The Guardians answer,
Blessings Kara,
Such a
wonderful compassionate question Dear one.
There
have been many such occurrences both in your past and in
your present, as there will be in your future time. This
type of assistance is used when there are sudden mass
passing's of many souls at one time or within a very short
period of time. When a large "natural disaster", as you call
them, or man made occurs and many souls are taken without
much warning or preparation. The suddenness and trauma of
their passing leaves many souls confused and somewhat tied
to the earth bound realms. Many beings from both sides of
the veil are activated to help these confused souls find
their bearings and to comfort them on their journey to the
next level of their journey.
Re-member Dear ones many, if not all, of the souls involved
in such events gave their permission to participate in them
before they entered the earth plane. They simply forget once
they arrived and it often takes some time and adjustment to
remember it even immediately after they pass over.
Offering assistance is a totally appropriate response to the
situation and does not "cheat" anyone out of anything. These
souls still have the choice to accept the assistance offered
or refuse it and stay where they are. Most accept the
assistance after they get over the initial shock of leaving
their earthly bodies so suddenly. There are those who will
stay earth bound for sometime if they feel they can complete
some tasks left undone from that level of existence. In some
cases, it is simply to stay close to loved ones for a short
time to help them through the grief of their own passing.
All
assistance should be offered in pure unconditional love and
given in the light of the highest good of the individuals
involved. Simply pouring out your love to be used in the
highest good of all is of the greatest benefit to all
concerned.
Blessings one and all...
