A viewer asks: “I was listening to the Whitney Houston channeling and one thing that stood out to me is she said when she passed from an overdose, she continued to be in a state of diminishment even in limbo—she was still feeling as though she was high, as her consciousness was the only sensory characteristic to carry over during the passing, and that her consciousness didn’t reset per se and leave that feeling of being high behind along with her body. So that got me thinking of when my father passed away in hospice and he was pumped up full of morphine to “ease his pain and passing.” I imagine this did the same thing for him. It seems like a disservice now looking back on the situation. This is fairly common practice across all hospice patients in their palliative care. I wonder how much this plays into people getting stuck in limbo, if at all, and if it inhibits light callers from being able to reach out to you once you do pass in that state of being, high on morphine or drugs in general?”

We have addressed this question previously to point out that this is not a concern that warrants change in treatment for those in hospice care and subjected to chronic pain. There is some misunderstanding here in the information imparted by the channeling. What Whitney Houston was describing was not continuing to be high in the sense of having a pleasurable experience, but diminished in the sense of being dimmed down and numb, in other words, constrained in the ability to think and feel anything. The effects of such pharmacological agents, including morphine and other narcotic substances, will indeed reduce the energy of the aura and make it more likely that spirit attachment can take place, but this is relative and may not be a grave threat in all such individuals. There may be some who are led to such impairment, but given that the majority of people have spirit attachments to begin with, to deny them painkillers when they are in a state of severe suffering is a greater evil than a potential risk of worsening things with respect to spirit attachments. People having spirit attachments poses a risk to full transition but does not prevent it in a majority of individuals. As we have told you, about a third of people fail to transition fully on passing, not all of whom are in hospice care and struggling and suffering and further impaired by having heavy medication to dampen pain and emotional anguish, including anxiety. Not all of such sufferers will have a delay in transition as a consequence, whether or not spirit meddler attachments are present. So we would not want to recommend leaving suffering human beings untreated because of a theoretical complication as being described here, especially because the dilemma of departing spirits remaining in limbo if they are not prepared for transition is not a given, so it would be a karmic misstep to make all suffer to save some who might become worsened and have their transition delayed.
