I AM the Witness
A Sacred and Holy Experience
in the Hour of My Mother’s Death
Dear Chelas on the Path,
I would like to share with you the experience I had at the time of my mother’s sudden passing from the screen of life on earth.
It was Saturday, April 16, 1994, when I called my mom in the hospital from a pay phone at the airport. I was on my way to a seminar in Seattle. My mom had cancer and had been in the hospital for nine days. Her spleen was now enlarged and she was anemic. At the time when I called, she was being given oxygen and could not speak. I was concerned that her condition was worsening. I decided I would call back once I reached my destination.
But as I returned to my seat in the waiting area at the gate, I felt torn about what I should do. Should I try to change my flight and go to New Orleans to be with my mom or continue on to Seattle? I felt my Christ Self was now directing me to sit down and read my Pearl of Wisdom and get myself centered. Suddenly I felt a comforting presence in, through and around me. My inner voice said: “Continue on to your destination. She must pass through this initiation on her own and you must move on with your plans.”
As the plane landed in Seattle, I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness that my mom was leaving this octave and that I had not talked to her. I tried calling her hospital room, but there was no answer. Later that evening I received a phone call with the news of her passing.
Many hours passed and I was about to retire. I suddenly realized that it might be possible to contact the Messenger by phone to inform her of my mom’s sudden passing and of my need to extend my time away from the ranch. I would need to go to New Orleans after the seminar to attend the memorial service and take care of my mother’s estate.
I was able to reach Mother right away. As she comforted me, she also instructed me to make sure that my mother was dressed in white prior to her cremation. She said that even though my mother might not be making her ascension, she would still be graduating to another plane. She also instructed me to see my mother before she was cremated and to instruct her to go with the angels. She said that my mother would possibly make it to the kindergarten of the etheric octave, but she was not sure and she would make the calls for her.
My husband and I flew out to New Orleans in time to arrive at the crematorium hours before my mom’s cremation was scheduled so that we could be with her and make calls for her. The building was old and dark. The attendant took us to the room where she lay and then left us alone.
I felt a fear overcome me, thinking I did not know how to speak to her or how to approach her. I motioned to my husband for us to quickly leave the room, for I had to center myself. I then took a deep breath and asked Lanello to walk into the room before me. I took my husband’s hand as we walked closer to her body.
I suddenly felt such an overwhelming presence of divine love between her heart and my heart and the heart of God and the angels tending her. Suddenly the room was filled with a pulsating light. A warmth filled my heart and I knew her soul was ever present in spirit. I told her I was safe with my husband, that he would take care of me and that she must go with the angels who were presently tending her. I prayed for her soul to receive the angels and Archangel Michael, and we bowed our heads to the light within her and left.
My husband and I went to the chapel to give Ashram rituals, devotional decrees and invocations for her soul to receive the angels and to go to her assigned destination. An hour or more later we felt the peace in our hearts that she was ready, and we asked the attendant for her body to be cremated.
After the cremation ceremony, friends and family went to eat lunch together at a restaurant where my mom used to eat quite often. The waitress seated us at a round table, where all six of us sat, and there was one empty seat. The waitress came back to the table and asked with a puzzled face, “Didn’t you have a child with you also?” (There was no child anywhere in the restaurant at that time.) A few of us smiled across the table. We knew it was my mom’s soul, for she was very childlike in spirit.
I am so grateful to Mother for all the guidance and teachings that made this experience a very sacred and holy one. I am so grateful to have the Masters and these teachings available to help us with every challenge that we need to face and overcome, with grace at our side.
Sincerely in Love,
