Bill is just an ordinary guy who has had extraordinary things happen to him since the passing of his son Greg. Susan writes it all down. The Calgary, Canada affiliate leaders are on an amazing journey with their son.
ONCE UPON A TIME
As we enter a New Year, it's the perfect time to talk about time - because there is no time.
I don't mean there's not enough time in the day or I've run out of time. I mean that time itself does not exist. It is an illusion.
You would be forgiven if in response to this statement you said, "Wait a minute (I'm noting your interesting choice of the word 'minute' here)! I see the hours advancing on my clock. I see the days pass on my calendar. I look in the mirror and see the effects of the passage of time. There IS time!"
For many Shining Light Parents, myself included, the transition of their child to the other side has launched them down the rabbit hole on a mind-bending journey of discovery as the wonders of the Universe unfold.
Ten years ago, only months after our 27-year-old son Greg passed and my husband Bill was early into his discovery that he could communicate with Greg, it was one of the first questions I asked my son through his Dad: "Does time exist?"
Bill heard Greg answer me in his wise Yoda way: "Patience you must have." I was going to have to wait for the answers to my questions.
In the years since Greg left this Earth, the mystery of time has been one of the topics that fascinates me the most, and although I'm by no means an expert on time, I've learned more about it as time has passed. The main thing I've learned is, there is no time.
Based on what Greg has told us and what I've learned, I believe that time is a creation, or construct, of our Creator to help us mark the passage of our story. The whole point of being here on planet Earth is to learn and grow our souls, and the perfect way to keep track of our achievements is to live in a place that allows us to look back and measure our progress over time. Only time will tell if we've achieved what we set out to do in our soul plan.
Greg has told us this about time in a message channeled by Bill: "Time is an illusion, but the timing you find yourself in is happening exactly as it is supposed to happen. Nothing is late, nothing is ahead of itself. It is perfectly timed to happen as it is. God is in charge of this timing and it cannot be altered without the consent and input from God, the Divine. Source knows the timing of all as it should roll out exactly as it was meant to be.
"Nothing happens as a coincidence and all is planned exactly as it has been ordained for the Earth and its galaxies and universe. So accept the timing of everything is exactly what is occurring and will occur when it's meant to occur at its appropriate time. Nothing is a mistake, and your timing and Mom's and (Greg's sister) Kristin's and all others is personal and required for the moment. Timing, what a construct, yet unavoidable from your perspective."
Not only is time an illusion, but all time - past, present and future - is happening at the same time. That's a real mind-bender, but Greg has confirmed it: "Where I am, all times are present at all times. Makes it very interesting based on what time you focus on. You do not have that luxury in your reality."
Our children on the other side know there is no time because they live in a beautiful place of pure consciousness that transcends time. The old proverb "There's no time like the present" perfectly describes where our children are, because they're living in a constant state of now, the present moment.
When we shed our physical bodies and ego, we shed our connection to time and become timeless. As the eternal and infinite beings that we are, we only have RIGHT NOW, and what you are thinking and feeling right now determines your path. We have the power to choose which path we're on.
The best way to navigate time is in the present, and there is no present like time, because time is a gift. Greg has told us this: "We have forever, because we are eternal beings. But time is precious, especially on Earth, because it is finite. Make the most of it."
While we live in our 3D world on Earth in linear time, our children on the other side want us to have the time of our life!
In next month's column, we'll tell you about how Greg is able to see our future, and says he's already read the columns I haven't written yet!
If you want to hear more about our amazing experiences, Bill and I have twice spoken to HPH and the videos are available on the HPH YouTube channel: click here HPH welcomed Susan & Bill Van Oije, 'From Wow to How!' for our video detailing the beautiful messages Greg gives us about how to live our best life in this very challenging place and grow our souls, and click here On February 3rd, Bill Van Oije spoke to Helping Parents Heal for the video in which Bill shares some of the astounding signs we've received from our son.
