Personal observations

One of the most humbling experiences is having the gift to transmit messages from those who have passed. Since this field is open for such abuse, I encourage anyone looking for such a message to check the source and message carefully, especially if you are required to pay for the message. It's far too easy for unscrupulous people to prey on those in distress and grief.  

Send in your thoughts and questions about death and loss. You may inspire others if you give permission for your story to be reprinted. Names are changed, or omitted, unless otherwise requested.

As soon as my schedule allows, I'll provide details on Buddhist bardos and Dzogchen practices that may open learning pathways.

Grief, Part 2 

The burden of life If you've ever felt that your life was too difficult to continue, you are not alone. If you feel that way right now, please take a moment to finish reading this brief article. This is a Universal Truth: You are not alone. This is also a Universal Truth: Ask, and you will receive. Please read on.

The cycle of life As a human being, you can expect "ups" and "downs" in life. If you can't find happiness in any area of your life, it's time to talk to someone who can help you with your search. During times of great distress, it is most difficult to think clearly. Positive thoughts are almost impossible. If your thoughts are continually negative, it is most important that you speak with someone who can gently guide your life into more positive energy. If you don't have a friend or family member who can be trusted to help you with this, it's time to read on.

The reality of life The reality of life is that, when honestly compared, you have more joy than sorrow. To find that reality, there is no shame in speaking with someone who is trained in finding the reality of life. Don't be fooled by those who say all therapists are useless. And don't be fooled into believing that you must pay for help when you truly can't afford to pay. You may find this help through a religious organization, through a support group, through a medical specialist, through referrals at a hospital or medical clinic. You may find help through a combination of some or all of these services. This is a Universal Truth: You deserve more joy than sorrow. This is also a Universal Truth: Keep asking, because the joy you deserve is waiting to be found.

It is impossible to say this often enough: If you cannot see any joy in your life, you owe it to yourself, and to the Guiding Force of the Universe, and to Mother Earth, to find the help you need to balance out your life. Never, ever believe that your life has no meaning. Never, ever believe that no one cares. Never, ever believe that "They'll all be sorry when I'm gone." without also believing that you, too, will be sorry. Life does not end when the spirit leaves the body. A spirit gone too soon is a spirit who needs to return. Since you're already here, give the world a chance to help you with your walk through life. It's amazing what can happen with the right words, the right actions and the right thoughts. Whatever is wrong is 10% of your life; imagine how wonderful the remaining 90% will be!
