Now, it is extreme egotism to imagine that you can only be alive if you have a body. You are indeed being closed-minded. The voice that I can use on occasion could shatter the small image through which I speak and the spirit that belongs to your parents could not be contained in one bodily form or two. The spirit of your parents is, of course, free. You are free even while you are in the flesh, and I have nothing against the flesh. I have had some time with it through past lives, and found it very handy, indeed, so I am not prejudiced. You are caught up in conventional ideas of this. It is this that frightens you in your dreams. The spirits of your parents are free. Allow them their freedom and speak kindly to them. You would frighten the ghosts away with your own fear. If you had to go through all that they had to go through to contact a beloved daughter, how would you feel if you were met with fear and terror?

We are not having a long session this evening, a very short one. I simply wanted you to know that the dead can be quite lively, that they are not quiet and somber and that your mother only appeared tired because she knew you expected her to. She did not want to frighten you.

(After break, to Sally B.) I will bid you all good evening, and whenever you are ready I will be ready to help you out of your body, but you are a slowpoke and you get frightened.

You need not do so. Once you realize that your guilt has no basis then it can dissolve. It is only when you do not understand it that you become frightened and project it in such a manner. You are creating the guilt, and through understanding you can learn to dissolve it for it will simply vanish.
