A few years ago, my wife bought me a copy of the dvd, because she's often referred to that film in relation to me, because, despite all her misgivings about what I do, she understands that I feel a need to share my simple discovery with others. But I recently realised there's a greater similarity to what I do, with the film, than I first realised. 

In the film, the character played by Kevin deals with famous people, both in the Afterlife, and one famous person in the physical world. At no point is he interested in taking advantage of this connection, and is simply doing what he feels he should. That is what I have done, and with relation to 'famous' persons, I feel the same. I have had numerous encounters with many famous persons (Afterlife) that I have not shared with anyone, because for various reasons, they didn't want me to. I have also from time to time had people of fame contact me, and request me not to share details. Regardless of whether someone is famous or not, if they do not wish any details to be shared, I respect that wish. 

Having said that, a few months ago I had some very specific information for the family of Michael Jackson. At the time, I used the very few connections I had to try and get that information to them, without success. I also have had private information for others, including the family of Casey Johnson. Over the past 2 weeks, I have been contacted by several people who are connected to people who are of some fame and would not want their privacy compromised. 

'My guys" (I have 5 who help me from time to time with various things from 'the other side') want me to share this next statement with you: I feel drawn to needing to share with those who may be in the limelight. I don't know why, and I have no desire to take advantage of this. I feel many would be interested in contact from loved ones in the Afterlife, but feel unable to trust anyone in this field, so I offer myself to those people if they wish. They may contact me directly using the 'ask a question' form, and if necessary, can use a false name. 

I haven't posted any famous readings lately because the ones I have done lately have been for private information. If you are generally interested in my doing a reading from someone famous, but not specifically for you (you only want to know about them, not you), then feel free to use that same form, and as I get time, I will post those 'interviews' on this page, at no charge. 

[During the 'interview' a few points came through that I have since checked, that don't seem right: I have checked the internet and cannot find reference to Anne, other than Anne (Hathaway) is playing Judy Garland – perhaps this is to give respect to her, or perhaps it was a character she played and liked the name. I leave it in here, as I always stick by what I am told, even if it appears wrong. If anyone reading this knows the connection, please let me know. The reference to the serious play – I did not find it during my quick search. Again, if you know it, please tell me and I'll note the name] It's Wed 16^th Dec 09.

My questions are in purple.

“I preferred to be called Anne, but everyone knew me as Judy. I do hope that Liza may read this, a friend will see this, and share this with her.

You were before my time, but I think it was a nice thing that Peter did writing that song for you. “There's a lady onstage”? [“Quiet Please, There's a Lady On Stage”] That must have been terrible being booed off stage?

Shattering after you've been so successful, so adored, for so long, as long as you can remember. As a young child, ...

You were a teenager in your first film, weren't you?

When you're older, you think of that as being a child. And to have people do that, that's devastating.

Did you ever perform after that?

I went to things, and I appeared at places, but I never put on a full performance, I just did a few rare performances that were very tight and couched amongst other people . Never a full performance again.

What was your happiest time?

People think it's the “Wizard of Oz”, and it was a delightful time, but it wasn't so delightful to make. All the magic of Hollywood whether it be today or yesterday, still it's quite a bit of work, and not quite as much fun as everybody thinks it is. I enjoyed making it but it wasn't my most enjoyable experience.

So what was?

I enjoyed performing on the stage better.

Did you do a lot of stage performances?

Yes. Yes, I did quite a few stage performances. That's why I was so upset later on, because I did, like a comeback I suppose, but it wasn't really a comeback to me, just seeing if ..

I don't know if people realise this, but I wasn't doing that because I needed to do it, I did that to be nice. I just thought it would be a nice thing to do, to put on a show... to do some of the things I had done in the past, and it would be nice. But they expected more than I could do.

Didn't you have a hard time with alcohol or something?

Yes. And to some extent I passed some of that trait to Liza, and she dealt with it very well, but there are times it gets away from her, but she's maintained her character, and done well.

I saw her perform on the Australian idol show, she did a remarkable performance. She actually got a standing ovation, and I don't think they were just being nice. I think everyone thought she did a fantastic job.

Yes she did and that was nice, and perhaps in a way, that was the applause I was hoping for. You know, I kind of think she did it for me. I know she worked at it and thought about it, she was determined to do it well, and she wasn't doing it for her. Oh no. She wasn't doing it for herself. She wasn't even doing it for all the people she was trying to help and coach on the show. Yes she likes to be an inspiration and yes she likes to help people and she's passionate about it, but she was doing that for me. I appreciate it so much Liz.

You said Liz, not Liza.

Yeah, I used to call her Liz.

So what were you in. Musicals?

Musicals, theatrics. I liked the audience. You don't get the audience when you're making a film I like the audience. That's again, why it was so upsetting when the audience didn't like me. Like a comedian, they get so worried, they try so hard, and people like them, and then one day, they don't do so well, and it destroys them.

It's a pity people do that.

Yes well, I suppose that makes them feel better if they criticise someone else. But I have to stop coming back to that. You asked me what I enjoyed. I enjoyed the stage. I enjoyed the serious one.

(painting a picture of someone or something I don't know, but it feels like a serious piece of theatre. If there's singing in it, there's very little, but it feels like there's no singing. Almost like Shakespeare, like serious theatre. This is what she says she enjoyed. I'll see if I can find a reference to it and place that at the end) [See notes at start of this post]

When you're known for singing in shows, or you're frivolous, you're never taken seriously. Marilyn, she was never really taken seriously, and apart from all the sex appeal, she really wanted to be taken a bit more seriously. She created her own dilemma. But when you sing, think about all the people who sing in theatre and shows, they aren't taken as a serious actor. Even though people enjoy it, go to it, like it, … Elvis, and lots of others, someone who can act, but sings in a show, you don't take them seriously. That's why it was nice to do something serious that wasn't a musical. Mind you, people didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't a success, and the season was cut short. I didn't take it personally, I was just part of the whole show, certainly my name was up there, but I wasn't the main attraction, so I didn't feel quite so bad. We'd all failed. Perhaps the story was too serious. It seems hard for someone to cross over from light weight to heavyweight acting, most fail.

So what of the childhood situation? Lots of child stars don't translate to adult stars.

Well it's the same problem, dear. Same problem. You grow up. Someone who is known in a certain way, a certain theme, expression, their youthfulness, and you grow up and people want to see the person as they were. If you could keep a child star young, it would be wonderful!

The person who plays Harry Potter, seems to be making the transition.

Yes. He is, but he is struggling to be accepted as an adult actor, playing more serious roles, and he will continue to struggle. It will take him a while. He's very determined, and he enjoys his craft, and he doesn't take it too seriously, so mentally he'll be okay with it, but it will take him a while.

See Johnny Depp is one who, well, he was a teenager, but he was basically a child star who struggled to be taken seriously in any other role. It was cleaver what he did. He turned his back on Hollywood, and did small projects, and it was the small things that were serious, not big projects, not overly successful, but what it did, the people who could, the producers, they could watch his work. See he was good. He could do it. They could see that.

See I did a lot of stage work in order to become established as an adult star. The boy who plays Harry Potter – he was right to do that small budget Australian film.

If I could offer a piece of advice for him, if he's trying to play different roles, I think he needs to fill out the way he acts. So by that, I mean, he tended to play in that Australian film a similar person to what he was playing in Harry potter. He needs to follow more like Johnny Depp, like, he dressed as scissors, and although it was ridiculous, what it allowed him to do was become something completely different. So whenever you're typecast, you need to do things that are completely different.

Were you happy with your life?

I had a good life. It was interesting. I did a lot of things. Met a lot of important people, but to be honest. It doesn't matter. Still. Do you know when it all boils down to it, the best thing I ever did was raise Liza. I wasn't there enough for her. But I did show her by example what it took to be successful, the character of it. Don't look at my personal failings. You can still have personal failings and pass on to your children good character traits and examples to your children.

You can have a weakness, and yet pass on the strength of that weakness to your children.

If you can't do that, you can share that with your child and develop it so they can see to be better at that.

I am pleased with how Liza turned out and I'm sorry I wasn't there enough for her. She's done well. And it's lovely to see how she helps people. She helps others far more than what you see. She's always helping people. And a lot of what she does to help people is just to be there to listen, to talk. She's doing well.

(Feeling the interview is drawing to a close)

Thank you.

Thank you Phil.

As I mentioned at the start, I am unsure about some of these things, but I leave them in, as I share what I get, or what I feel, as I do with individual readings. If you are a friend of Liza, perhaps you could mention this to her.

I'm in a motel in Melb 30^th Nov, 2009, laying down, ready to go to sleep, Felt like someone was with me, wanting to talk. I was reminded of almost the same situation a few years ago, motel, in Melbourne, when Steve Irwin came through. I'll have to check, but I think it was even the same time of year. Tried to contact Terri after that, without success. An image of Bindi, all the attention, the criticism for pushing her too hard, pops into my head. My questions are in purple.

“You've all got the wrong idea. We always made things larger than life. That's what she was so good at doing. Making things larger than life (Terri). We were already working on making Bindii larger than life. If you're going to do anything that causes change, if you're going to take millions of people and change their thinking to saving the world, the animals, if you have a cause, the only way you can take action, the only way you can achieve action, is by grabbing people's attention .

You have to make things larger than life, and one of the ways of doing that is to take an extroverted child who loves the attention and put her right up there. She's not afraid. She's going to be a tough warrior. When she's older, she'll take on the critics and she'll nail them, nice as anything, but she'll nail them. You have to be. Have to be tough working with the media.

No different to working with animals. (Laugh) You were going to say (type) 'dangerous animals' then! They're not dangerous animals. They're creatures. And you have to treat them with respect. You wouldn't like someone poking you around. Invading your home. What would you do? Try to defend yourself. You might even attack them. Are you being mean, vicious? No. you're just defending what's yours. They're trying to defend what's theirs.

I was thinking of the accident...

It was just one of those things.

Did you know it was the end?

Oh I knew the instant it happened. I knew. It was all over.

Could you have avoided it?

Well I should have.

What were you doing.

I was just looking. In my own way, I was just loving it (the stingray). I guess I just invaded it's space too much but I was just being 'one' with it. I wasn't really doing it for the show (camera), I was just enjoying being part of it's life. I must have scared it.

Could you have avoided it?

Well, it's easy now you look back, but at the time, no. Done it before. You know yourself. You have a pet dog, and you know what you can and can't do with it, and one day, out of the blue, it does something unexpected, and it has a go at you. Doesn't mean you're going to put the dog, down, it's just one of those things.

So are you happy with how she's taking care of things, (Terri) of how it's going?

I'm happy with how she's taking care of the family, but she's not really in control of the farm.

The zoo? Why did you call it a farm?

A zoo is what people call it, a zoo is where you stick animals in – a freak show. This is like a farm to me, all my animals around me, and I look after them and love them. You grow them. Wasn't a zoo to me, never was. But you have to call it a zoo, people wouldn't come to a farm!

So Terri's not running the farm.

No. And I'm not totally okay with that. But that's not to say it's her fault. See, it's a big project, it's a big thing, it's like a huge piece of equipment, and it takes a few people to run it. And then to the side, she has to be mum and dad, and that's hard. That's hard, Any single parent will tell you that. Struggles with just the family. Then it's all the careers, and everything else, that's a lot, so there's no pointing the finger on my part, no blame . To be honest, I never ran the farm either. I was a part of it and I loved it, but I didn't run it.

So are you unhappy with how it's being run.

A little. I feel there's too much emphasis on running it as a business, but then I suppose you have to these days. I didn't treat it as a business. It was my playground. Then again, I probably wouldn't have made a dollar out of it if I had been the one running it. Besides, it's running it like a business that's keeping the dollars, so we can do great things. That's good.

So what of the future?

Well, I think Bindii needs to have a bit more growing up time. I think it's right if she takes things a little easier, grows and enjoys growing, comes out the other end as this beautiful teenager that's strong and tough, passionate and has a cause, is afraid of no one. Do great things.

That's where I see this going. There's lot of things happening, lots of projects. Terri's got the right idea just to shield her a little bit. I think that's right.

Steve, you first came to me and didn't want me to share anything publicly, as in specifically, when I was writing my first book, you didn't want anything in it about your visit. I tried to get that message to Terri. You must know what I'm doing now. Are you okay with me sharing these details?

Yes. I've seen how you work, and I've seen how you've treated both people in the spirit world, and people who are in a position of fame in the physical world, and I can see the respect and dignity you carry your work out with, so I am happy, and I trust you to share this appropriately.

There must be a lot of other people around the world who are passionate about a cause.

That's true and maybe it's not animals, but if someone's passionate about what they want to say, then you need to try and say it.

But that's not always easy. You may have a message, but not always the vehicle and the means to say it.

True. I tried and failed. It was Terrie who came along and made it. It wasn't all good luck. I was passionate about what I did but the circumstances just created itself for Terri to see me, to see the message I was trying to get across, and anybody with a cause, including your own, Phil, if you just keep trying to get your message out there, things happen. If people are doing worthy things, good things, others take notice of that.

Sometimes it can seem forever.

Yes it can, but how long has it been really?

A few years.

Try 10.  I'd been trying to get the message out there for 10.

So for me, and anyone else, with a cause, you're saying “just keep going.”

Yes. I looked for the avenues to get ahead, but I wasn't obsessed by them. It was the reason for my day. I just kept trying to get my message across: that's it's worth trying to save the animals. And the planet.

So what do you think about all this carbon trading scheme?

That's a hard one. I think the Australian politicians, or at least the ones trying to push the emission's thing – their heart is in the right spot. They really are trying to do the right thing, and this meeting in Copenhagen, to be honest, all hell is going to break loose. There will be a lot of talk, and sadly, not quite as much action as some people would like. Defer things, but that's what always happens.

Go back to the days of the industrial revolution, and think of England, and all the buildings were black from the soot, and it was even depicted in films and Walt Disney films, That wasn't just for ten years. That was decades. It was very obvious to so many people that they needed to change things. But how? They were using what was the most efficient method to produce energy (then), and the fact that it was polluting, and probably not making people terribly well, was secondary. I'm sure that had it's fair share of affecting the greenhouse gasses. But it takes a long time to change. If you go back in history, you'll see that took a long time to change. It took a lot of voices before action finally occurred.

But action did finally occur, it did finally happen. But if you go back to the individual people at the time, there was hardship there. You take away a fairly efficient, cheap, reasonably way of making energy with coal, and try to make it clean, it becomes expensive. And that's what we're going through now. Go forward 50 or 100 years, and they'll look back at this, and wonder why we took so long deciding what to do, but they'll forget it took money, and it impacted on peoples lives in 2009, and it's not just about the change. It's scary, and people have to change their thinking, their equipment, the way you do things has to change. It's no different to the industrial revolution with coal. And we'll get there, but there will be a lot of heartfelt debate.

You didn't answer the question about whether the trading scheme is the way to go.

I don't think long term, it will be the way to go. I think it's an attempt to force change. See if you make something you don't want expensive, then something you DO want becomes cheaper. And you change to it. It's like, if you make petrol ten times the price, and you made battery operated cars half the price, then people will change. But you can't take a new technology and make it cheaper straight away. So what this is effectively doing is taking a petrol car, and make it, say $100,000 so that the green version is only $60,000. In the meantime, there will be a lot of people who wouldn't be able to afford cars. And there will be hardship.

Is there another way?

I don't think people can understand another way. That's the sad part. I think there are better ways than effectively charging people for polluting, but it won't work, because ultimately people need to feel it's cheaper to do something else, to change.

Could more be done to change the world, with pollution?

Well, I think it would be good if somehow a house could be effectively turned into an environmental friendly item. Australian's love to build new homes, so I'd like to see built into the carbon rules, a system where it became compulsory to have every green thing that we know of today, without exception. That would make a difference. And then find a way to make it affordable.

You have to make the green alternative the affordable one. And you have to make the non-green alternative unaffordable. For example, if you're building a house for $200,000, and you were going to make it completely environmentally friendly, compared to a non-green, non-recycling house where the government taxed you an extra $50,000, and then the govt subsidises the green version by $50,000 it would make the green house affordable, without making it dearer. That would cleaver. The govt could do that, tied in with the trading scheme. And you could apply that concept to other things. Not just to balance the income and expense of the trading scheme, but to really push people, and give them a solid reason, to change.  It's radical. But it's doable. Globally.

You almost sound interested in politics.

No, I would never want to get into politics. Couldn't stand the BS. But I do feel passionate about certain things, and that's why I was never afraid to stand up and talk about things, to talk to some of these people and tell them to do something.

So if you were alive today, would you be involved in this emission's debate?

I would make my thoughts known.

Is Terri?

No. No. That's not what she's about.

You love her don't you. ( I can hear it in his voice)

With all my heart. She knows I'm around. I spend all my days with her. She hears me and she knows I'm there. She holds my hand, and I hold hers, and I put mine over the top of hers. When she hugs, she feels me there. I give a hug back.

I miss her.

Is there anything you'd like me to say if I got the chance? I tried last time.

I know you did. She has a very good defence system up there. I don't think you're gonna talk to her. If you ever do, tell her I love her still. She's doing okay.

Is that all?

Yes. Thanks.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S Son, or Grandson.

I've pre-dated thisas it happened prior to my Patrick Swayze encounter: 

"I was just wondering if anyone was going to contact me this morning. Then I got the feeling that someone down from Abraham. Bray. Brandon. Something like this. I know very little about American history, so I'll share what comes through. After this session, I did a little research to see if I could make sense of some things. The name Bray only comes up as a reference to books that Abraham Lincoln read, so perhaps someone with family knowledge may know if a name like that, or sounds like that, is associated with the family tree. The discussion is rather brief, but shares some insight.  My words or thoughts are in purple

Perhaps his descendent could verify some things.

He's coming through because he thinks it would be interesting to put a different perspective on someone who is well known, well documented. This person speaks very refined, very importantly, slowly, considered. (my original recording is retained).

I'll refer all the time to this being grandfather or grandson. If I'm out by a generation, just adjust it. I don't always get facts and figure type detail, rather the feelings of it.

“My grandfather was important, but not for celebrity reasons. He was important for what he did. Was immensely important. He fundamentally brought people together. The history books show he was a pioneer of ideas, but I would like to suggest he was a pioneer of bringing people together.

In his later years, he could command the attention of any audience that he was in front of. If it was a family gathering, his presence as he walked in the room would command the attention of all. All would pause and listen as he spoke.

If it was a family gathering, political, or humanitarian cause, even if people had differing opinions, he could unite their thinking for a single purpose. In his later years he was involved in helping humanitarian causes, but the meaning of that word has changed over the years. In my language, my time, the right word is humanitarian.

Let me explain. He would make himself available to be present at a number of functions, or events, as you call them today, where it was for the good of people. We weren't at that stage in life, thinking in terms of humanitarian as helping people in need as you think of it today, but for our time, it was our way of helping people in need – people who lacked the voice. Abraham lent his voice, opinion, and considerable weight to these causes.

For no other reason than he believed in these.

Wasn't Abraham's life ended early?

The person I describe did grasp life to the full and commanded it to a reasonable age for the time. 

Why do you come through? I'm confused. I'm not sure this is Abraham, or his son.

As you call it celebrity, today, I have no interest in assisting your means. I talk of someone who was immensely important and well known for the time, and did great good, did good deeds, was respected in his own right.

(I feel the person visiting me is his son, rather than Grandson. He wants to share that he was given a very special box, passed down, and this was from Abraham, and still is in the family.)

“Correct. I was given, and passed down and remains in the family, a box. A small wooden box, which has great age, great character, as a souvenir, as an honour, as recognition of work done by Abraham in his term of office. Which contains a number of small things which to many may seem unimportant.

I have the feeling of seeing one or two of these objects being removed, as if the box does not contain all of the things originally placed in it. Almost like those things are in a museum, but the rest, and the box itself, stays with the family today.

Correct. The box is with the family, now. It means little to the family now, but it means an enormous amount to the family of my time, it has been requested in ongoing wills that this item shall remain in the family for as long as there are children.

Have you ever visited anyone in your family?

I have sat serenely beside them.

(I have been shown young children, like young great granddaughter)

Although there are many, I favour this one now. She is at an appropriate age to share the wonder of life, the miracle of discovery,.

(this person is somewhere between the ages of 5 and 8 approx.)

She is at an age where she is aware of great spirits around her, but is at an age that society accepts that children have imaginary friends. The family will recognise her actions as being consistent with what I have just stated.

The thought or belief that the spirit world can contact the physical world is very hard for my family to comprehend. To them, it is in the realm of the story 'A Christmas Carol' referring to the visits of the 3 ghosts of Christmas. In a euphoric sense they believe this but in the true sense they have no command of the possibility, no acceptance.

Does it make you sad?

It makes me sad, but they are no different to me, and just as in Christmas Carol, I have passed my beliefs down the family. It would give me much joy if the family from here on may come to understand the end is not when we die.

Is there anything you would like me to say to your family, if possible?

I doubt the opportunity will ever present itself, therefore I will say no to your offer but I thank you for your gesture. Thank you good day.  

I was going to leave this exchange off the blog, but today, I strongly feel as if I should share it. I don't know the reason now, perhaps it will be more obvious later. Perhaps it may help someone. -Phil.

On 18th November, 2009, I was visited by a girl who died from a life-threatening disease. She is well known in Australia, and was married for too short a time, to a very well-known Australian personality. She has specifically asked me not to mention her name, rather share her message for those suffering a similar, terminal or potentially terminal illness, to help them deal with day-to-day life. She didn't want any more hardship put on anybody that was associated with her, in sharing what she went through. 

I recorded my 'conversation' with her as I usually do, but when I went to copy it to my computer for transcribing, the audio file was blank. (which has never happened to me before). So I will recreate, as best I can, the conversation as it occurred. I will be guided by her if I am to omit any detail.

Where appropriate, my questions or feelings of what she wants to share are in purple. Her words, where they come through, are in pink.

Can I say, a well-known person?

You can say it's a well-known celebrity that died too soon.

People referred to you as being 'brave'. Putting up with what you had to deal with...

At the time I never felt brave. It's no different to, if you had for example, a broken leg. It's not something you wish for it's not something you are happy about. You put up with it, you carry on, because that's what you do. And that's what I went through, and that's what I did,  even know I went through something significantly worse than a broken leg. I got on with my life and found that is what helped me most and that's what I wanted to share with others.

There was a point where she became quite upset (or the original recording) when I was talking to her. She first came through on Friday morning, and on Sunday night, two days later her husband announced that he's going to quit his TV show. So I don't know if the timing of the third visit ( on 19th) to me was significant.

She would like to help others who are in a situation where they may not recover.  I asked if there is any way I can put anything down for people reading this to confirm who it is -people are going to want to know it's true. She really doesn't care about my need to prove.

Although I was in the public eye, I was a very private person. An extremely private person. No one knew about my private side, except my husband. Even from my close family. Don't identify me. Don't sensationalise me. Not the reason, not the goal. I want to help those going through what I went through. It was painful to share at the time. Still. 

So this piece is being written purely to help people who are going to a situation where it may be life threatening. If you stop reading because of that than I am sorry but I hope continue and that is her wish. She is happy to proceed on that basis.

If you're faced with a situation where something has happened to you where you can't or may not be able to recover from,  do things. Don't treat life as this as if it's your last day.

This is what she was so upset about the other day. It upset her that some people say "Live every day as if it's your last"

(she cries). The people who say that don't expect today to be their last day. They don't know what it's like. Live every day to the full. Do everything you can to enjoy life, help people, and do things.  It's the way it should be and it takes your mind off things. Do what you have to, medically, to try and get better, but  don't let that hold you back from enjoying life.

I just realised that's why I had her and Patrick come through almost the same time, (originally) because they went through similar things, they were in the same situation. He lived his life as this person did. (See separate interview with Patrick Swayze)

You can't put your life on hold, but you can't live it as if it's your last, either. It's too depressing to live every day is it's your last. That's the message I want you to share.

To the partners who are left behind: When someone passes away, too soon, before time, it's okay to carry on your life and meet other people, and end up remarrying. It's okay, but it's also okay to be open to being able to say 'hello'  from time to time, to those from the afterlife. What she is trying to say is this: Whilst it's okay to remarry, don't block out the person who's gone. Be open to the fact that they could be in your thoughts and in your heart, and can from time to time, if you're open to it,  'talk' to them and enjoy them being around. But that's not in the sense that they are trying to block out the new person in your life.

This person (her partner, left behind) has recently announced a fairly major change to their life. She just wants to say:

Whatever you do, it's all right, and I'll always support you as I always did, whatever you decide. Don't listen to anyone else, listen to your heart.

That's definitely all she wants to say. I know many who will read this may think I have just made it up. I haven't. I say this and share this in good faith.

She wants to help those who are faced with a difficult life-threatening situation. She does want me to say: be calm,  be in peace. 

Don't agonise over this.  Don't be too hard on yourself.  live life to the full, however you managed to do that. Do as much as you can do.  As much as you are able to or want to. But don't live life as if it's your last day. Don't give up on life. Don't try to be brave, determined, or angry.  Enjoy the time you have. 

This concludes this 'interview' and I hope the message helps those who are dealing with a life-threatening illness. - Phil G

I want to start the column off with a girl, whom I do not know of, who was living in a Victoria (Australia) country town in the 1950's. I share it in the hope that her family may know who I am talking about, and read this. This came to me early 2008. [brackets are when I ask a question or make a statement outside of what is coming through]

My head is being pushed forward, hard, chin against my chest. I can't breath. I am in a house small, or a hut, like a one-room place, with bare boards. One had is on the top of my head, there is an arm on the back of my neck. The person doing this is large and very strong. There are others watching, 2 in front, one behind me. They're encouraging the guy to do this but not involved. My arms are trying to stop the attack, so the one behind me grabs my left arm and twists it behind my back. I am being pushed to the ground,. My knees touch the floor, then I hear a crack, and I lose feeling, but I am not dead. I go limp, there is a cheers from the others, they think I'm dead I drop to the floor limp, but I'm not dead. I hear them. The main one says that will teach him for snooping.

I had been looking in the window, trying to see who they were. This is in a country area, like farmhouses, fairly open, but still close to the town. She's someone I felt the need to protect, sister, or close friend like a sister. I was sitting on the front steps of her house, sobbing. I saw her, asked her what was wrong. She wouldn't tell me. She said she was attacked by some guys, but wouldn't tell me. She told me they went through the scrub. I wanted to go to the police. She begged me not too, but I took off anyway. I am mid-teens as if I'd used a bike, but didn't have this here, so the police station must have been close enough to enable me to run to it. Just out of view, I turned to go through the scrub to see if I could find who they were. I came across a small hut could hear voices, could see someone in there. I went up to the window to look, and they saw me.

She thought I had gone to the police. I was mid teens. She didn't tell her mum what happened. Later when I didn't return, she told her mum I had an argument and run away. They (in the hut) are talking about what to do with me. One said to bury me, but they said it was too obvious. No one comes to this place, so the big one sees a break in one of the floor boards, and reefs the board up. The others join in to pull a few boards up. I'm rolled in. They kick me into the hole. It's damp, cold, horrible. I am laying on dirt on my left side, my left arm outstretched above my head, on the ground. They put the boards back and stomp on them.

The time feels maybe 1950's. There is a lady, this feels a few weeks later, there are some cobwebs in the house. She has a rifle. She is hunting something, that's been a nuisance. She has a white top on. The rifle is parallel to the ground, tucked under her right arm against her body, with her arm resting under the end of the rifle to hold it level, like she's relaxed but ready to shoot. She's going through the scrub when she thinks she smells a dead animal. She goes into the house, and sees a plant or weed growing up through the hole in the floor. She puts the rifle barrel into the hole, and levers the board up. She sees my red check shirt of my arm outstretched. She runs back into the house. It's an old phone, either a crank handle one, or one you pick up and talk to the operator, because she doesn't dial anything, there isn't anything to dial. She asks for the police.

The girl still says nothing, she doesn't want to get in trouble. The police find lots of evidence of who was there, and through circumstantial evidence, the main one is in jail for a long time, the others were dobbed in by the main one, but got shorter terms. He didn't get life because they couldn't prove he did it.

She never married. (The girl on the steps). She's middle aged now. Happy, a little lonely. Has lots of friends, but never married. She always felt it was her fault about the attack, and her fault I died. She thought if she told mum when she got home, she may have been able to save me, but she didn't know I went straight there. And they didn't talk or anything, they just straight away did away with me. So you couldn't have saved me.

I visit you. (Today's family). There is a photo of me (you don't have many because the family was poor), and it's on a low table like a bed-side chest, and it keeps falling over, on it's front, and on it's back. I do that. It happens a lot, and it looks rather tattered, but you look at it a lot.

I'm holding a small object about 1 inch diameter and 1 foot long, white or silver, like a vase, with just a few flowers in it. You hold this frequently, it honors me. You specifically hold it resting in your right hand, and your left hand lays gently on the full length of it. You don't put your palm across it, it cradles the object the full length of your palm.

When you see the sunset, you think of me. I do visit you far more than you know. You are not in the best of health. You still have some time to go, but you've had better days. Don't be scared of dying. I'll be there for you when it happens.

[Have I got everything?] Yes, you have the main things. I so appreciate your time to do this, and the double effort you went though.

[No problem. I hope my 'guys' help this message to reach her. ]
