Thank you for sharing your experience about how the great brown bear gives you bravery. I have had lots of losses in the last couple of years and I am very spiritual but can’t see the path ahead of me. I was told that someone would be riding on a big brown bear this spring to help me. What form of symbolism do you think this may come as and do you have any thoughts on how I can have excitement about an unknown future.

Whenever tragic loss occurs, you either resist or you yield.   Some people become bitter or deeply resentful; others become compassionate, wise and loving. Yielding means inner acceptance of what is. You are open to life. Resistance is an inner contraction, a hardening of the shell of the ego. You are closed. Whatever action you take in a state of resistance (which we could also call negativity), will create more outer resistance, and the universe will not be on your side, life will not be helpful. If the shutters are closed, the sunlight cannot come in.

When you yield internally, when you surrender, a new dimension of consciousness opens up. If action is possible or necessary, your action will be aligned with and supported by the creative intelligence that you become one with. Circumstances and people then become helpful and cooperative. Coincidences happen in your favour. If no action is possible, you rest with the peace and inner contentment that comes with surrender. The inner joy that you feel is far more gratifying than the excitement to which you refer.

Who is more open to the workings of spirit than young children?  They live their lives weaving between the real world and their world of make believe, often finding it hard to differentiate between one and the other. Because of this, we often dispel the stories they share, or tune out their garbled chatter with special friends unseen by our human eyes.

They say that children are especially receptive in the years prior to school age.  This is because they haven’t had too much outside influence to plant seeds of doubt, seeds that will take root and spread through their consciousness for years to come.

Our daughter, her spouse and their two children were renting a particular home for over two years.  When they decided to move closer into town our Grandson Owen was understandably upset, after all, he was just three and a half years old, so he had spent the major part of his life there.

On a daily basis Owen asked to go back to his other home, and whenever they drove past the place he would cry and cry, begging them to pull into the driveway. One particular day as they drove by his eyes welled up with tears, “I miss my other mommy”, he said.  When his mother asked him what he was talking about, Owen went on to tell her about his “other mommy”.  He said that she lived in their old home and she was there all the time.

Owens’ “other mommy” would sit on the edge of his bed, and she frequently told him stories about her two boys.  This was confirmed by Owens’ sister, who said that she had seen the woman as well.  Owen went on to say that he missed talking with his “other mommy”, and that she was nice to him, but she was sad too.

We could have sloughed this off as Owen having an imaginary friend, but what a loss that would have been. For an investigation has provided us with some interesting information.  Before our daughter moved into the home, a couple and their two boys had lived there. The mother had died about a year or so prior of an aneurism, it happened quickly and unexpectedly.

So who was this special friend of Owens’?  Was she imaginary, or was she spirit? There is no doubt in my mind.  Now my focus is to ensure the door stays open, so our grandchildren can continue to be receptors for spirit and other phenomena.  I can only imagine the wonders they’ll share.

Children and Spirit column is a forum for sharing our children’s experiences, to learn and grow from them, and yank out a few roots of doubt along the way.  To share your child’s story please e-mail publisher@truebluespirit.ca

Greetings Wavewalker, thanx very much for your reply to my question. I’d very much like to partake in the ceremony you speak of, to allow one of my power animals to make visual contact with me. Please let me know when you’re available to perform this ceremony.

Hello Michael,

I have no immediate plans to do a power animal ceremony. However, Dorothy Jeanne Engst suggests the opportunity for one during the retreat this summer in July. This does sound like a possibility. You can find information about the retreat on the True Blue Spirit website.

I have been a successful poet in the past. lately it seems my poetry is all not only rejected but somehow erased. I wonder if this is a sign to stop writing or just a sort of fallow time in my writing life.

True  poetry is 90% inspiration and 10% perspiration. Relax and request direction from those in the realm of spirit that you were in touch with when your writing was at its’ best.
Ask that only the highest and the best qualified be your mentors.
Then, relax and pay attention as you tune in to the infinite poetry of the universe. Strive not to solve the great mysteries, just accept the fact that you play your role accordingly. With both dignity and humility. Always set a time that is convenient for you to spend with your mentors in spirit.
Then allow your soul to fly with the angels, unshackled by human critics.
