Life & Death, & What's Behind It All

A talk, meditation and spoken word piece on Life, Death and your Soul, and What's Behind it All. I talk about why so many are leaving this plane of existence and how we can understand and connect with our soul to learn to be aware of what is really going on.

Aloha, I am Reverend Cindy Palos and I thought I'd talk about something that hits pretty close to home for me today about the passing, The transition about what happens when you leave your body behind. I've lost so many friends and loved ones over the years and just a couple of days ago my older sister passed on and of course this is something I've studied. I've written a book about it called Blessings, Angel Blessings, Messages from Heaven and also a CD on it and I've meditated on it quite a bit, Written many many many words and messages about this and yet it's always different of course in every situation and it's different with everyone that you know in different ways of their passing. There isn't one size fits all in transitions because it involves also karma and whatever relationship you have with the person. In this case my sister and I had been extremely close growing up, Did everything together and then as I became a teenager I went into radio and rock and roll and she became more classically oriented and more conservative and I was the more liberal one. And I remember just today that we had been playing, I love going to Self-Realization Fellowship and our mother took us there when we were both pretty young. I think we maybe have been seven or eight years old and we've been running around the lake shrine area there and one of the teachers, He was in robes, I remember him still, A very wise man came out of one of the meditation rooms and saw us and said, Ah one of you is going to be very quiet and withdrawn and the other one is going to be very outgoing and talkative. I knew exactly, I was going to be the one that's very talkative. My sister was a classical flautist and she was much more quiet and withdrawn so how does someone know when you're seven or eight about those things, Someone who's never met you before, Right? But it's interesting how in life sometimes we do all have a destiny and we have a karmic circle, A karmic wheel and how perfectly we all play out our roles for certain reasons. Me being the more liberal one, I had many different beliefs from my sister, Was extremely conservative. So then you need to get along, Right? And so you just don't talk about different political points of view and still you have to understand and love them because you're related and you love that person, They're your sister. All of this is really part of us learning to love each other in spite of our different points of view and a lot of it's been reflections I've been having and this happens when you lose a loved one and I'm using the word lose and it's not really a correct word. I won't be able to talk to her on the phone. I live in Maui, She had lived in Houston. We talked on the phone every week or two but you know what, We can have conversations from spirit that are much deeper inside now and it's already starting and I'm already sensing things that she's communicating and this has been the way with many and that's why I wrote the book, Angel Blessings, Messages from Heaven. And we are seeing right now so many people who either through COVID-19 or cancer or other causes that are making transitions right now. I've never seen so many people passing on and I've had a few people ask me, Why do you think this is happening this year? What's going on? And I've meditated on it quite a bit and what I get is that there's this bridge from heaven to earth and we are getting an amazing amount of people who are doing work from the other side. There's an amazing force of energy that's working right over the bridge there and so it's bringing heaven more closely to earth in my opinion. I'm gonna read you a poem I wrote and I also will play you a new song that I wrote. This I wrote a few years back. If you were given angels wings so you could fly to heaven's shore, Would you fly with the wings of an angel or stay on this earth and pray to love it a little more? If you were offered the Holy Grail and you sipped from the nectar it holds, Would you seek to recreate its magic and sell it to others as a bliss that they should know? If you were lifted up to heaven and the glorious light of God, Would you stay there in the kingdom of love or return and whisper the secrets that you could tell? If enough of us knew the blessings that the angels all sing of and if there were a perch in heaven we could find that place and see above it all. If you really listen can you hear the angels sing and can you fly with angels wings and capture the magic that they bring? For their sweet sweet song can lead us to a way to merge with spirit there and find the wings to fly high above the earth and discover the miracle that it is to be here. But I'm not quite ready yet so I'll watch from the wings and sigh to meet them at our appointed time when it's time for me to fly. If you were given angels wings would you choose to stay or go or just recall the visitation of the angels and the blessings they bring to us all? And it's really a wonderful thing to explore the depths of the energy field of life and the changing aspects of life. Life changes. Life changes all the time and our energy fields are changing as the energy in the higher realms comes closer to earth. And we have to be aware and sensitive to these changes and you can do that in meditation. Let's take a moment and go into a state of awareness. Breathing deeply in, Holding for a few seconds and breathing deeply out. Breathing that light of heaven in, Holding it for three seconds. Let it go and breathing out and then let's breathe in the breath of gratitude for a couple of minutes because being grateful changes your energy field and immediately opens you up to your soul. Breathing in gratitude, Holding for three or four seconds and breathing gently out. Being grateful, So grateful for this life and your many blessings. Breathing it all the way out. Breathing in gratitude, Think of something you're grateful for and breathe that gratitude out to every single part and every single cell of your body. Feel your energy field changing as you bring in this energy of light and gratitude and love. Feel that energy and breathe that new energy in, Holding for a second or two and breathing it out ever so grateful for being here now. And now as you breathe in gratitude, Go into that sacred place of your soul inside. Go to that sacred, Silent dwelling place within and be still. Be still and know that you are God. Continuing to breathe and just be in the silence here for a couple of minutes. Aware of each breath. Aware of the light. Aware of the presence. Feel the unbelievably beautiful love that is present there inside you. Breathe in that love. Feel that peace filling you here in the sacred silence. And feel that presence of your soul expanding as you allow yourself to be fully present. Breathing it in and breathing it out. And follow the light of that soul from where that light comes. Just as the light rises at sunrise, What's behind the light that brings it light? What's behind the energy of your soul? Who are you really? And who will you be when you drop your body and let it go? Imagine now that you are just in your soul's present. That presence that is present right now that will be with you lifetime after lifetime after lifetime. Welcome that presence, That eternal presence from the eternal light behind the light. The love within the love. Embrace it as you embrace yourself and that love that you truly are and allow yourself to bring this heavenly essence of your true self into all parts of your body and your mind, Your emotions. Absorb it. Become it. Embrace it. Love it. You are a blessed child of God, A beloved one. Allow yourself to understand that gracious light and love of your soul within yourself. And know you can always have a deep relationship with your soul. It's always there. It's always present. It's always loving. And now slowly come out of meditation. And this is a piece I wrote with music behind me from Laura Sullivan. What's behind it all? You know that light of all lights. And you respond to that call. It's a lifeline that's thrown out to grab onto before you fall. You are graced by Spirit's presence. That blessed angel that forestalls the danger and somehow navigates us through to find that soul behind it all. You know that song. The one that sings you back and lifts and comforts you so you can lean upon that holy staff. You know that you can't know all the answers all the time. And so you find that faith and pray for help in Jesus Christ's name. You know what it takes to be human. And it's not an easy thing. To see that true light through the illusions and persevere and find your wings. To fly. To fall. To rise again. And to always recall. What's important is to stand tall. And to be true to yourself. And always love life. And what's really behind it all? To fly. To fall. To rise again and be redeemed. To be born in that light and love. To reach the sky and remember what's behind it all. To be true to yourself. To be true to yourself.
