A viewer asks: “In medieval England, “soulers” would go around begging rich folk for “soul cakes” on Halloween. Instead of threatening to play tricks, however, they’d pray for the souls of peoples’ departed loved ones in return for the cake. Again we see the act of praying for the dead, in essence performing “Spirit Rescues” made a form of tradition to ensure that at least one time during the year, the dead were “remembered” and prayers said on their behalf. Was the “soul cake” a form of payment, not unlike paying for a practitioner to do a Lightworker Healing Protocol Spirit Rescue today? Clearly the original intent for this practice has been completely and utterly lost. Can Creator comment on that?”

This was a well-intentioned outreach that was a win-win for the children participating. They were learning about the issue of life and death. They were working for the divine realm in offering to use their purity of soul and innocence to be assisting the soul journey of people’s departed loved ones who might be in earthbound form struggling in the lower astral plane in between the Earth and heaven. To do prayers is a very good solution for the dilemma because these hapless spirits cannot help themselves and that is why they are trapped, they are disoriented, they are confused, they are depleted. They may not even realize they are dead. They may lack a sufficient belief quotient in the divine to make possible even cooperating with the light callers who will always come for them, even if they are atheists, but it is less likely that nonbelievers will be high enough in vibration to recognize the light callers and cooperate with them as guides. This is a self-inflicted penalty, not a judgment from on high. So this was a beautiful custom for a truly divine spiritual purpose and it was effective in helping many troubled spirits return home to the light. The fact it is no longer the case that Halloween is seen as an opportunity to confer such a blessing for many struggling people’s loved ones is tragic and solely a consequence of the Secular Movement to deny, denigrate, and delete religion as an important element in public life or even as a private experience, at least as far as societal approval might offer. People and their loved ones are the losers. This fate may befall the secular nonbelievers in far greater number but it will be their choosing and is a karmic payback for their disconnection. It is not always a conscious choice. People are raised in the culture as is, warts and all, so to speak, but that is the overall human dilemma and the contest underway, to see will humans rise above the darkness and its encroachment to rob humanity of their faith and drag them down into darkness as well.
