HEAVENLY SIGNS FROM OUR LOVED ONES - OUR SON BILLY
(by Guy Dusseault)

Our story begins on June 27 2004 a beautiful Sunday morning at around 10:00 am, our lives changed forever. On that day we received the most devastating news any parent could ever receive, that one of their children has died. Our son, Billy was killed when his ATV he was riding at night hit a tree where Billy was killed instantly.For the next 8 months living was just trying to survive the next day, and for me personally, other than trying to survive I wanted to make contact with our son Billy. For me trying to make a connection with our son Billy was a natural next step, There was no questions about it. I had to find a way to connect with Billy, I had no idea how or if was possible, but some way or some how I was going to find a way no matter what anybody said or thought about it.  All that changed when my wife Jo-Anne asked if I would like to visit a spirit messenger named Vicki Monroe. That day was February 16 2005. Meeting with Vicki Monroe changed everything; we were able to make a connection with our son Billy for over an hour. Billy told us that he was happy, safe and healthy. Billy did no want us to worry about him, but for us to move ahead with our lives. Billy told us all about the accident and that his job here on earth was completed, that it was time to go ” home ” Heaven. 

Our story even gets more amazing, I remembered surfing the internet and reading about how our loved ones can give us signs that they are still near to us, one of the ways were through photographs. About 2 months after meeting with Vicki Monroe, I started taking photographs at random to see if anything would appear on camera. I began to receive signs from Billy right away in the form of “orbs” or sparks of light and streaking lights. I then began to keep a daily log of my photographs.

   

The day that I knew that this was going to be something special was August 20 2005, a few months into taking these type’s of photographs.  That’s the day that there were so many spirits, spirit orbs or sparks of light that I knew that this was more than just taking photographs for myself and that there had to be a purpose for me to be taking all of these pictures. If found out later on through Vicki Monroe that there was a reason, and that was to let others know that our loved ones are with us and that they try to let us know that they are here with us all be it in spirit form, ( you just have to keep an open mind).  The photographs that I have taken, have mostly be taken with two different types of digital cameras and the disposable cameras. I would at times have 3 camera’s on me, using one after the other to take as many photographs as I could.

 

One of the most exciting type of photos that we have are those of which some people call mist, smoky mist, or foggy mist but the term I like to use which is more accurate is called, Spirit Essence.  The photo’s that I have taken are pretty amazing, but the best part of this is that I can see this spirit essence as the flash is going off.  As soon as the flash goes off I can see where the spirit or spirits are.  They don’t always show up on camera, but I can see their location near to me for a second or two when the flash goes off, and they are more beautiful seeing them with the naked eye then on camera.  I can see their texture, color and size better then what appears on camera.  You can go to www.oursonbilly.com to view some of these photo’s, among them is  the October 21 2005 photo of the heart shaped moon with the spirit essence.

The last of the type of photographs which we have collected are my favorite which of course are the heart shaped photo’s. They can be of the moon, street lights and our Christmas tree lights.

I hadn’t noticed the heart shapes in our photographs at first.  It’s only when I was going over some of the photographs, while I was checking out a photo that I had taken on July 12 2005, I had zoomed in on a photo I had taken of an orb from our backyard when I noticed off to the left the street lights in the photo where in the shape of a heart. I thought wow, that’s really cool, so I started going over all of my photographs which had some type of light in them. I then came across the photos which had the moon in them, I was amazed when I came across photos of the moon in October of 2005. When I looked at a photo that was taken on October 21 2005, I was stunned at how perfect the heart shape was of the moon. That photo of the moon in a shape of a heart is my favorite of all the photographs that I have taken over the past 3 years because they are a signs from Billy sending us his love. Over the past 3 plus years we have collected around 400 of the heart shaped photos.  Over the past 3 plus years, we have collected about 35,000 spiritual photographs of different types. We continue to take these type of pictures and enjoy taking them and hope that you viewing enjoy them as well. We also have a new book out called Signs from Our Loved Ones. Everyone’s welcome to visit our website, read our complete story of our grief and of what helped us in our recovery, also view some of these amazing photographs at www.oursonbilly.com

Thank you,

Got Faith? by John Pete

WHAT IS FAITH, BY THE WAY? It’s a simple question, right? Maybe not… Faith can mean many things to many people, and whatever one’s personal beliefs, they should be respected as everyone’s journey is their own. This is reflected in our everyday life experiences, including grieving the loss of a loved one. And regardless of those beliefs, we all have the opportunity to comfort and support one another in the most important aspect of our lives – the here and the now.

Most of us have an inner faith of some sort, including the strong conviction by some that there is nothing beyond this life. And even this belief, as related to loss and grief, can provide comfort to the person who is grieving.

Following are some interesting excerpts of various societal definitions of faith.


 

Source: Dictionary.Com: 1. Confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another’s ability. 2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.

 

Source: New Catholic Encyclopedia: An assent of the mind to the truth of some proposition of the word of another, God or man. Divine faith is therefore the holding of some truth as absolutely certain because God, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived, has spoken it. Without faith no man can be saved.

 

Source: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines (Nyanntiloka): A Buddhist’s faith is not in conflict with the spirit of inquiry, and “doubt about dubitable things” is admitted and inquiry into them is encouraged. The ‘faculty of faith’ should be balanced with that of wisdom. Through wisdom and understanding, faith becomes an inner certainty and firm conviction based on one’s own experience.

 

Source: Martin Luther (Luther’s German Bible of 1522): Faith cannot help doing good works constantly. It doesn’t stop to ask if good works ought to be done, but before anyone asks, it already has done them and continues to do them without ceasing.  Anyone who does not do good works in this manner is an unbeliever.  He stumbles around and looks for faith and good works, even though he does not know what faith or good works are. Yet he gossips and chatters about faith and good works with many words.

 

Source: Kabbalah (Luther’s German Bibleof 1522): Faith (Emuna) is the quality of bestowal, which enables you to see a different world. It’s a different sense of perception, where you perceive outside of yourself, above your personal calculations. This is the reason why people who have faith change completely. On the other hand, you are defining faith as believing in something somebody said. In other words, you believe that what you heard is a fact. Since it is a science, Kabbalah denies such an approach. In Kabbalah, you accept something in order to test it yourself. To acquire faith means to acquire a screen, the ability to feel, define, and measure sensations that are tuned to bestowal and love.

 


For those who believe that there is simply nothing more when we die, may find comfort in the thought of non-existence with no more physical or emotional pain or daily struggles. And those who believe in a creator often use their faith as a basis of sustenance in the face of personal human adversity and a reason for the ‘here and now,’ which gives hope for eternal evolution as spiritual beings.
