1999 "Cause & Effect"
Abenda Columns
By Tara Sutphen

____________________________

February 1999

For this issue only, we’re including two “Abenda Online” columns instead of Tara’s standard column. Questions about the karma between President Clinton, Ken Starr and Monica Lewinsky, the Swiss Air crash, the torture murder of Matthew Shepard, Saddam Hussein and more.

Beginning in October, the Sutphens launched a personal Website: www.dicksutphen.com and as one feature, you can read Tara’s “Cause & Effect” columns for the last six years.

At the Website, Tara also offers a new “Abenda Online” column in which she asks questions about metaphysics and the karmic cause and effect behind major news stories. For this issue of Soaring Spirit only, we’ll repeat the first and second Website columns. In the next issue, we’ll return to the standard “Cause & Effect” column, in which she responds to people’s personal problems.

“Abenda Online” Column 2

 The following questions were asked November 23, 1998.

Q & A
The Karma Between President Clinton & Monica Lewinsky?

In response to my question about the Clinton/Lewinsky karma, a woman calling herself Frederica came to my writing area. She was dressed in black lace and said she was Romanian but lived in Austria in the 1700s. I asked her why she wore black.

“I always wore black. I was mourning my husband, sons, parents, so I never moved beyond mourning. I knew the woman who is now Monica in the court of Austria. She was a lady in waiting -- loyal and dedicated, and very much wanting to be of the court.

“She has repeated a past mistake, because on a soul level, she feels she belongs in a position of power. In Austria she became sexually involved with a man in a high position. There was a true scandal when she became pregnant and was cast away. Her son returned to court 20 years later, was imprisoned and died in the dungeons. Now Monica finds herself again with a reputation. This time there are no children to be hurt, but she is again cast away.

 She has hurt the families of all involved. Neither the President nor her Austrian lover meant to hurt her. They were only looking for kindness and friendship in others.

* * * * *

Next a man named Clyde Bonham came to write. He was tall and thin with brown balding hair. He wore a striped suit.

“I find it disturbing that America must feel so battered by a great man’s mistake -- a mistake that many men make. All men seek passion and the warmth a women can offer. If they do not, they are not human flesh and bone. Only the foolish and pious do not crave love and union.

“There is another life shared by Bill and Monica in a Mongolian tribe. Monica was the male leader -- the chief, and Bill was one of five maidens of the village. The chief had all the women that were his right, and Bill bore several of his children. But she (Bill) was not one of the chief’s favorites, and when she died the chief hardly noticed.

“In an Asian incarnation, Monica was again a male leader with his own lands, workers and concubines. Bill was a woman and the number-six concubine. All her male children grew up to become protectors of the lands and were killed as a result. She (Bill) was heart broken. But she was owned and therefore could not speak of the unpleasant.

“Hillary was also a concubine -- number nine. She and Bill were the best of friends. Their ability to endure hardships in this life is due, to some degree, to the Asian incarnation. It also explains why their child is so important to them.

“Unconsciously, Monica still feels like the master. In Washington, she was jealous and wanted control. Bill and Hillary will survive the humiliation. They do not wish Monica ill, but feel a contrite sadness over being bound to these dramatic karmic tests that keep arising.

“The current situation appears to be a disaster but as a result, Americans have been forced to emotionally struggle and contemplate life. How they view the situation is, to some extent, a reflection of their past-life programming. What is important and what is not?

“Monica will get married. The public will start to forget. In their previous shared incarnations, Bill has always been willing to forgive Monica. He is now forced to keep an honest assembly and is less fearful of sharing his feelings. As a result, he is learning to be himself.”

Q & A
Hurricane Mitch

In response to my questions about the horrific destruction caused by Hurricane Mitch, Abenda had this to say:

“There is so much suffering. Do what you can. Send your money, clothes, food. Even if it never reaches the destination, you will have reached a compassionate destination within your soul. You can not help everyone. This sounds insensitive, but it is true. But kindness comes back to you 10 to 100 fold. Accept that this is so. Trust in the Divine power and that blessings abound. This is not the last disaster. Blessed Be -- Abenda.”

Tara’s Note: The American Red Cross is one of the primary agencies attempting to help the people of Honduras and the islands that were so devastated by the hurricane.

 

Q.
Saddam Hussein

Why is Saddam Hussein so aggressive and obsessed with destroying others? What advice can you provide from the other side?

A.

A man in his 60s, wearing black robes and a red and white turban came to speak. He wrote his name in Arabic, so I cannot duplicate it here.

“I am once a person of Persia. A beautiful and wondrous land. It is made out to be a terrible place, but it is home to families and children just like America. So it is not a place to be despised, only a place that is the same. It is not the people who create wars with other nations, it is corrupt men. You cannot believe that a whole nation does anything other than quake in fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones during a war.

“Saddam is not a gentle man. He is stubborn and transfixed on revenge. This revenge is his karmic past. He does not take kindly to anyone who stands in the way of his glory and his overrated sense of honor. Why I can speak like this is because I am dead. I wish he was more compassionate towards the people of Iraq. Because I knew it as a most beautiful and happy place. I loved it so much and hate to see it going through sad changes mixed with blood and fear.

“Saddam in past lives has been a leader of kingdoms and men. He was French, English, and American Indian. He has been all people, but he is now comfortable in his desert fortress. From this place he succeeds with his political aspirations. He will not stop. He is filled with a mission. It will wane at different times, but not completely stop or go away. Will he affect the world? Not if you assert a sense of control. Assert is the word. Aggression angers everyone. I only wish for the Persia I dearly loved to remain and once again be a wholesome place to love our families.”

* * * * *

President John Kennedy appeared to write through my hand. I was surprised not only to see him, but that he appeared exactly as we remember him.

“Our government must not relax on the Middle Eastern issue. We must think of the greater good of the world. Do not be deceived. I look to the USA to be strong and do the right thing. President Clinton may have made his own personal mistakes, but his integrity for America is untouchable.

“It took me years to heal here on this plane of existence. I chose to live and die as I did as President of the United States. I was brave at the time, but would not want to go through that again. Instead of returning to the earth, for awhile, I will help to inspire other men with ideas. If I were to return now I would have to deal with many karmic mistakes, and I know I’m not yet ready.

“I want to say also that even though you may be scared by the changes and challenges that life presents, you can overcome your fears by connecting with each other and helping to build a better tomorrow for your children and your children’s children. I look forward to again knowing my own someday, but for now I wish them peace and happiness in their personal lives and with their great nation.”

* * * * *

Another US spokesman named Harold Whittaker came in to write. He appeared to be in his 40s and was wearing a tweed suit.

“I am part of an assembly that works to connect with the minds of powerful men in your world. I was a US citizen who believed in equality for all people of all nations. Saddam is a dangerous man primarily because he seeks to glorify himself by ridding his world of the enemy. Americans are his enemy. But as he is a current problem; there will be others of his kind appearing in the Middle East.

“Men in government need to make wise and careful decisions. President Clinton is shaken, but he will regain his footing for the remainder of his term. As you fuss with the Middle East, China is gaining the power to become a more and more dangerous adversary. Keep a watchful eye.”

* * * * *

Abenda writes: “Expect no metamorphosis of man’s earthly ego. The earth is a place to experience the ultimate of love and hate. I wish that those incarnate did not have to experience such pain, but you have chosen this path as a learning process. I well remember my own earthly trials.

“My best advice in regard to adversarial situations, is to express compassion for any and all who feel hopeless, lost or fearful. You never know when it could be you. Be open to help others. Remember, from a karmic perspective, it is not for them but for you -- for all of your tomorrows. I wish you peace and understanding. Abenda.”

* * * * *

 

The following questions were asked October 14, 1998. Tara went into a theta-level trance and her spirit guide Abenda responded via automatic writing.

Q.

Abenda, can you explain the animosity between President Bill Clinton and Ken Starr?

A.

The two men have been enemies for many lifetimes, the following being some of their most interesting incarnations:

The animosity began in Italy over 100 years before the founding of Rome (836 BC). Clinton was then a regional leader. Starr was a rival Barbarian who publicly denounced him. Verbal accusations escalated into armed conflict and Clinton was killed. Soon after, the people hung Starr in a village square.

In 741 AD, in Morocco, Clinton and Starr were sisters who did not get along. Two years apart in age, their father gave Starr away to be married and she died in childbirth the same year. Clinton went on to have a fruitful life.

In 971 AD, they came back together as males living in Turkey. Hate assures karmic reunions. This time, Starr politically worked against Clinton. To Clinton, Starr provided a challenge for his ideas. But Starr ended up stalking Clinton and was banished from the city. Clinton has no real hate for Starr, but Starr is karmically determined to destroy Clinton in anyway he can.

In 1375 AD in France, Clinton is a woman and Starr is born as her child. Clinton died within days of childbirth. If Starr can't kill Clinton one way, then he will another.

Currently, Ken Starr feels he leads a worthy cause, but in reality he is consumed by a desire for vengeance. He is still a stalker. Clinton feels on a soul level that to be a great leader he must conspire with enemies and refuse to give in.

You know and accept that life on your plane is a matter of soul energy interacting with energy. With this understanding, know that Starr is an energy focal point for all who oppose Clinton personally and who oppose his ideological views. So Starr's energy is being fed by others of like mind. Events will have to play all the way out, although to the majority of observers, this makes little sense.

These two souls will have to play out variations of this conflict lifetime after lifetime until one of them rises above the karma by forgiving the other. Then the one who has not forgiven will have to find other entities with a karmic configuration matching their need to experience conflict. Sadly, there is never any shortage of hate-filled souls needing to focus their self-loathing upon others.

 

Q.

In regard to the Swiss-Air crash, can you tell me about the destiny of all aboard the plane? In other words, on a subconscious level, did each person know what was to come? I'm also curious about Aline's son, who was scheduled to be on board, but canceled his European trip to be at his mother's bedside during her surgery. (Fully explained in Aline's letter in Q&A + Letters at this site.)

A.

Everyone who dies in a group accident, be it by explosion, or the crash of a plane, train, boat, or bus, had that karmic date scheduled for crossing over into spirit. On a Higher level, people are aware of what is coming, and the karmic ripples that will result for loved ones and survivors touched by the trauma.

Tara reads such losses in the palms of people's hands, so you know they were destined.

On a soul level, Aline knew that she needed to be a catalyst to help sway his son's subconscious perspective. Her surgery was a highly charged event that generated a state of shock within him.

 

Q.

Wyoming hate crime: Can you explain the rage responsible for two young men torturing and murdering gay student Matthew Shepard?

A.

As difficult as this may be for many to understand, Matthew Shepard knew on a soul level that this was the best course of action to punish his murderers. In 1876, Matthew, as a young woman, accompanied his mother and sister on their journey from Ireland to Boston. They then hired two young men to guide them westward. But once the party reached open territory, the men murdered the women for their possessions and to avoid the arduous trek across the country.

The soul-level rage was Shepard's. In the past life, he survived famine and repression in Ireland only to be murdered in America. This life, he was willing to be a martyr to balance the karmic scales and make sure that justice was done.

The whole nation has been shocked by this murder. As a result, more people will support needed laws against hate crimes and for gender equality. Although the negative karmic bond between Shepard and his adversaries has been intensified, his death has accomplished more than one would perceive by reading the newspaper reports.

 

____________________________

October 1999

Through automatic writing, Tara receives answers to questions about a woman feeling she is not lovable, a brother who has turned hateful, and a man who has never had a mate, known love or even experienced a companion, plus more.

I've recently dealt with three different deaths in my personal life. Each in it's own way has generated some unique psychic experiences. So I'm going to talk about one of them and how my dreams have provided intuitive awareness of what was to come.

In the spring, I had horrific dreams several days in a row, so I thought I'd better ask Abenda about the safety of my family and the meaning of these nighttime communications.

Abenda's words: "No one will be physically hurt in the immediate family, however they will be emotionally upset. There is going to be an accident. You will have to be on your toes to help the distraught. You will need to be available to calm others. Some things will change and never be the same. I'd rather not go into the details as nothing can be changed. It is set to happen in your time and sequence. This will be unfortunate and will be close enough to you that it will not be a minor ordeal. At this time comes tremendous transition and you're going to be dealing with it as well. It is going to be emotionally charged and rather horrific. Stay calm and offer love and compassion, no matter how chaotic the situation. Nurture the mother and the children, they will be deeply hurt. All is as it will be. Remember that death is only a cycle into the next phase of life."

The next morning one of my closest girlfriend's husband killed himself.

He came to me that night and awakened me from sleep. He said he couldn't talk to me in the bedroom, only in the living room. He told me to please convey to his beloved family how sorry he was and if he could take it back, he would. He was thankful that I could see and hear him and he said he was sorry for never liking my profession while living.

I told him that didn't matter and I asked him some questions in hope of helping him. Was he clear on what had happened and where he was? Yes. Was he aware of someone talking to him? Yes. I told him to follow that person into the next phase of his life, because he would have to leave this life behind after the funeral. If he loved his family, he needed to help himself in the only way he could now -- by listening to his guide.

He was anxious for me to stay with him, but with a suicide, the vibrational interaction is less than desirable and can have lingering effects. I ended our communications by telling him I'd talk to him again soon and not to be afraid. This I did, giving me the opportunity to ask him questions and relay to his wife his feelings and regrets.

We need to remember to cherish precious moments and release the boring and negative times. All problems and people will eventually leave our lives, or we will leave their lives. Abenda and I wish you love, prosperity and a peaceful transition into the new millennium. It is time to do a few memorable good deeds, to write some uplifting poems or express positive feelings on paper. Forgive others and do some healing rituals for yourself and some for others. Let's cross over into 2000 doing everything we can individually to project a beautiful consciousness into the future.

* * * * *

For each column, my Spirit Guide Abenda chooses letters to answer, which she feels will relate to many readers. To receive the communications from spirit, I go into a theta-level trance, and Abenda finds someone on the other side that knows the letter writer or a loving entity who is aware of the problem. Under Abenda's carefully orchestrated conditions, this soul controls my hand and the response is received via automatic writing. I also perceive the soul visually while this is transpiring.

Q.
"I'm not lovable!"

"I've struggled with this problem for so many years. I don't feel lovable. At one of your seminars, I even had Richard autograph one of his books to me, saying, "You are lovable," thinking that might make it so. Of course it didn't, because I know in my very soul I am not. I'll be 50 years old this year and I just don't think I can continue to live this way.

"I'm fearful of a regression. I can no longer see or hear my guides. The last three years I've lost almost everything -- my job, car, etc. Now I can't seem to get on my feet again. I know this sounds pitiful, but I'm so lost

and confused. What can I do to allow just a small part of me to feel like I deserve to live.

"Please don't use my name. Too many people I know read Soaring Spirit and they have no idea. I wear a great clown's mask."

A.

I think an understanding of your past lives will help you gain a new perspective. In a past life you were a priest of Atlantis -- a male priest, full of hope and promise. One day, after leaving the temple, you came upon a group of vagabonds that were on the temple steps. You told them that they were worthless. Because they had no jobs, they were scourge upon the earth. These men came to the temple to find a person of mercy. Instead they were scorned by someone representing wisdom. Upon hearing that message, the following day, one of the vagabonds jumped to his death right in front of you. When the story came out, you were forced to leave the priesthood and found yourself alone. You gained work as a cobbler, but felt sorry for yourself for the rest of your life.

In another incarnation, you were a slave in Egypt. When you were old and crippled, instead of sending you home with mercy, a guard whipped you to death. As he whipped you he cursed you for being vermin of the earth. The Egyptian guard was the man who jumped to his death in Atlantis.

Know that your bad judgment in Atlantis has been balanced. You can continue to carry the guilt through incarnation after incarnation or you can release the past with love. Forgive yourself and forgive everyone else involved. To receive love you must give love. Be loving in every way you know how.

Give of yourself to others who seem lost. Can you get a job caring for others in some way? Be busy and productive. I'll be watching you.

   As always, Vendora Moressican.

  Note from Abenda: It is the plight of the world -- the game and quality of love. But love is in everything that is the vibration of earth. Embrace and absorb the universal consciousness of love.

In oneness, Abenda.

Q.
Brother Turns Hateful

"My question is in regard to the relationship between my brother and I. The first 30 years or more we shared a good

relationship that had blossomed into a wonderful closeness. Around 10 years ago I began to feel a shift, Then five years

ago he began to ignore me. Now a recent financial involvement has served as an excuse for an outpouring of unbelievable rage. It was completely unexpected. Buried within his ugly name calling and put downs have been some hints at events that he reports incorrectly. He holds me accountable for his feelings. Even if I had done what he says, it still would not account for the ugliness/rage in his letters. I can only believe that there must be some past-life explanation. Although it appears that our relationship in this life has come to an end, I just can't stop wondering why."

Shelley McWilliams
Long Beach, CA

A.

Your brother wanted you to be more considerate of his hard work and his security and needs. It's a case of too many expectations on a sister, but you have been careless with his feelings in the past -- centering on your own concerns. The only way this could start to heal is if you center your attention on his feelings. It will take time and effort, so it's up to you if you want to do this.

Past life with your brother: You were Chinese brothers and one day you were in the middle of a battle over your father's land. Unprepared, one of you went one way into the woods, the other a different direction. You ran away to new lives in opposite directions. Your relatives were killed and you both assumed you were the only survivor. You lived a good life but did not have much good fortune.

When you were in your fifties, you learned that your brother was living and had become quite well to do. You sent him a note asking that you might be invited to a tea ceremony. This he did. There was a celebration, but your brother no longer found it necessary to be your confidant and friend. He now lived a new life without you. You didn't fit in his schedule. You were sorry that this was not to be.

Continue to wish him well. The relationship will get better.

Love, Ling Chu

 

Note from Abenda: Everyone is open to kind acts. Send him nice cards, small gifts, and fun, joyful, sincere messages -- nothing long worded. Just a greeting. This should change his attitude toward you. Be positive and well meaning to everyone you love -- chances are it will be returned. Even if it isn't, at least you tried.

In oneness, Abenda.

Q.
Never had a mate,
love, companion ...

"In this long and lonely incarnation of 86 years so far, why have I never had a mate, never known love, never loved anyone, never been loved by anyone, and never had a companion or partner? Thank you and Abenda in advance for your illuminating comments on this my long and lonely life."

Wade Dunaway
Oceanside, CA

A.

You were a gypsy along with me, your brother, in 1493 in Romania. We were carefree and lovable guys. But we were quite spoiled with the ladies. When we didn't have women of our camp, we had women of the villages. We relished the sensations of dangerous encounters. There were many children. They might have been yours or mine. You were nice to them, but never claimed them as your own. It was a carefree life until I died of a fever at age 33. You hung over me and told me you would miss me always. But there was no one saying this to you as you expired.

In an incarnation that followed, you were again born in Romania. This time I returned not as your brother, but as your wife. You truly loved your wife, but she was a bit naughty. Remember I was your wild brother in the past life. I had an affair, just for a lark and out of curiosity. As your wife, I really did love you, but when I found myself pregnant, I confessed that the child might not be yours. Even at the time of birth, you were still peeved at me. Complications ensued and I died in your arms, leaving you with the living child.

You were so very upset, but you were good to the boy, although you weren't sure he was yours. But he was the only thing left of your wife, so you cared for him until he left home at age 21. You only saw him one more time in that life, for after marrying, he went to work on his wife's farm. You were so sad and you missed him very much.

In another life, we came back together again as man and wife in Mexico. This was a hard life and there were no children because I was barren. You feared she (I) might leave you again too soon, so you died at 36.

Now you've decided to work on yourself and your intellectual strength so that next time you'll be mentally stronger -- knowing you can survive on your own. This has also given me a chance to regenerate my body so that I'll be able to produce children in a future incarnation. You have already thought of a Scandinavian country. Together we have experienced such love and companionship, we always neglected making any other close friends. This is something we need to work on in the future. Starting now, you have very good karma.

Wishing you love and peace until next time, F. Benectonina.

 

Note from Abenda: We all need to be aware and act in accordance with the natural workings of the greater laws. Wade's gypsy life of random sexual acts left lonely children looking for their fathers. Natural laws dictates that he must experience the kind of loneliness he caused in others. So this life is a balancing lifetime as well as a strengthening lifetime. Remember wisdom erases karma.

* * * * *

The following Q&A is in addition to the letters that appeared in the Soaring Spirit column. The Web offers additional space that we don't have in the magazine.

Q.

 "Abenda says we need more laws against hate crimes. Murder is already illegal and still people do it. An increase of love to prevent crime instead of legalisms to punish after the fact seems more useful and less of a gain in ascendance for the authoritarians. Would you ask Abenda to explain her view on this matter?"

Brian Albin
Dorena, OR

A.

"Schoolhouse earth brings many people to work out some problems with their negative karma. I advocate peace, love and compassion. Laws can help to restore peace so that others can concentrate on love and compassion. Of course with all of Man's laws there can be misuse.

"We've already discussed the karmic reasons for the murder. As a place of learning, one of the primary reasons your nation has advanced is because it is a nation of laws. By comparing the present to the barbarous past, you have come a long way.

"Don't be discouraged by others lack of humanity. Unconditional love and acceptance spreads by example. Live up to your own sense of truth and justice. The earth will change, laws will come and go, but the evolutional quest will continue until you all get it right."

In love and oneness, Abenda

Q.

"I was sexually abused by my step-father for years. My husband's father sexually molested his three sisters and brother. My husband has no memory of molestation. I went through two divorces before being able to resolve some of my issues, which cleared the way for me to be with my husband and soulmate. We've been married eight years and have two beautiful children. But my children by the previous marriages are a different story: my oldest son is gay, my next oldest has a child out of wedlock and will have nothing to do with the mother and child and my 16-year old son is full of anger and treats his girlfriend hatefully. But my younger children are a pleasure to be around, although my daughter displays considerable anxiety and fearfulness.

"Can you talk to me about my current path? Have I overcome the obstacles in my life to the point I could pursue writing goals at this time? What obstacles do I still need to resolve?"

Colleen O'Steen
Galena, MO

A.

Two women visited me with messages for you, Colleen:

"I want to say what a pleasure it is to speak you. I am Aunt Rose. We shared many lifetimes. Once in 1681 in old Yugoslavia we were very fortunate and lived in a nice warm house. We had some servants and land. Our fathers were brothers and we were cousins in that life. Our houses were near each other on the property.

"We loved growing flowers and had a big vegetable garden. You really loved the land. I was an indoor kind of child, but you always pulled me outside to show me the surrounding beauty. I was scared of life as you were not. One day, you told me you were feeling sickly. You were 19-years old and I asked if you thought it was serious. Maybe you were putting off your betrothal to a young man your father had decided you would marry. Because of this illness, within two months you died and left a large empty hole in my heart. I tended your garden and flowers until I died. I never married, preferring to remain at home and take care of my parents. You changed my life. I have since reincarnated to be your sister and your aunt in our last shared lifetime. As your aunt I became a nurse, fulfilling a need stemming from the life in which you died so quickly. Thank you for being such a loving person. Your life has already begun to turn around and things will continue to improve. Stay loving and have hope. I love you, Aunt Rose."

Here is the message from the second contact, your spirit guide:

"I am your guide, Arteminelia. I was an art student in Greece as a young woman -- actually as the model. I couldn't work on the art, but in secret, I did anyway. You are surrounded by love in your current life. I know it has been a challenging road. First of all you have cleared the last of your karma with the man you knew as your step-father. He has loved you over many centuries and allowed himself to take advantage of you in this lifetime. You set it up to alleviate any further contact with him. This relates back to an incarnation in Italy -- 200 BC. In that life you died, leaving your children orphans to survive on their own. You didn't want to die, and although it was part of your plan, you have always felt guilty on a soul level. So this life you were the abused child in attempt to alleviate the guilt (false-guilt karma). Thus you experienced what your children had to experience in that life.

"This also relates to the problems you have with your children in this life. You want to help souls who have felt neglected and unloved. Continue to love all your children. Tell them that you love them. It will be one of their greater gifts. Go forward, do your best. I am always here to help guide you. Love and I wish you greater understanding, Amante' Arteminelia."

Note from Abenda: Continue on your path, Colleen. I wish you peace and as a loving mother, be a guiding mother also. Seek counseling for the various challenges your family faces. Be open to the communication and exchange of ideas. In regard to your writing, it may not be for the reasons you believe, but the process will be of great value for you to explore. Do take this time for yourself and be open to all the growth it will inspire. In oneness, Abenda."

Q.

My question concerns my father who died of lung cancer early this year. We were always pretty close to each other, although we had differences of opinion quite frequently. Does my father still love and care about me and my family? We all took his passing hard and we are still grieving quite badly. I also wish to know if my father is in one of the higher levels or even on an average level in the spiritual world. He never believed in an afterlife and resented me trying to convince him otherwise, even though he did believe in God.

"All in all, he was a good man. He was good to his family and friends, of which he had many. I only hope he is happy and at peace on the other side. "

Bob Lake
Pittsburgh, PA

A.

"Your dad is doing very well at this time. I am James, his friend and guide. I guided him here when he crossed over. We have shared past lives as friends and once as brothers. He was with me in some wars and we cared for each other during illnesses. I couldn't face giong back to an earth-life existence, so I decided to help out on the guiding side of assisting humans.

"Dave and I are still very good friends. He sleeps now, in a place far from this vibration. He listened to me quite easily when he came to this realm, and he kept explaining to me why he thought there was no afterlife. But I told him not to worry about such things. He was a kind, brave and good person, and that is all the requirements necessary for a safe journey to this realm. Since he was so sick when he died, I suggested that he could go to a special hospital to clear that all up and he was up for that idea. So I took him to a place like a hospital where he can sleep for awhile and he is given replenished energy if I can call it that. It will recharge him and regenerate a healthy state. When he comes out, he will be aware of his life and the path of his individual energy. He will also understand any remaining karma he needs to resolve. He will also remember how much he loves you and your family. You were loved in this life and he will continue to love you in the future. I wish you peace in your heart. James.

A note from Abenda: "Dear Bob, Sending love to a family member on this side of the veil will be felt by them as you will his love if you are open and receptive. Sending love enhances your father's state of sleep and helps to generate the restorative energy. Good luck on your journey. In oneness, Abenda."
