James gives us an interesting example to examine: “Picture, if you will, the situation of one whom we will call John Jones because that is not his real name. John Jones lived a sordid life. His main interests were the attainment of money and the spending of it on himself. He was not always honest, although he could hardly be called a criminal type. He was successful in his business dealings and at the time of his death was a wealthy man. He was also an uninformed man who did not believe in anything except the power of money and his ability to make it. … His relatives who had died had long ago given him up as one they could not influence for the better, and so they made no effort to stay with him and help him (as spirit guides and guardians). When this man died suddenly of a heart attack, no one was there to receive him. I (the deceased/spirit James) heard of his death, and, having known him briefly in life, I decided to try and make his entry into the new phase of his existence as comfortable as possible. I went to greet him. … I walked up to him and he saw me and gave me a perfunctory greeting. Then he lost interest in me immediately. He was puzzled because that body on the bed looked like him, yet he was standing there feeling better than he had in years, if a bit hazy of mind because of his abrupt demise. I told him he’d had a sudden heart attack and died. He paid absolutely no attention. I repeated this several times, but he did not listen. Then finally he said, ‘Look friend, I’m having a crazy dream. I know exactly what is going on, so please stop bothering me. I have many business deals to put through in the morning and no time for such silly talk about death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

This is a true account of an outreach by a being in the light to help someone, as a lost soul human spirit and stuck in limbo, unable to complete their transition and return to the heavenly realm. That spirit was relatively untroubled in terms of having freedom to think its own thoughts and take action of a sort that was more a kind of dreamlike awareness of past routines and expecting similar things to continue. We can tell you this spirit was quite lucky. He was vibrationally able to defend himself energetically from being attacked by dark spirit meddlers, and so was relatively free from torment other than having a diminished awareness of possibilities. Even though he was living a pointless existence, he was clearly possessed of self-awareness sufficient to see that his current experience was limited in many ways in resembling a dream which is only a semblance of actual life experience. But, at the same time, he did not have the reasoning ability to imagine a remedy, a way to change things for the better, to wake himself so he could return to greater levels of function and reward. This speaks directly to the plight of the spirits in limbo, that they are stuck in between, having neither the capabilities, if along with challenges, of being in the physical incarnation or enjoying a return to light being level of capability and the rewards of being a part of the divine realm actively and delighting in the experience.
