The Extraordinary & the Ordinary

Many of us who experience mystical visions from the realms of radiant Light, write about the sublime experiences because of their beauty and wonder. To have these experiences is indeed a blessing offering hope, direction and evidence of a higher life available to all of us. I accept them with gentle tears of joy and gratitude. Although they are extraordinary compared to the experiences we normally have as humans, I am actually fascinated in more ways by the ordinary. What I mean by ordinary is the interaction of friends, family and strangers who have physically left their bodies and choose to remain in the lower invisible worlds for a spell.

To describe ordinary according to the perspective of a neighbor of mine who had a near death experience swimming will be interesting to people who have not examined the idea of ongoing life. When he temporarily left his body and visited the lower astral plane, he was very surprised and disappointed. He expected Heaven as described by his church and all he saw were people walking around everywhere. He did not understand the various planes that exist according to consciousness, will and desire. So many people believe that they are going to sit on the right hand of God or interact with great masters, angels and experience whatever they envision Heaven to be. It is true that often times we receive or experience the results of our belief system but it is not necessarily as grand as we had hoped. The soul finds that out soon enough. The invisible worlds are basically the same as the physical world up to a point. The point of transformation is reached when individual consciousness matches the Causal and Celestial worlds.

What I find fascinating is how souls who have physically left their bodies behave so ordinary. After my mother's death, she came and reminded me about having her gravestone updated. The man I was dating four years ago who died unexpectedly appeared in my kitchen addressing me in his own special way asking me to tell his married daughter to locate a very old and special wallet of his squirreled away somewhere in his home. It turned out sentimental notes, stubs,etc. from the time he and his wife were lovers were tucked away in that old wallet. The daughter did find it and I am certain he is now satisfied. The funny part to me were his old departed buddies standing near him. As below so Above in his particular case. Many souls have unfinished business, concerns about loved ones and attachments that they will not release until they are satisfied. It is desire that keeps them in the lower regions of light until they assimilate their recent life journey and are ready to move on. No attachments...no lingering.

What Can I Do to Liberate Myself?

First, no one is going to do it for you. If you want to continue to live a limited life boxed in by conditioning, judgments, fears and falsity, do nothing. It takes disciplined effort on your part to circulate the light, divinity, within your energy patterns. Also, transformation does not occur over night although some people like to believe so. Remember, we carry around with us the past and its memories which are still front and center in most people in the present. So, in many ways few people are actually living in the present. Yes, there are definite steps you can take to be liberated. You must stay with the intention by giving it your full attention.

Thirty-eight years of healing opportunities has provided the knowledge and experience to share the words that I do. Next week, I will give you suggestions and examples on the subject of healing. Understand that healing must begin in your mind first. A passionate desire to be free of any form of bondage and live as wholeness and truth was the spark that grew into an ongoing flame in my own experience. My desire was to fully remember who I spiritually am and consciously reflect the Light. When we live from that perspective, we do not know fear. I knew that there is really only one power and presence, God, and allowed no thought, person or experience to deter me from my inner knowing.

You can liberate yourself and help others as well. Do not be intimidated by someone else who appears to have a greater spirituality or power flowing through him/her than you. The secret is to fall in love with the Absolute Spirit and Its presence living in you. Once you have attained the right understanding of who you really are, you can take the various attachments, hindrances, falsity and conditioning out of your mind and replace them with the certainty, love, compassion, wisdom and beauty of a balanced soul. Light will circulate through you and for the first time you will understand what it means to be free.
