Soul Relationships In Everyday Life

In a recent copy of Parade Magazine, I read about the long successful relationship between Susan and Jeff Bridges. Celebrated and admired in Hollywood because of so many marriages that dissolve right in front of us--seen on the pages of People, US or other tabloids displayed in every supermarket country wide. On the other hand, after 20+ years together, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have called it quits. Why do some relationships flourish and others deteriorate? It happened in my own life and I often envy those that are truly last. But what is really beneath the surface, and can we explain this on the spiritual level?

Well, the answer is yes. Many things unrecognized and unseen by most are at work with every relationship, every connection, and every encounter we experience, even though we may see and consider it all random. Nothing is random in the universe and some relationships which appear so unconnected are really more connected than our human selves realize or will ever fully understand.

There are many formal and informal soul relationships. Each has a certain flavor or character to them. The one between the Bridges is called a “monad”. In fact, they share a “Love” Monad. According to the Michael teaching’s, monads are usually played out over several lifetimes until the lesson is complete. In a love monad, the two, in this case Susan and Jeff Bridges, have been together and have experienced every other monad relationship and are therefore able to achieve agape towards each other. (Ah—at last!)

If we take a peek at the soul relationship Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins share; it is major karma. Karma is what they came together for and their experience together has been completed! It is not good or bad, it just is— when karma is “created” it must be experienced in both directions –in some life in order that balance can be restored. I like to say, we have to experience both sides of the coin. And, this is the lifetime many karmic relationships are being completed.

What about others? Patrick Swayze and Lisa are Soul Mates, Mikhail and Raisa Gorbuchev are Essence Twins. So are Paul and Linda McCartney! The President Barack and Michelle are Task Companions . . . What are yours? If you care to know, my dear friend Sally Baldwin, medium and channel can certainly find the answer. It is an awesome experience and one that will forever change the way you see and view relationships with others!

We Are Multidimensional

Many years ago, I read an article in Seventeen Magazine about the theory of ESP; extrasensory perception. ESP is the ability to become aware of things by means other than the normal senses, e.g. through clairvoyance or telepathy. I was fascinated by the topic—even as a teen—something resonated with that apparent telepathic connection that we all possess. Today, as an adult, I have an expanded viewpoint on the intangible or ethereal. To some of you, it may be new concept: we are more than just the human; we are multidimensional! Now what does that mean? And, why does it surface at this moment in time?
The Last two weeks, when I began to film Sally’s channeling to be broadcast on YouTube, there appeared to be an orb, a light—something around Sally as she channeled. Who was trying to get our attention? This has happened to me before, both having my picture taken, and while taking the pictures of others. Perhaps, you have experienced it also? But how does this fit into the belief of our five senses, and how do we suspend our need to understand without having to understand?
We must go to a place of trust and faith. We are joining in this human experience as very multidimensional beings—and this very real demonstration is to enlighten us—to expand our view of who we really are. We have a choice and we can broaden the scope of what life is; more than what most of our senses, our ego and our left brain tell us. As multidimensional beings, and not just the human, we have the ability to shift and not be so quick to judge what is happening in our lives. If we can recognize and know that there are other things playing out in our lives, perhaps we can lighten our view of life and not have the difficultly with the dramas and things we deem so important.
Simply by joining and expanding to who we really are, gives us the opportunity to sense, listen and partake—if we only take a minute and realize something else must be at work here If we simply observe and be open to possibilities we can open ourselves to a whole new reality demonstrated right before our very eyes! Now, how cool is that! (Visit Sally on YouTube. Can you see the Orb of light?)

Haiti Earthquake

So what has the latest crisis got to do with spirituality? We have seen the suffering and hardship not once, but many times befall this small nation in the Caribbean. All the major networks have their reporters on the island sharing the devastation of befallen buildings while the dead lay side by side on sidewalks;causalities from this impressive earthquake. On a very human side, the world has thankfully joined together--laying aside our differences and focusing instead on an outpouring of love--accepted with love and gratitude by their President.

So many levels, meanings and things elude us in our human condition, but all eyes focused on Haiti certainly will have a measurable effect within our hearts as we join and thus our shift as human beings becomes unmistakable. And love, which is perhaps our soul's true mission on the earth plane, is often overlooked, deemed unimportant and insignificant by most that have no problem casting judgment on the homeless on our streets. So, it seems to take something of this magnitude (pun intended) to make us all stop; question, ponder, and ask why? What is the bigger spiritual picture? Can we view this situation differently and make sense of what we see broadcast into our homes over this natural event called earthquake?

So I present it here . . . a very different perspective. Not to take away from the compassion and empathy surrounding this situation, but to suggest that we each incarnate to earth for different feelings, different experiences, and yes, different events that seem to cataclysmic. To recognize and know that there are moments where souls clearly together and on mass take themselves to another dimension. Again, this is not something that we should judge, but entertain, that the idea of transitioning and transitioning in such numbers with others in the collective and of our energy force has a power that we cannot fully understand and that there is something else going on here. We must acknowledge the grander sense of who they are. For when souls are able to go together--a feeling of being a part of something of great significance and relating to the whole universe as their spirits leave this plane.

This is not something we easily understand or accommodate in our minds, but it is indeed something worth thinking about and pondering. These grand and glorious souls are doing something for the larger collective and we should give them credit. We must be acquainted with this so that we can step forward and begin to think differently. To assess these events differently is important as we bring our wondrous love and compassion for each other, not merely to dismiss the event as catastrophic, but as a wondrously divine, honorable, timely and energetic transition for the benefit of all.

Annie

“It is indeed a beautiful moment when we see no barriers and no boundaries between who we are, no matter what dimension we inhabit in whatever way our consciousness lets us know it. It is a beautiful thing to realize no lines—no walls between us—we are just as one.” Annie

It almost sounds like the script from a Harry Potter movie—a death day celebration. Yet, for our beloved and dear friend Annie, Sister, and Mother, we joined together and we celebrated and remembered the day she died. Annie is a great example to us, that anything eternal is real. Annie is real, yet simply existing in another dimension. She makes herself known in so many ways to us who are still in physical 3rd dimensional form. (Usually, she appears in the form of a yellow butterfly to me—just out of nowhere!) No party could be complete without cake—and cake there was—along with champagne and a cheer filled toast! To Annie—our wise teacher—always around everywhere and every day.

I say this only to emphasis that it is this way for all souls who leave the physical plane and their human bodies behind. We know she is alive and vibrant in her new form as energy—a state that we will all return to—the real “home” for each of us!

Our Loved-Ones are Always Around Us!

To know and realize that our loved ones are always around us—even after suffering a great loss—the death of your child—is truly a miracle. But miracles do happen, if we are willing, and open up to a more universal expanded viewpoint. Maybe things are not as they seem? (At least for us who have grown up in the United States believing the memes of our culture.)

Knowing our loved ones are not only fine, but always around us, AND we can communicate with them, can shift even the deepest and most profound grief. By opening up to such beliefs and thoughts heals one and allows one to step back into a vibrant and purposeful life, able to make a difference not only for themselves, but as a living example to others!

With those thoughts, I share a quick email; send by one of our Mothers who attended the Parent-Child retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho. It was a miracle that occurred that third week in October, and Carol’s words express her healing!

The Jewish tradition for Passover is quite astute when one sets a place for Elijah at the table as a symbolic gesture—and another from the table goes to the door, opens it, to invite him in. Perhaps Elijah’s energy is already there, and if so, we can use this symbolic gesture for anyone—physical or not! All we have to do, is “open the door” and let them in!

Dear Sally and Steve,

I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful like both of you!! This was

the first holiday since Mikey's accident that I did not cry. Prior to

the retreat, I always "thought" that Mikey was with me. I hoped and

prayed that he was with me! This holiday I KNEW ,without a doubt, he

was with me the whole day!!!!! Totally different! So unbelievably

amazing beyond words! You all have changed my life forever. What you

have taught me is a gift beyond gifts! Thank you with my whole heart

and soul to both of you and Sophie!

Love and peace to you,

Carol

P.S. Go Vikings!!!

I saw Nancy over the holiday when she was in Minnesota visiting her

cousins. It was so great to see her!

Parent-Child Reunion Miracle

Last week, a retreat was held in Sun Valley, Idaho. Yes, the resort was beautiful, the service first class, and the energy superb. But the thing that I’m still holding dear and still talking about was the miracle that took place for seven women from around the United States that lost children. For those who haven’t heard, it was a Parent-Child Reunion hosted by Sally and Steve Baldwin and their non-profit Foundation: Dying to Live Again.
When Kristen, Denise, Kathleen, Sandy, Judy, Janette and Carol arrived, they were still in the holding grip of sadness—that pit of yearning grief and sorrow that consumes one from your first thought in the morning until you lay your head down at night. You could see it in their eyes, their smiles and their body language. They had been frozen in time. I announced to them Thursday evening when we met for the first time, that they would be forever changed. However, they were, as we all were, unaware of the transformation in just three and a half days. I had witnessed a miracle. The staff had witnessed a miracle. The women had been the miracle! And yes, many will doubt—and cast misgivings and disbelief but just like love and just like rainbows--it was real. If you are open –it is real.
Anything that is Eternal is real. We are eternal. Therefore we are real—existing in this body or not!
