My Spiritual Journey (Page 3 of 3).
By Carolyn Cobelo
I was terrified to go to sleep because I thought we would lose our connection. I had a hotel room with twin beds. Just before I succumbed
to sleep, I looked over at the other bed. He was there, floating, stiff as a board, just above the bedspread. He had on the clothes
he was wearing when we had the accident. I knew how hard it was for him to come down into this dimension and I understood he did it
to help me.
The months following Esteban’s death were excruciatingly
painful for me. I felt like I lost half of myself and that I had no skin to protect me. I seldom left my house and. I listened only
to one CD by Sarah Mac Laughlan. The song, “In the Arms of an Angel” was a great comfort for me. I tried every healing modality I
could find to ease the pain. I slept with Esteban’s shirt for three months and finally burned it in a ceremonial fire. I practiced
Raymond Moody’s mirror communication and I saw Esteban digging a hole in the ground with a shovel. I took this as a sign to bury something
that was precious to him. I hope his ceremonial hunting knife is still in the ground where I left it.
Slowly, the pain lessened and I grew stronger, but I had lost my interest in my professional work. I turned to creativity as
a healing modality, which turned out to be a very positive step. Within two years I became a sculptor, game designer/producer and
author of five books.
My first project was to create sculptures
which expressed messages from the spirit world. I first attuned to Esteban’s spirit and asked him to show me what his life, death
and after death experience was. He guided my hands as I formed the images he expressed in clay. I then made similar sculptures with
the spirits of my grandparents, learning much more about them than I knew in our Earthly life together. I decided to cast them in
bronze. I cried all the way to the foundry, because I felt I was taking them to be cremated.
I traveled each week to the hot springs of Ojo Caliente and the Sanctuary of Chimayo. Although there are mixed opinions about the
healing power of the sanctuary, I found that each time I went there I felt significantly better. I sat in the pews near the altar,
asking for guidance about a non-competitive spiritual board game I was creating. I channeled the design of this game, Avalon: Temple
of Connection, in this chapel I found writing to be therapeutic because I connected telepathically to healing power of the sacred
places in my books. When other people read the books or play the game, they also connect to the power and wisdom of these places.
In
2003, I began writing a film script, set in Bali, about a mysterious stone head that has the capacity to give and take life. I found
it fascinating to combine my spiritual knowledge with a fictional story. In 2005, I put that script away and started to write
Morning Star: Legend of the Sacred Stone. To my surprise, when I reread my first script, I discovered that I had been writing
about the same characters in the second script. So, this script has become the sequel to this one.
It has been a long journey since Mutananda gave me “Shaktipat” with the peacock feathers in 1978. I am grateful that Akasha
Entertainment gves me an opportunity and a vehicle to share the magic and mystery I have experienced in my own life.
