The Angel in the Big Pink Hat
A sample chapter
 A new Excerpt from
The Angel In the Big Pink Hat
When we go to the world of spirit, it always appears in a form that is recognizable to us. When we first go to spirit, we are disoriented and a little confused. It is, after all, a rather disconcerting experience. So, we see the "other side" in terms that are familiar. Everyone speaks our language, the dress is what we expect, and the setting matches something from the life which we just left.
A devout Christian might go to the classic heaven, perhaps even seeing angels with wings sitting around on clouds. A Buddhist would very likely enter a world of Wats and temples and the language, of course, would not be English. People who expect or believe in nothing after death have a surprise coming for them. They will arrive though, in a place that is understandable and comfortable for them. In other words, my guides said, the spirit world is pretty much as we expect it to be.
"And why would I expect an expo, of all things?" I asked a tad petulantly. "Well," they explained. "Where do you normally go for healing and teaching of a spiritual nature?" They had a point. While I do not particularly enjoy going to new age fairs or expos, I do think of them as a sort of "one stop shopping center" where I can experience a number of teachings and products, try on new ideas, take what I like and leave the rest. For me, it is a perfect analogy of what it must feel like to die and awaken into a familiar and yet slightly disorienting environment.
"But I did not experience a white light or have anyone meet me," I added. Having talked to many souls, I know that this is a very common experience for them upon death. My guides reminded me that I did not die, nor did I have a near death experience. I went directly to Go (in Monopoly terms) for the purpose of learning a few things and experiencing some healing. Most souls, they assured me, do in fact have a sense of peace and light upon death. They are then met by a loving presence or two (again, for that sense of familiarity). I have been told of these things and believe them to be true, but they were not part of my dream experience. I was merely a visitor for a brief time.
I laughingly realized that rather than having loved ones meet me, I had one drop me off at the door. Of course, I was embarrassed to admit, my close friends were aware of my life struggles. I had been hijacked and dumped into spirit to learn a few things. It was, no doubt, exactly what I needed to have happen. I had experienced a spiritual intervention and had been forced into "treatment." I would, in all likelihood, not have gone on my own. After all, I was busy. I had a trip to go on. The expo wasn´t open yet. I had a whole list of reasons for not going.
But, that is what friends are for. My friend dropped me off with loving intent. No doubt knowing that the trip could wait and that if I was ready to enter, the guard would let me in.
And let me in he did. "You have already paid," he said.
The truth is, we don´t have to earn our way into the spirit realm. No amount of good works (or bad for that matter) will pay our way in. We can´t get there by meditating a whole bunch or reading every book that has ever been published. We can´t force our way in through intention or holiness or power. It doesn´t matter how we lived or how we died. Death by suicide or heart attack or abortion or a car crash makes no difference as to whether or how we enter spirit. Being a president or a mass murderer or a priest is irrelevant as well. We get in by the grace of the being many call God. Now, what happens when we are in, well, that is another chapter.

The Intuitive Forum
Next meeting is August 8th
The intuitive forum is open to anyone searching for a safe and nurturing place to discuss and learn metaphysical, spiritual and personal growth topics. It is held at the United Church of Christ in Maple Grove, Minnesota and costs $20 per person at the door. It meets once a month on Friday nights from 7 to 9 pm.
Our speaker on August 8th is Jesse Eustis who is a Amanae and Frequencies of Brilliance Practioner. Amanae is a heart-centered bodywork designed to facilitate the release of deeply held emotions from the cells of the body and clear the way for profound healing. The work is done on a massage table and the technique is based on the activation of points or 'doorways' throughout the body.
Jesse will give a demonstration of the work focused on an opening of the heart. While a few willing participants will have a chance to experience the work directly, all who are present may experience a deep heart opening.
This demonstration is more than just a chance to witness the work; it is anopportunity to connect to our breath and our bodies, to explore our sound, and to open to a deep healing experience.
As always, the last hour of the forum will be Kathryn channeling the Light Collective and answering YOUR questions.
See the intuitive forum page of this site for directions and other information.
The Light Collective Speaks Special Event
August 22, 2008 7 pm to 9 pm
NOTE: This date was changed from August 1 due to a scheduling problem
This is the fourth in a series of special events where Kathryn channels the Light Collective about matter of concern to the world and all of us. This one promises to be perhaps the most important, as, rather than taking questions, they are going to discuss the 8 principles governing all life and how we can live it joyfully. There may be a time for questions at the end, but this time the Light Collective wishes to speak to us. It will be taped and distributed as a DVD and will, in all likelihood be the last event before their book is published. Come, bring your questions and enjoy. August 1st at Pilgrims United Church of Christ.
Directions to the church are on the intuitive forum page of Kathryn web site. The cost is $20 at the door.
Volume 3 of the Light Collective DVD is now available
special price of $15
The Volume 3 DVD which was recorded last February is now available. It is, I think the best yet. The Light Collective describes the four different "layers" of soul, how relationships work and the karmic quality to our relationships, soulmates and soul groups and much more. Because we taped this DVD ourselves we sell it for the low price of $15. Volume one is still available for $20 and Volume two (2 dvds) is available for $15 for both. Go to the Light Collective DVD page to order and for more information. Click here to see a short promotional video about the Light Collective. Vol. 1 and 2 are also still available.
