METAREALITY
Some mediums have the ability to channel spirits
from beyond the veil. The terms channel and medium mean essentially the same thing, although
some people believe channels give their bodies and
consciousness over completely in order to allow
spirit beings to speak through them. Mediumship
usually involves receiving and transmitting messages from spirit, while retaining some essence of
human personality. Both channels and mediums
enter into a trance state, which might be deep,
light, or anywhere in between. They might see a vision (clairvoyance), listen to a spirit talk (clairaudience), feel something (clairsentience), know the
truth (claircognizance), smell (clairalience), or
taste something (clairgustance).
JOE PASSES THROUGH THE VEIL WITH ANGELS
One of my neighbors was a seriously suicidal alcoholic, and it seemed that no matter what anyone
did to try and help him, he was intent on leaving
this world. One day, I noticed Joe was turning yellow. The next day, I heard he was in a coma at the
intensive care unit.
I visited the hospital several times to pray for him. I
had never spent time around a dying person, and I
wanted to see if I could use my abilities as a medium to help him recover or, if not, make his transition into spirit.
The first time I saw Joe, no one else was there, so
I sat quietly in the corner to observe and meditate.
He was lying quietly on the bed, hooked up to various machines, and I didn’t want to disturb him. His
breath was shallow and somewhat labored.
After going into a light trance, energy healing began to occur spontaneously, in the same way it
does with clients in my healing room. Beginning at
his feet, spiritual light began to flow gently into his
body.
When the light reached his chest, he sighed audibly and his breath relaxed. Then his spirit popped
right out of his body through the top of his head!
Standing next to the bed where his body lay, Joe
looked at me and said, “I don’t think I can operate it.” This seemed mean he was worried about
whether he could keep his body alive and functioning properly.
51 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW
As Joe’s spirit contemplated the condition of his
physical body, I observed a line of angels standing
at the foot of the bed. They seemed to be waiting
for resolution, or perhaps for Joe to come to a decision.
The second time I visited, Joe’s mom and another
neighbor were there. It was his birthday, and his
mom had brought chocolate cake for the nursing
staff. She was upset and crying as she held on tightly to one of his inert arms. Without knowing why, or
with any forethought, I began to sing loudly, “We
all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine,
a yellow submarine….” Soon we were all singing,
and as the energy in the room began to shift and get
lighter I could feel Joe’s spirit dancing around us.
After the others left, I began to pray again. Going
into trance, I saw that his spirit had moved away
from the side of the bed, and that he was standing
within the circle of angels. They seemed supportive, not pressuring him in any way. They were simply waiting.
The third and final time I visited Joe at the ICU, he
was still standing at the foot of the bed surrounded
by the angels.
Then, much to my surprise, Jesus arrived. His
countenance was more brilliant than the light of
the sun, and for a moment I had to cast my glance
away.
When I looked again, he had his arms raised in a
blessing over Joe’s dying body. Then he turned his
back to the hospital room and began to move away,
with Joe and the angels following him—through
the gentle, grey mist, through the mysterious veil
between the worlds.
Joe’s body died the next day, but I knew he was already gone. Joe was safe and cared for in the company of angels.
