Recently a friend of mine lost his father. Although he
was quite old, the death was nevertheless sudden due
to an infection obtained during a routine operation at
a hospital. Since his death my friend, I shall call
him Bob, has told me many times how he could feel the
presence of his father. Other things, such as the
disappearence of car keys, strange dreams, and other
paranormal activity have occured and Bob swears that
his father has something to do with.

On reading Annie Besant's book, "The Ancient Wisdom",
I came across the chapter on Kamaloka. In this chapter
Besant states that when a person dies by accident
(typically the result of karma) then, often, the "man
is full of all the plans and interests that made up
his life, and is conscious of the presence of the
people and things connected with them; he is almost
irresistibly impelled by his longings to try and
influence the affairs to which his passions and
feelings still cling...".

During his life, Bob's father was quite concerned
about Bob's well being though he never outwardly
showed this concern. For example, he would not let Bob
drive his car nor attempt to get his lisence because
he was afraid that Bob would be a reckless driver
(which, incidently, he is). But he never said this in
as many words, prefering instead to be stubbon about
the matter and say that when Bob saved money to
purchase his own car then he could do what he liked.

First Question: Is Bob's father actively involving
himself in Bob's life as he has died prematurely and
still believes he is in the physical world?

Besant continues to state that if a person wishes to
leave this kamaloka then he must resolutely turn away
from earth and fix his mind on higher things. If he
cannot do this on his own then he can accept the help
of workers on the astral plane (in a footnote Besant
notes that these workers are disciples of some of the
great Teachers). Knowing Bob's father, he is a
completely stubbon man and if he is anything like he
was in his physical body then he will never accept the
help of these workers.

Second Question: Is there anyway we, existing on the
physical plane, can communicate with those who are in
kamaloka and possibly assist in their transition to
greater things?

Anyone's comments on this is much appreciated.
