Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spirit

glowing spirit here and he says, “Let’s talk about the garden.

prototype of all the flowers and trees and ponds and lakes and fountains that you have on Earth, so it’s much finer.” Everything is exquisite. The flowers are like hand-cut jewels. Their scents are just miraculous. Imagine the best, most expensive perfume in the world just sprayed all over the place. I mean, it’s just that type of wonderful scent that’s in the air. It feels like nature just reaches out to love you. And there are beautiful butterflies. Oh, it’s just wonderful. It’s so beautiful here. And this is a prototype of what gardens look like in the material world. This is the world, the real world. The astral world is the real world and this garden is prototype for our Earth gardens.

trees? Is that what you mean? J: He says that the trees in your world, the material world, are just a reflection of these.

world. J: Oh, no, no, no. He says, “This world is much better.

beautiful things that are created in your physical world have their counterpart here in this world. And the Earth is just a reflection of the spiritual world. Your world is so coarse and crude.” That was the guardian of this wonderful garden that said that.

“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.”

learning how to take on day-to-day experiences in life and make them worthwhile and enjoyable and make a lot count.

Maybe helping open people up to the realms of possibility.

is the ultimate goal? S: To be one with God. To join with God again and reach perfection, and then you don’t have to come back any more.

basic plane is composed of pure emotions and energies.

They are life forms which have no individual personalities

is the second level which are protectors of the trees and the hills. These are different from each other. Elementals usually deal with places. Whereas, with those that protect the trees, each has a tree or their own type of plant. It is like when the Greeks spoke of the sprites and driads and different things like that. That was much in this level of understanding. D: Do they have any intelligence? S: More mischief than intelligence, though they

exist? S: Yes, they do exist, but they exist in the spirit realm. They do not exist in a physical manifestation.

physical manifestation. That’s very important. They can appear. But they’re very spiritual. Their souls, just as your soul, are growing towards perfection.

form? S: It is part of the plan. They are tested to learn how to take care of nature. When they have learned to do that, then they can go on to take care of themselves.

All of us. You really cannot talk too much about soul evolution at this present state of your development. It is difficult for you to comprehend. But they are moving up the ladder just as we are moving up the ladder. D: Is this why humans are so fascinated with these things? S: Probably because they’ve been there. They’ve been these fairies, especially those people that are very in tune with the Earth. They are still recalling reflections from their lifetimes as a spirit on the Earth as these type of creatures.

they saw them as a spirit rather

They’re allowed to do this when it is necessary. That is why they don’t appear very often to humans. If you are clairvoyant, you can see that all nature has its spirits taking care of its endless tasks.

They just individualize more. They go away from the group soul into more striking individualism so that they can work out their karmic fate. D: There has been such long, on-going folklore, it would

fairies, as animals. But now that humans have moved away from an agricultural-type of lifestyle into a technological

lifestyle, it doesn’t happen as often.

maybe people are going to abuse the land that is sacred to these spirits, and they will cause trouble then. They will try to contact people in their sleep and their waking hours to say, “Please do not abuse this land.”

they don’t manifest as often as they used to. S: No. But they do things that are beneficial for the plants and the animals in their care.

separate protector? S: No, because plants and animals all have a group spirit. And these group spirits are tended to by these spirits that you would know as leprechauns and fairies. There are individual souls that take care of the group souls. And the individual souls are the elves, fairies,

took care of all the plants, and then this individualized. S: They’re separate beings because the group soul is not as evolved as a helping soul.

guardians. S: They’re like pixies, yes. They are like guides and channelers for the plant and animal kingdom. These kingdoms are aware of these spirits.

humanity and all of nature, but especially nature. They will move up the scale of evolution after the Earth shift, for then they will start incarnating in physical bodies. They are preparing the world for this Earth shift at this present time. That is why people are being guided to certain areas throughout the country to live. When these spirits incarnate in a human lifetime the world will have changed from a low planetary vibratory system to a high planetary vibratory system, and this will reflect their light and their lives. Many of them will come into operation and incarnate to help rebuild the world, and to produce food and have attunement with the animals that have been traumatized by the Earth shift.

What will happen to our type of spirits? S: As the Earth shift occurs, different changes happen to groups of souls. We would evolve up to a higher sense of consciousness.

Earth will be spiritually evolved. All lesser evolved beings are being sent to another universe to begin their cosmic journey again. D: It sounds like there’s going to be many changes after

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

Yes, it happens because of love. Humans showing love to an animal gives it a personality. Love helps it to separate and makes it more individualistic. This raises their consciousness. This is why you should always be loving to all creatures. But I don’t understand about those noxious creatures like bugs and wasps and mosquitoes. (He made a disgusted face, and I laughed.) They are part of the plan. Most of the bugs were put there for a reason, but I feel some just do not need to be there because they are not really productive. But after the Earth change, they are not going to be there any more.

dog or horse. There are not always distinct levels saying this is on this one and that one is on that one. There are many facets to each character. There are also those who are in earthly human form who are on these lower levels. They are allowed to do this in hopes that they will raise themselves. Some people are on the third level even after they have incarnated. They are those humans who have no conscience. They just live an existence. They do not live a life. They live less than a life.

interest? S: They do not have the intelligence to be either good or bad. There are very few of these. There are more fourth-level incarnates than there are third levels. What you would call a sociopath would be a fourth-level individual. Again, they have no conscience, but they have the intelligence to know how to use this against others.

located? S: The schools and the masters and other things, yes. The eighth and ninth levels are reserved for the great masters. If you reach the tenth, you are one again with God.

incarnate as animals. S: No. Unless you are extremely beastly. In other words, if you acted like an animal and you wanted to become an animal, you could, yes, but that is very rare. This is not usually allowed. It was at one time possible. However, it is no longer. It was done during the early days of the experimentation, but no longer. It is not that it is not possible, but that it is not allowed. If a person had dropped that low they would probably stay upon this side until they had raised, rather than

farther down the scale. It is possible for a person to drop to an animalistic level mentally, but they would be unlikely to enter an animal’s body. Once you have attained the human consciousness, it is very rare that you go back to an animal light existence because you have evolved out of that.

the humans that are incarnate would be in the third, fourth and fifth levels....

you are going straight up from the surface of your planet and the air gets thinner. As you go up, you come up to the level of the clouds and you see a cloud that is very thick and solid-looking. It is separate unto itself, but it is still part of the air. The resting place is like that.

dimensions return to the physical world to raise people’s awareness. They are called boddhisatvas in Buddhism and are described as people who have achieved enlightenment and yet chose to return to the physical plane out of compassion for their fellow creatures.

positive your karma becomes.

because that’s one of the attitudes that helps attract negative energies. If they’re expecting a pleasant experience then that’s what they will have and it will make the period of transition easier. They’ll be less likely to need to go to the resting place to work on their attitudes and such to dissipate negative energies. If they can develop positive attitudes in life, this in itself will help dissipate the negative energies. People who cross over in this negative condition are often sent to the resting place because they need to work through these problems. And to work on their attitude or whatever it was in their particular case that attracted these negative vibrations. They need to figure out what they did to attract these and what they can do to help themselves grow and improve so that these negative influences are no longer attracted.

thereabouts. It depends on the individual. D: It depends upon their perception of right and wrong? S: Yes. Some individuals never lose their innocence.

and others have so much turmoil and conflict? S: Perhaps it’s because you’re looking at one life at a time. Were you to look at that soul’s progression with an extended view; that is, perhaps 100 lifetimes instead

perhaps you would see that not all lifetimes are easy for everyone nor are all lifetimes difficult for
