Dear George:

I have heard some mediums say that a soul is “stuck” and needs help to cross over. I have then seen them do this little ritual to help the soul to cross. In your writings I get the impression that all is revealed and understood once we pass over. So I was wondering if there is ever a time when a soul does not know that they have passed away from their human form and also is there ever a time when a soul will need to be helped to the light from people on the earth plane?

—Debra

We had a bit of a comical moment when this question was read to me by my assistant. She thought that I should say the same thing in a public forum, and then tell people that it required my doing the chicken dance to “unstick” their loved ones from this plane. I certainly don’t mean any disrespect to the bereaved, or mean to make light of their grief, but we wondered aloud how many of them would have done the dance with me if they didn’t realize I was joking.

I think I will always be at a terrible loss as to understand why we people struggling on the earth with barely enough spiritual knowledge to help ourselves, think we have the kind of control or power to alter the life of the souls in any way whatsoever. People do it all the time, especially when it comes to the passing of their loved ones. I hear so many times from people that they thought if only they had made a better decision, or done something different at those final moments of a loved one’s life, that somehow they could change the entire world of their loved one. In doing this, we would unwittingly “spare them” their life of joy and peace on the other side. The power is not in our hands, and we do not have the kind of control necessary to alter the life lesson of anyone, except perhaps, and only to a degree, our own. If we understood a little better our reason for being on the earth in the first place, we might understand a little better that the entire reason for living on the earth is to learn and grow so that each of us will be rewarded with the opportunity to live in a world of joy. Trying to change the sequence of events would be rather like trying on the earth to prevent somebody from winning the lottery and experiencing a wonderful life of leisure. We wouldn’t even try if we understood even a little bit how magnificent the world hereafter actually is. If we had a little more courage and a lot more faith, we would willingly and gladly send those we love to a life of complete joy. But we often don’t understand, and we mostly don’t have enough faith to make the decision to send our loved ones off to their reward, rather than to try to hold them to the earth.
