• Communication with deceased loved ones

• The connection between animate and inanimate

• Everything is you; you are everything

You are surrounded on all sides by a magnificent, loving light, a light that illuminates your lives and embraces the existence of all that is.

You have recently been reminded in very graphic ways of the power of natural forces on your earth. They remind each of you of the interdependence that exists between you and what is so often characterized as the inanimate. You are in your own ways as related to the wind as you are related to everything, everything you see, everything you are aware of in your daily lives, every individual you have known, every family member, every friend. This relationship is a permanent relationship. There is no time when you and the wind were unrelated. There is no time when you and the spirit, the soul, of another is unrelated or unconnected. This relationship, this connective tissue between you and nature, is reflected by your connection to all those whom you have loved who have crossed a threshold to a different form of life.

One of you is interested to know of the journey of her recently deceased mother. She is with us. She is in our loving care, and she is resting with great comfort and warmth. Her spirit is vibrant and has with it a strong energy and presence.

Your conversation this evening about signs that connect you to those who have joined us was timely and well-centered. We can say that the signs you describe as having experienced are fully valid. There are some souls who join us who wish not to look back upon their human existence in a direct way. They feel the love. They feel the acknowledgment, but there is not a specific desire to somehow send an indication that all is well.

What has been described is a clear indication of the fact that her mother wished to provide comfort to those surrounding her in love. For many souls with us, such a wish to bring comfort, to bring closure, seems to be less recognized. For other souls, such efforts are indeed welcomed with a consciousness that reflects an open heart of loving. Whether one experiences such signs or not, the reality is still always that life continues.

Energy can be transformed, but energy continues. It is not lost. The goodness one carries in human life strengthens the nature of the next stage of spiritual development. There is no real separation that takes place. It is only a change. You do not lose someone because they cease to manifest themselves in human form. That human form is discarded, but what remains within, the love of spirit, continues.

There is a kind of consciousness of spirit. Without it, we could not communicate with you, for we would be just existing with no purpose, no perspective, no sense of commitment, no love. The consciousness that we experience is much broader and deeper than the human experience, but the reality of both kinds of lives that belong to the same spirit is undeniable.

You can feel as close to someone who has joined us as you experienced when they were with you in human form. It is always important to recognize, to take into your awareness, that there is no loss of connection. There is a clear bond that joins our energy- form and yours, just as there is a bond that connects the energy force of wind to human energy.

You exist in part because of what the wind brings, and the wind is impacted in part because of the existence of human life. This connectedness between what seems to be animate and inanimate is the same connection that you as human beings have with us who exist and flourish in spirit. What differentiates one from another is the kind of energy that is active.

Think for a moment of your relationship with someone who is close to you. You have different kinds of energy that you bring to the relationship, but that difference does not mean that you are totally separated by some kind of invisible wall. You both exist. You both interact. You both have your characteristics. The relationship can be described in many ways, but there is always a relationship.

There is always a relationship between you and those you love who have made the transformation from human energy to spiritual energy. That connection remains. You can feel the presence of those who exist in spirit, and those who are with us feel and know your presence. That awareness is never lost.

We return to the analogy of the trampoline where motion in one corner impacts what is felt on the sides, in the middle, everywhere. The distances that are observed, this physical separation, are in effect meaningless, for one impacts another regardless of distance. Your soul impacts another soul regardless of distance, even when that distance is described merely as a different form of energy. Light is a form of energy, and heat is a form of energy, but both impact the other.

And so it is with understanding signs of another life-form experienced by human beings. Such recognition is real. It is not a kind of parlor game where explanations are presented that have no basis in fact. Nevertheless, for many, understanding the connection between spirit and human life-forms is beyond full comprehension. That is where faith comes in, for faith is a belief in something that cannot be necessarily proved through standard means.

You observe that one could interpret such signs of another life as mere coincidence, but by dismissing the reality as a coincidence, one is denying the opportunity to consider even for a moment the possibility that there is a truth connected to such energy relationships. This is not to say that human beings must feel that anything that is proposed is actually true and that doubting it is turning one’s back toward truth. But we can say, and we urge you to find further evidence to support the fact, that spirit lives and human lives are indeed two parts, two forms of the same life. They are the same life manifested differently.

We often make a point of emphasizing that what differentiates you from a stranger you may come across is one of appearance, whereas the two of you are actually different energy-forms of the same kernel of spirit. There is no significant difference. There is nothing that separates any of you from anyone else.

There is nothing that separates any of you significantly from all that is around you that is inanimate, be they the rocks, the wind, the rain, the sunlight, the life-giving atmosphere. All belong to the same entity. All were created through a loving presence. All exist and interact in their own way with everything else.

The stone interacts with the soil. It may chill the soil, it may heat the soil, but there is a connection between what comprises the stone and what is contained within the soil. What belongs to the stone may in time belong to the soil, and what is in the soil may ultimately become a stone. The soil is impacted by the rain and the sunlight and the wind and the changes in temperature, radiation, human impact. What exists in the soil and what is seen when experiencing the wind would appear to be totally unrelated, and yet that relationship is essential. Each has a purpose.

As a human being, you have a purpose. As spirit guides, we have a purpose. For those souls who are not guides to human beings, there is a purpose, for they are engaged in committing their energies to the growth and deepening understanding of other forms of knowing consciousness. All have a purpose. The purpose of each differs, but there is no purpose that is more essential than another, for all purposes serve the totality of what is created through God.

Your human lives and our spirit lives will always find a connection that endures, and when you make the transition from human life to spirit life, that connection remains permanent. We say that we love you. We also say we shall always love you. That relationship between all of us is permanent. In the end, there is only love. In the end, all that matters is love.

The differences that you are aware of are at most superficial. Those differences are meaningless. When you encounter another and initially feel a difference, step back from those thoughts and reaffirm your understanding that those differences you perceive and feel have no significance. You are everyone’s brother and sister. We can say you are all family, but that seems almost banal to state. Better it would be to say you are all you. You are all them. There is no we and you. There is only us.

We are united in the band of pure love. You are united with all others in that same sense. There is no difference. You communicate to others through love. Those on our side of this transformation communicate to you through love. The communication, the love endures all.

Find ways to celebrate the singleness of creation. You may acknowledge the superficial differences, but remind yourself that those differences are meaningless. Affirm the connections you have with others.

We say to have courage to be loving. It takes courage. It takes effort. It takes commitment, but be singular in that commitment to see the you in all that is.

Celebrate the oneness. Celebrate the unity of life of the spirit and life in human form. Celebrate the communication that exists between all energies of love. Be blessed as your vision of love continues to expand.

Amen.
