A couple of weeks ago I was asked by an acquaintance of my sister in Michigan to check on two of her family members who'd died, a brother who died in December 2004 and a nephew who died around June 2004.  I've received her permission to post this account on AKC.  The brother's name is Darryl, the nephew is Daniel.

I did my breathing preparation and then had a discussion with the Sharrah, the guide who oversees me and the helpers I work with.  I sense her presence as feminine and as an energy essence rather than a specific person.  She communicates with me in what Robert Monroe referred to as rotes – packets of thought, information, etc. that hit you all at once.  I used to have lots of trouble unraveling these but I noticed this time it was much easier.  Guess I’ve improved.

Sharrah and I discussed a few issues personal to me and then she showed me a heart-expanding exercise.  I expanded my heart energy outward in a wave in all directions.  As the wave expanded, I had to expand to be able to continue sensing the energy.  As I did, I felt a wave of love energy coming back to me, increasing it.  This wasn’t a sentimental version of love – it was more like a force of energy.  Images flashed through my mind of people I’d had a heart connection to over the course of my life.  I briefly sensed a beautiful outdoor environment with many trees, green grass and blue skies.  I sensed it as a meeting place where all could meet and experience this pure love unimpeded by fear, regret, etc.

A helper I’ve referred to previously as the Professor took over.  He had me raise my heart energy into my third eye, I assume to help me perceive better.  When that connection was secure we began to travel to Darryl.  The environment around him was filled with sadness and remorse.  I could strongly sense his remorse over his nephew’s death and his “not being there” for him.  Then I got a barrage of so much information I didn’t really know how to sift through it.  The following is not necessarily the order the information came, but in a manner that I can present the story in an understandable (to me) way.

Daniel, the nephew, and Darryl, the uncle, were very much alike.  Darryl had a problem with cocaine when younger, but had managed to kick the habit.  Cigarettes and coffee became the substitute?  I believe the drugs weakened his heart  but what really did it was a broken heart.  I got sketchy information about that – not even a great impression of a love life.  I couldn’t get a strong impression here so felt it might not be my business or germane to retrieving him.

I got the sense the family was very close and the family history was convoluted.  I got information about twins, one or both who died, but that it related to a grandmother – Darryl’s or Daniels??  There’s a family secret involved here but I don’t know how much it related to the uncle or nephew’s circumstances.

When Daniel (the nephew) was six I sensed something traumatic happened related to an accident where he and his mother were involved.  I saw Daniel with a cast on his arm.

At this point Darryl became more like a father figure to Daniel.  They were like close buddies.  I didn’t sense Daniel’s biological father around.  I couldn’t get an accurate sense of whether it was because of his death or their divorce.

Also I found myself repeatedly getting the names mixed up.  Hopefully I didn’t get elements of the stories mixed up as well!

At age ten, I sensed another traumatic experience, a separation and possibly another accident where Daniel witnessed someone’s death.  Whatever it was, he was traumatized to the point where his behavior changed – getting into trouble at school, other problems leading eventually to being influenced by the wrong crowd and leading to drugs.

I got the sense of another father figure, possibly a stepfather or mom’s boyfriend, had something to do with both the trauma and the change in Daniel’s behavior.

At this point, Darryl became either less involved or relegated to the sidelines.  Their relationship changed and he wasn’t as present.  When Daniel died he felt it was his fault for not being more present in the boy’s life, as if somehow if he’d tried harder, the boy would have gone down a different path.

After Darryl died he became somewhat aware of where his nephew was although they were in different places.  He was aware of the guides willing to help him move on, but couldn’t “leave the family”. 

I was able to convince him that he could move on or learn ways to connect to the family that would be less restricting for everyone involved (such as through dream contact).  He agreed to go with the helpers.

Just before he left, I saw him playing with a lighter, sort of rotating it in his hand or flipping it and quickly lighting it.  I heard “lucky lighter”.  It looked gold and pretty nice.  He said he’d lost it awhile ago.

At this point my dog, who was laying on my bed, started having one of his nightmares.  Apparently Darryl heard this and asked what was that noise he was hearing.  I explained it was my dog.  He smiled and said he’d had a dog too.  I got flashing images of a German Shepard, a Collie and a Doberman Pinscher.  As Darryl started to recede I heard the word “Nickles” and wondered if it referred to one of the dogs.

Although I wanted at that point to go find Daniel, I was pressed for time.  The Professor told me I could try helping Daniel later.  I briefly sensed he was half aware in his afterlife environment but because of his state of being, it might take time to help him.  I returned to normal consciousness.

Hi All.

I was able to speak briefly to the relative.  Here's the verification I've gotten so far.

1.  Relationship between the two men.  Daniel and Darryl were very much alike.  They were very close as well.  Darryl was a father figure to Daniel. 

2.  Darryl's remorse over Daniel's death.  Darryl indeed felt responsible when Daniel died of the overdose.  She confirmed that he felt if he'd been there for him more then his death could have been prevented.

3.  Darryl's drug use.  At first she didn't remember Darryl using any hard drugs, but later a few minutes later remembered he indeed had done coke in high school.

4.  Broken Heart.  Both the relative I had contact with and a sister have been saying all along that Darryl died of a broken heart.  No further details were given (nor did I ask). 

5.  Daniel's Traumas Growing up.  Although this relative wasn't alwayss present during Daniel's childhood, she said she knew for a fact that he was constantly having accidents.  She believes that it was an unconscious attempt to gain attention.  Apparently Daniel was shuffled back and forth between his mother and father (divorced) and neither really wanted him.

6.  Another Father Figure relating to Another Trauma.  His mother remarried and had another child, although the relative couldn't verify at what age Daniel was at that point.

7.  Relationship with Darryl Becomes Sidelined.  Because of being constantly shuffled between his parents, Darryl was less present in Daniel's life.  He later felt it was his fault for not being more present in his life that Daniel became involved in drugs.

8.  Dogs.  At first the relative replied she was only aware of her brother having a cat.  The name Nickles didn't ring any bells.  When I mentioned the flashing images of the german shephard, the doberman and the collie, she replied that they'd had each of those types of dogs as children.  Then suddenly she exclaimed, "Oh, I wonder if you're talking about Nicky!"  Nickey was an Alaskan malamut they'd had while growing up.  Of course, I have no idea what that breed looks.  Perhaps he tried to show me an image and it didn't register.  So Darryl spoke the name of the dog.

There were other elements that were intriguing but didn't really verify anything.  For instance, her grandmother died the same day as Daniel's funeral.  Although she didn't know all the details of Daniel's final moments nor what drugs he died of, she felt he was doing more than snorting as his bruised and puffy hands indicated he was shooting up as well.  But she knew nothing of twins in the family or any secret regarding twins. 

There was other information the relative couldn't verify because she wasn't privy to it.  But for the most part I thought I got some good verification.

Love and light,

excellent retrieval Jeff, very good verification also. I remember how it is to get rotes..they come with confusion, but you sorted it out well. I noted negative energy does enter the body where our weakest points seem to be but it can be cleared very fast, then later it becomes instantaneous I suspect. I felt very good reading about Daniel going to the hospital from the park with the warm sun. I think the sun is healing too.

Alysia,

Yes.  I noted the sun working on Daniel too.  Thanks for the encouragement.  The verification is encouraging.  As you know, when you're starting out the verification comes in bits and pieces.  You do get some, but since you're brought to the person/people by Helpers, it can be difficult to verify.

So it's nice to have that verification but it really serves more as a way to measure how well you're balancing the perceiver/interpreter.  Like Gordon, I'm at the point I'm moving away from needing verification to prove that it's real.

Also, I haven't done as many retrievals in the past two years as I did when I started.   But I enjoy helping others this way and enjoy interacting with the Helpers and Guides I've met.  They always seem to have surprises up their sleeves.

So I'll probably be doing more now.

Thanks for the support.

Love and light,

Jeff;
What a great retreival and validation!
Those are the retreivals stories that i miss, and it's a must for beginners and all of us alike to know that it is possible to do it with validation, even if it take time to get validation.
My hat to you my friend.

Thank you for sharing and posting it...
With Love
Romain

   

Marilyn, Romain, Sydney and Gordon,

Thank you so much for the support.  I've slowed down in doing retrievals the past couple of years and am hoping this will be the beginning of more activity in that area as well as other exploration.

Love and light,

Jeff

hi Jeff! my storys about the same as yours even to around the same time you came aboard here. just wanted to endorse everything you say worked the same way for me. are u my clone? lol.
I'm wishing to elaborate about meeting negativity from my perspective. I might mention that in developing I met far more negativity in living acquaintances than I ever came across out there. I had assistance also. a feeling of being "watched." lol. I mean in friendly terms. I had asked for guidance. In terms of what u said of asking for the "highest interactions" is important I learned first hand here in physical reality. since I had asked for that I received it, but for all appearances it didn't look like I was getting "the highest" interaction. I'm not making a speech here to anyone, but just sharing. What the guides were trying to impress me with back then was I wanted things to turn out what was best for me and I wanted smooth, sychronization of events. right. still talking about physical reality as I had separated the two worlds. well, things didn't proceed that orderly. lol. crash. finally, the two worlds overlapped to the extent (dreams and obes) that assistance impressed me that I did not know what the highest good was, so when I got out of the way of it, then I could be shown what the highest good was for all concerned. whew. almost got steamrolled a couple of times. lol. ever see those cartoons where the character is flattened, and they get up and become 3 dimensional again? that was me back in 2002. I finally managed to allow the highest good by admitting I didn't know what it was and I haven't stopped laughing since. is why I joke around with the guides and tell them they are always pulling a fast one on me and they get a kick out me too.  I always joke with them and say, hey! I knew that already, and they say, yea, right! fondly, alysia
