was very eye-opening for me. What was it like to have those direct communications with her? Can you explain a little about how these interactions happened? Am I correct in supposing that they happened in a kind of lucid dreaming state, almost like a shamanic journey?

A:  Here I have confession to make.....although in my book the dreams I described initially were indeed true, and indeed dreams, everything else was imparted to me by Lilith herself, face to face. I did not write the book in that way because I honestly thought that the reading public would not believe it. After all, it does sound totally crazy. One summer's afternoon I am in my back garden and I come into the house to find her sitting on the arm of a sofa! I don't know how she got in and it was a very startling experience. She said that she had once promised to train me, and she gave me three weeks to decide whether or not I wanted an “ordinary life” or an extremely bizarre one! I did not actually see her leave, even though she left.

I thought for a while that she must have been a hallucination or a projection of some kind, but three weeks later she duly appeared again, and I chose the bizarre life, much to her annoyance because it was obvious that she had more important things to do! She came and went as she chose for three years. I never knew where she came from or went back to and I never knew exactly when she was coming. I had to ban everyone from coming to the house. I certainly wasn't allowed girlfriends, or anything which would detract from my total focus on her. I know it sounds mad, but it's true.

Q:  How interesting! Thanks for giving us more details about how you interacted with this tremendous teacher. Lilith’s teachings really get the reader thinking in a new way. I read your book very quickly, devouring it in a day because I found it so powerful and inspiring. And then it’s taken me many weeks afterwards to process what is shared in the book. You do a marvelous job conveying the energy and wisdom of Lilith herself in the book, and her teachings really stick with you long after you’ve finished reading the book. I imagine that you went through a transformation of your own as you integrated her teachings into your own life. What would you say is the biggest change you experienced as a result of your interactions with her?

A:  The biggest transformation that she gave me was two-fold, one was the realization of how unutterably dumb I actually was, and secondly, it has always left me with a deep, deep longing to follow her to wherever she actually is, but in order to do that of course, I must evolve, and I have a very long way to go in that ambition.

Q:  I don’t think you’re “dumb” at all, based on the wonderful insights and expert healing abilities that you’re sharing with the world. You’re certainly ahead of many folks in terms of perception and awareness!

I encourage LipstickiMystic.com readers to buy your book and also to read some of the articles you’ve gathered at your website, NineDeadlyVenoms.com. They can check out some of the Lilith material there and learn some of the things she had to say about societal programming, aging, overcoming negative energy from other people, and much more. I want to thank you, Alex, for taking the time to respond to these questions. And thank you, too, for a fabulous book and website!

A:  Well, thank you...I can only thank you sincerely for your interest and your kind support, and I wish you every success in the future.
