spirit co-operation - ‘During Sleep’
Oct/31/2009 08:17
During my friend Bear’s LBL session, he mentioned an intriguing fact:
“I escort people to the spirit world when sleeping, occasionally. People that have died... they are frightened and disoriented. You wrap... encapsulate them, encircle them... I get the person to their home group, and find their spirit guide.”
I’d always wondered about this. Can some part of a person’s soul really cruise around while they’re sleeping and perform such duties?
Last week I found an old book at my local library sale - only 50 cents! - called “During Sleep.” Written by Robert Crookall, B.Sc., D.Sc., Ph.D., dated 1974, the volume contains numerous accounts of 'co-operation' between the living and the dead during sleep. Dr. Crookall tells of 'co-operation' in several categories including 'co-operation' that helps other mortals, 'co-operation' that helps the dying, 'co-operation' that helps the newly dead, and 'co-operation' that helps the earthbound.
Excerpts from "During Sleep"
'Co-operation' that helps other mortals
Mrs. Clara Clayton, of Nottingham, stated, “I had gone to bed but not fallen asleep, and felt myself slipping out. I found myself with a mother and her babe. They were in bed. A state of distress showed in her aura and I became aware that she was calling for her husband. I soothed her until she ceased to weep, and then soothed her to sleep... Almost at once I saw the ‘sea;’ this ‘sea’ was the Astral world, the world of emotion. I saw one coming across the ‘sea’ and realized it was the husband. I assisted the mother to leave her physical body and she stood beside me in her Astral body and became aware of me. With a great cry, she saw her husband. They embraced and the happiness glowed through them... She would wake out of that ‘dream,’ as she would call it, and remember having seen her husband. This might be enough to stop her grieving -- her dream would have been very vivid and so would be stamped in her memory..."
'Co-operation' that helps the dying
Mrs. Clayton stated, “I had only just closed my eyes and had slipped out of my body and found myself, with others, waiting for the passing of a soul, first that of a lady and second a little boy. We soothed them and waited for the process of dying to come to an end, and we bore them to their spiritual abode to rest awhile. The mourners did not see us, but both the lady and the boy became aware of us and they lost the fear of death.”
'Co-operation' that helps the newly dead
Miss Hillier, of Croyden, said that, during sleep, she finds herself where people have just been killed in some disaster. She stated, “I lead them to their relatives... later I read of such a disaster in the newspapers. I cannot explain why I am called upon to do this work.”
'Co-operation' that helps the earthbound
Mrs. Clara Clayton, of Nottingham, said, “I was with a companion that night and I knew we were both functioning out-of-the-body and our mission was known to us. We glided downwards... our destination was reached -- a dark cavern in and out of which souls were passing, each apparently unaware of the other. They appeared dark, cold, and miserable. Suddenly I became aware of one coming out who was completely isolated. We knew our task was with him. We each took an arm and lifted him up. He began to weep, and, as he wept, his ‘garment’ grew lighter; then he became conscious of us and smiled. We rose together, he being supported by us. We reached the top of a hill where a great assembly had gathered to greet this soul...”
H.A. Curtis and Dr. F. H. Curtis (Realms of the Living Dead, 1917, p. 61) spoke of people who died strongly believing there is no after-life and who therefore slept for an unduly long time after death and were difficult to awaken. They said, “This, among many other tasks, is the work assigned to those students who, during sleep on earth, have asked to be put to work in the astral world. Many of us would be surprised could we remember all tasks performed during sleep.”
