Being Open

I have tried to tell my mother that in order to talk to her dead lover she must be open. When she asked how I could not tell her.

Being open is simply a state of being. You must recognize signs from God for what they are. You must be willing to see them. You can, of course, put bounderies on this. For example, I do not want to see the dead. I never have. I do hear them, and see shadows in my mind's eye. They also only come during the day.

Meditation and relaxation are good ways to practice being open. However, the best way is to simply state that you will and to keep an open mind. This has led me, and many I know, to being open a good portion of the time.

I strive for a peace in my soul. Being open is one way to acheive that peace. It is something I hope for my mother. I know she needs that peace within her life. But it is not something I can give her. She must find it on her own as each of us do. Our Paths are our own.
