Chicago - September 6, 2015

In attendance: Bernardo, Carmen, Denise, Emiliano, Esperanza, Isabel, Jeff, Juan, Juanita, Maricela, Marisol, Nelson, Ron and Sonia

 

Nelson read a selection from Kardec's The Mediums' Book on disposition.  Many people present a pleasant face to the world that often masks the reality of their negative intentions.  Juanita sensed that Sonia liked to go around and around, and at some point she will need to be more direct and make a decision.  Carmen said she had a bad week of family members asking her for spiritual help.  Nelson advised that she should not get involved with things that she cannot change, and he recommended that she just say no.  Everyone needs to learn how to use their mediumship ability correctly in order to take proper care of it.

 

Nelson wanted to return to the topic of Sonia, as he sensed that similar to Carmen, Sonia's children were also looking for her to solve their problems, and "that's the mind set we have to change."  Nelson said that Sonia believed that if her children would have listened to her, they would not be where they are now (and Sonia agreed).  When they found themselves in some sort of mess, the children came back to Sonia hoping for a resolution - and they were angry when she doesn't do exactly what they wanted.  In their minds, all of Sonia's spiritual work was not worth it when it did not give them what they wanted.

 

Spirit 1 (via Nelson):  A spirit was around Sonia that reflected what her children thought, and he moved forward to speak through Nelson:

Spirit: She is not doing what I want, so I bother her.  That's why she goes over there, so we can benefit from it.  Do you think I am wrong?
Sonia: You need to educate yourself.

Spirit: I don't like her as a mother.  It's her job!  If I have a problem, she should fix it.  Now where will they send me whenever I need help?  Who will help me?

Marisol: That guy next to you will help you - to be more independent.

Spirit (to Marisol): I am only looking for a mother to take care of me.  What about you?  I can go with you.

Denise: You can take care of yourself...

Spirit: But I am next to her (Sonia) all day long.  Mommy!  Mommy!  I hear her when she read prayers, and those do not resolve my problems.  I am just looking for a mother - anyone?  (pause)  I am willing go with anyone. (pause)  Now they are telling me I am dead?  I need something, maybe some water.  I don't feel good. (pause) Nobody will help me?

Marisol: You can help yourself - with prayer.

Spirit: Another prayer?  Enough prayers!  I need a mother, they are easy.  Fathers are stronger.

 

After some additional counseling, the spirit apologized to Sonia.  The spirit asked Sonia to keep praying for him as he needed the prayers, and so did the many others with him who were also confused.  The spirit was one of five sons from a previous life with Sonia and he would take his four brothers with him.  "She was my mother," the spirit explained, "but she abandoned me to help another."  The spirit left quietly.

 

Spirit 2 (via Carmen):  Almost immediately, a related spirit had moved into Carmen to speak.  This spirit was pretending to be a spirit guide for Carmen whenever she was dealing with her family.  Carmen was listening to him, but like the earlier reading, he was presenting her with a false face.

Spirit (to Nelson): He has a big, loud mouth and he is confusing me.  I'm mad at you.

Nelson: But I like you.

Spirit: She (Carmen) suffers from your confusion.  I help her, and now you confuse her.

Nelson: You don't help her, you want to hurt her...

Spirit: Call them (Carmen's family).  Those children need her help.  Call them and see if they need anything.  I told her that.  You think she has power over them?  They make her sick.

Nelson: You make her sick.  You need to leave her alone.  Your kind of help is not good.

Spirit: Well then, who am I going to help?

Nelson:  Help yourself to get better - you are sick.

Spirit: I'm cold, very cold.  Please help me.  So cold.

Nelson: You are going to be able to work, but it will be on a new path...

Spirit: He (the spirit guide) is giving me a hand.  Can I take it?

 

Carmen wanted to help her family, but when she asked the spirit world for assistance, this spirit (and often some others) would show up.  With so many spirits talking all at once, Carmen was confused and tired.  Nelson advised the spirit to leave with the good guides, and the spirit calmly agreed - and he would take "all that suffering away from her now."

 

Marisol sensed a spirit around Nelson's mother.  It was a female spirit with a sore throat.  The spirit had an immense sadness because she had not done what she promised to do, and now the time was running out for her to accomplish anything. 

 

Spirits 3 & 4 (via Marisol):  As the conversation with the spirit progressed, the table realized that this was a spirit guide for Nelson's mother.  The spirit spoke through Marisol, sobbing deeply as she arrived:

Spirit: I don't want this to end.  I haven't finished.  I came here to work, but now it's too late.  We (the spirit guide and Nelson's mom) should have done things that we did not, and now the end of my days is near.  I still want to help her...

Nelson: You will be able to give her help and passes once she is in the spirit world.

Spirit (softly crying): She made a contract with me, but she never gave me permission to do the work.

Nelson:  You didn't waste that time with her - she did.

Spirit: I tried so hard to help her...

Nelson: Now your mission will be to prepare yourself to receive her in the spirit world.  You will see her again soon, and when you do, she will take your hand.  Her transition will not be easy, but you can help...

Spirit (to the other mediums): Do the work that was promised.  This sadness is painful...

 

Nelson said he wanted to talk to this spirit for a long time.  He understood that his mother had regrets.  She wanted to do all of the work she had promised over her lifetime now, and it was physically impossible.  The spirit demonstrated a written list of things that needed to be done.  This spirit guide was similar to a secretary, reminding Nelson's mother of what needed to be accomplished.  Understanding her new responsibilities, the spirit guide left.  Nelson said that no mother could do the work for her son, and Nelson could not do the work now that his mother had promised she would complete.  Juanita added that it was like punching a time card and expecting someone else to do the job.  Marisol was still feeling the heaviness and the heartache of the spirit, so her happy spirit guide briefly arrived to cleanse her.

 

Marisol stressed how important it was for the mediums to do the work they had promised. It was difficult but necessary work, and "it's not pretty when we don't."   Marisol's said her uncle (Cando) was not ready to transition because he knew that he would leave unfinished work behind.  His job was to heal, but he did not do enough.  The group discussed the wife he left behind.  She was not feeling well, and she regretted letting Cando use their house as a spiritual center.  Nelson saw spirits who were still knocking at her door for help.  Nelson also envisioned the wife seated at a small table in her house.  There was a crystal globe, some shells and some type of candle or fire.  People sat across from her and she collected money and gave her impressions to them.  She knew this was wrong, but she justified it because she needed the money.  Nelson described the spiritual condition of the house as a cock fight - with voices yelling and screaming all at once, and nobody listening to each other.

 

Nelson asked Emiliano if he liked things orderly and organized, and he said he did.  "There are times when we don't have control over other people," Nelson explained, "and something is coming that is going to put things out of place."

 

Spirit 5 (via Nelson):  It was difficult for Nelson to have a conversation with Emiliano.  A spirit wanted to sit, but Emiliano did not want to talk.  Nelson's guide eventually stepped forward to speak directly to Emiliano:

Caballito: There will be a strong discussion that you need to stop.  It's coming sooner than you think.  I don't want you to get involved, because things may get violent.  It's about your son.  I want you to be calm, and not say hurtful things.  Be an example.  You have good intentions, but sometimes they are not valid.  Some things are hard, with a lot of fire, and we need to soften them.  Avoid a disaster that does not need to happen. She (Emiliano's wife) stays quiet to avoid getting hot. Your house is burning, and everyone can smell the smoke.  In three words, can you describe the energy in your house?

Emiliano: Normal.

Esperanza: Eye of the storm.

Caballito: How is the relationship between the three children?  (The oldest son does not speak to his father)  Today is Sunday, correct?  Next Sunday, let's see if there can be one week of peace at your house.  When was the last time you hugged your children and asked them how you could help them?  Asked them what you could do for them?  The problem is not with the older son, the fire is with Alex.  As parents, you do not want to understand him, and he is dealing with difficult things to understand.  We need to eliminate this.

 

(Emilano was asked to move near the front.  After speaking softly to him for a few minutes, Esperanza was asked to join him)

Caballito:  We need to eliminate the fire from this beautiful life.  He (Alex) has to make his life, just as you made yours.  Your children see you as the general that you once were in another life, and this does not make them happy.  This is not the first time you were born in Mexico.  We are sending others to cleanse you house.  Go back to your house and tell your children that you love them.  Nothing is more beautiful than love.  It can conquer anything. We will leave it for next week, but with so much fire, we had to cool things off a little - to protect the mediums. 

(Emiliano and his wife returned to their seats)

 

Caballito: There is love in this group.  Hold each other and help each other.  It's been a beautiful afternoon.  We are quietly doing work in the background.  112 misguided - call them that, not bad - are being led away from all of you.  Nelson's spirit guide also had some specific messages:

 

For Juanita:  I have beautiful work to do with you.  Say whatever you want to say.  The work will soon start with your hands.

 

For Marisol: I know you loved Cando.  Keep praying for him, he needs it for himself and for those friends who are around him.

 

For Jeff: Thank you, just that.  Something will happen this week, and we will both smile over it.  You will know why when it happens.  Just think of me and say, "There it is." 

 

For Sonia: There is a friend of the table who thinks she is ready to come back, and she is not (Mia).  Have that conversation with her, and if you need help, let me know.  Tell her, "Not at this time."  She is not prepared, and we do not want this wonderful chain around the table to be cut.  I will be speaking with her.  She will tell you that she wants to come back, but not at the table.  Humans are selfish.  We will work on it.  Tell her to listen to the guides and they will give her the answer.  Are there any questions? 

Maricela:  Why do I feel overwhelmed and alone, like I want to cry?

Caballito: Because of the work today with your family.  You are not alone, you are seated right next to your father.  Why not take this time to hug him and tell him that you love him? 

 

Nelson closed with a prayer.
