THE ENDLESS WAVE | PART TWO
These questions come to the surface if we are to think of the life experience as linear. We are all here as souls in a physical body to grow, learn and unleash our own personal and wider-world expressions into the world. Thinking about the journey that we go through as a Soul and not just a Human is one of the most profound ways to understand that we are so much more than the current experiences of our bones, blood and flesh.
When we understand and realize that we are so much more than our human- ness, we can then start to understand that as souls, we each have a journey. A jour- ney from life to life, place to place, with a focus, intention, passion and purpose. With all due respect to religion, the concept of an afterlife can be used in some religions to scare or disempower people. However, in my experience of life, death and the other side, one thing to be assured of is that we all have an afterlife.
It’s not a matter of elitism, where only certain individuals on certain paths make it. Some big questions around this are, “is it place? Where is Heaven? What is Heaven?”
In my experience, the afterlife is what we make of it. What we want our after- life to be, we will live it. Connecting with those who have crossed over, I’ve been shown these beings in their happy place. They have the ability to live out their most memorable experiences in their lives. They are free from any pain or illness that they experienced before they departed. The deceased are able to freely travel between places and be with their family and friends who have also passed over. No one is alone unless they choose to be on the Other Side. It’s like they’ve passed through an inter-dimensional veil. They are still here and with us but on a different frequency or bandwidth.
Life takes on a new form in the afterlife. Is the afterlife even the afterlife? What if this is life? What if our experiences here in the human form are experiences of pre-life?
Having understanding and knowledge of this frees us from anxieties about dying itself. Born and reborn again, we are able to live in more confident and enjoyable ways.
