WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAITH?

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAITH?

People often ask me where or how I developed faith.  I cannot really answer that.  Perhaps, somewhere in the long ago past I made a choice to be aware.  Observing humanity, it appears as if a bond between Heaven and Earth has broken or ruptured many souls from a genuine connection referred to as the power of faith.   There is a huge difference between reason and spiritual realization.  Many of us have been severely abused, misjudged, scorned, ignored, deceived, raped and even have had the life almost choked out of us.  Yet, here we stand, our faith stronger than ever.

I know as a fact that we can recover what sometimes feels as a lost spiritual anchorage because the bond is only concealed and not lost. We really do not know the power of our faith unless we meet a serious challenge head on with absolute trust.  I have found that trust and openness to the Divine is true power.  The mind and body can overcome any sense of isolation, alienation, fragmentation of incompleteness when we have genuine faith.

When a life threatening situation occurred in my own body years ago, I made a decision. This particular challenge was in the area of bodily health.  Putting ego aside, the opinions of others and the doubts and fears that typically cripple an opportunity to heal, I made a choice.  The choice was not to seek medical emergency help.  Instead, I went back to bed although it was mid-morning and surrendered my physical life to the Divine.  I had had no training in spirituality but somewhere within consciousness I knew I was not separated from Source.  As a result of my conscious decision, the entirety of what I am was fully healed within one hour.  This action was a turning point in my life.  I am not suggesting that you make the same choice as I did in a similar medical situation.  My choice is simply one example out of thousands.

Where the confidence of faith came from I cannot explain.  In all probability, I gained sacred knowledge somewhere in a long ago past and in that current moment of decisiveness and pain, I reconnected to my own true and spiritual nature.  The faith that awakened within me became a powerful presence of light for the suffering that came later.  At different points in our journey, we are given opportunities to resurrect our true self.  Just because we have faith it does not mean the 'dark' side of life avoids us. 

Offering healing energy to others and an intimate understanding and sharing of the divine Light became my response to physical life.  There are many others like myself who view the world as a sanctuary and hold a genuine reverence for life and the cosmos as a whole.  And...most of you quietly live your life as I have.  We do our best to treat each other according to what both we and they can potentially become: divine lights uplifting ourselves and helping others to heal, to integrate, to become reverential.  Although we have experienced a  'second birth', we understand we are not a finished product.  Spiritual realization is a state of mind and heart, an awakened consciousness.

What happened through the many dark moments was an increase in faith. I'm writing this for you who desire to be a part of the movement to manifest on the material plane peace, harmony, love, joy, justice and a genuine understanding.  We are not alone.  Thought is an active, powerful force that will effect our evolution. Be confident, expand your faith by getting up and taking action.  Remember, there is a gigantic network, a community of beings in the invisible realms, who derive great joy in helping us.  Let us link our light and unite for the purpose of regenerating the human race.  Faith will help us do it for the sheer joy of doing it.

In harmony and gratitude,

NEGATIVE INFLUENCES FROM THE ASTRAL PLANE

Last time, I shared a firsthand experience touching on suicide and unfulfilled wishes often experienced by those who vacate the body in great anguish.  I do wish to add at this time that there have been other such cases that have appeared to me asking to notify their physical relatives that they are truly sorry for an impulsive act that has caused so many people, including the departed, pain.  The personality, senses and mind temporarily remain with the soul in the afterlife until adjustments and understanding are thoroughly made and a return to a fresh life is determined.  An example of the afterthought of sorrow was the young father-husband of my daughter’s friend.  He took his life and left chaos only to find that his personal feelings continued regardless of what realm he happened to be vibrating in.

Not everyone who ‘crosses over’ asks forgiveness or is gentle in their personal behavior toward surviving relatives or friends.  There have been countless ‘pranks’ written and stories told about the mischief and evil activities that can come from earthbound souls attacking humans.  I had never heard any one mention the type of manipulation that went on between two sisters, one alive and the other deceased.   A young woman was brought to our home that actually smelled of death.  She was anorexic.

The ‘dead’ sister was attempting to influence the living sister to stop eating and join her on the other side.  Until that moment, the plan was working.  I scolded the departed sister about moral issues and that it was time for her to leave her physical sister alone and move onward into a new life for herself.  I also called reinforcements, angels, to come and remove the lingering earthbound soul.

Celestial help and the Holy Spirit stepped in and everything was corrected.  Once the young woman became free of the attachment and influence of her deceased sister, her health rapidly improved.  The debilitating experience changed her consciousness.  She decided to help herself and others.  The young woman enrolled in courses of study that would provide education and treatment for ongoing health, diet and enhancing her sense of self-esteem.

I do wish to add that none of us are immune to evil energy.  We must be on alert.  One powerful personal experience happened to me a few years back when I ignored a morning warning vision about a possible injury to my body and another reminder while sitting at the breakfast table.  When I stood up from the table, I felt an intense invisible force directed toward me.  My body was thrown to the ground and hip fractured.  It was a very painful lesson regarding paying close attention particularly to warnings from our invisible friends of light and love.  I never did find out why someone or something decided to harm me.  What I did realize is that I had not respected the warning and a serious injury materialized.

SUICIDES AND CLOSURES

Not only are influences directed toward us from unseen intelligence that same subtle intelligence may ask for a healing from a human.  A friend’s neighbor was actually afraid to go into his basement and do the laundry.  Even his dog would resist.  They ‘felt’ something or someone hanging out in the basement that was not peaceful.  Finally, my friend asked me to visit her neighbor and psychically check the basement and see if I could determine what was actually going on.  I carried my boom box, a cassette filled with Gregorian chants, incense, candles and a pendulum to the basement.  For one reason or another, I felt whatever was going was somehow involved with church protocol.  Feeling the anxiety and sadness permeating the area, I came to the conclusion that there was a departed soul in the basement who needed a healing. I have always found it interesting how the ‘dead’ seem to know which humans have enough sensitivity to actually see and communicate with them.  They obviously feel the connection in our personal energy field.  I also felt amused regarding the homeowner, his dog and my friend not coming near the action by staying off to the side.

I found out that the earthbound soul had taken his life in the house.  He had been a Catholic and according to our telepathic communication received no closure ceremony regarding his burial.   He wanted a service and asked whether I would create right then and there a memorial for him, which I did.  Feeling compassion for the soul, I did the best that I could do under the circumstances.  Candles were lit, incense burning and prayers said and a lovely chant was playing.  When finished with the ceremony and feeling his newfound peace, I called the angels to come and gently take this soul to a brighter place than his former basement. 

Perhaps, you already know that many animals are clairvoyant.  They usually have a clearer access to unseen activities in subtle and sensitive areas than many humans.  It was really sweet observing the homeowner’s dog watch the grateful soul leave with the angels.  Of course, the homeowner was grateful as well.  Now, he could go into his basement without feeling the intense sadness that had filled the room and take care of what needed to be done.
