Sands of Time

Back in 1999 when our daughter, Denise, had been hospitalized with her stroke, coma, and three day NDE, I had an experience we’ve written about before where I watched a movie before heading up to the hospital. At the end of the movie I expressed extreme gratitude for ALL things, especially a daughter that had been medically guaranteed to die and was now alive. I went off and had a profound experience floating somewhere in God’s love, not wanting to ever come back. I was told to go back and did. Upon arriving at the hospital to spend the night with Denise I could feel the pain of every kid I passed on the way to her room. It filled me up as I experienced their pain, suffering, fears, and so much more. I had no idea what was going on, but knew I was in deep trouble. This was not something I was familiar with and knew it was causing my physical and spiritual bodies’ problems.

Once in the room I called a friend because as I told my wife the pain of all these children in that hospital was filling me up and I knew it wasn’t good for my system. Once I got my friend on the phone and told him what was going on he declared I was “in the rest.” What he meant was that I had become empathic, or now had the ability to feel the pain of others and to take it. This was something that had never crossed my mind was possible. Yet I knew what he said was true as I was living it, breathing it, and feeling it. He told me to imagine a trap door at my feet, express gratitude for the experience, and then to ask the Savior to take all of it away as I imagined the trap door opening. I did what he described to me and all of the pain and suffering that had filled me up whooshed out of me and I was okay again.

Some months later I would take this man’s congestive heart disease and nearly die from it until I learned to express gratitude for the experience and ask the Savior to take it from me. But again, that story is written in our books.

My point is we have the ability as mortals to take the pain and suffering of other people. Those that do this on a regular basis are called empaths. We have met many empaths over the years and most are quite messed up. The reason for this I believe is because like I didn’t, they have no idea how to give it to the Savior. Also we have found from talking to them that most are genuinely wonderful people and can’t stand to see others suffer, no matter what the suffering is. They willingly take that pain away from others. This can be a huge problem because they have no right to do so unless directed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes pain and suffering are part of a person’s life experience and are required for their growth and understanding. If that is taken away, so is the lesson. For doing so, an empath will suffer consequences other than just the persons pain. But all of this is for another time.

Empathic people make great observers for ancestral healing. There are times when a person comes for a blessing or casting off and while voicing the blessing it is realized they are dealing with ancestral/generational issues. Personally I dealt with generational anger issues as a result of a white man raping my First Nation Grandmother and conceiving my father. He was given up for adoption because in the 1920’s not many wanted to raise a “half-breed.” After two years in the orphanage he was adopted by the Mendenhall’s because his soon to be adoptive mother felt sorry for the sick, scrawny, dark-skinned little boy. The anger of what happened to his birth mother was imprinted on him. My brothers used this anger to excel in sports. Several played football because it was a legal way to try and kill or maim someone. (Their words, not mine.) A generational healing was pursued to get rid of this issue and it worked. When someone comes and we are told they really need generational help, we will let them know. If it is something they want help with we will pray and see if the Lord Jesus Christ will allow us to help with the problem.

These things can be done by yourself along with the Savior. I related such an experience in our book I See….Arise! where I helped my father through some issues he still had after he had transitioned. Part of it is recounted below:

“All of his trauma hit me like a ton of bricks. I never knew it had been so hard and had damaged him like this. I felt all the emotions my father had gone through, the complete feelings of helplessness and utter despair because he didn’t do what he had been accused of. His emotions, pain, and suffering was affecting me tremendously. The rest of the night I was a walking zombie as I tried to ignore what I was feeling. When I prayed before bedtime, I asked if my earthly father still needed to get rid of these traumatic emotions from this incident. The answer was yes. I now realized that he had been gone for over twenty-four years and had continued suffering all this time. So I lay in bed and asked the Savior to be there, which He was. I asked my father to come, and he did and even used a nickname he had given me, when he greeted me. I asked him for permission to be his proxy in a healing session. He granted it.

The first thing I did was ask my earthly father to stand at my head as I lay there on the bed. Then I asked the Lord Jesus Christ, the True Healer, to take my master gene helix out of my chest and untwist it. I then asked that He allow the master gene helix of my earthly father to come out of his chest, untwist and ‘float’ to be next to mine. This was accomplished. At this point I asked the Lord to replace all broken or damaged gene parts in my father’s strand, and to repair his helix. I then asked the Lord to allow me to take into myself all my father’s pains, sufferings, and any other negative feelings associated with this incident and then to let them pass onto Him. I asked Him to transmute that dark, painful energy into light and let it go. He did. After all this was done everything was resolved, and I went to sleep completely exhausted.” (P. 240-1)

The “Further Knowledge” section of the book further explains:

“Often we are taught by ignorant or evil-intentioned clergy that when we leave this mortal existence we go to ‘heaven’ or the spirit realm, and leave all cares and problems behind. All that happens is the mortal body is dropped; everything else goes along. The full personality, habits, thought patterns, and many of the deep, unresolved, issues remain intact. The passing into the heavenly plane does not automatically resolve us of the former mental and emotional pain from mortality. Granted, much is relieved such as the constant pressure to do as the world demands. However, the old habits and events which affected us to the core of our being while in mortality will still affect us after we leave this earth…..Unfortunately, both the attitudes and deep seated beliefs are passed on to mortal family members by either genetics or teaching, both of which have exceptionally long lasting effects because severe emotional or physical traumatic events damage our genes.” (P. 241, emphasis added)

Because of His Atoning sacrifice, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the only one that can transmute the pain, suffering, and every other negative thing associated with an individual’s problems into light. We as mortals don’t have the ability, we are not like Him in that regard. But when helping our ancestors He allows us to be part of the process and it involves the gift of being an empath, such as was just described with my father. I asked for the Lord Jesus Christ to come, my mortal father to come, and then asked permission for the event to take place with me acting as proxy. The Lord Jesus Christ repaired his damaged gene parts and helix. The last part of what was done involved my gift of being empathic which allowed me to bring into myself all of my father’s pain, trauma, emotions, and such of an event he was still struggling to overcome.

Could my mortal father not have accomplished this himself in the world of spirits or paradise as we call it? Why would it make any difference if a mortal of his gene pool helped him? Is that important? Does it make it easier? By doing this do we get to “participate” with our Savior in restoring, elevating, and clearing our God’s children? Does this give us a very small inkling of what being a Savior on Mt Zion might be like, helping our family with their problems they went to the grave with? And I thought that doing my four generation sheet and having their temple work done was enough! Ha. Is there a reason we are commanded to keep journals? What if you read of your third great grandmother and her struggles and problems? Might she still be struggling with clearing all of that?

The reason why a mortal body is of such a huge help by my sighted friend:

“The mortal body enables the spirit to not only learn far more quickly but also enhances the ability to either overcome weaknesses or to progress. The body functions similar to a condenser (a type of battery) whereby negative or positive energies are condensed into a much more powerful, collected charge that can be directed by the will of the spirit. The same energies in a scattered, diluted form are far more difficult to impossible to control or even to be made use of.”

“The idea was given as a large heap of sand of every color of the spectrum. The hard part is to separate each grain of sand and put them into categorized little piles or containers. When that heap of sand is about 10 times larger than the person, it is going to take a very long time to sort it all out. Even spirits have to take breaks from their work. So, do not think they just slave away 24/7/365 without a break. Yes, eventually the work is done, but for the spirit person each grain of sand must be examined, judged as to the type, color, and chemical content then a decision has to be made where the grain belongs. For all people of the lower light and dark realms, the mental acuity is much dampened. It can and does take a very long time. The physical body is like a machine or a hopper that all the sand can be poured into. The body (machine or hopper) will then sort out each grain within microseconds, placing everything into a condensed form for far easier handling.” (P. 252-3)

The genetic link between my mortal father and myself greatly facilitated the transfer of his pain and distress. Then as my friend shared above, my body was able to sort out and condense all of the negative elements and transfer them directly to the Savior who then transmuted all of it to light. My friend shared that “the only way such a healing can occur is if the mortal proxy is completely willing to take the pain or negativism then give it to the Savior.” All of the pain, distress, and negativism is seen as darkness when looked at spiritually. After having this ancestral healing the person can then progress further along his/her journey. “Hence the necessity for a mortal proxy to assist in the enhanced progression of immortal spirit ancestors.”

As you can see, many empathic mortals are already doing much of this work. Only they haven’t had direction on how to use their gift. If anything is read from worldly sources, the Savior seems to be left out of the equation. Sadly, not much work of a true nature can be performed. An empath may take someone’s “junk” and make the person feel better for a while, but habits are still there and it will come back. Repentance has not been broached and no mention of the Savior enters their world view. ONLY He can transmute darkness into light, only He paid the price at Gethsemane, only He is our Savior and true Lord. But most of what the world teaches is on a mortal scale.

I think we all have much to do. Well, unless you have no parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great great-grandparents……….

There is more to discuss about what and how some of a “religious” or spiritual nature accomplish an ancestral healing. We need to look at that and then compare it to what we have been shown by our Savior, so we will continue later.
