Me: Why are adult children estranging themselves from their parents in record numbers.
Jamie: Adult children. What does that mean?
Me: Children who are already adults. Progeny. They’re not talking to their parents anymore; they don’t have anything to do with them, sort of like excommunicating themselves from their parents, you know?
Jamie: Oh, okay. I get it; I get it. I don’t know why, but I get a funny magnet image in my head.
Me: Oh, no!
Jamie (laughing, then with sarcasm): Wonder where that came from! (pause) He’s just looking at the United States.
(Pause)
Jamie (to Erik): I have NO idea what you just said.
We both giggle.
Jamie (to Erik): You got all technical on me. Take it down all slow and simple.
(Long pause)
Jamie (to Erik): Okay. That was very slow and simple. He said, “Something has to break before it gets fixed.”
Erik: Our culture is learning about the care of elderly and death and dying. It has never been secure in our culture for a child to be responsible and care for the elderly or the parent as they become older. It’s never been a requirement in our culture. It’s been a requirement in other cultures.
Me: Yes.
Erik: Fuck that. It hasn’t been a requirement; it’s been a compassionate gesture in other cultures. It’s just not in ours. It really has to break apart and break down before the children realize, “That is not what I want.”
Me: Mmm.
Erik: The grandchildren. We’re looking at three levels. The grandchildren wake up and say, “I don’t want that, no fucking way!” So, they change the movement of our culture into accepting death and dying as a compassionate gesture for their parents.
Me: Interesting. I completely agree. We so need to redefine death as a transformation from one dimension to the next rather than an ominous end. Maybe this next generation will do that.
Erik: Yes.

And now for some exciting news. Robert Schwartz, author of Your Soul’s Plan, has come out with his new book, Your Soul’s Gift. I know most of you know this author well and have read his first book. Well, he very graciously sent me a copy of this sequel and now that I’ve finished it I can only say that it is just fabulous. Quite an eye-opener. A life-changing read. Here’s the back copy and more for Your Soul’s Gift:
Robert Schwartz is a counselor and certified hypnotherapist who helps people heal by understanding what they planned before they were born and why. He offers Spiritual Guidance Sessions (usually focused on the life plan), Past Life Soul Regressions, and Between Lives Soul Regressions. He is the author of two best-selling books, Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born and Your Soul’s Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born. Your Soul’s Plan explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents. Your Soul’s Gift discusses the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, caregiving, having pets, abusive relationships, sexuality, incest, adoption, poverty, suicide, rape, and mental illness. For more information please visit Robert online at www.yoursoulsplan.com.
Now, his brilliant sequel Your Soul’s Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born delves even deeper by exploring the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage and abortion, caregiving, abusive relationships, sexuality, incest, adoption, poverty, suicide, rape, and mental illness. Working with a team of gifted mediums, Schwartz brings forth great love and wisdom from the other side to explain why such experiences are planned and the deep, soul-level healing they can create.
