Chapter Seven
Finally
Everyone has a story to tell and these were ours. It was now time to take action. The first step was to figure out where they went wrong. There was not a huge dissimilarity in how everyone came to where they are. None of them took control of their life while alive. Once dead they recognized their mistakes but they haven’t let go of them.
“You guys must let go. Let go of your mistakes.”
They spoke collectively, “We cannot. The nature of the universe won’t allow it. You must right the wrong. We had our chances and couldn’t remember what to do. This energy that we are clinging onto is dying and ready to take new form. Regardless of what we believe or continue to believe, we all feel the transformation happening. Before it arise we all need to make peace. We don’t want our disappointments to roll over into the next evolutionary stage. It will be too late then.
“What do you mean by stating it will be too late?”
We will tell you what we know. We know that we all have an allotted time for our existence individually and collectively. Collectively, our time is almost up. Before it is up we must reform the world. The damage that was done to the world is our fault because we didn’t take the necessary action needed to keep the world well balanced.”
“There are many people that did far worst things in the world than you guys. I know that some of you guys harmed others; however, it wasn’t as if you guys were cruel, callous, vicious criminals throughout your lives. I heard one of you say that we all have our breaking point. Well whose fault is it when someone reaches that point? That is what happened here. You guys got caught up in your emotions and exploded. People that snap in the heat of passion are worthy of forgiveness. Of course, they still must be held accountable for their actions, but they should not be damned to hell or depicted as a hopeless monster.
I also remembered one of you guys stating that there may be a divine reason why certain events occur. It may not make sense to us at the time but it may bring about positive changes in the world as a result. Let’s look at Judah. Although his intentions appeared malevolent, he may have been working for the betterment of the universe. If you believe in the bible, Judah had a mission as well as Jesus. He had to set Jesus mission into action by completing his mission. We see his actions as cowardly, but perhaps “God” (his inner voice) took charge and led him in a certain direction in order to lead us in a certain direction. We all have a purpose that we should be willing to live and die for.
Changes are not usually made through passivity. Throughout history the end justifies the means through tragedy. We don’t listen until something drastic happens; then we take notice of the message.
“We cannot speak for those other souls. All that we can say is that we had a conscious that we disregarded. Perhaps, that is what separates us from the others. They weren’t going against themselves but we were.
As they finished their stories of death I wondered why I had not a story to tell. Why couldn’t I remember what brought me to this place. Perhaps my ignorance was why I was here. I then directed a question towards the silent one. The one that remained silent throughout all of this. There was something that she knew about our situation but was unwilling to share.
“How about you and me” why don’t we remember our story?”
Athena spoke, “Your stories are entangled. If you knew her story you would remember yours and that will prevent you from accomplishing your future goals. Your past will haunt you as it did her once she discovered the truth about her existence. She couldn’t carry out the mission.”
There was a pause as our energy rejuvenated. Now that all of their stories were told we knew where our mission must begin. Their vane death was what brought them here and their desire for retribution was evident in their presence. Unlike the first soul and I, they discovered their purpose and their plan to accomplish it included everyone here, especially me.
Now I knew where the lonely go after life. They have no place to go. They simply linger around waiting for the moment of recognition, and repentance from their spiritual descendents. We must look out for those with a lonely heart. Wherever they are the culprits would be near. Without speaking, our energy formed the answer. We can create our own world or conform to this one. We chose to use our god giving ability to create.
We were now the key to evolution and what was once ambiguous has become vividly clear. Our mission has but one goal - to set forth justice in an unjust world, a war against human evil. As we began to see what was really going on in this beautiful world camouflaged by hurt, we quickly became a movement for all justifiable angry souls. A new beginning erupted in our conscious and needed to be displayed outwardly. The energy within us must somehow be released in the physical realm called earth.
It was then that we formed our vow. We promised our souls that we would destroy all evil until there is nothing left but love. How else can we rid the world of evil but to destroy those that give birth to it? This was the only way our offspring could enjoy a degree of supreme consciousness. We were compelled to do this by all those before us and those to come. We were now crusaders for the innocent, the loss, and all damaged souls. I found myself drifting back to earth. I glance back at past lives in the present moment. For this plane has yet to experience what has already become. I’ve been here before but I can barely remember. Past lives intrude upon the present and torment each living thought. Why is the life of yesterday so easy to forget and death of tomorrow impossible to understand. Death lives next door to life and remains its constant companion. They are both intrigued and obsessed with the knowledge and ignorance of the other.
