Creating Alliances, Creating Allies

Another possible title: "Allies in life are also potential allies after death"

The structure of Souls in the universe I see quite different than I was taught as a boy in the 1950s. As I became more of an intuitive during my life ongoing I came to see the universe more whether people are living as human beings or in between lifetimes as human beings or Souls who never incarnate as human beings as something quite extraordinary.

The varieties of experiences of Souls through incarnating as various types of life forms continues to amaze me today after living 73 years already here on earth. So, whether you are living in a human body or are between human bodies or are choosing never to incarnate as a human being souls are often creating alliances and creating allies.

Why do souls do this?

I think it's about not wanting to be alone all the time. It's sort of like finding someone to play chess with, even incarnating as a human being is a form of entertainment of sorts in that time and space gives one more variables to deal with much like the chess pieces on a chessboard give an almost unlimited series of moves that one might make on either side. So, creating alliances and allies is mostly about making friends and acquaintances of other souls to share infinity with  in various ways.

People who think that life is ONLY about making money for example, are very short sighted. Though money is important in feeding and clothing yourself and where you live there is much more to it all than money.

I think money is maybe like the icing on the cake of life whereas friendships and acquaintances and forming alliances with people in various ways is much more important in the long run of any souls existence throughout infinity.

IF you think about how money was created it first was things like shells gathered from a beach and then later coins stamped by rulers to denote wealth in various ways. So, most people then never had any money at all just whatever they made or farmed themselves along the way. So, slowly money became a means of exchange between first wealthy people and very slowly this money exchange slowly but slowly filtered down to where poor people valued money too.

However, alliances and creating allies (Creating Friends and acquaintances) is the primary goal in life whether it is creating a mate to have a family with or creating friendships that are useful in business and life in general or creating friends as you grow up in various kinds of schools from grade school through college these alliances and friendships and acquaintances become the basis of a meaningful life here on earth.

And these friendships and alliances change often as you move through your life in various ways.

There is an interesting Tibetan Saying: "Through time Friends become enemies and enemies become friends. As a result it is in your enlightened self interests to be kind to all beings you meet."

I agree with this statement after living 73 years here on earth. People who are close to you might be friends and allied with you and then because they are older than you they might die before you and then you might be left alone if all your friends were older than you for example. As a 73 year old I have lost hundreds of people who I was close to during my life from Grandparents to parents to aunts and uncles and now cousins and also friends.

So, for me it wasn't about them becoming enemies it was about them being older than me and dying before me so I was left more alone than before.

However, the hardest thing is to say goodbye to your peers around your own age. When I had to say goodbye to A childhood friend in church in 2006 it was very hard. 

When he passed away he tried to tell me that he had passed away. I heard him say he was gone to me but I didn't want to believe it. It's great sometimes to be able to know when people are talking to you that are alive or passed away but it doesn't mean you can emotionally deal with it properly when friends pass away and then tell you they have passed away from the other side.

Finally, a friend from church (who recently passed away in her 90s) called me on my cell phone to tell me she sensed our mutual friend had passed away. I still couldn't believe he was gone but I left phone messages on each of his 7 phone numbers and when I got no answer back within 24 hours I began to think she was right since she was the most gifted psychic in this way that I had ever met at this point in my life.

Finally after no answer I called my friend's sister who I dated from age 17 to 19 but who now was married and living in Texas with her husband. They called the police in Los Angeles for the area he lived in in the San Fernando Valley area and they found him but he had passed away several days before. So, this is how his body was found. This was in 2006 when I lost this my oldest friend from church who was a couple of years older than me then. So, he was gone at age 62.

The next old friend I lost was in 2011 who was my best friend from Junior High through High School and we had remained friends until he had to join the Air Force and go to Viet Nam in the war there. This separated us for about 20 years until I found him at Yahoo online in my 40s. I think his handle was oval window 54 I think then because he had a 1954 VW oval window car that was a collectors item. He was always very into cars. So, we reconnected as friends in the 1990s and I lost him in 2011 and I remember not being able to speak the day of his funeral in Bakersfield, California where he was buried with military honors because he was a Viet Nam Veteran. This was one of the hardest days of my life to deal with. He and I had rebuilt car engines and raced cars and climbed mountains and surfed together and run dune buggies and motorcycles across the deserts of California too. We had been friends since I gave him my newspaper route when I was 10 and then we became great friends starting in 7th grade on. This was so hard to lose this 2nd great old friend in 2011 especially after losing my oldest friend in 2006. I have only one more friend like this still alive and we started climbing mountains together in 1969 starting with Half Dome in Yosemite National park. We also climbed Mt. Shasta together in 1970 which is another amazing milestone of my life too.

So, now I have one good friend left from the old days and another friend from the 1980s on and then there are my children who are very close to me too and their friends and my wife which I travel with a lot because we both like traveling now that I'm mostly retired and she is semi retired.

The point I guess that I'm making here is that old friends and old relatives that you have been close to all of your life are not really replaceable.

However, often they are on the other side helping you quite often too.

I have felt my parents helping me a lot since they both passed away: my father in the mid 1980s and my mother around 2008. And I have felt all my friends and relatives helping me in various ways since each of them passed away too. So, many of your angels are your relatives and friends passed away who continue to help you from the other side.

So, it is very important to be kind to all beings because you are going to want their help after they pass away. You want them to be helping you after they pass away which is a good reason to be kind to them and helpful to them while they are all still alive.

Psychologically speaking, even if you don't believe in an afterlife it might be helpful to sort of believe in it especially when you start losing friends and relatives just as a way to not kill yourself when you lose the love of your life or your children or a dear friend or a dear parent along the way.

I know myself I thought losing my father in 1985 would be the worst thing that ever happened to me. NOPE. Losing my mother after a bought of senile Dementia from 1999 or 2000 until she passed away not knowing who I was or any of my children were in 2008 was 100 times worse than losing my father when he was 69 simply because of the horror of Senile Dementia or Alzheimers and the harm it does while it kills relatives and friends and what it does to the living who have to try to live through all this.

So, even if you don't really believe in an afterlife pretending you do when all these deaths and awful things come down might save your sanity and your life during that process.

The main thing I learned as my mother regressed down to 4 years old and to a baby before she went into a coma with a "Death Rattle" for two months and passed away was that: 

"LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING!" What I mean by this is people who are dying are not coming back and if you depend upon them to always be there then it can only be the end of you.

So, when someone is dying you better get used to them being gone because they aren't physically coming back likely ever (unless you believe in reincarnation) like I do.

 I was so very very grateful that I needed to take care of my wife and children. After my mother almost burned down her apartment we had the legal liability of putting her in a facility for 24 hour care for the next 7 years of her life until she died. This was the hardest thing I ever had to do. In fact, I couldn't do it, my wife and son had to make ALL the arrangements because I couldn't do this because of promises made to my Dad that I could not keep legally and for many other reasons.

So, you might have no idea what you are going to have to face when loved ones either pass away or begin to pass away. Unless you are really strong it could be the end of you. It almost was the end of me to deal with my Mother's last 10 years of her life. My mother and father and I were very close as a family and we had each other's back always. But, at the end of someone's life often you have to make decisions you never would ever want to make but then legally you have no choice but to protect the living from the dying.

If you are an adult you need to read carefully what I have written here so far. Because if you live long enough you are likely going to have to face some of this too that I did.

To be grown up enough to face what I have had to face was always unimaginable until it happened to me.

So, I'm alive only
