Hello _______!

First, the spirits of the deceased do not have identical ways and means of being earthbound, of "moving on", or of "going to the light", all of which are figures of speech, no more than the living have identical rites of initiation, graduation, choices of career, and travel itineraries during their lifetimes. While the conception, coming to term, and birth of everyone are similar, i.e. within the uterus and through the birth canal of the mother, they are physical processes similar to the cycles of generation, regeneration, and decay of everything in Nature. The spirit is exempted from these processes and cycles, because spirits belong not to temporal time but to eternal time.

Your ________________ is still very much around and is trying to console you. He is apologizing for something. Was he somewhat gay or involved in some kind of gay relationship? He does not want you to get involved in the investigation of his murder. Instead, he asks you to leave it in the hands of the competent. This might be surprising to you, but, after corporal death, spirits are usually only too glad to get rid of their cumbersome, earthly bodies without caring how they died. Justice, after all, is always for the living and never for the dead.

Simply remember him by keeping a framed photo of him and lighting a candle and offering fresh flowers on special days. You may converse with him; his replies will most probably manifest in your dreams. You may ask him to be your spirit guide; for the moment, he is.

Go through your period of grief, be it brief or long, and afterward continue to live your journey and your life with enthusiasm and with joy. As you age, you will realize that the cosmos deals its own kind of "justice"--it is possible that, in a previous lifetime, your _________________ murdered a young man, and that this was his chosen time for expiation.

[P.S. to readers: I was in the Rehabilitation Center as a workshop leader, not as a patient.)
