Florida - December 6, 2015

In attendance: Astrid, Gloria, Jeff, Nelson, Rafael and Santiago  

 

Once we were seated at the table, Gloria heard a spirit ask if our earlier conversation from the living room could be continued.  Nelson read a portion of Chapter VI from Kardec's The Spirits Book on "Wandering Spirits".  We discussed questions 223-230.  In the higher worlds, reincarnation is almost immediate after the spirit separates from the body.  In worlds of lower advancement, the soul becomes a wandering spirit, waiting and expecting something to happen.  These intervals may last a few hours to thousands of ages. 

(Note:  Want to know more?  Read questions 223-230 in the next post)

 

Spirit 1 (via Nelson):  As an illustration, Nelson's guide ushered in a wandering spirit:
Spirit: All we need to do is whisper in your ear and you follow what we say.  You think it comes from your own mind when we whisper.  I like chaos.  When it's removed I feel rejected.  If we remove ourselves because we are ready to move away, you people call us back.  You humans blame us, but you are at fault for feeding us - and some of you cannot be happy unless you are feeding us.  (The spirit looked at Rafael)  His entire family is that way, starting with the dad.  The dad feels empty and lonely.  Attending the (spiritual) centers gave him a sense of belonging.  He is looking for that sense of tranquility again, and he cannot find it now, even for a second.  He is desperately looking.  He feels that if this is his life, then he just wants to go.  And he doesn't want to lose what little he has gained (spiritually). 

 

Nelson sensed an issue with one of Rafael's sisters.  Nelson saw her having control over everything in his parents house, and Rafael said she had a camera installed to monitor them.  Nelson described the sister as a "carrier of chaos".  Like someone spreading a virus, she brings chaos into that house, and Rafael's father wants it to end.  When he sits quietly, he deals with what she has brought in, and it's intense.  The sister is the cause of his sadness.  Nelson was shown a big truck that unloads its cargo and leaves.  Astrid said the sister knew what she was doing, and Nelson agreed. 

 

Spirit 2 (via Nelson): Nelson advised Rafael to be cautious with his words.  The less he says to his sister, the better.  Nelson also understood that this sister was the cause of Rafael's divorce.  She sees Rafael as her enemy, and that animosity is not from a past life, it is from this life.  Nelson envisioned her as a cancer, eating away at everything.  When she knows that Rafael will attend a session, she calls on the spirits to do evil.  Nelson heard a female spirit say, "I almost had him" in reference to Rafael's mini stroke.  The spirit sat through Nelson:

Spirit: I am very good at what I do.

Astrid: It's over, it stops now.

Spirit: Be careful what you call, when you call.  We do whatever needs to be done.

Astrid: You are enabling her (the sister).

Spirit: We like to do the dirty work.  Sometimes we give her a little taste because she likes it.  There are a lot of us out there.

Jeff: Aren't you tired of that work?

Spirit:  No!  You do your work, I do mine.  We almost got him!  We love what we do.  You make it so easy.  When you allow us in, then you are under my control.  The only reason we came here today was to be honest.  We didn't want to come, but someone with much more charisma gave us an invitation - and we couldn't say no.  We tried, but he really had something.  (to Rafael)  Be careful of that one.  She likes to bring in things that are not good.  She looks at you sees evil - she wants to cuss you.  (to the table)  He is telling us that we will not wander anymore.  We have to learn to be like him, and I am very curious.  He looks at you, and you get numb.  He controls the mind.

Gloria:  He came to help you.  Look around you - it's dark.  With him there is a light.

Spirit: There are eight of us, he said to tell you.  We are going with him, we are all curious.  He brings peace.

 

After the spirits had gone, Nelson said they came in today with Rafael.  Nelson noticed them and he could not shake Rafael's hand.  When Rafael visits his parents, Nelson told him to prepare himself with prayers - and to ask for protection from his spirit guides.  Rafael should try to keep away from his sister.

 

Spirit 3 (via Astrid): Nelson wanted to ask Gloria about the spirit of John's son (John is the husband of Gloria's daughter).  John's son was addicted to drugs when he was alive, and a therapist recommended that John financially close the door to him so that he was no longer enabling his habit. As Gloria was explaining, a spirit jumped into Astrid to speak:

Spirit: It started here (in Florida) when he was young.  Here I am, to testify about that!  When children lack love and direction, this can be the result.  Life starts in the home.  I am a friend, and I thank you for having me here to talk about this stuff.

 

Spirit 4 (via Nelson): Nelson sensed that something happened to John's son when he was young, and Nelson began to understand that the boy was sexually abused.  When the child was 6-7 years old, the mother was divorced and she was seeing several men.  Some of those men abused the boy, and escaping into drugs was his way not to remember his emotional scars and his embarrassment.  Nelson saw the boy as a seven year old crouched in a corner, with his head on his knees, crying continuously:

Spirit (in tears): How?  How did this happen?  Can someone tell me how to get rid of that pain?

Astrid: Someone took advantage of you.  You were innocent.

Spirit: She said we needed the money.  I told her I didn't like it.

Jeff: It's not going to happen again.  It was a mistake.

Spirit: I just want to know, why didn't anyone stop it?  Whey didn't he (John) stop it?  Why?  Why?  Don't leave me with her, I told him.  Now I don't want to be there (in the house) with him.  I blamed him, there were lots of things, and I didn't like them.  I want to go (away from his dad).  I stopped doing everything, but I did everything I could to make things go away, and I couldn't.  Would you tell her (Gloria's daughter who saw the spirit) that I didn't mean to scare her.  I wanted her to see me.

Gloria: She understands, and I will tell her.  And don't listen to your sister if she calls you back.

Spirit: I won't.  I only want to remember my life up to now, at this age.  I'm going to start fresh and be happy.  Can you do something for me?  Someone has a little bear of mine, and it's the only thing I could talk to.  He has all my memories, because I only talked to him.  He is brown and his nose is partially chipped.  I put that part in my mouth to stop crying.  He (the spirit guide) tells me that I don't have to feel dirty any more.  He's a good man.  I can start fresh.  (intense crying)  Guess what he is giving me?  The bear!  He says I can make new memories now.

 

The spirit left quietly and Nelson said that he took four other spirits (from John) with him.  These spirits were very slim, with no body flesh, and Nelson saw them eating away at John's flesh.  The spirit of the boy had started to notice it, so Nelson and his guide had to become seven year old boys to persuade the boy's spirit to visit our table.  (NOTE:  Although this spirit agreed to leave, he returned to our table again at a later date.  In both the material world and the spirit world, we always keep our free will to make our own decisions.)

 

Spirits 5 & 6 (via Nelson): Nelson's spirit guide spoke from his position behind Nelson.  He said that there were thousands of spirits, all around the world, without any direction or hope.  There were battles for these souls between the good and bad spirits.  Some of the bad spirits would offer to help, but they caused more problems.  Caballito had some specific examples.  Nelson was shown five spirits leaving their bodies.  They were being greeted by two welcoming parties.

 

Caballito: Look at this one, from a 70 year old man.  He fought until the end, until his body spit him out.  All this spirit has in his mind is, 'They will spend all my money now'.  Nothing else.  We gave him a hand and offered him love, and we asked him to come with us.  The other side also offered him a hand, without any words, and it contained a stack of money.  Which hand do you think he will accept? 

 

Caballito: Here is another one, a 45 year old female who was married.  She had a lover, and her mind is only thinking about who will replace her now with that lover.  She worries only about that.  When your time comes, leave everything behind and go to that hand of love.  Here's another one, you would call him a bum.  He was a drunk, and that other side is showing him a bottle of liquor.  Boom!  There he goes with them.  I want you to understand how this works.  Nelson has been wondering about our purpose with this work every week, and I told him that I would show him.  When they choose that side, we have to find them - and they have a need to speak through a material body because they made a material choice.  When they come directly with us, that spirit doesn't need to sit.

 

Caballito: Another one is in a funeral home, right now.  He is a spirit in a casket, and some people are crying at his funeral.  Others are not.  Some spirits have come to get him, but he refuses to leave, until he can kill one female who is crying the loudest.  It's his wife, and everyone thought she was the best wife in the world, but he all he wants is to kill her.  Multiply that hate by a thousand, and you will understand why we need the work.  All of you can see that it doesn't take months or years, we can have a spirit like this one sit immediately - so he can move on and forgive the revenge.  (Nelson began tapping on the table)  He cannot say too many words, as he doesn't know what happened, but we brought him in - and he can sit for a few seconds.  (The new spirit arrived, replacing Caballito)

Spirit: What happened?  I don't understand.  I saw myself, what happened?  This is not the funeral home.

Astrid: They will take you to a place to learn.

Spirit:  I can leave all that behind?  I won't see her again?  She was harming me.  I am free and no more pain.  I am free!  I chose the right hand, and I was so afraid to pick that one, and now I am glad that I did!  I can leave it all behind.  I am going with him and I am at peace!  (The spirit raised both hands in triumph and he was gone.  Caballito returned.)

 

Caballito: Soon you will know who died, who that spirit was.  Do what he did when it is your turn.  You have not seen anything yet.  If you (the mediums) would have been prepared today, I could have shown all of you that man in the funeral home, not just Nelson.  Next time, it can be the three of you.  Do not trap yourselves into things related to the material world.  What you need to do is straighten your lives - by thinking good, acting good, being good.  Do that, and you will see a change in yourselves.

 

(for Rafael):  Listen to my words.  Take them to mind and you will see the changes that you are looking for,  act and receive.  Act with kindness and love - and others around you will change, with your actions.  It's simple.  I know you want to ask me something else.

Rafael: I have a major change coming up in my life with my son, and I am worried about his mother's impact.

Caballito:  Extend your hand with caring and love, and he will be okay.  You have to show him by example.  When you speak, make it with love and softness.  Do not speak loudly.  If you want my help and guidance, here it is: It has to come from your heart, and it's not there yet.  The love has to be in that hand.  Do that, and you will see the changes in everything around you.  And put the health of that friend you are worried about in God's hands - your hands are not clean yet.

 

(for Astrid): You have something, too.

Astrid: I wonder why I am not a better medium.

Caballito:  When you sit there, sometimes your mind is not where it should be.  You are paying more attention to what is happening with him (Nelson) working, and you forget the work for yourself.  Concentrate on the spiritual.  For the material side, try to let go of things.  Let. it. go.  We need you and the work, for the group to continue. (for all)  Keep your mind, heart, and eyes open.  Keep us close to you.

 

Nelson closed with a prayer.

Florida - December 2, 2015

In attendance: Astrid, Frank, Jackie, Jeff, Nelson and Santiago

 

Jackie read a selection from Kardec's The Gospel According to Spiritism regarding melancholy, a temporary mood of depression.  We judge ourselves to be unhappy when we should be resolute, with the strength to stand up to the pressures of fulfilling our own individual missions on earth.

 

Nelson told the group about a close friend of his nephew who hanged himself because he was depressed over being gay and unable to deal with the situation.  Nelson was concerned because he thought that this spirit might influence others with his negative thoughts.  He also updated the group on the wife of Sonia's son (she has been institutionalized). 

 

Nelson asked Frank how he was feeling, and he said that he still had headaches.  The doctor recommended that no additional procedures were needed at this time, and he told Frank that the headaches may have been caused by a previous small stroke.  His doctor also noticed Frank's yellow skin and eye color.  Nelson explained (with the help of his guide) that we needed to treat the unhealthy occurences from the material world with material world procedures, but at the same time, there were spiritual issues that needed to be addressed.

 

Spirits 1 & 2 (via Nelson):  Nelson advised Frank to look deep inside himself to find a way to control his anxiety over the tumor.  Many people live long lives with similar situations.  If Frank was calmer, with less stress or emotion, his headaches would go away.  It's up to him to find a way to control his thoughts (as Jackie's reading suggested).  We are often afraid of the unknown and the next step, worrying ourselves needlessly, until the stress makes us sicker than the original ailment.  The group discussed the issue, and Santiago advised a prostate test for Frank to find out why he wakes up so frequently during the night. 

 

Nelson's guide said that if we take care of things from past lives by accepting what we did, our current reincarnation would be better.  Nelson was shown one of his past lives, and he was being burned by the Catholic church.  He wondered why, and he saw himself standing outside of a church trying to persuade people not to go in.  He was a medium, and he was able to stop the parishioners by telling them a fact about themselves.  A priest confronted him while he was standing on his soapbox, and Nelson asked him, "Why don't you tell everyone what you did three days ago?"  A beautiful woman arrived at the church, and Nelson saw himself telling the crowd, "Here is the one who shared your sin!"  The upset spirit of the priest arrived to sit through Nelson:

Spirit: I got transferred because of him!  I had to leave my church - and my love - because of him!  I have been waiting to see him, as I have been looking for him.  It was none of his business!  I was shamed, because she was a married lady.  He's the guilty one!

Astrid: You were guilty - twice - and then you sent him to die.  The truth is always painful to hear.

Spirit: It's my turn now, to shame and punish him.  I see what he does, and I will say it.  He lies in the bed with another man!  I want everyone to know it, what he does!

Jackie: We all know it.

Spirit: It's not a secret?  Nobody cares?

Jackie: What you need to realize is that you are dead.

Spirit (making the sign of the cross in front of Jackie with his fingers): You are a woman with no say-so!

Astrid: And you are a spirit, a soul.

Spirit: Only God is a spirit.  (looked at Jackie)  In my time, I would burn you down.  I'd like to burn you.  She has too many opinions.

Jackie: You are a soul with no power to burn anybody.

Spirit: Well, if I am, I am really in hell - having to listen to you.  Ohhh.  Look.  Do you know who is here with me?  The love of my life.  We are finally together, and I want to drop everything - this cross, my clothing - to be with her again.

Astrid: Both of you have a different journey...

Spirit: They are telling me I can leave here being a man and not a priest anymore.  Is that true?  Do you know why I ever became a priest?  My family told me it was a privilege.  They lied to me!  I was only happy with her, but I was not allowed to leave the church to be with her.

Jackie: And you killed someone.

Spirit: I had to shut him down.  How did that man know my secret?

Jackie: He was a medium, a seer. 

Spirit: We had some of those in the church, but we kept it quiet.  I understand what I did.  It was the wrong thing.  It's nice to see her again, but this lady was right - I cannot go with her.  We have to say goodbye, and she is crying.  I don't want to come back as a priest, please don't send me back as a priest.  I want to have sex with a woman!  I am getting rid of this dress and cross, so bring on the ladies!  I don't want to be around him (Nelson) any more, I want some ladies.  I am taking a group of friends with me, eight of us, but she is not going with us.  I'm also taking three boys along with me...

 

The spirit apologized to Jackie and thanked us for listening.  He left gently, but Nelson felt cold, and he saw the priest locked deep in a basement of the church.  His desire to leave the church resulted in his being removed completely from the public.  Whenever he was unwatched, the priest would remove his clothing and his cross.  He died in his basement prison, surrounded by thick books that Jackie saw him recopying by hand.

 

Spirit 3 (via Nelson): Frank left the table to use the restroom, and Nelson saw a spirit immediately sit down in his chair.  This spirit looked very similar to Frank, and he was seated in a pose similar to Rodin's statue, The Thinker.  This spirit liked to come very close to Frank, to make him think about whatever the spirit was thinking about:

Spirit (very jovial): So many thoughts and yet it's an empty head!  We over think until we are tired of thinking.  Sometimes I wake him up at night to think some more, but look - we have an empty mind!

Astrid: Why are you doing this to him?
Spirit: Because he is easy to control!  He's so easy when I get close to him and together we think about nothing.  That's why I don't like him to go on vacation or leave the house.

Jeff:  Those thoughts are hurting him.

Spirit (looking at Jackie):  Sometimes I make her think too, when she bothers me!

Jackie: You are not in the material world.  He has a life to deal with, and you don't.

Spirit: I like this job.  We worry about nothing.

Jackie: You don't have a body, and he does.

Spirit: Yes I do have a body.  It's right there (pointed to Frank).  That's ours to share.

Jackie: What was the last thing that you remember?

Astrid: You were once somebody.

Spirit: I was nothing.  I felt like nothing because I was nothing.

Jackie: Would you like to be something?

Spirit: I would like to be a thinker.  I could think on my own and leave this nothing behind.  The thoughts of nothing.  I would think and go anywhere I want.  But first, I need to find out who I was.  I don't remember.  I have to be careful with that.  They are going to start showing me my video of what I have been doing.  I have a mind, so I am something, I am someone.  I can go and just be free now.  I'm tired of thinking.  Look at that, I see fish.  I am by a river, and there are trees - I like it!  No people.  Now I understand.  (to Frank)  My friend, I am going to leave you.  I don't need to be in that house anymore.  This is so pretty, so nice.  I am going to go very quietly, because I am a quiet person.  (whispered)  Goodbye.

 

Nelson advised Frank to shut off the TV a half hour before he planned to sleep.  Reading or listening to music would be more relaxing and it would help him sleep better.  Nelson also thought that Jackie was becoming more apprehensive about her trip.  Nelson's guide spoke from his position behind Nelson:
Caballito: Don't over think it.  Remember to take the prayer book with you.  The situation with the baby is no longer in my hands.  (Note: The baby was born the next day)  Remember when you are there, take a deep look at the father.  Say little, but observe.  Don't judge, just observe.

 

(Nelson's spirit guide also wanted to address the table regarding  the boy who hanged himself.)

Caballito: We have a group of elevated - as you would call them, but we say worker - spirits who have a special assignment to work with humans who take their lives.  They have heard you today, and they will try to help that friend.  It's a delicate rescue mission.  That spirit still thinks that he is as alive as all of you are now, and he does not know what he did.  When you make a petition, a request, the spirits are listening.  We can only take the steps that are allowed.  This example demonstrates how cruel you humans are to each other.  Especially at Christmas, when all you say is love, love, love.  Very few people are passing that love on.  The words from your mouths should match your thoughts.  We hear your thoughts, and the mouth says one thing, the thoughts say another.  Sometimes we close our ears to you, so that we can only hear your thoughts.  (laughed)  Including you, Nelson!

 

Spirit 4 (via Jackie): Nelson's guide stepped back, and Jackie relayed a message from her mother:

Jackie: Mom whispered in my ear about the Silver Birch book, and the holidays.  The spirits go to classes, and they discuss how sad it is that the human holiday mood can only be expressed once or twice a year.  These spiritual classes are decided by what is needed for improvement and growth.  Others are in charge, making these determinations, and they are in charge of the instruction.  Jackie's mom compared it to the spiritual attention given to humans, telling the group, "You get as much of a break from us as your children got from you."  The group discussed her message, and Jackie closed with a prayer.

Chicago - December 27, 2015

Chicago - December 20, 2015

Florida - November 29, 2015

In attendance: Astrid, Frank, Gloria, Jackie, Jeff, Nelson and Santiago

 

Nelson read a selection from Kardec's The Spirits Book on "The Forgetfulness of the Past" in reference to why incarnated spirits lose their remembrance of past existences.  The table discussed the reading.

 

Spirits 1 & 2 (via Nelson):  Nelson's spirit guide arrived to clarify the lesson:

Caballito: Why are we discussing this, you are wondering.  Where are the spirits?  There are two purposes.  One is for you to learn, and the other purpose is for the spirits I brought in.  These spirits are afraid to think for themselves.  We have a little bit of everything today. 

Astrid: That's good - more spiritual development.

(Nelson's guide ushered in a confused spirit from the Catholic faith who was unable to think for himself)

Spirit: I am who I am.  You may not like it, but it's who I am.  What you are doing here should be combined with the Catholic church.  It would be easier to understand if they taught us.  If Jesus said something, we would do it.  I do not want to think on my own.

Astrid: It helps you to look inside yourself.

Spirit: I will have to find out who I really am, and I don't like it.  They are showing me what we did, who we were, and we do not like it. 

Jackie: You can change all of that.

Spirit: Do you want me to show you my camera of what I did?  I did it, I know it, but I do not want to see it.

Gloria: Accept what happened and be sorry.

Spirit: I joined this (Catholic) religion to get away from all that.  Do you know what I did, for my own benefit, for my own grandeur?  I allowed my lover to marry my brother.  Then I killed him to be with her again, so I would have all the gold coins.  Deep inside, I was never happy.  I carried that with me.  I found the church, but it was not about the truth.  My brother has found me, and he invited me here today.  I thought he was going to kill me, but they tell me he just wanted to hear the truth - so he could forgive me.  Do you know what I did with all that money I took from him?  Nothing but evil.

Astrid: Forgive yourself and ask your brother to forgive you.

Spirit: I am looking at him now and asking.  I am so sorry.  What is next for me - and all of us?

Jackie: You will learn to think on your own.

Spirit (noticing the spirit of a Catholic priest):  You!  You lied to me!  I died all alone.  I couldn't breathe, and he told me, 'God is waiting for you!' and I have been waiting and waiting until today when these people showed up.  All of us will go, and I will leave that money behind.  Waiting and waiting.  I am taking four priests, seven nuns, sixteen like me - we didn't think on our own - and three kids.  That lady I told you about, the one who was my lover?  She is not in good shape.  Will you do me a favor and thank him (the spirit guide) for me?  I have spent so long waiting for the truth.  (the spirit started to fade)  Oh, my God, oh my God, what is this?  Take that away, oh my God!

 

The spirit left abruptly and Nelson asked Jackie if her niece had delivered her baby yet (no).  Nelson was shown that the baby did not want to come, and the spirit was fighting not to be born.

 

Spirit 3 (via Gloria):  gloria was studying the spirit of a Catholic priest, and he spoke through her:

Spirit: God of our fathers, blessings to everyone.  We priests study a lot - like you.  It's very deep.  Theology.  We learned that the soul doesn't die.  But people have to come to us for forgiveness.  If they don't, the church would be empty, they would never come.

Nelson: You are forcing them to come.

Spirit: But we need them, we have expenses.  They sent this man (the new Pope) and we do not like him!  He's a spiritist!  They all are.  They don't want money, and we are going to lose the Vatican, when we need to lose that king!  I have a big group here.

Astrid: Don't you see what you have done?  Even you have doubt.

Spirit: This is voodoo.

Nelson: If you study as much as you say, there is a whole area of information written about spiritism.  Why have you hidden those books?

Spirit: I cannot do it anymore, the 'Believe in us, we are the word!'  (sighed)  Now they want to take us to another place.  They call me a liar, but they told us not to tell people!  We didn't mean anything bad.

Jeff: How many are with you?

Spirit: Thousands.  (Nelson was shown 2015 as the number)  But no more.  We are very sorry.  I will preach only good, like he (the spirit guide) does.  Blessings... 

 

The spirit departed and Nelson asked Santiago if he had a good week (he did).  Nelson saw him more at peace, but he was also shown the spirit of someone in a French castle.  When Santiago felt this spirit, he would nod off and fall asleep.  Gloria heard a spirit say, "He's the king," and Nelson understood that the 

spirit he envisioned wanted to end the relationship between Astrid and Santiago. 

 

Spirit 4 (via Nelson):  A difficult spirit was emerging, and Nelson knew that she had been around Astrid for a very long time.  She influenced Astrid's accident, created issues with Santiago, and conflict with Astrid's daughters and her mother.  In her mind, this spirit had been betrayed many times by Astrid.  There were more than two shared lifetimes between the two of them.  In this lifetime, the spirit wanted to be born again as Astrid's sister.  In the previous lifetime, she and Astrid were sisters, but Astrid married the man that she (the spirit) loved (Santiago).  This spirit wanted Santiago to kill Astrid in this life, and if he refused, the spirit would find another way to do it:

Spirit (referring to the car accident): She survived the first one, but not the next one!  Nothing but betrayal from her.  We were coming together again as sisters in this life; but because of her, our mother wouldn't allow it.  After her, no more kids.  I was left behind because she (Astrid) wouldn't let me come back!  And I wanted to come back, just to kill her and that mother.  (looked at Astrid and turned in the chair)  I did not want to come here to see her.

Gloria:  You see her everyday when you are around her.

Spirit: When will you people stop tolerating her?  They treat me like nothing, like garbage.  I'm going to finish what I started.  (laughed)  She was almost out of that house!  Get out, get out, you do not belong there! 

Jackie: It's you who doesn't belong there.  You are no longer alive.  You don't have a body.

Spirit:  Who cares?  Revenge is all I think about. 

Jackie: Think of something else - an event that brought you joy and peace.

Spirit: That was only when I was little.  We used to play together, as sisters - as friends.

Jackie: If you cannot forgive her, forgive yourself.

Spirit: I have wasted all my time with her!  I want her out of my mind.  I gave myself to him (Santiago) but he married her because she was the oldest.  At the end, I died all alone and I never found love again.  I never found happiness, and I will never let any of them find it now.  Even that mother.  They said they will take me to a place where I never have to see any of them.

Gloria: Let go of that hate and go.

Spirit: That's all I have to do?  Here you go, have my hate.  I am going to be free - finally - of all of them.  He says I have to be sorry for all the harm I caused.  I'm going to find my own peace, me and my army.  There are 12 of us.  (long pause)  You would not believe who they brought in here - the mother!  I am not forgiving her!  I can never be at peace with her, I hope she goes to hell, because she is not going with me.  That's better, they took her away from me.  I will go with this kind man.  He's the only thing I have seen in a long time with any love.

 

Nelson explained how difficult it was to remove this spirit from Santiago and Astrid's house.  Caballito explained that Astrid and this spirit would come back together again in the next life:

Caballito:  This spirit will come for you when it is time for you to return home.  It must be reconciled.  It's the same in regards to him, (Santiago).  If you are willing, just 'let go' sometimes.  Let that hand that you want to use to give punishment give him love instead of anger.  We will be bringing this spirit around to observe.  We all get impulses, but pull back and say, 'No, I am not going to do that.'  You will see how much change it brings.  You will realize how easy and kind life can be.  We put the kindness we have aside because we think it will make us weaker.  Don't.  Put it in the center of your hand.  Sometimes you say, 'spiritual growth,' let's start to show it.  We have removed that big obstacle, so move forward.  I had to sit to say it, so if she (Astrid) wants to be angry at me, be mad at Caballito.  You have been looking at books and other things for growth, but it will come from within.  That's a message for everyone - you can cure yourselves with a smile, all of you.

 

(For Jackie:) What about the father (of the niece's baby)?  Have you ever seen him angry? (No) The baby does not want to come.  Take a look at him when you are there, and you will see it.  Observe him, and they will show you what is really there.

 

(For Rafael:) How is your son?

Rafael: I spoke to him this morning and his mother is not treating him well - there's an edge.

Caballito: Be there for him when he opens his eyes.  Be ready for the unexpected.  You might be going up there sooner than you think.  There is more work to do, so I will step aside for now.

 

Nelson and Jeff explained the situation with the wife of Sonia's son (in Chicago).  Jackie envisioned her standing in front of a brick building that appeared to be a mission.  Astrid thought that the phone call from her came from someone else.  (Update: The call was from the mother, and the older son answered.  The mother told him she was staying with someone in Wisconsin.)  Nelson saw her walking into a pond, and all the mediums agreed that her illness could be managed if she worked hard and took her medication.  Nelson believed that all her issues were spiritual, and she could function better if she receives help in that area.

 

Spirits 5 & 6 (via Nelson):  Nelson was shown some spiritual Indian friends who were around his father when he recently visited his land in the country.  Nelson's dad always acknowledged the Indian spirits on his previous visits, but now they felt abandoned:
Spirit: He drank something that he should not have drunk (possibly a beer), and he did not share it with us.  He enjoyed it all himself, without acknowledging us.  He cannot forget us.  He's paying more attention to that white woman (Nelson's mother).  He knows not to forget us.  We aren't evil, but we do get angry.  He doesn't visit to take care of us.  It's that white woman.  He used to say a sip for him, a sip for them.  We are not alone, there are 'negritos' here too - and they are really angry.  That is our land, and it's beautiful, but we share it with them  They stay on one half, we are on the other - right down the middle.

Jackie: You don't age, but the people who visit there get older, and they forget.

Spirit: We don't change but they do?  Is that why they say we have to move on?  We don't understand so many things.  I am worried about the negritos.

Jackie: We will take care of them.

Spirit: We have spent a lot of time on that land.  All of us there, 22 of us.  (pause)  Look at that!  They came to pick us up on white horses!  Nothing on top of the horse, we grab them by the hair (mane) and we will be free.  Look at my horse!  White with brown patches - beautiful.  Before I go, tell him (Nelson's father) not to forget about us.  Those negritos were with that white woman (Nelson's mother), and they are taking them away.  The negritos do not like her.  They want to put her in a big black pot on a hot fire and boil her. 

 

(The Indian spirit bowed quietly and faded away.  He was immediately replaced with one of the black Spanish speaking spirits)

 

Spirit: We are good, and we do many good things.  We watch the land, and we make water when there is none to grow the food.  We have burned many people.  We put fire next to them.  But we are good, and nobody else takes care of the land like us.  We eat delicious food.  The head of the pig, potatoes, yucca, vegetables from the ground.  The meals are lonely now, nobody goes to our land.  That white woman!  (laughing at Nelson's mother)  Her legs are too fat to walk, like the pig!  We are content - and happy to talk to you.  We didn't want to wait another week.  We know that we are spirits.  I jumped into him (Nelson) before he could tell us next week.  Jump!  We were in.  A lot of us are here.  When you want a party, tell us and we will make one for you - with dancing! - but no shoes.  We are not ignorant, but people say we are.  No diploma, but we know how to plant and grow fruit.  We talk too much, we have to leave.  Thanks to all of you.  The negritos say goodbye...

 

Nelson's spirit guide returned to speak directly to Frank about his headaches:

Caballito: It's tension, that's all.  Nobody is in a hurry, correct?  (to Frank)  Don't get up, stay where you are.

(Caballito walked over to Frank's chair and placed a hand by the right side of his head.  There wasn't any talking, and after a while, he used both hands.  Nelson leaned against the wall when it was over.)

Caballito: Feeling better?  It's going to go away.  Go to that doctor on Tuesday and then tell us about it on Wednesday.  Try to do very little before you go on Tuesday, and the doctor will see what he needs to see.  Don't let your nerves get to you.  I gave you some heat to alleviate what you felt.  Just relax.

Frank: I have an appointment for blood work on that same day.

Caballito: That's okay.  (returned to his seat)  Give me a couple of minutes, please.  (There was a long pause, followed by Caballito reaching out one hand in the direction of Frank and Marian.)  I want to make sure they are both in good shape.  Sometimes the energy collapses, but there is nothing to be worried about.  And now you can close.

 

Jackie closed with a prayer. 

Florida - November 24, 2015

In attendance: Astrid, Frank, Jackie, Jeff, Nelson and Santiago

 

Jackie read a selection from Kardec's The Gospel According to Spiritism entitled "Mission of the Intelligent Person on Earth."

 

Spirits 1 & 2 (via Nelson):  Nelson realized that Jackie was worried about something with her upcoming trip to Baltimore, and Jackie explained that it was only the timing of her monthly bills.  Nelson's spirit guide believed there was something else, and he told her that whatever she had been asking about, it would be taken care of, and Jackie should leave it alone:  "If an ingredient is left out when cooking, it still results in something.  Your trip should be seen that way.  Whatever is missing cannot be restored later.  Once it's done, it is done."  Jackie was apprehensive because her sister's son would be there, and there was some conflict with him in the past. Jackie's niece was also about to have her baby, and Jackie explained the confusion and chaos around everything and everyone involved.  Nelson started coughing (much more than usual), as he envisoned the doctors opening up the niece to remove the baby.  "If the baby arrives ill or damaged, that family is not ready for it," Nelson said.  An anxious, very nervous spirit was running towards Nelson.  In his mind, this spirit believed that he still had time to end the pregnancy.  This male spirit wanted to remove the female baby and take its place, so that Jackie's niece would let him be born: 

 

Spirit (frightened and worried):  I'm smart and I'm angry.  Whey did they allow someone else to take my spot?  If she wants a girl, I'm in a hurry, I need what you have, and I am willing to do that transgender thing.  See how smart I am?  I don't want to wait anymore, she's the one I wanted for my mother.

Jackie: If you want to be born, you have to go to someone else.

Spirit: I want to get out of where I am.  I want to get out of where I was (coughing) because I was trapped.  I'm running and I am in a hurry.  I'm so afraid.  I've been running and I don't want them to catch me. 

(A woman rang Astrid's front doorbell)

Spirit: That bell!  They know I am here!

Jeff: They cannot find you now.

Spirit: There are not going to get me here?  They do not want me to be born, and I cannot be with them anymore.  I'm running. 

Jackie: Do you see them now?  They are gone.

Spirit: I'm afraid to look.  (long pause)  I looked.  You took them?

Jackie: They are gone.  And now someone will come, and you will be taken to a place to calm down.  You cannot be born in your current condition.

Spirit:  I didn't mean harm.  There's one ahead of me, I see her.  I have no problem being in line again - but not with them!  I understand now, but I wanted to be safe and I was anxious.  I'm going back to that line.  I am okay.  I'm so sorry I was creating a commotion, a mess.  She's going to be okay now because I won't be there.  That line, it's better than where I was.  I ran and ran to get here, but I don't know how I got here.  If you see others running like me, open that door to them.  Will you do that?  What is your name?  I'm going to call you "go there" so I can tell the others:  "Go there!"

 

The spirit expressed his appreciation several times and he was gone.  He said he no longer wanted to be transgender.  Astrid said that she was shown a dark body in pieces.  Nelson said that when he sat down at the table, his spirit guide was not with him.  Astrid agreed, as she saw spirits in the other room observing our session, but the area around the table was empty.  Nelson felt as if he was going to faint, and he called on his spirit guide to help.  Caballito also wanted Nelson to understand what had happened, so he spoke from a position behind Nelson:

Caballito:  This was an example of a spirit willing to run because things were so bad over there.  So many things, all of them bad.  Humans are putting conditions on babies (limiting their birth) and there is a need for these spirits to be born.

Astrid: How did this spirit find himself there?

Jackie: He was sucked in.

Caballito: He thought he was following the right option.  Once he was involved, he was trapped.  Have you seen the movie Nosso Lar?  In it, the spirits visit the muddy world of trapped souls to give their hand.  When that happens, we need protection.  It's an invisible cover.  This was a rescue mission.  We gave our hand, and he took it.  We put on that cover, invisible to their eyes, as we are still vulnerable.  Because it was a rescue mission, there wasn't any time for him (Nelson) to ask me to tell him more about the spirit.  The rescue mission was not only him, it included eight others, all of them running.  That is why this group had to meet today and not tomorrow. 

Jeff: So it was urgent.

Caballito:  There are two kinds of rescue.  When we slowly take them away, the process is longer and it requires that spirit stays longer (in the spirit world).  This way is faster.  The spirit can go to a different place and reincarnate quickly, as the work will start immediately.

 

Nelson's guide stepped back, and the understanding of what had happened overwhelmed Nelson.  He began to tear up, as he was humbled by the beautiful experience.  "I don't think I have done anything to deserve this, something so beautiful," Nelson said. "Anytime, anyplace, I will be there and I will do the work.  It's for our progress."  The table discussed the experience.  Nelson had not fully recovered, so his guide returned, and he spoke directly through him:

Caballito: The spirit world wants to use his (Nelson's) abilities to help the world become a better place.  New things are coming, like it or not.  Now you understand how one spirit can kill another, and a baby is born dead.  There are many rescue missions that need to be done.  You have seen nothing yet.  God did not create evil, but those at the top have their strength from the amount of spirits they have.

 

(There were some specific messages)

 

(For Gabe): Tell Gabe that he can ask any questions he wants, but before he asks, think twice.  I told some of you to say prayers on specific dates and he asked me about prayers for his trip.  Did I say anything about prayers for his trip to him?  Don't ask questions that are related to the material world, ask questions related to spiritism.  Prayers can resolve the problems in the material world.  (looking at Astrid, Caballito spoke to her in Spanish, and then he spoke to the group again)  Even the little things, everything that starts with a prayer of faith will end well.  Gabe would love to meet me, but when that happens, he will faint.  What he expects is an elegant white man with long hair, and instead, he will see me with no shoes.  He will learn.  He is at a point now where he's like a sponge, soaking it all up. 

 

(For Frank):  Doctors are only humans with an education.  That's all.  Sometimes, the doctors like to use humans for practice.  It's up to you not to be used without consent.  Don't let that doctor get into your head.  When that doctor finds something he does not understand, he likes to experiment.  Get him out of your head.  That doctor thinks that by using you, maybe he can save a hundred others.  Remove him from your head, and your headaches will go away.  Don't think about him.  In a few months, another test will be done.  But for now, do nothing.  We will talk about it later.  Do not let him into your head.

 

(For Santiago):  It's the same for you.  Some of the doctors think they know it all.  They have - what is it called - a diploma, and they think it makes them God.  They forget that an operation without spiritual workers will not be a success.  We move the hand.  With us workers, every single operation could be successful.  When we hear those prayers, we go - if we are allowed. 

 

(For Nelson): He hates it when I take him over.  I have to do it, for him to understand that what he does is nothing.  Others see it and say, 'Whoa', but he is not doing it.  Just like the doctor, it's a success because we - the workers - are here.  There are a lot of us out there, and sometimes we are doing nothing because there are no prayers.  If you ask with just a little bit of faith, we are there.  For us, there are no limitations.  Some of the things you will experience will not happen at other places because they are not prepared.  You mediums need to be prepared.  You make the decision to stay clean, you decide it.  Don't stop, it's in your hands.

 

(For the group):  For all of you, if you don't understand something, ask me.  We have - what is it called here, training?  I often stand up and tell them, 'A human asked me this question...'  Sometimes they tell me to respond with, 'You will know in time,' as we are not God and we do not want to give the wrong idea.  I will tell you this story.  Nelson could not find an answer to a question today.  I asked him again what his question was, but he could not define it, so I could not answer.  I told him, 'Let me think about it'.

Jeff: I know the question.  In our last session, we dealt with Michael's spirit.  He was killed by someone, and we wondered if that was part of his predetermined destiny, or was his life cut short by that person?

Caballito:  There are two ways to answer.  Sometimes those incidents are preplanned - but by you, not us.  Sometimes they are not, and those individuals are a causality of their own mistakes.  When we create the wrong relationships, there are consequences.  You are responsible for those consequences because you created those relationships.  For Michael, we tried that day to stop him.  The workers tried, but he put his job before anything else.  He changed his destiny by his own choices.  Let me give you another example.  When 9/11 - as you call it - happened, didn't you read some stories of people who were delayed or sick on that day?  Some of them said, 'Something told me not to go'.  There was a pilot for one of the planes, and his wife asked him not to work on that day - and he listened.  Nothing changed what happened, it was their decisions and choices that changed things only for them.  You change it for you.  Sometimes we don't listen to that guardian angel or that worker.  And sometimes we make something happen (spiritually, as a warning) because we didn't want you to go through that experience.  There is never one answer. 

 

Nelson and I work together with the same method.  I need to do something.  Astrid, will you hand me that (dishtowel)?  I did not ask Jeff, because I need to use it on him.  (Note: Jeff injured both of his hamstring muscles running on Monday.  Caballito used the towel to remove all of the pain.)

 

(For Santiago, in Spanish):  We need to remove some spirits from the past.  You don't know what to do with them, because we need to work on them.  Hopefully, soon, one of those friends will sit.  It's something from the past that you did, and it's difficult to deal with.  We are removing some now.  Fourteen of them.  (to Jeff) Put this down for me, there is a group of soldiers that we are still working on.  44 of them, from WWI.  Santiago is not falling asleep because he is tired, some friends are doing it to him. 

 

I appreciate what Nelson did today, and that is why I have been here for so long.  Call me, and I will be there.  Do the prayers.  Until next time...

 

Jackie closed with a prayer.
