Dear Friend,
Last week David Goddard’s father died…The first thing David did was go onto the Astral Plane. He found his father and helped him to ‘cross over’ – guiding him beyond the level in which souls get stuck and lost. Once his dad was safely in a place of Peace and Light, David returned to his physical body.
I had been assisting David with supportive prayers and mantras.
Later I asked him where this method of helping the dead came from, if it came from the Tree of Life’s teachings. He said “Oh sure it is, by doing the inner journeys of the Tree of Life – also called Pathworkings – you can help others who have died to ‘pass over’. And not get Earth-bound. It takes careful training to learn how to travel through the Higher dimensions, and I was privileged enough to learn this myself from wonderful teachers.”
I asked, “This specific way to help the dead is a secret method, isn’t it?” and David said, “Until recently, yes it was secret! In ancient Egypt, those who did this kind of work were called ‘Steersmen’. And the priestesses of Persephone in Greece did it too. It is the esoteric meaning behind the title, ‘a Guide of Souls’.”
I then realized why David had been so keen for us to share the ‘Higher Worlds – Inner Journey: 32 Pathworkings of the Tree of Life‘ with people – and to offer personal training with him.
David continued, “People skilled in this ancient knowledge are very much needed today. With the growing materialism, many people go through their lives with no thought of the Higher Worlds. So when they die, they easily get stuck. It’s very sad! But, you know, helping the deceased ‘cross-over’ is only one of the many things someone can learn to do as they pathwork the Tree of Life. There are other, glorious things too…Like flying with the Angels.” he said with a gentle smile.
This event helped me realize yet again, how privileged we are to finally have access to these once-secret spiritual instructions and tools. With them, we can all help to heal our world. And bring peace to those on the Other Side as well.
Benjamin Philips,
p.s. I also learnt from this experience the different, almost peaceful relationship David has with death. He doesn’t have the ‘fear of death’ so many of us struggle with…
