I always heard or read about others receiving validation for a retrieval they assisted with. I would like to share a very powerful validation that happened to me.

In early 2004 I was traveling for a job interview flying to California. While on the plane I settled back and relaxed, thinking of catching a nap during the 3 hour flight. I was having trouble sleeping so I decide to try a retrieval even though there was some noise and activity around me. As soon as I sent out my intention, an image of a soldiers helmet came vividly into my minds eye. I relaxed and went with the flow. I was immediately taken to a desert area and was riding in a military vehicle. Beside me was a soldier that kept calling me sir. He was very anxious telling me he was going after the enemy to protect his men. I received the knowing that this soldier had been killed by a road side bomb that went off, killing him and the men riding with him. He told me all he remembered is a flash of light and the next thing he saw was his men laying on the ground dead or injured. He began issuing commands to create a perimeter to protect his men. As we where riding together he kept frantically saying, "sir, I need to protect my men, sir I need to save my men". I must have appeared to him as an officer or someone in command. In order to get him to refocus, I told him his men needed him and they where at the hospital now. He stopped and agreed. I asked him some questions as we traveled, he told me his name and that he was a 1st Lieutant in the Marines and that he was married for 2 years with a 1 year old daughter named Percilla. We arrived at the tent hospital where a nurse (helper) started to tend to his wounds. I felt I could leave him there with the helpers.

I accepted the job in California and moved there 2 months later. One evening my wife and I where walking in our new neighborhood when I glanced up and saw on the back window of a parked pickup truck a military sticker. The sticker was a Marine symbol with a cross inside. The sticker had printing that said In Memory of and it listed the soldiers name that I had done the retrieval for several months earlier. I stood with my month open and chills running through my body. This was unbelievable. This was physical validation. I stood there very confused, wondering if I should go up to the house or keep walking. How would I confront complete strangers about a loved one killed in war. I decided to give thanks for the validation and to leave the family alone.

Even now I give thanks for this validation and the continued inspiration that it provides me to do retrievals.

Sounds like a good validation Mikeel.

It is interesting how the verificaton was arranged. It shows what is possible. :)

That's wonderful, Mikeel !

It still provides a chill !
Please thank your Oversoul for providing us all with that inspiration!
Many thanks to you for sharing it.

Love, Bets

Mikeel

Many thanks to you for sharing it, nice to hear validation.
Feels great doesn't it..:)
With love;Romain

I suppose it is a good decision to leave a family in peace.....but, I would have been tempted to send a very carefully worded anonymous letter. Even if they didn't understand it. Promising not to contact them again.

But, wow. I can only imagine how you must have felt. I think I would have felt like the world was spinning....Oh, but it does!

Wow.

Nice one mikeel !

boy, you're right though, verifications are so rare! When Bruce talks in his first book about being almost desperate for one, you don't quite get it, but when you're out there on your own you sure understand !  I've only had about five in all my years of doing this work.

"Trust is always the first issue"...and you know what, it never stops being the first issue!

love, gordon
