“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We are very interested to see how you are going to enjoy the feeling of liberation when you release yourselves from the limitations that you have placed upon yourselves. This experience is one that you only get to have once, because you will never move from such a place of limitation to such a place of liberation. It’s not possible in any of the other dimensional shifts that you will make on your journey back to Source.

The agreement that you made to be third, and now fourth, dimensional before you incarnated is one that you did not take lightly. It is one that you knew would be the ultimate challenge of existence, and now that you are closing in on letting go of all of that limitation, we can feel the excitement and the enthusiasm within you.

We want you to know that the freedom from limitation that we are talking about has nothing at all to do with money, borders, governments, or even the cabal/illuminati/whatever name they are being called in this moment. You will be the ones who lift the veil, and that will occur in the moment you truly recognize that you are infinite and eternal beings of light and love.

When you start living that truth in every moment, then nothing about your economy can keep you down. No chemtrail is strong enough to lower your vibration, and there is nothing that anyone can do, who is in one of those positions of power, that will be able to put the limitations back on you.

One of the greatest illusions that you are living under is that people outside of you have any sort of control over you. They do not decide for you whether you are in your hearts or not. That is all on you, and that is the freedom that you seek.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

By Spiritual Author, James Mahu

Excerpt from the book, Quantusum, written by James Mahu, Chapter 41: The Seventh Door

(James Mahu has his own unique way of interpreting the nature of Being and Creation. Still, hidden within his preferred form of symbolism is the same message, the path to inner connection and knowing is subtle and personal. “Be still and know.” – Pete)

“What did you mean earlier when you said Sonvertos have an innate access to the Creator’s subtle wisdom?”

Uncle looked away for a short time, glancing at the prairie in the far distance. “Sonvertos are human, as I said, and all humans have the power to communicate with their Creator—and I mean the Creator of their spiritual natures… their immortal souls. Sonvertos incarnate to this world for only that reason. They’re structured to communicate the simplest truths which can then be embodied in behaviors that are aligned with the Creator. They’re not interested in intellectual complexities. They’re not interested in impressing anyone. They simply know, usually at an early age, that they’re in a human body for the purpose of sharing a simple, but vital message.

“The message can come in various forms, but one element that’s consistent is that it’s not owned by anyone. No clubs, fraternities, organizations, none of the usual trappings of a hierarchical system. If you see such a thing, it’s not from the Sonverto, maybe a misguided follower wanting to grab some ego gratification or power, but not a Sonverto. This is how you can tell them apart from the Controllers.

“In my world, we know a good medicine man if he lives in a simple shack, has a good family, is generous with his belongings, and dresses without any pretense even when he performs ceremonies. He never takes credit for his healings or good work because he knows that he’s a conduit of the Creator, the Wakan Tanka and nothing more.

“Sonvertos contemplate the Great Mystery, but more than this, they don’t simply read books and acquire their knowledge from others. They read nature, they read energy, they read the seventh direction.”

“What’s the seventh direction?”

“You have your usual directions: east, west, south and north. And you have your sky, which is up, and your earth, which is down. That’s six directions. The seventh direction is within. It is the most important. The Controllers focus on controlling the six directions, while the Sonvertos focus on opening humanity to the seventh direction.”

“Why?”

Uncle smiled. “Because it’s the one place the Controllers can’t control.”

“Why can’t they control the seventh direction, if they can control the other six?”

“Because the seventh direction is the sacred way in which the Creator—the Great Mystery moves into the physical universe. The movement is always one-to-one. Creator to individual. Some people have allowed the Controllers to substitute their own image of a God, in effect, replacing the Great Mystery with the small faith. It’s not so much control as it is a form of magic like a shell game. It’s all about distraction.

“Controllers are very good at two things: one, forming distractions so people grow to be predictable and easy to manage; and two, providing substitutions for the Real that, over time, become real to most people.”

“I don’t understand,” I said, “why don’t people stop them, or boot them off our planet, or seal the passages they use to get into our world?”

Kohana touched my arm gently. “One thing Nammu told you is true; they are a very ancient race. They operate in a different spacetime, and the oldest of our records show them to be our gods… they know all about us, because they’ve created the game in which we play, and they’ve been observing us since we began on this planet. We can’t simply put the genie back into its bottle and toss it into space and wipe our hands of them.

“The Controllers may have created the game that humanity plays, but there is a bigger game being played out than one planet and a collection of races we call humanity. In this bigger game there’re larger players, more at stake, and this is where we focus. We don’t try to battle the Controllers, we honor them and their role, we avoid their distractions, and we withdraw our energy from them.”

“How can you honor them? If they’re anything like Nammu, they’re a bunch of sophisticated thugs and nothing more.”

Uncle cleared his throat as if attracting my attention. “Honor is our word for accept. If we battle them, then we’re trying to control the Controllers. We become like them. We don’t want to control anything, even the seventh direction.”

“But if they’ve created the game,” I asked, “and that game includes war, the destruction of earth’s resources, genocide… is the only option to roll over and let them continue with their evil?”

“It’s not the only option,” Uncle replied, “some will battle the pawns of the Controllers—the human face, but these are not the real Controllers. The real manipulators can’t be battled. They’re invisible. They live out of our reach, so why would we battle their pawns? We can only teach about the seventh direction. That is why we’re here.”

“It sounds so passive…” I whispered.

“It’s passive only when you think in terms of battle,” Kohana said. His tone slightly irritated. “We actively teach. We actively show people how to live aligned to nature. We actively demonstrate how to connect with our Creator. People must have the desire to awaken; we can’t force them to wake up.”

“And where do they get this desire?” I asked. “Everything you’ve said about the Controllers is that they’ve deceived us and kept us distracted. So where do people get the desire to even consider the seventh direction?”

Kohana looked to Uncle with a face of quiet frustration.

“The Creator of our universe is wise, do you agree?” Uncle asked.

“If some intelligence created the universe,” I replied, “it would have to be intelligent on a whole different scale. So, yes, if there’s a Creator of our universe, it would have to be wise.”

“If our Creator is wise,” Uncle said, “does it also make sense that its intelligence would create attractions for the seventh direction?”

“Yes…” I said tentatively.

“These attractions are in mythology, religion, philosophy, poetry, art, nature, even science and technology. The attractions are everywhere, just as the distractions of the Controllers are everywhere. They are competing forces for the attention of a human mind and heart.”

“What about the soul?”

“The soul is not distracted. The soul waits.”

“For what?”

“To see what the mind and heart choose.”

“And if they choose the attractions?” I asked.

“Then the soul engages in the mind and heart of the individual and becomes an active partner of the individual.”

“And if they choose distractions?”

“The soul waits for the opportunity to show itself. It’s like a man and a mirror in the forest. The man walks a hundred different paths in the forest, and one day he notices some movement in his side vision, and he turns to see a reflection of himself. If he walks a single step one way or the other, his reflection is gone. It is only when the man is in a precise place that he notices his reflection in the mirror.

“This is the way of the seventh door.”

“You changed to door instead of direction,” I pointed out.

Uncle nodded, but remained silent.

“What is this precise place?”

“For everyone it’s different. It’s part of the Great Mystery how the Creator attracts each individual. It can be a dream, a night sky, a person’s story… .” I felt Uncle look deep into my eyes. “It can be a bear… but how it’s done is without formula or a crystallized process. It’s organic, evolving moment to moment, lightly guided, and each step is a preparation.“

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have been exploring the possibilities that are in front of humanity at this time, and we can see how many choices you have to move to a better feeling timeline. We see that the current state of affairs on planet Earth is actually urging you to choose one of those better feeling timelines. But the way to access those timelines is not to point out what is wrong with your current state of affairs on Earth.

We encourage you to feel what you feel, but you don’t need to keep pointing out how bad things are, and it actually is not serving you to do so. The solution to the problems of your modern society is always to go within, and the way that you access that timeline that you want to be on is to harmonize with it. Now, what we are telling you right now is that you are not as far away from a much better feeling timeline than you might think.

Humanity is making tremendous strides forward, and those tremendous strides are the result of everything that you see in your world that is unfair, that is downright wrong. It is all there to act as a catalyst for each of you to get within and to find what it is that you want. Now, we are speaking especially to those of you who are awakened, because you know how to do this.

You knew the moment you realized that you could create your reality that a better world was possible. You knew that you didn’t need to rely on politicians, governments, banks, or corporations to change. When you first had that knowing, you got very excited, and you thought you would see change sooner than later. And now here you are, and some of you have been at this for decades, which is why we want to assure you that you are close to those timelines.

You have the support from your fellow humans. You have the support energetically. You have the support from those like us in the higher realms, and you have more support than you ever have. So don’t give up hope. Go within and find that vibration, and you will see the changes that you want to see in the world around you.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

That war is a racket has been told us by many, but rarely by one of this stature. Though he wrote the landmark book War is a Racket in 1935, the highly decorated U.S. General Smedley Butler (two esteemed Medals of Honor) deserves to be heralded for this timeless message, which rings true today more than ever. Below is an engaging two-page summary.

---

WAR IS A RACKET – by General Smedley Butler

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. In the World War [World War I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict.

At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted huge gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows. [Please note these are 1935 U.S. dollars. To adjust for inflation, multiply all figures X 15 or more]

WHO MAKES THE PROFITS?

The World War cost the United States some $52 billion. That means $400 [over $6,000 in today’s dollars] to every American man, woman, and child. The normal yearly profits of a business concern in the U.S. are 6 to 12%. But war-time profits, that is another matter – 60, 100, 300, and even 1,800% – the sky is the limit. Uncle Sam has the money. Let’s get it. Of course, it isn’t put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and "we must all put our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump, leap, and skyrocket – and are safely pocketed.

Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people. The average pre-war earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6 million a year. Now let’s look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. $58 million a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950%.

Take one of our steel companies. Their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6 million. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49 million a year! Or, let’s take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105 million a year. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240 million. Not bad.

They sold your Uncle Sam 20 million mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France! There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. When the war was over some 4 million sets of equipment – knapsacks and the things that go to fill them – crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them.

If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. Their profits were as secret as they were immense.How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secretsnever become public – even before a Senate investigatory body. It has been estimated that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52 billion [nearly $1 trillion with inflation]. Of this sum, $39 billion was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16 billion in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16 billion in profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

WHO PAYS THE BILLS?

Who provides these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them – in taxation. But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill. If you don’t believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran’s hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, I visited 18 government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men – men who were the pick of the nation 18 years ago. Mortality among veterans is three times as great as those who stayed at home.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the offices, factories, and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded. They were made to "about face," to regard murder as the order of the day.They were put through mass psychology and entirely changed. We trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed. Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face!" This time they had to do their own readjustment. We didn’t need them any more. Many of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that their ships might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure."

HOW TO SMASH THIS RACKET!

Well, it’s a racket, all right. A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can’t end it by disarmament conferences. You can’t eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can’t wipe it out by resolutions. Steps must be taken to smash the war racket. We must take the profit out of war. And we must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.

I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war. Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany. In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly? Money.

An allied commission came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group: "There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars. If we lose (and without the help of the US we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money. So…"

Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, America never would have entered the war. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off, they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars." Very little has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars. Disarmament conferences don’t mean a thing. At all these conferences, lurking in the background are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not seriously limit armaments. So … I say, TO HELL WITH WAR!

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

You are discovering the path that works best for you. You are not discovering the one true path that you are then meant to shout about from the rooftops so that everyone else can enjoy that same certainty that you have about your path. You are not here on Earth now to walk the path of someone else either. You are creating the path as you go, and that is as it is supposed to be, because you are doing something that is unprecedented.

You are shifting from the third dimension to the fifth dimension on a planet that is doing the exact same thing. You are also part of a universal shift, which means that we are all shifting together. We often tell you about how we are examining this, discovering that, and exploring something else because we are also making this up as we go, and we are ninth dimensional.

If this was a paint-by-numbers sort of situation, it would be less exciting. It would bring less experience to Source, and therefore, it would be somewhat pointless. But because we are all making this up as we go, it is fun, and it is new, and it is definitely worth the journey of discovery that we are all on together.

We make suggestions to you, but we are not dealing in absolutes here. We want you to go out there and discover what it is that you want to experience, and then we want to see you create that experience as a part of your own journey of ascension. And of course we want to be a part of it as much as we can, but ultimately, you are all in the driver’s seat. You are the rock stars of this universal ascension journey, and we are all so impressed and thrilled by the progress that we see in humanity.

So please respect yourselves enough to know that you have everything that you need within you to create the path that will give you the best possible experience of this ascension journey.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have been intrigued by the recent uptick in the number of humans who are exploring the different ways that you have of connecting to other beings. There has been an increased awareness, and an increased interest in extra-terrestrial life and in the connections that you can make to non-physical beings as well. More and more of you are exploring your ability to make those connections

Rather than seeing others do it and assuming that they have some sort of special power or gift, you are exploring your own abilities, and we are very pleased to see the results of those explorations. Of course, more and more other beings are reaching out to you as well. So for example, you’ll have a sighting of a ship, or you’ll have a dream where you are interacting with e.t.s, angels, ascended masters, faeries, and any other beings that are reaching out to you.

We see an increased interest in dragons, mermaids, and unicorns. We know that the realm that once seemed imaginary to you now is becoming very real. And since there are many paths to awakening your consciousness, this path of connection to other beings is not only becoming more well traveled, but it is also becoming more inclusive.

The more you can recognize that these connections exist, the better. The more you can celebrate the diversity that you have there on Earth, the better. The more inclusive you can be of others, regardless of what form their spirituality takes, the better. You are all unique, and your paths to knowing the truth of who you are are all very different.

So we encourage you to keep seeking those connections, and we are of course amongst the groups and the beings who are reaching out to all of you.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

“Bring yourselves to the understanding that there is no real tomorrow and there is no real yesterday. They are all just parts of the same now moment. So as you move around from experience to experience, you like to give a framework for what you have and what will occur. You are creating it all, and you are noticing that there is a sense of continuity and cause and effect. That is because you need those concepts in order to play in your realm.

But it is not really that way. It is not as if you have a past and a future and certain things have happened and certain things will happen. They all happen in the same moment, and you experience each of these little events. And when you do, you have the idea that there was something that led up to the event you are experiencing, and you have the concept that you will have an experience in what you call the future. And so, that is how you have your experience of reality. And there is nothing wrong with it. We are not saying that you are doing something inappropriate by creating these ideas. You wanted to have these ideas because you wanted to give yourself this particular journey, this particular experience.

And you will continue to create the ideas of time and past and present and future, because you will continue to have the necessity for these concepts until you no longer do. And then you will find that you can be anywhere, anywhen, having whatever experience you want to have in whatever order you want to have it. And that will be a nice change of pace for you. There will be no more waiting around for such-and-such to occur so that you can have the experience you want to have. You can go directly to it, if you want.

And you will enjoy this freedom that you have sought, that you are moving towards. And you already get to experience it, from time to time, so to speak because you notice that things seem different and that time seems to be speeding up. And you can alter what you know as your past and your future, and that gives you the sense that you are not a-, you are not on a fixed timeline that you must continue on for all eternity.

So we suggest that you play with your ideas of time so that you can get ready for the new experience that you are going to someday have of your Universe. In the mean-time, remember that this is all just your creation, and you are the master of time.”

Suicide is one of those subjects few care to discuss. What’s done is done. Right? If questions and psychological pain remain, however, is a subject, like family member suicide, really done? Is there something more we can learn from it? In a world largely built on beliefs in right and wrong, good and evil, guilt and punishment, is anyone who is closely associated with someone who commits suicide, able to avoid thinking that, somehow, he or she has some blame in the matter?

There is only one way to find out; and, that is to talk about it. With that thought in mind, here are the reasons Evan gave for leaving us and the world. There is really much more to his decision than this. I’m working on it now in another post.

By seeking greater understanding, can we serve a higher good? Can we find peace? I think so. – Roger, Evan’s dad.

Letter Number One Evan Wrote to His Wife:

The Cigna Disability decision (they ruled against continuing payments) did not change anything except my timetable. I was going to leave no matter what, for I had zero interest remaining in regards to life on this planet. Even a miraculous recovery from all that ailed me would not have changed my mind.

You know that this is not how I scripted things for us. And I am sorry to leave you holding the bag. I tried everything I could before I departed to leave you financially secure, but I guess it wasn’t in the cards. I will always love and appreciate all the time and experiences we shared together.

Goodbye for now, Evan

Letter Number Two Evan Wrote to His Wife:

You know I tried real hard to provide unlimited financial security for you before I left, but it is what it is. I guess winning a pile of money just wasn’t in the cards for us. And sticking around would not have been fair to you. I literally had zero desire to continue on in human form. Nothing on Earth interested me anymore; actually, everything only reminded me of how ridiculous human life and society really is. I had to go; whether to just shut off the noise or to create a situation worth taking part in, I do not know at this time. I simply could not soil my soul any further. I love myself too much for that. I was never satisfied with life on planet earth, so I chose to leave.

I choose to be cremated. Scatter my ashes wherever you deem appropriate.

Again, I apologize for any and all discomfort my passing has caused you, but I would have died soon anyway. I could feel it coming. This way cost far less though, I imagine. And I ended things on my own terms, which feels good to me because you know that I have always disagreed with the way things are on Earth. Be well, I will always hold open a special place in my heart for you.

Text Message from Evan to Family Members:

Hi peeps, I no longer walk among you and I cannot honestly say that it has been grand. But rejoice for me, for I am finally free. Please call 911 and report my death. My carcass lies on the side of the house near the horseshoe pit. Maybe we will meet again sometime on the other side.

The former Evan A. Peterson

*****

After receiving Evan’s text message on our cell phones between 7 and 7:30 AM, Wednesday, July 15, 2015, we all raced to his home in hopes of stopping him. His wife had left for work before he acted and returned home as soon as she received his group text message. We were too late.

Ron, our daughter Crystal’s husband and retired firefighter, immediately called police and fire for assistance. Since Ron and Crystal lived closest to Evan’s house, Ron arrived first. Having been a firefighter, he took it upon himself to look for Evan’s body in the back yard. For that we are forever indebted to him. He loved Evan as much as anyone in our family and I can’t imagine how awful if must have felt for him to see Evan lying dead on the ground from a shotgun blast. Thank you, Ron. We love you!

Sandra’s Memories about Our First Annual Trip to the Redwoods Where Evan’s Ashes were Scattered:

July 23, 2016, our trip to Armstrong Woods and Frog Pond Hollow above the park for the one-year anniversary of Evan’s passing:

Jesenia carved a heart on the picnic table and put J and J inside. Roger took a picture of it and said he would show it at their wedding.

Samira brought chocolate chip/peanut butter cookies and blueberry cake. Those cookies were Evan’s favorite.

Ron pretended to fall off the mountain.

Throwing rocks over the hillsides.

Roger wandered off down the trail of one of the low mountains to stand at the top and gaze upon the valley. I felt he was communicating with his son.

Taking pictures on the road above the picnic area, waiting for the sun to set for more pictures. As the sun set, the swiftly changing light made the sky look eerie in many different ways.

Lots of hugs….

Justina, Evan’s daughter, said “Bye Daddy” as we were leaving in the car.

*****

Sandra’s Memories of Visits from Evan:

Rog and I had purchased an 8-inch oval rock imprinted with a butterfly on it. For a long time I couldn’t get inspired to paint it; couldn’t decide what kind of butterfly I wanted. Then I remembered when a butterfly got trapped in our greenhouse in the backyard and Rog had to help it get out. He was deep chocolate brown with blue spots and a yellow stripe around the wings. When I shared that story with everyone, Laney Butler, our niece, said it sounded like a Mourning Cloak Butterfly. Then the thoughts I’d been having that it was a visit from Evan became so very real.

A few weeks later Rog and I and Crystal were hiking at Spring Lake Park and mourning cloak butterflies were flying around everywhere!

I’ve had feelings of Evan’s presence in the backyard with me several times, just as I did of my mother after she died. We had a small group of tulips, which, when they started blooming in spring, always produced a yellow one first. Yellow was her favorite color. I’ve seen my mother in dreams, in full color, in our home in Windham, Maine, where I grew up.

 

Sandra’s Miscellaneous Memories:

Our daughter, Crystal’s, anger over her brother’s decision to leave us instead of trying to heal physically and spiritually.

Several people saying they were so surprised that he would do this that he was often the life of the party during our gatherings. He could be very entertaining; often singing and dancing.

During the time when Roger and I knew Evan wasn’t feeling good about his health and life in general, we tried to spend a lot of time with him. He had a huge vegetable and fruit garden and when the produce was overwhelming he would do a lot of cooking and we went to his house for dinner often, sometimes when he and Samira were both home and other times when Samira was traveling.

We took a couple trips to Bodega Bay for picnics with him during this time. I remember on one of those trips that Evan talked about how disappointed he was with life on this planet and that he was going to leave to find a place where he could make life better “on his terms”. It was a difficult day for me.

July 25, 2015: Shortly after Evan’s death Samira spent the night with us and the next day, so we had a good talk. We knew she felt like her world had turned upside down. She has a lot of family support though. One day a group of her relatives and friends showed up here unannounced with lots of food. It was overwhelming, at least to Crystal and I, but heart-warming at the same time and much appreciated.

Evan tried to plan things in a considerate way to diminish the shock for us. But the end of an email to me couldn’t help but be shocking for a mother: “You’ll find my carcass in the backyard near the horseshoe pit.” It made me mad at first – that he would write that to me. But Roger’s take on it was that he did it for us – he was saying that it’s just my body; it’s not me. Thinking about that it seemed logical – that’s our Evan. He could be very blunt and straightforward at times!

WILL I SURVIVE DEATH? WHAT HAPPENS TO US AFTER WE DIE?

From the book, Seth Speaks – the Eternal Validity of the Soul:

“You will find yourself in another form, an image that will appear physical to you to a large degree, as long as you do not try to manipulate within the physical system with it.”

“For those of you who are lazy I can offer no hope: Death will not bring you an eternal resting place. You may rest, if this is your wish, for a while. Not only must you use your abilities after death, however, but you must face up to yourself for those that you did not use during your previous existence.”

“There are teachers to explain the conditions and circumstances.”

“The after-death environments… are generally far more intense and joyful than the reality you now know.”

“All necessary explanations are given to those who are disoriented. Those who do not realize that they are dead are… told of their true condition, and all efforts are made to refresh the energies and spirits.”

“There are always guides to help you understand your situation…”

From “Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul”, Chapter 9 – The “Death” Experience

On leaving the body:

In many cases, immediately on leaving the body there is, of course, amazement and a recognition of the situation. The body itself may be viewed, for example, and many funerals have a guest of honor amidst the company – and no one gazes into the face of the corpse with as much curiosity and wonder.

On the initial condition of arriving in the spirit world:

A belief in hell fires can cause you to hallucinate Hades’ conditions. A belief in a stereotyped heaven can result in a hallucination of heavenly conditions. You always form your own reality according to your ideas and expectations. This is the nature of consciousness in whatever reality it finds itself. Such hallucinations, I assure you, are temporary. […] There are teachers to explain the conditions and circumstances. You are not left alone, therefore, lost in mazes of hallucination. You may or may not realize immediately that you are dead in physical terms.

Christianity has believed in a heaven and a hell, a purgatory, and reckoning; and so, at death, to those who so believe in these symbols, another ceremony is enacted, and the guides take on the guises of those beloved figures of Christian saints and heroes.  Then with this as framework, and in terms that they can understand, such individuals are told the true situation. Mass religious movements have for centuries fulfilled that purpose, in giving man some plan to be followed. It little mattered that later the plan was seen as a child’s primer, a book of instructions complete with colorful tales, for the main purpose was served and there was little disorientation.

On realizing your new non-physical form:

You will find yourself in another form, an image that will appear physical to you to a large degree, as long as you do not try to manipulate within the physical system with it. Then the differences between it and the physical body will become obvious. […] You will simply be learning to operate in a new environment in which different laws apply, and the laws are far less limiting than the physical ones with which you now operate. In other words, you must learn to understand and use new freedoms.

On meeting deceased friends and relatives:

Now, you may or may not be greeted by friends or relatives immediately following death. This is a personal matter, as always. Overall, you may be far more interested in people that you have known in past lives than those close to you in the present one, for example.

Your true feeling toward relatives who are also dead will be known to you and to them. There is no hypocrisy. You do not pretend to love a parent who did little to earn your respect or love. Telepathy operates without distortion in this after-death period, so you must deal with the true relationships that exist between yourself and all relatives and friends who await you.

(At this time), you examine the fabric of the existence you have left, and you learn to understand how your experiences were the result of your own thoughts and emotions and how these affected others. Until this examination is through, you are not yet aware of the larger portions of your own identity. When you realize the significance and meaning of the life you have just left, then you are ready for conscious knowledge of your other existences.

On remembering past lives and choosing a new one:

When you realize the significance and meaning of the life you have just left, then you are ready for conscious knowledge of your other existences. You become aware, then, of an expanded awareness. What you are begins to include what you have been in other lives, and you begin to make plans for your next physical existence, if you decide upon one. You can instead enter another level of reality, and then return to a physical existence if you choose.

On organized assistance in the afterlife:

First of all, it should be obvious from what I have said so far that there is no one after-death reality, but [that] each experience is different. Generally speaking, however, there are dimensions into which these individual experiences will fall. For example, there is an initial stage for those who are still focused strongly in physical reality, and for those who need a period of recuperation and rest. On this level there will be hospitals and rest homes. The patients do not yet realize that there is nothing wrong with them at all. […] It goes without saying that the hospitals and training centers are not physical in your terms. They are often, in fact, maintained en masse by the guides who carry out the necessary plans. Now you may call this mass hallucination if you will. The fact is that to those encountering that reality, the events are quite real.

On Earthbound spirits and Ghosts:

You may after death utterly refuse to believe that you are dead, and continue to focus your emotional energy toward those you have known in life.  If you have been obsessed with a particular project, for example, you may try to complete it. There are always guides to help you understand your situation, but you may be so engrossed that you pay them no heed.  […]

There are obviously as many kinds of ghosts and apparitions as there are people. They are as alert or as unalert to their situation as you are to your own. They are not fully focused in physical reality, however, either in personality or in form, and this is their main distinction. Some apparitions are thought-forms sent by survival personalities out of lingering deep anxiety. They portray the same compulsive-type behavior that can be seen in many instances in your ordinary experience. […] They are in themselves quite harmless. Only your interpretation of their actions can cause difficulties. Now in the middle of life, of life conditions, you also appear on occasion as ghosts in other levels of reality, where your “pseudo-appearance” causes some comment and is the ground for many myths – and you are not even aware of this.

The Soul who compiled this information is unknown….

Seth, from The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events
Session 835, February 7, 1979:

People die when they are ready to die, for reasons that are their own. No person dies without a reason. You are not taught that, however, so people do not recognize their own reasons for dying, and they are not taught to recognize their own reasons for living — because you are told that life itself is an accident in a cosmic game of chance.
