This is a bit unusual - we had no plans for this particular discussion, even though last week in the midst of a conversation with Jennifer's father, a text came in to Jennifer's phone about someone losing their grandson.
I didn't know if he wanted to continue that discussion, but I left it up to Luana to see what she wanted to discuss and who was here. In this case, the grandfather came forth again to follow up on the death of his grandson. Luana steered the conversation into a general discussion of people who "choose to leave the stage early."
We asked some class members who had left the stage early to weigh in, Anthony Bourdain and Robin Williams. At some point, I asked Luana a direct question about a phone conversation I had yesterday and she correctly identified who it was related to in her world.
She then had us speak with a recently departed actress - at some point, Jonathan Krane (who is interviewed in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside") came through for her and and we asked the questions we normally do - "who was there to greet you on the other side?" "Do you have any messages for your loved ones still on the planet?" "Is there anything you want to express about your experience now?"
Everything she says is in line with the research in "Hacking the Afterlife" and "Architecture of the Afterlife." It wasn't planned - as can be seen on camera. As noted, it's a difficult topic, but a necessary one - what people claim is that not everyone chooses a lifetime that they can handle, but eventually we all go home - ("We are all walking each other home") but that no one's life "ends" - people claim that we find ourselves on the flipside.
However, that being said, this actress who recently departed offers a unique pov - to "fight like hell" - fight as if one was fighting cancer to remain here on the planet.
When the desire pops in to "exit the stage early" Jennifer hears a specific methodology of how to deal with it; "find someone immediately. Ask for help. Call for help. If help is not available, to force oneself to give it 24 hours as something will happen in that interim. Ask for direct help from one's guides and teachers - they are always available. If one can't think of how to do that, ask for direct intervention from one's mother - if not on the planet, then off the planet. If one doesn't have a mother to turn to, their guides are always, always, always available."
Finally, we quote Anthony Bourdain's comments about "learning meditation" and finding a way to focus on changing the mindset in that fashion. Also a general discussion of the research done by Richard Davidson that shows that meditation can "cure or alleviate symptoms of depression."
A lively discussion about a difficult topic.
I've left out the names of the folks interviewed in this description as we're not trying to draw people to this conversation. The people who have found these videos, who are aware of the kind of work we are doing will not be offended by this discussion. It's a requirement in Jennifer's methodology that I offer the first name.
I don't assume everyone who watches these clips knows who I'm referring to, if they do or do not - that's okay too. It's a general discussion about the flipside.
There are more in depth discussions in the books "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" part one, part two and book three. Not for everyone. If one is aware of the previous research, perhaps take a look. The point is to demonstrate that our loved ones are not far away if we take the time to learn how to directly communicate with them.
If someone is thinking of leaving the stage early seek professional help. Call a hotline. Or as described here - grab a friend or a stranger. Learn how to meditate, but find and seek help.
There's a reason we all signed up to be here - volunteered to be here - we are never ever alone, our guides and loved ones are always nearby. We need to remember that at all times.
But if someone is talking about it, find them professional help - call a hotline - or force them out of their loop, get them into nature, the best tonic for whatever ails one. Important to discuss. We are all just walking each other home. Take someone's hand who might need it.
My two cents.
