I Was Asked About Suicide Victims…
Over the past 40+ years, I have given so many readings I have lost count. At least 25,000, I suppose. Some of them were Private In-Person Reading Consultations. Some were Phone Readings. But the majority of them were short (20 minute) Readings at Metaphysical Conventions, Mind/Body/Spirit Expos, and local Psychic Fairs.
I have had the experience of working with many different types of people, and varying types of questions. It’s been interesting to say the least and a proper study of the human psyche.
I remember the first time I was asked about a suicide victim, many years ago. It took me by surprise! But I immediately connected with the victim’s energy. Mind you, I did not connect with the Suicide Victim’s Spirit (as I usually do), but with their Energy.
Let me back track for a minute. As with most folks in this world - especially anyone who was brought up with (indoctrinated into) Christian religion, I was told that it was a sin to commit suicide or even attempt suicide. And that person would burn in hell. I could not reason it out at the time but felt that it was a really cruel thing to do to someone who had no hope with living in the world.
During this first inquiry about a suicide victim, my client had asked me if their brother, who committed suicide was alright. Being the first time I had to deal with this question, it really took me for a loop. How am I going to answer this? How can I tell her that the brother was burning in hell?
But I took a deep breath, centered myself, connected to my spirit guide and openly asked the honest question: was the brother in spirit doing alright? My guide connected me with the energy of her brother. To my surprise, he was not in hell!
However, his spirit was in a deep recovery state and not able to communicate, in fact was not aware in any way. The trauma of the world he had been dealing with and the subsequent act of death had been very shocking to his spirit. And in the Divine’s Infinite Intelligence, was protected at that time until he was able to deal with it.
The Clean Spirit - A Full Life Review.
Not all spirits that commit suicide go into this recovery state. Some who are more spiritually evolved make the transitions completely and are fully a ‘clean spirit’. This means they were able to move through the life review process.
As a spirit normally moves into the spirit world, a life-review occurs as life-issues are worked through, bringing closure which further acts as a cleansing process. A clean spirit may visit loved ones from time to time for various reasons. Clean spirits are of the light.
Spirits choosing to remain earthbound (or some of those who have committed suicide) have not completed this cleansing and closure process. They remain with those on the earth as "unclean spirits," having no peace, love, or joy. In this particular case, the victim remained in the deep recovery state.
Disembodied spirits (ghosts) are in darkness, meaning they are lost. Darkness does not mean a ghost will have ill-intent, it simply means the condition of the disembodied spirit is unhealthy (there has been no clearing/closure). You can actually find several references to this in the Bible.
After Suicide Dealing with Life After Death.
You see, we all must deal with the life we lived as humans. Good or bad, dying of natural causes/accidents or by suicide, we process all of it after we leave our body and this third dimensional world. Many humans have done some horrid things in their lives. Murder, theft, adultery, torcher, you name it. Some go to prison for it, others do not. But in my understanding, prison does not rectify the deed in the soul/spirit realm. We all must review.
And the review takes on a different understanding. You do not just look at what you did. You must relive and ‘feel’ the pain you had inflicted. This would be other-worldly torcher. To me, that would be the hell of it!
Learning Earth School Lessons/Life Escape Points
Knowing that we are here as Spirits Having a Human Experience, we are here to understand Love: the concept, the meaning, the experience of and the demonstration of Love. (Love is the Original Concept - where are things are brought forth.) We have the opportunity to finalize the whole concept of love during our lifetimes (and there can be many). It’s the experiences we have while here that help teach it to us. Sometimes it can be very cruel or difficult. Sometimes we become compassionate from it. But we are constantly learning it.
Sometimes this can become very heavy and grueling. Because of the load of issues we bring into this lifetime it can be too much, and suicide is an ultimate option. I understand we have come here after we prepare our entrance into Third Dimension. We have the chance to preplan, if you will, Life Escape Points - several throughout our lifetime that could be the death of the physical being we are. It may depend on the point at which we have learned the Love Concept. But could also be the point where we have had too much and simply need to exit.
I know, it sounds strange. And I am sure it is much more complicated than I have said. But if you stop and go over your life, you may actually recognize one or two points that you may have died, through accident or illness. (I am not specifically speaking suicide here, but death in general.) I know there were several in my life that could have been exits, related to major surgery procedures that went terribly wrong. But resurrected itself.
So there are many factors that we are instrumental in making during our lives. And as Spirit, before incarnating here on Third Dimension, many of them are determined by us.
I’ve been waiting for this for many years (since 1984)! The old team is BACK!! And I just gotta share it with you! Premiere is March 22, 2024.

In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
