Samhain is less than three weeks away and falls exactly on the full moon of October 31st Halloween! This important festival is one of the two times during the year when the barrier between worlds is the thinnest. It’s opposite is Beltaine which is normally in May. During Beltaine the energy flows from the etheric and invisible worlds into the physical world as spring energy!

During Samhain the energy flows from the physical back into the etheric and invisible worlds. Traditionally this is a time for honoring the dead in various cultures around the world and sometimes strange things happen…

This is especially true this year as Gaia has fully awakened the etheric as the new and dominant energy for the next two thousand years. Etheric or root chakra energy, take your pick. It is magickal! We can expect the veil to keep thinning for the next couple weeks. We can expect more contact with those that have crossed over before us.

Last spring my dog Luci passed over to the summer land and yesterday morning she visited me. I share this as an example of astral activity that is now happening. It was early morning and I was not quite awake and not really asleep, somewhere in-between and suddenly I saw Luci standing there next to a tree looking at me. I noticed her body was a little thinner than before, but younger looking and she was always fairly thin when she was younger. In a way this vision was like a lucid dream. But the real event was her eyes. I looked straight into her eyes and she looked straight into mine. I didn’t have any feeling of shock or fear, but I did get the feeling that I was looking deep into her soul and she was looking into mine. I realized that this was not the Luci that I thought I knew, this was the real Luci and not what I projected upon her. It was a powerful soul shocking experience.

The sense that I had was that I wanted to stay there in her world even though it was dark in the vision. After our eyes locked I woke up a bit shook.

In my entire life I only remember looking straight into the eyes of another being one other time in the etheric or astral planes and it was frightening because his head was down and as he came up he lifted his head and his eyes opened slowly and there was only light in them. That experience was actually a battle of wills and I stood my ground. This was not a battle of wills. It was a recognition of someone that I loved even though it was like seeing the real soul that she was for the first time.

But in this vision Luci’s eyes were dark, like in real life, but filled with energy and power. She was not welcoming or threatening, there was simply a mutual recognition between us. The intensity of this experience stays with me and proves to me that Luci is alive and well and that we still have a soul connection.

Most astral or etheric encounters do not involve eye contact, but are instead in the nature of energy attacks if negative or sexual contacts if positive as in dreams of soulmates. They are not eye to eye and that is the remarkable thing about this experience! This eye to eye contact in the astral is one soul looking deeply into another…
