078. VISITING CHILDREN RECENTLY PASSED OVER (By Geoff Hindmarch)
In this meditation I have just been to the place where you go to when
you first pass over for convalescence.
I got back to this convalescence area. I walked in and there is a Guide on
my right who I think is Yussef.
I walked straight up to the area where the beds were and on the left-hand
side, the second bed along there is a boy wrapped up in sheets. So, I went
and sat next to the bed and it was a Japanese boy and he told me that must
have been about six, seven, years old. He went to hospital with some form
of illness and that’s where he died, but he didn’t know what he had or whatever.
And he had only been there (Convalescing) two days and he was terribly confused,
because he didn’t know anything about dying. He didn’t know he was sick –
had to die or whatever - and also when he got there it was totally different
to the way he had been brought up, because he had been brought up very, very
strictly and he couldn’t understand these kids running around playing and
people talking to him. Must have been a very formal Japanese home.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed facing me and I held his hands. I was
talking – about all sorts of things then we went out into the garden with
all the other children and adults were. They’d all (Children) got some one
with them.
We sat down at the edge of this garden and we looked down at Earth and I
told him that’s where I came from and then there were lots of emotional questions.
Then you said come back (from meditation) so he got back into bed The guide
was still standing there as he got back into in to bed and then he sat upright
sort of on his knees and said "Ichi". His name was very, very clear…I.c.h.i.
– Ichi. Well, I’d asked him his name before – didn’t get anything and he said
its Ichi – Then just a big smile, as he knew I understood, and I left.
