Kobe and Gigi

The world views Kobe Bean Bryant’s demise as a monumental loss, and indeed it is (along with the loss of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Maria Bryant - known as “Gigi” - and 7 other souls on board the doomed helicopter). 

In the physical, secular sense, January 26, 2020, will be a tragedy for all the families involved and a major catastrophic event for sports fans across the globe.

From a spiritual perspective, there are no mistakes, and there are no accidents. Kobe and Gigi were extremely close in life and had already decided (pre-incarnation) to transition together from this dimension to the next. 

Some readers may find this hard to fathom and some may even be offended because it goes against their religious indoctrination. However, take some time to study energy and the phenomenon known as NDE (near-death experience) and the reader will comprehend exactly what the article writer is referring to... and that is:

The soul is immortal. There is no death for the individual; there is no horror in death. Life continues on the ‘Other Side’ without hindrance or handicap. The one thing that troubles souls who have transitioned is the fact that their loved ones are in such agony. Their spirit – energetic self, the real entity - is alive and well and desperately trying to let those left behind know that, “I’m OK.” 

From the book, “Thy Son Liveth”

“[At our physical demise] the soul leaves the body as a boy jumps out of a school door. That is, suddenly, and with joy!”

Clairsentience is the ability to feel and experience energy in an intuitive way. This word can be traced back to the 17th century where Claire, meaning clear in French, was combined with the word Sentient (able to sense or feel things). Therefore, Clairsentient literally means the ability to clearly sense, perceive or feel things. 

On a deeper level, Clairsentience is the ability to perceive the unperceivable. It means having the ability to feel things as well as one can see them, especially things - and beings or entities - that are hidden from plain sight. 

The article writer delineated the etymology of the word Clairsentience because my brother transitioned in 1992 at the age of 33. About 10 years after his demise, he came through a medium from North Carolina (not selected by me, he selected the individual) to let me know that he was doing well. And my brother Kent was not religious. At the time of his demise, he did not identify with organized religion. 

Kobe and Gianna’s spirits are desperately trying to let their family know that they are OK. They want their loved ones to know that this was the time they chose to leave this earthly dimension and continue to explore this vast universe in other roles; in other capacities.

Former NBA star and Hall-of-Famer, Tracy McGrady has been friends with Kobe since both were in their teens. In an interview, two days after Bryant’s timely demise (no such thing as an untimely demise) he stated in an interview with Rachael Nichols - ESPN host of “The Jump” – that, as a teenager, Kobe would often tell him, “I want to die young… I want to be immortalized… I want to be better than Jordan and die young.” 

Obviously, those were the words spoken by a teenager. At the time of his demise, being a husband and a father of 4 beautiful daughters, I’m pretty sure those were no longer his secular thoughts. However, our higher selves, have long since predetermined the time we will leave this dimension and quite possibly, on a sub-conscious level, the young Kobe was aware of his relatively brief sojourn to this dimension we refer to as Planet Earth.

Bryant’s demise is the biggest sports tragedy of my 59 years on this earth. But there is symbolism and synchronicity in the physical deaths of Kobe and Nipsey. Both tragedies speak directly to the Black community because they left luminous and concise blueprints for us to follow. 

Their message is about being self-sufficient; it’s about black ownership, having an entrepreneurial resolve, love of family, respecting self and others, and financial control of your life… all while striving to be the very best that you can be.

We must be better because of the legacy left by Kobe Bean Bryant. If we ascend to loftier heights of morality, ownership, and financial responsibility, then the passing of Kobe, Gigi, the 7 others, along with Ermias Asghedom (aka Nipsey Hussle), will not be in vain.

RIP Kobe and Gigi. We love you.
