Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spirit

by Dolores Cannon

It’s a monster in man’s mind and fear only affects those on Earth. It’s the carnal mind. The spirit is left unaffected.

And suddenly I was there, in the place where my star was. And I felt like I was interwoven into fabric. In that instant I knew that we were all totally connected and that no matter what happened we could not be destroyed. Even if something came and ripped the fabric, the fabric would hold. I knew that I could not be destroyed, nor could anyone else. That I was as I was as I am.

When you go through something on Earth, be it good, be it bad, the important thing is your attitude, the way you accept it. How do you handle the defeats? How do you handle your victories? How do you deal with situations and problems? How do you accept failures? Are you gracious? You know, your life situations. All these are the sum total of who and what you are. And self-deception, that’s a big one. People can’t be honest and can’t look at things. They make excuses for why they do things and justify it and twist it until they’ve lost all truth.

Whatever is in your mind sometimes comes about. Your spirit knows what things you need to learn and then it creates situations without you really being aware of what’s going on. But it all happens for reasons. When I’m there on Earth I won’t really know, I won’t really decide. I’ll just think they’re happening by chance. But they’ve all been thought about and planned out for purposes.

There is in each of us a far greater part than we are aware of. Each of us are tips of our own iceberg and it is this iceberg which chooses our destiny.

For you are the master of your own destiny, of your own house, of your own vessel or receptacle or any other way you wish to perceive the concept of a spirit being in physical body. You are the master of your body and you are the master of your destiny. You create that which is manifest in front of you. You are co-creator here.

That which you find in front of you is of your own making and creation, whether on the physical or spiritual planes. All must attune to this responsibility for all are co-creators of their manifest destiny.

no matter whether we wish to or not, everyone is constantly influencing or affecting others everyday in many ways. The lessons are gained in how we accept and handle these things, or in how we reject and deny them.

“Take care now. Feel happy and high in love and light. Bless you and let the white light surround you and make you feel safe and happy.”

We are ascendant beings. We are forming a ladder. There are others whose entire purpose is stationary. This is similar to people in a marathon. There are those at certain points who do nothing but hold the water and give it to the runners as they pass. These runners are ascendants, if you will, from the beginning to the end. Angels are the assistants who do not climb but merely serve. Our purpose is to start at the beginning and run until we get to the finish. However, there is no first or last place. All who cross the finish line are winners in that race.

We must go through all the series of development: gas, matter, plant, animal, human, spirit, divine.

Religion was corrupted into a political or power play, such that what was spiritual became a tool for the sublimation of the masses in order to control their behavior. There are in their embellishments some aspects which would perhaps be true in a very elementary sense. However, the overall picture is grossly misunderstood at this time by most on the physical plane.

People have bad lives because they’re not dealing with the problems that are thrust out, problems that they themselves help to choose. They think that because they have no control over what happens to them, why should they have to work at it. Life has to be worked at; it can’t be just skated through from day to day.

By being close minded you lose much of the experience of life. You should never rely on one path as being the way, the ultimate. For in all paths there lies truth and in all paths there lies falsehood. You must spend your life sifting through them to find what is your truth—to discover what you know to be truth for yourself. It does not have to necessarily be truth for others and you must accept this. It is not an easy path to be different.

always been organized. That is part of its basic structure. It is this basic organization which goes down to the very, very tiniest limits of its structure that cause things to appear in order and to be organized.

One of the major things in the next stage of human development is to realize that everyone is in charge of their own fate. That what they desire to come to pass is what comes to pass. Things that appear to happen out of the clear blue are a result of past causes, past thoughts or what-have-you that were sent out.

We ask that you take a more open-minded view and consider God as merely an observer of His children in their tasks. The children are doing the tasks. God simply is. God is, period. The children are doing; God is. The concept of God is the sum of all, of everything. We are God. We are collectively God. We are individual pieces of God. God is not one, but God is all.

First of all, God is not separate from us. He is intimately joined with us. Perhaps it would clarify to understand the blood system in the human body, which is made up of individual cells or aspects. The system itself could not be whole without the individual hemoglobins and so forth. However, each hemoglobin is not complete without being in the system. Thus all is one and one is all. Each cannot exist without the other.
