The Letter

Rays of Wisdom - Comfort for the Bereaved - Letter To A Bereaved Friend

Dearest Friend,

It is only natural that, when we are witnessing the departure of a loved one from this plane of life, the more thoughtful ones in our midst begin to ask themselves questions like: ‘What is the sense and purpose of all our coming and going in and out of this life? Where do we come from and where are we going to? What is the point of all our striving to achieve when everything is wiped out and lost at the end? Or could there be some kind of meaning behind it? If so, what?’

This is how during periods of great sorrow and sadness, especially bereavements, even the most closed off human hearts begin to open up. Small cracks appear in the emotional coat of armour we normally wear and through them God’s light, wisdom and understanding, begin to penetrate our consciousness, for it is a time when God and the Angels are drawing very close to us. And to those who are ready to receive them, they bring an increased understanding of life and its processes, in particular death. This is what all my writings are about and some of them I am sharing with you here. God and the Angels are writing them and bringing them to you – through me.

My deepest sympathies, loving thoughts and good wishes are with you at this sad time of saying goodbye, loss and transformation. For the healing of the deep inner soul wounds this has left behind in you, I would like to hold your hand for a while to help you understand that this kind of farewell is but a temporary one and by no means forever, as to this day many believe is the case. I am reaching out to you in the hope that through what you are finding here you may gain a fresh perspective of what is currently moving through your life.

Whenever I hear about someone’s passing on, especially in the case of a young person or when it happens under tragic circumstances, I feel a strong urge to do something that will help them in some way. My daily walk takes me past our local cemetery and I am always deeply moved by the sight of freshly dug graves, ready to take someone’s mortal remains, or a newly appeared mound of Earth with masses of flowers piled on top.

These days, even when I hear about particularly tragic circumstances in which someone died, does no longer upset me the way such events once used to do. This is because I now know in the deepest innermost recesses of my being that the spirit and soul of the one who has passed on – no matter how their departure came about – rests safely in the hands of God and the Angels. But my heart and loving thoughts continue to reach out to those who are weeping and mourning. Whenever necessary, I stop for a moment to lift them into the light of the Highest Star and call to the Angels to draw close to them to bring healing and peace to their souls through a better understanding of the processes of life and its spiritual background.

Even when I know the mourners personally, sending someone my deepest sympathies at a time like this seems hopelessly inadequate. I long to do more, something that really eases their pain. This letter is the result – in the course of many years it has grown from small the smallest beginning to its present size. By the time it reaches you, you may have completed the first raw and most painful stage of your grieving process, so that your inner wounds are already beginning to heal.

In that case you may be ready to take stock of the changes the loss of your loved one has brought into your life. That you have been guided to this site and are taking the time to read this, to me, are an indication that by now you are likely to be ready for what is now before you. If you feel that you are, I suggest that you take a printout of this letter and make yourself comfortable with it somewhere where you will be undisturbed, to read about the spiritual value of some of the lessons that all bereavements contain for those left behind who are willing to pay attention. What follows is what the living spirit within me – my inner guide and teacher – moves me to tell you.

I believe that whenever the moment of someone’s departure from the earthly plane has been reached, no matter under what circumstances it comes about, that’s always the right moment. And that’s going to apply as much to you and me, as well as anyone else. The way I understand life now, is that it is by no means a one-off affair, the way our world’s old religions. Nobody is snuffed out like a candle, each time one of their earthly lifetimes has reached its end. Every human being’s existence consists of a long drawn out developmental journey that is constantly taking each individual, the whole of humankind and our world, forwards and upwards on the great evolutionary spiral of all life.

The essence of every one of us is spirit/soul and they are eternal and immortal, the same as God. Only when the purpose of each lifetime has been fulfilled are our spirit/soul allowed to go home, independent of at what age and in what manner the departure comes about. To my mind, no death can be described as ‘untimely’, because that does not do justice to the infinite wisdom and love with which our Creator lovingly takes care of every aspect of the development of every human being and our world.

Our Creator is the Divine Trinity of the Great Spirit, the Father/Mother of all life and their only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ’s spirit and light, is our Creator’s Divine Trinity. And the Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle, the throne of God, are the executors of the Divine great evolutionary plan for the whole of Creation. They are responsible for the development of every human being who ever took part in earthly life, the whole of humankind and our world. This is the ultimate authority who decides about everything that, in keeping with the great plan, needs to happen in the whole of Creation. They are the only ones who have any true and everlasting power. Nothing is beyond or outside of their will and wishes. And no soul’s departure from earthly life ever takes place without their consent. This is true for any kind of death, including suicide. Find out more about this by following the relevant link at the end of this chapter.

The only part that dies when one of us departs from the earthly plane is their physical body. But that’s merely an outer shell which every spirit/soul requires for functioning and getting around in our world, for one lifetime only. Ever more of us these days are becoming aware that leaving our physical body behind does not mean we are dead. Because the essence of everyone’s being is spirit/soul, we can and will never die because just like God we are eternal and immortal. At the end of each earthly lifetime, one of the Angels of Death returns our spirit/soul to the world of spirit or light. It is humankind’s true home, the inner spiritual background of our world, from we emerge at the beginning of each new lifetime and return to as soon as it has run its course.

 Whenever one of our loved ones has left this plane, there is no need to think that they have gone to a place somewhere ‘up above or out there’. Even though the spirit realm is invisible to earthly eyes, it is there nonetheless. Everything that appears in our world, the outer plane, first has to become manifest on its inner counterpart. Without the inner, there would be no outer; there would be no you and me. And that’s why there is no need to ever talk of those whose physical being has left us, as if they had disappeared altogether. They most certainly have not.

Our world is not really a home. It’s but a temporary staying place, a school and place for growing in wisdom and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. That’s how every human being’s consciousness slowly but steadily expands. Each can only do this from their own experiences. Nobody can do it for us. And everything that ever happens on this plane does so for a wise higher purpose that’s meant to teach those involved something.

And because I get much comfort from music, especially when it is accompanied by words that really speak to my heart, this song is now winging its way to you, in the hope that it might do the same for you.

Going Home

Rays Of Wisdom - Comfort For The Bereaved - Going Home

Going home, going home.
We’re all going home.
Quiet like, some still day,
That’s how everybody goes home
Into the spirit world.

It’s not far, just close by,
Through an open door.
Work all done, cares laid by,
Pain and fear no more.

Mother’s there, expecting us,
Father’s waiting too.
Angels and helpers gathered
With the friends we know.

Morning Star lights the way,
Earth-bound sorrows done.
Shadows gone, break of day,
Real life’s just begun.

There’s no break, there’s no end ,
Just a moving on.
Wide awake, with a smile,
Going on and on . . .

I’m just going home!
Without being aware of it,
I have gone this way many times before.
And it’s good to know that none of us
Ever has to do so on their own.
One of the Angels of Death held our hand and
Took us back home into the world of spirit or light.
From which every one of us emerges
At the beginning of a new earthly lifetime.

God and the Angels always have been and
Forever will be as much part of us
As we are part of them.
And wherever our evolutionary pathway
May still have to take us,
There’s no need to be afraid of anything.
They will forever be accompanying us
And showing the way.
We shall always be safe because
In all Eternity our life will rest
In the loving embrace of the
Great Father/Mother of all life and
Their only born Son/Daughter,
The Universal Christ.
