A few of my friends and I get together once a week to debate subjects and questions of interest to each of us. While we tend to agree on many subjects we have found no commonality among us on the questions that follow. Would you be kind enough to offer your perspective?
I have heard that it is not okay to contact dead relatives and/or friends on our own or through psychics and mediums, because it delays or disturbs their spiritual progress. Is this true? Secondly, suppose we attempt to contact someone who we know has transitioned, but who may have already incarnated again, who or what are we contacting?
Each being, incarnate or otherwise, is in command of all of the resources at their disposal, and the spiritual progress they might attain is not measured by how many delays or deviations they experience. With spiritual progress, the glass is always at least half-full, and never half-empty. The law of correspondence indicates that while incarnate upon the earth, there is an urge to define oneself by what has not yet been accomplished or understood, while beyond the earth plane, celebrations honor the slightest move toward wholeness. There is no measuring stick to hold you to account, or to judge your inconscient crimes against yourself or others. Your PhD from Harvard is worthless beyond the dimension you now occupy. Likewise, murderous hands and thoughts will also dissolve.
Spiritual progress is measured dimensionally, and each dimension has certain attributes and elements that are associated with it. For instance, the third dimension is associated with growth through struggle. Right from the start there is a struggle to birth one's physical body, and then to maintain it so that it will last long enough to accomplish what one has set out to do. This is true of for all beings and kingdoms although consciousness certainly plays a part. The physical elements associated with the earth plane are carbon and crystal. Opposite in appearance but similar in vibration, these represent the lower self and the higher self. The nonphysical elements associated with the earth plane are ether and akash, representative of spirit's ability to act upon potential. While ether and akash are both nearly invisible, their association with the physical realm makes them measurable under certain circumstances.
All that you are now and all that you have ever been exists as energy. This energy can be traced backwards and forwards and through both inner and outer worlds. Through density and light all that is individually and uniquely you stands out from among the rest. Considering the subject of cremation for a moment, we might take note that ash remains with the physical plane; akash, or the experiential energy attained in the life remains with the astral plane, and ether, the spirit essence associated with the life moves dimensionally as governed by the soul's progression. Energy dissolves but does not disappear, do you see? The existence of someone or something cannot be erased or completely obliterated - this is a Master Law.
It is not possible to impair the progress of those who have passed beyond this dimension, because their physical and nonphysical elements have been rearranged to suit the needs of their next experience. The same applies to the buried, the mortared and martyred, and to those whose remains have been scattered to the four winds as dust. The dearly departed have done just that, wouldn't you? Still, ether and akash take a long time to dissolve, and the residue they leave behind, sweet or acrid as it may be, finds a temporary respite with that which seems most familiar. Scents associated with a certain place or being often remain discernable, as well as memories associated with loved ones, which sometimes seem almost more real than is possible. This is because the energy associated with these events or beings is now shared between multiple dimensions of understanding; it is no longer just yours or just theirs. This sharing of like or common energies is exactly what allows you to contact your beloved friends and family.
It is normal to expect that there would be less interest in the dimension one has recently transferred from. For instance, if you had recently graduated from a university, how much interest would you have in the grammar school you once attended? You see, the ties lessen and it becomes more of a sweet-tinged curiosity, akin to perusing a photograph album or a yearbook. As with all things, the level of interest between dimensions is unique to the individual soul and the family associated with it.
If your connection with your friend or relative was a strong one, the need for a psychic, medium or other intermediary is not necessary, but you must trust the connection that is already present and then work to establish and strengthen it. Some find a deeper, more meaningful connection when it is a personal exchange, and others find greater benefit and clarity with the assistance of an adept. By the way, not all channels are skilled in such endeavors, nor do they want to be. There are those who believe that visitations from the departed will impair their own progress, the very opposite of what your question implies.
You may or may not be aware that the loved one you have contacted has moved on, because in general terms, you will be contacting the residue of energy that is left behind. Like breadcrumbs or the comet's trail, this will only guide you so far and you will always be one or more steps behind, at least from your current perspective. Generally, if the being has moved into not only another dimension, but a new life as well, there will be even less of an interest to cross paths for old times' sake. Of course there are exceptions to this, and certain bonds defy the laws of time and dimension.
To sum up, each lifetime is but a role to play. One's presence in any one life is most significant in the present moment. If you wish to communicate with a family member, a friend, or other beloved, do so now. Why wait and wonder if your true feelings have found their way to your intended recipient? Likewise, if your words have malicious intent or are purposeless in meaning, why create a trail that will have an energetic residue of its own? Whenever possible, be clear in both words and intent. Express feelings as accurately as possible, taking responsibility for all that you are and do. Take action when it is appropriate that you do so, and not to illicit a reaction or response on the part of another. If your thoughts and feelings are muddy, recycle them until they become clearer and of benefit to the environment you would offer them into. Live in the present moment while remembering that all moments are as one - expansive, collective, and dimensional.
In cases where transplanted organs are used to renew or enhance the life of another, does the donor's essence or energy follow the recipient? Do the two become linked in some meaningful way? Does it matter whether the donor makes his choice in life or upon his passing?
Life, including all that it animates, contains and sustains is purposeful. Every cell, atom and creative thought is designed to be of service to itself and to the whole. The heart is designed to complement the needs of the other organs as well as to unite the entire organism that comprises the human body. Hemispherical acknowledgment (recognition of more than one side) is evident in organs such as eyes, lungs and kidneys. Each of these can perform approximately one and one-half times their required function before becoming overly fatigued and rendering themselves ineffectual. Likewise, an average person can carry one and one-half times their weight when in excellent physical condition or when life demands the extraordinary. A human being can also assume one and one-half times an average amount of responsibility before suffering any loss due to over-burdensome stress. These averages can change very quickly during extreme environmental conditions, and when they do, both the inner and the outer world of the individual are restructured forevermore. For instance, the body never forgets the life altering effects and subsequent decisions that are made as a result of a heart attack.
Long ago, at another time and in another place, but still within your cellular memory, there existed a species of beings that were also humanoid in nature, though not terran in composition. An unfortunate series of environmental factors had crippled this species, debilitating their bodies and significantly reducing their numbers. Finally, a team of experts was able to isolate the source of the trouble, and they set about the arduous task of bypassing certain organs, restructuring others, and reorganizing the body's ability to rebalance itself. The goal was to teach the depleted aspects of both being and body to relearn their relationship to the whole, whereby nurturing wellness would replace the struggle to survive. Within a few decades this species, which had nearly annihilated itself, returned from near extinction. They thrived in both physical wellness and spiritual health until evolution carried them into and through the shift in which they became nonphysical in nature. Without going into great detail at this time, and for the sake of remaining attuned to one subject, we will simply acknowledge these beings as one of your genetic ancestral parents.
Memories of the ability to implement self-correcting changes still exist within your cellular make-up, and from them you have derived many of the organ transplant procedures that are used today. Although these memories have served you well, there is much that you are only beginning to remember, such as how to successfully regenerate rather than clone organs. These technologies require the consciousness of the body to request this from itself, while it supports and then completes the process. It is a simultaneous three-step process. For the most part, humanity does not yet embrace the consciousness or the perfection within each cell, and as long as separation exists, humanity will hold itself apart from answers that involve unity and the healing that accompanies them.
On the other hand, humanity has devised other means of bypassing and reconstructing the body's organs when necessary. The mere fact that you are able to transplant an organ from one body into other is an acknowledgment that humanity is indeed one great organism, a giant beingness that likes to think of itself as separate and individual. Individuality allows you to experience yourselves as creative and unique, and to perceive others as distinctly different from you. Anomalies within the genetic contributions you carry mark differences in blood type, organ size, and adaptability to change. These subtleties further accentuate beliefs in separateness, and because you believe them, your bodies do, too.
A successful transplant relies upon a willingness to receive or import something foreign, and heretofore carry and care for it as if it were one's own. It seems easy enough to imagine, but let's place it in another context. Imagine that you are an Israeli mother who is losing her child to disease and cannot save it. In order not to lose herself in the process, she is told that she must receive the child of a Palestinian woman who has herself recently succumbed to struggle and relinquished her body in the process. In essence, the choice is to receive the child of an enemy and to nurture and love it as if your very life depended upon it, do you see? As long as both body and beingness respond to transplants thusly, their success will be limited. A belief in separation on the part of the being is tantamount to an instruction to the body to mount a full-scale response to an impending foreign invasion.
Consciousness is the key through which the door to this subject will be changed forever. The recipient and the donor are no different - even in life or death there is no difference. Once the illusion of separation is seen as just that, compatibility between donors and recipients will increase and the need for anti-rejection drugs will decrease. In the meantime and whenever possible, it is important that the donor be as conscious as possible when choosing to become a donor. For instance, it is best to avoid thinking, "After I'm gone they can do whatever they want with what's left since I'm not going to need it anymore," because the energy of that which is carelessly discarded may indeed be carried forward. This does not link the donor and the recipient as your question indicates, but it does reduce the life force and the vitality of the experience. Would you rather your dinner consist of a meal that was prepared especially for you, or would you be just as pleased with what was left over from another's dining experience?
Immediately upon the death of an individual, and sometimes even slightly before, vital organs are harvested from one body, stabilized and preserved, and then rushed to a needful and waiting individual. While hopeful recipients take turns agonizingly wondering if their long wait is over, a struggle for the organ itself is developing in hospital corridors all over the world. Vital organs have become commodities, bought sold and traded behind the closed doors of even the most reputable medical facility. The sale of such organs funds research in areas where funding is often in short supply or non-existent. It also helps defray the cost of lobbyists and other professional haranguers who must curry attention in ways and places where discretion and indiscretion meet. In other words, the donor and the recipient have a third, not so silent partner, which not only influences the vitality of the energy, but the direction of the organ itself. The answer to your question, a seemingly simple one, has more twists and turns than a one-eyed ox tethered to a blind man's cart!
If you are a hopeful recipient, let peaceful intent draw to you what was always compatible with you, even before a need arose. If you are a donor, allow your consciousness to best direct your gift so that you will also benefit from the process. If you are a seller or a purchaser of a commodity, be aware of the terms of sale. Read the fine print as they say, and make certain that you are prepared to fulfill what contractual obligations may be required. And if you are an agent or broker of such an exchange hold fast to your soul and do not tarry on your journey, for another more skilled than you will soon come along and inquiry as its salability as well!
The very near future will explore the many facets of this question as well as others that dance in the same garden. The answers are not nebulous or uncertain, but they are undetermined as of this writing. Humanity is poised to uncover a bit more of its past as well as to embark on a more specifically attuned future. Mysteries revealed already peek between veiled thoughts while waves of consciousness wait their turn.
