From Ishmail...

Dearest readers.  It is with great pleasure that I come to you through my little angel and speak with you about the ways in which we live.  I am feeling that there is a great sense of despondency on your earth plane which saddens us all but we are here to prove that there is life after death, as you know it. 

There is not just this life for that would be so pointless.  You are all here to learn and grow spiritually for it is all part of your eternal destiny.  It is a hard plane to live on (earth) and one which is most difficult but you must remember that this is not IT.   I am living proof of that, as is my instrument through whom I speak. 

Love is a great power and one which cannot be diminished for that is all we live for.  Love makes the world go round - not money or possessions.  For without love, there is nothing.  
 

I am very honoured to be able to speak to you all with such wisdom – to give you great encouragement that life does go on after this earthly plane.  Much life.  And much joy. Worry not for what happens in this world for worrying is such a pointless feeling.  What will be, will be, so it is important that you all learn to acknowledge this and just “go with the flow” as you say on your side.  
 

Life can be grey but you must know that there is much sunshine over here, much joy and much hilarity.  But we are all servants on the spirit world. All progressing on our own journeys which is the most exciting journey you will ever take.  There is no death as you know it, just a passing onto another plane – a more exciting plane that is filled with love, light and colour.  Much colour. Colours you can only dream of which fill your heart with song and joy. 
 Please do not be afraid for what will come, for it is beautiful. 

Take solace in this fact and know that life does truly go on.  For you all.  I urge you all to take hold of your spiritual journeys and find your own guides and helpers to work with you for it is what we are all here for.  To help each other.  We are here to help guide you through your life, giving you support and guidance in a way that you could not understand.  But your instincts guide you and that’s what we are – you’re instincts. 
 I know this may seem hard to believe for you all but believe me when I tell you that this is true.

Life is such an exciting journey.  Knowing that this is only part of your journey should give you hope and spur you on to make the choices you need to make in this life.  Choices that will help you in the next.   I wish to share with you one more thought. 

Life is good.  Life is great.  Embrace it with all your heart and know that there are loved ones on the other side who are always looking out for you.  You only have to go and find them.  We give much comfort to man.  We hope we can bring comfort to you too so peace be with you readers. 

I am sending you much love and light and success on our own spiritual journey.  
 

Your loving Ishmail.
