Hullo.

Two new posts today, first in seven years. Oh my. Well, hi.

Here to share with you out of general interest to the greater community my most recent engagement as an afterlife guide to one transitioning from the physical to the beyond. It's part of my job, sometimes. I do what is mine to do and know what is mine to do.

My training — long before I encountered TMI and, later, Bruce, is as a practitioner of the Bardo Thodol, known to the West as the Tibetan Book of the Dead but more accurately translated as The Book of Between States.

Well, big deal, there's a world of difference between being a student of it and being a practitioner of it. When you are a practitioner, the first thing to do is throw the book away. It will do you no good at all, and may even damage you and your (client). I hesitate to use the word client, but it will have to do. It's a paid gig, I'm engaged as a professional in the afterlife territories. There is a job to do, I take it seriously.

It is a cool Sunday evening in Co Clare, Ireland, and I receive confirmation of payment, an equitable exchange for services. We'd been at this for the better part of a day, and in fact the work had already started. That's the way it works. I start the job ahead of time, because when I work I'm in No Time. And there are things to do, things to prepare.

Buddhist robes, no. Candles, incense, no. None of that really matters. Don't need no holy book or chanting or gongs.

In any event my client — the about-to-be-freshly-deceased — is in the United States in a hospice unit. He's not a Buddhist. He has no care for book learning. He's about to pass over to the Great Beyond and ....

And this is where I come in. I know it's now, but I am also working in No Time. I hit the hay and Monday morning it all hits at once.

Being the afterlife practitioner carries a lot of responsibility. I can feel this one is very big as I am now present to his field. Even by my experience, I know this is going to be a long, hard day for me.

Now what happens down here in Physical Material Reality (PMR) is dramatic even by my measure as I begin to thread the path into his journey. He's relying on me to do my job.

Physically, I'm moving north to Co Roscommon and this is part of the deal. For I have a very special place — a sacred place — to be. This is the destination and it's by every standard as remarkable as I can do today.

I have been to this place before and it's been calling to me. This is no coincidence.

For there is first the old cottage in the forest. Little remains of the old cottage. The roof is gone. "Ten, maybe twelve people lived here," my host tells me as we survey the ruins. And probably a sheep or two to keep everybody warm.

The new old cottage is still standing. Built in 1913, only a single electric line was linked, and that was only hooked up a scant 10 years ago. The man who lived there lived alone. Nothing has been touched since he passed away. There are religious relics above the fireplace where he burned peat to stay warm. A rosary is on the floor of what was his bedroom.

"He was very close to the Virgin Mary," my host tells me. And that was more than two years ago that I first visited the new old cottage. There's a new, new cottage and this is my destination today as I escort this gentleman across.

For I know that it is time for this man to be healed, and I am journeying with him to this special place of healing. As above, so below.

We complete the journey .... would that I give you details! This is an inner journey ... and an outer journey. And you likely know when we do an afterlife retrieval that the retrieval itself takes, oh, 8 seconds, tops. And retelling what occurred in that retrieval can fill a book chapter!

Probably a book of material just on this one journey for one soul on his transition. But really, there isn't much to tell. And there also is.

Over dinner with my friend I casually tell the story of a humorous afterlife retrieval. And at the same time I am assisting my client, he wants to hear the story too, and he thinks it's hilarious.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

My 3D track places me in a cottage in Achill, Ireland, where I continue the work I began.

Achill is an island in County Mayo, and I believe it may be the westernmost point in the country. It is in Achill that I do my most important and productive work. In fact I was headed to Achill when I accepted the work of the afterlife transition I sketched in this thread. I just took numerous detours through Counties Roscommon, Galway, Sligo and Donegal.

It seems like a forever-ago when I met for the very first time in person the woman who introduced me to yoga nidra. That is a meditation where one holds the state exactly between awake and asleep. "You are going to Ireland, and that's an order, and it's not from me," she said.

Thus began that journey that took me through historic Ireland, on to the Italian Alps, and, ultimately, to Achill. Little did I know the relationship I forged with Achill from that cottage on the water's edge.

And it is from there I made my first journey to Acaill Bheag (Little Achill), an island off Achill Island that was abandoned in the 60s. At this moment my fellow travelers from my first visit to Acaill Bheag are assembling for a reunion there in May.

Gaia's children include spiders!

While not everything in this universe is predisposed to humans, neither are humans predisposed to all other life forms.

The good / evil binary is not a useful judgment for me in the course of my work.

I've not the vaguest idea how this became an argument?

A transition to the "afterlife" is not really a big deal to me. Pretty basic work, in my experience.

"Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"

Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."

Hello.

Executive summary follows.

What I share here are my own experiences. If my experiences do not tally with books you know (general you - my use of "you" refers to "all you"), it is because I literally threw all my books away. I share my experiences with you here in the knowledge of your skill sets and your interest in the afterlife territories, and beyond.

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.

• In my experience, there is very little difference between performing an afterlife retrieval and serving as a transition guide. If you can do one, you can do the other.
• Some humans need more time to transition than others. Some know exactly where to go and what to expect. Sometimes they can show their transition guide something new. You don't know until you're doing it.
• In my experience, transitions / retrievals may require very little time in 3D terms.
• If you engage in this work, you will know what to do when it is time to do so.
• Be kind.

If you all would rather discuss whether spiders are aligned with love/light instead of afterlife transitions, knock yourselves out. <3

How do you feel?

Perfect! That's all there is to it. Love = WIN.

Our human bodies are animals too!

I know a number of non-human animals who have contrary views regarding their own self-awareness.

If a being is in my field and I see there is something to be done, I do it because it is mine to do.

   In a manner of speaking, Albert and I are involved in the retrieving of spiders.  Just not the former physical ones. 

   Souls who have cut themselves off from the Light. I've had dreams of retrieving in some rather difficult and dark places. These places reminded me of the "Hells" that Bruce spoke of in his books. To be honest, because of the nature of these places, I don't want to be particularly conscious of or focused on this retrieval work in my day to day human life--I've got enough on my plate to begin with.

  Albert has spoken some of his retrieval work here. Some of the individuals he has facilitated awakening within through his connection to Light, were fairly negative in disposition. 

So yes, I guess we can agree on the "retrieving of spiders" in a manner of speaking.

And we all have intuition.  There are many psychics out there whom are not particularly spiritually mature.  As the physicist Russell Targ talks about in a Ted Talk talking about remote viewing, etc, psychism doesn't require spiritual growth or maturity to work--they're just other senses. And yet, attunement to Love expands and clarifies perception more than anything.

   In any case, I think I'm going to start following Rondele's earlier advice and Bruce's general advice*.

Funny Coincidences -- yesterday morning as I was leaving a staid government agency, a woman coming in nodded hello. She was black and wore a floor length black dress and scarf, both of which had large brown printed scallops, sort of feather- or petal- like.

Then in the evening I come here and meet Morrighan. I looked up the term and need to read more but at one time the Morrighan was also The Dark Goddess who could take the form of a raven. The woman I saw earlier seemed to sort of herald these posts by Morrighan.

That's all an aside though to re-greeting and congratulating Morrighan, who was here in the past and then he wasn't.

It seems that he has accomplished what we all, who have gone through the initial life-changing experiences of retrieving, could try harder to do.  He has moved more fully into the spiritual realms through intuition and symbolism and found a way to help/retrieve others who are not as adept. It seems like he's moved into a wholeness that most of us are just sampling.

Congratulations, Morrighan! I'm very happy for you!

Interesting topic.  I agree it's probably rare but I do believe some animals may not just automatically move on and go where they need to.  Like in the case of my cat who stayed with us for two months after he died.  He finally left after we thanked him and told him he could move on.  It definitely seemed like it was his choice to stay, and his choice to go.  But I agree, one would assume that animals just naturally move on without having any qualms about it.

I always just imagined that when pets die they are in the afterlife somewhere running around and having a great time and we'll see them again.  So why would my cat have stuck around?  I assumed it was to comfort us, but that contradicts the notion that animals just follow instinct and don't need a little scootch to get them moving.

I don't think I saw your story of the spider so I'm not familiar with it. 

Like I said, I wouldn't think animals often need assistance, but in a couple personal experiences I got to see first hand how it's possible for animals to react after their death.  It's my natural response/reaction when something dies, even a bug, I have the thought/feeling that "it is a living thing and that it will naturally be in a better place now."   I guess it's my way of not feeling so bad when I have to kill a bug, like those annoying tiny gnats that live in plants...once in a while I'll see one at work and I have no problem killing them because they drive me nuts, but at the same time I still believe they too move on into the afterlife.   

  Tis an interesting topic Vicky.  The way I look at pets, like your example above, is similar to how I look at humans in this sense.  It's not uncommon for people who die, to hang around for a little while--mostly because of attachment to loved ones, wanting to comfort them, give them messages and/or because people's intense grief holds them here. 

  In these cases, they are quite aware that they have died. It's more of a "lingering" rather than being out and out stuck in the classic sense that we usually talk about. That lingering can last anywhwere from days to months.  Usually in cases of "classic stuckness", a person isn't fully consciously aware/accepting that they are in fact dead, or their religious beliefs are so strong as to keep them very limited even if they suspect they are not physical anymore. 

   While animal bodies are pretty limited in certain, perceptual ways, I believe the the Souls that imbue animals can be significantly more aware and intelligent that what their bodies allowed them to express or experience while in physical (their bodies are more "simple programs" than ours).  I do believe pet animals like dogs, cats, etc can very much love us.  So there may be some of that "lingering" like with what happens with Souls that incarnate in human bodies.

  In any case, we were addressing "wild animals", more specifically in this case, spiders. Such energy forms are very instinctual both in physical life and nonphysically. 

   Some interesting points about retrieval and stuckness in general.  In a very real sense, any Soul and Disk whom is not yet fully conscious of their Oneness with Source and the Whole, is technically "stuck" and in process of retrieval.  Course, this will vary to many different relative degrees. The stuckness and retrieval we talk most about here, is related to the degree of suffering that an individual experiences.

  The more stuck, the more suffering one tends to experience. There are mature guide/helpers whom are not yet fully conscious of their Oneness with Source and the Whole and thus are very slightly technically stuck, BUT they don't really suffer that much.  They usually just have a deep and strong longing for home. 

  Such was the feeling that Bob Monroe sometimes experienced, though at first he connected it with his home energy system.  Turns out, what he really longed for on that deep Soul level, was his Home of homes--complete conscious Oneness with Source and the Whole. 

    The Souls whom are in the nonphysical hells connected to the Earth Life System, are more stuck than those whom are like "ghosts". In turn, those in the hollow heavens are less stuck than the ghosts, and those in the "summerland" are less stuck than the hollow heaven'ers, and the new guides/guides in training are less stuck than these, the more mature/long time guides are less stuck than these. 

   It ALL has to do with one's unique, usually (but not always) slowly changing, relative but consistent/average attunement to what Bruce refers to as PUL. Pure, constant attunement to PUL = complete freedom and full awareness = no stuckness.  The less clear and strong the connection, the more limited, stuck one becomes and the more suffering one experiences. 

   I did not get any of this from Bruce or his work--just my own intuition and connection to guidance. 

   

I had two cats that died in the 1980s. Within the past 10 years I've had several inbetween state experiences where one of these cats was lying in bed with me, and I shared love with it in a very affectionate way (I don't mean anything funny by that).

I cared dearly for these cats and really looked out for their welfare when they were in this world. Perhaps in some way, whatever their state happens to be now, they were showing me appreciation.

This is sort of different, I think this was a message, I had a lucid dream and one of the above cats was in it. Her name was "Lila" which means "God's play."  I had the thought that perhaps the creative aspect of being doesn't matter, only pure awareness does, and Lila became angry with me, stood on her hind legs, and threw a pillow at me. I think I was being told to not sell short the creative aspect of God's, Source's being.

I believe that animal pets are good at sharing unconditional love. It is a shame when people mistreat them.

  Vicky and Recoverer, I really enjoyed reading what you wrote--truly heart warming. 

  I have a strong connection to my cat's Soul--not sure exactly what it is or about.  For awhile we had two cats, the other one died unexpectedly about a year ago.  The other cat definitely had a stronger connection to my spouse. She had had a lucid dream about seeing our other cat's past lives as other, wild, big cats.  And like my spouse, she was more grounded and earthy. 

   Our current cat, seems more ethereal in nature. Hard to explain, but she feels less primal and grounded than the cat that died. Like she is not coming from wild past lives. Sometimes I wonder if she was a pet dog before, as she sometimes acts a bit like a dog in some ways.

  Anyways, the odd thing is that one time, my spouse had a dream where she saw me with the other cat who has since died (this was before she died unexpectedly), and her with our current cat who is more connected to me. Seems to be one of the many messages that she has received about me dying first, since I was with our cat that ended up dying.

We are all Gaia's children and nothing helps to talk with our brothers and sisters as much as unconditional embodiment here and now, in my experience.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) has much to share if one wishes to talk about the space where anything is possible. Our teams happen to call that space where anything is possible the Mirror Matrix. Do as you wish.
