I had an interesting experience this past Sunday in the line of fear and the ability to overcome it. I was attending a funeral of a dear friend’s nephew and on the way was taken by the fear of approaching the open casket. I really don’t like to view a person after Spirit has left the body. As silly as it sounds I shudder every time I have to participate in a viewing. The energy in the room is usually filled with such tremendous sadness and my auric field absorbs it and rattles my emotional senses. I had intended to go into the funeral parlor and find my way to a seat in the rear. Upon entering I realized that the only access to the room was from the front and in order to get in you first had to get in line to approach the casket and pay condolences to the bereaved. As I stood there trying to be cool and collected I found my gaze turning toward the coffin. It was an eerie feeling, a kind of tug of war, because my inner being wanted to overcome this fear and my mind was playing into it. As I gazed at the lifeless form I started to relax. I did not resist the fear, I just started to notice it and it’s effect over me and as I allowed it to be it became less of a problem. It did, in fact, become a kind of meditation. As my consciousness started to elevate I began to notice a ball of energy moving over the body. It seemed to be playing, bouncing back and forth. I then noticed, as people approached the body , the ball started to draw off of there auric energy. I could see streams of white light being pulled up to the ball like dancing fingers.
