THE GREAT SPIRITUAL QUESTION
by Douglas James Cottrell

Many of you have heard the story about the dream visitation I had when my daughter Cheri passed in 2006. I repeat it here for those who haven't. She came to me a day or two after her death, and said in a cheery tone, "You're going to forget me." I objected, saying, "No, I'll never forget you," but she repeated, "Oh yes you will." I awoke feeling very sad. A few days later, the meaning of this was made clear to me.

Following the memorial service, my wife and I, along with our eldest son, returned to our home to make preparations for a reception. Guests were already assembled outside the locked house, waiting to be let inside. When my youngest children arrived, they told me that the funeral director had caught them just as they were leaving and asked, "What about your sister?" In the commotion and haste to rush home and tend to our guests, we had all forgotten to take the urn containing Cheri's remains.

The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I had, indeed, forgotten my daughter. A tear came to my eye, and I smiled. Cheri’s sing-song message from the spiritual dimensions was true.

But more than this, Cheri's soul was letting me know she was alive.

The spiritual quest for knowledge can be reduced to a simple question: "What happens after a person dies?" It is a spiritual question we must all face. There are many religious points of view, and therefore many beliefs. Intellectual study of religious doctrine, along with personal opinion, fuel the need for the believers to convince or persuade others to believe as they do (I submit) to reinforce their personal interpretation of their belief or religion. But it is the mystical, metaphysical experiences that prove the spiritual world. As I have said on many occasions, faith is built upon belief and belief is built upon evidence.

A dream vision of a future event may begin the process. A booming voice (God talking or calling your name) in a deep sleep/dream-state may awaken the spiritual side of you. In meditation, a revelation or profound experience may be the spark that awakens you to your High Self. The appearance of a translucent figure or a deceased relative or friend may be the cosmic shock that gets you reading the Good Book(s) and asking questions about the spiritual side of life. But whatever the metaphysical event, it is proof to you that something in the spiritual realms happened. No one can dissuade you or pass it off as an over-active imagination. You know what happened, and it was real.

Confirmation of your mystical spiritual experience leads you to remove all doubt that the spiritual dimensions exist. This was the case with CH, a good friend of mine, who recently lost his wife. He had seen something strange appear a few days after his wife's death. He happened to open my book, Secrets of Life, to page 94, which illustrates the various shapes that spiritual beings take, and what he saw on that page brought him great comfort. He told me, "We all want to believe (in God), and most of us think we believe, but we cannot really be sure. There is always that tiniest bit of doubt. But after seeing what I saw and I know what I saw was real, I am a changed man and now for certain I believe. I now have no doubt about life after death and I can look forward to my own now without fear."

FROM THE DTM SESSIONS: COMPARING MODERN AND ANCIENT TIMES

Q. Some have compared the current state of culture in Western society to the last days of the Roman emprie. Others have suggested that our society more closely mirrors the end period of Atlantis. Which is more correct, and why?
A. It would be more to the Atlantean, rather than the empire of the Roman, you see, for the empire of the Roman was consumed from within. Indeed, there were civilization accesses of all pleasures of the physical body, but it was not because of this the empire was destroyed It would be along the lines that this attitude branched out into a state of disarray; old business became new business, transgressions in the past became transgressions in the present. Indeed there was consumption from within, for there would be extremes from within. But here it was more to the glorification of the physical, rather than it would be to the glorification of the spiritual. To the Atlantean, it would be the manipulation of the forces of nature, seemingly similar in present states in which there is great ability to manipulate the forces through scientific understanding of nature itself. Here, the atomic understanding, the war-like activities that are destructive, unleashing forces that are beyond the understanding and comprehension in the finite mind. The Atlanteans were likewise stricken with war and discontent. They were influencing the environment and nature itself. They were consumers, in the end. They were not similar but not unlike the present state of consumption. For oil is being pulled out of the caverns in the crust, the atmosphere is being consumed, there are forces that are affecting the fault lines, there is not harmony, but rather disharmony. The Atlantean manipulated the forces of nature, affected that of the very laws of the planet itself. The law of nature and Mankind in its present state appears to be doing the same. Being in harmony with nature is to live with nature, but not in a destructive way, but in a way that is co-operative with nature. The Romans were canibalistic, so to speak. They indulged themselves in all things to the extent of neglect of their civilization.

Dear Douglas and Karen, The reading you did for me over a year ago is a source of immense comfort to me. It was done with amazing insight and accuracy and in my moments of uncertainty has offered more hope to me than anything else has. I am so glad I had a reading with you. I listened to it today again and I am amazed at the progress I have made since your DTM advice. My life has turned around 360 degrees and I am extremely grateful to you for what you did for me. My life seemed static and as though there was no room for progress. I could not imagine that my life would have improved so much being beset by impossible illnesses and circumstances. You treated me impartially and with great dignity and I don't know how to say thank you except I hope that more people avail themselves of your services and get appropriate guidance from you. When I have the money again I will keep you in mind, you are a very gracious human being with a genuine desire to do good and make people's passage through this life a lot easier. Blessings to you both and may you enjoy continued success. I don't know how to show my appreciation except to say THANK YOU.- M.F.
