Orientation
    AFTER those entities who meet us during our homecoming have dispersed, we are ready to be taken to a space of healing. This will be followed by another stop involving the soul’s reorientation to a spiritual environment. In this place we are often examined by our guide.
    I tend to call the cosmology of all spiritual locations as places, or spaces, simply for convenient identification because we are dealing with a non-physical universe. The similarity of descriptions among clients of what they do as souls at the next two combined stops is remarkable, although they do have different names for them. I hear such terms as: chambers, travel berths, and interspace stop over zones, but the most common is “the place of healing.”
    I think of the healing station as a field hospital, or MASH unit, for damaged souls coming off Earth’s battlefields. I have selected a rather advanced male subject who has been through this revitalization process many times to describe the nature of this next stop.
    Case 11
    Dr. N: After you leave the friends who greeted you following your death, where does your soul go next in the spirit world?
    S: I am alone for a while … moving through vast distances …
    Dr. N: Then what happens to you?
    S: I am being guided by a force I can’t see, into a more enclosed space-an opening into a place of pure energy.
    Dr. N: What is this area like?
    S: For me … it is the vessel of healing.
    Dr. N: Give me as much detail as possible about what you experience here.
    S: I’m propelled in and I see a bright warm beam. It reaches out to me as a stream of liquid energy. There is a … vapor-like … steam swirling around me at first … then gently touching my soul as if it were alive. Then it is absorbed into me as fire and I am bathed and cleansed from my hurts.
    Dr. N: Is someone bathing you, or is this light beam enveloping you from out of nowhere?
    S: I am alone, but it is directed. My essence is being bathed … restoring me after my exposure to Earth.
    Dr. N: I have heard this place is similar to taking a refreshing shower after a hard day’s work.
    S: (laughs) After a lifetime of work. It’s better and you don’t get wet, either.
    Dr. N: You also don’t have a physical body anymore, so how can this energy shower heal a soul?
    S: By reaching into … my being. I’m so tired from my last life and with the body I had.
    Dr. N: Are you saying the ravages of the physical body and the human mind leaves an emotional mark on the soul after death?
    S: God, yes’. My very expression-who I am as a being-was affected by the brain and body I occupied.
    Dr. N: Even though you are now separated from that body forever?
    S: Each body leaves … an imprint … on you, at least for a while. There are some bodies I have had that I can never get away from altogether. Even though you are free of them you keep some of the outstanding memories of your bodies in certain lives.
    Dr. N: Okay, now I want you to finish with your shower of healing and tell me what you feel.
    S: I am suspended in the light … it permeates through my soul … washing out most of the negative viruses. It allows me to let go of the bonds of my last life … bringing about my transformation so I can become whole again.
    Dr. N: Does the shower have the same effect upon everyone?
    S: (pause) When I was younger and less experienced, I came here more damaged-the energy here seemed less effective because I didn’t know how to use it to completely purge the negativity. I carried old wounds with me longer despite the healing energy.
    Dr. N: I think I understand. So, what do you do now?
    S: When I am restored, I leave here and go to a quiet place to talk to my guide.
    This place I have come to call the shower of healing is only a prelude for the rehabilitation of returning souls. The orientation stage which immediately
