Had the most unusual dream last night. It was long and involved, and I was in some kind of limousine... the world zipping by outside, and I was focused on the individuals inside this limo. And there was a young child in the limousine, funny, giggling... but by the end of this dream, he was 21... long hair, blonde, easy laughter. Kind of a surfer dude.
And realizing that I'd been in this limo driving around for over 20 years, I said "Wait a minute. Who are you, and why am I dreaming about you?" He said "I'm your son."
He smiled, matter of factly, revealing something I did not know, and could not have conceived of. And then I did the math, and sure enough, it's possible that he was a child that we did not have because of a miscarriage a long, long time ago.
I bring it up, not to disturb anyone - but it made me think about the onset of life. What people say under deep hypnosis about the nature of life is consistent and unusual. One guide described it as "uniting two photons of energy, one male, one female - not necessarily either or more or less of one, but those are the easiest words to use - and they're overseen by a group of souls who are like caretakers. Then bits of energy are added, here and there, until they're "old enough" or "ready" to take life in some form. It might be on the planet, it might be somewhere else. They're assigned a guide to watch over all of their lives, and together with their guide, they map out what kind of journey they're going to have."
In my case, I had this discussion with my guide - someone who used the analogy of a "giant canvas." He said "think of a blank canvas, and each lifetime is color. And Richard and I worked out all the various colors we'd like to explore and use, and at some point we'll look at the canvas and say "you need more red here, or more blue here..." and at the end of all of his lifetimes, we'll have this amazing portrait of a life well lived.
He said "And then at that point, when Richard has gone through all of his lifetimes, and this canvas is finished, he will have the option to become a guide, and then he'll oversee someone else's journey." He said "when I graduated from all of my lifetimes, Richard was my graduation gift."
Ok.
Like a diploma on a plate.
Handed over to a guide; here you go. Now get to work.
But in terms of each lifetime, it's worth considering how or why we choose to come to this planet, to be born in this era.
We live in an era where abortion is legal, and there's a hot debate whether or not life begins at inception.
Well, the research is consistent in this area, and it bears repeating; we choose to come here, we choose to be born, we choose the manner and person and method of that birth. We do so with the guidance of our spiritual guides, friends and loved ones in the between lives realm.
This is not my opinion belief or philosophy. It is just consistent in the research. Sorry if that bothers people - it's not my intent to bother anyone. But it is my intent to report what the research consistently shows.
Michael Newton did over 7000 hypnosis sessions, Dr. Helen Wambach did over 2000; both had the same results. I've filmed 40 sessions, also had the same results.
So what about miscarriages, stillbirths, abortions? Who are these folks and why did they choose to not be here?
Every story is unique.
I have one close friend who lost her baby just prior to birth. She had a profound vivid dream sometime later where she "spoke" to her baby - and recognized him as someone she's known for many lifetimes. In his own words he "Changed his mind" just prior to coming here. He "thought he could handle it" and then decided he "could not." In her vision, she saw they had many lifetimes together. Did this help her recover from her pain and loss? I don't know. I'm just reporting what she said.
In my lifetime I've known many women who've had abortions or miscarriages. And in some of the research I've done, either via mediums or while a person is under hypnosis, or even during a near death experience - someone "meets" someone in the afterlife that is reported to be their "sister" (in "Heaven is For Real" during his NDE he met a sister he didn't know had died in childbirth, or in Eben Alexander's "Proof of Heaven" he's guided by a woman he later learns was a sister he didn't know he had), sometimes people meet brothers or sisters who died after coming here, and in some cases meet brothers or sisters that were "supposed to be here but couldn't make it."
I don't know what this dream was about - but it was a startling revelation to my conscious mind, meeting a son I didn't know, had never met, but who was letting me know that he was always with me and his mom, no matter what our "current reality" might be.
Oddly affirming.
It makes one wonder if all births are "meant to be" - after all, someone signs up to be part of our world, and then we decide they should not be. I've always been an advocate of free choice, but perhaps in the future, part of counseling might include a hypnotherapy session where the mother (or father) gets to connect with this soul that is planning on coming here, and wants in on the decision whether to come or not.
I'd hasten to add, that everyone has their own path and journey, and I'm not here to admonish or tell anyone what their path and journey should be. But I am here to say that consciousness doesn't occur at conception - it only opens the door to that person who is planning to come here.
Mind bending, isn't it?
So I'm editing together some of my "Hacking the Afterlife" sessions with Jennifer Shaffer. It's hard to find a way to tell these stories - basically Jennifer and I meet up, have lunch, and then I interview "whoever shows up."
The interviews are free wheeling, accompanied by noisy restaurants, clinking cutlery, and occasional jokes that some might find bizarre, even offensive. I'm not sure how much of that to change, cut out, or leave in - as the raw nature of these conversations are part of the unusual investigations I'm doing.
For example, most people prefer to have their music recorded on a sound stage in a quiet setting, so they can really hear the music - I'm a guy who likes the raw open air sound of people performing in their natural setting. In my CD of the Nechung Monks I recorded them live in a temple. You can hear birds chirping, clocks ticking, monks pouring tea. The quality of the sound includes all the other prayers done in the same place.
But I understand why we have microphones isolate so we can hear dialog. Robert Altman was a fan of overlapping sound - some people found it crazy making - but others found it liberating. Our ears are always being inundated with sound, and it's part of our own filtering that allows us to focus on one voice at a time.
But back to my dream.
I asked this boy what his name was. He laughed. "Let's call me "Zero" as I don't really have one." I said "Zero? That's an odd thing to call you, it's not really a name." He smiled and said "Right."
So Zero. Nice to meet you. It may very well have just "been a dream." But it also may have pointed to something more profound than any dream - those that are with us, part of our journey, are never not part of our journey.
I'm continuing my research as best I can, and that new research will go into the book "The Afterlife Expert." Thanks for tuning in.
And realizing that I'd been in this limo driving around for over 20 years, I said "Wait a minute. Who are you, and why am I dreaming about you?" He said "I'm your son."

Fascinating subject - than you for sharing your dream of Zero!
I am currently about half-way through Hacking The Afterlife. Listening, that is. The part with Robin Williams made me cry - in a good way! He told me to not be afraid to make people laugh, to get over my fear of what other people think or might think of me "making a fool of myself".
Already looking forward to reading or listening to another of your books.
(If you publish comments here, would you please strip my name/email down to a simple DeeIAm - thanks!)
