Meeting him on a park bench...

My first sucessful Projection!!
My grandfather. He was the closest loved one a girl could ever want.  We shared a rapore that was un matched by anyone.

I was flying four feet off the ground, when I zeroed in on him perhaps about 20 feet away I could make out his image sitting on a park bench petting his dog. I sat down on his left, and smiled like it was a place we met all the time. I said "Is that Ralphie that you are petting?" and he smiled and said "Yes it is, and it's also bootsie" (his dog prior to Ralphie) I got pretty worked up and had couldn't stand to be there very long. I stood up and said "I'm sorry, I can't stay..Is there anything you want me tell anyone?" and he said "Why yes, tell grandma that I will be sitting right here waiting for her, AND I'm so glad I don't have to eat her cooking anymore!" and laughed.  The next day this encounter got me thinking about a nickname I have called him most of my growing up. When I was very little and couldn't say Grandpa, i would use the word "bokkan" This nick name was adopted by the family and became his only name with us till the day he died. I used a letter board the other day and asked if I might get the name of my spirit guide to assist me when I am having trouble next time. The letter spelled out BAKAAN I was floored! Not the way I have spelled it over the years, but how much sense did that make???
Then I did some internet digging on the word, and the first definition I pulled up was a Measurement of great distance in the Mayan culture.....

its always great to see loved ones during a projection. I also saw my grandfather in a projection once, but the circumstances were much more grim.
I met up with my guide, who happened to take the identity of my brother who had passed over 2 years prior to this projection.(im convinced this was to keep me comfortable with what i was to witness). He asked me if there was anything I wanted to see and immediatley thought of my Grandpa Flip. He was a great grandfather, but alot of the actions in his life (physical and emotional abuse due to alcoholism) were very wrong. Of course, i didnt know this until i was older and he had passed.
So my guide grabbed my hand, and we phased to a courtroom. It was very surreal, not at all like a courtroom we know. But if there is one thing it is impossible to mistake, its the face of a judge.  THere were 6 judges sitting at bench that towered above us. The bench formed a half circle, and standing at the half circle, head lowered, was my grandfather. I couldnt hear what was going on, I was only getting the visual of the event. My guide explained to me that he was judging himself, and what i was seeing was an extension of his construct, where he continued to try himself for the wrongs of his life. He explained that until he reached the point where he could forgive himself for what he had done, the trial would continue.
This brought immeasurable sadness to me, as he had shown me nothing but love. But I knew he had committed wrongs against his own loved ones and understood why he was trying himself. I let it go, the prjoection ended.
To this day, Im sending out the love that my grandfather showed me to try to get him to understand that he meant a lot to me, and hopefully get him to forgive himself for his life's transgressions.

Thanks kmD and Tippycat for sharing your experiences. I would like to do something similar with my grandpa. I was think of a family reunion/picnic at a nice camping site. I think that's where I'd find him anyway.
