nice going Caryn! I agree with everything u said especially about animal forms and emotions taking form in the astral, right on! have studied my various pets and noticed how easily they absorb "me." my emotions. have found the way to train them, by training my emotions, through the will of the ego (choice) and they right away are absorbing my thoughts, so it must be the same on the astral planes, astral is also emotional. btw, anyone have a problem with behavior of their pets? PUL trains them into obedience to your will because they know how much they are appreciated for their service to us.
interesting you say thinking of a person will cause them to think of you. so true! its applies to both sides of the veil I'd only add, and this speaks of our oneness, our connecting points to that.
I understand that family ties mean associations of longer duration than 10 years, and in general our spiritual growth commences within family relations, bonds, contracts similiar to karmic ties, yet there are instances of of shocking wakeup calls from meeting a person whom you will never see again in this life, who is passing thru, drops a bomb on you and it effects your whole life, and your memory is awakened as to who you are. so I would say forces of good will operate in hidden places outside the rule of knowing someone for ten years, but in general, I understand what u are saying.

I have been reading a bit "Otherwhere". there is a purification process the dead undertake, but it looks more like a dropping off the dross we picked up on this side, some stuff we don't need to carry around, maybe some useless attachments to objects, maybe some selfish choices that were made, this gets burned off if they were not able to open their heart chakra during the life. hmm..burn....fires of hell? possibly this is where we got the idea of burning in hell?
not to worry gang, I have been there, and it's a little warm, but there appears some order is going on!
lol, a place for everything, and everything in its place. tidy me.
the deceased can be contacted, but it should be a mutual thing, and it entails the healing of a situation, as in Stacys case, a healing was necessary, or to show her that she was effective, within her child self to induce a heart chakra opening in this person of such magnitude that he was able to advance spiritually to another level through her making that possible...the return was to show her of her spiritual grace inherent in her since birth, through a self retrieval experience.
my self retrieval experiences have shown me the child is flesh and blood and must be integrated into the psyche and allowed its expression of innocense although the body may be very old indeed, it does not matter, we are all children on certain levels, such as I surmise focus 27 is one such level of agelessness expressing.
it is written a child shall lead them.
I do believe that this encounter changed them both for the better, insofar, as we may say laying up treasures in heaven.
that Stacy would bring this story to us, of the magnitude of it's effort to translate is also not an ordinary story we hear often I agree.
it does seem the disincarnated are inclined to make the first move to clear up any disharmony they were a part of, so they can be free to move on. I observed this in my stepfather coming to my mother and asking forgiveness. I think he stole her house. lol, she also let him steal it. whatever, she said she forgave him and I assume he's ok. they need our forgiveness. we need to give it. in my husbands case, he had a guide with him, at once I knew, he had needed their assistance to come to me. the guide did not interfere, but observed our private conversation. it is wonderful to know these guides and helpers fill the areas out there. yet I may also project who should ask, shall receive is a working law, although, at times you will hear the word, not yet. they are doing something important, wait awhile and knock again.
when such time comes corresponding with the deceased becomes more commonplace we will see not a duality world, but a world united as one, the veil rendered, the allusions of hell dissipated, death seen as it is, a lie.
thank you Stacy for allowing us a peek at your spiritual life, I was inspired to meet you and agree with Caryn that I see beauty in you, and that we are all sisters here that I am allowed to celebrate with.
love, alysia
