Afterword

This book is

dedicated to my high school buddies, my dearest friends with whom I shared a very emotional journey after the death of our friend Minon. They were the ones who were with me during the first years of my gief, as we were trying to cope with our loss. For me it was the deepest despair and greatest pain I had ever felt in my life. They were the ones protecting me, watching over me and looking out for me when I needed it the most. They were there, always! They still are my dearest and most trusted friends and soul mates, no matter where we are in our lives. Thank you for watching over me.

Preface

On January 6, 1997 I received a strange and unexpected message from Minon, my friend who died when I was a teenager. I was eighteen when I lost my best friend, my buddy, my serious friend whose life was only just beginning, and so was mine. When she was alive, we agreed that the first one to die would try and contact the one left behind. As we always joked about me being the first in almost everything, I expected it would be me. I had a very difficult time facing the loss of such a dear friend plus I had a hard time forgiving myself for not being the first one to die.

The first encounter of her trying to make contact (and me rejecting it) was when I was doing my training. A group of students were calling ‘ghosts’ and I was not participating in this procedure because one way or another I felt I would encounter something I was not quite ready for. Minon must have been dead for two or three years, when this activity was done. A group of students were sitting around the table with a glass and letters in a circle and another group was away from this, including myself. When the ‘ghost’ arrived and the questioning started, they asked for the ghost’s name. The glass started moving to the ‘M’ then the ‘I’ then the ‘n’. At this point, I was trying to catch my breath and it felt as if my heart stood still. The moving of the glass stopped. I wanted to leave and nearly walked out because I knew very clearly it was Minon who was trying to connect. She was holding up her part of our agreement and now she was there and I was not ready for it. I felt hot and cold. It felt as if I could not breathe at all. Luckily another friend was with me and put her arm on my arm to calm me down. When I calmed down the movement of the glass continued and it finished with a name like ‘Minrixo’ or something like that. I cannot remember clearly as I was not paying attention. My head was spinning and all sorts of thoughts came racing into my head, and I was scared, very scared. After some time, I calmed down a little and was very sceptical about this process. I did not believe it. I was not ready for it and my only protection was to deny it all and separate myself from what they were doing. I just did not want to believe the spirit was Minon, yet a voice inside my head kept on telling me that it was Minon and that I should be asking questions. However, at the beginning I could not bring myself to ask anything. I knew that most of the questions that were answered that day, were not questions the spirit was there for.

The following day my friend, who had been standing next to me, told me that in the middle of the night she woke up, and she had a message saying that it had been Minon, reflecting back on this, I now believe that this was my first experience with Minon trying to contact me. I was not ready for that, the shock and grief of losing your best friend so suddenly and unexpectedly, was still much too raw and painful. Later, I could have kicked myself for having missed an opportunity to ask her questions that I needed answers to. However, it was that realization that put me on a path to finding a way to communicate with her. If there was really life after death, then I was certain that she would try and find a way to get through to me, like she had done in the ‘ghost’ experience.

As part of my own preparation in the years after that first encounter, I started to read several books related to spirits and after life, and mediums etc. I received her second message in 1997, after reading those books related to spirituality and how others had connected with spirits. That is the one that I believe to be the second message, she might disagree with me. Those books prepared me to analyze my beliefs and to learn to meditate. I started a journey that involved finding a way to reconnect with her, but this time in a prepared and more educated way. I was ready to receive her messages. I trusted that she was trying to contact me and I had to find a way to hear her. I worked on that for many years but never really felt I was making any progress. I was uncertain and not clear at what to expect. I was not convinced that it would work, always the sceptical person that I am when it comes to the vague issue of communicating with spirits and being a medium! Deep down I was also quite afraid of the whole experience.

I did not know what to expect, what it would sound like? What it would feel like, and what would happen? The second message was not a written message, but all of a sudden, I knew very clearly, and it was ‘said’ in my mind though not by myself, that I was going to work on a book using her as a source to write it. Or should I say it the other way around, Minon using me as a source. It was very strange and it was my first encounter with anything like this. I felt warm and cold at the same time, but the words just came to me. They just appeared out of nowhere and felt as someone was speaking to me, but in her voice and especially in her tone of voice.

Although we had made this promise to each other when she was still alive, that the first one to die would contact the other, I had not really thought it would turn out to be like this. This experience came out of the blue, and it was a little overwhelming. I received knowledge I never knew before, and she was talking to me. She was feeding me messages at such a fast rate that I had to tell her to slow down. I was concerned with the whole procedure, yet I knew that this was what I had been waiting for and had been working on for all those years. However, who was going to believe me? Who was going to believe that this was not just another made up story? There were, and still are, so many stories about frauds. How will mine stand out from that? Her answer was that she was going to take care of that, in fact, she was going to take care of everything.

How am I going to do this? I asked her.

Just sit and let it come, she explained to me.

I told her I had missed her, all those years, too many years without her. Now I knew she was going to be with me, I felt quite at ease with it, but how was I going to tell my husband or show him? He is another extremely sceptical person who certainly would not believe that you can communicate with dead people. How is he going to take it? Did she want me to let him write the words down or did I just have to go to the computer and type whatever she was going to tell me? It all seemed to have been worked out already. This communication was such a strong and physical experience, but not frightening anymore.

In fact, she joked, What took you so long?

I told her it had actually been a very difficult time for me to find my way through all the rubbish of my beliefs and thoughts, before I could make this step and admit to myself, that I was receiving something. How were people going to treat me if they found out? Another problem I felt was that I was not so much in control. I still do not know what the book is going to be about and I was wondering if I was really going to sit behind the computer and just wait. All these questions, but all seemed to be answered without me really knowing what the answer was. I was at ease, no worries!

Once again, many years later after that second message, I started with this book. There was obviously still a lot to learn. It feels scary, because it means I have made a step in accepting the fact that I am in contact with Minon or other spirits who have left this physical life, and that I believe in my own ability to communicate with them. It is now real and in one way that still worries me. I am also intrigued. I want to know so much about the experiences she has had and I hope she will share them with me. I just sit back and wait and let it all come to me.

Now many years later;

Fast forward another decade or more, and I finally had the courage to publish this book. However, during that time Minon dictated five books, but I lost two of them due to hard drives problems and not enough viable backups. There are three left and this first one is getting ready for me to share with the world. I had already chosen to combine our names and therefore the name, Julia Minon as the author of this book, is a part of both of us. Both of us were needed to write this book and I do not wish to consider myself the sole author of this book. I consider myself just an instrument used to write what she was telling me. We shall see what this book is going to do for all of us.

The italics are the words that I have written on my own, words that either give some information about the setting or describe what I was thinking. The normal text is what Minon dictated to me. You will find that the words light, life and love, are at times capitalised, which is something Minon specifically asked for as they are seen as an important noun. There are sentences in this book that seem long and the expression of the message is less than perfect. I deliberately left some of these longer sentences in as they were given to me in that way and at times it felt difficult to make changes in the editing process without destroying the way Minon expresses herself to me and how I interpret her words. Minon is also often referring to me and my life experiences and challenges. She refers to me as ‘you’, however, most of the time the ‘you’, refers to all the readers, not just myself. She has asked me to keep most of the ‘you’ words as they are, as she wants readers to feel as if she is referring to them. Other times, these have been changed to my name or ‘she and her’.

I hope it will be useful and a step in the right direction for those who read it. May this book help you in your own journey of finding ways to connect with your loved ones. Enjoy that journey, it is worth it.

Julia

I am myself

just as myself is part of the ‘I’.

I am life as well as death.

I am part of the humans,

part of the rocks,

part of the plants,

part of the animals.

I am all part of the greater self.

I am alive,

I am dead.

I am now,

I am future as much as past.

I am part of me and

I am all part of the greater self.

I am the dream,

I am the probability,

I am reality,

I am the night,

I am the day,

I am as much half as I am complete,

I am all part of the greater self.

I am close and far away,

I am seen and unseen,

I am touched and untouched,

I am heard and not heard,

I am all

at once,

I am all part of the greater self.

When you cannot see me,

when you cannot hear me,

I will look at you,

speak to you,

touch you and let you know

I am all part of the greater self,

like you are part of yours.

Part One

Sunday, April 19, 2009

Some time ago, over twelve years now, my life changed when I made contact with what I thought was my spirit guide who turned out to be my friend Minon. At that time in 1997, I was not ready to do more than just hearing what we were going to do. I could not make it happen and later, I did not think that the information that I received was correct. I needed to learn more but I could not find my way to reconnect. I tried and tried but I was on the wrong path. Somehow, somewhere I lost my way. I think I needed the time and a greater realization of how I needed to be in touch with her to make this work. I have now made a change to my life and am starting to write the book that she told me about such a long time ago. Hence, here I am … tonight, ready to start my book, dictated by my friend Minon and my spirit guide, Minrixo, who are one and the same.

I want you to type the following:

There is a sun, a light so bright that nobody on Earth can understand what it is. In this Light you are all one. The Light is part of you, every day of your life. You and the Light are one. The world would be a better place if all of you would allow yourselves to see the Light and live within that Light. Your poor would be richer, and your rich people would feel fulfilled. The world would be a better place if you all lived in that Light. This Light that shines so bright that no one can begin to understand what it means to live in it and live with it. There are a few people on Earth who know the Light and the meaning of it; those are not always your spiritual leaders. The most religious people are not always the ones who fully comprehend the Light and what it really means. I will try and explain it in this book. The start of the book will therefore be about the Light. I am happy that you, Julia, are ready to receive this information and as a result we will try and give you everything you need. I have been waiting for you to get to the point of allowing. You are now allowing yourself to create this book and to write the words that come into your mind. You know that these words are the truth. I know that it is a difficult road to take, but you have now decided to follow that path. There is no turning back. You will be able to receive more and more messages that are important to you and any readers. Your book will allow people to find the way back to the Light, back to what they currently cannot fully comprehend, but what makes sense to them. It will be plain English, nothing mystic and nothing too complicated because everyone needs to grasp this. Everyone needs to be able to read this and say this is something I get. This is something that will allow me to become who I am. The true me, the true self and the true spirit that I am.

It will allow you to understand the work, but most importantly it will allow many others to understand the truth. ‘Light, Life, Love’, that is what living is about and that is what needs to be said to everyone.

I am grateful that you have made the step that allows me to convey my messages this way and that we will be working on these dictations for many years to come. I have a lot to share with you and I have a lot to give you that will be of use to you and your fellow humans. I am the spirit who will guide you into these new realms and you will be taken on a journey beyond your dreams. I know you are tired from your trip and therefore I will make this short, I just wanted to let you know that we have made a start to fulfil your wish and mine. Our book, our process to get to the Light will lead others to the Light. This is why we met. This is why we had to go through our lives together and become such good friends. I am your spirit guide and I will lead you to the ‘Light, Life and Love’. I am Light, I am Life and I am Love.

Save this and we will connect tomorrow again. You will find it easier as the days go by to find me, and hear me and type for me. I am just your words in your head and I am eager to let you do the typing. You will find me here tomorrow and we will continue. I bid you goodnight.

The Light that I am discussing, is a light you think you do not know and yet when you search deep inside yourself, you will get a certain understanding of this Light. I am sure that you are able to have a deep understanding of this Light, as it is the Light that was part of you before you were born. I know that for many people reading the concept of re-birth may be hard to accept, but life does not end and life after death does not mean staying in a heaven or hell or in a Nirvana or whatever you want to call it. Life is a cycle that keeps repeating itself until there is a greater and better understanding of the Light. The creations that come to your planet Earth are only a fraction of the complete life cycle in general. Life has a much broader sense to it, but I cannot describe this just yet, as you would not understand it right now. However, life in the broadest sense is something that is precious beyond your belief and beyond your imagination. This will be a later discussion in this book.

For now, I want to start opening your mind towards believing that I am beyond the lives that I have lived, and one of them was shared with you. I have had a number of lives and I have reached a certain level of understanding. It is certainly not yet the most developed in this place you might consider as ‘heaven’, but neither is it a low level of understanding. I died and left all of you behind only to ‘awaken’ in a completely different world. A place you cannot even dream of, and I have been trying to tell all of my friends about this, but not many were listening. I think that I have not tried hard enough to make myself clear to some of them, it would do them good to start listening. That is not just for my old friends on Earth, that is for all people. It is time you start listening to the voices that you hear in your head. Voices, maybe not all reaching you physically, but supporting you in making certain decisions. I do not mean this in a freaky way, but there are people who do hear strange voices, and some are evil. They make some very bad choices based on what they hear and they act upon them. Voices are never to blame for their decisions though. Voices are around everyone and if people would listen to these voices, they would stop and think twice before reacting. Yes, there are evil voices that try to lead people to react in a bad manner. With a little bit of guidance, this is easily stopped and does not have to be a problem. It should never be a problem, if you are calm and clear in your understanding of the voices. Right now, you hear my voice, not as a voice, but you hear my words in your head and I ‘speak’ them in your head as you type the words. You have no way of knowing what words will appear next, nor what messages I will transmit to you, but you know and trust that the words will come and so it is.

My words are not here to harm anyone, my words are here to help people move on in life and move to a new understanding of the ‘Light, Life and Love’. There are many ways to get there, but I hope to give people a way to find this particular path. When I left my physical body, I was uncertain what to expect, yet I had read all of these books (During her lifetime, Minon read a lot of books on spirituality and life after death etc.) and for that reason, I knew what was happening and I was led to the Light. I learned that this Light is only found when you leave your physical body. However, this Light can also be found when you are living in a physical body. The Light might not be seen as a physical light, but it is felt in many ways. It is felt in your body, in a plant, in a tree, in a reflection of the sunlight as well as in the love that you feel. It is there when you have complete silence and inner peace. It is there in a moment of complete fulfilment and of complete understanding of the world, yet it goes beyond that understanding of this world. When spirits reach the greater understanding in life, they are reaching for the Light. The Light will lead them to the direction they need to move into and they will follow that Light without even knowing it. Trusting in this, is of major importance; trust in the ‘Light, life and Love’ is what makes a spirit grow. It is all about accepting and allowing situations to develop. Let it happen and follow the stream of life. You cannot go wrong.

There are those who fail as they have not understood this aspect of life. Those who have problems are the ones who cannot accept that living is actually that easy. A life fulfilled is a life that trusts, and lets you follow the direction of the stream, which means allowing events to happen and allowing people come into your life. Allowing happiness into your life is certainly of great importance, and you reach that by sharing the Light and love with others.

With every minute of the day that you move away from this idea, is time wasted. Although time does not exist in my present existence, and neither does it actually exist in your existence, it is, however, a part of your physical life, one that you live with but is not real. It seems that this concept is testing the boundaries of your understanding, and it will be discussed in more detail later. It may seem strange that time does not exist when everything in your world revolves around time. Be on time for school, your work, your appointment. Other countries have a more flexible approach towards time, by always being late! But, being late is also part of this complete time issue. Time takes control over many people and can have a very bad influence on them. Time, in your world, should never have been invented; the world would be a better place without time. Just think of what it would mean if you did not know how old you were, because there was no such thing as time. Think about the wisdom that would come from that. Beyond the speed of light …… beyond the limitations of time. I think your world would be a better place if this was possible, however, it is not and you will have to deal with that. I want you to start thinking about this issue and start taking life a little easier, time does not exist. Counting days, months, or years, and worry about how long ago it has been since something happened, is a waste of ‘time’. These celebrations of anniversaries are no needed, the actual date is not important when that happened. What is more important is the fact that there is a celebration, and it should not be related to a particular day, date or month or year. The intention of the celebration is important, the celebration of the ‘Light, Life and Love’ is important, not time! Some people stay trapped in their grief while they struggle through time, time without a loved one, time without the person they hold so dear. I am not saying that missing a person is not a valid ‘time’ consumption, however, it can be an obsession and it can stop life as it was meant to be.

I am writing this down so that the present spirits on Earth can find their way back to the ‘Light, Life and Love’. There are some souls who do get lost in time and who do forget what they set out to do. It is my job to help them get back on track and follow their path. There are so many ...

Interrupted, as there was a knock on the door. I lost my concentration and needed to get back into my meditation state to be able to receive more messages.

There are many spirits on your planet who need that help and have not been able to fulfil their commitment to the Light. Humans always question their world and environment,
