All Souls Day
Jeana Lee
October 27, 2021
Dear Members and Friends,
Life is a journey. Sometimes straight and sometimes winding, we are guided and helped by unseen influences from beyond the threshold of the spiritual world.
At the end of our lives we take a very different kind of journey and cross the threshold of death. It has been described that everything is turned inside out. We review our lives in reverse order from the way things occurred. We feel what the other person experienced in our shared interactions. And we can receive help and support from the world of the living.
When we think of and remember those who have died, they can be present with us. We can think of moments when we saw them being most truly themselves, when we caught a glimpse of their higher selves. Our loving and true memories of those who have died can help them on their continued journey.
As we approach All Souls Day, it is an opportunity to spend time with our beloved dead, to remember them, and to help them on their way.
(For information and inspiration for working the the dead, see the compilation of Rudolf Steiner's lectures called Staying Connected, edited by Christopher Bamford.)
With warm regards,
Rev. Jeana Lee
