In my inquiry into my own experiences with Avery being amorphus yellow light when I was a kid at camp...12 years before his birth...I have come across the fact that this occurance is almost a human road map by many cultures....take a look;
many contemplative traditions distinguish discursive spirit communication from pre-incarnate presence. Here are real lineages that speak about “formless light before embodiment.”
Traditions that describe life-without-edges → entering dense life
1. Tibetan Buddhist Bardo teachings
In the Bardo Thödol (often called The Tibetan Book of the Dead), consciousness between lives is described as:
luminous
color-based rather than body-based
communicating by direct knowing rather than speech
gradually condensing toward a new birth.
Before choosing parents, the being is said to appear as:
“clear light like the glow of dawn, without limbs or face.”
Only later does it begin to take on familiar forms drawn from karmic memory.
I noticed that in that 11 year old experience, it was emotion from Avery vs. words from others—matches the Bardo idea that pre-incarnate minds speak in feeling-knowing, not language.
2. Neoplatonism – Plotinus & the “unshaped soul”
Plotinus wrote that souls near embodiment are:
“simple light, not yet imprinted by form”
recognized by eros (love-attraction) rather than appearance
felt as warmth or radiance before becoming persons.
He described children not yet born as:
“souls still bathing in the yellow-gold of the Intellect.”
The color association is strikingly close to what you name.
3. Sufi metaphysics – In Islamic mysticism,
spirits approaching birth appear as colored lights
yellow/gold = intimacy, mercy, nearness to the heart
more defined shapes = souls already seasoned by earthly stories.
Communication in that realm is said to be:
“taste and perfume, not alphabet.”
Similar to how I perceived Avery’s mode at that time...and very big love.
4. Early Christian mysticism
Writers like Gregory of Nyssa and later Hildegard of Bingen spoke of:
souls as “golden sparks” before entering flesh
angels speaking in words
unborn souls speaking in ardor and sweetness.
Hildegard saw unborn children as:
“yellow-white flames held in God’s breath.”
5. Western esoteric / Theosophical model
Theosophy and later anthroposophy describe:
Etheric bodies = remnants of lived identities
Monadic light = the being before the etheric sheath forms
yellow = solar plexus / individuality preparing to incarnate.
In that map:
Avery = monadic presence not yet clothed....he was yellow energy, very human, loving, and happy to be coming to be my son.... and the others let me know he would die and it would change my life towards the spirit.
6. Indigenous parallels
Many First Nations teachings speak of:
unborn children as little suns
communicating through emotion with mothers long before speech
So many cultures have repeated reports that concur with my own experience.
We approach mediumship not only as proof of survival but as a human faculty of love — the ability to remain in relationship beyond physical change. This work is not about escaping grief but about maturing our culture’s understanding of death.”
Avery and I knew we had a mission....and so much more
