===Opening===
Alana : This is Alana. The [[transmitter]] is having a [[unique]] experience. In the beginning she felt a great wave of [[sadness]], soft, yet worrisome to her because it is always her [[desire]] to bring [[joy]] with our [[love]]. She is used to feeling only joy upon our arrival. I will tell you what this is about: For the first time she has been allowed to feel the message from one who has only recently departed from your world, yet with a connection remaining to those left behind. Through the transmitter, we would take this [[opportunity]] to allow an [[understanding]]. This will not break what is a natural and loving connection. This opportunity will allow for that which remains to be said to be [[communicated]] to your beloved friend.
===Lesson===
The sadness is not for the [[transition]]. It is generally difficult for [[human beings]] on [[your planet]] to understand and comprehend the [[transition]] from life to [[death]], the next step of your [[journey]]. Nevertheless, the next step is real and also a journey toward greater love. The love Father/Mother God has for each one of you is real. This love is no greater during your lifetime than it is after your transition, your departure from the [[body]], your death. However, in your human [[existence]] on a troubled planet, it is exceptionally difficult to [[discern]] [[God’s love]], thus the vital and even necessary role of faith. [[Faith]] in love, even in circumstances of [[pain]] or confusion.
Most human beings have a [[moment]] in time when the [[experience]] of [[love]] is so pure, and so clear, that [[faith]] is born. This can be a [[spontaneous]] and unexpected occurrence, an [[epiphany]], as when for seemingly no reason at all there is an opening in [[the mind]] and heart and God’s love is known, with certainty. This is the [[birth]] of faith. Others come to this experience through shared human love, love passed on to them from [[parents]] and [[family]], or by the gradual knowledge [[attained]] from loving one another in a [[commitment]] over time, as in the love exchanged by [[partners]].
The love between your friend and her beloved husband, whose parting was so quick, and so unexpected, was a love that provided this kind of genuine shared [[faith]]. This love is still real. This your friend knows in her [[heart]]. This message is to [[reveal]] to her that her love continues to reach him, whose journey apart from her has just begun. Yet he is not far away, for by love, he is with you.
So, the sadness that passed through the [[transmitter]] should be understood, not as sadness for what you call [[death]], for truly your journey beyond the body is nothing less than splendid. Yes, there was some [[confusion]] (for him), as the [[human mind]] so quickly entered spirit without the physical [[manifestation]] of the body. However, as is true for each of you, (his) welcome on our side of the mountain was [[gentle]], and filled with an overwhelming love that eased his transition. The sadness is not for where he is now, but the recognition of human [[separation]] from those he loves, and the great pain this separation causes them.
This opportunity has created a shift toward delight. It is easier to release the [[emotions]] of [[human]] existence from our side, when the message of love, [[comfort]], and “Do not [[Fear]],” is known as having been heard by those left behind. This meeting, as it is carried back to him by me, is [[received]] as a sign that all will be well, that you, Norma, his dearest loved one, are moving forward in your life journey with greater [[confidence]] and that you are ready to allow your [[grief]] to gently [[transform]] into a steady [[flow]] of love. You are ready to transform grief into a remembrance of love that nurtures, and over time becomes as the gentle [[fragrance]] of a rose, a gift given freely to all.
The harsh [[reality]] of life on [[your planet]], as an [[earthquake]] to the home, often shakes the certainty of faith in love; shakes the faith that one is loved, or that one can continue to love, when all has collapsed around you. Your beloved’s love withstood all [[challenge]] to his faith in [[God’s love]], and in life as an [[expression]] of love and joy with one another. This love, [[shared]] with you, continues to live within your heart. Each [[step]] you take toward allowing this love to lift your heart in joy is received by him, reverberates and brings joy to him no longer seen, as a stone thrown into the pond sends ripples to the farthest shore hidden from your [[sight]].
It is difficult to know [[joy]] when your [[heart]] is broken. [[Your mind]] is [[focused]] on that which is gone. But he, and I, would have you know and [[understand]] that it is possible to focus the mind on that which is present, here with you on your planet now, [[love]]. Love would have you know that it is not [[necessary]] to count the days, or watch the clock. Do not judge yourself. Your only task is to love, and to [[assist]] others to love more effectively. Your [[healing]] is within; if you believe [[Ta|God is within you]], then you will find the healing that you need. All that is [[necessary]] to find love and healing is for you to go within and spend time in the stillness [[becoming]] one with God’s love. It may not be every moment of the day to begin with, but ultimately you will find that seeking the stillness for a few moments every day will bring you to that point where you know you are walking with God’s love in every [[breath]] that you take, and you are never alone. So, my friends, I thank you.
===Closing===
Sandy : Alana, I thank you for this opportunity to [[share]] with my friend.
Alana : Yes, my friend. My love is a gift to be given, yes? Thank you.
