*Aging and Life Review* Q: Hi, this is along the lines of age. B: Age? Q: Last week... I went to visit my grandmother, and a couple of years ago she had had a stroke. B: Yes. Q: And she's been progressively losing memory. B: All right. Q: And I'm wondering... what happened to the grandmother that I know? B: She still exists, but now the individual is now replaying, in a sense, many other memories from other time tracks and time streams. In a sense, many individuals before they physiologically die, will give themselves the opportunity to review many of the ideas they have been experiencing and living through in this life. So, they may not seem to be "present," to you and, in a sense, they are not. They are in another type of present, where they are reviewing many of the other selves they have been. So that by the time they physiologically die, they will be far more collected and far more prepared to face the understanding that they do, and have always created their own reality. Q: Yes, that seems real accurate, because she picks up on periods back, the past, and she speaks the language that she hasn't spoken for a long time. B: Yes, and she will see many individuals as she saw them then. Q: What about the relationship with my father? She seems to be familiar with him, although she can't recall his name, or it takes her some time to... B: They have been together many times. She simply recognizes the energy and that is all that needs to be recognized for now. The labels are losing their meaning. Q: Did she recognize me? B: Yes, but in a different way. There will be a few more different recognitions that will occur but, again, most of the labels will lose their meaning. You may find that further along in the transformation from physical to non-physical reality, the individual may create an opportunity to become, in your terms, extremely lucid in the present. To simply allow you to know she is doing just fine and, in a sense, knows, at that point, where she is headed. Do you follow me? Q: Yes. So, is she understanding what we are communicating? Because she seems, like you said, lucid -- she seems to fade in and out. B: There may be times when the outer consciousness aware ego structure she is used to expressing in this life may not understand what is going on, but her soul, her essence, understands. She is doing what she needs to do. She is gathering the portions of herself together that she needs to gather at this time. Q: Okay, thank you. B: Thank you.
