“Grief takes us through emotions that we would not otherwise experience or even recognize.”
― Barry Eaton, No Goodbyes: Life-Changing Insights from the Other Side

“Many aspects of our destiny come into play, and these can be stretched over numerous lifetimes. Sometimes we fulfill our destiny in one lifetime, but there are too many potential scenarios to generalize. We all have specific destiny points where we connect with key people such as family, friends, colleagues, even adversaries. We can also agree to meet up with certain people from past lifetimes to complete our karma with them, or to continue long-cherished relationships. This may involve members of our immediate soul group, but not always.”

“As M pointed out, a car is merely a vehicle for transportation, and needs the energy of our presence behind the wheel to put it into motion. He compared this to our physical bodies, which are merely vehicles for our spirit to experience each lifetime. The key point he made is that our spiritual energy is the main reason that the body was created in the first place. Sure, we need to keep our vehicle well maintained, but the spirit, which is eternal, will outlast the body that is allocated to us in each lifetime. Passing over is akin to trading in your old vehicle, which has outlived its purpose, and waiting for the appropriate replacement.”

“Earth is one of the lower-based planets in our universe, with a very dense energy level. The vibrations are low and very thick, but the learning potential is intense.”

“We are all eternal spiritual energies attaching ourselves to a physical body in order to have a human experience. We enjoy many lives, and our basic purpose is to have a full range of experiences so that we can grow and develop.”

“The deep but unexplainable familiarity we have with certain people in our current life can often be traced to past-life connections. It is comforting to know that when someone very close to us passes over, it is never the end, just a new beginning. We will see them again and very possibly enjoy many earthly experiences in a future incarnation.”

“John went on to introduce the topic of addictive drugs, which he described as having the biggest influence on the soul’s pathway. They are generally the saddest souls in the afterlife as they struggle with their addiction, which has totally affected the purpose of their previous life. Drug use leaves an imprint on the psyche that is difficult to remove. Sometimes this imprint even remains ingrained as those spirits move into their next incarnation, as part of their karma, so that they can continue to learn lessons about their addictions.”

“The creation of new souls is a fascinating procedure, one that Judy was able to explain in graphic detail. She showed Val an image of a light being shattered into many fragments, with a solid part remaining intact at the core. This very dense core of energy embodies old souls, and those fragments exploding to the outside represent newer souls. We are all part of the same original spirit and the spirit fragments spread outward with the newest souls on the outer fringes. Judy explained further, “When this shattering takes place, part of our soul heals and stays in spirit and another part moves on, so we go into different areas. The new souls are the less dense parts of that spirit energy.” This means there is a part of every soul in each new one created, as we are all growing, all evolving, at all times. At this stage, as my head was spinning with thoughts and images of all these fragments, M came to my rescue, saying that this explains the oneness of all life. The original energy that fragmented, creating the first souls, is what most people refer to as “God” (also the Creator, the Divine, the Source, Spirit). Each fragment then becomes its own spirit entity, before eventually fragmenting again, and so on. M also explained that new souls come from only the more advanced spirits; I found it comforting to know that spirits in the dark side are not given this capability. It also explains, for me, why so many gifted children are being born in recent years—their deep soul wisdom and advanced intelligence are sorely needed in the future to help us in these turbulent times.”

“Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting, nor does it mean that you’ve given the message that what someone did was okay. It just means that you’ve let go of the anger or guilt toward someone, or toward yourself. But that can be easier said than done. If forgiveness was easy, everyone would be doing it.”

“I believe these thoughts and suggestions are often given to us by our guides, as well as our loved ones in the afterlife, as a form of telepathy, and it is up to us to follow through. If we are so preoccupied with everyday concerns that we ignore an important message, we may lose out on opportunities or suffer a negative impact. When we ignore messages or guidance, it can often be repeated in a much stronger way, almost forcing us to take notice.”

“because contact with those on earth is difficult, this makes it feel distant to him. This difficulty is apparently going to eventually change and become easier as the vibration level of human consciousness rises and the two dimensions move closer together. The world of spirit vibrates at a much higher rate than does the earth plane, even though both fundamentally occupy the same space, which explains our difficulty in seeing the spirit world.”

“When I was communicating with the spirit world many years ago, time was explained to me as like a giant circle that loops back on itself. Perhaps it would help to explain the concept that past, present, and future are all happening simultaneously, and not on a linear path, and allows us to experience many lives at the same time. It also brings into play the concept of parallel dimensions. My brain finds this very hard to absorb, but Sid Caesar, a US actor, writer, and comedian, summed it up brilliantly:”

“Every contact I have had with spirits in the afterlife reinforces the fact that there is no such place as hell. However, adhering to the principle of “As above, so below,” there are lower levels where some dark spirits find themselves after leading violent, toxic, or degenerate lives. But forget any images of demons in a fiery pit armed with nasty pitchforks and evil grins—here the dark spirits are helped in a loving way by advanced spirits. Any “punishment” suffered is self-inflicted by the spirit once they look back in a life review with a Council of Elders on their previous activities. No matter what they have done, these dark spirits are given loving assistance to grow and develop before returning for another life.”

“Judy spoke of the concepts she has learned in the afterlife that can help people on earth create more rewarding lives, by understanding that their circumstances, difficult and challenging as they may be, are an important part of their development. We can learn our greatest lessons in times of adversity. It is vital that people accept responsibility for their actions so that they can learn their lesson and move on.”

“We all have hardships that we have to face in each lifetime, no matter who we are or how advanced is our soul. In fact, “old souls” are often those burdened the most with many lifetimes of karma to work through. We are unlikely to advance if we breeze through life without a worry or a care. Knowing that the next life was going to be very arduous, Kalingah’s spirit could have refused if she chose. Not everything is set in stone. In most cases the Elders do give us choices before we accept a life contract. Some spirits do not want to reincarnate under any circumstances, particularly after a difficult life, and may be allowed to stay for long periods in the afterlife. Other reluctant spirits are shown compelling reasons why the life being proposed will benefit their development and are encouraged to accept. If the Council of Elders offers someone a life in which the soul can have growth experiences, subtle pressure and karma can come into play, and in the end there may be no choice but to accept. Spirits are given every help in pre-life preparation with their soul groups, so that they can reincarnate and potentially have those experiences in a positive way. The long-term goal is for each soul to complete a full range of experiences, after which there will eventually be no need to go back to earth.”

“Essentially they are two separate energies that combine as one. The soul is the indestructible and perfect essence, which originally emerges from the Creator Spirit, or the Source, and embarks on a series of earthly adventures to explore and learn as much as possible until it eventually has no further need of a physical body. The spirit is the vehicle that the soul uses to have these experiences, both on earth and in the afterlife.”

“Hatred and anger are such strong emotions that they can stay with people long after they cross over, and require an effort of will to release them. There are many levels or planes of existence in the world of spirit. Although all reports from the afterlife deny the existence of hell, spirits will cross over to their appropriate soul level. More on this in the next chapter. These spirits bring their unresolved negative emotions into the lower astral planes of the afterlife, where they must learn to recognize and shed them before being able to move to higher levels. To progress in the afterlife, we need to embrace love and positivity. If we find anger, hatred, jealousy, and similar feelings too difficult to release, then they are incorporated into the karma of our next incarnation. This explains why some people seem to be born with dark energy around them. They may also attract these negative emotions in the next life in order to learn firsthand the lessons associated with them.”

“certain ailments of the heart or mind stay with a spirit and become part of its next incarnation. Sometimes people need to go back to earth to face the same experiences again so that they can work out the answers themselves.”

“Quite often, members of our soul family and our support groups incarnate before us and manifest as parents, friends, colleagues, and even enemies, to work with us. Sometimes our worst enemy can be a soul supporter playing out a pre-arranged role for our mutual benefit. Naturally we perform the same functions for other people as well. Life contracts often can be very complex,”

“just to have a body, a life, was of no significance, as our time on earth is about learning and growth for our soul needs. But it is not just on earth where we can learn and grow. There is much learning that can happen in spirit and on other worlds. Earthly incarnations are just part of a larger opportunity for growth, and we keep returning until we have had every experience we need.”

“Other research that I have done into the time we have in the womb shows that most souls come and go during the pregnancy, with some only finally committing to joining the body fully just before birth.”
