About this ebook
the Holy Spirit of God?
Th is is what happened to Losara eighteen years ago, when a spontaneous
out-of-body event transformed her into a psychic medium. As a collection
of real-life events and encounters with Divine Spiritual Forces, this book
answers some of the questions her clients (and perhaps you) have had about
lifes puzzles and problems:
Is a past-life responsible for the problems I am having with my spouse?
Why did my business partner betray me?
Can my mother really see me from heaven?
Why doesnt God solve my problems?
Deeply inspiring, and often humorous, these stories highlight Losaras
adventures during her Divine Contact with Departed Souls, Spiritual
Masters, and the Cosmic Consciousness. Be prepared to open your mind to
grand, soul-lifting concepts! Although these readings can be very personal,
they apply to every person on the planet, as Universal Truths are given to help
ordinary people in an extraordinary way.
As a psychic medium for over 18 years, Losara has given thousands of
spiritual readings from Divinely-channeled sources to individual clients and
groups seeking answers and higher spiritual awareness. Divine Contact will
make you laugh, cry, and remember that the Holy Spirit is as close to you as
your very breath."
Losara
As a spiritual medium and channeler, Losara received these remarkable answers of universal truth from the Holy Spirit and her master teacher. In over one hundred spiritual readings, you will find what Lincoln referred to as self-evident truths. All arguments become null and void in the face of truth, for the universal laws shine a light so profound that all errors of opinion are illuminated; they vanish almost from embarrassment, for once truth is seen all wonder how they could have believed or lived in the shadows of misperception. All of Losara’s work has been given to others free of charge.

THE BEGINNING
FIRST CONTACT
My story
You can do this, you know,
the old woman said to me.
Do what?
I asked, puzzled.
This! Psychic work! You have the ability to do this,
she explained. I have never taught anyone how to do this method of card reading, but I will teach you.
I was sitting across from an older woman who was telling my fortune, using an ordinary deck of playing cards. She was the grandmother of a friend of mine, and she was in town visiting her relatives for a few weeks. Over the next week, the woman showed me how to lay out the deck, taught me the rhymes that helped her remember which cards meant what, and how to finish the original reading with a closing mini-forecast for the client. I never saw her again. She was right, however; I had a natural aptitude for card reading, and had an intuitive sense about what the cards meant to the person who was sitting with me. I was sixteen years old, and this was my first experience with psychic phenomena.
My friends were delighted with my new talent, and were amazed at the accuracy of the readings. You could make money doing this!
they said to me. I knew immediately that this was not the path for me: becoming a professional
card reader and accepting money. Instinctively, I knew that these gifts
came not from me, but from Someone Else, and that this Someone Else was not for sale. Friends thought I was crazy, but I felt deeply that if I charged money for this trade, it would not be wise. Many years later, I could articulate my reasons for not charging for any of the psychic/medium work that I do: what I receive comes from the Holy Spirit, which is freely given by God, and I give it freely to others. Some psychics are uncomfortable with my no-charge stance, but I feel that to truly serve people through the Spirit, you must do so with no thought except to be of service. When your entire reason for providing the medium
for contact with deceased loved ones or contact with the Holy Spirit is only for the benefit of others, your channel is pure, clear, and unlimited. Spirit has told me a million times, INTENT IS ALL
and that pertains to the reason that you do any of the things you do. It is the mark of where you are in personal spiritual growth.
I stopped doing card readings when I was eighteen years old. Back then, my mother and I were wondering one day if I could do a card reading for someone who wasn’t present in the house with us. I decided to try, and learned a very valuable lesson: this wasn’t a game. I was dealing with spiritual powers that transcended time and space. We did a card reading for a friend of hers, and the cards were ominously warning of this woman’s death. I saw the doctors, the hospital, the illness, and her passing all in the layout of cards before me. This shook us up, but when it actually happened I was horrified. I knew I hadn’t caused her death, but the fact that it was so easily predicted with the use of a deck of playing cards left me very confused and frightened.
My ability as a spiritual channeler did not surface until I was thirty-four years old. I had kept up with the metaphysical world through the reading of great spiritual books, but nothing out of the ordinary had ever happened to me. I was a wife and mother, and was fully occupied with running a family. And I was also very depressed. The reasons are not important to this book, but as anyone knows who has suffered a very deep depression, it was painful and all-consuming. No one on the outside knew of my depression, even my husband. I kept a smiling countenance to the world, and my tears to myself. One night, as I was sitting on my bathroom floor and crying my eyes out, I prayed deeply for God to kill me. I was too scared to commit suicide, but I figured that if I prayed hard enough the Almighty might just come and get me, right there in my bathroom.
As I pleaded with God to end my pain and take me from this world, my spirit flew out of my body and toward an incredible LIGHT. It was so bright that it should have hurt my eyes, but it didn’t. It was everywhere! I was totally immersed inside an expanse of light, and I could hear many voices, joyously shouting, Welcome home! Welcome home!
I could not see anyone else, but I could feel them, and the love they sent was so intense that it took my breath away (not that I was breathing). I had only the sensations of weightlessness and joy, and something even better than joy: PEACE! Wonder-struck, I looked around, and began to hear the Voice of what could only be The Holy Spirit. It sounded like there were many people speaking the same words to me, and it felt like a they,
not an it.
Since then I have always referred to the Holy Spirit as them.
They began to ask me questions, which I later understood were to help me realize who and what I am, and to define what I really wanted in this lifetime.
Why do you want to die?
they asked me. Every time I answered one of their questions, they asked me the question, Why?
so that eventually I was face-to-face with the TRUTH of where I was in my life and what really mattered. The voices that had greeted me were all around, surrounding me in a healing, all-accepting love. I was given the choice of staying there or returning to my bathroom floor. I realized that if I stayed I would be welcomed with great warmth and joy, but it dawned on me that if I did stay I would have brought nothing to this Light. We bring all of our experiences with us when we die, and these are added to the whole. Sure, I had been a nice person, but I had done nothing of great value to bring to this heavenly place.
The Holy Spirit asked me, Why does it matter that you bring something of value with you when you die?
I replied that I wanted to enhance this Light, and that I had not done anything in my life that would add to the brilliance I was experiencing there. Spirit asked me again, Why does it matter that you should bring anything to the Light?
And suddenly, there it was, the awakening to the fact that I was ONE with all of the beings in this brilliant place. They were all me, and I was all of them. There was no separation between us, and I loved them. That meant that I LOVED ME. The feeling was overwhelming! The grandest love imaginable washed over me, and I zoomed back into my body on the bathroom floor, changed forever.
I had an immediate and powerful drive to meditate every night, and within two weeks, I was hearing voices during these sessions. I began writing down the incredible words of wisdom the Holy Spirit was sharing with me, and before long, I was having visions to go with the words. Spiritual teachers came to me every night, and we discussed many topics. I thought I was crackers. I had read of this kind of channeling
being done by people, but this was happening to ME! I was afraid to tell anyone, so I kept it a secret, hiding my pile of notebooks of the dictation I received from Spirit in a desk. I finally took my mother into my confidence. She has been a rock of support for me in all of this, and is the reason I launched into trance channeling
or what I like to call talking to Spirit.
I had been secretly doing dictation readings for myself and for my mother, and while she was visiting one day she asked if we could try to do a dictation from Spirit while she was there. She would ask questions of the Holy Spirit, and I would write down the answers I heard while she was present, instead of me writing a question and sitting in meditation for the answer to be given later. As I was preparing, through prayer, to enter a deep meditative state, I began to feel strange. I opened my eyes to look glassy-eyed at my mother, and said, Mom? Someone’s here, and they want to talk to you.
Immediately, my eyes shut, my body sat straighter, and a Voice came out of my mouth.
Greetings! We are Holy Spirit,
the Voice said through me.
My mother, bless her, kept her wits about her and grabbed the pen and paper from my lap and began writing down everything the Holy Spirit said. She even asked them questions. I was far, far away . . . Eventually, I heard her calling my name, over and over, and then the concern in her voice reached me and I opened my eyes. I was dazed.
What was that?
I asked my mom.
It sure wasn’t you!
she exclaimed. They were so graceful!
That remark referred to the graceful movements that the Holy Spirit made with my arms and hands while they were present in me. I had been out
for at least an hour, and was exhausted. The first encounters with this kind of energy were depleting, but eventually the sessions were energizing, as I learned to adapt to the higher frequencies. The only thing that kept me from becoming convinced that I was losing my marbles was that the wisdom coming through this channel was beautiful, practical, and true. My spiritual teachers took me to incredible places through consciousness travel, gave practical advice to me for a variety of everyday problems, and helped me overcome human habits that hindered my soul growth. I have plenty of habits to go, but progress has been made.
The deep gratitude I have and the great sense of humility I feel for the privilege of learning from the wise Masters who have come to me cannot be fully expressed in language. People often express wonder at the gift
that God has given me. I have learned that it is not a gift. The Holy Spirit told me that clairvoyance, and the related abilities that go with it, is a talent, not a gift. These talents were honed over many lifetimes. Saying that God has given me a gift would denote that God has favorites, and He does not. He loves us all the same way: completely and eternally. Just as the scientist who now has the ability to understand complex mathematical concepts has practiced these skills over many lifetimes, so a person who is a psychic in this lifetime became so because of previous lifetimes studying and practicing metaphysics. It is what you DO with these talents that matters. INTENT IS ALL.
Coming out of the closet with this ability was very hard for me, and my avoidance in doing so only added to the things that led to my divorce from my first husband. ( Just because one is psychic does not mean one is wise in all choices. The school of hard knocks
accepts all students on Earth.) This divorce had been predicted for me by Spirit, and I was told that I would meet my mate of souls
and have another child. Impossible, I thought at the time, but as usual, Spirit was correct. They even gave me a detailed dream about Joe and our future life together five weeks before I first laid eyes on him. When I met Joseph, Spirit was shouting to me, Old friend! Old friend!
My husband has been the catalyst for many, many wonderful sessions of Spirit’s wisdom.
Over the years, my clients would ask me when I was going to write a book. I had absolutely no desire to do so, and would tell them that when I died my grandchildren could sort through the mountain of notebooks and hundreds of cassette tapes and do something with it all. Spirit had other ideas! One morning at 1:30 a.m., I was awakened with a sense of urgency by Spirit. Wondering what the heck this was about, I centered my mind and immediately saw a vision of a bench sitting in the middle of a beautiful forest of pine trees. I knew this was an invitation by Spirit to pay attention to something, and I walked over to the bench and sat upon it, only then seeing there was a book lying on the seat next to me. I reached over to pick it up, and saw that MY name was on the cover of this book, as author. Oh no,
I whispered to myself. Suddenly a glorious vision of the aspect of Divine Mother appeared in front of me. She was smiling and nodding, and told me that She wanted me to write a book.
You’ve got to be kidding!
I protested. Do you know how chaotic my life is now?
(Silly question, of course She knew.) Divine Mother gently insisted that this is what I was to do. I pointed out to Her three major things that would need to change in my life for me to be able to write a book. My family was going through immense financial difficulty, and I didn’t even have enough money to buy the new glasses I needed so desperately. My husband had been out of work (his profession in the engineering and electronics industry was dying in Colorado) and I had a small daughter to care for. We couldn’t afford preschool or a sitter to watch her while I sat to type. (During this hard time those who criticized me for not accepting money for spiritual work had a field day.) Divine Mother simply smiled and nodded Her assurances, and vanished. I was awake for a long time, overwhelmed by the entire visitation. There were YEARS of material to go through. It would take forever just to sort it all out!
The very next morning, Divine Mother took care of my first excuse not to write a book. My mom called me and said, Now, I am your mother, and I want no arguments—I am paying for an exam and a new pair of glasses for you. Make the appointment now!
She couldn’t get the thought out of her head last night, she told me, and wanted to make sure I got right to it. In my heart I was on my knees to my Divine Mother. How appropriate that She would influence my Earth mother to get me going. I was convinced I had to get busy on the project. Over the next six months, with a lot of effort in learning to use the Law of Attraction, my husband got a new job, we moved, and our daughter went off to preschool. Time to fulfill my part of the bargain.
Where to start? There were volumes and volumes of notes, readings, and dictations to re-read and put into categories, and eighteen years’ worth of tape-recorded channelings! When I remembered to seek out the advice of the Holy Spirit, things went much smoother. They apparently had an agenda for the book already. I was surprised to learn that they wanted to start out with what my kids call the cool stories
about Spirit. My husband agreed.
Don’t you see, Losara? The stories are the proof that all of this Spirit stuff is real, that all of this is true,
he explained.
Yeah, Mom, do the cool stories! You can do the Teachings later,
my teenaged son advised.
When I listened to Spirit’s ideas, all went smoothly, and I would find myself waking up in the night with whole chapters in my head, and material for each section would be presented as I ate, performed household duties, or took a shower. This is how Spirit communicates with me, anywhere and all of the time. My personal wish is that each person who reads this book will see that GOD IS REAL, and that He is right here, with you, all the time. God cares about you and everything you are doing, and He set up the world so that you can learn how to create a good life intentionally. The writings in this book are completely true, and happened to real people. In most cases, their real names have been used, with their permission. I was overjoyed to see how many clients that I contacted were thrilled to be a part of the book. All of them have the same hope that I do; that reading these experiences will make a difference in the lives of the people who read them.
Enjoy the cool stories!
Given with great love,
Losara

COMMUNICATION WITH DEPARTED SOULS
COMMUNICATION WITH DEPARTED SOULS
My first after-death contact:
Joe’s Father and Grandfather
About eighteen years ago, the Holy Spirit gave me a series of predictions about my life. They seemed fantastic to me, and totally out of line with where I thought my life was leading. Spirit told me that I would begin to do spiritual readings with people. I was skeptical, but it happened. They told me that I would do channelings for groups, and showed me a crowded room full of people. It will never happen, I thought. But it did. I was told that I would remarry and have another child. I scoffed, but several years later I met my mate of soul, and we eventually had a sweet baby girl. Spirit showed me information about the Earth Changes, and important events leading up to, and after, the cataclysms. Time will tell about those predictions. Then they told me I would be speaking with the dead.
WHAT?
I asked, in shock. (This was way before it became popular on TV.) What would I want to do that for? I don’t do séances.
There will be a great need for this service, and it will ease suffering,
Spirit assured me.
I am going to be talking to dead people?
Yes.
HA! Fat chance!
I laughed. I wasn’t believing any of these predictions.
And, of course, it happened.
My first full-blown contact with a soul who had crossed over happened right after my husband and I had returned from a few days in the mountain town of Winter Park, Colorado. We were driving down to the valley when I complained to Joe about hearing the same song in my head for three days. It was driving me crazy. He asked me what the song was, and I replied, ‘Yellow Bird’. It’s an old song that you have probably never heard of.
He began to sing it: Yellow bird, up high in banana tree . . .
I joined in and then said, Yeah, that’s it!
He told me that his dad used to sing it on stage during his musical comedy act in the 1950’s. Joe’s father had been in show business with some of the great talents of the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. He had even been on The Ed Sullivan Show on television. He had died in the 1980’s, and I had never met him or seen a picture of him. Late that night in bed, I groaned and sat up, and woke up Joe.
What? What is it?
he asked, sleepily.
I can’t get that song to go away!
I complained.
It’s midnight, Losara!
Tell that to whomever is singing to me!
I grouched back.
Hey, wait a minute. Why don’t you just let it play; don’t fight it, and see what happens,
he suggested.
Well, I haven’t tried that. Maybe it will stop.
I agreed to give it a try and, hearing the song for the fiftieth time, I sighed and allowed it to flow through my mind.
In my inner vision, I began to see pictures of a man on stage in Hawaii. He was wearing a tropical print shirt, was thin, and had an incredible head of dark hair. He was standing behind a strange little table that had a stringed instrument on top of it. And next to him was (oh please, I thought) a guy with an accordion. I described all of this to Joe.
THAT’S MY DAD!
he said, incredulous. Losara, that is my dad! He used to play gigs in Hawaii, and that table held his steel guitar! And he always used an accordion player in his band. What else do you see?
Concentrating on the scene before me, I continued to describe the pictures that flowed effortlessly to me. There’s something unique about his hair. He really has a thing for his hair. And he LOVES Hawaii, like a second home.
Dad used his hair in a comedy sketch,
Joe told me. "He would pretend to have a problem with the electrical cords, and then after bending down to
