The Unanswerable Question Of Beyond

August 28, 2016 By

My pen-name is ISOBEL:   Both my brother and I have encountered Mother (incredibly happy) several times after she died, and I find it difficult to doubt that life continues in the after-death state.  However questions remain.  Scientists more often than not ridicule the suggestion that such a thing is even possible.  Most of my family and friends are embarrassed to even discuss the matter.

But a personal question:  You have said that everyone in that “place” is happy, because the absence of negative energy  (vibrations) in the emotional environment does not enable its expression or even its existence at the individual level.  That is, negativity does not exist, any more than a colour we have never seen could exist in the physical world.  We could not process it and make sense of it.   It would be alien.  However, Des, you are claiming that in the after-death state every human being cozies up and agrees with every other.  Surely historical and cultural and political differences over many generations make that unlikely.

In my life no medium has ever been able to answer that question to my satisfaction.  [Isobel does not come from a principally English-speaking country, so with permission I have partly rephrased her questions.]

DES:    Then you have come to the right door, Isobel.  In that place (which more correctly is a different frequency of vibration occupying the same space) people congregate in large emotional groups.  A natural affinity makes this inevitable.  In other words, love in all its various guises, transforms every human being who dies.  Only in the physical world do we encounter the savagery, self-indulgence, elitism and indifference to suffering that the presence of negative energy likewise makes inevitable.  Only those we have “loved” (family, friends, children, people who have helped or supported or guided us, even our pets) will register on our senses.  Nobody else can even be discerned.

Boring?   On the contrary.  It is fiercely creative.  We re-examine our entire physical life (or at least its most significant currents) together with others in our emotional group.  As we do so we explore ourself;   the various dimensions that make up each individual human being.

In this way every emotionally intimate coming together of people around the world is again experienced by them.  Exclusive relationships are deepened and further lessons taken from them.  Groups within groups within groups therefore exist, ceasing to register with one another as emotional distance increases.

Every individual becomes accountable, responsible to himself or herself.  Every personality is a self-creative organism.

What about the loner, or the unfeeling killer, or the person who has been taught self-hatred?   These people have no option but to love and respect themself.  No other emotion exists.  (If you love yourself, you express that emotion into your surroundings and love others;   a tendency that can be discerned even on the physical plane.)

But a final word.  Immediately after shedding your physical envelope (a bit like removing your shoes at the door), you gravitate away from negativity only slowly, and so merge with Spirit in stages that are uniquely appropriate to you.  A personality in this phase of transition is considered to be neither in physical nor Spirit.

How do I know all this?  I have only to ask, and an answer is provided in whatever detail I require.  That’s what my particular type of mediumship or psychism is of course.  Occasionally I disagree with the response, or even fail to understand – but that is accepted as inevitable.

Questions From A Critic Of Beyond

May 25, 2016 By

QUESTION:  Apparently you “channel” information from the “spirit realms” for the benefit of people in physical.  You also believe we are here on the physical plane, in part, to answer the questions of life for ourself as an inescapable learning process.  That’s what the physical is all about.  Yes?  Therefore what possible use can spirit mediums or psychics be, who take it on themselves to allegedly convey messages from deceased individuals for the guidance of people who enquire?  Has God got Himself in a little bit of a muddle?  This is a question I have never had answered to my satisfaction.

DES:  Then read on, but try to have an open mind.  God, or Mother Nature, or the universe, or the human condition… is perfect.  No tree has ever grown upside down, with the roots in the air and the leaves underground.

Consider:  As I have just “discussed” through my channel, all people in the physical world are here to create themselves second by second throughout a lifetime.  That is, individually they are what they create.  Nobody can create me except me – mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically… We are all given that mandate.  If you want more detail, please read my book (BEYOND).

So where do mediums and psychics fit in?  As part of this creative infrastructure, we all contribute and we all receive;  we all interact.  There are as many ways of doing so as there are individuals within the population, and in the process we all become unique;  unique in every possible way.

John may obtain a “reading” from Mediumistic Mary who can contact deceased individuals and pass on their advice.  Both are being guided by a principle which is an inherent part of the human condition.  John reaches out to Mary and Mary responds.  In that way both people are contributing to the process in which they are creating themselves.

Because there are as many realities as there are individuals on Mother Earth, both the details contained in Mary’s readings, and the details contained in Des’ channelled information are true – even when they appear to contravene.  Each reality contributes to a cycle which builds uniquely.  This is one process through which every human being creates and hones themselves as a unique organism.

Therefore Mother Nature’s mandate gains expression.

(1)  It makes no sense to say that one religion or belief is right and all others are wrong.  (2)  One belief might make more sense to me, and another more sense to you.  (3)  We all create ourself with what we think and feel and do, whatever it is.  It moulds the real “us” inside.  (4)  We are all supposed to be different from one another.  (5)  Therefore it’s okay to believe in different things.  In fact it’s inevitable.

What Is Christianity According To Beyond?

December 20, 2015 By

Question:  In your channelled book, the “authors” in the spirit realms apparently defended the ailing religion that is called “Christianity”.  They challenged your own contention that Christianity is like a dying tree – some parts remain greener than others – and claimed the religion is more like a forest.  That is, because modern-day attitudes change so rapidly, some trees die while others grow to take their place.  Christianity is supposedly an evolving, living organism somewhat like the human race itself, creating itself as it goes.  As people evolve so their religion evolves, because they create it as a guiding influence.

But tell me, “wise” Desmond… Why do conservative and most mainstream Christians disagree, viewing the religion as an historical fact.  History is history.  Most theologians acknowledge Christianity in its historical context.  The Catholic Church is one example, with its one billion adherents.

A vast number of non-Christians (many billions of them – sceptics, atheists, agnostics, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, etc) reportedly see Christianity as a wry pipe dream, not a so-called “sentient thing”, almost a being or creature.  Pretty much everyone in the world disagrees with your authors. 

If they have got it wrong, what else have they got wrong?

Des:  Indeed, if they have it wrong.  Much of the information I have imported from Spirit over a lifetime does not appear in The Littlest Crusade.  The following perspective has been discussed in intricate detail many times:  “The physical world is an environment containing negative energy as well as positive.  In wrestling with the inevitable conflicts, we create ourself – but uniquely;  thought by thought, emotion by emotion, action by action – second by second for a lifetime.  Because we are human beings at the dawn of evolutionary unfoldment, we can understand only a tiny fraction of the total universe we occupy.  Indeed, we will never understand it all.   Due to the physical experience, every person lives within and relates to a different universe, because he or she brings to bear different perspectives and preferences.  He of she is a different universe!  How and why?  Because we all relate to and understand a uniquely separate aspect of “reality”, and because we become less and less alike one another, we progressively create and move into our own analogy or universe or belief structure or perspective…

“Within that place, we continue to individualize, we continue to create mental-emotional landscapes.  One of these is called Christianity.  It can also be seen that there are as many viewpoints about Christianity as there are people who call themselves ‘Christian’ – as there are trees in the forest, dying and being replaced but always part of a changing environment.”

If I am Rejected By Everyone What Can I Do?

September 23, 2015 By

GARTH: Why should I be rejected by all my family members? People look for reasons to dislike me. Why have so many of my “friends” become ill or died, some quite young?

DES: You have attracted to yourself what you MOST need in this lifetime. Once you have adapted/grown to the extent you no longer need those particular learning experiences (once they no longer stress you) you will find rejection happens very much less often. Mother Nature is perfect. Things happen for a reason.

The physical world is the only place where negative energy is present, such as conflict/fear/anger/cruelty/greed. In this place we are forced to go through life deciding whether to do the “right” thing or the “wrong” thing, and in the process we uniquely create ourself. That is, our own free will creates us, moment by moment. Reincarnation gives us one physical life after another. We create a different aspect of ourself every time, and so learn to be better and wiser human beings.

It’s a bit like children at school. A five-year-old cannot suddenly be a fifteen-year-old. Life experiences year after year give wisdom and maturity and sophistication. A fifteen-year-old will express more potential and responsibility. One or two may even progress as far as a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Truth About The Truth Of Beyond

September 18, 2015 By

CHERIE: I found your book a little difficult to understand, probably because my brain interprets information differently than yours presents it. But not so with the website, where I discovered a plane of existence we share. In that place I found unconditional love and truth. I want the best for humanity. This is what I am reaching out for. What I didn’t glean from your book was how we are meant to progress towards this goal – a better tomorrow for everyone.

DES: Thank you Cherie. In physical we each create or build a unique human being within ourself, one physical lifetime after another; but also between physical lives. Only in physical do we encounter negative energy. This enables us to enter into CONFLICT between negative and positive in deciding to do right or wrong, choose between Satan and Jesus in a manner of speaking, reach out to support and console or alternatively focus inwards on self gratification. That is, only in this physical place are we able to gorge ourself on food and then throw away what we can’t eat – while hundreds of thousands of children and their impoverished parents die of the diseases of malnutrition somewhere in the world.

In this manner every one of us grows him- or herself moment by moment depending on the particular decisions we make. This is what physical life is for. We are creating. We cannot help creating. We cannot stop creating.

Every person is a single cell within a large Body, just as the physical you is made up of cells that come together to form Des or Cherie. The difference is that the “Body” you and I are part of, is the Human Race – every person added together.

I have been reminded in the process of talking to Spirit, that every individual cell making up the physical Des, can contribute to health within me or promote disease. In the long term there is no middle ground, because cycles are created in both cases. When I asked the same question of Spirit that you asked me, I was told, “Make a commitment that with every person you encounter, you will look for an opportunity to help, support, guide, encourage, even inspire – in an appropriate manner. That way you are personally doing everything possible to heal within the Body of Humanity. Cycles are being created. You are free. You are whole. The process is called love. You are doing no less to yourself.”

Am I Unique – Beyond The Book

February 25, 2015 By

JON: I read your book and enjoyed it. A question. What information was given to you that has NOT been made available by other writers, in one form or another, time after time over the decades? The same old, tired, recycled concepts appear in book form every year apparently coming from spiritual sources. Same thing, different words, different channel.

DES: I have encountered almost none of the details before. Virtually none that I can think of. Two examples: ONE – At this point in our evolvement or unfoldment, we can relate to only (let us say) one thousand facts out of every million existing on any particular subject. So we put together at the subconscious level only what we can understand; namely a thousand facts out of every million. We all do the same. In this way we individually come as close as possible to comprehending ourself and the human condition and the universe.

But… because we are all unique, with quite different emotional needs, every person in the world embraces a slightly DIFFERENT configuration of facts, and therefore a DIFFERENT belief structure, and a DIFFERENT perspective on himself and his environment. This is so with every single aspect of life. We all occupy a different world.

As a result every person becomes less and less like every other, so that the process of uniqueness gains momentum – with every single second and emotion and thought and activity. Individualisation, in other words.

The natural law of individualisation is an aspect of human evolvement that is equally as important as spiritual evolvement (in which we progressively grow to become a more loving, complete, mature, pure, compassionate unfolded unit of consciousness).

This viewpoint has not been seen before. There is a time for everything. The time is now.

TWO – There is no complete male and no complete female. We are all “positioned” on a continuum. As such we all possess a unique mix of male and female energy. Every human being is a “one-off”. Interestingly, though, the species is exponentially becoming more sensitive, incorporating more nurturing female energy and less of the sometimes brutish “might is right” male energy. We are moving along the continuum. This will continue.

Again, I believe this interpretation has not been offered to us before. There are many, many premises in BEYOND, that can make the same claim. One includes a succinct explanation from Spirit of the end result of these principles: What will become of us! What is our individual and collective destiny!

Is God Bad? A Question For Beyond

August 30, 2014 By

NO NAME GIVEN: Here’s something for your Blog. I’m neither [a] sceptic nor a Christian, but I have a gripe. God, the sadistic b…..d, can stay out of my life. I’ve read the parts of your book I can understand, and nothing you say can explain why I lost two teenage sons in different car accidents, and it wasn’t their fault. We turn on TV [Aljazeera presumably] and watch nothing but slaughter in Iraq, Syria, Gaza, parts of Africa and elsewhere. Most of the fighting is religious. Many of the victims are children. So much for God, or “Mother Nature” as you call Him/Her/It. Now I have cancer. Does anything make any b….y sense!?

DES: It’s easy for me to sound wise from a distance, when it’s someone else who is suffering. But genuinely I understand what you are saying.

I guess we’re a bit like little guys building sand castles on the beach. The parents let each youngster create a castle so he can immerse himself in his activities and learn as a result. Mum and Dad can’t create sand castles on behalf of their children, and learn for them. When the tide comes in and washes away all that careful work, the kids have another lesson to ponder. That’s how learning proceeds

It’s the same for all of us. I am creating myself second by second, and thought by thought, and emotion by emotion, and activity by activity. Nobody can create me except ME. That is my mandate for as many heartbeats as I am here. In other words, that’s what I am doing in this place. At the end of my life I am what I have created.

The same with you. But exactly what is it YOU are creating? Are you exporting peace and love to those you encounter? Are you inspiring them, or providing a role model so they can be more complete human beings?

When the tide washed away your sand castle (when you tragically lost your boys, and then contracted cancer), did you take the opportunity to reach out to others similarly afflicted, and support and comfort them? Or did you just walk past that window of opportunity? Whatever you did, you were creating. You were creating YOU! You cannot avoid creating.

People who are particularly prone to cancer include those who are unhappy or disadvantaged or angry. There are many exceptions (as with children), but cancer can go by the name of hatred, resentment, self-loathing, guilt, lack of control of one’s life, deep sadness, being profoundly self-centred. Apart from medical or complementary/alternative intervention, what can remove cancer from one’s MIND and body? You guessed it: making use of every opportunity to help another person – as a matter of habit. That will make you free. It will make you whole, because you will be creating something DIFFERENT within yourself.

What Is The Physical World According to The Book Beyond?

February 7, 2014 By

Margaret Mills:  A philosophical question I have encountered over the years goes like this.  In a world that is ordered up by the intricate perfection of nature why are we never given unambiguous, absolute and unarguable proof of life after death?  This level of evidence could change the nature of the human condition, make every person free and safe and “immortal”, and even make the fighting cages of religion unnecessary.  Common sense suggests that if some measure of proof is offered by mediums and others, then total proof must be available.  Why is it withheld?  Skeptics come up with their own answer:  Forget the mediums.  It is all just a trick of the mind or wishful thinking.

 

Des:  I am told that the value of the physical world is that it encapsulates each of us, entraps us in a cell of aloneness in which we are never safe, never comfortable, never in control, never complete, and never in possession of the facts making our circumstances understandable.  In this fraught and toxic place we must struggle to survive.  We must also search ourself in order to find answers to the many dilemmas we face – for in doing so we define and create our own uniqueness (a dimension of growth as important as spiritual evolvement).  We contribute to this process second by second, emotion by emotion, thought by thought, action by action.  We put our own interpretation on every event and every moment.  Unanswered questions are part of this.  Compared with life in spirit, growth is almost instantaneous.  At the end of our physical life we are what we create.  The aloneness ensures every human being is different from every other.

 

None of this can be done after our death, in the gentle estates of spirit where mind flows into mind and where support and love replace the sometimes brutal conflicts of physical.  These are the two sides to the human coin.  Each is infinitely precious, individually as well as collectively, in the unfoldment of the species.  Very much more detail is to be found in the pages of BEYOND.  (Incidentally, religion is simply another way in which emotional programming, personal interpretation and free will feed individualization.)

Fascinated by The Truth In Beyond – The Book

November 21, 2013 By

My name is actually not “John”, but that will do.  A group of us in a writing course discussed the fact your book contains perspectives and carefully delineated details which apparently have never before appeared in the field of esoteric literature.  Many books have been written and many theories discussed, but nothing similar to yours.  Question.  Why should yours be true which makes many other authoritative studies untrue?

 

Des:  Okay.  My background is like a coin with two sides.  One side comprises an (electronics) engineer, and the other a neurotherapist.  Theology and philosophy are way over my head.  As mentioned in the book, I am the postman delivering mail that has little to do with me personally.  My role involves “channeling” information from people who have died, very much like taking dictation.

 

Why is “my” information different?  It was obtained in a different way.  Throughout many generations communication between physical and spirit was achieved by psychics or mediums.  I am one of them, and have been since early childhood.  In addition, however, I encountered a neurotherapeutic trance modality, recently developed by research psychologists in the US, as part of my clinical practice.  Alternative to mediumship, trance neurotherapy (IADC) can be used to bridge the gap between physical and spirit.

 

The two techniques had never been combined until, in consultation with Dr Botkin, the research scientist who produced IADC, I developed protocols and a delivery mechanism enabling IADC to be used by a person on him- or herself.  My lifelong mediumship plus neurotherapy made possible what neither technique alone could achieve.  The Littlest Crusade resulted, published in the US in 2012.

 

But why was completely different information, a different model or paradigm, abruptly and unexpectedly thrust into consciousness as a result?  Did it not come from the same source, namely spirit personalities who provided answers to questions?  Those people themselves provided the answer:

 

“Many books containing philosophical information channeled from spirit (eg. Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Roberts, Ruth Montgomery, Dr Ian Gordon) comprise broad and sometimes undeveloped models which rely in varying degree on theories and concepts more or less known to people with an interest in the subject.  A particular explanation is picked up by the mind of the medium, and put into writing.  However – with additional detail received, in this case from the neurotherapeutic modality, not only is the account from spirit fleshed out, but also a quite different and much more comprehensive description is available.  The list of books in question contains accounts that examine a particular reality.  With the availability of more detail, a totally different reality moves into focus and becomes available to explore, because more adequate analogies are present to unfold the descriptions.”

 

My dialogue with the Communicators had previously discussed the fact that nothing (but nothing) significant can be understood about the human condition unless one resorts to simplistic analogies;  furthermore analogies that invariably are lumped together into models, and models fused into infrastructures.  This process is made inescapable because only a tiny percentage of the total facts, relating to any particular subject, is knowable to human intellect.  That is all we are.  In putting it together into a package we create an understanding of what the world is, our place in it, and ourselves.  We are that package.  We are an analogy.

 

BEYOND discusses a completely different package than has been encountered in the past, because it draws on a very much larger data base.

The Most Profound Answer in Beyond

October 25, 2013 By

Joshua:  It interests me that you can ask a question – apparently any question – and are given a detailed answer, that you are invited to explore in whatever depth you wish.  What is the most profound answer you have received?

 

Des:  What I think is profound another person might find boring.  But two responses come to mind:  (a)  “We all create, we cannot help creating.  Consciousness is the act of creating at every level, and the means to do so.  Furthermore we create according to our needs, individually as well as collectively.  Those needs sometimes lead us to create, collectively, either a person or a concept to guide us.  We are steered by our own hand, unfold ourselves, and contribute to the orderly growth of our species.”  On another occasion I was told that “every human being is a universe, creating itself, fleshing itself out, second by second and thought by thought and emotion by emotion and action by action and flight of fancy by flight of fancy.  This is an indication of the ultimate importance of every  person.”  The Littlest Crusade goes on to discuss the end game, the outcome of every individual journey.

 

(b)  Another strange, strange answer is as follows:  The physical communities have pondered and discussed from time to time the so-called mystery of the Holy Grail.  What is it?  Authorities of one type or another point to the possibility this mystical object – reportedly the most precious possession in the Christian world – is an ornate container that was used to collect the blood of Jesus as he died on the cross.  Another claim is that the Holy Grail is a stone beyond value that fell from the sky.

 

But why, why, why do “experts” embark on such lavish excursions into the imagination when the facts have been explained in plain words for centuries, to anyone who will listen?

 

Yes, the Holy Grail is infinitely precious, and transforms the life of anyone holding it.  “The Holy Grail is possessed by any person, no matter how humble, who heals, forgives, supports, comforts, counsels and feeds another without thought of reward. Now I have a question for you, Des.  Why can your fellow travellers not understand this?  Why do they so stubbornly blind themselves to this simple truth that would change the world?”  I provided no answer.
