Mathew 18:3: “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God.”
John 14: 1-3: “In my Father’s house there are many mansions.”
Mark 12: 30-31: “In order to love others, we must first learn to love ourselves.”
Robert Frost: “The Road Not Taken”
For as long as I can remember, Angels and God’s presence have been an open door in my soul. Their peaceful, loving presence have carried me through life’s challenges with endurance, bravery, courage and assurance. As a sickly child in and out of fevers, they stood at the foot of my bed. In times of trouble, they guided me and kept me on track. I shared this with my mother at the age of four. She assured me that she believed me but it would be best not to tell anyone, “Not everyone is perceptive, they would think that you are lying.” So, I kept one foot in each realm quietly for many years, observing that Mom’s wisdom was infinite, knowing and protective. Having a strong natural connection, they became my friends and protectors in times of tribulation and fear. Later in life they evolved from invisible friends into my dreams and visions, some with names. These universal experiences such as quiet whispers, unexplained smells such as roses, intimate Angel hugs-wings wrapped tightly around me, their silent help in times of danger, guidance in my life decisions, and given assignments for the help of others, have taught me the necessity of gratefulness, endurance, and continued growth of my soul’s connection to God and the Universe. We are all One.
Man’s short sighted perception of death and loss of loved ones has left us with the struggle of purpose and the balance of love and fear in our lives. Christ came with Grace as a balancer. Given free will, it is up to the individual on how he uses this gift of choice. Daily choices lead us to many paths in life. It is not the problems we have been presented with in life that defines us but the solutions we make that defines us. Hard challenges and responses define who we are to ourselves and our individual soul’s path in this life. My mother told me at a very young age that, “Jerri Anne, I gave you life, what you do with that is up to you!” In University, the poem by Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken” left a lifelong impression. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Coupled with my Mother’s wisdom, Angel presence, and the words of Christ, I set my path less traveled. My precious daughter, Lisa, tells me, “Mom, you go places that Angels fear to go!”
At the tender age of 80 I understand that the body is just an easily corruptible vessel, temporarily housing our soul in this life. I know that life and death as we define it are not the important issue, but maintaining love, faith and understanding that everything is connected, and our soul’s place in the Universe.
Loss of loved ones and resurrection are part of our own cycle of life. I have chosen the caterpillar and its transformation, complete metamorphosis, as a symbol of our own soul’s transformation. It is our free will and personal choices along the path of life that defines us. Christ came to show us the path less chosen. Learning to love ourselves is the key to loving others. Enlightenment, love and our understanding of our own personal connection to the universe and those who go before us, is the path to our own stairway to heaven. Thus the evolution of the caterpillar into the butterfly traversing the river of life, we cross over to the other side. The Angels, loved ones, and Christ are waiting and our soul’s regeneration begins a new journey.
“The Resurrection of the Soul” is for family and to be placed on the Arrowhead Hammond-Boffa Family Trust. It is here, on this sacred mountain, that the high frequency energy and the enlightenment of our connection to the Universe can be found. Arrowhead is truly “Where Angel’s Walk”. Take care of her and keep her safe. She is a legacy of love for you.
