P A R A N O R M A L I N S I D E R
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Readers:
I thought I'd share a little food for thought about spirit
communication by telling you about a rather astounding
experience I had recently.
My dear uncle, who lived out his life in Hungary, passed
away a few years ago and his passing left a huge hole in
my heart. He was my favorite uncle: a frustrated scholar,
an avid adventurer, and a walking book of knowledge with
a warm and humorous soul. About 15 years ago while he was
visiting us in Canada, I asked him for a huge favor, to
write out our family history. This he did, although it
was a huge and painstaking task, and he gifted me with
several handwritten pages of family ancestry information
and a family tree. This was one of my prized possessions,
especially as no one else was left in the family who would
have this knowledge. Well, a couple of years ago, I
discovered this precious documentation missing. I searched
high and low - for weeks, months, and yes, years. It was
devastating to me that I couldn't find these papers,
especially when I am extremely organized and caring of my
belongings. It came to the point that I was begging and
pleading with the angels, the universe, to help me find
the papers. I consulted my psychic friends, I did spells
and rituals, I pleaded with St. Anthony - all to no avail.
A little while ago I began to speak with my departed uncle
directly, asking him to show me where the papers were. In
the midst of all this searching, I had discovered keys to
an old safety deposit box which has somehow gone missing
and although I have gone to the highest corporate recourse,
there is no chance of identifying or locating this box any
longer. I lived daily with the knowledge that these
treasured documents may have at some point been consigned
to that missing safety deposit box and would never again
find their way back to me. It was a monumental feeling of
guilt, and of loss.
Just before Christmas, I was lying in bed one night and
considering how to word yet another prayer to my uncle.
It occurred to me for some reason to speak to him in
Hungarian. This thought had never crossed my mind before
as English is a more natural language for me, obviously
I guess, as it is the one I use every day. So, I spoke to
my uncle in the darkness, in Hungarian, asking him to help
me find those papers. A day or two later, when I had some
time, I decided once again, to start going through all my
personal papers, files and collections that have grown
to massive proportions over the years. I am a pack rat -
I have kept and filed away every greeting card and letter
I have ever received since I was a baby - every photo we've
ever taken or received, mementos by the score, all stored
away neatly in pretty boxes. I decided to do yet another
search, going one by one through these items and examining
each and every little bundle or paper in what I was sure
would be a vain attempt at locating these papers. Then, for
some strange reason, I had a thought. I remembered working
online with a family tree generator about 10 years ago,
(and 2 houses ago) and realized that I had never since
seen the practice printouts I had made at that time. I had
a strong suspicion that I may have been working with my
uncle's documents when I did those printouts and the whole
shebang may have been filed away together. I thought back
to what else was gong on at that time and remembered that
I had my metaphysical store back then, so I pulled out the
archive file box of my store and business records, and
started going through all my files. My heart just about
stopped when I found an unlabeled folder, and when I
pulled it out, I saw the edges of the fancy telltale
stationery I remember using for the family tree work. To
my amazement, as I held my breath and opened the folder,
there it was - my uncle's letter with my family tree, all
tucked away among my business records.
If I had any doubts about whether my uncle had actually
intervened to help me, they were pretty much laid to rest
in short order. I was doing some last minute gift wrapping
the same day or the next and needing some ribbons and bows,
I reached into a large storage tote box where I keep
reusable bows and such. I pulled out 2 or 3 ribbons and a
faded little gift tag fell onto the table. I didn't
recognize the writing on it at first glance and picked it
up to have a better look. Puzzled, I read the words "To a
dear niece...from Uncle Steven." At first the tag made no
sense to me, because I have no relatives in this country
and none who speak English. Then, it clicked. The tag was
from a gift my uncle had given me those many years ago when
he was here visiting - and he had obviously asked someone
how to write his name and these words in English. And that
would have been the same year I asked him to put together
our family tree.
In the weeks since then (and yes, I have put the papers in
a place where I will always be sure to find them) I have
experienced wave after wave of joy and relief and gratitude
that I have these precious papers back again. And I have
gained a new nugget of wisdom - or at least something that
is important food for thought - that when we try and
communicate with the other side, it is most likely best to
take the extra time and care to explore the ways in which
we will best be heard and understood, instead of assuming
that any old method of communication will get through. I
have resolved to work with this theory and it has got me
thinking about other forms of ritual, prayer, spellwork
and magic - whether there really is a reason to work with
all the elaborate guidelines and ritual or whether simple
'intent' is enough to get things moving out there is the
cosmos and the land of spirit (as I have previously
believed). What do you all think? Please send your thoughts

Bardo and Feedback About Suicide
I am pleased to share below some of our readers' letters
and some thoughts regarding the state of souls who have
committed suicide.
Hello Zsuzsana,
I read several of your email sites and love them. Keep
up the good work.
This may be some help to T. Goddard Moon who wrote to you
about her brother committing suicide and he came and told
her it was terrible there. From what I have read when
you pass over there is a right and a left door. The left
door is for black souls and people who have committed
suicide. It is not a nice place to be. He will reincarnate
fast and if he lives out his next life as he should he
will go in the right door next time and will be in what
we know as heaven.
Donna

This is for the lady whose brother (Steven) took his life.
In order for her to help him, he has to know that he was
sick and not in his right mind, then he can go forward.
To help her to understand what I am trying to tell her,
it would help if she would watch a movie, title, "What
Dreams May Come", and there is also a book by Dannion
Brinkley, titled The Secrets of the Light.
I was told in a dream when my niece and first cousin took
their life, that they were safe in the arm of Jesus, and
I have seem them several times.
I pray this will be accepted in the spirit it is given -
one of love.

A Note from Zsuzsana:
I have been researching the concept of Tibetan/Buddhist
concept of Bardo, which is the state of existence
intermediate between two lives on earth. Wikipedia says
that in this state when the consciousness is not connected
with a physical body, "...one experiences a variety of
phenomena. These usually follow a particular sequence
of degeneration from, just after death, the clearest
experiences of reality of which one is spiritually capable,
to, later on, terrifying hallucinations arising from the
impulses of one's previous unskillful actions. For the
spiritually advanced the bardo offers a state of great
opportunity for liberation, since transcendental insight
may arise with the direct experience of reality, while for
others it can become a place of danger as the karmically
created hallucinations can impel one into a less than
desirable rebirth."
Philosopher Sean Robsville
(http://www.geocities.com/scimah/Bardo.htm) says:
".....After we die our very subtle mind leaves our body
and enters the intermediate state, or 'bardo' in Tibetan.
In this subtle dream-like state we experience many
different visions that arise from the karmic potentials
that were activated at the time of our death. These
visions may be pleasant or terrifying depending on the
karma that ripens. Once these karmic seeds have fully
ripened they impel us to take rebirth without choice..."

Feedback from Our Holiday Issues
Hi,
I would like to know, on the New Year's Eve tradition -
basket full of things you want the New Year to bring -
what do you do with the contents of the basket after you
bring it back into your home. It is a lovely tradition.
My family and I did it last night, but do not know what's
next.
Happy New Year to you and all your subscribers. I enjoy
your newsletter immensely.

Re: "When I was a little girl growing up in the south, my
mother always told me it was BAD LUCK if the new year
found a Christmas tree in the house. To this day, I always
get the tree down and all Christmas tree decorations down
by Dec. 31st."
Our readers write:
I've heard of this custom except that New Years Day was
the day to take down the decorations.
My Grandmother said it was good luck to eat Hog Jowls,
Black Eyed Peas, and Stewed Tomatoes. She often
substituted ham for the jowls. She always seemed to
come up with the money for whatever she needed so maybe
it worked.
My friend has encouraged me for years to take money
outside on New Years Eve and bring it in the next
morning, I had not heard of the basket deal, but I
plan to try it. Liz Ritzie
********************************************************
In my family it was the exact opposite, We made sure the
tree was up! The few years we were convinced to take it
down earlier, the year went really badly. I wonder
where the majority is on this?
*********************************************************
I am also in my 70's and have always taken our tree and
all decorations down before New Year's as my mother
always said it was bad luck to take anything from the
old year into the new.

Feedback About The Star of Bethlehem
The Star of the Birth of a KING!
Hello Zsuzsana,
I don't normally reply to these types of articles but
you struck a nerve on this one. Yes, I do believe that
it could have been extraterrestrial being or craft that
lead the Magi to the new born KING...I do believe in UFO's
because I have seen objects that I could not explain. And
I do truly believe that that there are other beings out
there in our universe. I can not believe that an all
powerful Supreme Being created this GRAND universe and
only put this world with living creatures on it here,
there has to be more. Maybe this Supreme Being chose that
we should never meet other beings from other worlds or
maybe the Supreme Being chose to only have a few other
worlds and/or beings come and visit us. It is really
strange that has hard has we, the human race, have tried
we never been able to locate planets in our solar system
with life of any type on it. Yet, there have been written
documented reports of other visitors to this world for
centuries now. So why can't we believe that a more advanced
civilization could have led three wise men to a newborn
KING, the King of the human race, so the humankind can
believe in a Powerful, all knowing and seeing Supreme
Being.
I will grant you and the readers of this ezine that we do
have some very smart scientific people on this world. But
as you said in the article "none can come together on a
consensus" of what the strange star was or might have been.
Most of these scientists think with only their heads and
not with their hearts as well.
I truly believe in God or Supreme Being, or whatever name
is used by different people on this tiny world. But I also
believe that there are other beings visiting this world
as well, whether it is to study the human race or to
incorporate themselves with us to keep a race of being
alive. I do not know. But until we use both our minds and
hearts, we will probably never know for sure what that
strange star was.
Sincerely,
Mike Mitchell

Hi Zsuzsana,
There was a Discovery show on the Nativity star. An
astronomer discovered by doing research that the Magi
or astronomers in the year 6 were looking for a
constellation that spoke of a King. The one they were
looking for was in the constellation of Aries. It was
a very strange phenomenon. All the planets had to be in
direct alignment (there has since been one other event
recently) and two planets, Jupiter and Mars had to be
in this strange configuration of a star in the sky.
The moon also had to be eclipsed, as in the song "Age of
Aquarius":
"When the moon is in the seventh House,
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then Peace will guide the planets,
And Love will steer the stars!"
I hope this helps to explain what the Nativity star might
really have been.
Bright Blessings, "Kkim"
********************************************************
FYI. Don't mean to be rude, but there were more than three
kings. Also, Jesus was born in the summer months and also
when the kings arrived to see Jesus, he was approximately
three years of age.
********************************************************
a snip from another reader's letter:
Dear Zsuzsana,
I have done lots and lots of research on the Bible, 30
years worth so far, and I can tell you that the Star of
Bethlehem was not a paranormal incident. It was a planetary
conjunction and this was found by astronomers some yeas
ago because they used Christ's real birth date of September
14, 7 BCE for the calculation, not the made up one of
December 25th. This date was adopted by the Christians to
correlate with the Pagan winter solstice festival where
the God of the evergreen tree was worshipped and tress
decorated and food offerings left under the tree for the
God so that this God would bring back life to a dead
looking land.
********************************************************
Firstly, the Magi did not find the alleged child until it
was two years old, (read the book of Matthew) and they
were never in the nativity scene because of the alleged
two years journey. Secondly, there is no true record of
this child's birth. Thirdly, not being Jewish I do not
celebrate Jewish birthdays, alleged or otherwise.
Thanks.
Mike
********************************************************
Actually, the UFO theory is what I have believed for most
of my adult life and then some! Does that make it any less
miraculous or holy? ... nope ... not to me. I just wonder
who Jesus really was ... and maybe someday I will be able
to ask him!
Love and light

********************************************************
As a believer in the ET and UFO theories of the gods and
goddesses, I really enjoyed the lyrics to Chris de Burgh's
song. Makes good sense to me.
I had never heard of Chris de Burgh before. I want to thank
you for turning me on to him. Went on his web site and
really enjoy his music. You have created a fan for him.
Keep your Paranormal Insider coming!
Happy Holidays
Chris Boyette
May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the
angels protect you and Heaven accept you.
*******************************************************
Next week, I plan to discuss dreams and hope to be sharing
some more of your recent letters and feedback ... until
then, all the best and Carpe diem!
