Perhaps their life purpose was to teach you about "reality," most specifically that our little world here isn't all there is. I have no doubt that your son's soul (far more wise and mature that he is released from his child body) can communicate with you. The great religious mystics of all faith traditions have had encounters with angels, saints and loved ones who have passed. Why wouldn't you, when you are so deeply connected to your kids at the soul level? And don't you think that your daughter might have known about your marriage to Ken not out of intuition but because she was already at some level aware accessing her knowledge at the soul level? <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this profound experience with your readers.<br /><br />The day before my mother died, the doctors were preparing to send her home from the hospital because she was recovering from pneumonia. She had dementia and told the nurses she had seen her long-dead father, with a man she didn't know and a black cat, in her hospital room. They dismissed it as a symptom of her medication. The hospital aide told me that the "other man" had the same name as her own father, who had just died. And my black cat had just passed, as well. We all got a visit. And that night, she had a heart attack and never regained consciousness.Theresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-39214786841425013092010-07-16T19:19:25.721-04:002010-07-16T19:19:25.721-04:00I am so glad to hear another Mom say they played t...I am so glad to hear another Mom say they played their kids games after bed and then woke the kiddo up to show a cool level they unlocked! I thought I was the only insane one who did that! At least one time I did that to Liam and he woke up, looked at me and said "Mother. It's bedtime. Go to sleep!" and I almost peed my pants laughing.<br /><br />Personally, I don't think you've come near to hitting crazy yet. I don't think Kate and Peter would let you :) *hugs*<br /><br />I also know how you feel about hitting an animal. I still remember hitting a bunny on the way to my rehearsal the night before my wedding almost 13 years ago. Now I end up giving my pet bunny an extra treat when I think of it and feel bad. Sort of an offering to the bunny god to apologize.

I think Peter meant something like this-when you play Mario Cart you are focused on the game and on yours and Peter's characters on the game. Lets say Peter's character suddenly disappeared on the game. You would start looking for him. Maybe he's up ahead, maybe he's behind...you get upset, what is the point of Mario Cart without Peter? Then you take a breath, focus and suddenly realize Peter is sitting right next to you in "real" life. Mario Cart wasn't "real". Well I think "real" life isn't real either. Its a game just like Mario Cart. If we could take a deep breath and focus we would see REAL life, "spiritual" life and we would see Peter and Kate sitting right next to us. Peter is with you, but just like you can't see his character on Mario Cart, you can't see his "character" in your living room, but you can FEEL him, KNOW him in the "true" plane. Amy you have a wonderful opportunity to be in the spiritual while also in the "real" world due to your connection with your children. You play this "Earth Game" for its real purpose of spreading love, not the purpose people give it of collecting the most coins, or winning the race. You used Mario Cart to connect with your son, so bring happiness into his life, not to "win". You are an amazing soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-37547062336934978382010-07-06T21:24:11.580-04:002010-07-06T21:24:11.580-04:00Now, what is that they say about the mouths of bab...Now, what is that they say about the mouths of babes?

Have you done any reading at all about pre-life planning. the concept of making soul agreements with others in your soul group to go through experiences together so your souls can learn from them?

You may be interested in a book I read recently by John Edward, "Afterlife", I'm not sure I fully believe it, but the book gives you an interesting insight into connecting with those that have passed on. Basically what Peter said, they are not "here", but they are still with us and hear it when we talk to them. I dunno, I guess when you miss someone so damn much, it is comforting to think that maybe, just maybe, they are still here with us. I want to seek out a medium now to see if I might connect.

Wow, this just brings up so many questions. So if they are still here with you, just a different reality, does that mean that they are always with their dad as well or if they are in one place, can they not be in another place at the same time. And if they do choose to go somewhere else, how do they travel.

You cannot reason to its meaning. In fact, if you turn from it, you may one day have a sudden illumination and realize what it means. There is no way you can will or cause this illumination on your own. Like Faith, it comes as a gift.<br /> And if you understand the meaning of this paradox, you will also understand the passage in the Roman Mass,"Vita mutator, non tollitor"--life is changed, not taken away. And what Jesus meant when He said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you". There is no there, there is no here, it is all One.<br /> And finally, keep in mind that there is no greater force in the universe than Love.

I think it's crazy to think that there are few possibilities out there, and that people are gone when they're gone. THAT's crazy. We don't know what happens, but I think that love has no limitations. It will reach you wherever you are and in whatever circumstance you find yourself in. I believe that loved ones send messages through dreams. I believe that the lines are interlinked between realities. We pray to heal and we believe that we're heard sometimes through that direction, so why shouldn't it be the same in the opposite direction?Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316124142134000657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-39020921974830485982010-06-28T13:33:40.642-04:002010-06-28T13:33:40.642-04:00I just love your photos.

What a cool mommy.<br /><br />You are not crazy. I am happy for you and for the reassurance you felt recently. I was really wondering the other night - if maybe when people first pass, you feel them - then... you are intended to live life apart so they fade away a little. I haven't felt or heard anything lately - though very much did when my Dad was first gone - and when one of my friends was first gone. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you felt this.

If someone wants to dismiss it by saying you are crazy, I feel bad for them. I have had my own run-ins with loved ones who have passed on to the beyond, so I know that it is quite possible to "hear" our loved ones. Whether it is actually audible, visual, or in our heads - it CAN happen and it is VERY REAL. <br /><br />I love the Mario Kart metaphor. It sounds like Peter is so smart and knew exactly what his mama needed to hear.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.

But really - trust yourself and what you sense, hear (in a weird kind of way but there is no other word invented for it yet), feel or just KNOW. <br /><br />There is no way to make a clear definition of what reality is and what, but I am 100% sure that what "normally" is taken as reality is only a small part, only one out of many dimensions. <br /><br />Trust yourself and do not place yourself in the crazy corner - you are not crazy. <br /><br />Take care and enjoy your break!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929215429239675820noreply@blogger.com
