Ask Dennis & Alice |
|
|
Ask Dennis & Alice  Q: I spoke with you by phone a few years ago, and was impressed with your knowledge of here and beyond. We discussed twin souls, and I wasn't sure if mine was here on Earth or on the Other Side. You had told me at the time that he was here in this lifetime. Well, I met a man about a year ago, and when we looked into each other’s eyes it was instant knowing. It was not a sexual feeling for either one of us; it was very different. I thought to myself, well this is the man, I know it is. I am very spiritual and intuitive and can communicate with the other side also. When it comes to me, though forget it! He is not spiritual, and has problems of his own, which makes him miserable. The relationship lasted for a while. He did tell me that he never met anyone like me and that he loved me. For some reason, he pushes me away. He is rude purposely and doesn't want to see me; doesn't want to fall in love. When we do see each other we look into each other’s eyes and get lost. I don't understand the whole situation. I have never felt this way towards a man before, and I have been married twice. He is not the nicest person as far as his personality goes. Why am I so compelled to call him? Why do I feel this way? Why did he feel this way in the beginning? What went wrong? I cannot keep him out of my heart and soul. I feel as though I could make a big difference in his life, just as he could for me. Can you please give me some insight on this confusing situation I find myself in. I have been looking and waiting all my life. A: This sounds like a relationship needing to be put on hold, on the back burner to be boiled down or put away for another time. If it needs to be put away until the next lifetime, so be it. If in fact you are twin souls, then it appears he is not quite ready to recognize you yet. The first relationship must be with himself. He must love and accept himself fully and completely in order to accept you unconditionally. If each twin is not ready to accept the other unconditionally, the reaction will be to repel rather than to attract. You say he is “miserable”. Before he can truly love another, he must first love himself. A twin looks into the other’s eyes and sees a reflection of his or her self. Yours may also be what is called a “next-of-twin” connection. That is the soul connection just before the final twin soul relationship. You may recall from my “onion peeling” section in our book, Sam was my next-of-twin. He was the final relationship and the final hurdle I needed to experience before meeting Dennis. In order for me to recognize Dennis as my true twin soul and be able to enter into an unconditional relationship, I had to know what the pain of not being loved felt like. And, yes, it hurt deeply. But the totally unconditional love that came as a result was worth the wait!! Q: I have a question that I’m sure is explained in your book, but I’d like to ask Alice's advice. Your comment is: "Close the door, seal it, caulk it, be sure nothing of the old can come in again." Does this mean continuing a friendship with your ex will just extend the time of not finding someone else? My boyfriend and I broke up 5 years ago, and for 4 years we were very good friends. He’s had a new girlfriend since last November, and she doesn't let him speak with me, but we still e-mail because I manage some of his real estate investments. Since our break-up, I had one short unsuccessful relationship with another man, and a string of what I would call brief affairs. Dennis said 2 years ago I would be in a relationship soon; and he said that again last year, and I believe 6 months ago. I’ve had several readings, but I still haven't met anyone. As a matter of fact all the men I meet seem to use me, then never call again: a repeating pattern. But my real question here is, do I need to totally sever my friendship with my ex to find someone else? A: The short answer is, “it depends”. Remember how I wrote about the 10-year relationship (off and on) I had with my ex-husband? It had to end completely before I could meet Dennis. That doesn't mean you can’t still be friends; you just have to hold out no hope for getting back together as a couple. You can still maintain a business relationship if you don’t send out any romantic signals or e-mails. First, you must be absolutely sure you don’t still harbor romantic love for your ex, or he for you. You can still “love” him, but just not in the romantic sense. If you think there might still be a chance of getting back together, but he does not feel the same, it may be best for you to let someone else handle his accounts so you can totally close this door. First question: how does he feel about his new girlfriend making this demand on him? It’s apparent that she doesn’t trust the relationship between the two of you, and is displaying her own feelings of insecurity. Is she sensing signals you don't see? As for your recent spate of unsuccessful and short-lived relationships, what you’re doing is searching. Your twin soul is out there, but you must be ready to recognize him. I met Dennis exactly 2 years after I was told in a reading that my twin soul was waiting for me to get ready. I, too, had to experience an unsuccessful relationship and a string of “brief affairs”. Don’t discount such experiences. They’re for your growth. You certainly now know what you don’t want, right? Before you can settle down, you must be certain that you are completely ready to enter into an unconditional relationship. That’s one with no strings attached, no jealousy, no fears, and no third party hanging in the background around an uncaulked door. If that means you must end all ties with your ex, then do it. Move on, and know your next greatest adventure is just around the corner and through an available open door. |

Dennis' Corner |
|
|
Response to last month's Corner I thank all of you who responded to my article about the “Illusion" we call life. To those who sent letters saying they didn’t agree, I honor you for speaking your truth. I also urge you to be true to that truth: bring it close to your soul, feel it, live it and love it completely. To the many who wrote in expressing their agreement, I also thank you. To all of you I send love and light and wish you many blessings on your personal spiritual journey. If what I wrote sparked questions within your soul, then it performed the task that I had set forth. In my monthly Corner, I will be giving you information sent through from the other side which I wholeheartedly believe and by which I completely live my life. I approach my column as a venue where I can spotlight a subject that I feel needs to be addressed. The Corner and my writings are here to make you question, to make you think, and to help you to move forward in your life to become “who you really are”. They are also written to give you yet another point of view. If what I have written and/or will write sparks a negative note within you, look at why that comes up; maybe it is something that begs you to work on or in the least, look at more closely. As I’ve always done, and as I’ve always told others, take what rings true for you, and discard what does not. Either way, I thank you for showing up. |

Dennis' Corner: The Review It has been said, when we die we each pass to the other side and go through an orientation and a review of our life. Yes, it’s true, we do go through an orientation, but only to wipe away the cloak of forgetfulness we donned when we were born into human life. This cloak was needed for us to achieve the goals, experience the experiences, and fulfill the agreements we set out for ourselves in this incarnation without prior knowledge of what is to come. Usually we aren’t able to see through the cloak unless we have chosen to give ourselves a glimpse of a past life for some sort of healing experience in our present incarnation. Without this cloak we would have complete access to all knowledge and there would be no reason to be here, no reason to experience. Now, having complete access is not a “bad” thing, because “bad” is a human judgment. However, it would defeat the purpose of the experiences we have set up for ourselves. It would not allow us to perceive each of these experiences as a new and exciting step in our adventure. This wiping away of the cloak can actually be viewed as being “born back into the other side”. When you understand what happens when we are born into this life, then it only makes sense that the trip back would be somewhat similar. One must go through the birth canal (tunnel) to arrive at our real home. When we make the journey back through the tunnel the cloak is lifted and we are given back our memory of home. We discard our human “clothes” and don our true persona and are allowed to see all that we have been through in all of our incarnations including this one. This process is called our “life review.” The life review is given to us because only in seeing how our actions affected others can we get a complete picture of each event. Seeing our life from the perspective of others, along with our own, gives us a more complete experience. However, knowing we planned our lives together, we see the agreements we came to with others and we are happy that we were able to fulfill these contracts. While they’re happening, some agreements seem to be negative when we look at them through our human eyes, but not during our review. We are able to see the true gifts that were received by all who were involved in each and every event. Life, whether or not humanly judged “good” or “bad”, never has a negative effect on us as spiritual beings. Being in life is the experience we chose; the actual acts are all part of that experience. |

Expressions through Poetry |
|
|
Haikus Future issues will feature some of the poetry which many of you have sent to us. We'll select a couple for the next issue, and depending on space, may feature 1 piece in each future issue. Each author retains the copyright to his or her poem. This issue features some fun Haikus which our Woo-Woo group decided to create. Of course, Alice's were on the subject of Twin Souls, and Dennis' were about Mediums. A Haiku is a 3-line unrhymed poem with 5, 7, and 5 syllables per line, respectively. It's a Japanese style of verse that expresses an opinion or belief. They're fun to create, and are so expressive with just a few short lines. But be careful; Haiku writing can become addictive. Once you begin thinking of your own Haikus, you won't be able to stop. We hope you enjoy ours as much we enjoyed writing them. Send us your favorite original piece, and we just may surprise you with publication in a newsletter. Include copyright information with your name, city & state, and year the piece was written or first published. |

Intuitive Spirit Art |
|
|
Art by Ali Through her Intuitive Spirit Art drawn only during readings and Messages from Beyond circles, Alice serves as a "listener" and grounder of positive energy and receives messages via her own intuitive process. The unique designs are Alice's interpretation of the information coming through, and are shared with you as a part of the reading process. Combining their twin soul energies, Dennis often uses Alice's drawings to key into the information that is being given to him from Spirit guides and loved ones on the other side. Each newsletter will feature a piece of art drawn during a reading or circle. If you have a story to go with your own Ali Art, let us know. Or, if you have any questions about the process, Alice will answer those in future issues. www.denalilove.com/alices_artwork.htm |

Featured Art by Alice - Daisy Duck  Sitting across from me during a private reading in Las Vegas, Debbie saw her pet duck, Daisy, in the drawing that was facing her. She exclaimed, “That’s Daisy!” Sure enough, as I turned the sketch pad around, I saw the shape of a duck. I told her the Spirits were definitely guiding my hand as I couldn’t have drawn a duck if I’d tried, and certainly not upside down. This was the last of the 5 pieces drawn during Debbie’s reading, which clearly meant that Daisy did not want to be forgotten. In her honor, we titled this piece “Daisy Duck”. |

Viewing Art Online Art from circles is posted as soon as possible; art from in-person private readings is posted upon request. Each piece's ID# contains the date it was drawn and the order in which the reading came through. Circles are divided into Private and Public categories; private readings are listed by first name and last initial. The best way to search for a specific drawing is to word search by the first name of the person who attended the circle or who had a reading. To narrow the search or if you have a common first name, include your last name's initial or the name of the person or pet who came through in the reading. If your picture from a recent event isn't posted yet, or if you'd like to see a picture from an event dating back to July, 2001, please email us a request at art@denalilove.com www.denalilove.com/newstore |

Newsletter reaction... Dear Dennis and Alice, Loved the first newsletter! You can be sure I will be here waiting for the next one. In Dennis' corner, I never really gave thought that we are on the path for which we have no control. I guess I thought when we right a wrong by getting off drugs, changing our attitudes, reading great books by people like yourselves, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, etc., that our path had actually changed. Now I think what you are actually trying to communicate is that the "new" path is not new at all, but the one we chose before we entered this life. We experienced the things we were supposed to; then knew we were going to find the "better" pathways and found a more fulfilling life by meeting the people, reading the books, etc. that are the catalyst to our happiness. How do you like that one? Keep up the excellent work. You can use my full name with my permission. You are doing such a great service to so many people that I am proud to know you both! Carolea Evans (South Florida) Dear Alice and Dennis, I very much enjoyed your first newsletter and already I have the first questions which I would like you to answer if and when you have time. Dennis wrote that free will is an illusion and that our incarnations are planned in great detail during our times in the spiritual world. What about a person who becomes a murderer? Does he/she also plan to take somebody's life? To me that doesn’t make sense. Can we really not go wrong, i.e. err from our plan, and make "mistakes"? Does really all and everything that we planned before we came into this life happen or can we "stray from the envisaged path"? The comparison Dennis made between planning one’s life and planning a journey seems very plausible to me. But we also only plan a journey up to a certain extent - sometimes we stick to our plan, sometimes during the journey unexpected "things" may happen and we change the plan as we go along. Could it not be the same when we plan our life that we make a general plan e.g. who we want to meet, who our parents are, what career we want? But then there are many other things that happen in our life that we may not have planned. Silke (Germany) Hi Silke, We're so glad you enjoyed the 1st newsletter...it's exciting to know it's being read in Germany! Your question is a good one, and one that's often asked. It's definitely going to be covered in detail in our next book. In fact, here's a similar question I received the other day, and my response: In response to "Life is an Illusion" I would pose this question. If we plan out our lives before we enter this realm how do we explain people like Saddam and Hitler? They, too, came from the light, so how is it that their lives are so evil? Your question is perfect...it's also answered perfectly in Conversations With God, Book 1. The short version is just this: all of life is relative...you must know "up" to know "down"; you must know "tall" to know "short"; and you must "evil" to know and understand "good". Yes, there are "evil" people in this world, there are saints, and there are those in-between. All are spiritual beings who have chosen to take human form to have human experiences. In order to know the experience of war, and other "evil" things, someone had to volunteer to play those roles. And, that's really all we're doing here on earth: role playing. I hope that helps explain it a little more for you, Silke. We do believe that each step is carefully planned before we get here, so although it may appear to be free choice, the choices are not actually being made at this moment in time. The free choice occurred while you were in Spirit form making your choices to be here. Knowing this to be true, there is just no way you can ever make a wrong choice. There are no "what if's", no worries about the "road not taken", and no need for guilty feelings. Each decision is perfect, and is being played out exactly as it was planned. Just like playing a video game with pre-programmed selections....you choose different ways to go; then you start all over and choose again. That becomes a different life and different selection of experiences. |

Confirmations of Readings Dennis, I had the privilege of being in two message circles where I received a message through you. I was very surprised by how accurate the information was and stunned by the information you received. Much of the information you received is known by only a select few. It was a bit overwhelming. I have many emotional scars and wounds that I thought would never heal. After the first session, I immediately felt emotionally drained for about a week, but during that time I was starting to heal emotionally. I don't know how, but the scars and wounds started to heal. I feel such relief!! I have been carrying around a great burden for over 20 years and now that burden is lifting. I believe I may even have forgiven. Thank you so much for your gift. I hope others can benefit from a reading. Laurie B. (Seattle, WA) |

Just
a note thanking you for another amazing reading. I was very
intrigued by the messages that came through for me. I am always
especially amazed at how you manage to tell me stuff that is
already beginning to unfold. You may remember that last February
I went into a tailspin as in a reading in early January you had
said my Twin and I would be together in about 6 months, but
instead my Twin suddenly closed off communication with me. I
e-mailed a frantic message to you asking what happened and if I
should have another reading and you wrote This
is just another step in the process. No, you don't need another
reading because the same things would come through. Just have
patience that you have always had and move forward. Everything
is fine and is working as the universe and "you"
planned it. Take care...and remember... breathe in, breathe out
and keep repeating...(that was my attempt at lightness) but most
importantly...be patient. There
are such powerful forces at work here. And you, Dennis, are
among them. Thank you, Dennis, from the bottom of my
broken-but-mending heart. I will call on you again, I'm sure. (I
have to keep you posted, at least!) Meanwhile, I will think
about your and Beth |

Hmmm....thoughts to ponder. |

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are dull, some are pretty, some are taken out more than others, some are broken, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist together very nicely in the same box. |
