Last night, I began with the intention of focusing on the tsunami victims.  I knew almost immediately that I could not do that, so I backed away..and looked for my friend who passed a couple of weeks ago.
I found him, sitting on a stone slab similar to those at Stonehenge.  His back was to me and he wouldn't turn around.  I'm pretty sure he had no idea who I was.
As I stood there behind him, a baby was in my arms.  A fairly newborn, at the most 2 weeks.  She (I say "she" because there was a pink blanket around her) was beautiful, perfectly formed.  She never opened her eyes..just lay there.  Full head of black, curly hair.  She was a black child, quite dark.  Before my eyes, she just vanished.
I came back to physical consciousness..
After a few moments, I went to find my friend again.  He was still sitting there, on the stone slab.  He would not look at me, even when I went around to the front of him.  He was very confused.  He wanted to know if he was waiting to go to hell.  He had this strong belief that one unconfessed sin, and you were doomed to hell.  I assured him he was not going to hell.
Then he stated that perhaps the Catholics were right, and he was in pergatory.  I again assured him he was not in pergatory. 
He wanted so badly to go to "heaven"..I couldn't seem to communicate with him any further.  He took off for that belief system..and I believe he is now in "Christian heaven"..

       Dear Shirley,
                             It has been my personal experience that when I tune in and see a spirit with his or her back to me they are letting me know that they in some way are responsible for their own passing, in some manner they have caused their own death to come about. I would continue to surround this individual with love and encourgement and to tell him he must forgive himself.     love linn   splinnusa@aol.com

Feels to me, Shirley, like he's on his way through his version of the purgatories.  He'll slowly forgive himself on whatever issues he's punishing himself for and everntually he'll wind up in say, catholic heaven focus 25-26, or if he gets tired of that,  focus 27.
whatever happens, you can be sure you're interest and love awakened him for the journey;  Sometimes that's all they need.  I've had this very expereince several times myself.

love, gordon
