Thank you Melanie. I'll share some bright side with you--Saturday I had a channelled session with Sitara/Lindsey. She finished life review and I got to be part of the graduation event, which I am told is rare as can be for an incarnated soul/human to be present for. I cried tears of nachas. The graduation "ceremony" magically appeared when we agreed that part of her soul work would be as an advisor and confidante for me. That is what she hoped for but wasnt sure if I wanted it as it would be a role reversal, yet probably one we have done 100's if not thousands of times. It is actually exactly what I have been hoping for for months on end. What could be better than having my eternal soul partner as a supplemental guide and confidante. We were in a channeling session--me, Sitara and Anne, when we were transported to the watering hole where all my meetings with Rama and my other guides take place. I couldn't see it but I knew I was there. And poof they closed the book on her review and she was given her home in heaven. She is in a lower level than she had hoped for due to the life choices she made in the earth realm but says there are good souls there working on the same penance as her. Part of her soul energy has been with me every day. Now that she is finished with life review and can come and go without permission I feel an even stronger connection to her as evidenced by my sleeping much much better these past few nights. Much of this Melanie may raise questions in your mind as I do not know what you believe/know of what goes on in heaven at the end of a life cycle--feel free to ask. and I highly recommend Keri Mangis' book chapters that are being loaded daily in Illumination Book Chapters. She is the only other human I have encountered who speaks of her soul's name and her human name. I was born Gregory Maidman. I have adopted my soul's name, Marcus, as my pen name. For me my pen name is not really an alias. It is really the essence of who I am. I need to get out into nature. and I get my first dose in a few hours. Catch up later. did you ever join Illumination's or KTHT's slack space?
