CHAPTER 1
RICH-MAN
02-27-15 Friday, 7:50 AM.
Good morning, precious one; all ready to bring in your first chapter? Yes, I am.
I am Sananda. The Being who will be coming forth bears the code of Rich-man. He has been told not to speak any names because of legal issues that could arise from people who knew him, or from relatives of the past. Anonymity must be kept at all times. He will be able to speak as long as you wish without his energy fading out. So I will step back and let him come forward. Thank you.
Good morning; I am very honored to be allowed into your force-field in order to bring you descriptions of my death. Thank you and greetings to you. You have been told that your code name will be Rich-man, simply because we are using the nursery rhyme depicting the different categories souls may use for their life's lessons.
That is fine with me. I wish to back up a bit and say that my body was ravaged with the disease that is called multiple sclerosis (MS). I was totally incapacitated. But I was fortunate in the fact that I had the funds to hire the best help and could easily afford it.
When the time came for my passing, I was in hospice care. I had not eaten for a couple of days. My body felt so tired and I was cold. I had relatives around me, and I was allowed to say goodbye to my favorite pet—a beautiful little dog who liked to cuddle with me. So they brought her in and we had our last cuddle. Then they took her away for sanitation purposes.
I laid there and thought of many things over my lifetime. I was not all that old—65 years old. But I had had a full life. I had traveled a great deal. I thought of all my different journeys; I thought of my family. I thought of those people I liked and did not like. When one is in the business world, one meets a myriad of people.
So I lay there and kind of just dozed, thinking of my many years' experiences. I was not into the metaphysical world, so I did not know all those terms that you know. Then I just kind of slipped out of my body. In fact it rather astonished me because one minute I am lying in my bed and the next I am out of bed and standing looking down at my body that is still in bed! I also observed all the people who had gathered around me moaning, crying, and grieving.
I did not stay there very long. You may find this unusual, but I still carried my emotions. You see, I knew I was going to die; then I knew that I was dead. And then to have all these people crying ... It was depressing. I wanted to just leave. And of course, as soon as I thought that, it happened.
The next thing I knew I was sort of zooming off—similar, I suppose, to a rocket ship, except there was no ship! All of a sudden you are just moving at a tremendous speed. I saw no tunnel. There was no darkness. There was just ... I don't even have the word to explain it. It was like I was floating up in the sky, except I wasn't floating; I was traveling at a tremendous speed.
The next thing I noted was there were Angels by my side. I heard: You can stand up now. And of course this was the first time I had been able to stand up by myself for years because of my MS disease. So I stood up and was absolutely delighted that I was able to move again. I started walking and then just to see if I could, I started running and flapping my arms, almost like a child does. I was in such joy.
The Angels caught up with me and exclaimed, whoa, slow down, good sir; slow down. I replied, where am I? They said, don't you know? I replied, I am not sure. The Bible says when you are in Heaven, there are pearly gates and St. Peter. Are any of you St. Peter? They sort of smiled and said, no, we are Angels. So I said, where are the pearly gates and all of that? They then said, in your imagination. What you think you will see.
So I said to myself, all right let's see some pearly gates! And lo and behold, I was standing in front of some pearly gates. They were very beautiful and just enormous. I said to the Angels who were still with me, are these real? They said, well you just manifested them from your thoughts, so they are real; but you can just kind of dissolve them too, if you wish. I replied, why would I want to do that? They answered, because they are not needed. This is just a belief that has manifested because of your thought. I replied, oh, OK, I will just believe and un-manifest them. And the gates just disappeared.
The Angels slowly guided me into what is called Heaven. There are beautiful buildings. I did not know which one to go to first. An Angel said, why don't we go to the Care Center, for there are still parts of your body that need to be healed.
You see, in order to return to another life ... Do you believe in reincarnation? I replied, well, I guess I do, but I am not sure. They said, well, you will be retrained. We assure you that when you leave, you will believe in reincarnation. Anyway, as we were saying ... They just talked to me like a next door neighbor.
Your dead body is still lying there in the hospice bed and will be taken to the mortuary and be cremated per your wishes. But you are in what we call your etheric body, and it is an exact replica of the body you had. But you still carry in your memory banks the pictures from the cells of your former body. Those cells are ill, so you will need to undergo a time where you will be peacefully asleep so that the healers can heal your body. We do it with crystals, different sounds, and Lights. It is a very pleasing experience, and you will come out feeling even better than you do now.
Therefore, they led me to this awesome building; it was huge. But strangely, it had no ceiling to it—no top. There was an entrance. The building had different floors, I guess you would call them—and you would step into an elevator and be whisked up to a certain floor. At that level there were other Angels who greeted you. They wore different colors. They did not flap around in their wings. They wore colored robes simply because they were more comfortable to wear, whether man, woman, or Angel. You did not have to wear a dress, or you did not have to wear trousers. You wore just a simple robe of pleasing colors. Some of the healers wore jewels because they held a certain energy that healed. Some wore gold rings or necklaces and used the properties from them to heal.
There were just beautiful crystals—huge amethysts—standing on the floor, all emitting healing energies—huge, huge stones. I remembered being taken to my little section. I laid down and these soothing sounds like music started wafting over me. I just fell into a deep sleep. I felt no fear. Actually, I was never afraid during the whole experience. It was all so new to me. Earth people who are into metaphysics know all about healings like this. But to me it was all so new and so strange. I just loved it! I remember in my Earth life when I traveled, I loved seeing all the different places.
In my business, I was bringing different communication systems to them—telephones and things of that nature. However, that is all starting to fade, and I now do not think about it all that much. So in the Caring Center, I fell into this deep sleep. When I woke up, it was just like awakening back home. I felt much rested and knew I had had dreams, but I did not pay that much attention to them. Therefore, I just sat up and found that I too had on a robe. It was kind of a dusky blue. Of course as you know, men were not allowed to wear many colors, at least not in my day. The only time that I could wear a dusky blue color would be in a shirt.
Then the next thing that I knew, the Angels, who were still with me, led me to another building—again a building with no ceilings. I found that strange, but I accepted it so did not even think to ask, how come? I noted that when one is in Heaven and sees all these things that are strange, and at the same time accepted, that one simply does not ask about them. It is just the way of things.
They led me then to this other building. It was a building I was more familiar with, although I had never seen it before. It had all computers and things of that nature inside. I got excited until I found out what it was. It is where the soul sees, hears, and feels the review of his departed lifetime.
I thought, oh, no! I am going to fail that one. I was not always a very nice person, you see. I was very strict and disciplined my employees severely and fired people easily. As I sat down in front of this huge computer screen and my review started, I started feeling every picture I saw. It went clear back to when I was a baby and how my parents treated me! Then I saw me as a toddler and what was it like when I could not walk very well and people kind of laughed at me and thought it was funny. I was trying so hard to walk and I couldn't understand why people laughed at me.
The next thing I saw were school scenes and how my personality was molded. My family members were not, as one would say now, of the heart. I knew that they loved me, but they were stern. There was fighting among the siblings. No one had much respect for each other. What we respected was the discipline. Therefore, I saw in my review how that was carried over. I felt the same anger that I had as a ten year old. It was like I was there all over again. I felt everything. I saw when I was really mad and was cursing inappropriately, using words I would not dare in front of my father. I saw all of that again, experienced all of that; experienced the anger; experienced the guilt for the words I had spoken.
Then I went further along in that lifetime, and I saw how my emotions were changing. I saw when I had met my first love and how much it had affected me and how afraid I was. I was so afraid that I would say or do something that would make her upset and not like me that I was tongue-tied. It was almost like I was with her, but visiting her from afar and not able to speak much. That was my first love and then it went on and on and on. I had several loves in my life and many women.
Therefore, while the review in one way was not as frightening as I thought it would be—I did not appear before God and get damned and anything else he might do—I did feel all the negative actions that I had done; I actually felt them. Oh how I wished I could go back and change all of that. I felt how lacking love was in my heart. I did not love all that deeply. I was so into my ego—you know, a man's world, being a CEO, being an owner; controlling all of these people; into power. Then in my review it was not all that wonderful, for I felt both sides of the coin. I felt all my power and ego, but then I felt the recipients' emotions. Sometimes they were angry or guilty with me; they hated me. Or they just gave up their autonomy and let me control them. So I was so happy when my Angel guides said, OK, it is time to go. I had reached in my review the final end to that life—laying in the hospice bed with my dear wife sobbing over me.
The Angel guides are very good to the newcomers into Heaven. They knew we had just gone through a tremendous review and that we were experiencing the ups and downs and feeling very dejected and not in a good place. Therefore, the next thing they would do is let the people have their thoughts but there was uh—almost like a counseling session. You were not by yourself but with a group. I went into this room and all of a sudden here were all these people. Everyone else seemed to have the same problems of guilt and anger. I guess one could call this an Anger Management class, or something like that. We all just started talking how we felt about our review.
The Angel Facilitator started what I now know was to retrain us, to tell us why we did something and that how that needs to change. In other words, they were changing our erroneous belief systems. It was understood that we would be attending these sessions for as long as we resided there. It is interesting to note, I now know what that saying, as above, so below, means. The souls tend to have periods that they kind of re-enact times in life—like group therapy. We did that.
There were no days and nights. There was no time as we knew it on Earth, we soon learned. We soon forgot Earth-time. Pretty soon we started meeting loved ones who had already passed over. Now since I was in my sixties, I had never met many of the people in my family tree. Therefore, it was interesting to speak with them and compare experiences. I cannot say that I had a particular loved one that I met here. They were just all relatives and friends—golf partners at one time or another. So we did that.
Now you may be wanting to know what about religions? There are no religions in Heaven. We just knew there was a God watching over us, but we never saw Him. I never went to the Judgment Seat. It seems as if the Angels just guided us hither and yon. Then pretty soon they gave us more leeway. We learned that anything we thought about would just happen. Of course there was always an Angel guide when we felt like we needed one.
It is like you are watched over. It is not like you will get into trouble; it is just that you are watched over with such love, so that you are always experiencing love. I think that is the part I wish to talk about the most. We are always experiencing love.
Every once in a while, a great excitement would happen throughout the community. I learned it was because a great Being, an Ascended Master or someone like that, would be coming to visit. Of course everyone wanted to see Jesus because that was the only one we knew, or I should say, I knew, because I was not in a different belief system while I was on Earth.
Now I must say he filled everyone's expectations. He was glorious. He was in his robes, and you could see the colors that were coming out from all that surrounded him. When you came within that radius of his Light, you felt the peace and you felt his love. It was almost overwhelming and you wanted to follow him. But he had a way of letting you come just so close and then he smiled and kind of floated away as we all stood there and watched, not realizing that his energy alone had given us a magnificent healing.
I was so excited when he came to me, we'll say years later, and asked if I would be willing to be one of the people who would tell my death story for this book that you are writing. I was so excited. He explained that there could be a section in the book that you are calling Q & A—Questions & Answers. So I am open to anything you wish to ask me.
Thank you, Rich-man, and I am using your code name. Yes, and it is quite alright. I thank you for being open to my asking you questions. They are just simple little questions that I will ask you.
Questions (Q) and Answers (A)
You have already answered one of them. (How old were you when you died? And you said, 65.)
Q: How long has it been since you have had a body?
A: It has been many years and I do not know the exact number, but it has been many.
Q: What form do you have now?
A: I dropped that etheric body eons ago and I am now in a free spirit form.
Q: And in that life time, what was your purpose?
A: Ah, that was a hard one for me. I still remember it. The purpose, of course, was to have many people work for me but to do it to open my heart. I fell into the lower vibration of controlling. I am not very proud of that lifetime. And I intend to repeat it.
Q: Did you finish your contract?
A: I finished some of it in that I had many people working for me. I just did not do it with compassion and love. I did it with control.
Q: Will you go back with the same genetic entity and reincarnate? Do you understand what I mean?
A: Do you mean with the same body? Or one that looks like it? Yes. NO, I do not want that body again! It has the multiple sclerosis genetic properties. I don't want that. I want a body that is stronger and not diseased.
Q: Will you have a new vocation?
A: In a way, yes. I will not be in Communications anymore, but I will still have to bring a great deal of people to me in the work place and hopefully deal with them in a kinder, more loving way.
Q: Will you come back through a natural birth or will you come back as a walk-in?
