Hello Dat, Eric and Arthur,
Well, I just finished reading this article from tip to tail... interesting...
My thoughts as I read your all's posts and the article...
First...this is an understatement...
it is a complicated topic.
It is very complex and well out of my ability to understand...although those individuals who regularly work in this area and in the "borderland" may offer more as to their energy work experienced there...It is not a place for the weak or the faint hearted.
And just like energy healing that is practiced by thousands upon thousands of people on earth, employing vastly differing methods... this astral work varies also. Because of this, it is nearly impossible to say this is right...this is wrong... as we are each being true to our spiritual guide within us who sees the grand picture well into eternity and beyond. This lovely man, Andrew, even though his beliefs differ from my own, is fulfilling his life purpose and contributing mightily to helping to correct that which is ugly and dark on our world. God is working through his own belief structure giving him a platform from which to work and I have no doubt that something beautiful occurred with his powerful vision of this event...
However, Arthur is correct in my own humble opinion in offering that the astral is constantly being replenished with new "something or others" for lack of a better understanding. lol... Some people will call this souls.. I do not believe this is accurate as how can God ever loose a soul? Perhaps though we are lost to ourselves for awhile...don't know... Some people call what is in the astral, and George is one of them, "thought forms"... parts of mortal selves that are unwanted or unwillingly accepted by Urantia. (Gaia)
When I asked George for a tad of clarification on these "things" spoken of in the article, he said...
"They are something produced by thought. They are not physical. They are not morontial, and they are not spiritual. I would describe them as being astral. It is with help from the Midwayers that I have been able to see them on occasions. Mostly as seeming "entities" and on one occasion as a tear dropped shape thought passing from one Midwayer to another.
They do appear much like described in this article as dark beings. I often see them when I do energy healing work but always are they at a safe distance."
...another way of looking at them in a nutshell... They are unresolved "problems" (The Midwayers call them "packets.") that are unaware of the passing of time, still sitting there in the astral and possibly preventing us from being our fullness on the mansion world or the next realm. They are unaware of the passing of time because there is no personality involved. They are stuck."
I, like Eric, am out of my element in discussing these things of the astral and borderland. It is obvious though that this man, Andrew, is well supplied with the experience, wisdom and celestial help to do the work. And most likely a valuable ally to all celestials working diligently to lift our world into Light and Life.
What I found most important in this article....
The Christ Consciousness IS the breath of God AND the Heartbeat of God. It is LOVE.
Love is all we need. We are all One.
Hugs,
Sandy
