Someone I felt quite close to in my life just did the unimaginable and is now in prison. Friends and others are finding themselves confounded by a wide range of emotions and needing help to find peace.

My dearest Jan. I’m here with my hand on your shoulder and very close to you. So many things are going through you mind and heart these days as you grapple with life and all the events. That is what they are, Jan. Events. Events that are like different parts of a circus that you are both watching and being a part of. The events play out before you and ask that you become involved. The drama that is “John” is especially difficult for you because you care, because you both want to help him and need to find your way to stand apart from him. At what point in the process of helping a drowning person is the action more likely to drown you? This is such a dilemma. You are to play close attention from the deepest parts of yourself. And whatever you decide from that place will be the right choice. Remember that “John” had a choice and his actions are his drama now. You can still love him and wish him well and send him healing energy from the sidelines of his drama. Meanwhile, I am watching over you and being here for you. Yes, I have talked with others who are receptive and able to better see beyond the veil. Sometimes I am so drawn into the drama of life that I want to participate in some ways. But I have plenty to do here, too. Remember well that life does not end, Jan. It changes. It moves into another dimension that has more clarity, more brilliance and also more calm. No wonder so many of us are still so interested in what is going on with you and others. It is where all the action of decisions is happening. You have choices. Choose from your soul view and listen to your heart. Your highest form of compassion for “John” is for his soul growth and you cannot do it for him. He must choose.
