My mom, Jane Reiselman, came to Denver on Tuesday as James Van Praagh was in town at the Paramount Theater. No matter what your belief in whether he can talk to those that have passed or not, there are some items that you can take from what James said.
One of the things that you should know, James Van Praagh is very funny. When he talks about his life and where he got to where he is, he does so in a way that makes you smile and laugh. It helps you to understand what took him to California in his early 20’s.
You know there are many lessons we learn in our time on Earth. Many times we hear something multiple times and in multiple different ways. Sometimes it sticks while other times it just goes through one ear and out the other. One item that most people are told is to love.
James Van Praagh talked that we need to love and be good to one another. It not only effects us but those around us and then those around them, just like the ripples in the pond would keep expanding out. When we treat some one poorly, it effects many people as well; it ripples out. Many religions talk about a heaven and a hell. James explained that the hell that he knows about through his spirit guides is not a place but a state where after you pass you not only feel the hurt that you caused others but the ripples out.
We are all related to each other. Think Lion King’s “Circle of Life.” This is my analogy, something that I can put my arms around. It helps me try and remember to treat people nicely. Yes, sometimes it may be difficult because we aren’t getting the “nice” vibe back. I guess that is part of the lesson as well.
Yes, I know I have many lessong to learn while I’m here on Earth. I know that I’m not perfect but I try to be the best that I can. I try to smile at people while I walk down the street or in the mall, as you never know if that smile will be the one item that makes their day just a little better. Think the commercial for some insurance company where one good “deed” creates another good “deed” and so on and on. I know that I, Wendy Frenzel, will strive to be the best being that I can be and help others without letting the weight of others weigh me down.
It’s like a saying that Jeff, my husband, keeps in his head and reminds himself of when he feels that he is being “dumped on” by others. “I am not a garbage truck and do not need other people’s garbage.” I guess I just want to find the treasures in their trash.
