"Why is it we are not told about this as part of our human experience?
What a difference it would make for everyone!"
​
​
Well, good morning, your highness. That is how I feel around you and the energy you bring to the world, and to me when I am sitting near you. I would have loved to have known you. I would have taken you to some of the most remote places in the world where you could sit and commune with the natural world and solve all the world’s problems.
​
But that is not our destiny in this lifetime. I am, however, very pleased to officially meet you.
By now you have been waiting for me to come close to you to write for over a week. I waited, for one, because of your busy schedule and number two because I wasn’t quite ready to sit in an intimate setting and pour out my deepest secrets to you. I have come to understand that you don’t necessarily wish to write down my deepest secrets but instead wish to allow me the freedom to write what I think is important for me. What a cherished position to be in. No paparazzi dictating how I stand or respond, no flashbulbs in my face wondering what I am wearing this time. You know what I really wanted to say when they would ask me questions like that? "I am wearing clothes, thank God. I am not naked. Haha!"
​
People credit me with having such great fashion sense. I think it is because they didn’t know how else to describe me, pigeonhole me. I was not like other starlets or actresses who wanted to make a statement. My statement was more: "Don’t tell me what to do". Miss independent. And that is why no man ever asked me to marry him. I was very independent in my thinking. There were times when I needed to back up and become a bit more flexible. But, for the most part, I had a sneaky way of being who I was, this Diane who walked her own way and bedded some very famous men.
​
It is like this, when time finally showed me its hand and I was about ready to “meet my maker” I had a realization that I had lived more than an incredible life. Even though not everything was hunky dory there were true moments when the decisions I made and the way I lived were all up to me and I didn’t have anyone to blame if I didn’t like the outcomes of things. There is such freedom in that. I am hoping my children learned by example and will live their lives in such a manner. I do miss them, and yes, I have been with them. I want to follow the old Hollywood ghost stories and haunt a few places so people can talk about how Diane never left. I think it will be so much fun.
​
As far as an afterlife goes, I had mixed feelings about what to believe, how far to go in my belief and what I thought would happen to me when I passed. For a time I kinda believed in some of the hippy descriptions of peace and love, having come from that generation. However, as I aged, I found myself leaning into a deeper sense of self and the universe. I was not certain what that meant but I knew there was more, and I had some visions from time to time and some “knowings” that I couldn’t explain. That didn’t make me a spiritualist or have any kind of identity with one particular group. I meditated, went into the yoga stuff for awhile and since then developed my own system of thought to help me be in control. And by that, I mean how I would handle my anxiety about things. It helped when the children came because I had to reach beyond myself in order to help guide them. I wanted them to be open-minded and yet I wanted them to have some type of moral structure.
​
You know, it is interesting, Jeanne. You and I are not that far apart in age, and we basically grew up in close proximity. You are a California girl, just like me. I appreciate you enjoying my singing voice. I always wished I could have done more professionally but the acting seemed to be what was flowing through my life so I never thought it would be a good idea to try and adjust that. I really would like to hear you sing. The people over here seem to think you have given up on that part of yourself to do this. That is too bad.
​
Maybe we can sing some duets together. I wonder if the people around you would hear me. LOL
There are so many people with you. And then there are the spirits. They are light bodies that you see portrayed in the movies and cartoons and animation. It is rather thrilling actually. We can travel through cycles of energy, as you call it. I don’t go anywhere by myself, well, not yet. I am too new and unfocused. I am still in the beginning stages of understanding the freedom of spirit. I have been contacted by family and friends, my mom and dad, a couple of aunts and uncles, one grandparent and a host of celebrities whom I have loved over the years. That is one of the things I have been busy with: visiting. I wanted to meet so many of my friends who are “over”. And my guidance team brought many of them to me these last few weeks. I never missed being on earth when all of my friends and family members showed up. It was very emotional and so thrilling to feel them around me again. Why is it we are not told about this as part of our human experience? What a difference it would make for everyone! I am going to study how to be more present in my children’s lives so that they can accept that I am still with them, still watching over them. I love them so. You understand this, don’t you Jeanne? How grateful I am that you do understand what it is like to be a mother. And I am sorry that you have had the experience of losing a child. I have not met her yet, but I have been told about her. I am just so grateful that there is so much more to life than what meets the physical eye.
​
Phew, this has been easier than I would have thought. There are times when something is new to me that I need to study it a while before I jump into it. That is why I waited a while before coming to you to write. I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing and wouldn’t make a fool of myself.
​
However, your energy is very comforting, and you have a way of putting me at ease. I can see how this work might be a burden for you. I can only imagine how it must make you feel to allow yourself to have others enter into your personal space in order to get a message or two through to their loved ones. What a gift. I can see that you have learned how to adapt to it and how to control who you let in and who you send away. I actually have seen you send a few away in the little time that I have been with you. In all fairness, you have a very discerning antenna which keeps the riffraff out of your energy. And you have some beloved friends on this side who are always watching over you. By the way, one of those friends wants you to know that he will be there for trick or treating, at least for a little while. Yes, it is RW. He is AMAZING. He greeted me, was one of the first ones allowed to come to me. That is how I really knew I was no longer alive. He is the kindest man.
​
My death was not that big of a deal, physically. I had this sense for a while that I probably was not going to stay much longer. I wasn’t happy about it because I wasn’t that old, or so I thought, but the body was disagreeing with me. My kids, of course, were worried but there was little any of us could do about it. I did what the doctors told me to do, plus a little extra. We did talk about end of life but then went back to living. It wasn’t till the very end that I really had any sense of leaving that this was it. It took us all by surprise, the timing etc. We all just knew that I was sick and weak and vulnerable. I didn’t want to be in the hospital. There were visits that the public never knew about. And I am certain that I wasn’t very clearheaded towards the last few weeks. I trusted my kids to take care of me. We made this great triangle family. They of course knew they were adopted, and I was very clear with them about how I had chosen them as they had chosen me and that we were meant to be together. I felt it was like a divine providence or something I mean I KNEW them, both of them. Each time I first met their little spirits I knew. I couldn’t have done better if I had been their biological mom. We went through everything together. I don’t know if they will ever see this, but others will. My hope is, my intention is, that whoever reads this feels my spirit, feels Diane and welcomes the possibility that we continue even when our bodies are tired and worn out.
​
Where am I now? In a beautiful place, filled with love and opportunity for growth and insight. I am being held in a force field of absolute Love. I am being nurtured and taught how to remember who I am and where I come from. I am in the business of remembering and from there I am able to move forward. I am looking back at my life, and I am looking forward to my life. I can see clearly now. I recognize that we leave so much behind when we decide to be born into the physical world; and then we “come home” to remember what we forgot and then go on from there. I am so filled with Love right now. I feel as if the movement of peace and love is continuing over here. It is as if those who were part of the 60s and 70s movement are over here cheering on those who are still left on the planet. I am so sorry that I had to leave and couldn’t stay any longer. My body was tired, but I now have a great seat over here. Keep up the great work everyone. There is truly only the slightest difference between you and I …that being I have left my body behind, but my spirit remains.
​
Thank you, Jeanne, for helping me to communicate this message. I guess I am now one of the members of the Cosmic Voices team. And I am proud of it. What a complete rush. Wow.
​
Love,
​
Diane
