Unseen Companions.

I recently watched a Ted Talk given by a lady whose life work revolved around death. Naturally, she embraced some dark humour whilst delving into the nitty gritty 'spectacle' we so often avoid talking about in our society; I think because it's taboo.

Let's just say when she was meeting new people at parties and so on, they didn't want to hang around her after she honestly answered their question re her chosen career! I can't remember EXACTLY what this woman's role was, but it appeared she was quite involved in the palliative care stages of life. What I enjoyed most about hearing her talk, was the spiritual beliefs & stories she expressed with clarity and sincerity... Tales of other people's passing's that push beyond the veil, instilling hope and comfort in mostly the grieving. "The human soul provided it is pure and strong enough, can contact the unseen in waking life as well as in dreams; all that is required is withdrawal of the soul from the tumult of sensory life." ~ Nasr. What made her particular vocation different, was that she actually 'guided' the families of the dying through the stages of ascension. Pretty profound mission, if you ask me. An absolute gift to be able to help relieve some of the fear and uneasiness that often surrounds 'death.' Not only does she encourage the dying to share their visions, but by doing so, she opens up a new dimension of consciousness for the living to explore and embrace!

"Great loss calls for deep faith." ~ Lisa Bree Hoggarth. I'm sure some of you readers' have either heard of (or had) a mystical experience of your own. Perhaps a friend or relative that passed came to visit you in a dream to assure you all was well, or who knows - perhaps you're aware of an ongoing relationship with the 'dead', where they're now actually a spirit guide for you. The point is, there are so many ways in which the 'dead' help the living. And as my wise seventy year old friend Frida says: "It's the living we need to be afraid of. The dead protect us." Since losing my Mother over four years ago, and more recently a treasured friend, I've spent a considerable amount of time researching, reading, watching and believing in re incarnation, life after life, miraculous healings, and the continuation of consciousness. I've also gratefully experienced visitation dreams. (And visions).

Below I share with you an excerpt from an article, (link to full article attached) that brought a smile to my face, and remember, "you know the truth by the way it feels." ~ Unknown. Thank you for reading x

:

"It was almost fifteen years ago that I was sitting at the bedside of my teacher Elisabeth Kubler Ross, when she turned to me and asked, 'what do you think about the deceased visiting those on their death beds to greet them?'"

I replied quickly, showing my knowledge back to her: "You're speaking of deathbed visions, most likely caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain or a side effect of morphine."

She looked at me and sighed, "it will come with maturity."
