Hello everyone.....My live in boyfriend (fiance) and love of my life had passed away on his birthday: March 23,06. He was only 33 and he's passed away from an accidental overdose (herroine and speed). We were EXTREMLY close (some might say codependent but i'd say Twin Flames). He could read my mind and empathicly understand me like know other......Anyhow.....I have been reading alot of Sylvia Brownes' books; she says  an accidental overdose  is considered suicide and therefore the recipitant must be reincarnated immediatly after being "cacooned' (40-50 years our time). I had gone to see an extremly gifted psychic 1 month after he had passed on. She informed me he was still earthbound and he clinging to me (out of guilt). She had told me he was on the verge of crossing over. My question is: How many poeple believe in Sylvia Browns' theory.....Do u beleive he wil be cacooned and if so does that mean he wont be available to me if I want to make contact with him again in the near future????? The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I will eventually make contact with him again on the other side......thanks soo much......God Bless!!!

Hi baby_duck,
I wish you will have a contact with your friend soon.

I personally mistrust every statement that claims general rules of the souls' ways without looking at every case in its own uniqueness. And to talk even about a timeframe makes it even worse I find.

Spooky

Working with reports of past lives in regression sessions, the idea of  "cocooning" has never arisen in my clinical experience. That neither agrees with nor denies Silvia's statement, but simply suggests that what she perceives was expressed differently to me. (Hold up a coin - it it "heads" or "tails"? It depends on viewpoint.)

What normally happens, according to regression reports,  is that the suicide discovers that death merely interrupts the process of growth, and then comes back to finish, starting up again at the place where the prior life was left off.

Some people seem to look at this as a terrble threat of punitive karma, others look at it as a second chance to get it right because God accepts everything we do and still has purely unconditional love for us all, and others have other ideas.

My suggestion: If you care about your friend, pray for him,  forgive him for leaving you, and ask him to forgive himself, to allow love to carry him forward, and to have faith that he will get the best possible treatment in the world of spirits, and in the next life here. In addition, there's nothing really to stop you from staying in contact with him.
