...that it is not recommended to ask for help
from our recently deceased loved ones?
A great many people tell me how much they are
inclined to ask for help from family members or friends who have died. Just
last week, a woman was telling me about her friend who had died and to
whom she spoke every day, very often asking her for help. When I asked
her how long ago her friend had departed, and she answered that it had
been fifteen years, I could not help but show my surprise.
 It is important to accept the fact
that once a soul has left this earth, it has finished what it
needed to do in its earthly body and in this environment. It
returns to the world of the soul to join its family of souls and find
its spiritual guide, who will help it take stock of what it has learned
in this past life. Then it is helped to recognize what still remains
for it to accomplish and learn, in order to attain inner peace and
complete harmony. When that soul is ready to return, it will choose
another body and another environment in which to continue the work it
needs to do.
The periods between each life may be compared
to the school vacations that children need. Every life is a return to
the school of earthly life. If a student has not done or learned what
they were supposed to during a given school year, they need to repeat
the year before they can continue in the program. The same thing
applies to the needs of our soul as it travels on its journey.
Every soul seeks to achieve union with its
spirit, that is, to achieve unconditional love of self. We all share
this same purpose in life. A soul therefore needs to return as a
different person, in order to have experiences enabling it to accept
itself. This is why we come back into an environment where there are
people who disturb us, who will draw our attention to whatever we do
not accept in ourselves.
When we return to the world of the soul, it is
to find out what our soul needs in order to reach its goal. Unfortunately
we cannot experience in the world of the soul what we discover there. This
can only be done on planet earth. What prevents us from learning quickly,
obliging us to come back to this earth many times over, is THE POWER WE
GIVE TO OUR EGO. The greatest task facing all of us is to become
conscious of the power of our ego and then to learn to dwell in our
heart rather than in our head.
If you talk to your deceased loved ones or ask
favours of them, you are preventing them from doing their work in the
realm of the soul. It is exactly the same as going to speak to, or
going to ask help from, a colleague at work. You would be disturbing
them and holding them back from their work.
What is odd is that a lot of people ask help
from deceased individuals who wouldn't have known how to help them when
they were alive. For instance, how would a person who was unable to
manage their own life and who always had health and money problems as
well as low self-esteem, be able to help others when they hadn't yet
figured out how to help themselves? For its part, the soul in the other
world, having thought itself responsible for the happiness of others
when it lived on earth, is going to feel very guilty about not being
able to help when a friend or family member seeks its help.
Furthermore, if you believe it is outside help
that will let you solve your problem, you are losing touch with your
own inner power and you are giving too much power to others.
We all have a guardian angel (spiritual guide)
assigned to us at birth and this guide often seeks help from other
guides for certain areas requiring specialized knowledge. Therefore,
when you are convinced you cannot handle things all on your own or feel
that there is no one in your circle who can help you, you can ask for
help from beyond. A true guide will never give a definitive answer. A
true guide will help you find your own answers - as any guide here on
earth should do.
The greatest favour and the best act of love
you can offer someone close to you who has died is to see them bathed
in their light - to assist them in finding their guide as soon as
possible - rather than holding them back with your requests. This will
help them realize they have completed what they had to do in their past
life and it will encourage them to feel at home in the world of the
soul. In reality, when we leave this earth, we will return to our true
HOME. Planet earth can be compared to a school and the realm of the
soul to our family home.
With love,
