Hi Julie-
Welcome to the forum. Hope that you find this to be as rewarding a place to visit as I have. We have a lot of younger people in their 50s, as well as a few of us more mature types who are on the verge of making a more direct personal exploration of the spirit world.
Interestingly, age seems to have something to do with timing for some of us, but there are also some much younger participants who are equally as mature as some of the older ones. Age appears to have very little to do with maturity in an ultimate spiritual sense. And some of us are a mixed bag - in terms of psychic phenomena I personally am about as psychic as a flat rock, which makes me a total novice in that area, but I seem to have developed the gift of gab ... ummm ... I hesitate to say "maturely", maybe I should to use the term "over ripe". Anyway, it's fun and I look forward to your posts.

I found Bruces Book Five and CD set interesting - my copy was autographed even. I suggest that you read through his books to get an idea of what he does, and how you too can be a spiritual rescuer. Aside from generating good karma, it's an excellent spiritual practice. The first book of the series gives some good orientation to his beliefs, attitudes, the manner of his work and how you too can join in. After that, you'll notice that you wind up doing your own thing. Bruce's approach is a convenient doorway to your own development.
Enjoy
