There are certain people that have actually helped instigate our spiritual search in this incarnation.
For me, Chris is one of those. When I think of Divine Mother, I recall the sweetness that she brought to my life, in essence a distillation of the supreme sweetness of God-contact. Though we talked of much else, our conversations were satsang, in essence. So, I give thanks for her life, and for revealing that Mother aspect of God to me. I have been around others who appear to be pure channels, but Chris was the first. I wholeheartedly agree with seeking the fellowship of the spiritually inclined whilst they are still in physical bodies.
This is what i do with people like this: U know that u and i r rather trapped in this given time Casey. We r somewhat unable to reach out to the future and the past. We r in the now. But i feel there is a peace in the present where we can lie our thoughts on such places and people where we have been. We can connect with them by being in that space of peace that comes occasionally after a meditation practice. At those times we often can put our thoughts and prayers in to those departed ones we love and that have done so much for us in our lives. In this way we can 'connect' with them again until our thoughts and prayers actually bring us back in their presence again.... When we can transcend or leave this physical dimension that is so heavy and cumbersome that it leaves us ignorant of how close other times and other dimensions are to us now.
Some twin flames do cross paths thru multiple dimensions- this one on earth and with others here as ghosts and spirit beings or we can connect with them in the astral realm. i have seen it happen in my own personal experience with two beings who love one another in multiple dimensions. However since most spirits like Chris are in higher astral realms we would not want to pull there spirits down to this dimension for any length of time. Rather it would b better for us to find our way to her realm in our attempts at meditation and our final exit from here when a pathway is more easily opened.
