….on what’s going on here on the Earth plane. Never have I wanted to hear more from the other side about a specific topic than I did with this one, and the conversation was way too short. More to come.

My mother carried the message in a session I had with a favorite, excellent medium. Here’s how the conversation went.

Me: So what are you all doing in the afterIife? (note from CC: don’t you wonder? because I do!)

Mom: Well, it truly depends on the individual. But since we’re not in the physical, we’re our soul’s essence, and it expands.  You can be aware of all things –and some of us really enjoy being in that knowledge and understanding of all things everywhere, all at once.

Medium: Your mom calls it floating in the eternal peace. 

Mom: Many of us have to work out what it was that drove us to do or be certain things or in certain ways, and we work on that. We work on our own soul’s evolution. Some are just busy -bodies hanging around, watching everybody, sticking their nose in, even over here. We cannot have a negative influence, though. We can only have positive influence. Think of it as being a fly on the wall. You can’t watch someone in the shower, but you can listen to them talking on the phone. And, some people truly have such a hard time in the leaving that they wish to cling to the things that are familiar to them

Medium: It should be no surprise that the other side is viewing what’s going on here right now.

Mom: Honestly, we ponder our existence and the purpose for it. Even on this side and even when we understand that perhaps our purpose is to be part of the greater goodness that is all things. That is God, if you will.

Some others are young souls that just are learning to experience things.

A lot of us right now are worried, those of us who are more concerned about the effects on the earth plane. We try to come to an understanding. We try to suggest to those of you on the earth plane who are willing to listen how to recover from the events that are occurring, because the world is changing in ways that no one expected, and you have good reason to be frightened. If people don’t do the right things, the next spiritual evolution will occur.

Medium. Your mother makes a little joke about it. She says, “you know, there are so many rolling in their graves, I’m surprised there aren’t more earthquakes!”

Me: How did this evil take hold?

Mom: Well, that’s interesting. It snuck in the back door and projected itself as legitimate. It played into the base energies that some people carried inside them but were afraid to expose or or reveal because they were considered taboo. But certain energies have legitimized that behavior, those beliefs, much to the chagrin of everyone who works in the light.

Me: Is it true that people in power here on Earth are performing acts of cannibalism and pedophilia in those great numbers?

Mom: Yes.

Me: That gives me the chills.

Mom: They’re coming out of the woodwork.

Me: It’s horrible. So what can we do?

Mom: Focus all of your thoughts, intentions, actions, in the direction of healing, of what you wish to occur. Visualize it and create it. Action follows intention., And when you’re you’re dealing with others, she says, Speak the truth. She says, you can speak it quietly, but speak the truth.

Me: I’ve never been that quiet about it. Yeah, and nobody believed me way back with certain things, and now I’m watching it all happen. And I don’t look like the tin foil crazy that I used to look like.

Mom: Exactly. People are waking up.

Me: They need to wake up faster.

Medium: yeah. The house is already on fire.

Me: I was more connected with spirit a few years back but I find now that my attention span is shorter and I’m just lazy. But I want to get back to it and hoping my week-long retreat on Maui with Paul Selig’s guides will help me reconnect.

Medium: Yes, you should be able to get back to that and sometimes just by taking yourself out of your regular environment and reconnecting it’s easier, where you don’t have all of your daily responsibilities crowding in, and when you devote yourself to being a little more open. well, and especially Carol, because, you know, you’re an empath too, like me, and the energy around us right now is exhausting. It is, I mean, there are mornings, honest to God, I don’t want to get out of bed. We’re feeling all of that anxiety and all of the fear and all of the anger and the hopelessness. I mean, all those lower vibrations are so loud right now, they tend to drown out the good and the happy and the peaceful.

Me: Yeah, I think that’s right.

Medium: And I am the pot calling the kettle black. But devote time to meditate, if you will, concentrate, put it out there to think good thoughts toward the positive, to just send more love.

Me: That’s good advice.

Medium: You know, something that I haven’t done in a while, I used to take a little time and Reiki the world –I would imagine holding the entire world in my hands, right? And I think it helped in some way. It would contribute to the greater good, and I know that it helped me too in terms of being centered and balanced and grounded. sometimes I feel like this other stuff, this other energy, just literally, like, plucks me right off my seat.

CC again. So. As helpless as we feel, it’s really good advice for us all to visualize the outcome we desire (and I don’t mean the death of evil people but I do mean the world we want to see) and as little as that might seem, it actually can have a huge impact, especially if many do it. And if you practice Reiki, as some of you do, I know, doing Reiki on the world would be a big gift.

This session was not what I expected, but it gave me so much food for thought and also a focus for my feelings of despair and hopelessness.

I’d love your thoughts.
