Sitting 251: What your thinking allows
Beloved brother we would greet you once again with our love as we, through you, send knowledge to those of you who are ready to accept it. The problem with being in your position, seemingly trapped on the physical plane is not so much that you can and what you can not accept as being feasible but what your way of thinking allows you to accept as possible. There is such a large difference between your restricted lives and the open-ended variations in our spiritual lives that you have no standard which you can apply for you are bound by the physicality of your earth lives where such freedoms are impossible.
The similarities of the Earth/Spirit lives are so few and far between that we need the Astral and Etheric planes so that you gently slide through these levels, becoming accustomed gradually to the new situations you encounter as you progress further and further away from the earth plane.
The greater part of our siblings adapt quite quickly to the change but some of you become so entrenched with the earth that they can be unwilling and indeed unable to let go of their possessions for many years.
There are also those unable to accept any thought of another life beyond the physical that they become entrapped by their beliefs until someone encounters them and leads them towards the light.
Which is why you hear tales of lost souls.
