Q: (L) Okay, the first question I have is that I have been contacted by this guy named Armando. His son died. The son was born on August 10, 1996, and died on October 7, 2011 in Santa Barbara, California. Now, he has some questions, and I'm making an exception to ask these questions for him because he's really quite distraught. So, his first question - and I'm gonna try to help out with these questions - as he wrote it is, "Did his son decide to go to the contemplation zone, or did he decide to stay here?"
A: It would not be a good thing to be earth bound. Sergio was confused for a bit, but his father's questions enabled him to move on.
Q: (L) Okay. His father asks, "Is there anything I can do to help him?"
A: His father is not in a position to help in any other way than to release and accept his son's choice.
Q: (L) Are you saying that his son chose to leave?
A: At one level, yes.
Q: (L) But it was a terrible accident. I mean, how can you choose by an accident?
A: At the level of the soul the decision is made to withdraw the awareness that normally prevents such occurrences.
Q: (L) So you're saying that when accidents happen, that at some level even if the specific accident isn't engineered or set up, that the soul can make a choice to withdraw the acute awareness of reality that permits an accident to be more possible or probable? Is that it?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And is that what happened in this case?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Why did his son make that choice?
A: He knew what was coming and chose to prepare for the next level of service.
Q: (L) His father asks, "Was his death caused by STS to generate pain and suffering on us and the community just to feed them?"
A: No.
Q: (L) Is there anything you can say to Armando to help him deal with his pain?
A: Death is just passing through a door that is not accessible to the living except on the mental planes. If his father wishes to fully honor his son and his choice, he might do well to use this event as motivation to develop himself in a more fully spiritual way. More than that, he could help others in lieu of his son for his son.
