Awakening of the Spirit(Medium Mrs. Costel)
When the individual leaves behind his mortal remains, he is taken
by such fear and astonishment that it makes him uncertain about
his actual state; he does not know if is dead or alive, and it takes long for
his very confused sensations to clear up. The spirit’s eyes are progressively
amazed by the many clarities around him, leading him to a new order of
things, great and unknown that he can hardly understand in the beginning
but soon recognizes that he is nothing more than an intangible and
immaterial creature; he seeks his vestiges, and surprise, he does not find
them; some time goes by before he recovers the memory of his past, then
convinced of his identity. He looks back to Earth and sees his crying relatives
and friends and his inert body. The eyes finally leave Earth and seek
the skies. If the will of God no longer keeps him attached to the soil, he
then rises slowly and feels his body floating in space, a marvelous sensation.
Then, the memory of the life he has just left behind comes with this
sometimes devastating, other times consoling clarity. I speak about what
I felt, and I am not a bad spirit but I don’t occupy an elevated position,
unfortunately. We get rid of every earthly prejudice. Truth shines with
full intensity. Nothing mitigates our faults. Nothing hides the virtues. We see our own souls as clearly as before a mirror. We seek familiar spirits because
isolation is frightening, but others go by and they don’t stop. There
are no affectionate relationships among errant spirits; even those who
loved one another don’t exchange expressions of love; those misty forms
slide and move on. Loving exchanges are reserved to the superior spirits in
their interactions. As for ourselves, our transient state is only good for our
advancement, and nothing should distract us from that path. The only
communications allowed to us are with the humans because it is mutually
useful, and prescribed by God. The bad spirits also contribute to human
betterment: they serve through the trials; those who resist conquer merits.
The spirits who guide people are rewarded by a substantial extenuation of
their penalties. The errant spirits don’t suffer for the absence of communication
among them for they know that they will meet again. Hence, their
devotion is amplified so that the object of their affection is brought back
to them, at the end of their trials, affections which cannot be expressed
but which remain dormant. Not one bond established on Earth is broken;
our sympathies will be reestablished in the order of their existence, more
or less vividly, according to their intensity or intimacy.
