Okay Linh, here is my interpretation of your answer from Peter. ( I am sure alot of people here can see different perspectives other than mine too)
Peter: Hi Linh,
You obviously are driven by something, the question is, is it your plan or is it your ego?
Nanners two cents worth:
Linh is obviously being pushed, pulled to different perspectives so to become educated about the afterlife, so this means that she has come to the
intersection of learning to distinguish between "mankinds ego" and "
trusting within the fact that she is
suppose to learn this" at this given time in her life.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Linh: How did you get to the place of not knowing (before your wife's death) to the place of knowing?
Peter: Because it was my plan. By looking back at my life I can clearly see that everything that happened to me and what I had learned before was aiming at - and a preparation for - this task.
Nanners two cents worth:
Peter had the time and the opportunity (which seldomly come together to fit the needs) to "be able to review every detail" of his own life and then consciously noticed that "
everything" (and thats a strong word) happened to him in the manner which it did, so to prepare him for being able to
handle the information which is being given to him. (You`d have to admitt not every mind would be able to handle being part such information, let alone "understand" it)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Linh: Is it through direct experience (as Bruce Moen's suggest each one of us should do) or just reading other people's account and putting it togther?
Peter: No. You can read all day long or listen to CDs day and night, unless you are supposed to become medial, you won't.
Nanners two cents worth:
No, just as a person whom is destined to be a writer will become a writer, and someone else whom is destined to be a doctor will become a doctor. If the writer can`t handle "dealing" with blood, he`ll never become a doctor, but also a doctor whom "can not enduldge in creative writing" will not write a book. So if you are suppose to "be medial" then "you will see that all things literally take you to the point inwhich this will develop".
-------------------------------------------------------------
Linh: But there was a small part of me that did not want to believe it could be true to visit the afterlife while you are still alive. It started sabatoging my mediative state. This nagging part would not let me continue.. so, I stopped trying. I blew off what I was sensing as my imagination playing tricks on me.
Peter: Maybe your timing just wasn't right. If your life plan wants you to become medial by 2009, you cannot force it to happen in 2002. Also, your remaining doubt may have indicated that you were still lacking a deeper understanding. Maybe that's why Nanner was to bring you here, so you could learn first before you take the next step?
Nanners two cents worth:
Once you have learned to shut down the "ego", meaning "allowing things to happen naturally" so you can observe from outside of the ego, then it may happen. Maybe so you get a deeper understanding of the big picture is why Nanner played such an impactful role in your curiosity to touch the subjects in the site.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Linh: I have this impatient feeling that I needed to learn how to communicate with the afterlife. Using Bruce's technique is hard for me now. I end up falling asleep.
Peter: You don't need to force anything! If it's supposed to be, it will happen! I would recommend studying this site until you have a clear understanding of the life plan, i.e., until you not only understand but live your plan!
Nanners two cents worth:
Trust in the fact that everything in your life has a higher meaning of exsistence, or being. When you begin to learn to "feel" the information on the site then all answers will start to fall into place and you`ll also understand that "using human eyes you can not force anything and trust it to be real", when looking thru "your spiritual eyes (has nothing to do with religious views), you will see more, understand more".
--------------------------------------------------------
Linh: The cds are suppose to arrive TODAY! Hooray! Anyways, I feel like in 2008, I am ready for the self-exploration of the afterlife.
Peter: Don't be disappointed, should they not work right away. Remember: Timing is of the essence. Your personal development goes hand in hand with a lot of other things. We say, there are no coincidences in life. But if you are supposed to run into a specific person, it wouldn't do you any good to be at the meeting place two years too early!
Please try to relax, try to control your ego and allow yourself to go with the flow. Your guide will make all the arrangements for you to stay on plan!
Peter
Nanners two cents worth:
Peters last comment is very explainitory. He is encouraging you to continue however without "expectation", so that you "can grow". The Guides also have different names within our cultures, they on that site call them
Guides, some call them
gardian angels, some call them
angels, some call them
watchers, and some call them
helpers. In some congregations they are even called "
aliens" or such. One day I feel we will find out what their real names are
So talk to me
