David was an NBC journalist who passed away in Iraq, April 6, 2003, while covering the war.
I did not have the honor of knowing him while he was alive, but have enjoyed his company and beautiful, insightful messages from the Other Side, in the years since his death. He has learned much since his passing and wants to share what he knows. His mission now is to spread awareness about the need for peace - "to not always go to war as a first resort."
About his experience in Iraq and Kuwait ~
Very rough. Dirty, tiring, but exhilarating. The push was constant and energy had to be high all the time, because we never knew when we had to go again. You always had to be ready to go and go hard. The messages I gave on TV were only a small part of what happened there. There was so much more to tell, and if I had made it back, I would have told it. I think people really needed to know how things were there, and that’s why I was there: to bring that story back, even if I had to bring it back in a backpack written on scraps of paper. The people were amazing. Their spirit was courageous and amazing. For all the praise I get, it was nothing next to these guys. Nothing. When we pulled into Kuwait the heat and energy were high. The anticipation was strong but reality hadn’t really hit us and although we were excited to get started, none of us talked about the fear. But we all had it. But the fear didn’t get in the way of the excitement and feeling of purpose that we had. It was important that we were there and gave people a look at how it really happens. And what it means to be at war, and that we should really believe in it before sending our troops to their possible deaths for it. I don’t know what I might have been able to cover if I had gotten there, but I wanted it to be meaningful above all else. I wanted to tell the stories of these kids – and they were kids – for them. For all the valor, they get no voice. I was there to give them that voice, and that was something I was proud of.
Heaven ~
It's like everything you want it to be. Golf courses, streams, restaurants, books. You imagine it and it appears. You dream of it and it comes to you. You feel the love of people below and you are with them. They call you and you come with love in your heart and kindness in your heart. You are touched by those who love you and their love propels you and lifts you higher. So you can achieve what you are there to do and help. And love.
It was all I had imagined and yet nothing like what I thought. You live sleep breathe dream. Everything. It’s all the same and totally different. I know that sounds vague, but there is no way to explain it. It’s about knowing without explanation. Just feeling. Intuition and trust and about being in the arms of God. In the arms of Love.
The war, and his role now ~
It's not for opportunity. It's about the people. A lot happened wrong there, a lot that needs to be explained to the people, but that is not the point. The aftermath is the point. The people needed something to unite them, to take charge of their lives and action of their government. Too many stood by letting the decisions be made by others, accepting and trusting that and now, hopefully, they are aware of it being a bad decision, and want to take back their lives. Too much opportunity for too few people. Too much suffering for too many. Not right, not balanced. We are trying to bring balance. People have their lessons to learn, but karma is unbalanced and needs fixing. Even though everything is in its perfect place, which I know is confusing, but makes sense here, and is our driving force. We needed to work on balancing the karma right now, so I am here to help.
The Science of Heaven ~
We don’t call it Heaven exactly. It’s another plane but the same one you’re on, too. I know that’s confusing, but it won’t be. I’ll try to say this well. In science there are rules, and in Heaven science there are rules, but they differ and are the same. Heaven science is built on a measure of progress, which also it is on Earth, except that we, when on earth, call progress time, which only is a consideration there. Progress here is in the person as well as in the world and the universe. Everything is planned ahead and fits within a perfect plan, and therefore it’s the progression of the plan as well as the progression of the individual that causes progress, and therefore a process of “time”.
How does Free Will not interfere with the Plan?
Because it’s like a grid, and anytime something happens in one place, there is an effect in another. And somehow it all moves the right way. When you construct a plan like this, you allow for multiple occurrences within it, for every cog in it. That way the cause and effect still fit, because regardless of what we think, there are really not all that many options. You are constructive or destructive, and the cause and effect are based on that.
You are seeing what was constructed for life when you see a cause and effect occurrence. That’s why it is the same, because it was made to work that way, in both places. Everyone has free will, so there have to be allowances for that, to not allow the world and Heaven to fall apart.
Is there a sense in Heaven that the world is falling apart?
No, just that there are many lessons yet to be learned and that we need soldiers of our own, willing to be peacekeepers and move that movement forward, and maybe help people not look to war first. And just as there is cause and effect in other ways, for all those born to wage war, there are those born to try to stop it. We send volunteers to go down and fight that fight. The fight against fighting, so to speak.
The Soul ~
It is like a cobbled piece. A jigsaw that comes together with experience, other people, emotions, situations, talents, people you’ve met along the way who are important to you and your growth in whatever way that is. You choose the picture it turns out to be. If you strive for one thing, that’s what the picture works to become. That’s how you choose what people and experiences come to you and then what you do with them helps shape the picture.
