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.

We spent time yesterday at the Crystal Light Sanctuary on Salt Spring Island. Carol and James Henry Spencer (Jim) were wonderful hosts as always. When it came to the mediumship portion of the event, two messages came through loud and clear from spirit and these were happily received by visitors to the Sanctuary. One message was from a young man who had only recently passed over after Christmas. These messages from spirit can be emotional, but they are so worth it.

James Henry Spencer and Allen Engst allowed themselves to be channelers for the healing, which was appreciated by many. Crystal Light Sanctuary only meets the first Sunday of each month. I recommend you pop by for a visit sometime.

Best of all is when we have time to share alone with Carol and Jim. We always return home with an answer to a question we didn’t even know we were looking for. And in the case of Jim, it is often his humble yet sincere words of wisdom that we carry in our hearts for days.

Jim has an opportunity for a venture at hand; one which could potentially make him some good earnings. When I asked Jim what he planned to do with this opportunity he smiled, and in his soft slow speech said, “I already have abundance of peace, love and harmony in my life. I enjoy every minute of every day. I have no desire to disrupt the beautiful flow of energy that surrounds me, I want to appreciate it. I have everything I need.”

What wonderful words that we can all live by.

This was a wonderful way to roll into 2010…and those words will carry me a long way as I will refer to them often.

Keep well.

Dorothy
