Spirituality101: The Afterlife by bigfrancis21: 5:58am On Mar 23, 2017
Hello everyone,

Over the next few days/weeks I will be making a couple of posts or threads here on several topics regarding spirituality, such as the afterlife, purpose of life on earth (why we are here), reincarnation (yes it does exist), pre-birth experience/existence (the existence of the soul in the afterlife before birth on earth), the life review (detailed review of one's life conducted after each concluded life on earth), karma (and the importance of good karma), male-female energy balancing (part of the reason for heterosexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality), death (what it really is and why death should not be feared at all but rather be looked forward to) etc. A little about myself, I am not religious as I do not identify with any religion or religious dogma, however I consider myself as spiritual (all universal and embracing).

Regardless of the religion you may adhere to, my aim is to raise awareness or consciousness about life on earth, spirituality and the importance of paying attention to spirituality while alive.

We are not humans who happen to have a soul, but instead we are souls undergoing an earthly journey.

THE AFTERLIFE

Quite often we all have pondered about the quintessential question, ‘Why are we born?’ or ‘What is meant by afterlife?’ or ‘What is the purpose of life?’ We may have our own standpoint about this, but it may not necessarily be from a spiritual perspective. The two generic reasons why we are born is to complete our give and take account with different people and to make spiritual progress to gain God-realisation. When we merge with God, we are liberated from the cycle of birth and death. But what happens after death if we remain in this cycle? Is there an afterlife? When we look at numerous cases of reincarnations, there was a variable time lag between the death of an individual and his next reincarnation on Earth. The innumerable researched cases of past life experiences clearly indicate to afterlife. So, where do we go in the afterlife till our next reincarnation? Is there a single plane of existence or there are different planes of existence which maybe positive or negative in nature? What are the contributing factors that decide where we go after death? Does the plane we go to in the afterlife depend on our spiritual level; merits and demerits?

Arrival in the Spirit Home


After someone dies and their spirit has crossed over into the afterlife or known as heaven in Christianity, it has been met by loved ones, has gone through a life review, and then moves to its spirit home. And with individuals of that consciousness, for that is where your spirit home is--that is where you are as a form of spirit energy, living with other spirit energies of the same consciousness, of the same like mind and thought that you carry as a spirit. Not as you carried as a human but as you carry as a spirit. You are a form of energy that interacts with other energies within your spirit home, not all the time and often you are in your spirit home with your own spirit guides. But you still have interaction with other spirits there. It is not an interaction that you think of like on earth, playing cards or eating together or shopping together or enjoying something together; it is an energy that is communicated without words but with the knowing, an energy that in heaven--the most important thing to it--seeks to find a higher level of its connection with God the Oneness.

Though you have the opportunity to revisit earth with the pleasures that you would have like to have seen, in an energy form such as your late wife wanting to enjoy Disneyland at some point, or as an individual who cares to be with their most current life family during holidays that you are about to approach, you can move in the energy that you are into experiencing those life experiences on earth with those that you continue to love. Generally, though, after you have been transformed from human to spirit you begin to more and more expand your energies, more into your spirit life than into what your human life was. You have the ability to oftentimes help protect your loved ones on earth, but generally when their life is being threatened, their guardian angel is there to help with any type of protection required. But you can always help assist in warning or providing a safer means as an outcome for those who that you have loved. Many times this will happen and you often on earth will wonder about how did that not happen and never realize that a loved one from the other side was helping to protect you. As you were in your spirit family, as we mentioned, you do have connections with them, you have an interaction with them, you help support each and every person within your spirit family.

In your spirit family, energies of only supporting and loving and caring and teaching will be energies that you will experience, for you have left your earth energies and emotions behind and so you do not have to experience fear and hate. And therefore you support each other without judgment and with only trust and love. Within your spirit family you all are essentially at a consciousness level that is equivalent to all others within your spirit family, and so you are all working at the same level of energy.

A sense of being home

We are now going to talk about the general interaction that happens with an individual that has now moved into their complete spirit life with their spirit family even though it is still just the beginning of their spiritual transformation. One has a tremendous sense of being home, a sense of fulfillment and completeness that one did not allow themselves to experience upon earth but could have if they were willing to see beyond the three-dimensional energies of earth life.

Initial solitude and an opportunity for meeting important spirits

Though you are in this wonderful large spirit family that you have returned to and you are initially greeted by all of your--and reconnected with all of your--spirit family, you are then given a time to more-or-less have solitude and a time to become more comfortable in your own spirit being again. You are not given a tremendous amount of activities or interaction with your spirit family but only on a small time period for a while so that you can acclimate back into spirit. Oftentimes in this phase you are still wanting to experience some earth connections and return to some earth adventures and this is where you are given the free time to do such things before your complete human connection is broken. This is a time when had you had individuals upon earth that you looked up to and thought a great deal of who you had absolutely no way of knowing or physically connecting to that you are given the opportunity to ask permission to meet these individuals, regardless of how long ago they had made their crossing over. The majority of the time those spirits that you asked to make a connection with will appear in the form that you see them as on earth, for this is what you are wanting to do, to connect with the most recent life that you know of them having had on earth.

It is not something such as earth fans react to entertainers, athletes, but is on a true heart level that you wish to thank this person for whatever it was that they connected with on earth, that made that heart connection with you. The majority of the time the new spirit who has just crossed over will ask, as your late wife did, to have the opportunity to meet with an individual, as she did with Walt Disney. For she felt this true heart connection and thankfulness and gratitude for what he had contributed to earth in her life, the pleasures. There is rarely a time when such a truly heartfelt connection is denied. One does not ask to connect with a former earth being because of their curiosity or fan club mentality. One truly has to have an extremely strong heart connection to be able to even ask permission from the spirit they wish to seek and know and give them their heartfelt thanks and gratitude. This does not always have to be an individual who was famous. It could just also be an individual who had crossed your path and had such a big impact on your life whether through books, words that were said on the subway, whatever....but you are given the opportunity because there was this very, very deep heart connection.

Connection and dis-connection from earth experiences

After a period of time one begins to totally disconnect from the physical connection that they still have with earth, and by that we mean the desire to go and explore, recreate events that they experienced on earth. One still has those feelings initially when they become spirit but there becomes a time when they totally disconnect from earth in that manner. Though as you on earth have many things that you enjoy, such as Disneyland, a walk in the woods, the beauty--there will be times in your spirit life when you can use your mental capacities to create a scene that you would like to be experiencing from earth, whether it would be a garden, or the excitement of a cruise, or whatever one did on earth, one still has an opportunity, as you might say on earth now, to use virtual reality and reconnect with that experience. But you soon find that you are a part of all those experiences and you no longer have to individualize those for yourself. But you still can, if you choose to.

It is important to know that as you move into your spirit life your connection with your loved ones is always there. You continuously have a telepathic communication and can at any time more-or-less "beam me in, Scotty" to those family members and their lives that are happening. You can see what is going on with all of your loved ones simultaneously regardless of their location. And whatever they are experiencing in their life at that time you can connect with them on a telepathic level all at one time or can do so individually. We know that many of the loved ones in spirit are often trying to guide and direct the loved ones left on earth during difficult times. You on earth have not opened yourselves up to the fact that you can actually experience the guidance coming from your spirit loved one any more than you are willing, generally speaking, to open up to the spirit guidance of ourselves to you on a continuous basis.

Reduced connection with new earth family members

After one has crossed over, the connection to any new family members that happen on earth is nowhere near as strong as it was to those that they knew that were on earth. So any new babies that are born, though you have a knowledge that they have been born, your connection to them is not nearly as strong as the bond that you have made with those that were there on earth when you were there.

Schooling about life lessons

As you have gone through your life review when you first crossed over, you now become part of a schooling about those lessons that you went to earth to learn about this last time and have a much more in-depth understanding about why you went and what you did and why you didn't do it. And the spirit guide is there to help you understand the choices you made or the reasons that you did not learn that lesson or the reasons that you didn't even become aware of the fact that you were there on earth to learn lessons. And the spirit guide is there to help in the observation of what the human life was that you had and how you can observe the choices made and how you are able to see the levels of energy that you were able to move into or not move into.

This is a wonderful time for spirit for, though many times spirit will see things they felt were very stupid that they did on earth, as you would say--they were very stupid, were very callous or very careless or any type of negative emotion or energy one could conjure up. As a spirit that is not the case. You see experiences that you had to learn a life lesson and either learned it or did not learn it but you will never connect with a negative feeling or emotion about what you did. You will never say you were stupid; you will never say you were dumb. You will never experience that negativeness of what you did as a human. You will only see it as what you were able to learn or not learn without passing any judgment on it one way or the other. You have as a spirit a great deal of love and compassion and a wonderful sense of humor and laughter and you will find yourself laughing at your human experiences time after time. Often as a parent looks at the antics of a small child--that is how you will look at yourself in the lessons that you were experiencing. There will be no judgment.

Interesting. You seem quite confident of spirituality. How so? Have you had any concrete personal evidence to back it up?
