(Note: Over the years, the FL group has had
two Rafael's attend, this was the first one)
Astrid read a selection from a book entitled "Peregrinaje." This book
allows the reader to experience one soul's journey through the afterlife and
discover the ultimate truth - that every soul is created in union with all other
souls, and that we are all manifestations of one purpose. The second half of the
book is a personal narrative by a spirit guide named Kirkudian about his various
incarnations. Astrid read the passage in Spanish and also translated it into
English (with some help from her daughter, Pam). Briefly, the passage explained
that earth is a planet where spirits are often tormented. As the spirits break
away from this cycle, some are subliminal and they do not return again - while
many others come back over and over again. The key is that the spirits need to
assimilate what they have learned, in order to aid them in their future
reincarnations. As Nelson put it, "If we move the clouds around, we can see the
pathway better."
Spirit 1 (via Nelson): As soon as everyone was seated at
the table, Nelson felt the presence of Mel, the former husband of Jackie's
sister. He had been observing our table previously, and now he returned with a
desire for revenge. Nelson said that he was too angry to sit and speak. Mel
did not realize that he was deceased and unable to control his surroundings in
the same manner as when he was in the material world. Jackie agreed, saying "He
has no idea that he is dead." Astrid thought that he knew he was dead, but he
would not accept it - as he saw his current situation as "unfair". All of the
mediums envisioned him still struggling with the physical ailments that killed
him. He was angry with Jackie. Gloria saw it as "an anger from before, long
ago." Nelson said that Mel pretended to like Jackie, but he really despised
her.
Jackie explained the various stages of her interactions with Mel over the
years. Mel was an authoritative figure on earth, and he believes that he
still has the same abilities now in the spiritual world. Nelson heard the
spirit tell him, "You're fired!" He asked the group for a drink of "water," but
Astrid and Nelson both sensed that he would rather have some Scotch, as his
situation has left him wanting a drink. Mel wanted to burn down Jackie's house,
and Nelson hoped to spiritually visit Jackie's house in an attempt to remove the
items left behind before they could ignite. A spiritual friend of the table
arrived and he told the group that Mel "doesn't have that power, but he thinks
he does." This spirit helped remove the items that Mel's spirit left behind in
Jackie's house. The helpful spirit described himself as, "a friend of the table
and everyone here," and he asked Gloria to visit the house and conduct a
spiritual cleansing. As the spirit asked for the cleansing, he mentally showed
Gloria what to do and how to do it. Gloria believed that Mel would be shocked
when he finally does realize that he has died, as he hoped his appearance at our
table today would prove that Jackie was wrong in regards to her previous
spiritual discussions with him.
Spirits 2 and 3 (via Gloria and
Nelson): Gloria visualized Rafael with two different roads on his back
- the road he wants to take is there; but there are also other things present,
and they are pulling him in the direction of another road. Nelson saw this road
as a darker set of choices and he told Rafael that he seems to prefer this
darker path. Nelson saw the light from candles in the darkness, but they were
becoming dimmer - until there was only darkness all around Rafael. "Start
loving yourself," Nelson encouraged him, and the conversation switched to
Spanish. Nelson and Rafael discussed a former girlfriend who was like a family
member - and now that the two of them are no longer together, she has left
behind something similar to a spell (an incantation, black magic, sanitaria,
voodoo - something negative). Nelson and Gloria were shown Rafael with a hood
draped over his head, indicating that whatever the former girlfriend was playing
around with, it has become attached to Rafael and it is all around him. The
girlfriend wanted him back with her, "on his knees." It is possible that the
girlfriend has hidden a small potion in Rafael's house, and
Nelson encouraged Rafael to find it and remove it.
A female spirit arrived via Nelson and she spoke in Spanish. This spirit
disliked Jackie, as she regarded Jackie's efforts to help Rafael as
interference. The group urged her to go towards the light, but the spirit was
busy explaining how she used the scent of her perfume to keep Rafael wrapped
around her neck. This spirit insisted on telling Jackie what to do, and she
bothered her whenever she could. The spirit understand that she and Jackie do
not speak the same language; but at first, she was frustrated when Jackie did
not listen to her. Rafael spoke with the spirit and she departed. After she
was gone, our table learned that the ex-girlfriend had an interest in black
magic. Nelson saw the house that Rafael lives in covered with a thick, black
tenting, similar to what termite exterminators might use when "tenting" a house
with gas to destroy the pests. This tent kept Rafael's house constantly covered
in darkness.
Gloria sensed that Rafael and his father were two bulls, butting heads on a
daily basis. A spirit jumped into Gloria to explain that Rafael's mother does
not want his father living in the house. The mother's anger on Rafael's father
was having a negative residual effect on Rafael. Nelson took the angry spirit
from Gloria, and it began to speak from Nelson. The spirit said that she
doesn't want to be in the house anymore either. Gloria realized that she is one
of the suicides. The spirit told the table that she saw and felt what she did
to herself every day for 17 years. She knows she killed herself, yet the
murmuring, unending voices will not stop.
After some reassurance from the group that the voices will not follow her,
the spirit agreed to "go away," and referring to Rafael, she stated, "His mind
will be a little bit better now - some of those voices are not good." She
promised to take 17 other spirits along with her, explaining, "all of us are
going to go - and we will not have to hear the voices anymore either." After
she departed, the group discussed the issue of suicide and the significance of
the number 17 in Rafael's life and family.
Spirits 4 and 5 (via Gloria): Gloria saw her cousin, and
he was observing our table. She spoke to him in Spanish, and as this was
occurring, Nelson sensed another spirit arriving. Astrid saw the same spirit as
Nelson. This spirit wanted to speak about Gloria's grandson. The same spirit
was present at the last reunion, and he reaffirmed his message that the grandson
was in hiding. The spirit jumped into Gloria, as the spirit wanted to
communicate in Spanish with Nelson about the issue. Hiding from a situation
does not eliminate the issue. Nelson spoke calmly with the spirit, and he was
eventually able to make the spirit realize how tired he was, and the spirit
agreed to leave with the guide who brought him to our table.
Nelson asked for help from the group in regards to a situation regarding a
friend in Argentina (Marta). Her son has been diagnosed with testicular cancer,
and although the doctors recommended surgery, he was reluctant. The mediums all
sensed that he needs to consider surgery immediately. (Update: The son did
not have the surgery, and he passed away in March of 2016)
Jackie closed with a prayer.
