Bill is just an ordinary guy who has had extraordinary things happen to him since the passing of his son Greg. Susan writes it all down. The Calgary, Canada affiliate leaders are on an amazing journey with their son. 

YOU ARE THE AWOKEN ONE FOR US ALL
During a meditation almost two years ago, Bill received a powerful message from his higher self about ancestral bonds, karma, reincarnation, and the extraordinary impact that you, as an individual soul, can have not only on yourself but countless numbers of your ancestors – when you wake up.
Since then, the astounding importance of that message has continued to reveal itself with greater understanding and guidance from our son Greg who communicates with his Dad through automatic writing, and we can now share it with you. 
After our 27-year-old son left this Earth 11 years ago, Bill discovered he's able to instantly get into what he calls “the zone” and connect with Greg, his other guides, and a whole host of other beings including his spirit animal, a jaguar. On this particular evening, as Bill was meditating while lying on the floor of our home office, he found himself in a jungle. Here is what Bill experienced in his words:
“I immediately thought as I'm looking out into this bush area with trees and deep brush underneath, ‘There's a jaguar looking at me.’ So I scan the bottom of the jungle floor in the brush for him, and all of a sudden I saw his eyes peering at me. He was totally camouflaged.
“I then walked into a clearing and there's a single giant tree with grass underneath it, and the jaguar is sitting in the tree, looking at me. He was talking to me, and he said, ‘I can see for you great distances because I have the bird's eye view sitting up here in this tree, and I am your protection.’ He was sitting on a big branch and his tail was swishing back and forth.
“Then suddenly, I find myself back on the floor in the office, still in meditation with my eyes closed, and the jaguar is standing right beside me at my left shoulder and I'm looking up at his huge head about four inches above my eyes. I can see the under part of his jaw and the fur on his jaw is white.
“Then a man's head appears at my right shoulder and he says, ‘You are in the ethereal realm and I am your higher self. You are the awoken one for us all.’
“The message I got as I came out of my meditation was, ‘You've got nothing to fear. You are awake.’”
The hardship endured after the passing of a child can put parents on the path to awakening - that's what happened to Bill when Greg left this Earth. But what exactly does it mean to be awake, especially when most of us have no idea that we're asleep? For the answer, I asked Bill to ask Greg, and here's what our son told us in his inimitable way:
To be awake is to realize who you truly are. That you are one with the Divine Creator and that your will is in alignment with God's will, the Source. To be awake is to be fully aware that you are part of the One sharing unity consciousness. To not be awake is to drag your butt to work in the morning on Monday hating everything you do. When you are asleep, you just have no idea of what and who you are, no concept of your connection to everything, no sense of being an eternal being. All you think is, ‘What is happening to me in 3D is all there is.’”
By maintaining your connection to Source for love and support through the hardship, and having learned to align your will with God's will, Greg says, “You have proven your readiness to evolve to the next level. It is a graduation and there will be much celebration for those who have accomplished this awakening and remembering while in a world of separation and forgetting. This accomplishment is amazing. God celebrates you as does all the cosmos for what you bring us. You have passed the test.”
 
Waking up to our oneness with the Divine Creator while here in this separated place is so supremely important that it sets in motion a reconnection to a higher dimension of living. Here's how Greg describes it, and it's a beautiful picture of what many call the 5D world:
Once you realize you are one with Source, all your connections to the Universe come back into play. You reconnect with Mother Earth on a new level, appreciating all the life that exists on this planet, and the love and abundance that She and God provide for you. You reconnect with your higher self and your true consciousness, knowing you are helping in this process to expand your higher self through your awakening. You reconnect to all your ancestors and departed loved ones on the other side of the veil.

In fact, your ancestors are actually waiting for the one to arrive in their lineage to pull them all out of their karma, because they knew eventually someone will evolve and enter their timeline for awakening to happen. It can be a long wait, but it does happen, and they rejoice and cheer you on...Once one person wakes up, it has a ripple effect to all people around you and from the past, like moths being drawn to the light. You can't help but pull them along, like a magnet. And that's why I said to you Dad, ‘It's your time.’”

Not only does your awakening reconnect you to your higher self and your ancestors and pull all forward in consciousness, Greg says, “You reconnect to all the higher realms and other worlds which before were unreachable. You reconnect to all humanity that has evolved the same as you through their awakening. You reconnect to the beings from the other realms and dimensions that are now visible and waiting and wanting to interact.
You reconnect to all the miracles and magic of a Universe where nothing is impossible, to the abundance of a Universe where there are no limitations, and to the creative curiosity to explore a Universe with endless possibilities. You reconnect to your eternal youth and unquestioned health. You reconnect to the love of the Divine and the love that is expressed by all who connect and relate to the One Divine expression. You soon realize that coming from a very alone place, you are now connected to all through the love of creation and that you are a part of that creation. You will never feel alone again. Think about what that world would feel like.”
 
Greg reminds us that waking up is not a passive exercise: “Raise your vibration. Connect to Source. Alter your perception to go beyond 3D. There's so much more, and you are so much more than your story. Connect to your higher self and the angels through meditation. Come to understand that you are a powerful being, and that you are here to wake up. Be active, not passive in your awakening. You came here specifically to wake up.
 
Once you're on the other side,” Greg continued, “you can see that you didn't have the awareness (of who you truly are) while you were reincarnated. You missed doing that and couldn't be the catalyst for everyone, but once you're on the other side you can see what you didn't do. So once a person wakes up in real time in 3D then there is an awakening for all because it's happening in real time. That's why I've said to you Dad, that when you do it in real time you passed the test: to wake up in a separated place and recognize who you truly are.”
 
Our beloved children on the other side know who they are and their deep connection to Source. Greg says, “Once you pass and move into the domain where I am, you are loved, you are close to Source, you are connected. The only thing you may look back at your in experiences when you were in 3D is that you didn't learn as much as you could have learned while you were there if you didn't wake up. The more engaged you are with that process of awakening, the further you can take the learning while you're in 3D. It's all about soul growth. How do you glean the most out of your reincarnation?”
 
As a final note, as I was writing this column almost two years after Bill connected with his jaguar spirit animal in his meditation, and because he very specifically said that the fur he saw under the jaguar's jaw was white, I was nudged to finally look it up online as evidence that this magnificent creature appeared to Bill to set in motion a message from the ethereal realm. I was amazed - but not surprised - to find this: “The fur under a jaguar's jaw is typically whitish in color.”
 
If you would like to hear more about our amazing experiences, Bill and I have twice spoken to HPH and the videos are available on the HPH YouTube channel: click here HPH welcomed Susan & Bill Van Oije, 'From Wow to How!' for the video detailing the beautiful messages Greg gives us about how to live our best life in this very challenging place and grow our souls, and click here On February 3rd, Bill Van Oije spoke to Helping Parents Heal for the video in which Bill details some of the astounding signs we've received from our son.
