RELEASING THE SOUL AND
REINCARNATION
(Part two of two)
While life
can be the easiest thing in the world most of the
time with the right mindset, that’s not always the
case all of the time for a lot of people. It isn’t
that life is so hard, it’s that death is so damn
easy and thus it is that recent events referenced
in last month’s editorial bring us back to death
or better yet, the transition of the death
process. The ceasing of life’s functions affects
only the physical form but not the spiritual form
or what most people can relate to, the soul. This
month we shine a light on the mystery of moving on
to the waiting period and share a short ceremony
to help a soul pass there if needed. As we learned
last month, a soul can stay around after death
even though guides are assisting the soul of the
deceased during this time. In most cases, the
moving on to the waiting period can happen quickly
but if a person feels important things still need
to be wrapped up, a delay can take place while the
soul follows death’s progress of the physical
body. Sometimes after a person has died in a
traumatic episode, help can be given from this
side to shepherd a soul to the light should there
be a feeling of confusion from the departed
spirit. Karra taught me a short, five-breath
ceremony to release the soul of someone for whom
you have great emotion or just want to help when
hearing of some tragedy in the world. The
instruction took place at the funeral of a friend
who had died suddenly through an accident of no
fault of their own. I was absorbed in the music my
friend had chosen to be played after the ceremony
was over and I felt a presence of my friend
watching the proceedings from somewhere in the
room. As the music came to an end, Karra walked me
through a visualization of taking a breath and
focusing in on the individual or individuals.
Imagine a beam of light coming down from above and
spreading out over the area around where you
believe the person or persons to be. Project the
thought that the light is a path on to the waiting
period if such a bridge is desired by the
deceased. On the second breath, visualize the soul
or souls saying goodbye through links the beam
sends out to those left behind. On the third
breath, those goodbyes are returned and they
ascend up the beam free of those associations. On
the fourth breath, see all connections still left
that may hold up a person’s journey fall away and
now it is a soul ready to move on that’s gaining
speed. For me at the time I saw Sananda ready to
receive the soul and merely released the beam as
my friend followed its path. In my head I saw them
leaving happily and felt a corresponding release
of my own knowing that my friend was in the best
of hands. Imagine a
ride on a train and you have a perfect example of
the student in each of us going from station to
station with each station just another stop at
another school or life until our graduation to a
higher degree of learning. Along the way are other
students with whom you form study groups and
friendships to help get you through the lessons
without having to keep repeating them. The
continual stops turn into a blur and almost a
distraction so all that is focused on is the
station and school of the moment. The state of
death is the time between stations when
preparations for the next set of lessons takes
place and conductors in the form of guides are
along for the ride to help with your preparations.
This time of waiting for the next station is a
crucial part of the trip so great care is taken to
meet up with the fellow students you can expect to
study with at the next school. Plans made to meet
will have the best chance of coming together
because each of you will want the best chance for
growth. Lacking any sensations of a physical
nature, the drive to get to the next life and stay
alive for as long as possible to experience as
much as possible is a strong incentive to plan
well. The unwritten rule of the train is that it
stops where you need to be and you’re always on
time. I know
a number of the stations where I have disembarked
and in each I was there to fulfill certain lessons
before I could continue to the next station. This
station in the journey is by far my favorite of
those I know of for the opportunities to meet the
teachers I have had the honor of learning from and
the freedom to be able to pass on their teachings.
To witness the birth of the internet, Facebook and
most importantly, podcasts, to watch the growth of
the power of words to change the world socially,
morally and spiritually. No matter who you are,
this is an incarnation that has been long in the
planning to take advantage of all the information
ready to be accessed at the click of a button. So
what is the next step? For me it was the
reminder I will be a higher dimensional being in a
life long after this one and it is only a matter
of believing I am already there. After that, it
just takes acting in a way that emulates those of
a higher dimension along with their mental
abilities. I have the advantage of a higher
dimensional guide in the form of my co-editor in
my head so I can just follow her example and
advice but for everyone else there is both this
website and hundreds of others where higher
dimensional beings are helping as much as possible
make this the last train station before moving on
to join them in earning a postgraduate degree. In love and light as one. Russ and Karra
