Anyway what I’m getting at, is I believe actually both cats are still here, and now are more in my life than they were before. Cats are very special, and I think there is a legend that they chase evil spirits away. That could very well be true for us.

Now, here’s the twist. I have this Angel Kitty cameo necklace. It’s a real cameo, so it is still like new and I know it will last a long time, in fact I have already decided Melody will inherit it whenever I die. I have had this necklace for a long time, long before any cats died in my life. Except for a little black cat I had a really really long time ago, and I only had it for a couple years. Melvin got the necklace for me back before we got married. For the last couple years I have never taken it off, originally because I almost lost it and I feared I would lose it again. Now I just feel like it’s a part of me. It has grown more and more symbollic of spiritual things. I will try to upload a picture.

So the moral of this story is, there is an animal heaven, there are animal spirits who help us just as much as spirits of other forms. I loved my kitty and I know she loved me. I am sad that she won’t be following me to the mailbox or watching Anna get on the school bus anymore, but I am glad now she can be in the house and protect us. (Melvin is allergic to cats and has athsma)

One more thing, my next goal is to find a hypoallergenic cat. I know there are some that cost almost as much as a car. I’ll have to save up, but I’m not in a hurry to get another cat just yet.

Lance is grieving the loss of his daughter. Melvin is writing an essay about it, and it will be in the articles to download section. Lance shared a spiritual experience he had recently: (Lance, I’m going to just summarize, let me know if it is inaccurate)

He had fallen asleep on the couch one night and was alone. He heard a voice that sounded like his daughter but not at an age he ever heard, and she sounded happy. He woke up, but fell asleep later, and was in that sort of barely asleep stage (I am familiar with it and I believe I once had an out-of-body experience during that time- I’ll explain it in another post maybe). So anyway he saw a light on and there was a young woman, not his daughter, and she sort of “brought out” his dog who died 3 weeks before his daughter. He was alive and licked him and Lance could smell him. When it was over, he could still smell his dog.

The smell is a very good sign. Melvin will tell a story about spiritual smells, when he comments on my blog. I have a very sensitive nose too, and I smell spiritual things. Often times I smell flowers when there is a good spirit or maybe an angel nearby. I smell my grandma’s house sometimes (I actually thought once that our house smelled like hers, but her house was very old, from the 1800’s and our house is only 5 years old) and then I got a message from her. This is kind of a side story, but I must share it. Melvin and I and our kids went to a Spiritist Conference in Florida, and there was a woman I never met before, who was walking by, coming out of the conference room and I was just standing outside the door. She just stopped and told me my Grandma said that everything was alright and (the woman pointed at my toddler Melody) said that I now have what I lost. Another woman walked up to me and said she had a vision that I had a miscarriage in the past. I had, it was the pregnancy before I had Melody. She said that Melody was the same child.

So to make a long story short, I’ve learned a lot of spiritual things that are very good evidence of the reality of it, one of them is that smell is a very good indicator.

Okay one more story. We used to have like 7 or 8 smoke alarms all through the house. We also have a heat detecting fire alarm connected to our alarm system, and we also have a plug in carbon monoxide detector that came with the house (I suppose because we have gas heat). Anyway we have taken down all of the smoke alarms except the one connected to our alarm system and the CO detector. When I was a child there was a fire in our apartments. Half of our building was burnt down completely, we were the second from the end that didn’t burn. The very next apartment towards the burnt half had to be evacuated because of smoke and water damage. We didn’t have to move, but for a long time you could smell that wet burnt smell and it haunted me. I was very young, but I think someone died in the fire. Our apartments had the kind of fire alarms that were big red bells in each stairwell. There was one just on the other side of my bedroom wall. That one had a short in it, and sometimes it would just go off for no reason. It became the object of a lot of anxiety when I was a kid. My mom still lives in that apartment, 30 years later. They have fixed that bell and replaced parts, and even changed the whole system to where you have to call the fire department (It used to be automatic, but there were too many false alarms). And to this day it still shorts out sometimes. Anyway back to our smoke alarms in our house. One night I had some kind of dream, I can’t remember now, but I smelled smoke, and that old burnt smell. Then we were woke up by all of the alarms going off, and there was no fire. They weren’t steady going off, they were all just beeping and beeping. The last one Melvin took down, still beeped after he took the battery out! After I got over being so shaken by it all, we talked about it and I realized there really was a boy that died in the fire. I even wonder if he was around, or with me for all these years. I can almost say I know what it feels like to die in a fire. It seemed like he was satisfied after that day and I haven’t felt him around anymore.

I hope this isn’t too much. I have had a lot of spiritual experiences in my life. I guess that might have something to do with my soul mate ending up to be the leader in near-death studies, and spiritual science.

By the way, there’s a pattern in our experiences when we take these trips. Melvin has his talks, and usually it goes great and he meets new great people, and learns things from them. In the meantime, I have experiences that seem to have a spiritual nature, that have a big impact on my life. So then together we grow in leaps and bounds.

Here is what I experienced and learned from our trip to Belgium.

Getting there was an adventure. A friend of ours had sent us a map of some interesting places to see in Brussels when we arrived there. So we decided to do that and meet our hosts at the end of the little tour. What we didn’t think about was we would be bringing our luggage with us on this walk. At least there was one less bag to carry, it was my clothes, and it missed the plane, and was due to arrive at our hotel the next day. When we got to the end of our walk, we were a block away from where our hosts were waiting for us, and missed them. We forgot the information back at home, and thought it was the square by the big radio tower, but it was the street. Anyway, then our friend who told us of the places to see, came and saved the day, and took us to our hotel in Liege. So at the end of the day, we remembered all the great things we saw, the people who helped us along the way, like gifts from God, and the adventure of it all.

This is because in the last year or two, Melvin and I have discovered God’s sense of humor. No, He’s not laughing at us, He’s teaching us to laugh. It’s important to laugh, and in this we learn to recognize it, and in turn recognize when it’s not God, or the Universe. By the way, this is more evidence that the Universe is conscious. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about, it’s my favorite story to tell. Coming home from our last trip to Florida, we were planning to visit the Savannah Lighthouse in Georgia. We got there on a Tuesday. When we get there we find, very prominently posted, more than even the name of the lighthouse, were signs that said “Closed on Tuesdays”! What’s so special about Tuesday? Must be “The Morses Visit Savannah” day. This kind of thing happens to us all the time, especially when it comes to visiting lighthouses, or another favorite thing for us to visit is old Forts. This happened to us in Belgium too. And even this time I predicted it. We went to visit this Fortress, I think it was in Wallonia. It was a long climb up the hill, pushing a stroller with Melody too. When we were almost to the top, I said, “Wouldn’t it be funny, after we came all this way, for it to be closed?” And it was. But we had a great time too, we collected a bunch of pretty fall leaves, and had a great talk with our new friends. So anyway, I’ve learned a lot about the personality of the Universe. I call it humor but it’s like a lovable irony, if that makes any sense?

So anyway, I feel I have to mention this, I also met someone, I felt was a spiritual twin, or something like that. You know who you are, and I think your mom might have told you also. It was the strangest thing. The moment our eyes met I recognized her. And it seemed like she recognized me. By the way, we’ve never spoke. Here’s another funny coincidence too. I didn’t know at the time she was the daughter of a couple Melvin and I met and went out on a trip with. I told her mom all about this strange encounter, I don’t even know how the subject was brought up. Then I we went to meet her daughter, and there she was!! Anyway she’s 18 I think, and I’ve never been to Belgium before, and never to Europe until a couple years ago. And I recognized her, exactly how she looked right then, but at the same time I had a vision of her being born. I think I met her just before she was born, during a near death experience I had. I think I would have been about 17 when she was born. I may have nearly died then, I’d rather not explain how, as that was a very low time in my life. But I never knew or remembered until I met this girl.

Now that reminds me, someone has asked about the spiritual experience I was talking about in the previous post. By the way I’ve had many spiritual experiences. But when I was 7 I know I had a near death experience. I nearly drowned in a lake. My best friend and I were playing at the point where our feet could barely touch and we couldn’t really swim that well, but we were daring eachother to go further. So somehow we got too deep and started to drown. I haven’t talked to her since I remembered this, but I’m thinking about contacting her again. Anyway, someone came and carried us out. It was a big tall woman, I thought she was a lifeguard, but now that I think about it, if it was, there would have been a big emergency and everything. I know I was unconscious at some point, so I would think there would be CPR and everything, but there wasn’t. I just woke up hanging over the shoulder of this woman, and my friend on the other shoulder. She took me over to a blanket on the hill, I can’t remember if it was mine or not, but she told me to lie down hill and let the water come out, and it did, it just ran out of my mouth. So that’s it, that’s all that I remember. I know that the relationship changed with my friend. We were still friends, but we played differently.

What happened while I was unconscious I can’t remember. I only remember the light. The wonderful, beautiful, warm peaceful light. I remember it when I see the sun glistening on the surface of the water. I know I’m not just remembering the sun shining on the water, because that would be a negative memory. I did have a fear of swimming for a long time, but I still loved to sit in the bath, or kiddie pool. I have a picture, I’m going to see if I can find it, I think it looks like the light I saw, it looks like heaven opening up above me.

Anyway, I think this post is getting really long now and I should finish. Thanks for reading!

With all this new science and the fusing of spirituality and science, I have forgotten to mention something very spiritual I know, and may even someday see scientifically proven. And that’s that it’s all about Love or the absence of it. In other words, what I think you will see through science, is that love has been the fuel, the catalyst, the fluid that keeps things moving. I think it’s more like a fluid. Any of you who have had a spiritual experience, if it’s anything like mine, it seems like that loving light is fluid. Or maybe it looks like the sun shining through some kind of crystal water.

Anyway, wouldn’t you say, that when you have a spiritual experience, there is love. When healing happens, there is love. Finding your soul mate is a spiritual experience. When I met my husband, we got healthier, and even seemed to get younger. Our mental scars were healed too. It was like all the opportunity of the Universe had opened up again. We saw all the possibilities open up before us. I remember thinking, wow, there’s so much I could do! It’s like I have my whole life ahead of me! After about the first year of our marriage, maybe a little earlier, I even went through a time where I was finding my own style, as if I was a clean slate (not like with the old relationships where I just adopted the likes and dislikes of the other which weren’t my own). I was deciding to dress better, I had my hair cut, and realized the most spiritual music I know of is Reggae. The Roots kind of Reggae.

Babies are new to this manifestation of reality. They are still used to heaven, what Melvin calls “non-local reality, or the conscious universe, or the realm of all possibility and information”. Babies have the most pure love you will ever see in this life.

I could go on and on about the consciousness of the universe, but I believe that it’s love that gives it life. Love is what motivates us, it’s what makes us live, babies die without it, actually anything would die without it, in time, I think. And like I was saying before, I think that God is the spirit and the universe is God’s body. They say God is Love, therefore that must mean that love is the hand inside the glove of the universe. It makes sense to me.

So anyway thanks again for taking some time to read my blog about the spiritual side of science.
