Roberts: Taking a memory to lunch

Down Home: Listen to Dalton Roberts’ podcast on what he learned from former Mayor Ralph Kelley.

I have become aware that there are great purposes and powers at work in our lives. While I do have a personal spiritual framework that makes this more meaningful to me, I see it less in a religious context and more in a scientific light as energy at work.

When you learn that I take old deceased friends to lunch and dedicate all of my shows to them or to God, you may just want to send the guys with loony-bird nets after me. But if you are open-minded and willing to consider experiences that can work for you to enrich your life, read on.

What do we do when our nearest and dearest friends and family members physically die? Do we instantly give up on having any kind of experiences of their personalities and presence? What if our years of internalizing them have installed some kind of communication antennae in each of us? What if it continues to transmit energy? And do we not, as energy beings, constantly interpret messages from those energy transmissions while they are living? How can we think that something as real as the bond of communication between us no longer exists when so many of our energy templates with them go right on reporting life?

I invite you to consider something I often practice. I call it taking a memory to lunch. If there’s one thing we all have with those we love who depart this life, it is memories.
