Caroline Wants Nice.

Sunday, March 15, 2015 
Wake-up Pages visitor is Caroline.


Me: How can I help?
C: Tell someone to send me to a place where all the nice people are.
M: Why that?
C: I don't like people who aren't nice.
Me: Ben?
B: Hi Caroline. I'm Ben.
C: I want to be with nice people.
B: Are you nice?
C: Sometimes.
B: What would you do with nice people?
C: I would be nice with them. 
B: What would you do with people who are not nice? 
C: I'd hide from them and I would cry.
B: Why are you still here?
C: I want to be sure nobody bad will get me.
B: When you let go of whatever is keeping you connected to your old life I can help you cross over to the TSP and you can start planning your next life. 
C: But...
B: What ? 
C: I want to get even with some people who were not nice to me.
B: Was it their fault you died?
C: No, but I heard one of them say, "Good riddance; the old bat was a pain in the ass." 
B: That isn't nice.
C: It isn't. I don't understand why people weren't nicer to me. I just wanted everyone to be nice the way I was. 
B: Sounds like you might have been kind of bossy.
C: I had to be. I had to try to make everyone be nice. If people weren't nice it wasn't fair to the people who were nice. 
B: Tell you what; if you can forget about avenging and punishing the Not Nice and start thinking about what you want to do next you can go to the TSP and start planning a new life. 
C: Okay. I'd like to plan a new life. With no people who aren't nice.
B: Well the possibilities are infinite. But are you sure that's what you want?
C: Okay maybe one person who isn't nice. And all the nice people could gang up on him and beat the crap out of him. 
B: You know, Caroline, maybe you would do better in a situation where there are quite a few really bad people. Everybody likes to punish villains.
C: Yes! I want to do that. Can I be a villain punisher?
B: Possibilities abound. Maybe you could be a police officer, or a judge.
C: Or a superhero! Like Super Man or Wonder Woman. I would have super powers and I would pounce on bad guys and send them to prison. After I've roughed them up a little first. 
B: Superheroes surely exist in some form of reality. Of course Batman didn't have super powers. He was just an awesome physical specimen and he was smart and he had a lot of great gadgets. 
C: I could do that! I could train as a gymnast and a martial artist and a ballet dancer--cause they can kick really high! Hah! Take that, Villain. You want Swan Lake? I got your Swan Lake right here.
B: Okay. Well, do you think you're ready to move on now?
C: Yeah. Let the not-nice people deal with each other. I'm ready to take on EVIL!
B: Okay. Look up ahead. Do you see a light?
C: I do! And I see people. They are dressed in white and they are bowing.
B: Are they angels?
C: No, there's a sign that says TNS.
B: TNS?
C: The Take-No-Shit School of Martial Arts. Sign me up!

Ruth Ann Blesses the Wedding

3/17/2015

0 Comments

 
On Thursday, March 12, the Wake-up Visitor was Ruth Ann. She wanted to attend her cousin's wedding. The girls were very close. Ruth Ann was supposed to be the Maid of Honor. But she died. She doesn't want to go to the TSP until after the wedding. Ben admits that he attended his brother's concert that way. But he added that there was so much energy there that nobody felt him soaking up some of it. A wedding is different. He told her that a spirit that hasn't crossed over would use up energy and make everyone feel sad or anxious or even angry. Ruth Ann said she didn't want that. She wanted the couple to be happy.

B: The best thing you can do is move on to the TSP. You can plug into the Source. and receive all the energy you need. 
RA: But I'll be gone. 
B: No you won't. You'll be whole. And you'll be able to attend the wedding with all the other loved ones in the Gallery of the Gone-Befores. 
RA: Will she see me? 
B: She might. She will certainly feel your presence. 
RA: Will she know it's me?
B: I'm sure she will if she is at all sensitive to vibrations. And even if she doesn't know it's you or recognize your energy she will feel happy. She will feel as if her wedding has been blessed. 
RA: I want that. I want her wedding to feel blessed.
B: You can do that. People on the other side can bless people on this side. A blessing is an outpouring of positive energy. It changes the way people feel. It can even change the outcome of events by offering strength and encouragement and perspective that wasn't there before.

Wake-up Pages: Jel Went Camping

3/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Monday, March 16, 2015

Today's Wake-up visitor is Jel.

J: It's short for Jelicle Cat. My mom was a TS Elliot fan.
Me: How can I help?

J: I'm feeling strange. 
Me: Ill?
J: No. Not ill, not tired, not hungry, not weak, not in pain.
M: Sounds pretty good. 
J: But I'm not used to not feeling something unpleasant. 
M: I think unpleasantness is mainly a feature of being alive. Which, evidently, you are not.
J: That would explain a lot. I thought I would live through it.
M: Illness?
J: Camping trip. I went along to be a good sport. The kids and Bill love camping. I love a fire in the fireplace inside the house.
M: So what happened? 
J: I think it was a snake. I didn't see it. I was too busy watching for bears.
When I was young my dad took us kids camping. Mom stayed home because she was too pregnant. I wish I had thought of that. 
M: So you know you're dead? 
J: As the proverbial door nail.
M: So why are you still here?
J: Beats me. Am I supposed to go someplace?
M: I'll call Ben to tell you.
B: Hi Jel. I'm Ben.

J: I'm dead.
B: Yeah, me too. But you're really not getting the most out of it that you could.
J: I didn't know there was anything to get out of being dead. 
B: This is just the beginning of everything that happens hereafter.
J: Oh. That word actually means something? 
B: Sure does. 
J: It never made much sense to me. "Here" seems like a space/geography/ location kind of word and "after" seems like a time kind of word.
B: That's a clue right there to how different the Hereafter is from the 3D world where people try to separate time and space. 
J: So there's a place where time and space are the same thing?
B: Yes! And even better: Neither one of them exists at all!

J: But if that is true everything would happen at once. 
B: Yes! You can have all your birthday parties at once.
J: In the same place?
B: You can even have all the places in the same place if you want to.
J: How would you keep track of them?
B: You don't have to. You aren't limited to being aware of one time or place because you are outside of your 3D body. That's what it does, you know. It limits the amount of reality you can focus on.
J: You mean I wouldn't have to choose between going to my grandma's 80th birthday party and going to the Bee Gees concert?
B: Nope. You just focus on where you want to be. 
J: Awesome. I'm ready to see that. It's my kind of non-place.
B: All right then. I'll just drive you over in my Aston Martin.
J: Wait!
B: What?
J: I want to go back and give that snake a big hug.
B: Ha! You can do that in the TSP. And wait til you find out who that snake really is. Uh uh. Not telling.

Gordon Wants to be a Bull

3/6/2015

0 Comments

 

On Thursday, March 5, 2015 the Wake-up visitor was Gordon. (1)

G: I'm Gordon. You are nice to listen to me.
Me: What can I do for you, Gordon?
G: I want to spend some time in the TSP being a bull.
M: A bull? 
G: I always wondered what it would be like.
M: Ben?
B: Hi Gordon. I'm Ben.
G: I want to be a Bull. Not for a whole lifetime. Just to see what it's like. 
B: I guess I don't have to ask what you find appealing about that lifestyle.
G: LOL. No. It would be cool to be that big and in charge of a whole herd of cows.
B: In the TSP you can try anything you want. Most people don't focus their intent on being a bull but if they did they could. Is that all you want to do?
G: No. I'd like to come back a a door-to-door salesman. In a time when housewives were home all day.
B: You have some lofty ambitions.
G: I like a lot of females. They would like me too. 
B: Are you ready to head over to the TSP and start making plans with your team?
G: I have a team?
B: All those females have to come from somewhere.
G: Oh. I guess they do. Like "a cast of thousands."
B: Right. Like that.

March 6, 2015  Today's Wake-up visitor is Gordon. Again. (2)
Me: Who is here?
G: I'm Gordon.
M: Another Gordon?
G: I'm still Gordon.
M: You're back?
G: I haven't gone to the TSP yet.
M: Why not?
G: I'm afraid of all those women.
M: Ben?
B: Gordon, I'm Ben. I want you to understand that you create the reality you want to experience. You can create cows and if you feel that you have too many you can cease to focus your attention on them and they will leave your reality.
G: What about all the women?
B: Same thing. 
G: Will they stop existing? Isn't that like killing them?
B: They don't need you to exist. They always exist. You just allow them into your experience or not. 
G: Can I do that with camels?
B: Yes anything.

Smith Wants to be Chinese Billionaire 

Today's wake-up visitor is Smith. He woke me up frantically about 6:00 am but agreed to let me go back to sleep until wake-up pages time.

Smith: I want to be Chinese
Me: What are you now? 
S: Korean. Korean American.
M: With a name like Smith?
S: It's an American name. My parents wanted me to fit in.
M: But you want to be Chinese?
S: It's where all the opportunities are. We are going to OWN the United States.
M: I don't see any reason why you can't be Chinese. A lot of people are.
S: I'm going to make millions.
M: What if you are a poor Chinese?
S: Ha! No way.
M: Ben?
B: HI. I'm Ben.
S: I'm Smith and I'm going to be a Chinese Pahzilionaire. 
B: If you have made up your mind to reincarnate, why are you still here?
S: I want to make sure I get everything I want.
B: Nobody can decide that but you.
S: Like if I'm good I get rewarded? I've seen how that works. 
B: No. It's more like you go to the TSP and connect with your soul team and work together to develop a plan for your next shared life time.
S: I can't just do what I want?

B: Well, theoretically you could. But then you don't have any control over who will surround you and what roles they have elected to play.
S: If I'm a Chinese billionaire I won't care who surrounds me. 
B: You don't start out as a billionaire. You start out as a baby. It's like a game You can choose how it starts but you have only limited control over how it proceeds.
S: Can i choose to be born to rich parents who love me and support my ambitions.?
B: Sure. But they might die. Or you might be kidnapped and sold for a sex slave. Or you might live a charmed life and then be assassinated the day you make your first billion.
S: I'll hire body guards. 
B: One of them might kill you. 
S: Man that sucks.
B: See, one of the reasons we do 3D lives is that we like the unpredictability.
S: I don't. 
B: You're not seeing the big picture. But you will when you get back to the TSP. 
S: What's that?

B: It's the Timeless Spaceless Place. That's where creation happens and all the infinite possibilities are happening at once.
S: Oh. So working with a team is better. 
B: Yes it is. Although sometimes you might wonder what you were thinking.
S: Like how?
(Ben gives a brief description of his life being rich and famous and bisexual at a time when his fame and the people he worked with demanded that he keep his sexuality in the closet.)
S: What did you do wrong?
B: If you mean what didn't I consider when making our plan, probably the historical era. If we had started 20 or 30 years later the world might have been more okay with my sexuality. But even if I had considered that, there are always wild cards in the deck.
S: Why do we do it?
B: I don't know. Did you like anything about your life? 
S: Surfing. I'm a professor of linguistics at UC by-the-sea. And I'm hot. And the girls are crazy about me. 
B: Ask me again why we do this.
S: Ha! It's fun, isn't it!

    I'm Donya.  I help Ben tell his story.  Wake-up pages visitors come to me when I am doing my morning writing.  They are usually people who are stuck in the Gray Space and need help crossing over.  They talk to Ben about what they want to do in their next lives.
