Was out of town and am just seeing this now. Keeping good thoughts for you and baby both, Laynara. Keep us posted as you are able.
Yes laynara, you are so wise to stay strong for him. Children feel what their mothers feel. So become his heart strong guardian angel. I will send my angel to be there for you. She will protect you both. See her by your side and let her guide you. She is a great warrior.
Thank you all so so much he was so calm at the appointment I hated keeping my baby from his sleep and food. I should find out by tomorrow the results and I have a gut feeling they will turn out good. I had a feeling of love and comfort all day yesterday! It was a feeling I haven't felt in a very long time
Nope I was so relieved; he is strong and healthy and they said he was very nosy when I came to people ? we are going to the zoo today and letting him enjoy nature and all the amazing animals
Thank you, Layanara. Very encouraging news!
I wanted to address something that Jeanne said in another topic. The topic was Trump is an Idiot. What I have to say isn't about Trump, but Jeanne's comment that once she passes, she won't ever have to see the individuals who caused all this misery for the rest of us again. It didn't seem appropriate to discuss it in the Trump thread, as that is concerning politics, and my 2 cents is spiritual in nature. What I believe of the afterlife says you are correct. We all go-even Hitler. But we reap what we sow. Hitler went to the same areas as Mussolini, or Attila the Hun, others of his own ilk. I'm not going to the same area as say Mother Theresa, but I too won't have to see many who have cause great pain to others, whether on a wide spread scale or just a small localized one. I do believe that those who are more advanced can go down to visit anyone in more remedial levels, but the reverse is not true. Those who are not as far along in their spiritual growth are not allowed to join upper class-men (for lack of a better descriptor) at will. I also believe that many of our opinions on what we think of others changes in major ways when we reach the other side. The limits of our awareness are greatly expanded, so it puts things in a context that we just can't fathom while we are incarnate.
I have seen it twice in recent years-not judgement as we seem to think awaits, but those sort of reeling after passing once they review their most recent life and actions. My former brother in law came to me just days after he passed. He drank himself to death. He was a chronic alcoholic from his teen years. When he appeared in my dreams, I asked if he had seen my nephew yet (his son). His answer was no, not yet-as he looked down into his cup of coffee. He simply said he had wasted all of his years here. Shook his head, turned and walked away.
A while back I posted that I had seen my younger sister's overdose. I didn't know the nature of the medical emergency I was seeing, but I kept getting disaster related to her when I'd throw the cards (inclusive of the Devil which I associate with addiction in some readings)-even when I wasn't asking about her. She overdosed in late December, and luckily, my father found her in time for the paramedics to revive her. She was sent off to rehab-again. My son and I discussed how I believed that even tho my parents have both had strokes and heart issues in the recent past, and my older sister was diagnosed as terminal three years ago (average lifespan after diagnosis is 3 years), I still insisted that my younger sister would be the first in the family to die. The overdose we figured was what I had been seeing. Not so. Then the dreams started about her passing. When the dream of her being killed in a plane crash came, I knew there was no recourse (you can't stop a plane crash, train wreck, etc.), she had sealed her fate. She had been home from rehab 2 months, and sure enough in April, this time my father didn't find her in time.
In her quest for some control and stability in her life, she had sold my parent's home in the south in a matter of days after my father was released from ICU, and had them purchase a home with her up north. I had been left out of all discussions, and believed she was staying with them to aid in his recovery until he was healed enough to discuss his options. I railed at what she had done, noting she put her life (she's been ill much of her life), and my parent's on the line all for a house to call her own. She told my parents I was outraged because I was going after their money-not because she put their well being at great risk. With the strokes, and mom's Alzheimer's, they can't see the forest for the trees. Ironic, right? I talked to my mother a few times a week since the falling out last November, but the rest of the family didn't contact me except when there were emergencies. I'm now left to clean up the mess.
I was at my parent's home within 24 hours of my sister's passing to help in any way possible. Within 48 hours of her passing, my she came to me in my dreams. She could not look me in the eye. She used movie references I'd be familiar with to note she was reviewing her life, and the overwhelming sense of shame she emitted was palpable. We all will be accountable for our actions and how we've treated others.
I made the trip up north to get the funeral taken care of and to put some semblance of order into my parent's environment. I returned home for a few days-I had to get away from all the negative energy and the abuse being hurled in my direction. I regrouped, went back north and got my father through his eye surgery. Since my first return home, as I'd ask for guidance on something and as I would throw the cards, I'd get the same indications that there's another death coming in the next two months-this time my father. It keeps happening. My son even noted he had been claiming to his friends that this was the year we'd loose the entire family. I used to see my father and I living together, but since the move north, those visions changed, and I started to seeing myself taking care of my mother. Our visions change as the circumstances change. As I get messages in my readings that have nothing to do with what I've asked, I see more of the meaning of what my sister was showing me that I missed at first.
There's nothing anyone can do, I'm not looking for sympathy-tho I know folks here would gladly give it (tho prayers are always welcome). I'm simply trying to get across that we all need to scrutinize our own actions, there's no escaping accountability. I have no doubt my sister is also finding herself somewhat accountable for the attacks I endured while north after her passing by those who felt it was wrong to speak the truth about her actions. We have people who deliver message that we are meant to hear-just as I delivered them to my family. I know we all have gut feelings when we are told things, and we need to listen to them. I've been given these warnings of what is coming so that I can be as prepared as possible for what is coming my way, and that allows me to help others involved to a greater degree. With forewarning, the shock factor is diminished and this helps me to assess things more accurately and read situations or people better. I could listen to my instincts, and found legal issues that they were being hidden from me, so that I have a chance to set things straight before anything else happens to muddy the waters.
Each of our actions does affect others, and we need to keep that in mind. We'll all end up in the same place, as I noted when I started, we just won't all be at the same levels. I believe I'll be near my daughter when I ultimately pass, but I won't be in the same area as my current Earth family. I also still wholeheartedly believe that Dr. Brian Weiss is correct-we are here to learn lessons, and if we don't learn them now, or correct things/relationships we are here to fix, we'll be back with the same individuals to try again.
Brian Weiss' ideas always jell with me, too, Cindy, but I think we need to consider that we came in with minds and bodies that are imperfect homes for souls and our culture and experiences inform how we see things. Life's kind of like a Henry James novel ... if we're learning and growing, we may look at things differently tomorrow than we do today. Many people recount experiences of lost loved ones connecting with them, but how do we know that the energy that is doing the "talking" represents the entirety of a soul rather a fragment of it? Has our Western culture limited our understanding? For example, why do we always end up putting souls in some kind of hierarchy in the afterlife? Consider how the Puritans judged others and what they believed about who gets into heaven and who does not. It might also be possible that some humans act as spiritual teachers for us by being such total pains. We don't really understand place, time, and dimension. Who knows? Maybe we're all just fragments of one entity. I just think that a big part of the awesome mystery of life as we know and intuit it may be quite a bit different at the end of this lifetime, and I don't really trust myself to judge where people end up after for very good reasons ... all of them having to do with my very human limitations.
I agree Gracesinger, with much of what you said. I believe that there are teachers here who are a total pain in the backside, as those they are to teach need lessons which require such interactions. There are those in this lifetime who need to learn to forgive, so there must be a teacher here to do something which would require forgiveness from the pupil. I reference different levels for lack of a better term. Here on Earth, we have differing levels of education. Elementary, Secondary, Collegiate, etc. This has nothing to do with judging-simply a determination of what level we are currently working. In each of these levels of schooling there are differing subjects and majors as well. I think I'll end up in a different place than many in my current family, not because I'm better or less than them, but because I'm different. Given many of the same (or similar) experiences and situations, our reactions and interpretations are very different. This means we have a different basis for forming our reactions, actions, etc. Thus our life lessons must be different. I've been shown often that I'm here to be a teacher.
I do believe that there is a God, Ascended Masters, Angels. Dr. Weiss's first book was Messages from the Masters. So, I do think there is a certain level of hierarchy involved in the afterlife-but I'm not one to say who in this incarnation is a Master, and who is a kindergartner. I just recognize that I'm apparently studying math while the rest of my family are studying Greek- for lack of a better analogy.
I hear what you're saying. That's the only book of Weiss' I could never get into for that very reason, but I loved Only Love is Real and Many Lives, Many Masters. I suppose we shall all find out some day.
I love this thread and your posts Cindy and Gracesinger.
Like gracesinger, I am agnostic about the afterlife and who ends up where. That remark I made in the Trump-is-an-idiot thread was more from exasperated anger than a well thought out belief about the afterlife.
I notice that I tend to connect to people who trigger something I need to learn. I have much to learn from Donald trump. He is an exaggerated example of pathologies that exist in the American psyche. He gives us a twisted house of mirrors that shows our worst traits carried to a horrifying extreme.
I agree, Jeanne. This morning I realized I want radical change so badly, I've become a total anarchist. ... even projecting it onto the afterlife. Cindy, about the Messages from the Masters, it does relate the concept of masters that seems to be shared by people who lead others through past life regressions.
I hope us all make it to see all these changes. I know I would love to see them, but I feel like my safety is slowly slipping away. I have slowly been trying to stock up food but I maybe have a months worth.
Folks might want to read a recent article by Ezra Klein. It's entitled "Donald Trump is not American democracy's worst threat." He published it recently. You can Google to find it. It made me feel better. A good historical account of worse times.
I also recommend googling the Awake with Sam Harris podcast where he and Ezra Klein engage in some heated discussion.
I'm beginning to develop my intuitive abilities. Every morning I meditate on the beach for an hour and have become accustomed to getting signs and intuitive hits either as I walk over or return from meditating. Signs being t-shirts, license plates, bumper stickers, etc. Words or images will jump out at me. I've always assumed they were personal directives, intuitive hits, about what was going on in my personal life. About two months ago "santa fe" began jumping out at me. I assumed it was related to someone I knew in Santa Fe, NM. Then Texas license plates started jumping out at me (left me feeling baffled because I don't have any real ties to Texas). I also got a strong hit around guns (I kept seeing a bumper sticker about gun control). The morning of Santa Fe shooting- I was walking over to the beach and I saw a truck that had "2 guns/4 oops" written on the side of it and a single star. I also noticed Santa Fe and a Texas license plate- this was moments before the shooting. As I work on refining my intuitive abilities, I would love guidance and suggestions from the "pros" here on how to improve my accuracy and understanding of my guidance. How do you separate the directives meant for your personal life vs the collective, etc? Many thanks!
Hey guys, here lately I have had a fear that I won't get to see my son grow up. It brings me great sadness and depression that all I want to do is hold him close and cry. I want him to see the world one day as the beautiful place it is, not the darkness and diseases. The love I have for this earth and my family is so strong, I could imagine anything happen in to them. I try thinking of the positives, but these thoughts coming to my head makes me think my loved ones won't be ok..I'm sorry if I'm bring in anyone down. Peace and love to you all.
Hi Laynara,
I remember being a young mother and being afraid of the world and fearing the future, fearing for my children’s safety. The world was a scary place. I want you to know that of all my terrible fears (and they were legion) only one came true. One of my children was injured in an accident. He suffered terribly and all our lives were changed because of it. Yet he survived and we came through that tragedy.
The majority of my lifetime fears never came true and my children have not only survived, they have thrived. Against many odds, we have all dealt with the unfairnesses of life, with struggle and with disappointments and adversity. My personal philosophy is that no matter what happens to you in life, you have a choice to make in how you deal with fear and struggle. . You can surrender to despair or you can go on and make the very best of the situation you’re in. It’s the perseverance that gets you through; that and a positive attitude. I always prayed when I was afraid and I still do in those moments, but I also am determined not to live in fear.
Today we are living through another scary chapter of our country’s history and the world feels like a scary place again. I have friends who have become so depressed about the current administration and state of affairs in this country, that they have had to seek counseling. I know five intelligent, strong women who have done that in the past year. They are each of them doing very well now. They got through their depression and fear and are thriving again. You can, too!
Sending you much love and light.
