It was 3am, the Magic Hour and Molly lay in bed staring into the darkness, wide awake. Not wanting to disturb Will, she silently slipped out of the bed and into her bathrobe, tiptoed out to the kitchen to make a cup of hot milk. Walking up the hall in the darkness she was distracted by a soft light emanating down the stairs from The Attic. Even with this wakeup call at some ungodly hour, she felt excited. She loved going up those stairs, of the sensation of the worn tread under her bare feet, the way in which each tread dipped in the middle where the varnish had rubbed to bare wood from the many feet that had passed this way, the smooth finish on the hand railings polished by the touch of their hands. The door was ajar, the soft candle light spilled across the floor, somehow comforting, despite the fact that Molly had not lit the candle herself…
As she entered the room, she saw Grace’s slightly glowing presence sitting in the armchair by the fireplace.
“Morning!” Grace chirped. Molly loved how there was a casual nature growing in their relationship. “How are you enjoying my journal?” Grace enquired.
“Oh Grace, it is amazing! But I am finding it very intimate, I mean, these were personal conversations between you and Callum, and so many others!”
“Ah yes they are! However, it is the concept of spirit communication done in this way that is to inspire you to explore this for yourself, not that you are to rewrite it word for word. Maybe it is time to explain a few things to you first. Hmm…yes it feels like the right time. Come, take a seat.” Grace patted the seat of the armchair next to hers, inviting Molly to join her.
“Remember that I wrote these letters and journal when I was still in the Physical World and since I have returned to the Spirit World, there is so much more I have a better understanding of and wish to share with you.” Grace paused, searching the best words to explain what she wanted to share with Molly.
“There are many levels to the Spirit World, which some refer to as Heaven or In-Spirit. Let me find the words that you can relate to.” Grace paused again, closing her eyes. It appeared that she was listening to someone or something.And then she continued,“Everyone who enters this physical world must one day depart from it – they are born and they will die, as you know. But what most people in the Physical World do not know, is that you do not cease to exist. It is only the physical body that dies. The soul, the greater part of you, is on an eternal journey, like a Time Traveller, through many, many life times. What is really interesting are the bits in-between, when you do not have a physical body, when you have returned to what we will call Home, into the Spirit World, or Heaven. Everybody will leave life on earth through the transition of the soul leaving the body, the process you call Death, and the timing of this is already agreed upon before you are Born. Every one of you have a Sacred Contract which you have helped create and agreed to whilst your presence was fully in the Spirit World. Several opportunities are offered during one’s life to leave the Physical World and return Home, this is when a choice needs to be made. It is not always a conscious choice. For it is not your logic mind which makes the decision, but your Soul. Depending on the strength of the desire to remain in the Physical or return to Spirit designates the outcome. Once the soul has separated from the physical body, it begins its journey Home. Now sometimes, depending on the method of departure, during the transition and the separation from the physical body, the soul gets a little disorientated and may become lost between worlds. This dimension of Spirit – the World Between Worlds is a very big place and there are many, many aspects of this. Some souls stay on in their spirit form to help guide loved ones who are still living in the Physical World. Some stay around waiting for their partners to join them and some are just stuck, not realising where they are. Confused, they cling to the only reality they can remember – the Physical World. From the World Between Worlds you can see the overlaying dimensions that co-exists within the Physical World, visible only to those who remember how to see into the Spirit World. This is what I shall call a Memory Field, an historical imprint, where vibrational memories of past events dwell. In some locations on the planet there are Spirits stuck in a loop, in one of these Memory Fields, living a life of the past. Energetically they are still vibrating as a presence in this co-existing dimension, a blend of the Spirit World and The Physical World. Sometimes they need to be left alone and sometimes they need to be moved on. And sometimes they continue on with a purpose, as Keepers of The Past, or Guardians of an area of land. There are multiple dimensions here, far more than you are able to comprehend through the perception of your logic mind and abilities of your physical senses. Although those with an awareness of the Sixth Sense are able to. You have already experienced some of this when you have done tarot readings, of the souls you referred to as the Spirit People. What has been created here in The Attic, is a portal or doorway between the Physical World and the Spirit World. What you are about to experience in this magical place, will change your perception of Life forever. Your life will never be the same and isn’t that a wonderful thing!” Grace paused and smiled at Molly, wanting to reassure her before continuing.
“After Callum’s passing, whilst sorting through his treasures, I came across a selection of books in The Library (the area below the stairs). He was very fond of books and had collected these in his travels, from many countries, on such a variety of different topics. Some were manuscripts written about spiritual teachings that offered a different view of life after death. Amongst them were hand written notes containing information deciphered by Spiritual Teachers of the likes of Madame Blavatsky a co-founder of the Theosophical Society and the Spiritualist Movement, Master Koot Hoomi (Kathumi) and Master Morya of The Great White Brotherhood. One of these books contained the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna on the importance of spiritual development through meditation. This particular genre I found fascinating. They were written on a topic that was new to me – Spiritualism, and how to develop the ability of communicating with the spirits of people who have passed over. I sat for hours at a time mesmerised by the information, reading book after book….As I began to meditate, my ability to ‘listen’ was magnified. It was during these meditations that Callum began to visit me. The first part of the journal I kept was of my experiences with him when he would communicate with me in this way. He could only visit me in The Attic, because of the nature of this doorway created between the Physical World and the Spirit World. He wanted me to record our stories, and that is what the journal initially was about. Meditation opened me up to a whole new way of living, of an awareness of the existence of multiple dimensions within the Spirit World. Callum was not the only visitor I had. And then there were the visions of Times yet to come, of you and William finding the house and the encounters that now await you. This is when you came to help me and through the meditation process, you would communicate to me, all that you wished to experience as you prepared for your next incarnation. That is why so much of the writing will be familiar to you, because you helped me write it!
So there we have it! Now, let’s get cracking on this book of ours, shall we?” Grace’s presence faded and Molly was left on her own to contemplate the information she had just received. This was going to be interesting. Very interesting…
Reading on through the journal, Molly found it too personal to re-write for general reading. She was unsure of how to continue with this. Was Grace’s journal writings to Callum just to inspire her, to open her mind to other ways of spirit communication? It was something she was passionate about. And then there was the information Grace had written about Molly and Will…
