Good morning. This is Ernie Pyle. I am very happy to be the first one to contribute to your blog. And so I want to tell you a little bit about what is happening over here with the service men and women who were killed in the various wars. Since I first came over in 1945, I have tried to work with some of the soldiers who were killed in WWII. You know, some of them are still having a very difficult time adjusting to being pulled into a war. They feel great guilt about having killed someone. On the other hand, being killed themselves is almost like it’s balancing that out.
Now, I want to move to the current situation, which is totally different than WWII because the war in Iraq was not necessary. We all know from this side of life that it was not necessary. And that is why it makes it so difficult for those who were killed to accept what happened to them. Many left young wives and children, and they hopelessly watch how they are managing without them, especially those without adequate financial assistance.
So I am going to take the story of David, a young Jewish boy who was in the National Guards. He had joined because he felt a duty to serve his country in case of war, or some other emergency. But he also received a little extra money for this service and that was a help with his education. He was only 20 when called into active service.
He was born late in the life of his parents and was their only child. So they were very disturbed when he was called into active service. Being very close to them, he was upset about their being so upset. He tried very hard, as many of the brave service men and women do, to not reveal the danger he was in. And so he would send them frequent letters saying that he was just fine, that he enjoyed being with his buddies, and they were doing a good job in Iraq, and it looked like things would be really ending very soon. He gave them such encouragement, but the truth was, he was on missions where he was not really protected. And the insurgents shot him.
When he woke up on this side of life and was told that he was dead, but now he was really alive, his very first thoughts were those of his parents and how they would receive the news. He knew that it would devastate them. They had not wanted him to serve in the National Guard in the first place. Things were so peaceful for so long that David assured them the chances were great that nothing would happen to him, and that he would serve out his time and not sign up again. But, of course, Mr. Bush had other ideas. And from this side of life, we knew early on that Mr. Bush would try to get back at Saddam Hussein in order to vindicate his father, President George H. Bush.
David’s first impressions of the spirit world really woke him up. He had been taught very differently about what this world was like, and so it was a great adventure. But all the while he was torn when he thought of his parents. His spirit guides taught him to go back to visit them and to try to make them understand. As he got stronger energy-wise, he was able to do a few things to grab their attention.
One day his mother was reading a letter from a relative and he was able to take it out of her hand and it dropped on the floor. She wondered how that had happened. She thought she was losing control of her fingers. She picked up the letter and again started reading, and once again David was able, with the help of his Indian spirit guides, to take it out of her hand so that it dropped on the floor, Then she started thinking, "I don’t think this is a coincidence. It is strange." A day passed and his mother thought no more about it. Then his father was reading a letter, and David took the letter out of his hand and it dropped to the floor. His father said, "I wonder if I fell asleep to have drop this." David’s mother was present when this happened. She said to him, "I had that happen to me twice yesterday." His father then commented that he believed it was a signal from David.
His mother reminded his father, "You know, we don’t believe in such things." But his father insisted, "I do believe it is a signal from David, and I’m going to hold tight to this and call out. ‘David, if you are there, will you make this letter fall out of my hand?’"
Immediately, the letter fell to the floor. So they knew that David was alive in another dimension. And they went to their rabbi and asked him if this could be so. Now, the rabbi had been taught that happenings of this nature were questionable. However, he had several experiences after his wife had passed to spirit when his reading lamp would flicker and dim and he would immediately think about her.
The rabbi did not teach or preach phenomena though he rather secretly accepted it. He told David’s parents, "If you believe it is so, then to you it is so." That was a turning point for his parents. David learned to do other things, and gradually he became strong enough, energy-wise, to do things without the help of his Indian guides. He did flicker the reading lamp and open the door. So this eased his parents’ grieving over losing their only son. And it helped David, too, to feel at peace that his parents would accept that he was alive. David wishes that all parents who have lost a son or daughter would believe because they are very much alive in a world that is very highly structured actually, but where there is also much freedom. It is the real world. The earth is like a school where we are to learn to become more spiritual.
