Comments on: When I die, I’ll still be with you… http://ronscolastico.com/blog/when-i-die-ill-still-be-with-you%e2%80%a6 Metaphysical Musings from Ron & Susan Scolastico Sat, 17 Sep 2011 22:19:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: anakin http://ronscolastico.com/blog/when-i-die-ill-still-be-with-you%e2%80%a6#comment-225 anakin Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:13:59 +0000 http://ronscolastico.com/blog/?p=131#comment-225 When my father died we were not close and it was the culmination of about 30 years of strife. I did not miss him in the least. However over a period of time after his death I would occasionally feel him near by, and we would be together as if he was trying to help me in different life situations. In essence I realized that were actually quite a bit alike (same Spiritual flavor) and we have gotten along quite well since his passing.

Then, for about a year, I could not feel any connection. I felt sad, lonely, and let down. At one point I was at an open-air fair, and I was mulling over to myself how much I missed her presence, and said to myself, Mom, where are you, I really need you.... and then I walked into one of the exhibits in a big tent, and it was full of glorious paintings and photographs, just like the art my mother had done, and there was glorious music playing, one of my mother's favorite songs, done in an arrangement she would have loved... it was the essence of my mom to the nth degree, and I'm sure it was she reaching down to let me know she was still there. It was a deeply moving experience. After my mom died, on several occasions I was able to feel her presence with me quite closely. Then, for about a year, I could not feel any connection.

I also felt that he wanted me to feel that he was a universal soul at peace and now taking up a "clarifying process" before choosing to receive a new physical body. This helped me to feel that there is a continuance of choosing or "free will" that crosses the boundaries of life mode and death mode. I also felt he wanted to tell me that he would be busy but I could connect with him as an "intuitive" feeling when needing to feel his love and that has been very comforting to me daily when I choose to "feel" his timeless soul expression.

The Guides provided some very good advice and we were able to have a friend of my father's from his church-- a Catholic lay minister talk to him in the very language recommended by the Guides. This friend, Dick, at the end of the session with my father, told him "Jack, quit praying with your head and pray with your heart." That is exactly what the Guides said-- we did not tell that to Dick but he got the message anyhow and relayed it to my father. Early the next morning, my Dad transitioned. And that is a story too.... He woke up early that final morning and asked his night nurse (we had hospice helping) to rub his stomach because it hurt. His nurse, Lily, is also a Baptist minister and he asked her to say a prayer. She did and remembered Dad being Catholic, started the 'Hail Mary' but not being Catholic herself didn't know the end, and she said she told Dad he would have to finish...she shared that when he said the last line: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for our sins, Now and at the hour of our death, Amen.", he closed his eyes and took his last breath. I can only guess he got the 'pray with your heart' message as he didn't struggle and quietly slipped away. I miss my Dad but am so comforted by how this all finally came together. With the help of the Guides and also with Kelsey Collins' book Exit Strategy, we were able to assist my father when he needed it most--to help him let go of 78 years of fear and 'hear' the truth with his heart. Now I will try to be still so I can 'feel' my Dad even with the limitations of my human body.

However, when one of my daughter's friends was helping with Jennie's memorial preparations we were looking at my daughter's jewelry together. I wanted her to pick something as a keepsake. As she was looking things over I deeply felt moved to give her a necklace that previously I had wanted to keep for myself. I reached for the necklace and handed her the item that had moments before felt "right" to me. She immediately began to cry and I knew then that it was Jennie's wish that she have it. I had been wearing a ring of Jennie's that I had been wearing since her death and felt it "right" to remove that ring and wear the one that matched the necklace I had given Susanna. This weekend we had my daughter's memorial and her other best friend from all her school years, Sarah, came from another state to attend. I was overwhelmed to see her and we both cried in shared grief. I stepped back from her and without thinking took off the ring I had put on just a few days before and handed it to her and immediately felt at peace with the decision. Sarah emailed me today and thanked me for the ring saying that when she looked at it, it made her smile. When I looked at the ring, it had always made me cry. I responded to her with this: "It meant more to me than you could know that you were here and I knew that ring needed to be on your finger more than mine - Just as it happened with Susanna with the necklace, Jennie whispered her desire into my heart. I am glad to know that it brings a smile to you." I do believe that my daughter attempts to communicate with me, but most of the time there is too much "noise" within me to perceive it. In these instances however, I believe that Jennie's desires were strong enough to push through the chaos of my grief. Thank you for posting this particular question at this particular time; it has been validating. Knowing that my daughter's most beloved friends have been gifted from Jennie through me, brings me some peace in a time when feeling the stillness of peace, for even the briefest time, is so very difficult to find.

So, when the deceased one is present to the living one and is communicating, that communication is not in words spoken aloud, or in words placed into the mind of the living one. That communication is done through quite extraordinary spiritual “energies” that you might call intuitive feelings." This seems right to me as it applies to most interactions between recently deceased and their loved ones. It explains why the numerous "death compacts" are unsuccessful, where the agreement is that the first to die will communicate to the other a secret code to prove his/her survival. But there seems to be a disconnect with this when it comes to the Guides. If they are souls evidently they can communicate words or at least detailed information in some form that are translated into words by Ron's subliminal consciousness. I suppose this is a unique relationship acheived by Ron over years of practice. It seems to me this may also explain the abilities of some of the better psychic mediums who appear to be able to communicate in a limited way with the bereaved.
