Key Finding 10 -  Those who have crossed over with many other spirits all at one time are greeted in their collective place of confusion and lack of understanding, not only by loved ones, but by many guides and angels to help them make this transition. They remain together for a small amount of time before beginning their individual spirit journeys.

Afterlife 101 Section, Chapter 1

Spirit Guide: we would say that those who die suddenly in a mass amount of people, some are prepared for what is going to happen and others again have had an energy cross their path that interfered with what they thought was going to be a normal cycle of life for them.

All initially feel a sense of confusion--even those who most quickly realize that this was their life path. But the sense of confusion comes from so much energy all of a sudden being released immediately. And the lack of understanding of what's happening to each one of these individuals creates sort of a whirlwind of activities by both sides, the earth side as well as the spiritual side. We feel that those who have crossed over with many other spirits all at one time are greeted in their place of confusion and lack of understanding, not only by loved ones, but are greeted by many guides and angels to help them make this transition, because many times there are so many mixed levels of consciousness and ethnic understanding.

In reality, oftentimes loved ones do not gather with the individual spirit initially but those who have just crossed over are all held together by a bond of suddenness of soul transfer and therefore have many teachers, guides and angels to help them all with this sudden mass encounter of being spirit self rather than human self. Because there is no time in heaven, we cannot tell you how long this happens. It could be an instantaneous thing and then they are put together with family members immediately so that they can know that they are not alone for that is often the initial fear of such spirits. They feel they are alone, regardless of what their religious upbringing has been, but almost instantly realize that they are all part of this large group of individuals who have suddenly left their human bodies and are all making this transition together.

There are many angels, spirit guides and counselors with them. So this initial feeling of sudden darkness and aloneness is vanished almost before it has begun. There is a great deal of love and connectiveness within this group of new spirit souls. Though they have become aware of their own loved ones they do not unite with them immediately. It is important that as a group they understand why and what has happened to them and the role their crossing over plays with everyone who remains on earth. There is an understanding and acceptance of the new spirit souls of the need for them to remain together as a group for what we on earth would consider a small amount of time to be guided through this sudden change of events which many were not pre-programmed to experience.

Once this has taken place each individual spirit soon finds itself connecting with their own loved ones and then begins their own individual spirit journey. At a future time we would like to discuss how these changed events affect the spirit souls' new journey from how it would have been had they been allowed to continue the original human life journey they had expected before crossing over so suddenly. So you see, not only does the human life's journey change by this interference of energy, so does the spirit soul journey change.

The Spirits Book-Modern English Edition by Kardec

Kardec discussion: In cases of collective death, in which many persons have died in the same catastrophe, it has been observed that they do not always see one another immediately afterwards. In the confusion that follows, each spirit goes its own way or concerns itself only with those in whom it takes an interest.

Question: After multiple sudden death from an accident, do the participants who have crossed over ever go their separate ways in the spirit world without initially gathering as a group?

Spirit Guide Commentary (9/3/08) We still believe that when a large group crosses over unexpectedly together, they remain together for a short period of time even though their loved ones, and spirit guides, are also there, there are angels and other spiritual entities there to help them with this shock of crossing over so suddenly and unexpectedly. Because these people all came together in a group prior to the accident, again we say for a short period of time, before they separate and go off with their own spirit guides and their own spirit families they are all there working together trying to bring calm and peace and understanding of what happened. Though this is not a long length of time they are together we still believe and from our knowledge say they stay together as a group for a short period of time.

Followup Question: Are there ever cases where smaller groups of souls of the larger soul group that collectively died will stay together for a short period while some individuals of the larger group will go off on their own?

Spirit Guide Commentary (9/3/08) There can always be those who just feel the need to go off and be with their own but generally speaking they are all trying to bring a sense of peace and a sense of calm from the frenzied energy that had just taken place as they all crossed over. Each individual has in their own right to choose as they did right when they were living their life on earth to choose which step they want to take. Generally, they stay together but again there can be some individuals who want to go off and who are trying to explore what just happened on their own.

It seems probable that groups of individuals who cross over collectively as the result of an accident do tend to stay together for a short period on the other side but there may be a few who elect to proceed independently.  The differences defined here are not substantial.
