What Message Might Those From the World Beyond Send Back to Us?

I just finished a book called, "The Message." It is about a man named Lance, who battles a life and death illness and has the opportunity to see what goes on beyond the veil for a short time. I read the book many years ago, but was happy to be able to reread it again especially, since my Father will be heading that way in a matter of God's time. After pondering several points, a few messages stood out to me: How do deceased family members affect the lives of their descendants (genealogy) and who are your guardian angles.

I know that genealogy is one of the many check off items that we are commanded to fulfill in this life time. I have learned thru the many years of attending church and our prophets’ messages why the importance is placed upon us while we are on this earth. Reading the book has helped reinforce those reasons. The book’s message expresses how when we are on the other side there is order in all things, a plan is already in motion on who greets you when you pass away . The spirits who reside in spirit paradise help those newly entering the veil. Visits with the new spirits are visited by those spirits who knew the person either before their earth life or during their life, while also meeting generations of their family. We can understand from this point that family members through its linage is linked to each family member; it does not matter how long in between each member actually communicated within this life or past or how many generations that individual falls in order on the family tree. Without helping each other (both sides of the veil) neither of us can move forward within God’s plan. "It is the mode of Heaven. We serve them, they serve us." (The Message p.54) How great is it to know we have spirits waiting for us to help to fulfill our work on the other side and to help us guide those we love on this earth.

The second most profound point is the question: what is the role of family on the other side?  Righteous humans die with a purpose to help his/her family on this earth while they are on the other side. Let me clarify, all spirits in spirit paradise help us on earth. But the “The Message,” stresses that many of those who die for instance at a young age or even not have offered their life so that they can better help their family from the other side, in turn if they stayed on this earth they would not be able to give the help that is needed to their loved ones in mortality. ".. many wonderful spirits are being called home now, so that they can better help their families prepare for that which is about to take place in the world. One of the major reasons spirits are called back is to serve those in mortality." (The Message p.86) What a blessing, if you look at it this way. I hope that my Father becomes my little cute niece’s guardian angel. Knowing or just pondering this thought, helps bring so much peace to me, especially when his time on this earth is through. Even though I will miss him, I know she will need him more. How lucky to think that she’s got him.
