Chapter 49

I felt tears streaming down my face, but when I went to wipe them away my skin was dry.

“Why haven’t I been able to see them before?” I asked quietly.

“You haven’t known howto see them,” said Reginald. “There are many surprises in store for you as you forget about the limitations of your old self and become more attuned to your spirit self, but it takes time.”

Eventually the night became dark again.

“They’re resting,” said Reginald. “As we must.”

Reginald stood up.

“Can I ask one more thing?”

Reginald smiled and I realised I could see him now as clearly as if it were day.

“You can always ask me anything, friend.”

“Why aren’t those spirits in Heaven? And why do the spirits who are in Heaven, who are bored and want nothing more than to be somewhere else, stay there?”

Reginald sat back down. “I can only answer part of your question. You see, in spirit many things are revealed, but some things, as you’ll find, have to remain a mystery.”
