This beautiful quote from the Ascended Master Sananda, lovingly explains Spirit's viewpoint on death. It is a quote from a unique spiritual channelling that we, The Abbotts received from Sananda, after questioning him as to, "What is death all about?" We will be quoting from this message and other inspirational channelled messages from Mother Mary, Joachim, Archangel Michael and many other Higher spiritual beings and Masters, in this guide book on death.

Overwhelmingly their advice has been loving, sympathetic and compassionate. They know what fears and pain we suffer on Earth, around death and the loss of loved ones and they are ever ready to guide and comfort us about these issues. We have also explored controversial subjects such as execution, murder, hauntings, war, karma and many other relevant topics for the 21^st Century.

Tony and I, Robyn, encourage you to keep reading this book through to the end. If you have recently lost a loved one to death or have fears and worries around the death process and if there is a heaven or hell awaiting us on the other side, we feel sure that by the time you reach the end of this little book, you will be reassured and comforted. A more in depth version is now available in printed copy (see our printed books section). Hopefully, we will come to show you that Death is merely a peaceful, gentle, chosen transition into a wonderful higher state that you are very familiar with and not a bogey to be feared.

Love and Light to you all, The Abbotts.

You may be wondering where we obtain our information for this and the many low cost and free ebooks that we have written and are available on our website - www.spiritwatch.com

Well let us explain - 

Tony and I are professional spiritual channellers who place ourselves in a gentle, relaxed state of meditation and allow Higher Beings such as the Ascended Masters to speak directly through us. We have been doing this for many years and love the experience. It is wonderful to feel the Higher Being's loving energy, smell their distinctive flowery scents, hear their compassionate voices and see the beautiful forms that they take on to visit us. Their Divine words are always compassionate, loving, encouraging and helpful. They speak not only about higher values, philosophies and ideas, but also of everyday issues that all men and women face and give practical advice on how to tackle these common problems. They instruct and guide us, but never demand or command us to follow their wise advice. They always reassure us that we have "freewill."

Commander Joachim a jovial member of the Ashtar Command, (an advanced race of spiritual Beings who oversee this Galaxy) and also Grandfather of Jesus Christ, explained death to us in an inspiring channelled message.

"Blessings to you Dear Friends, I am Joachim.

Dear Ones, never be afraid of dying. You have all died many hundreds of times in your past incarnations and you are still here, are you not? Death is not an ending. It is not a suppression of your Spirit. It is indeed an expansion. It is similar to you having been a caterpillar and suddenly becoming a butterfly. That is how wondrous it truly is!"

And once you realise your limitlessness, once you see you cannot truly die and be finished, that even death expands into a greater awareness and a greater opportunity for growth, then you can achieve anything that you like on this Earth and have no fear of harm, or death to yourself. For truly how can you harm the Spirit? You cannot.

Adonai. Joachim"

Time and time again, we have recorded channelled messages from the Ascended Masters (beings who have lived lives on Earth as human beings, then on death raised themselves to the Higher Realms to help those men and women that they have left behind) that we are divine, unlimited angelic beings who have tremendous, yet unused psychic and spiritual gifts and talents that we can use to help others and the planet. We are not mere humans with limited abilities. And we are reassured time and time again, that our souls and spirit continue to live beyond the grave. This lifetime is one in a long line of life times and our reward at the end of each lifetime is to return for a long vacation to Heaven, our true Home!

Both Tony and I, Robyn have spoken to many dear spirits who have passed over after death, to the Higher Levels and planes of consciousness, the Heavenly Realms. They have all had similar experiences of being greeted and comforted by loving friends and relatives who have previously passed over. Often a special Archangel, Azriel comes to gently guide them through the death process. They then often rise up above their now spirit vacated bodies, the silver chord to their old bodies is broken and enter into a white tunnel of light and at the end emerge into a lovely, heavenly place of warmth, love and light, freed from the discomfort and heaviness of their old physical Earth bodies.

Many of the deceased spirits have spoken about the wonders of these Higher realms - the beautiful flowers and trees, the peace, the kindness and the love. They are gently reintroduced to their surroundings which feel very familiar, for they have had many eons there between incarnations on Earth and other planets. They are reunited with loved ones and have the ability to create their own comfortable surroundings. If they want to live in a replica of their old Earth home, they can do so or if they want to live in marbled halls, they can also do so, as their psychic abilities are much more advanced than on Earth!

They can study advanced subjects such as music, art, sacred geometry in the Akashic Halls of Learning under the tutoring of famous musicians and philosophers or develop their higher spiritual talents with help from angelic teachers. There is more to do in Heaven than sitting quietly and praying!

Often those who have passed suddenly without warning, such as in an accident or while very mentally confused, spend time in a type of angelic hospital, where they are tended by compassionate helpers and loved ones. Sometimes they sleep for a long while, to rid themselves of the last traces of their uncomfortable Earth illnesses and confusion. Then they are gently awaken, to be helped by their angelic carers to rediscover the delights of Heaven.

We have never heard of a negative report of the Heavenly Realms. Every spirit we have spoken to, is happy, well balanced and joyful to be home again. Of course they have great sympathy for those loved ones that they have left behind on Earth and often try to visit them and reassure them that they are still "alive" and happy. But unfortunately, many grieving relatives and friends do not "see" them or "hear" them, for clairvoyant (clear seeing) and clairaudient (clear hearing) talents are not encouraged to be learnt, in this current Earth society.

We shall finish this first chapter with a loving quote from the Higher realms - There is an old saying - "When a child is born on Earth, we rejoice and the Angels cry. When a soul returns to Heaven, we cry and the Angels rejoice!"

A Near death experience (N.D.E) can be described as a spiritual experience which occasionally occurs to people who have physically died and then been revived. The heart has stopped beating and all life functions are still. It involves the spirit (soul) leaving the physical body in astral form and travelling to the heavenly realms. Later they are revived or naturally awaken from the experience. Many people experience near death experiences during medical operations, car accidents or any other life threatening event.

People are often frightened of NDE's. There is the famous tale of a passenger on an airline flight who had a heart attack and died. The cabin crew attended to him and then when they found that they could not revive him, covered him up with a blanket. After a short time, the other passengers resumed their flight in a normal manner, many eating their meals, talking etc. Suddenly the man came back from a NDE and revived himself. The flight attendents removed the blanket and helped him physically to his seat. This so shocked the other passengers, that they became quite upset! They refused to eat their meals or talk normally. Obviously they were more accustomed to coping with death rather than Near Death Experiences!

People who have experienced a NDE often describe the same effects. Hovering above their body at death, being guided by angels to a white tunnel of light, entering into the tunnel, hearing loving voices and seeing beautiful scenes at the other end. They are often met or accompanied by loved ones who have previously passed over and guardian angels. Children have also reported the same effects.

We believe that many people experience NDE's while in comas and in sleep during long drawn out illnesses. Elderly people close to death, may also often leave their bodies during cat naps. This prepares them for the eventual journey Home by familiarizing them with the process and alleviating fears and worries about leaving those they love behind.

We have spoken to many people who have experienced the NDE phenomenon and to a person, they have all been reassured by the experience and while not advocating suicide, are looking forward to the final journey Homeward without fear.

When our parents or grandparents die, no matter how young or old we may be, we are shocked and stunned by the experience, particularly if the death is unexpected. If the person has been ill for a long time and in pain, we may feel that their death is a happy release for them from the burdens of this Earth life, but we still mourn their death and passing.

Nevertheless it is an experience that we will all have to experience during our lives, losing someone so very close to ourselves. How do we cope with this experience, in a way that enriches our lives, not diminishes it? Here are some extracts from various books and articles we, as The Abbotts have channelled and written about over the last seven years.

"Maya stopped plaiting the fresh flowers, for a moment.

"My grandmother died last year, as you know Yoshi. I loved her dearly. One day when I was walking past her old house, I saw her, very clearly, in the garden. She was wearing her favourite dress, a deep blue one and she smiled and waved to me. For a moment, I forgot that she was dead and I smiled and waved back, as I always did, when I saw her in the past. Then she just faded away. Was that her ghost, that I saw?"

"I would prefer to use the term spirit, rather than ghost. But, yes she appeared to you, to show you that she is still alive, just in a different dimension. As you become more spiritual, you may often see her around you. You’re not afraid of her, are you?"

"Oh no. I could never be afraid of Grandmother. Maya said with a smile. "I felt her love flow towards me, when she appeared in the garden. I hope that she will be a special guide to me, throughout my life."

She rose and lifted the colourful garland over his white, shaggy hair and it lay softly over his dark, thin shoulders.

Yoshi smiled lovingly at the pretty, young girl’s dreamy expression.

"I am sure that your Grandmother will guide you through a long and happy life, Maya. You are filled with compassion, unconditional love and spiritual purpose. I am proud of you. You are truly making this life count!"

From our low cost ebook Yoshi by The Abbotts

The physical body may die away, but the spirit remains as alive as ever. The astral body, the true being, leaves the physical body and ascended into the heavenly realms. Many attend their own funerals. Many still visit us today to give loving words of comfort and guidance. As the old spiritualist poem says - "they are but a breath away!"

Q. "My son’s Grandmother recently died. He loved her greatly. How do I explain death to him?"

A. Explain to him that his Grandmother was old and sick in body and it was time for her soul to leave that old worn out body and return to her true home - heaven. There she is young and healthy and there she still thinks of him and loves him dearly. In time she will return to earth in a new baby’s body to learn new lessons on Earth. Until then, she will keep a friendly eye on him, like a guardian angel.

If he feels her around him, it is okay for him to talk to her and be comforted by her presence. Friends I know, often take their young children outside at night and point to a bright star and say that it is Granddad twinkling down at them! Perhaps, you might like to do the same. Or you might like to show your son a bare-limbed tree in winter and explain that is like death and watch it become rejuvenated in spring with new foliage and flowers, "like Grandma". Tell him that death is not frightening or painful, but an exciting journey to a wondrous place." From Relationships in the 21^st Century by The Abbotts.

Many, many times while giving channelled messages to groups or individuals, we have been visited by loving spirits who just want to let their loved ones know that they are well and happy in Heaven. They may present themselves in their familiar elderly form or in a new younger form of good health. They often carry etheric roses symbolic of their love for their loved ones left behind. Often too, they have a good sense of humour and will joke with their loved one about events that they both only know. They are always forgiving, loving and encouraging to those they have left behind. One elderly male spirit, urged his eighty year old wife to, " Go for a walk each day, to keep her fit, he would see her soon enough!" She laughed at the remark and said it was just like him!

Our parents and grandparents will often visit us in the dream state to reassure us that they are well and happy. Please be reassured that they are existing in a wonderful, creative place and one day you will be reunited with them, meanwhile make the most of this current lifetime!

"Celebrate their life, honour their memory!"

Whether you are a young lover who has just discovered the joys of love, or have spent many years with the one that you consider your soul mate, his/her death will be a deep shock to you. You will have lost a lover, companion, help mate and friend, all in one. Many people feel shattered by the experience and feel that life no longer has any meaning without the one they love. They may even experience great anger at their lover, that she or he has left them alone, to deal with life on their own. Many people temporarily lose their faith in God, believing that Spirit has abandoned them. Perhaps, you have had a similar experience to these people below and Spirit's loving words and advice on this sad subject may help and comfort you.

 Q. Why has my dear husband been taken from me?

 "A. Little One, I feel your pain and your grief. But, it is misplaced. Your husband lives in the higher realms in great peace and joy. His greatest sorrow, is the way that you are reacting to his death! Naturally you will grieve and miss his physical presence, around you. But he is not lost to you. He is often around you trying to comfort you. But, you keep him out! Your very grief is creating a barrier between you and him! He is just a breath away from you. Stop your tears. Sit and meditate. You will feel him around you, when you are at peace.

 He has not been ‘taken’. He chose before incarnation, when he would return to his heavenly home. He had completed his angelic mission and he needed to return. Do not be angry about that. Be generous and see it as a great release and joy for him. He will watch over you during your life and meet you on the other side, when you leave at death. But, do make the most of your time here. Complete your mission. Do your tasks. Learn to love life, again. Do not dwell on death.'' Relationships in the 21^st Century.

Time and time again, we have channelled loved ones who implore their wives and husbands, lovers and soul mates to go on with their life journey, in a positive way. They often urge the old partner to remarry and start a new positive lifestyle. We have never channelled a spirit who has demanded that their partner here on Earth, remain celibate or refuse a new love in their life. They are so content and happy on the higher realms that of course, they want you to be happy too!

Over time you can begin to "feel" psychically, your lover in spirit around you, giving you comfort and gentle guidance, but as an old friend rather than as a lover. They are often drawn in to be with you when you need their presence. But as with all things, change occurs. In time, they will move on to do their own projects in Heaven and if you have progressed through the first stages of loss and separation, you will find other physical situations and people to immerse yourself in. This is natural and highly recommended, (and as some people feel mistakenly, is not disloyal to your deceased partner). They want you to make the most of your time here on Earth!

 Mother Mary expresses her sentiments on us losing a lover, in this short channelling.

 "Your loved one's life has been special. He/she has taught you great lessons in love, life and compassion. Do not waste all the happiness they have given you, in the time you have been together, by making a memorial to them that only expresses pain and sadness. Instead celebrate their life, honour their memory, but dedicate your life to helping others and finding joy for yourself, through your love for them!"

 "Tell them to remember me, but to remember me happy, not sad!"

No parent ever wants to outlive their own children. It seems almost obscene and unnatural to the average mother and father, that their loved child will precede them to Heaven. Yet it is a sad fact that many families lose a loved child, whether son, daughter or brother or sister to death at an early age. Uncles, Aunts, cousins and friends are also very often shocked by a young child's death, whether it be through a prolonged sickness or quickly by an accident. How does the grieving person left behind, deal with their emotions of loss, anger, frustration and despair?

 Again we must realise that many young souls only choose to live on Earth for a short time. They consciously preplan between lives, to only return to Earth for a short time, to "dip their toes in the Earth Plane for a short while". They find life in the 3^rd dimension very harsh and by incarnating for short periods of time, they gradually acclimatize themselves to the heavier energies of Earth. And on a Higher Plane, you agreed to help them do so, out of compassion and love.

 This channelled message may help you to understand the concept more clearly. This is a spirit channeling that we received, from a small boy who died several years ago.

 "I would like to tell my mother and father that I am very happy here. I have many playmates and family to look after me. Grandmother is here and she showed me around, when I left my body in the hospital. I wasn't a bit afraid, it was great! It is so fantastic here and lots to do! I can think of anything and I have it! I can travel anywhere, without a plane or car!

 I sometimes go down to see my mother and father and they are so sad, that it upsets me. Please, tell them to be happy. I am. I will see them both one day and we will be together, but they have lots to do now. Tell them to remember me, but to remember me happy, not sad!"

We can learn much from the loved one who has left us. We can be inspired by their life and character or we can sink into depression and erase all the wonderful memories that we had of them, by grieving constantly. Your loved one, wants you to be happy, to get over your depression and to live for a special purpose. Value the years, weeks or days you had with them, not the years you think you missed. Don't spoil their triumphant journey home with your tears.

They are angels now and you are an angel in human form, what is so different?

Learn to feel them around you. Talk to them as if they were here now. Laugh and joke with them. Remember them with love and joy. And show your respect for them, by getting on with your life, in a better way. Live your Divine Mission, activate your Life and World Plans and live as a tribute to them!

 "You are mourning, but they are full of joy!"

The death of a dear friend can be a shocking experience for many people, particularly if the person is of the same age and they have shared many similar life experiences. It reminds people brutally of their own mortality and possible impending deaths. In many cases a dear friend may be with you through all the ups and downs of life and the friendship may be longer than many marriages and survive many family deaths. You may have travelled with your friend and shared many secrets and confidences. In many cases you may have a better understanding of your friend's real nature than their family or even spouse!

 "The unexpected death of a loved one, family member or friend, can send you into severe grief. This is natural. However, to maintain this grief indefinitely and to sink into depression, apathy and suicidal thoughts is not!

Everyone has a set period for being here, whether it is one day, three years, twenty years or one hundred years. You decide the time, before you incarnate down! You may go out in an accident, war, through illness or old age - but the time was preset before you came here!

And more amazingly, your parents, friends etc all agreed to it. You've all just forgotten the plan!

 Naturally, you grieve because the one you loved is no longer in physical form - but remember, they decided to exit then and they have returned home to heaven, to live a spectacularly happy life. You are mourning, but they are full of joy! Can you not see then, that your mourning and grief, is a little inappropriate?

 Please rejoice that your friend is now living the life that they wanted to live. They are free from the constrains of the heavy physical body. They no longer have to work hard or put up with sad events and losses. They are now the divine person, that you have glimpsed many times in the past when they laughed or had a twinkle in their eyes.

 They often come around you to comfort you in your tears, but in your grief you keep them at arms length. Instead go and sit calmly, meditate, think of your friend and allow them to come close to you. You may even smell their perfume or feel the warmth of their love. Some of you will see them in their old form or young once again. Wish them well and feel reassured that they are happy and fulfilled where they are and one day they shall come to greet you, when it is your time to journey Home!" Spirit.

 We have found that many people find comfort in their grief by sponsoring a child from a Third World Charity as a tribute to their friend's love and life. Perhaps this may appeal to you, as in this way, your dear friend's memory lives on in the kindness that you give to someone else!

 "I decided to live my life joyously, as a memorial to my son's life!"

Sometimes a suicide occurs, where the victim has given no apparent evidence of their true feelings of despair and depression. Directly preceding the suicide they are smiling and laughing with friends. Their lives seem contented and successful. They may even make plans for the future. The mourning family are left with the guilt of not having recognised their loved one's inner torment.

We realise that these are very profound issues to explain spiritually and that they will not necessarily effect everyone, in this lifetime. But it is important that you maintain an open mind about such significant issues and begin to make your own mind up about your attitude towards these contentious problems. Spirit of course, takes these complex problems as every day matters in their channelled message sessions. We are continually amazed at their unconditionally loving answers and practical advice to those suffering from the repercussions of Murder, War, Execution and Euthenasia.

 If someone that we have loved dearly, whether family member, lover or friend is murdered by another, our loss is deep and often unresolved. If the murderer is found and tried by a jury, often their sentence is seen by the family or friends, as inadequate. If the murderer appears to have "gotten away" with the murder then the loved ones of the victim feel powerless and harbour deep feelings of anger at God and fate for allowing the tragedy to happen and the murder to not be avenged.

Below is a sympathetic channelling from Spirit concerning the murder of a young man, it may help you to reconcile your loved one's death.

"Firstly, my dear one, let me reassure you that this young man is not forgotten or lost. He stands before you now, radiant, beaming and joyously happy! He wants me to tell you that he loves you dearly and misses you, but he has a new life now and he hates to see the despair that his death has caused you. Although his death was brutal, he felt nothing, his spirit already released from his body. He was gently assisted to Heaven by loving beings and warmly welcomed Home by his closest relatives.

 He harbours no hate or unforgiveness towards his killer. He wants you to know that this was a karmic tie, that has followed him through many lifetimes and he is pleased to be rid of it! Of course he hoped that his murderer would raise above his lower nature and hold no hate towards him, but he understands the confused mind and forgives him, for he knows that his murderer will have to repay the karma on his negative actions in this or a future incarnation.

 He wants you to remember him as he was before his death - happy, courageous, full of life and open minded. Do not dwell on his death and the pain that it has caused you, but hold deeply towards you the kind, funny memories that you shared. He wishes to impress on you, that he will be around you in this lifetime. You may often feel his loving presence nearby and he will welcome you with open arms when it is your time to pass over on the journey Homeward to Heaven. So do not despair, he is "just a breath away!"

Mother Mary

 Now days many people question the ethics of sending young, impressionable men off to fight battles and lose their lives for philosophies that are not their own.

 We have been asked many times in channelled spirit question and answer sessions. Is war wrong? If a soldier kills someone under battle conditions, is he responsible karmically for that death. Does God or Spirit take sides in religious and political wars? These extracts from Spiritual channellings, many from the Ascended Masters, may help you with these contentious matters.

Omni

Principle 10 : parable 7

It would seem that despite the propaganda commonly purported that wars and battles are justified, Spirit still sees them as wrong, willful and murder. Karma is still to be owed by the soldier, no matter how patriotic he may appear to be. It is obviously time for us all to promote peaceful negotiation over physical brutality. The killed soldier or civilian in war has a death procedure like all others. He is met by his Guardian Angels or Archangel Azriel and gently taken Home up the tunnel of white light. His cares of war and pain are left behind, as he is warmly welcomed by loving beings into the Heavenly planes.

 Mother Mary has told us, "Of course you love your children, no matter what crimes or pain they cause in this life. Never be ashamed to love someone. You love the kind, small child they once were. The confused adult they may now be, is still close to your heart. You may not like their negative actions or condone their unloving behaviour, but you still love your child. If a mother or father can still love a child that has committed an atrocity, then why do you think that God will be less loving and forgiving. Spirit forgives all. There are no exceptions.

 That man or woman shall be greeted by his/her angelic guides and Azriel and gently escorted home with love and sympathy. They do not judge his/ her actions, but often take that confused person to a type of heavenly hospital where he or she is given time, comfort and care to regain their former wisdom, love and reason." Mary.

 Spirit has spoken about capital punishment on a number of occasions, we hope that their unconditionally loving answers, will help you and ease your heartache.

 Spirit has spoken on this issue with us in channellings, a number of times. Their compassionate advice has always been received well.

"You all have choice to decide the length of your life. Again, there is no sin attached to euthanasia. Many people can not endure painful conditions. However, we would encourage you to stay as long as you can bear it, for how do you not know that your greatest work may come in the very final stages of your life? Perhaps that is specifically why you have incarnated, to be noble and inspiring to others at your death! There is no wrong or right answer to this question, but do consult your Higher Self and Guides for higher advice, should this decision ever arise." Lord Ashtar.

We realise however, that the possibilities for the misuse of euthanasia are very real. We would not like to imagine a society which supports euthanasia for the unwanted, old or sick, merely as a way of dealing mercilessly with these problems. But we support legislation for humane methods of euthanasia for people with terminal diseases who want to end their suffering in a gentle, responsible manner, under strict medical supervision, following Mother Mary's guidelines above. Ultimately however, the choice must be your own.

Very occasionally, confused, unhappy, spirits who deny their deaths, refuse to leave Earth gracefully, through death and travel to the White Light of the Higher dimensions in the company of their Guardian Angels or Archangel Azriel. Instead, they attach strongly to third dimensional objects, such as houses, churches, prisons, hospitals or other familiar buildings.

 Others however, will reside peacefully with a family. There have been numerous stories of "ghosts or earthbound spirits baby-sitting" younger members of the family and alerting the family when danger approaches, such as unexpected fires.

 Over time, their guardian angels and family members in Heaven will be able to break through their limited visions and show them that they are now in spirit form not physical form and gently guide them Homeward to the Higher Realms. These confused spirits are never forgotten or lost.

 As Mother Mary has said to us once in a channelled reading, " Why would we deny the gates of heaven to any man or woman? Do we not know you all and love you all. Would a mother or father forget a child in it's care? We shall safely guide you all Homeward, do not fear!"

 Often the deceased spirit visits their own funeral. We have seen many spirits sitting comfortably beside their loved ones with a smile on their face. They will often acknowledge us with a wave. One irreverent spirit who had a good sense of humour in life, propped himself up on the coffin while he listened to the eulogies from his friends and family. Many of the spiritually aware people in the church saw him and had a quiet smile to themselves! The spirits are saddened by our prolonged distress at their death and wish many more people could see them in spirit form and be reassured that they are well and happy!

Many people find that their closest companion is a pet. The pets often share great love with many lonely people, aged carers and family members. When it dies, they are often left bereft and saddened by the experience. We have had a number of grieving pet owners come to us to find out if their pet has survived death? Is there a heaven for pets? And will they ever see their loved pet again?

This special channelling about animals, particularly dogs and cats, shows the loving attitude Spirit has towards all living beings.

 Wankatanka, looked down and saw the loneliness and grief of those that were separate and alone on the Earth and he sent them two creatures from the very high dimensions, that would be companions, boon companions to them. He sent them the small animals, that you know, now, as cats and dogs.

He saw the widow alone at her hearth and he sent the cat. Not only as a friend, as a companion, but also to keep the field mice at bay, to keep her stores of food secure. And for the man that must hunt alone, or guard his fields, he sent the dog, that would be a protector, as well as a friend and a loyal companion. And these two animals gave great unconditional love to the beings that they were with and they gladdened the heart, not only of the man and the women, but of the children that would play with them, that would grow in the Light, through their connection with another loving Light-force.

 And today, you still have your animals around you, to help those that are lonely, to help those that feel separate from the Light, to give you again, unconditional love.

 And yet, the Great Spirit would be sad, to look out across your continents and see how your scientists so unwisely use these life-forces, for what you would call animal experimentation. Particularly for the aims that are so unjustifiable, such as for cosmetic research for example. And how so often, people have lost respect for the animals of the planet. How you allow your animals to multiply and then have them taken away to be destroyed. How you have lost, as you would say, dominion over the animals and allowed them instead to become a pestilence, or for you to separate from them completely, so that you give them no thought, no kindness, no love.

 I would say to you, Dear Friends, it is part of your responsibility as Light Workers, that you come into contact with all the kingdoms of this Earth-Mother Earth, herself in all her glory, the crystal kingdoms that give you so much energy, the animal kingdom, the vegetation kingdom. They are all part of the Life Force and until you connect with them once again, then how can you truly say you are, One with the Creator?

 I send you my Light and Love.

Gitchi Manitou. May God be with you.

I am White Eagle."

An extract from Wisdom of The Masters by the Abbotts.

 Spirit has assured us many times in channellings that your beloved pets are well and happy back with their respective animal clans in the heavenly planes. If you wish, they will return to you as a new pet in the future or be waiting for you on the Heavenly planes. You must come to respect the fact that they have chosen to return Home. Remember them with love and great affection, but move on with your own valuable Life Plans and World Plans.

 Perhaps you could help an animal charity to raise funds for abandoned animals or rescue another pet that needs love and care. As Spirit once commented "Losing your loved pets should not deplete your lives, instead you should open our hearts to repay their unconditional love and devotion!"

And yes, if you choose to, you will meet them once again in heaven!

We would like to end our book on Death with first a message from the Master Isis which we hope that you will find illuminating.

Isis is the Egyptian Mother Goddess, protector of sea travellers to the Romans and wise mother figure to the present.

 "Please do not regard death, as either painful or frightening. It is neither. It is a natural part of life. As natural as birth. In birth you enter into this world which is different and confusing. At death you enter into the heavenly realms, which again, is different and enlightening. You value life, but you do not value death. Yet your true ‘life’ in spirit, is much longer than the eighty years or so, that you spend on earth! Life of the soul, does not finish at the ‘physical death’. You will still think and feel, but, without the heaviness of the body. What a joy! What a release. You finally leave behind pain and suffering.

 Your beloveds will be there to greet you, after your silver chord has left your body. It is a time of reunion, joy and peace. After resting for days, months or years (you are beyond time), you will review your life and see clearly your triumphs and mistakes. No one will judge you. You only judge yourself. You decide, how you can repay your mistakes (karma). Then for a time you will enjoy the great teaching facilities of the heavenly realms, before you decide to reincarnate, once again. Believe me, the heavenly state is much more natural to you, than this Earth state. So do not fear it, Little Ones.

 There are many levels to heaven. Does your bible not speak of ‘many mansions’? After death, depending on your spiritual growth, in that last life and in your many past lives, you naturally gravitate back to the level to which you are most familiar.

 All levels are amazingly beautiful, peaceful and loving. Some are closer to your version of Earth. That is why, some spirits talk of sitting down at home and having a cup of tea with old friends. This is what they are comfortable with and so, this is what they create for themselves! In time they will create more open and complete versions of heaven, as their memories of Earth life fade.

 A person who is very spiritually aware on Earth, will have no problems readjusting to the heavenly state and will see heaven as it truly is - a loving, limitless opportunity for growth. There are wonderful Akashic libraries and Halls of great learning.

LIFE HAS MANY STAGES

Life has many stages and all of them do not take place within the earthly realm,

What comes before birth, comes to us after death, this is natural and right

A changing of solid matter into the higher form of light

The human into angel, the dross into gold

A change from simple matter into light that does unfold.

And all our earthly senses, we thought so very fine,

Become a greater substance that belongs to the divine

We see the inner sparkle of the smallest drop of dew

We hear the growing flowers and sense the dawn begin anew

So never fear that everything is lost or turned to dust,

It's merely changed to ecstasy, to joy and loving trust.
