wave from the other side

[NJCher]

For some time now my students have been freely sharing stories about visits from loved ones from the other side, UFO sightings, etc. I do not say one word about these things in class but for whatever reason, they feel comfortable in sharing this type of information with not only me but quite often, everyone else in the class.

Possibly one reason is that I have a new way of choosing class projects. I tell them their project can be about the one question that has never been satisfactorily resolved for them. Usually those questions are about things like ETs or life after death. They write papers on this topic, research it, make multimedia presentations, web pages, etc. This is the case in some classes, but not all.

So I started a new class this week and it's full of female artists. Yes! Love that. Almost everyone in the class is an artist, female, independent, living alone in a home they have created themselves. What a cool group of people. I am teaching them computer programming languages of the web.

After class my student told this story:

Her mother had gone into the hospital for an operation. As she was taken in the gurney to the operating room, my student gave her mother a little wave. It was a finger wave, where the fingers just kind of flutter, not a hand wave.

The mother never came out of the operating room. She died during the operation.

Days later, my student was sitting in her living room--the same room where she and her mother had watched many a TV program. My student heard the mother's recliner make a noise and then she looked at the recliner. There was her mother! She appeared for only a second but in that short time, she received back the same type of fluttering finger wave she had given as her mother left for the operating room.

1. I wish I knew how things work....

But I'm admittedly part of the "I Know Nothing" crowd. ;)

I say that because I'm hearing more and more stories like this one (which is VERY cool, btw). I hope that comforted your student. :)

When it happens shortly after the person's passing, I can "get" it. When it happens many years after the passing, I wonder why the person hasn't passed over...wherever "over" is?

Or maybe time is so different that it IS mere moments after their earthly life that we're experiencing these encounters?

Or maybe the dimensions are truly fluid and we all have the ability to move between them, more and more of late?

Thanks for sharing this. :)

5. I've heard from a few sources

That crossing over is a very gradual thing and for a couple weeks after the "death," the person can get across a message to loved ones here. We hear so much of this kind of thing that this seems true.

My two cents worth is they get help in getting their message across. The reason I think this is that they seem to do this so effectively and quickly. For example, when my friend Gini crossed over, I got a message the very next day. It was witty, on point, and could only have been from her.

Many on this forum will remember the Ernesto storm pics I posted and that Cleita helped me see was a cat. In that photo was my cat (who had crossed over three weeks earlier), but there was also a larger cat that I did not know. I think that large cat showed Bitsey (and later, I discovered, Mitzi) how to come across to me.

Another source says that a few important persons who have crossed over have dictated books through mediums. I would like to get these books. Also, this same source says that Carl Jung conveyed that he wished people would stop trying to contact him. He said that when we try to contact them, it pulls their energy away from their projects they are working on "over there."

3. Thank you

for allowing this student to share with you and then passing it on to us. Needed to read this.

4. Nice!!

What a great visit. I hope that was comforting for your student to experience.

And huzzah to you, Cher, for giving your students an outlet for this sort of thing. In my experience, many people are hungry for information on "the unexplained", but they're afraid to talk about it in the real world. So yay you for giving them a safe haven to discuss these things without judgment. :toast:

6. This is so cool, NJCher!

I'm sure that was a wonderful comfort to her.

I agree with MorningGlow that it's wonderful that you are giving them an outlet to share and discuss these things. I agree with the "first few weeks" theory. My son started "talking" to me (I "heard" him in my head) the moment I found out about his death, and also, lots of other weird things happened (several phone calls where "no one" was there, but the line was very static-y) in the first few weeks. He still stays in touch and anytime I want him or ask him something, he's there, but not with the same force of physical energy I sensed in the beginning.

7. IS there an "other side"

or are we simply unable/unwilling to note that which is around us? And will we have a choice as the veil continues to lift?

8. some cultures

have a more holistic view than we do. They think of the invisible world as a part of the world. We tend to divide our world into the visible and the invisible, with the latter having significantly less credibility than the former.

BTW, I learned that from a student who did a paper on how other cultures view dreams.

9. Yes, dreams are real, at that level, in that realm, which is not so far from the physical.

And we chastize children for having active imaginations...ouch..
