Last week, I received two e-mails, one from a male and another from a female reader who had very similar tragic experiences. Both of them had a parent murdered and their lives were forever changed as a result.

The male reader, who gave his name as simply “J”, witnessed his mother murdered in front of him only last year.

On the other hand, the other letter writer’s father was murdered in 2005. Let’s just call her Perla.

Both are seeking help in communicating with their murdered parent.

Here’s part of J’s letter:

“After reading your book (Everything About Ghosts) I decided to email you… I lost my mom in a gruesome way last year. I was with her when she was brutally murdered. Although I survived the physical killing, a part of me is dead.

“Involuntarily recalling the incident is hard to handle. It is a living nightmare. I hope and pray that God will touch the hearts of those criminals who did us wrong and that justice would prevail soon. At present, the only consolation I have is the feeling that she’s with me. I dream of her and sometimes smell candles and her favorite perfume.

“Sir, if only I could talk to my mom, maybe my questions can be answered. I pray for divine justice. She was a good mom, and doesn’t deserve such a senseless criminal act. I hope you could help me.” J.

Perla, on the other hand, wrote, “I would like to seek your help in communicating with my dad who was murdered last Aug. 2005. Till now we do not know the reason  he was killed, and we can’t move on, maybe because I am really seeking justice for what happened to him. Where can I see you? Or do you know someone who can help us?”

Reply

Let me address this reply to both “J” and Perla.

“J”, your experience is truly a highly traumatic one. I myself would have been at a loss what to do if I were in your shoes. That you escaped being killed means there’s something important you still have to do.

As a general rule, if the spirit of a dead person does not manifest himself or herself to the living in a strong or forceful manner, then he or she is at peace, no matter how cruel or brutal the manner of death has been. There is no point in contacting the spirit because that will only disturb him or her.

You yourself can communicate to your parent telepathically by quieting your mind and going within. In that deep state of meditation, you can tell your dad or mom what you want and if he or she is still on the earth plane, he or she will hear you.

We are one with you in praying and hoping that the perpetrators of your parent’s murder will be caught and brought to justice.

But even if they were not caught and punished in this lifetime, they definitely would not escape the laws of karma.

There is no way out of this. Every deed will be accounted for in the Halls of Universal Justice, maybe not in this lifetime, but surely in some future life. Everything that we do will come back to us, nothing less and nothing more.

And remember this: Even if those criminals do get caught, found guilty and executed, this does not mean that justice has been done. For true justice or restitution will happen only if your father or mother is restored back to life. But this cannot be in this lifetime. Therefore, what we euphemistically call “justice” is really nothing but revenge. But justice there will definitely be in a future life.

Your father (or your mother) and his or her murderer will meet again in a subsequent lifetime and the murderers will surely get what they rightly deserve. They will eventually meet the consequences of their acts.

Three sides

On another topic, I received several e-mails commenting on my column last week regarding the difference between spirituality and religiosity. Most agreed with me but a few were vehemently against what I said, which I had actually anticipated. It is not my intention, however, to change or convert anyone to my way of thinking. Each of those who wrote me is absolutely right from his or her point of view. No quarrel about that.

I have always believed that there are three sides to every controversy, namely, yours, mine and the correct one.
