I share this amazing story from a recent session I had with Hope (not her real name). It is offered with the Sitter’s permission because what took place was something we both thought others might want to know about the nature of the soul and about the difficult life choices some people must endure.
When Hope and I first met over a Zoom session, I at once connected with information about her sister. What seemed odd to me however was that I felt that Hope’s sister was still alive yet also in Spirit. This duality caught me off guard and I hesitated as I was confused. Thankfully, Hope understood what this meant better than I did.
Hope explained to me that her sister – who I will simply call Susan – was still very much alive. Susan’s physical self was in a care facility as she had suffered a mental breakdown many years prior and was now a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. Despite this news, it was clear that I was communicating with Susan’s soul – her greater and higher self that was in spirit.
Now this might seem impossible at first, and some might even accuse me as the medium for not being able to discern between the living versus the dead, but I can assure you there is a distinct difference between connecting with a spirit versus giving general Psi based information. I am keenly aware of the difference between the two which was why one of the first bits of evidence that I gave Hope was the idea of being both alive and yet still in spirit.
As I continued to speak to Susan’s soul, despite her physical body being in a care facility here on earth, it was imperative that evidence follow to support this unique scenario. Susan’s soul went on to provide this various information but she also expressed explanations for why she had chosen such a difficult life. The latter being something that the sitter, Hope, had always wondered.
In Susan’s earthly life and before her breakdown, she had actually been a doctor. But what her soul expressed is that by its nature, it was a soul that was focused on the healing of others. So, while it was wonderful to be a doctor and to help heal people, what Susan’s earthly life and mental situation was teaching her was still focused on healing others. You see, Susan’s soul had chosen to have this very difficult mental experience so that she would understand what it was like to be not just a healer – but what it was like to be a patient. Not only did she need the care of others but she also explained how being in the care facility also put her in close contact with other suffering souls.
While seemingly a horrible situation on the surface, Susan’s soul was actually learning how to be a better healer & how to be more understanding of the needs of those who are need of healing. By working from what I call the ‘down-side up,’ Susan was having an experience that would teach her the value of healing through suffering as opposed to curing.
Susan also expressed that in no way should others feel sorry for her. Susan’s soul was clear to her sister Hope that she had chosen this experience to expand her soul’s ability to be of help to others. Susan did however highlight that compassion and care are of course required in these situations. Susan’s physical self was in need of care and others should always be compassionate to the delicate circumstances of those who suffer, but according to Susan, pity was not the proper emotion to exhibit.
Susan had chosen her physical life experience to further the advancement of her soul, even though the path to doing so was difficult for us here on earth to perhaps accept or fully comprehend. Delivering this explanation to a living one is not easy, and for some people, might not be embraced or accepted. Thankfully, Hope was in a place to both understand as well as accept this explanation – most likely one of the reasons her Sister’s soul came through and offered her the answers she had desired. It’s easy to want an answer when we experience deep trauma and pain as well as loss or tragedy, but we must be spiritually ready to accept that explanation. Not everyone is ready for the experience. As a result, I reached out and asked Hope if I might share this experience with others – while protecting her confidence of course. She has read and approved this post for the benefit of others.
I think the take-away from this story is multi-faceted.
The first takeaway is that we need to realize that the difficulties, suffering, and challenges we face in our physical life have a higher purpose. These situations may seem unjust or even cruel, but at the deeper level, our soul is the one seeking to gain from the experience.
This leads me to our second takeaway and it is that our greater self – our real soul -is not bound by our physical body. Even though we are here on earth and living this physical life, there is still always a part of us in the spiritual realms. This means that there is a part of you and me that at this very moment, is residing outside of time and space, and as such, we are far more than our physical body and this single experience. Yes, you are real and living as you, but there is more to you than meets the eye.
The third takeaway is that if we are more than just this life, then what does this mean to you? Can you connect with your higher self for guidance, awareness, and understanding? The answer of course is a resounding yes. This is the sole purpose for developing our self-awareness and undergoing spiritual pursuits. This is also why we all are capable of psychic-functioning! Psi is nothing more than an awareness of what is taking place beyond the physical here and now. It is not a mysterious gift for an elite few but rather a natural part of our innate design.
The fourth and perhaps most crucial takeaway from Susan’s communication was to realize that despite her earthly challenges, she was still very much aware, alive, and worthy of our care, compassion, and even deep respect. This means that we should take note of others who may be physically, mentally, or emotionally challenged. We should be cognizant of the fact that behind the facade of the physical body there is a powerful and loving soul having a very challenging experience. This commands our respect and compassion, not our judgment or condemnation.
The final takeaway I would add is that if you or someone you know is dealing with a loved one who is unable to fully speak for themselves, communication with them is still possible. I’m not saying that you need to rush out and find a psychic practitioner to connect with your loved one. Maybe you will and maybe you won’t. Just realize that despite the physical challenges your loved one is enduring, you personally can still connect with the fullness of their being. You can have a personal experience with them that transcends their suffering and perhaps even ask their soul to come to you in dreams or share insights to help you understand or to be of better service. Because they have a soul and you have one too, this soul to soul communication can take place between the two of you – if you are open and willing. And if you don’t believe in a soul then at the very least consider looking at it as a mind-to-mind or heart-to-heart connection. Psi-based information can still arise that may potentially help everyone better able to navigate these challenging situations.
If you do decide to reach out to a psychic practitioner for such an experience, I would highly caution that ample evidence should be in place to support the communication. I would also make note that despite your desire for this to happen, such a communication may not take place at all. Is it possible? Obviously, but how common it is I can’t say. As I said, it all depends on you and the soul and what is in the best interest for the both of you.
As I close I would like to give thanks to Hope who so graciously allowed me to share her & her sister’s story. As I write this however, I am clearly connected to Susan’s soul and she is both humbled and grateful that her story can be used as an example to help others who are suffering with mental illnesses as well as their loved ones. “It is not an easy path,” she declares, “but in it we should have no pity, only love and respect for the journey of the soul.”
Blessings & Wellness,
