I loved this story about momo! It really made me feel as though I could actually picture & feel what Guy was experiencing. Yes would love to read a full length book about his life. I was disappointed or let down at the end, because I wanted to read more! Anyway Happy Holidays to u & Melissa & best wishes for the new year.
Wow… what a wonderful and powerful story! Even though it is a fictional account involving death, spirits, and the afterlife it is well written and I’m sure intuitively and divinely influenced. It is also validating in a sense as it accurately captures some of the experiences I’ve had with my clients during spiritual hypnosis sessions.
Thank you,
May You Always Walk in and be Guided By Light and Love
Hi Randy! Thank you for writing. I do believe it was intuitively and divinely influenced, yes. It's nice to hear that it resonates with your regression work. I had the "wheel and spiral" experience during my own between-lives regression. As I wrote to Bruce in these comments, "I had a life-between-lives regression where I met a group of spirits who called themselves the Council of Elders. To this day, I have never felt so much love." The unconditional love and kindness I received from these beings of light was an experience I have never forgotten. I wish everyone could use your services to know what this feels like. Happy holidays, Bob!
I usually am not a reader and I don’t read more than 2 minutes a day. All I will say is, I could not stop reading until it ended and then I was looking for the continuation of the story and was saddened to find out that there wasn’t one.
I loved the part where Guy changed the color of his son’s aura by comforting him with LOVE.
Such a great story - loved how it was touching, funny, and comforting (your wit is a gift). I do hope you continue the story. Now that we're in the process of losing our dad, who is in hospice, I appreciate the divine timing of this email. Love you, Bob 💝
Thanks for taking the time, Cheryl, to comment. My next article (tomorrow) is dedicated to your father-in-law. Here if you need me, dear friend. I love you.
I love this story, Bob, and I hope you continue it in a book. I have commented on here about how my 17 yr old son died by suicide (22 yrs ago). The day after I found him, as I got up from bed, I heard my son’s voice say, “I wish I hadn’t done it, now”. Clear as a bell. I believe my son was feeling my grief as well as the many who loved him. Since then, I have heard from mediums (and I believe this) that we had a contract to experience his suicide. This format is too short to cover that, but I would like to see life plans covered in the book. It takes a while to grasp the bigger picture.
On another note, I am glad you touched on how suicide can run in families (because there is an “unspoken permission” in the experience). I’ve met a lot of suicide survivors where this has been the case. For example, I know someone whose father took his life in the late 60’s; then, in the late 1990’s his mother took her life (mirroring the dad’s method in every detail); several years after the mother, his sister took her life. It is sad and terrifying.
I was touched by this story and think it would help a lot of people. Thanks!
Hi Mary, thank you for being the one person who has commented with experience as a suicide loss survivor. I assume you know that I recently wrote about "Potentials," which relates to what you said about pre-birth plans: "Since then, I have heard from mediums (and I believe this) that we had a contract to experience his suicide." I will link to that article on POTENTIALS below if you or anyone else reading this hasn't read it.
I'll also link to my article about suicide and the afterlife, as well as an old video I created on the subject. It's an old video, which is why I made the didn't-know-better error of using the taboo phrase "committed suicide." Still, I forgave myself for that ignorance and left the video up because it has helped so many people. A brief look at the comments below the video is evidence of that. The video has had 453,000 views, indicating the need for more discussion on this topic.
As you can see from the Momo story and this linked content, I have a special place in my heart for those dealing with suicide loss. I spent the first 30 years of my life plagued by frequent suicidal ideation, especially during a chronic depression in the late 80s and early 90s. And, at the worst point in my experience with chronic depression, Melissa often wondered if she might come home from work one day to discover I had lost the battle. I'm so grateful I didn't succumb to the temptation of escape.
Consequently, in addition to my insight into the afterlife, my experience with my mind taunting me to take my life in those early years can help suicide loss survivors understand the many questions that plague loved ones who know this type of loss. We never know what was really going on in the minds of people who took their lives, but my experience can at least offer some insightful perspectives. Add that to the afterlife knowledge and we come at this subject from two helpful directions.
I've always wanted to create something more in-depth to help people who need it in this way, and your comment on the Momo story has encouraged me to put that on my to-do list. Thanks for all your comments, Mary. Here are the links I promised.
Bob, just WOW! I cried through about half of this story; it was very powerful (and yes, I laughed too). I did find it helpful, and it adroitly conveyed a lot of ideas in a short span. Some of it was new or different to me - like love lightening auras, and how the 'life review' may work compared to just 'let's explore your past'. Really great stuff.
I want to share one thing, too, about your description of this scene:
"From an outer perspective, Guy appeared to be the hub of a wheel, and every cord of light was a spoke. He glowed a luminous gold with a brilliant aura that expanded miles in every direction. His entire body quivered as he absorbed the love, joy, and acceptance his loved ones sent him."
I've previously led a spirit circle, but where the focus was on messages from guides, not passed loved ones. A few years ago (pre-pandemic), I had a vision incredibly similar to what you described. I was sitting on a plain, and surrounded by a circle of spirits a couple yards from me sending me energy and love. In the vision, it was not as potent as what Guy experienced, but the similarity is very striking... and I've never heard of it in any literature until you. And a bit like Guy, I was self-conscious, feeling I was 'elevating' myself in the vision, since, sitting in the center of the circle, I was literally the focus of their attention, and there were many of them. However, your handling of it makes me feel more comfortable and accepting. Thank you for that.
I do feel there is a lot of potential in this to expand, and a lot can be shared and taught that way. Thank you even for what you have done already... if you decide to stop here, it's still a huge thing of love and delight.
Thank you, Bruce. One of my three editors pointed out her love of that passage of the wheel and the spokes. I'm not a channeler, but I often feel that someone is writing through me. Your experience validates this visual as much as any evidence I have uncovered. Your experience in the spirit circle was not unlike one I had in a life-between-lives regression where I met a group of spirits who called themselves the Council of Elders. To this day, I have never felt so much love.
This piece was written years ago, and I only found it in my documents recently. It's not uncommon that I find these unfinished beginnings to books. I read this one, and it felt like it was ready to be shared. I liked it so much, in fact, that I decided to ask for feedback, wondering if it was just me who liked it. Even from the comments here, I believe I was onto something that needs to be completed. I appreciate, as always, you pointing out what spoke to you and why.
What resonated with me? Well, losing my father when I was 12 years old I found myself identifying with the son in your story. Being drawn back to the church, the casket, and all the people there...it was an intensely overwhelming experience as I sat in silence. Did I feel my father was there? No, but that doesn't mean he wasn't. I also felt emotional when the father could feel his son's sadness. I could see images of my son and wife being sad if I were to pass. I know that we will all go through the passing of loved ones and also our own passing. I remember how I felt when I held my newborn son for the first time. I felt an incredible amount of happiness but also a sense of sadness. I knew that at some point in his life he will experience the sadness I did when my father passed away. He has a beautiful baby boy of his own now and I see the continuation of being born and passing away. It's hard not to think of it all...at least for me.
Do you continue the story with Guy and Momo...how do you not? Knowing how your stories touch humanity, be not guided by us...but by your heart and where it takes you is where you should be.
Thank you, Christian. I always love how deeply and willingly you share. I'm often fascinated by how the experiences of our youth seem to be endlessly running in the background of our psyches. Clearly, the loss of your dad at age twelve competed with the joy of your own son's birth, feeling joy for his new life while also feeling sadness that he would one day mourn your passing (as you had mourned your father's). Yet here you are with three generations in your midst. I wish more men were as aware of the inner workings of their psyches as you are. Thank you for sharing. You, your son, your grandson, and even your father will be in my mind this holiday season.

I was disappointed or let down at the end, because I wanted to read more! Anyway Happy Holidays to u & Melissa & best wishes for the new year.
I would LOVE if this were a full novel. Very moving and easy to follow.
Thank you, Ben! I really appreciate you letting me know. Happy holidays!
I am honored.
Thank you for being yourself. It is inspiring!!!
