The Way We Are

The concepts of “mother,” “father,” “daughter,” “son,” are physical, earth-based ones. When a spirit transitions from the physical to the next vibration, the family-member designations continue for approximately one year, although the discarnate spirit recognizes early on a difference in the relationship. It becomes one that is actually closer, without labels.

Labels divide and they can create the illusory idea of being separate, and separate beings define themselves by rules of individuality. In spirit, everyone realizes each is truly part of a larger community.

I still call dad “dad,” but I also see him as a spirit pursuing a continuation of his reality in which there is a memory of a father/daughter relationship, but in reality, we are both spirits, connected, though I am incarnate and he is discarnate. While we recognize an earlier bonding, we celebrate a new level of interaction.

In what we perceive as the future, the relationships that people once had on earth shift as we seek to fulfill experiential needs. We have different relationships with people both through reincarnation and in spirit. In another physical lifetime, I might become (or might have been) my aunt’s daughter, or my father’s sister. Souls reincarnate in soul clusters---groups of people who are bonded together within the larger whole.

Those who transition continue to be family members, but they are also a part of the larger family, as are we all.
