Hmmm. I had gone into this conversation with some specific questions about Dahlia's life, as she had recently crossed over at a very young age. But the interaction ended up meandering. So I was feeling a little embarrassed, like I wasn't capable of getting clear communication. But these things do tend to have a reason for turning out the way they do, so I decided to go with the flow. I ended up connecting twice, hoping the second time would improve the focus. The first was at the start of a stressful day and my mind felt all over the place. Consequently, I felt like the conversation mirrored that and I wasn't sure how accurately I was getting things. The second time also wasn't as expected, though I felt more grounded during it. My first connectionI asked, "What would you like to talk about, Dahlia?" She was calm, grounded, patiently waiting for me to settle and get focused enough. Then she answered, "The world, the universe, time and space, your day…" Dahlia felt patient, unrushed. She continued, "I have all the time in the world. And so do you. We all have all the time in the world to do what we came here to do. My timeframe was shorter than many, but still enough to touch the lives I needed to touch, put into place the guidance I came to offer, bring together those who were looking for stronger love connections." She suddenly shows me her excited puppy self playing, dashing, romping. So I commented, "Are you showing me that it's not all about the work you came to do, but also the play? That you were here also to show how to let loose and enjoy life more?" She answered, "That's a common human perception — that there is work and then there is play and the work is all-important and the play is there just because; sort of the opposite of work. But the play is equally part of the work. It is another way to do it, and often much more fun and productive. It doesn't have to be mindless or devoid of meaning. It can be purposeful, thoughtful, healing, mind-expanding, transformative. It can be your first choice, not your last. Your best choice, not your backup plan, or only reserved for break-time." "You don't seem especially playful now," I commented. "Your approach is more subdued and serious, not full of enthusiasm and frivolity." "I am simply matching your mood and energy," she replied. "But I am also slowly shifting it. If we spend enough time together, we will end up playing, feeling lighter." "Is that so?" I asked. "It is," she answered simply. "I know my playtime. I know what it is capable of." She said this with pixie-like mischievousness. "So, what was your mission here on Earth?" I asked. "Has it not been clear?" She points to our topic of conversation so far. "Yes, there are more details; personal intricacies. But I think you can get a feel for what I was up to while here." She said this again with a mischievous grin. "Wouldn't it have been more powerful to live a long life and show that even in old age, that sense of playfulness can still have a place?" I posed. "Age does change things. It can tamp-down the best of us, despite our best intentions to remain child-like and vibrant. The physicality of it all…" she trailed off. "No, mine was a mission of a certain time and place. It had to encompass the energy of youth — and it did. Was I in control of it all? I was. Were there things that could have extended my stay? There were. There always are. But they were not part of my plan. We each have the final word on how we live our lives. It is no one else's fault or responsibility or burden. I release all from blame, shame, guilt, and doubt. All is well." She continued, "I am now in the second phase of my mission. The first was in physical. The second is in spirit. What freedom to inspire actions and change!" She was speaking of how she continues guiding and helping her family, but now with a new-found freedom. On earth, she planted the seed. In spirit, she is able to nurture it, help it grow. She wasn't giving me any details about what exactly she is doing for her family; how she is helping or what they need help with. It didn't feel like she felt that was important to tell for me to understand her story. Privacy seemed more important. "Dahlia, can you tell me what it's like to be living and interacting as you do now, in spirit?" "Everything happens in an instant. You think it and it's done. Ah, what most of humanity would give to have that kind of gratification! But then, there would be no mechanism on Earth for learning patience — a very popular tour stop when visiting the planet!" I see her in fast-motion, making strategic moves on a chess board, except it's not a game of chess, but of life. "But how, exactly, does this all work?" I wondered to her. "How do you help people in physical while you are in spirit?" "I was part of the cast, now I'm part of the crew. As a cast member, I am physically part of your life. As a crew member, I may no longer be visible to you — in-person — but I work behind the scenes to help make your experience what you want it to be." I get a visual or knowing of everyone existing on the same plain. I understood that what I was seeing is the spiritual plain. We are all there with each other at all times. And there are what looks like movie sets. We can opt to create any scene or storyline or lifetime that we want. We choose the cast, co-stars, plotlines, and twists. I see the actors on the set, in the limelight, in front of a green screen that is able to offer any scene in the imagination. In the surrounding shadows outside of the limelight is a bustling crew — people who are supporting and making things happen behind the scenes. Holding up cue cards, inserting sound effects, adjusting lighting, preparing the next scene, etc. We can be involved in as many of these productions as cast or crew as we want at any given time. It's this way that we spend many, many "lives" with the same souls. It's this way that we understand the eternalness of it all and why, from our point of view, it is not sad to leave one scene and enter another or to transition from cast to crew. Yes, once on that set, it is a wholly immersive experience. It's as real as it gets. Except, it's really just an elaborate simulation — a dramatic blip in the evolution of our souls. "Quite effective, too." Dahlia capped off this big description with this last comment, as if she were only adding a little something to my own musing. But she is the one who gave me the whole description, sort of like a movie in my head. Then she began again, "So, in this particular movie (this life), I am no longer on set, but am right here — right outside the limelight, in the shadows, doing my thing. To the actors, it's serious stuff. To the crew, it's about constructing an elaborate playtime." "So how is it that when you were here in physical, you still kept that concept of playtime?" I asked. "Dogs, animals… we work on a different level. People take themselves too seriously. They think it's all about them, that they are the center of it all. And really, that's why those roles and opportunities exist. So we let them. We support them. And in those supporting roles, it is easier to play the comic relief or the distraction or the cheerer-upper. At any point, we can switch things up and play those (serious) roles for ourselves in a different life."
