THE AFTERLIFE EXPLAINED
What happens when we die? We say that we leave the physical body at the moment of death. Our soul, the mind in all its aspects, will transition to a different sphere. It’s so subtle that we do not perceive it because we are physical and gross. We can understand it intellectually and have some of those experiences through meditation, but it’s an experience beyond because the physical body weighs us down.
We need it to progress because we cannot progress without a physical body or brain. So we come back; that’s the process of reincarnation always. We keep coming back because, in a physical body, we evolve. When we’re in that sphere, there is no progression for us; there is only evaluation. This means we’re taking stock of that journey so far, where we come from, our current level of evolution and spirituality, and what we need to do to reach the end of a goal. You know, what to get in that enlightened state, to increase our spirituality, to expand our consciousness, what is the path ahead?
CHOOSING OUR PARENTS – AN ATTRACTION FOR OUR NEW PATH AHEAD
The remarkable thing about this makeup is that while we’re evaluating during that period, we are preparing for our next birth and finding a path to give us all those things. To continue evolving, we must find a combination of parents at the right time and place to match our intricate needs. And that’s why we say you choose your parents because they will give you that pathway, not only the genetics but also the lifestyle, the path, and the opportunity, the country where you’re in; all this is somewhat predetermined, but it’s done so by attraction because the soul is there in that sphere saying where do I go next?
THE GOAL IS ENLIGHTENMENT
How do I get to the goal? What is the goal, first of all? The goal is enlightenment. The goal is to go back to the source. So, this whole cycle of evolution is to get to the end of it. That’s where we’re all going. It’s like the big bang; the sparks from the big bang are going out. That is the evolutionary force moving forward and moving us forward. For example, we’re sitting here but moving at thousands of miles an hour in space, right?
We don’t feel that directly, maybe after a few drinks, but we don’t think that you know, that we’re going up thousands of miles an hour just right now through this universe. How amazing is that as such? So we have to then, we have to find the most economical way from that progression sphere to find our way back into physical form because we said we could only evolve in bodily form to find our way, to evolve, to go to that next state. Now, it could be in the next lifetime that we will take massive leaps in our evolution as far as our consciousness is concerned, and as we all say, with our techniques, you can go right to the goal.
HOW MANY LIVES DO YOU NEED?
You could evolve, become enlightened, be one with the universe, be one with God, and have a job done. However, many people might need other lifetimes and experiences to reach that point. Now, going back to our relatives in that progressive sphere, because they’ve lost their physical bodies, they no longer can communicate as we communicate. But on a very subtle level, the commanding fact is if there was love because when you love someone, there’s a link.
There’s a link that will follow us through all of our lifetimes. You always keep that link. So when your partner passes away, there is this very subtle link between you, so when you think of that person, they receive through that link. They receive whatever you’re saying to them. Now, how do they respond? Right? They have no physical body. They have no brain; they’re just like an energy force.
LOVE MANIFESTS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
But the beautiful thing is that this link is two-way; you will often see that manifestation differently around you. Like a flower may drop in front of you. You know, you’re thinking of this person, or something happens that is typical of that person or related to that person, and this light is coming back to you subtly. That they receive your love, that they return it, because that link is there between you, and it’s like the channel through which this comes back.
So it could be a dream of them or something, a bird, something they liked. Something will happen, and it’s almost like they’re manifesting their love in a tangible way that we can understand because that person isn’t dead. They’re in that sphere. They’re busy in that period, getting ready for that next incarnation, and their job is to make multiple adjustments until the right path is found. It could be that there isn’t a right path for that soul to reincarnate, so that’s why it waits. Again, that’s hard for us to see because it’s beyond the time we understand.
FINDING THE RIGHT REINCARNATION VEHICLE
And therefore, in our years, it could be many years, 1,000 years, etc., to find the right vehicle to reincarnate. If we’re a good person, if we look at that karmically, we’re in credit, so we will perhaps have an easier life next time. If we’re heavily in karmic debt, then there are other experiences we must go through to wake up that consciousness, alleviate that negative karma, etcetera. That says a lot. It means that we are here for a specific purpose.
WE ARE HERE TO EVOLVE
We’re here to evolve ourselves. That’s part of life’s journey, which is fantastic. That’s why we say you’ve got to enjoy your life. You’ve got to be on top of it. You’ve got to enjoy it daily because this journey is once. You will never take this journey the same again, and it is a gift; there are lots of beautiful things to enjoy because, to some degree, you chose this. Yes! It’s more an attraction than a choice, but as such, our past or lifetime actions will dictate the journey forward.
So, as I said, we’ll only pass through here once. Let’s have some fun.
