Beyond the Veil by Care’n Mooney

Just before us, in our view, lies the true and complete awareness of our divine connection to the universe and our unique place in the completion of this masterpiece.

We can sometimes feel the presence of peace around us and not fully comprehend what it means because it is clouded in a mist.

At times we may feel a twinge of recognition, a hint of a greater piece, and then, like a faint memory that is so fragile, it quickly fades, leaving us in the here and now. We are sensing what is beyond the veil, an inner knowing that we are connected to more than we can imagine. I think this memory helps us during times of stress and challenge, a gentle reminder that we can make it and gives us the courage to keep moving forward.

All throughout our evolution the people have had the seers, the shaman, and the mystic who could tap into the illusion of the veil, returning with knowledge, wisdom, and the feeling of love. Many people have experienced the ability to move through the veil upon their time of death and have chosen to return to the physical world. More and more these people are relating their experiences on the other side, coming back changed, having experienced unconditional love and a peace that cannot be described.

Even as science has tried very hard to discredit and prove that this cannot happen, they are beginning to realize that they cannot prove this experience that all these people share, the people bring back with them the amazing feeling of connection, of self-love, awareness, and a greater compassion for all humanity. Many are drawn to be teachers or healers and live a life connected to love.

My first experience in meeting a person who had experience this transformation was Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut. He had come to Unity where he told his story of his near death. He had been involved in a horrible car crash and, in his words, “he watched as the EMTs worked over his dying body as he hovered above. I can remember every detail of the rescue, the hospital surgeries, and even when they pronounced my death.”

He made a choice to remain on this earth, and he also made a vow that he would figure out what had happened. He said that after that time he became a weekend new age junkie, seeking out every known meeting of people who thought outside the box.

He kept his secret for fear that the scientific community would cast him out. He himself was a brilliant scientist who held many degrees, and if it had not happened to him, he would have ridiculed anyone who said it had. Soon he discovered a close friend, another man of science, who was also seeking answers beyond the norm. His friend was doing experiments in California. He was working to see how cells communicated with each other.

They scraped cells from Buzz’s cheek and put them in a petri dish, hooked them up to an EKG machine, and Buzz went back to Arizona. His task was to write down everything he was doing so they could see if there was any response in the EKG machine in California. Yes, there was. Every time something major happened, every time he had a big response to something, the EKG machine in California responded. Something was happening that science could not explain.

My own personal experience transpired two weeks after my oldest son, who was eleven, made his transition. Jimmy and I had talked about the possibility that he might not survive the surgery that was coming up. We talked about what it would feel like if he did pass from this world. I told him that I knew he would not be in pain and he would be able to move wherever he wanted to, and he would be free.

He asked me what I thought heaven would be like. I paused and told him I had forgotten, but if he found something that he loved on earth and multiplied it by every star in every galaxy, he might get a glimmer of what it was like. I added that we only need our body like bedroom slippers when we are here on earth. After that we no longer need to be in the physical form.

Two weeks after he passed, I walked by the room that we had prepared for him after surgery. When I opened the door I stepped into the white light. A light so brilliant that if you stared with your human eyes you would be blinded. A peace so healing that there are no words to express how it felt. A love so empowering that every cell in my being was alive.

Jimmy came walking towards me, and no, he did not have a halo and wings, but he reached out to me and said, “Mom, heaven is everything and more, and I am happy. I want you and Dad to feel this happiness also.” I shed tears because I knew I could not stay. I knew there was more for me to do in this beautiful place called earth.

We all have access to the beauty and peace that seem to be just out of sight. Becoming your authentic self, freeing yourself from limiting ideas that we have been taught, and through self-love, forgiveness, an attitude of gratitude, meditation, finding a spiritual mentor, and allowing the splendor of you to reconnect to the divine beyond the veil.

After my experience I felt a sense of peace, a sense of belonging. I was not alone.

I saw things more clearly, and I seemed to be aware of things and found that my perception of how I interpreted them was bringing me new insights. Like many others I chose to keep this experience close to my heart and did not tell a soul about it for many years.

I still had a lot more experiences to go through before I stepped into my true self. It was like trying on different aspects of my soul. After that experience I no longer fear my own transition from the physical to the divine. I have learned that I can lovingly detach from things that do not serve my higher being.

When I was ready I became a universal Reiki Master Teacher and an infinite soul communicator. My gift of being able to communicate soul to soul has allowed me to touch thousands of people.

When I am able to be with someone and work one-to-one my soul sings. I share this gift in phone communications, sending Reiki energy through time and space and touching the souls who reach out. Many times I may have a conversation with a complete stranger and watch the amazing transformation as they feel a new connection with themselves.

I have asked many times why I was chosen to take this path, as I never saw myself as a spiritual intuitive, healer, or anything special. The answer I always receive is, “It is through your unique personality that you touch others.” How can I possibly argue with that.

Each step through the veil is a personal experience and is uniquely designed for the person who has this experience.

You are cherished, you are loved, you are uniquely divine, and I see you, I appreciate you, and welcome you to your expression as a pure human.

With love, Care’n

Every Tuesday evening, I host a heart-centered meditation at my center in Mesa, Arizona, which I call the Open-Heart Meditation. During this session, I guide the group into the depths of our heart’s center, filling it with joy as we allow it to expand and vibrate faster and faster. Through this practice, we embrace our true essence as beings of light.

If you’re in the Phoenix or Mesa area, I warmly invite you to join us. Feel free to reach out and become part of our Open-Heart Meditation community.
