Lately I have been finding it next to impossible to get into any of the places needed to do retrievals or anything else of this work. For some reason, I don't know why, seem to be very focused on my day to day life. Guess that happens.

When the plane crash in Buffalo happened and that plane crashed into the houses there, I tried to get in to do some retrievals and just couldn't do it. Same with Aquila earthquake. OK, I left it alone.

One day just after it happened, my (deceased) daughter came to me in my inner eye suddenly and stood in front of the burning plane buried in the houses there, and clearly invited me to assist her in rescuing some souls. I did try to move toward her but somehow couldn't get any momentum up, so gave it up.

The memory of that invitation kept returning and I tried again last night and finally got in.

A number of people, women and a couple of children, appeared out of the flames and smoke and I saw several "rescuers" they were called off to the right, and guided each person to them. There was one woman with grey hair, nicely groomed lady, who looked Jewish, a baby (were there any babies on that flight?? I can't recall hearing of any) and a child, and a couple of other women. There was one woman who stood out dramatically. She came through as completely white, her entire self was white, I wondered if she was a guide in fact...but she had a quite intimidating experession on her face, from fear or disapproval, I didn't know which, and I did approach her. For some reason, I can't remember the details of all this, sorry, but thought I would post it just because it's so odd how I couldn't get in for the past few weeks. What is that anyway?

I notice the Board is quiet right now, maybe I am not the only one.

HI Spooky, thanks for that comment. That was encouraging. Funnily enough, I was just reading a Gregg Braden book yesterday and he said in one place, that when we first learn a new thing (like retrievals I guess as an example) we are really on it like a fly on jam.

Then gradually there comes in its place a pleasant acceptance that the world is as it should be and it's fine without us changing it. This (strange I think) awareness tends to make us not perform so often as we did at first.

I forget what he was talking about specifically but when I read it I realized that this is exactly what it feels like. I go to offer myself for some retrievals and I sort of just hang back and don't participate. This doesn't make me happy, I think I need to give my head a shake.

I remember Patrick on the tape the we got at the Gateway experience, how scared he was, and I think probably I need to get down to business again. I dunno though...maybe things really are changing and there aren't so many. Who knows. Vee

Thank you Toby, I sure appreciate that helpful comment! I will indeed get back to work, it would be nice to think I was being readied for something...at 65, there is a tendency to think that won't happen any more...at least in this world. Vee

Thanks Toby, that's good to hear. I am thinking about this a lot these days, as you say, it's easy to just slide down and move away from new things. I have Bruce's Guidebook and haven't ever finished the exercises in it, that's a starting place for a fresh beginning for me. Vee

Yes Vee, I've had the same thoughts as Braden had, and, Toby, like Campbell had. It's only, when you experienced something new, it's so interesting and important, and when it becomes routine, and interest decreases, you're longing for something to replace the old subject of interest, and when there's nothing in view, life can become boring again and that hurts. But I think once been in the retrieval business, it opens you up for something new, it just doesn't come like in an action movie   . Every lesson is different.

But oh yes, Vee, I do remember the Patrick tape (it's Rosalind McKnight who was the channel, weren't it?). It's really impressing. Good to go back to that and then decide whether it's time to do a retrieval or not. It may be, though, that we're doing it anyway, only beyond our physical awareness, and performing retrievals would be nothing else than simply becoming conscious of it, which of course is not nothing. It's grounding, becoming aware of your full spirit here in the physical. But I think our physical awareness is limited and cannot process ALL the things we are and do.

And about learning and age I remember a quote from Plato: "When the physical eyelight becomes weaker, the mind's eyelight becomes sharper."

I like that quote from Plato ...makes darn good sense..humm.

Maybe yourself (HS) is just telling you to take a breath..and absorb ....been feeling the same myself for a while now.. it seems to just starting  slowly again.
