Last week, we lost a member of our channeling group. Gene was a kind man who believed in justice and patience. He was well-loved and respected. He looked out for his wife, and for all of us. Every session, he led our meditation and eased us into the quiet, comfortable space where we could communicate with Spirit. Often, he channeled messages. We are going to miss him!

Some people pass to The Other Side quickly and easily. You might remember Randy saying that he “just slipped over.” Other people seem to be in the dying process for years before their death.

Here’s the confusing part about Gene’s death. He had a debilitating stroke and was hospitalized. He was conscious, then he was unconscious. After ten days he passed away. Why did it take ten days?

As metaphysicians we ask, “If he knew where he was going and that he would be alright, why wasn’t he in more of a hurry to get there?”

The nurse said that prior to the stroke, he had a strong body and the body was able to fight the effects of the stroke. While his brain had been impacted, it took a while for the rest of his body to feel the consequences. His body had to catch up with his brain.

Another explanation is that he was waiting for his loved ones to arrive at the hospital and say their “good-byes” before he left. People needed time to travel and a few days to adjust to the situation.

We all operate with mind, body and spirit, and they aren’t always in sync with each other. Gene’s brain was impacted, but his body wouldn’t let go. His spirit might have been ready to go, but his mind was replaying the mantra that he was here to take care of his wife. His mind was stuck in this loop, while his body was failing. We are just speculating here. We don’t have a way to know what he was going through. Someday, we hope to hear his story, from him.

I asked one of my mystic friends why the passing of someone who was so in tune with spirit might take ten days? He answered that when a person is ready to go, they go. Apparently, Gene wasn’t ready to go or he would have gone. No machines, no interventions, can keep someone alive when they are ready to pass.

After things have calmed down, after a period of grief, we hope to hear from Gene. We have so many questions! We would like to hear that he is adjusting well to the non-physical world. We would love to hear that he has reconnected with those he loved who are already on The Other Side. We would enjoy hearing an explanation of his dying process. Every death is different. We can learn from each of them.

I will leave you with a message which Gene recently channeled. We were talking about being stuck in life, but this might also apply to being stuck between life and death. Gene said:

“Sometimes as you go through your development process on Earth, you find yourself stuck, or bored. It doesn’t need to be resisted.

“When you have been exposed to more and more things in spirit, sometimes a body and a spirit need to stop for a little bit to allow yourself to breathe in and give thought to that which you have been learning. Don’t resist. Don’t beat yourself up if you seem to be bored or stuck, or don’t have the ‘go go get ’em’ kind of energy that you looked forward to having. Sometimes you need to take a while to absorb, understand, and draw in all the lessons that you have had, before you pick up the pace again.”

Perhaps Gene was taking a moment to understand and draw in his lessons before passing to The Other Side.

Rest in peace, Gene. We will miss you here, and we hope to hear from you again.

Someone told me that, several times, she had seen a vision of something, but wasn’t sure what it was. Then, she had driven down the road and seen the real-life version of what she had envisioned. What do we call this? A premonition. Is it helpful in any way?

In preparation for September 11 rolling around again, I want to share three stories from psychics about their experiences in the days leading up to September 11, 2001.

Nancy Parsons told me:

“When something traumatic was going to happen in the world, I would feel it in advance and it took me a long time to figure out what was going to happen. Things would happen to me, physically, and I would think that we were going to have an earthquake.

“The day before 9/11, I was ill. I kept saying to my sister, ‘There’s something wrong with me. My head is spinning. I want to throw up.’ She thought I might be dehydrated or hungry, but I wasn’t. I started to walk across the room and I fell to my knees. I just dropped. The top of my head started vibrating. I had no idea what this was. ‘There’s a disruption in the force.’ Do you remember Obi-Wan Kenobi saying that in ‘Star Wars’? It’s that same sort of thing.

“Ten hours later, people were jumping out of buildings. My body told me immediately, ‘Do you understand that this is why we were trying to give you this information?’ What was I going to do with the information? I went to G-d, ‘What was I supposed to do, call the airplanes?’

“I said, ‘If it’s something where I can make a difference, I’m happy to be the carrier for the information even if people tell me that I’m nuts.’ They stopped pushing this on me. Many things are happening and I don’t want to know about them in advance. I can’t be a conduit for every train crash or fire.”

Maryushka shared the same kind of stories. She remarked:

“When I was about 22, I had a summer job as a telephone solicitor. I was at work. I was in Delaware and my father was in NY. I had his heart attack at the same time he did. Only I didn’t have a heart attack. I threw myself on my desk. Everything went black around me. People ran over with water and everything else, and I said, ‘I have to go home. I don’t know what’s the matter, but I have to go home.’

“Basically, I crawled the two blocks home. I threw myself onto the couch and immediately fell into a deep sleep. My ex-husband came home around 5:30 p.m. I didn’t even tell him what had happened. By then, I was fine. At 8:30 p.m., my mother called and told me that my father had had a heart attack at 1 p.m., exactly when I had had my experience. He lived. This was his first heart attack and he lived.

“I’ve come to know, over time, that when I get the terrible death feelings, and I go through this type of thing, it’s because there is a struggle. Someone doesn’t know whether they are going or coming. Or, there is some purpose; they are passing something to me. Later, I find out. It was so bad in my 20s, that I would get these feelings and I would just have to sit down and wait to see who was going to call and tell me what had happened.”

Later in our interview, Maryushka added:

“I’ve gone through some horrible psychic experiences. Anybody who has the gift has had some horrible stuff which has happened. Visions. Terrible visions that you can’t do anything about.

“The biggest one in the ‘terrible’ category was 9/11. In January 2001, I had a psychic lock in a reading on what was going to happen, but I didn’t know where or when. I spent the summer literally on the couch holding my head. My head hurt so much that summer.

“Every year, our Maj Jong group goes away and I read for everybody. That year wasn’t so good for me and I didn’t want a reading. They encouraged me to read for myself. I laid out the cards in my Tree of Life reading, and the thing came to life. I saw the towers and I saw the people jumping. The fire was raging. It was everything. It was all my senses. I could feel the flames. I got hysterical. This was the first and only time this ever happened. I was screaming that it wasn’t about me. But I had a psychic lock on the event.”

Maryushka explained that there were two kinds of premonitions. The first type was a warning about something which was preventable. The second type was not preventable. She called it a “lock.” She was locked into this image.

Maryushka continued:

“In September, it happened. I was in front of my TV while it was happening. Immediately, one of the women who had been at the reading said, ‘This is what you saw.’ It was the exact picture. People were jumping off the tower into the flames. It was horrible.”

“For two years after this occurred, I read for no one. I was afraid that I would be with some stranger and it would happen again. I didn’t want to see it again. It was much more than seeing it. Normally when I do a reading, I see the cards. This was not seeing; it was a three-dimensional experience. Way more horrifying.”

Meanwhile, Delphina Nova had a dream about 9/11 thirty years before it happened. She was a child. It was before the towers had been built. This dream changed her life. It woke her up. She lost her childhood innocence.

What can we learn from these experiences? There are two kinds of premonitions: (1) those which can let us know something is going to happen so we can change/avoid the situation, and (2) those which we cannot affect.  

Intuitives are often happy to have premonitions which are warnings, so that they can avoid a situation. The premonitions about unavoidable events are harder to deal with. If they don’t have enough information to warn someone about an upcoming event, or if it’s an inevitable event, psychics have to figure out what to do, if anything, with this information.

As September 11 approaches, let’s remember those who died, those who suffered, and the heroes of the moment.
