Minstrel in Paradise ADC
I had a roommate who was a 'soul-mate connection' I had met in 1986. (Soul-mate Case #11) We had parted company with a plan to met up again in 1991. I got a visit from a 'veiled' spirit in the Spring of 1990. He wouldn't tell me who he was and stated he was trying to fulfill a promise. He didn't want to cause me grief and wanted to share some joy with me before I received the worldly news of his demise.
Watching a Sunset
The
spirit showed up while I was working on a remote island in the Pacific. It
was so urgent that I make it to Hawaii that I requested a personal leave.
I could feel the presence of this spirit urging me to watch a sunset. At the time I couldn't or didn't want to remember who had given me that promise in the past.
I showed up in Hawaii and this spirit wanted to take me shopping. I thought it was funny because it was taking me shopping but yet I was spending my money with an invisible spirit by my side urging me to buy certain clothes. The spirit wanted me to get a new pair of glasses. It was outfitting me with a whole new wardrobe and spending my money without any regard. I thought it was funny but at the same time - I knew that I had 'bad news' coming my way and wanted to look back on the shopping spree with the laughter and jokes I felt coming to me from the other side.
The spirit wanted me to shop for some old vinyl albums. I told him that this was the 90's and CD's were in and vinyl was on it's way out. He wouldn't hear of it and said vinyl was better because of the cover art involved. Who ever this unknown spirit of a friend from my past was - they had a passion for old time rock and roll.
The spirit of a friend was insisting that I purchase albums I had bought and listened to in the past. I couldn't see the sense in buy albums I had already heard in the past. The spirit told me,
"You may have heard it and bought it before - but you never bought it while I was with you. Believe me - it is going to make a difference in the future. You and I never got a chance to go record shopping together and you are going to want this memory to help you deal with the bad news in the future."
I still couldn't figure out who it was - or - didn't want to know who it was.
I eventually got dressed up and took a stroll along the streets of Waikiki and made it to the beach to sit on a park bench to watch a sunset with this 'invisible spirit' by my side. The spirit told me to remember that he had kept his promise to me when the time came.
In 1992 - I got a hint of who it was and buried the memories. I didn't want to deal with his loss. I kept his identity anonymous for many years to come. I had another 'visitation' from his spirit in 1996 and still blocked his identity from my mind. In my mind, my old and dear friend was still alive in my heart. That was all that mattered to me.
