I became conscious in a small, claustrophobic, untidy flat above some kind of grocer's shop. Everything was dirty and the smells were vile: rotting food and human waste. White Owl extended his straight arm and silently pointed into a corner of the drab bed-sit where I saw a crumpled form, twisting and writhing in the bed. It was a woman of great years, thin and pale, with short-cropped greasy grey hair and a tight thin mouth. Her eyes were like slits in her yellow skin. In her troubled sleep, she groaned and wrung her hands. Her heart was giving out. I sensed she was just about to die. I watched her take her last breath and then, slowly, she gave up her spirit, which vacated its bitter shell in urgency. Instantly, she scrambled to her spirit feet and rummaged around the room, trying to lift papers and objects, bits of shredded matting and stained teacups. 'Searching for money', said my guide. Now she was kneeling by the dishevelled bed, weeping profusely, not even noticing that her 'dead' body lay under the sheets. White Owl quietly bid me stay at one end of the room, and he stepped forward. In a twinkling of an eye, he raised an outstretched hand and all his form glimmered golden-white. He was now visible, and she looked up - then immediately cowered down in utter fear as he spoke: 'Woman, why do you weep?' '… I think I have died, or is this... a dream?' 'No, you have indeed crossed into the land from whence you originally came'. '… But I felt nothing, no pain.' Suddenly she screamed and cried then ran from the room. 'Where did she go?' I asked. 'To a field outside, where she buried jewellery and semi-precious stones several years back. She now wants to retrieve them. This woman is Earthbound: her lust for material things binds her to these well-frequented surroundings. She will not come away until she releases these desires and then wishes for a better life, one comprised of more giving and less taking.' ' "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also",' I quoted. 'Just so, There are many millions like this soul in my world, trapped by their greed and thoughts, "haunting" or frequenting their places and possessions all over the Earth-plane. They do not wish to progress, even though this road is open to them; many will not even accept they have made the transition.' 'I perfectly understand...' |
