Part Two – Notes on “Almost Too Shy.” From the desk of George Barnard -- August 2, 2011.
Carol A. or Wings (Wingsie) was for six years a contributing member of the 11:11 Progress Group. More than three years ago she was diagnosed with ALS -- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – which causes gradual deterioration of the nerves, ending in paralysis, inevitably death. We all miss her very much.
Yesterday our friend Carol came to mind, clearly, and I figured we might soon hear from her, even though she has not been living in higher realms for very long. I felt somewhat apprehensive about making contact with her, but perhaps I was only sensing Carol’s apprehension, and that would make lots of sense after my routinely receiving messages from many Spirit Friends for almost 40 years.
More than likely this was Carol’s first contact from “beyond the grave”, because the conversation was halting… very much so… slowest ever. It was as if Carol was conducting a telephone conversation, and waiting for me to have an answer to her every bit of news or suggestion. Obviously this form of communication, passed onto us from Angels to Midwayers, is quite new to her, and she proved it by sometimes talking directly to me, and then, suddenly, talking about me by saying: “I am sure that George would be interested in knowing this.”
Delightful! And then she finished her talk by admitting to being known to “hardly ever stop talking.”
Thank you, Carol, for loving all your 11:11 co-workers.

Part Three of Almost Too Shy. A Lesson on Trust -- November 11 (11:11), 2008. Reported by Carol A. Akashic Construct participant and a dear friend now departed.
My eagle friend appeared again, and we began flying together, as we usually do. She began flying very high, and expected me to follow, as I always do, but this time I wanted to fly low, to enjoy the beauty of the countryside, so I changed direction, and flew off alone, down toward earth. Suddenly I heard the words, “You lead. I will follow. From the greatest heights, to the deepest depths, I am with you.”
I smiled, then soared straight up, did a ‘loopty loop’, then came down again. My eagle friend stayed with me, following my every move, effortlessly. I felt such joy, and such love for her.
Then the eagle looked back at me, and I heard the words, “Do you trust Me enough to follow wherever I go?” I answered “Yes”, although I was thinking “maybe”.
She flew toward a very dark, ominous cloud, high in the sky, looked back at me, and I heard the word Trust. She flew up, into the cloud and disappeared. I was fearful of following, not knowing what might be in the cloud, and I had a moment of hesitation, but I trusted my eagle friend, so I followed her in. I could vaguely see her in the dark mist, but kept my eyes on her, and anxiously ascended through the cloud. We finally broke through the top, to a beautiful sunlit blue sky, with birds flying around, chirping happily. It was such a relief!
I saw a smile in her eyes. She seemed pleased with me. I heard, “Sometimes we must travel through darkness, and the unknown, in order to find the light, and safety. Trying to avoid darkness does not make it go away. It prolongs suffering. You are safe in my hands, no matter what obstacles and fears lay before you. I will lead you to the light. I am always with you, waiting for you to call on me for help and guidance. We are partners.”
