June 23, 1954....September 2, 1990
Today, June 23
the birth date of our
daughter Susan....
and of course, I was thinking of her....
and as I sat at the
computer my browsing
led me to an Internet article entitled 'Cosmic
Consciousness' by Richard Maurice Bucke.
Richard Bucke
and his beloved son were separated ...even as my
husband and I experienced physical separation from
our daughter, Susan.
The title caught
my attention so I started reading and came upon
the dedication which I include below.... because
it is identical to what I have written previously
under the same circumstances....and suddenly, I
felt the Presence of this precious daughter....felt
her enfolding me in her Love....and finally today it
seemed the right time to begin sharing our Cosmic
Relationship, hers and mine, with the world.
Here first
are excerpts of the Dedication in which Richard
Bucke describes how the events of his son's
'death' effected him and what he gained from
it....

Dear
Maurice:—
A year ago to-day, in
the prime of youth, of health and of strength, in
an instant, by a terrible and fatal accident, you
were removed forever from this world in which your
mother and I still live.
Of all young men
I have known you were the most pure, the most
noble, the most honourable, the most
tender-hearted. In the business of life you were
industrious, honest, faithful, intelligent and
entirely trustworthy.
How at the time we
felt your loss—how we still feel it—I would not
set down even if I could.
I desire to speak here
of my confident hope, not of my pain. I will say
that through the experiences which underlie this
volume I have been taught, that in spite of death
and the grave, although you are beyond the range
of our sight and hearing, notwithstanding that the
universe of sense testifies to your absence, you
are not dead and not really absent, but alive and
well and not far from me this moment.
Only a little while
now and we shall be again together and with us
those other noble and well-beloved souls gone
before. I am sure I shall meet you and them; that
you and I shall talk of a thousand things and of
that unforgettable day and of all that followed
it; and that we shall clearly see that all were
parts of an infinite plan which was wholly wise
and good
Do you see and approve
as I write these words? It may well be. Do you
read from within what I am now thinking and
feeling? If you do you know how dear to me you
were while you yet lived and what we call life
here and how much more dear you have become to me
since.
Because of the
indissoluble links of birth and death wrought by
nature and fate between us; because of my love and
because of my grief; above all because of the
infinite and inextinguishable confidence there is
in my heart, I inscribe to you this book, which,
full as it is of imperfections which render it
unworthy of your acceptance, has nevertheless
sprung from the divine assurance born of the
deepest insight of the noblest members of your
race.
So long! dear boy.
So now step back with me to an earlier time....
Susan and I had planned
to write and publish philosophical literature that
we hoped would be inspiring.....she would be the
writer and I would do whatever was required to
help her.
September 2, 1990 brought
an end to those plans. Suddenly I was the
writer....
In 2001 with the creation
of this Website, it was planned to have a
section....a series of WebPages.... where we could
continue our working relationship and partnership,
Body and Soul.
I thought, 'I will call the Webpage
The Book of Susan.'
After her departure there were many
late night Conversations with her ...all were very personal and too poignant to
share....and over the years I couldn't seem to find the way....the
words....to share her thoughts with the world.
There was one Communication
that could be shared, written June 23,
2005....but it was never uploaded and it can now be found at the
end
of this Conversation along with the Prologue to
the Book.
That brings us to today,
June 23, 2009...
here then are Thoughts to
be shared coming from a Conversation that day.
Beloved
Mother,
For still I
think of you as 'Mother'....and am allowed to do
so by Those Greater Ones with Whom I work....by
Those I serve here in this Place of more Evolved
Life.
Once we talked,
you and I, about how much you are going to love it
here, how much all here love it...it is all that
Heaven should be....and actually is.
Thank you for 'feeling my
Presence' with you today and for remembering my
Earth birthday. I remember with great fondness all those
many family
celebrations of birthdays.
Here
I celebrate September 2nd....commemorating the
morning I left the earth plane and was transported
to my new home by the Beloved Archangel, Michael.
So much has transpired for me since then....and
for you and Dad....such a Journey we all have
taken since that memorable day....a day that was
so difficult for all of us.
In thinking about how to
present our Spiritual Thoughts to the world, if you agree, may we use
as our format for these Conversations some
of the Instruction given to us, there and also
here, by our Beloved Brothers and Sisters now
ascended, as well as Those Great Cosmic Beings Who
have come from High Places to help us....to help
our Beloved Saint Germain and His Messengers..
(LJC) Wonderful idea! Today I have a
'Voice of the I AM' open to a talk given to the 'I
AM' students by the Great Being we know as
Hercules....it was projected through Guy W.
Ballard August 6, 1938....perhaps we could take
several statements from that as a focus for our
thoughts...beginning with this Herculean
statement:
'I tell you, Beloved
Ones, every one of you must put down all feeling
against each other. If one does something the
other does not agree with, what of it? Pour forth
only Great Love and kindness to each other and
great thoughtfulness and consideration to each
other, as you value your progress. It means
everything to you.'
(Susan) I can tell you
from the standpoint of one who has been there and
now is here....here where nothing
is hidden....not thoughts nor feelings....
I arrived here thinking I
had made such a mess of my life and that
few, other than yourselves, loved me. Though we
can't see the thoughts and feelings of others,
still we absorb them, and feel them as pain and
discouragement and failure at some level of our
beings....and seen or unseen, negative hateful,
critical judgmental thoughts and feelings are
corrosive and do so much damage to us mentally and
emotionally...to the physical body. Much illness
can be traced back to hatred projected to some
part of Life....hate being nothing more than lack
of Love....humanity must give up hate.
I tell you, all that
Cosmic Truth the Hierarchy taught us about Love
through Guy and Edna Ballard is true....every bit
of It....and that Instruction goes on here until
we become the Masters of that Truth...until we see
all Souls as 'friends'.
(LJC) I completely agree.
Beloved Hercules along that line of thought goes
on to say this:
'What a glorious word is
that word in the human vocabulary....True
friendship! It covers the greatest scope in the
Universe. True friendship in which there is not
selfishness, no jealousy, no conditions but just
the Outpouring of Divine Love and Blessings, one
to the other. The greatest thing in the
experiences of mankind is Friendship.
Friends of the Light:
Friends of Its Purity and Perfection; Friends of the Great
Desire for Perfection, which brings It Limitless
Reward to all.'
(Susan) Speaking from my
own experience....being able to look back and see
how adversely affected I was by unkindness in that
embodiment....and looking back to other life
experiences, I was shown how vulnerable I have
been to 'lack of love'...how naive I was.... how
time after time, I lost control of one life
experience after another because of the negativity
projected against me... and each time I left (died) without
having accomplished any or most of what I had come
to do. I did not know how to protect myself.
And so I have come to
have a profound understanding of how very
vulnerable we are, as you say, Body and
Soul....how we really destroy each other by the
withholding of our love....or by not giving it in the
first place....how we can be a Blessing to each by
Truly Loving....through True Friendship, one Soul
for another. For here some of us do meet
again....and we know then if we have mistreated
another of God's children.
I now know how important
the Words and Instruction of the Higher Beings are
as given to humanity especially during the early
20th century. Without it and without the students
use of that Instruction at that time, humanity and
civilization as it was then would have
perished....I have seen the pictures and been
given explanations....believe me when I say
humanity needed then and needs still today all the
Cosmic Teaching it can get and needs, no, must
make Herculean Effort to learn to protect itself
and to expand its own Light, its own Knowledge
about who they, the embodied Souls really are
...otherwise, they are as we say there, 'sitting
ducks'...for evil exists with seemingly nothing in
mind but destruction.
And it is my Goal to be
One of those who will return someday, greatly
advanced in Knowledge....ready to Teach singularly
simple, immortal Truth which is the only Way that good and decent people
can protect themselves from their own
mistakes and from the ignorance of not knowing 'who they really are and
what their Purpose is'.
I learned that from you,
Mother and I will help you spread that Truth.
For now, let us end this
Conversation....
We will take up some of
these subjects soon again.
Always your
loving daughter

Regarding Reasons for These
Conversations
Communications from the
Other Side June 23, 2005
Susan;
'Mom, remind your readers to keep the Powerful
White Light around their entire Beings and
worlds....so that nothing evil can drive in in an
unprotected moment....it matters little how
basically 'good' we are if we fail to protect that
'goodness'....evil wants our Light!'

Dictation by Beloved Hercules can be found in the
