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?60 views0 answers0 votes
James continues with his example of John Jones: “I gave up trying to impress him with the truth of his situation and merely stood by and watched as he went through his days. … Once in a while Jones looked at me and said, ‘This is a really weird dream. I wish I could wake up.’ Even after he had watched his own burial, however, he did not accept the fact he was dead. The day after his funeral Jones went to the stock exchange and stayed, as his wont, watching the rise and fall of stocks as avidly as he had ever done. This went on day after day. I found I could give him no assistance, so I soon left him, sitting in his office at the stock market, attempting to advise his fellow workers even though no one was aware of his presence. I checked back on him from time to time and always found him in this same situation. He told me he was getting bored with this silly dream, but he would not listen when I gave him the truth. Death has to be so different from life that this could not be death, and so he must be dreaming. This is the only explanation he would consider. If we multiply John Jones’ experience by the thousands and even millions who so live that their interests are entirely earthly and in no way spiritual, you will see that the sphere immediately after death is burdened with those who should be learning and progressing but instead are tied to the lives they formerly led.” What is Creator’s perspective?63 views0 answers0 votes
James continues with his example of John Jones: “If anyone were to have told Jones’ former partners and business associates that they were now being influenced by Jones from the spirit world, they would laugh scornfully. They were sure their hunches and their knowledge of their professions were sufficient to account for their every instinctive move of buying and selling. Yet the fact that John Jones watched over their shoulders and frequently (if inaudibly) shouted, ‘Buy, buy, now’s the time,’ or, ‘Sell, don’t be caught in the decline that’s coming,’ probably influenced many a deal. Jones may not have known any more of the situation than the man he was influencing, and his advice may or may not have been correct, but his interest and his strongly projected thoughts penetrated the minds of his associates, whether or not they were aware of it.” What are the karmic implications of Jones’ post-death behavior? And if a former associate had spiritual protection against such interference from the earthbound dead like Jones, how would that have appeared to Jones? Or would such protection be invisible to Jones as well, given the non-spiritually progressive state he was in? What can Creator tell us?68 views0 answers0 votes
James wrote through Susy Smith: “Closed minds, no matter whether closed on the subject of the physical resurrection of the body, heaven, hell, nirvana, or oblivion, will get one nowhere in the spirit world. It is best to die prepared for the challenging new experiences, and then whatever comes will be accepted with equanimity.” Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the best means by which we can ensure our own spiritual preparation for our own inevitable transition?62 views0 answers0 votes
A systematic review of 416 medical journal articles affirmed a strong association between higher serum vitamin D levels and a lower risk of bladder, breast, colon, endometrial, esophageal, gallbladder, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, rectal, stomach, and vulvar cancers, as well as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. The review also uncovered lower risks of metastasis and mortality from cancer in patients with higher levels of vitamin D. While vitamin D levels of 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) were adequate for bone and muscle health, reduction of cancer risk and mortality required levels greater than 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) and fell further with levels above 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L). The review cautioned that studies showing no benefit for those taking less than 5,000 IU per day might be misleading. [Wimalawansa SJ. Vitamin D’s impact on cancer incidence and mortality: a systematic review. Nutrients. 2025 Jul 16;17(14):2333. Doi: 10.3390/nu17142333.] Is this a fair summary of vitamin D benefits for limiting incidence and severity of cancer?64 views0 answers0 votes
