In attendance: Astrid, Jeff, Gloria, Nelson, Rafael, and Santiago
As Nelson finished reading the opening prayer, he heard a spirit comment
that "the lady who reads it is not here today (Jackie)." Nelson was guided to
read a short segment from Kardec's Book of Spirits about "Freedom of
Thoughts". We have unlimited freedom with our thoughts, but our thoughts can
influence and attract positive or negative spirits - so we need to be cautious.
Thoughts are a direct link to the spirits.
Spirit 1 (via Nelson): Before he finished with the
reading, Nelson heard a spirit say, "We know who we are, and we know what we
do. This discussion will not change it. I go to people and whisper
suggestions, and they follow what we say." Nelson tried to continue, but the
spirit was insistent:
Spirit: Nobody will change my way of thinking. We like to see the
fights and the families destroyed. Did you think it would be easy to bring us
here? Look at us, we are being restrained and held back (by the spirit
guides). This is the last place I wanted to be. We know what you do here,
giving us something we don't want. I don't like what he's showing us, what we
have done.
Jeff: You made the mess...
Astrid: ...and now you must make amends.
Spirit: Take that away! We have to compensate for all the damage
we have caused. I don't like it. My friend told me not to go there (to our
table) because they will change you! He was right. I don't even know
where they want to take us now. We are not that many, only 24, but the damage
we caused was huge...
Astrid saw some of the spirits around Rafael when he first entered the
session. Nelson's guide told him that a few spirits were taken from everyone in
the room. These spirits wanted to create conflict with the group, hoping to
break it up. Nelson was shown little balls of black being combined. Astrid
added, "Until they make one big shadow."
Spirit 2 (via Nelson): Nelson asked Gloria about her son.
He was actively looking for a new job, and Nelson advised that he should not get
depressed with the process. Nelson was shown that someone at his old job did
something to set him up. Everything was planned for Gloria's son to take the
blame. The conversation varied from English to Spanish. At one point, Nelson
was shown a symbolic large net being thrown over the son, to keep him confined
or immobile. Nelson heard the son thinking that he deserved better treatment
from his former employer, and he wondered why this happened. Nelson saw him
with an obedient, rigid military posture, a symbol of his attempt not to worry
his mother, Gloria. A spirit arrived, sitting through Nelson and moving his
arms as if he was rowing a boat. The spirit spoke in Spanish, explaining why
his group wanted Gloria's son trapped in a net. The spirit could not breathe,
so he decided to let the son out of the net:
Spirit (looking at the empty net): He escaped!
Astrid: No, you let him go.
Spirit: Those were the thoughts of someone else, not my own. Now
I will learn to think for myself. We had that net tightly closed (they were
a group of 16 spirits).
Astrid: They will all get help - like you - to remove those bad
thoughts.
Gloria: Those spirits were as trapped as my son...
Nelson: But there is something else in that house...
Spirit 3 (via Nelson): Nelson drew a picture of the
son's house in Puerto Rico. There was a parking area underneath the elevated
structure, and near the exterior stairs leading up to the house, the spirit of a
man was hanging from a noose on a tree. Once the spirit realized he had been
seen by Nelson, he began to cry and ask for help: "Please! When, when?" We
eventually discovered that all the land and a previous house once belonged to
the spirit of the hanged man. He was determined that no one would ever take it
from him. The man was hanged as a punishment, and he was slim, with a very
white color, and he was wearing a hat. He was angry and arrogant, and he spoke
as if we should be honored by his presence. He was surrounded by black slaves,
and the spirit insisted, "I never did anything to any of them." Astrid told
him, "But you ordered someone else to do it." His bones were shown to him, and
the spirit eventually agreed to "go with those black ones." He wanted to assure
that he "would not catch the blackness from them," and he agreed to take three
others with him. He said he would leave with his dignity and his hat, and he
insisted that the blacks be in a second line, not in the front with him. After
he left, Nelson described him as an old Spanish man who owned all the land in
the area at one time. He lived in a wooden house (not the same as the house was
now) and he remained hanged in that tree for many years. Nelson advised Gloria
to tell her son and his family not to hang any Halloween decorations.
Spirit 4 (via Nelson): Nelson's spirit guide arrived.
"Don't pray only to ask for something, pray for the dead. When the 'spirit
side', as you call it, is cleansed, there is less suffering in the material
world. When we clean that side, your lives become more peaceful. I want to
talk about feelings of envy. We have those because that is what we have
earned. The day we deserve better is the when those feelings of envy will go
away. Our own families are envious of what they don't understand. Would you
believe that some envy Nelson - even though they do not want what he has?
That's why I am here, to work on him. People say that they like him, but they
are envious. They don't like what he has, and they don't understand it.
Caballito moved to the side as he showed Nelson where the negative feelings
of envy were coming from. Nelson began to cry, as it was from a source he never
expected - the group in Chicago. The thoughts from the group were the cause of
Nelson's physical illness on Saturday. Astrid advised that we forgive everyone
and move on. Nelson said that he always told everyone that he does not have any
powers - nothing. Nelson's spirit guide stepped forward again to resume
speaking through Nelson:
Caballito: They wouldn't understand. They don't know the harm
they are doing. I went there today, with a group of spirits. They would not
let them sit. I waited. I knew if I brought them here, he (Nelson) would let
them sit. Then they wonder why the work is not getting done. I was there!
They would not allow it.
Gloria: It's like Judas with Christ...
Caballito: Very well said. I am going to take those spirits with
me. I took them there, brought them here, and now I need to just take everyone
with me.
Jeff: I'm sorry - I know you did not expect that from that group - -
Caballito: Or from any group! We started today talking
about thoughts, and now we see how difficult it is to remove thoughts. When
someone says, 'I would love to have that,' it is the connotation of a thought
of envy or jealousy. Those thoughts cause difficulties for others. Those
thoughts are very harmful. So please, when those thoughts come - and they will
- say no, those are not the thoughts that I want, or the type that he or she
deserves from me. Start with your thoughts, not your actions - actions are
secondary. Have good thoughts and wish happiness to others and you will find it
for yourselves.
How do you think we convince the spirits to visit you? Loving thoughts is
how we start. We tell them, 'That is not a good thought or the best thought to
have.' When they understand, then they agree to visit you. We go to them with
the best of our thoughts. It's all about the thoughts, they are the power. I
have a friend here today (Gloria) who often says, "I have a pain, but it will go
away." And it does (Gloria agreed). So from now on, your thoughts
will control your life instead of your life controlling your thoughts. Think
only good thoughts, not emotions.
Do not answer quickly. When anyone comes to you with a fast idea or
thought, think about what you will say - and you won't say it. Think!
Sometimes it is not worth it to respond at all. Learn to control your thoughts,
as all of your life is thoughts. That's what we will present to you when you
return to the spirit world, as you call it, all of your thoughts. Now that you
know that, think twice. Do you see how easy that is? It's in your hands to
find your own real happiness. Jeff, I know that you are writing this down, so
send it not only to the group in Chicago, but also to the ones in Puerto Rico -
everywhere. When they ask, "Who sent this?" you should tell them, "A good
friend who loves us." When you need me - I have said this many times - call
me. But that thought has to be the real one, because I can see it. Because you
cannot lie, we see the thoughts.
I will take those friends (spirits) from the Chicago group with me, 69 of
them Some from everyone who attended. I will take 59 from the Puerto Rico
group and 49 from this (FL) group. I want everyone at the end of today to feel
that they have learned something. That's what you were thinking, wasn't it
Astrid? (Astrid agreed) You see, I know the thoughts
(laughed). Be happy - that's what spiritism is all about.
Caballito faded away. Gloria said she noticed a spirit around Rafael
earlier, but it had been taken away with the others. Someone was having
thoughts about Rafael, and Gloria envisioned that person standing in front of
Rafael. "It's a female," Nelson and Astrid said at exactly the same moment.
Nelson explained that mediums get the thoughts of the spirit as well as an
understanding of who sent it. Nelson knew that there were some material and
spiritual influences who did not Rafael to improve. The group discussed the
issue, and Nelson closed with a prayer.
