In attendance:
Bernardo, Carmen, Claudia, Danny, Denise, Don Juan, Erika, Emiliano, Esperanza,
Eva, Evelyn (and her husband Jose), Frank, Gabe, Isabel, Isaac, Janet, Jeff,
Jose, Juanita, Marjorie, Maricela, Marisol, Milagros, Nazario, Nelson, Ron,
Sonia, and X
Before the opening prayer, Nelson urged everyone, "Think about your own
spirit. What do I need, how can I help? Take some time alone for me
(ourselves), and for those we need to help." Marisol read the prayer for the
sick, asking the group to think of someone in need.
Bernardo's heart surgery was moved up to Monday. (Note: His daughter
phoned on Monday to say that everything went well). Nelson advised that he
read the prayer to his spirit guide, as his guide will be with him during the
operation. Nelson's guide told him that Bernardo will recover, and it was
important that Carmen (his wife) continues to attend the sessions to do
her work (just as Isabel did when Ron was recovering).
Spirits 1 & 2 (via Nelson): Nelson was drawn to Erika
as soon as she walked into the room. She said she had a doctor's appointment on
Wednesday, and Nelson knew that there was still something physically wrong with
her back. We could address the spiritual issues, but there were still material
health concerns that needed to be treated. Nelson thought that Erika might be
anxious or nervous, but she was not. Nelson's spirit guide wondered what it was
in her current life that Erika did not like:
Erika: I don't know.
Caballito: Have you imagined yourself in a different place in your
life from where you are now? Would you change it all if you could?
Erika: Yes.
Caballito: You can still have the life you want, but it's all in
your hands. You have always wanted to see what would happen if you did
something different, and yet you don't want to do anything. Something always
holds you back (Erika agreed). In your past life, you owned a large
plantation with many slaves. That's why in this life, your color is how it is.
In that past life, your skin color would have gotten you killed. There are many
slave spirits here today, and they hate you, so they hold you back. You were a
wealthy woman in that life, and you owned the entire plantation by yourself.
(pause) We have to go deeper. How can I put this? You did not want
your slaves to reproduce unless it was something you wanted. You bred them like
horses. If something happened without your permission, you found one way or
another to get rid of all the little girls that were born.
(Caballito was replaced by the spirit of an angry slave)
Spirit (enraged): You know she killed me. I am so angry, I am so
mad!
Jeff: She needs to understand what she did.
Spirit: What? They want me to have compassion for
her? She never had any of that with us! I don't even want to speak to
her.
Jeff: That was in another time, in another place.
Spirit: She is the same. When I get close to her, she has no
energy. I just give her a little bit, and she cannot handle it. (very
serious) But when she destroyed me and my parents (tearfully),
she would say, 'Hit him again, until he cannot get up anymore.' She whipped me
until she destroyed me. She was an evil, powerful, white nasty woman. And
that's how I will destroy her, piece by piece. I burned her, and that's why her
skin looks that way now. She hates her color.
Erika: I used to, but I've adjusted.
Jeff: Forget about her. Let's worry about you.
Spirit: I don't care about me, I only wanted to help my group. I
understand that they (the spirit guides) are going to take me somewhere
else, but I will not forgive her! I have a group of 44 girls with me, and I
wanted to help them, for them to be free. And me. She (Erika) has
suffered enough, and I am no longer responsible for her. I wanted all of you to
know where we came from. (to Marisol) Lady, I want to thank you for
that prayer. They are lifting them up, all of my girls. Look at that. She
(Erika) is on her own now, don't blame it on us. We are all going to
go, come on girls, let's be free. Let's just be freeee...
As Nelson was recovering, he told Erika, "If you feel like the way I do
now, I'm surprised you can even sit in that chair. I have no energy. I am too
tired to stand up, but I'll try." Caballito wanted to use Nelson to give passes
to Erika. As he was administering them, he told her, "You cannot say or think
that is your time to go. Send those thoughts somewhere else. After you visit
that doctor, have a back X-ray - what is it called? - have an MRI?
Spirit 3 (via Carmen): Evelyn was the long time caregiver
for Marisol's son. Carmen was studying a spirit who wanted something from
Evelyn or her husband, Jose). The spirit was insistent but calm:
Spirit (to Evelyn and Jose): You are hiding something. A rare
paper. I want it back.
Nelson: Why do you need that paper?
Spirit: The problem is that I do not get any attention. Until I
do, I want to make her (Claudia, who was staying with Evelyn and Jose)
go crazy. Loca, loca, loca! Aren't you afraid that she will take her own
life? Loca!
Nelson: Her issues belong to her, not you.
Spirit: I am not doing any contracts with you.
Nelson: What you are looking for is already there - with you - on the
spirit side.
(It became apparent that this spirit was looking for Andres, Marisol's
son who was now in the spirit world.)
Spirit: No, she took it away from me!
Nelson: You will be able to look at him when both of you are ready. And
you will see his trophy, the one he won. Some do not have any moms, but he had
two of them. Eventually, you will have your own trophy, but it's not this one.
And it's not the fault of the caretaker (Evelyn). You will eventually learn why
you were part of his life. (to Evelyn) Are you afraid that Cindy may
commit suicide? Are you afraid to leave her alone?
Evelyn said that she was not fearful, and Jose said that he enjoyed her
visits. Cindy stated that she felt fine living with them.
Spirit 4 (via Marisol): Marisol sensed another spirit
related to Evelyn, Jose and Cindy. This spirit was very irate, and the tone was
much more harsh than with the previous spirit:
Spirit (hitting the table): Diablo! Mira! Why is she here?
(turned around in the chair to not see Cindy) If you are crazy, just
leave! There is the door! They are crazy, leave, leave! I know what I am
doing, and I am going to win this one. I'm planning (demonstrated by
drawing a chart on the table) to kick Evelyn out. She will have a fall, a
fall down the stairs, and it will be done. Then Cindy will end up crazy like
me! People will make fun of her. I am going to do to her what she did to me.
I ended up in a nut house. I will put her in one. (sadly) I killed
myself after she put me in there. (pause) I am only doing to
her what she did to me. I took a pill, it was like acid. It burned. I
overdosed, and I am blaming her now for putting me into that situation.
(seething) I am filled with vengeance and hate.
Nelson: You have no body now to feel the effects of that pill, and if you
agree to go with those friends around you, they can help you with those
emotions.
Spirit: I need to learn, because I do not understand any of this. So
okay. Good luck to you, Cindy...
Spirit 5 (via Juanita and Nelson): Juanita was being
shown a group of spirits around Jeff. They were having a party, and they were
upset to see Jeff reading prayer books and praying, as they wanted him to join
them. The group varied in age from 20-25 years old, and they were determined to
have Jeff back with them. Nelson saw them dancing in a circle around Jeff.
While they pretended to be his friends, all of them were very sick. They were
angry that they were sick, while Jeff was the only one who had escaped.
Spirit: What happened to you?
Jeff: I changed. To make myself better.
Jeff: I changed. To make myself better.
Spirit (laughing): We wake him up all night (Jeff agreed)
to party. Take one of those little blue pills like we used to do. I have to
hide them. We even made his nose bleed last week when we gave him one (more
laughter)! We need to get rid of that one he is with (Nelson), so
we can party! He's the problem. (to Jeff) When he wasn't around, you
were fun! I need to give you more little pills.
Jeff: I am a different person now, I'm not doing that. People
change.
Spirit: You used to love us! Why don't you love us? I know you
feel me around you...we just want to be with you. Do you know how long it took
me to find you?
Jeff: You and I are in different worlds now. You no longer have a body.
Look at the one you are speaking through - is that your body?
Spirit: What? Oh no, it's ugly. So you don't want anything to do
with me? I enjoyed those days, and I thought you did, too. I guess I should
just take all my pills with me and go.
Marisol: There's another party waiting for you.
Jeff: And you can take those memories with you. Take that group you have
with you.
Spirit: How did you know I had a group? We are a group of
23.
Jeff: That was probably the age I was when we knew each other. Look at me
now - I'm 60 years old.
Spirit: 60? So I have been looking for you for a long
time. I will keep those memories of the good times, but they are telling me
there is a new party waiting for us. There won't be any pills, but that's
okay. I'm not a bad guy, so I will go. (to Jeff) I'm sorry if I
harmed you - goodbye, old man!
Nelson focused on Marjorie. He wanted her to understand that our group
worked differently than those in Brazil, because we hoped to achieve a spirit
to person connection. We worked openly to encourage everyone to learn from the
spirit interactions - even if a spirit was connected to someone else. "What we
do," Nelson continued, with some wording supplied by his guide, "is create a
consciousness of who you are, what you are, and what you did in a previous
life. When the spirits see you, they see you as you were in that last time.
Pray to break that anger, as the prayers help the spirits to understand that it
is no longer the past."
Spirits 6 & 7 (via Marisol and Eva): Marisol asked
Frank to move closer. At the same time, Eva's spirit guide wanted to sit and
speak through her. Caballito/Nelson had both been encouraging the spirit guide
to sit for several months. When Eva was ready, her guide would not sit, and
when he was ready to sit, Eva was unwilling to give up control. She was worried
that she might say something inappropriate. The spirit with Marisol was a
friend of Frank's in this lifetime. Frank had been praying for him since he
crossed over into the spirit world - and those prayers had been heard:
Spirit (speaking from Marisol to Frank): How can it be that I am
here - and I am not here? What happened? I encountered many people, but none
of them could help me. I read books, but I don't understand it. Have come here
to talk to him (Frank), but I have a massive headache. I feel like I
will fall from this chair.
Nelson: You will be alright. Talk to Frank.
Spirit: He helped me. Thank you.
Nelson: But when you are around him, it makes him feel like you do.
Spirit: So I don't have a body? But why does it still hurt? I
didn't expect this. I only wanted to keep on living, but now I know that I
cannot. Sometimes Frank feels my redness (high blood pressure). I'm
sorry, I didn't know that I was causing this to happen. Now I understand, I
have no body. Thank you, Frank. I will go search for light...
Carmen continued the counseling for the spirit with Marisol, while Nelson
worked on Eva. He encouraged her and her guide to come together. Nelson said,
"Today will be the day. Let it happen." (Eva's guide was a male
spirit) Eva was mumbling softly, as if in prayer, but her spirit guide
did not sit. Nelson softly said, "Everything we do, it all has
consequences."
Nelson asked Elizabeth about her trip to Puerto Rico, and she explained
that she returned today in time for our session. Her trip was good, and her son
was more relaxed. Nelson said, "When the spirits give us advice or ask us to do
something, they are always looking out for our best interests. When we say yes,
we need to do it. Otherwise things will not go the way we hoped."
Spirit 8 (via Nelson): Nelson's guide wanted to continue
the conversation along the same theme:
Caballito: Sonia, a week or two ago, someone asked for something. It was not done. Why?
Sonia: We make excuses - to ourselves.
Caballito: Sonia, a week or two ago, someone asked for something. It was not done. Why?
Sonia: We make excuses - to ourselves.
Caballito: Whatever is more convenient? It was simple request,
correct?
(Note: Two weeks ago, Caballito asked Xavier to visit his
grandmother for a week of relaxation. A group of spirits had been trapped, and
Caballito needed a week to work with them before they were in any condition to
sit. Xavier never completed the request.)
Sonia: Yes, we make it so difficult.
Caballito: Then we allow those very friends that we are trying to
get rid of to influence us again. There is a very angry friend here
today...
(Caballito was replaced by a spirit irritated with Xavier)
Spirit: I went there. I waited. No one showed up.
Marisol: Who invited you to that party?
Spirit: She (Sonia) can tell you - she was also
invited. And I am not happy that I am here! She was trying to bring him
(Xavier) to the party now? I don't even want to see him! Why would he
tell me one thing and do another? That's all he ever does - he never does
anything that he says he will do! He cancels everything. Go to school, don't
go to school. I don't like him! He is not my friend, and I do not want to talk
to him.
Jeff: Why are you around him if you don't like him?
Spirit: To confuse him. (to Sonia) Keep waiting,
grandma - he isn't coming! I'm going to go back over there and wait some more.
Why are you people nice to him? He makes mistake after mistake...
Sonia: When we are young like that, sometimes there are mistakes.
Spirit: My mistake was that I went to the wrong party.
Marisol: What specific promise did he break with you?
Spirit: He said he would be my friend, and now he is not. I can tell you many things about him. I've been around for a long time. And now he talks and learns from her (Sonia)? No wonder I am so angry!
Spirit: He said he would be my friend, and now he is not. I can tell you many things about him. I've been around for a long time. And now he talks and learns from her (Sonia)? No wonder I am so angry!
Jeff: You have some new friends around you now - go with them and let him
find his own friends.
Xavier: I apologize if I hurt you.
Marisol: He has moved on, and now it's time for you to move on.
Spirit: I can tell you that some of the friends he has found are
not any good. I got kicked to the curb and he kept them? Now I will kick him
to the curb! I tell it like it is, and now he is the dumb one.
Jeff: You deserve better friends, so let's leave him alone. How many in
your group?
Spirit: There are six of us, with me, it's seven. Tell him when
he makes a promise, he should keep it or just keep his mouth closed. I have
said what I wanted to say.
Spirit 9 (via Juanita and Nelson): Juanita was being
shown a mountain in Mexico where many of the Romero family members spent a
previous life. Nazario was there, but he was afraid to venture past a certain
point. Nazario had climbed the mountain before in his current life, and Nelson
knew that he did it with some spiritual help. Should he attempt the climb again
on his upcoming trip (in three months) to Mexico? Nelson advised that this
time, he will see some white smoke. It will be the good spirits encouraging him
to climb higher. Nazario stops near a lake, and instead of going around it, he
should swim in that lake. The lake will refresh and cleanse him, and it will be
a spiritual way for him to give the land back to the spirits who still inhabit
it. "Give back to those the land that has given everyone so much," Nelson
said.
Spirit 10 (via Marisol): Marisol's son needed the care of
a qualified nurse when he was in the material world, and when Marisol
had commitments for work, our sessions, etc, it was Evelyn who nurtured
Marisol's son. A spirit sat through Marisol to thank her:
Spirit (to Evelyn): You promised her (Marisol) to take care of him
until the end.
Evelyn: Yes.
Spirit: Thank you for completing that promise. When there is more
light, you will be protected and taken care of...
Caballito (to Evelyn): And thank you for being here today. Keep
returning, and you can fix those issues with Cindy. You will have the family
here that you have always wanted, when you continue to follow spiritism.
Caballito (for Denise): They are already preparing a party for
when you move out. May we have a party in your new place? They are working on
it.
Denise: And I have been praying on it for a while now.
Caballito (speaking to Marjorie from his position behind Nelson):
Do you have any questions?
Marjorie: I have seen spirits before when I was sleeping - just passing through - and I knew it was not a dream.
Marjorie: I have seen spirits before when I was sleeping - just passing through - and I knew it was not a dream.
Caballito: They see you and you see them. Tell them to meet you
here to talk.
After Caballito inquired, Marjorie shared some details regarding the town
she was from in Brazil. As she was describing it, Caballito spiritually took
Nelson there to see it. He described is as very lush and green, on a small,
beautifully maintained street. Nelson was shown that her family planned a large
outdoor party when she returns for a visit in September. Caballito said that
Marjorie would not be happy to see someone there, and it would be okay to avoid
him. It was okay to visit, but that person makes her sad, so she should avoid
him. "As he does not have the best for you," Caballito said, "And don't be
alone with that person."
Nelson was shown some trees that looked similar to grape vines, but they
were much more beautiful. (See the beautiful trees here: http://www.kuriositas.com/2013/11/jabuticaba-tree-that-fruits-on-its-trunk.html)
Nelson saw someone writing wishes on small slips of papers and placing them
under the trees. It was Marjorie's grandmother, and Caballito said that she was
the one eagerly waiting for Marjorie to return. Nelson's guide also hoped that
Marjorie would put her faith into spiritism, as it would answer all of the
questions she had. Caballito also described Marjorie's little brother, saying
that he hoped to one day to come back to Chicago with her:
Caballito: This your road, and you may open the road for others,
but always focus on your own road. If we understand who we are and where we are
going, there is no mystery. You have a beautiful road ahead of you. And if you
want to go to school - apply - do it.
Caballito asked Marisol about the white flower for her son in Florida.
Although Marisol tried to toss it into the ocean, it landed among some rocks.
"No one saw the beauty," Caballito said, "but it was there." Marisol shared a
photo of the flower, and it was radiant. There were some other brief
messages:
(for Gabe): Do what you have to do, and let your mom do what she
wants to do. She will get there only when she wants. She is not humble. Why
is it so hard to be humble? With humbleness, you receive so much. The ocean
did not take Marisol's flower because it was too pretty where it was. Be
humble.
(for Nelson): This one, if you met him when he was young, he was
not humble - and he hit many walls. He did not want to listen to me. He was
young, and he wanted to do many things, and I told him to just be humble. He
would put a gold chain around his neck to show he was doing well, and the chain
would always give him a rash. So he had something bad to be proud of. One day,
he will be giving speeches in front of a lot of people - all over the world. He
told me no, not in a million years, but it will be my message. It's part of the
work that he and I agreed to do, to open the world to the real meaning of life.
He doesn't want to do it, but he will.
(for Eva): It was me. I gave you that message today.
Bernardo, I will be there with you tomorrow. Sonia, thank you again for
keeping the doors open here. Jeff, your writings, that place where you put
them, it is doing more good than you can imagine. For all of you, be healthy
and warm. Take care of each other.
Nelson closed with a
prayer.
