Let’s Put an End to End-of-Life Thinking

There is no such thing as a simple end-of-life ending to what we all know as “life.”  We like to think of “heaven,” perhaps,  a place where we will be forever “happy.”   But we never stop to think what we really mean by “heaven.” What are the specifics?  What are we doing all day?  Or all eternity?  Do we just sit around adoring some God?  Are we enjoying “endless vacation in an island paradise?”  

What do you think you will be doing in “heaven?”  Will you be exploring exciting new ideas?  Going on exciting voyages?  Just what are the specifics as you see them?

The sources I relied on for my book, You’re Bigger than Death … and life too, pretty much agree that after your consciousness leaves your physical body, it expands and becomes aware of greater realities.  You then have the freedom to understand your own reality — the one you just stopped focusing on so exclusively and the larger one you are aware of right after death — much more fully.  You also have the opportunity to develop your personal abilities much further, either in classes with other like-minded spirits, or in one-on-one sessions with guides who are there to help you.

As a spirit freed from the limitations of the physical form, you are also free to to feel more, to feel more deeply the nature of your own existence as a part of “All That Is” (or God if you prefer), to feel the emotions and exhilaration of your unbounded being, which is far more expansive than you ever imagined it to be while you were “living” in the Human Time-Space Illusion.  

You become aware of the complexity of your own Self, and its many connections and relationships with other aspects of existence.  You become more aware of its power, and you use that power to experience being in ways far more intense and joyful than you could have imagined while you were “here.”

Yes, there’s a lot to learn and feel and do and experience as you the spirit release your consciousness from the limits imposed by its intimate connectIon with the physical body.  So it’s time you started to give some thought to what specifically you want to be doing after this life, between this life and the next, and what you want to be experiencing and creating in the “next” life (which already exists with all it probabilities, but which we think of as coming “after” this life).

It’s also high time that mankind in general get past the simple, limited notions of its existing religions, and start to think and feel more intelligently about the existence beyond time and space of the larger, more powerful spirits that we are, and how we will use our abilities to create, heal and teach, to help All That Is to know itself in infinitely rewarding ways.

So let’s end current “end-of-life” thinking and start “beginning of bigger awareness” thinking, so we can better shape what we’ll experience when we leave these physical bodies.  Trying to think more specifically is a good way to start.  Do you want to be guiding other souls who are still mired totally in the physical?  Would you rather focus on creating beautiful art?  Beautiful landscapes?  Beautiful music?  Attend classes to improve your knowledge of science, so you can help other humans more when you “return?”  

Or would you prefer to continually project loving feelings, encouragement and positive reinforcement to any and all who need it?  Might you like to join in creating new worlds entirely — based solely on intensity of feelings, sparks of energy, or types of sounds?  Time to get started now on thinking about all this.  After “death” is a great opportunity time to do whatever you want!

You are an accomplished actor.

Shakespeare’s line about “all the world’s a stage” and we are the actors, is more to the point than most of us suspect.  Whoever and whatever you are now, this is just one of many roles that “you” are playing.  “You” are in fact a Big Self, a spirit that is energizing many personalities, focused in different time frames in different types and sexes of physical bodies, in varying races, doing different things to make a living, in varying social and socioeconomic circumstances, sometimes rich, sometimes poor, sometimes quite smart and sometimes not so.

“You” are an eternal spirit who is choosing to experience earth life in many simultaneous incarnations.  You did so for your own reasons.  Most likely one of them was to experience the rich emotions you can experience here in the Human Time-Space Illusion, as Bob Monroe termed it.  Because each personality is focused in a different “camouflage reality” such as ours, the entity Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts, terms us “focus personalities,” and I think that’s an apt description of what we are.

The really positive part about having so many focus personalities as part of yourself is that you can tune into them at any time to take advantage of the skills, strengths and experience they have gained.  So if you want to start playing the piano, for example, and there is another focus personality that’s part of you that already has developed that talent, it will be easier for you to play than it might be for someone who has no piano players among his or her counterparts (or probable selves…a blog for another day).

To learn more about any of this, you can read my book, You’re Bigger Than Death … and life too.  Or you can read two of Jane Roberts’ books dictated by Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality and Seth Speaks.  You might also find fascinating any of Bob Monroe’s three books, Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey.
