The Gift of a Second Chance

Posted on by Tom Kelly

My father was starting end-of-life care at an Ottawa hospital and I had just arrived for what had become my daily visit. He was growing less aware and my time with him was becoming more solitary, although it was still nice to be in his company and share this way.

Today I was lucky and able to park closer to the hospital. It was a gloomy, grey day in November with a lick of wind to enhance the understanding of the coming transition into winter.

I pulled my coat together and hunched to maintain warmth as I walked to the crosswalk, and then along the path to the main entrance.

I noticed a man walking in the opposite direction, along the driveway with parked cars between us. He had a cane and was moving slowly and with poor balance. My first thought was “Where could he possibly be going without help as he looked that frail?

By now I was almost stopped, worried, yet excited for every new step this man took. Others were watching too and as he approached the crosswalk I assumed someone closer would assist him. This was not the case. He staggered across the road and up a cut in the sidewalk, gathering himself for the remainder of the journey to his vehicle.

Today’s Message (from the guides)

Posted on by Tom Kelly

Take the ideas we give you and be with them. Please don’t dissect and intellectualize them.

These moments and ideas are steps in a process. Your role is to be ready and to receive.

If you take a message and turn it into something, you may lose the importance of it. Our messages are simple and often come in groups over time (as you know).

We offer what you call “nuggets” to excite you. Don’t let your excitement be diffused through complication. You will know what our message(s) mean naturally.  

We expect and encourage creativity, never wanting to curb this flow. In many ways, this is the future. Be creative and imaginative.

The time of now will bring much that is not yet known. There is much you will see, experience, and learn. You need to be at ease and in flow to bring these energies forward.

Family Style

Posted on by Tom Kelly

I recently returned from a 16-day trip to the United States, visiting 11 states and districts.

From our first step(s) south, there was an easy feeling that continued for the remainder of our trip.

Why is this notable? Because from where I live in Canada, the US is portrayed as a nation in crisis, divided on every level, yet this was not my experience.

I’ve struggled to write about my experience because so much information wanted to be expressed, yet the story was not complicated. Boiling syrup to get something sweet has been my challenge.

It forced looking at America and feeling into this brotherly dynamic we share. Looking at the deep roots that connect us and how we’ve grown to become who we are.

We are both free and sovereign nations, yet we express our freedom and liberty quite differently.

What I was expecting to see in the US were cracks in the fabric of this deeply patriotic nation and yet there were seemingly none. Back home in Canada cracks are everywhere, so what was happening?

Different Stripes (message from the guides)

Posted on by Tom Kelly

Earlier this week I received this message

The initial words the guides provided were “Don’t overlook the importance of working folk, the people who get dirty for a living. These people are the muscle behind what gets done and we praise their hard work. Without this strength and charisma, your world would be very different. You need to understand this so you don’t lose it.”

When I heard this I smiled. Blue collar hands-on jobs were always fun for me. You knew the people around you and could feel into their lives, there were no secrets. You knew when someone needed support and it was offered wholeheartedly. Material things rarely meant much but everything else did.

In recent years without the same capacity in manufacturing, I re-trained and shifted gears leading to a completely different dimension of work. I missed the big booming personalities on the shop floor of which I was one.

The guides continued, showing me people waiting for buses, carrying their lunch, and sitting peacefully looking forward to the day ahead. They showed me a very independent group who had the strength and ferocity to live without complaint. These people know who they are, what they stand for when to bust a friend’s balls, and when to stand down.

All of Us

Posted on by Tom Kelly

I’m back from 2 weeks in the United States.

The trip was amazing! So many messages came in.

Today, I can share something that came in as a direct message.

Part of my trip led me to some large cities and the downtown core. Normally I would resist being in large cities, especially downtown, but there was something there to witness.

People were coming and going, looking at phones, trying to get places, and not seeming to experience much of what I consider the totality or expansiveness of life or the world around them. At first, I was curious to watch, and then I felt saddened.

What I saw over and over was a working machine that I couldn’t understand. People were the inner workings of this machine. The buildings around us were built to allow a machine to operate, to master the art of doing.

We Are the World (a message from the guides)

Posted on by Tom Kelly
We Are the World artists in a group

This week I watched “The Greatest Night in Pop” on Netflix. And it created the opening for a message I would like to share.

First off, most of you will not know the profound impact music has on me. It’s God’s way of speaking directly to my soul and heart. Many of you may know this yourself.

When I turned on this video I almost immediately had tears in my eyes, and this continued throughout. This documentary looks at the creation of the song “We Are the World.”

I was in my twenties when this all went down. My girlfriend worked at the big FM station in town and I had the inside to everything music. It was a magical time for me as a music fan but it went much deeper as this documentary reminded me. It was a time when people put up their hands and said count me in. It happened slowly, one hand at a time, eventually becoming a global movement.

Fear (a message from the guides)

Posted on by Tom Kelly

Recently I was given some very profound information while also being reminded of a major concept most of us push to the side or may not fully understand.

I was visiting a local hospital and on the way out, stopped for a coffee. It was the dinner hour and eerily quiet. Something in my peripheral vision grabbed my attention. I allowed this to expand and realized it was an energy pattern across the corridor. It wasn’t sure what this energy wanted or was trying to say, it just seemed dull and lifeless.

My first reaction was to call in my teams for more protection and shielding, given the energy in hospitals.

Expanding the Light Body

Posted on by Tom Kelly

Is your life experience “trippy” these days?

Many minuet things in my day-to-day experience are off, and collectively they create a very trippy reality. Sometimes this experience is well understood other times it can be challenging to manage and enjoy.

Here are some examples;

I notice distance and height are off, or my perception is. When reaching for something I sense it being closer or further from my hand, or when a counter or cupboard seems low or high. When taking a group of steps toward something well known to me, I may find my steps awkwardly longer or shorter getting there.

The Veil (a message from the guides)

Posted on by Tom Kelly

This morning I was given a message about the Veil. They said “It’s like a governor or set of filters” and they used the analogy of a database for me, with the veil between me and the database.

“The veil is there to protect you and help you manage an energetic presence on earth.”

Then they provide this example. If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it? Then said “You would hear it, but it’s veiled” Going on to say “The earth plane is too heavy and dense for you to know all of it. Things have to be filtered, unlike other experiences you have known elsewhere.”

Mastery

Posted on by Tom Kelly

In the past few days and weeks, I have experienced several interesting concepts. Some of them appeared as dreams, while others were in the form of visions or thoughts. What they all have in common is that I seem to possess a higher level of knowledge and proficiency in areas where I had little or no expertise before.


In a dream, I was given a trumpet by a group of musicians who also played horns. Not knowing a thing about this instrument, I put it down laughingly. After much prompting, I picked up the trumpet and soon was the best player, leading and composing amazing groves and riffs within the group.
