Crossing Over
Baboo wants to make sure you understand why people and your great
pets cross over.
When you talk about someone you love who has died, Baboo would like
you to say that they “crossed over”. If you say they died, then that makes
you feel like that person is gone forever. And that is a dirty trick to play on
yourself! If you say they “crossed over” then that is the truth! That means
that they just crossed over from where they were to where they are.
If someone you love (this means your pets too) crosses over, do not
think of them as being gone away from you. They are still as close to you
as they always were.
Do you know that your body is 75 percent water? That means most of
your body is water. You do not see the water, and maybe your body feels
too hard to be made of water, but still it is true! Water is very close to you.
In fact its so close to you its under your skin, and I bet you never even think
about that? And that is like your spirit too, just behind your physical body.
When someone crosses over, they leave their body because they don’t
need it anymore. The water in the body stays here on earth, but their spirit
is free from their old body. I know you get into and out of a car everyday? A
car is just an extra body that you use sometimes to go from one place to
another. When you get out of the car, don’t you cross over from one place
to another, and leave that car body behind? Sure you do!
Well our parents can’t drive the same car forever. And people can’t
drive their same bodies forever either. And trust me, Baboo says you
wouldn’t want too! Ha Ha Ha.
It’s important that you always understand that a persons physical body
is not the person you know. The person is behind the body. Even your real
person is in a way behind your physical body. If a person looses a finger or
toe, or even a leg or arm, they did not loose any of their person, just a part
of their physical body.
Baboo wants you to understand that difference. When you feel happy,
or sad those feelings do not come from your physical body, but they come
from your person or spirit. Your spirit will never stop living. Other people’s
spirit will never stop living.
When a person crosses over, their spirit can be just as close to you as
your own spirit is to your physical body. When a person leaves their
physical body, they are free to go anywhere they want too. That means
they can come see you anytime that you think about them. And sometimes
they will come see you in your dreams. Sometimes they will let you know
they are around you by giving you a smell that makes you think about
them. A spirit has many ways of talking to you, if you would listen to them. If
you don’t EXPECT that they can, then they will not. If you don’t FEEL they
can, then they can not. If you don’t THINK they can, then they can not.
When a person or your pet crosses over, they can see us and hear us
everyday. That’s because they do not have to stay in their old physical
body, and they can move around anywhere they want too.
Sometimes you will dream about someone who has crossed over and
that may just be a regular dream. But if you see this person in a dream and
it feels like you were really with them, then Baboo says you probably were.
And remember, everyone on earth crosses over sometime, and that is
what we are supposed to do. We will see everyone we love in person just
like when they were here with us. And if you pay attention you can know
they are still with you. They can not talk to you with their old physical
mouth, but they can speak to you in your mind with their spiritual mouth.
You can not feel them touch you with their physical hand, but you can feel
them touch you with their spiritual hand, if you let them. And if you can think
about them without feeling sad, you can feel them love you too.
Sometimes when someone crosses over you will notice grown ups may
not talk about them too much. That’s just because grown ups get sad, and
they forgot how to use their own Magic. It’s great to talk about people or
pets who cross over because they will know when you do and they like
that. And really, it will make the grown ups feel better too.
You can choose to remember how much you miss someone, or you can
choose to believe they are still around you. Baboo wants you to use your
Magic Muscle and choose what you want.
