Dear Web,

One of the hardest lessons for me to learn
is to pray for the highest good of all
concerned; I want it my way because it
is hard to watch someone else suffer.

When you put it out to pray for a person,
there are many who will pray for the
highest good of the person concerned;
I think that is the prayer that is answered.

Although we want to keep our loved ones
well and with us, it may be that it would
lead to more suffering down the line; I have
seen that happen where someone's will was so
strong it kept his mother alive even
though she was suffering and only waiting
for him to reconcile to let her go.

In some of Sylvia Browne's books, she
describes the process of planning for life
before we come into it. One of the things
she says is that we plan 5 exit points
where we can choose to leave at any one
of them. If this is true, and I think it
is, then when we pray for a person we can
help them if they choose to continue in
life, but if they choose not to, knowingly
or unknowingly, there is nothing anybody
can do about it. We are all really in
charge of our lives whether we realize it
or not. The veil of forgetfulness causes us
to forget that we planned it all to learn
some lessons here; lessons we chose to
learn.

What I am trying to say is, your mother
is really in control of her life; don't
go by the physical appearances.

Chunyi Lin is helping us be open
to other levels of
our being; we are multi-dimensional. There is
a lot going on on other levels that we can't
possibly know about. You have nothing to feel
guilty about; you did your part in the best
possible way.

I hope this helps and doesn't confuse the
issue.
