Sacred Journey: On Earth … as It Is in Heaven

By Beverley E. Gould

Lucia was in awe of her new afterlife in the heavenly realms. Serapha, her mother in the family of Light, has prepared her for her new experience on Earth and instructed her on her responsibilities as an ancient soul in new flesh. She is now ready to return to Earth with a pure understanding of how her actions impact others, for better or worse. Joined forever with her spirit brother, David, they are ready to do their part. Each is humbled and exhilarated for what is to come next: a new life, in a newborns body, back on Earth.

As they struggle to adjust to their new reality, with all of its pleasure and pain, delight and despair, and love and fear, they find comfort in the knowledge that they are truly serving the Creator, the God/Goddess/All That Is. They know that they are both guided and guarded by a host of angels and that they are bound to service to this higher purpose.

Armed with the gift of free will, Lucia and David must now make a crucial decision: Will they choose, of their own volition, to risk their sacred journey to help bring the Light to their fellow travelers and remind them of their own heritageor will they make a different choice?

Beverley E. Gould

Beverley E. Gould has had an interest in Past Lives and Life after Death since her Near Death Experience in 1972. She has already published two books .."Child of the Universe"...a slim volume of poetry, and "Sacred Journey.....On Earth as it is in Heaven"...a story demonstrating the reasons for Reincarnation. Her third book "Cathar Truth" is very dear to her heart and she regards it as her magnus opus because of the extensive research undertaken to bring back into the light the truth about her beloved Cathars. Her pursuit of truth led her into studying Theology at The Faculty of Theology attached to Melbourne University. Confident then in her ability to write lucidly about complex issues and weigh up religious and spiritual matters, she set off on her journey to find out the truth of the Pure Ones and the words of her Monk. The result is a fascinating read. Beverley E. Gould lives with her husband and daughter in Melbourne Australia. She is an Author, Poet and Visionary Artist.

The Way

Beverley E. Gould

It somehow seems I’ve always been

A wanderer, through and through

A Seeker in some far off land

Some weary pilgrim who

Has never seemed to catch the step

As other people do

Some distant tune keeps calling me

To find the broader view.

Some echo of another Time

In a scene I cannot place

Some essence of a truer way

With calm . . . unhurried pace

Some whisper of a movement

Steeped in gentleness and grace

Some vision of serene blue eyes

In a knowing . . . loving face

Insistent urging spurs me on

To find again The Way

And when I do

O when I do

I never more shall stray

Answering the Call

Reverently Lucia bowed her head in silent agreement… Thank you, beloved Father. I will do your will to the fullest of my understanding. Dearest child, I cannot ask for more. Go with the knowledge that you are surrounded constantly by my love and the tender care of a host of angels. You are so deeply loved, and I will be continually watching over you. Don’t ever forget that, my precious one. Thank you Father, she whispered softly I will not forget.

Lucia’s thoughts took her back in time, back to the day her spiritual parents in her family of Light had taken her aside, and gently told her what was to come. It had all seemed so easy, so natural. She had listened to their words with a degree of excitement and adventure. The challenge was magnificent… and she was thrilled that they thought her worthy. And she would be going with her spiritual brother, David, so she would not be alone. They were soul mates… twin souls. They shared the same thoughts. Together they could accomplish anything. Anything.

Lightheartedly Lucia wound her way through the woods that surrounded their home, until she came to the ivy covered walls that encompassed her brother’s secret place. She knew she would find him there. He liked to be alone, especially when there was much to think about and absorb. Quietly, she pushed aside the climbing ivy and ferns to find the entrance to their own secret garden, their own special enchanted place.

David had created it first, because in the world of spirit which they inhabited, anyone could create anything they wished, just by using thought and visualization. It was easy and natural. All you had to do was carefully build it in your imagination, mentally locking it in as you went, and whatever you had created became a reality. It then stayed a
