Lol. Yes. You visit these so-called heavens every day. Just like the lady's kids who come visiting, you forget. A faint recollection of these journeys is what we humans call Dreams.
In 2015, I had a chat with a lady in the Astral. She had recently died in an automobile accident (in the physical world) at the age of 32, and had left behind two young kids and their father. I was still on my spiritual retreat, in the pristine village of Arakanga, at the outskirts of Abeokuta. My days and nights were devoted to various spiritual exercises, including mental fasts and deep contemplation. 2015 was Year 5 of my agreement with Spirit to undertake this exercise. I had two more years to go.
It was a fruitful period for me in terms of inner and outer experiences. See Your Future in 21 Days, Nigeria, I Prophesy, and the forthcoming The Book of Prophecies: Terranova 2020 -3100 CE, are three of the nine books that this journey into the wilderness gave birth to. One of my research interests was death, dying, and how people handle the process, especially immediately after discarding the body. Sounds morbid? Not really. The ignorance surrounding death and dying is largely responsible for the confusion, phobia, attachment to material things and situations, which have precipitated wars, social strife, greed, unnecessary acquisition of perishable goods that man erroneously calls 'wealth'. Religions, sociologists, philosophers, and psychoanalysts have only compounded the issue by confusing man a lot more with their wild guesses, suppositions, and embellishments. In the last 5000 years humanity has been fed with half baked or badly baked stories of what happens after death, where the Soul goes, and what happens to the individual in the course of time.
A few persons, like my mom, who have had out of body experiences, or they have been able to consciously visit the other realms, have returned with a more expansive awareness about life. This, in turn, has bolstered their confidence in themselves, and the need to give of themselves to make life a lot easier for themselves and others. They become heroic in their mindset, actions, and convictions. They are creative. They don't fight or blame anyone for their conditions; rather they use their Soul Energy to build their own preferred environment. They know they can, and they know how. So, in my research into death, dying, and the aftermath, I chose to ask someone who had recently died and was still undergoing the process of settling down in the Astral, a.k.a First Heaven, Jannah, or Paradise. What was the experience of dying or withdrawing from the body? I was also interested in the mental and emotional separation (sense of loss) that the individual must have gone through. Yes, on this side we know how painful that loss could be on those who were intimate with the departed Soul. But, how about the person who we had supposedly lost, how did they handle it all?
I was in the Astral fully awake as wakefulness can be. I was in the Soul body, but was visible to the inhabitants of this particular neighborhood because I manifested in a body in tune with Astral vibration and energy. I could have been invisible to the environment, but I needed to relate and have a feel of this place. The environment was similar to a well paved street on Earth with houses of different shapes, trees, and beautiful flowery plants, lining the streets. But the comparisons ended there.
The trees, flowers, fruits had colors you can't find on Earth. There were plants that looked like the ones here on Earth but they had some energy, a heightened vibration to them. The air was filled with vigor, a certain buoyancy that cannot be put into human words. The skyline, the horizon, sometimes would change into colors beyond what we see in the physical rainbow. It was like everything had a mind of their own, and they gave out and received currents, energies, that brought peace, love, and heightened appreciation of life. My job here today was not to savor the environment, eat the almost magical fruits, and hang out with people. No, I had done more than enough of that since I was very little. I was here to interview or chat with someone who had recently relocated from the physical. I had to get on with it because I knew my body was asleep in my room, and I would have to return once the rooster crowed and my neighbor kicked his motorcycle to head out at about 5 am. So, get on with it James.
I 'walked' up to her. She was standing on the porch of this bungalow that looked like a regular three bedroom house. Even though he didn't come outside to say hello, with Soul Vision I knew there was a man in the house. I also knew they were living together. With courtesy, I greeted her. "How are you doing?""I am doing fine." Then she smiled. Her smile brought waves of happiness that touched my aura. She was a genuinely loving Soul. In appearance, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, moderate body weight, ebony skin color. Usually people who have died will keep the same appearance as they had on Earth, until their next incarnation when they take on a new body. In the case of Karen (not her real name), she might be coming back as a black man or woman, Caucasian, or Indian. When she returns, let's say for instance, as an Italian male in Milan, the memories of having been a black woman would be buried deep in her subconscious, but the lessons learned would be available for regular upload.
A few persons do remember (like I do) but most people will only have vague recollections which burst to the surface when they daydream or when they sleep, when in prayer, or go through some traumatic experience. Periods of sharpened intuitiveness, dejavu, visions, religious experiences, nightmares, etc, provide the outlets for some of these archived memories from our past lives. On a large scale, most children have vivid recollections until they get into high school and the educational system rewire their minds and they become less and less in tune with their higher selves, and more and more in tune with social dictates. Back to Karen. "Tell me, was it painful, dying in that car accident?"
She paused, looked away, then returned her gaze to meet mine. "Surprisingly it wasn't painful. Compared to all the fears that I had about death, it was quite smooth." "Okay, good one." I noticed she had relapsed into a dreamy, reflective state. "I need to know how you felt after detaching from the body." "At first there was that pain, not as I knew it on Earth, but that sense of loss." "Your family?" "Yes". Especially my children. That took some getting used to. I was first alarmed that I wouldn't see them again. But the Counsellors helped me through the transition." "That sounds good. Tell me more about that."
"They are like guides, or healers, if you will. From the moment I detached from the body they were always there to help. Just like in a hospital on Earth where you have doctors and nurses that help you heal. The healing process doesn't involve tabs as we used to take on Earth. But there are clinics here where the dislocation created by the shift from Earth to here was rearranged. The experts also tutored me to adjust to life here. Now, I am at peace with myself." "Good. But your former children?" Now, she smiled. "They visit me here. Their dad comes once in a while, but not as often as when I first came. Everyone is learning to move on. He has another lady in his life. She's good to my children. I'm learning not to call them children. We are all equal. But, once a mother, always a mother." "Do you know whether they remember when they wake up on Earth?"
"That's one of the effects of living on Earth. When they come here, they are alive. We have fun. I sometimes give them vital information on what they need. They will promise me they would do it immediately they got back to the body. But it's always not the case. The Earth brain forgets. It used to bother me when I first got here. I wanted their dad to find some documents that would help them live a better life there. But every time he would forget. It was disturbing, until I learned to let go. It's not that important. Life on Earth is too slow, but it doesn't matter." I paused. I listened to know if it was time to go back. I had a few moments left. I had to bring this visit to a close. "Thank you for sharing your experience and journey with me. As you know, I am going to write about it, so that man on Earth can broaden his world view on death and life."
"I am happy to help. You are doing something good. I wish I had read such writings as you are doing. It would have helped me prepare for the change." "Do you have a last word for my readers?" She remained quiet. When someone is quiet here, it is not about making sounds with the mouth. It involves the emotions, the thoughts, and the inflow and outflow of energies through the power channels that we call chakras. I noticed the radiance of her skin as it interacts with the air (not air as we have it here; currents, more or less). She looked like 22 by human standard, but she had died on Earth at 32 going 33. This brought back the memories of when I was 18. One evening my dead mom had entered my room while I was in prayers (chanting Buddhist mantras). She had passed through the wall, with a purple colored energy or aura surrounding her, as she appeared to float about two feet from the ground. What was more striking to me was how she had appeared like a 20 year old even though she had died at about 46, 18 months earlier. To startle me further, she was very trim, wearing long braided hair. She had put on some weight before she died, especially in the mid section, Now, she was as trim as Genevieve Nnaji, or Kelly Rowland (before pregnancy). Back to the moment.
"Tell them to worry less. Actually, there is nothing to worry about. No matter what you're going through on Earth, it is just a situation; it will change. The universe loves and cares about you, more than you can ever imagine." "Thank you for those beautiful words. I will find an avenue to tell people your words. I have to go now. Whenever I come around here in the future, I will say hello."
Next thing I heard was the loud rooster that usually woke me up at 5 am. The village Big Ben, I used to call him. He never missed the time. I hope you find some useful nuggets in this experience. Feel free to message me if you have any need to. If you will like to visit the other worlds consciously I can assist with a technique or two, a book or two. You can start with my book, See Your Future in 21 Days. Going to the other worlds in full consciousness may be as simple as Jesus, Saint Paul, or John did, or as Buddha, Krishna, Shamus i Tabriz and other Saints have done. But you don't have to be a Saint to be able to visit. You do it all the time. You just don't remember all the time. NB: I don't recommend the use of drugs to have out of body experiences. Truth is, there are places that are nasty on the other side, just as there are places even more beautiful than where Karen was living. Drugs can open you up to the nasty places. Everything you need to reach the Higher Universes is inside you, has always been there even before birth. I wish you the Blessings of the Ancient One! I Am James iamjames.net

Here is a Sufi Muslim explaining their own realization of the sound. Personally, l think the Sufis are more interested in Spirituality rather than the superficiality of religion.
If you are the type plagued with or worry about witchcraft attacks, kidnappers, etc. If you think for any reason you are a subject of spiritual attacks in the day or at night; or you just want to experience the presence of God or Love, this simple word will clear you .
I am grinning having remembered how when this is offered to someone with some serious spiritual problem story to share, and they would be offered the HU to sing when they get back home and they would think it is too simple and basic to work. They want drama like bathing 12AM with special soap and candles etc
If you are truly serious about God or Truth, l think it's high time to investigate the seemingly simple saying that "God is Love". We know though that the most powerful force in heaven and earth is LOVE.
God resides in the heart literally speaking and not in the sky as most are made to think.
Singing HU (pronounced Hue) in a long-drawn-out manner like "HU-uuuuuuuu'' with attention in your heart or Love for 15-20 minutes. This SOUND is the most powerful you can ever be given! It is the very power of God in ACTION! It can bless, protect, uplift, heal and exalt. This sound had been there before religion.
You are to merely sing it with love for God. No requests, no directing God, nothing. Just Love and reverence for God. You stand to discover God is an everyday reality.
MaxInDHouse: It doesn't matter to you because you're not interested in the first place but if you want to know true Christians will teach you!
PARADISE is not heaven but here on planet earth, it will come at the right time and all those looking to God's face will be satisfied with abundance of blessings!
Lol. Thank God for ECKANKAR Sha.
People like you and statements like this makes me realize the gift of Divine Spirit.
The least one could do is be grateful for Life together with it's dual polarities.
Cheers man, wishing you Truth in ways you can accept if that is what you seek.
The5DME: What does eckankar teach about sound in relation to creation?
It teaches that at the foundation of all things manifested and unmanifested is Sound. Sound is the prime mover all things.
As l stated elsewhere, beyond the known states of Matter as popularized by scientist, you find Light and ultimately Sound. Light though is viewed as the action of Sound. Thanks.
MaxInDHouse: As long as their brains are working separately and they're able to make choices, they can accept salvation or ignore.
All infirmities will be cured in Paradise, that's the price each of us have to pay for inheriting sin through Adam! Romans 3:23, 5:12
Some infirmities are obvious while most are hiding so it's only the infected will know, but with faith, hope and love for the Creator they will as last conquer and gain everlasting life. Where all these will be gone for good! Revelations 21:3-5
This is just the heritage of faithful people it's not a possession of all people! 2Thessalonians 3:2
This implies dead people will go with their sick bodies to heaven for curing. If the curing in paradise is happening on earth before they are 'transported' to heaven, why wait till the last minute?
MaxInDHouse: Smokers are liable to die young is written on each pack of cigarettes but people still smoke nah!
So it's all about choices and SELF-CONTROL!
You didn't address the idea of one person with two heads from your religious perspective. From there we see if that perspective allows for having a choice in having two heads or the wrong sexual orientation.
haddeylium: People claimed that Kleptomania is genetic
What would you recommend for someone that have this disorder?
I think from where l stand (as a psychology lay man), only a series of psycho therapies may really work.
If you consider again my notion on Past Life actions and addictions being responsible for people's fate (character, intelligence, appearance etc), you will also find that the remedy will not be a one-time effort to correct.
Their is a method of healing derived from latest findings in science called 'Cell Talk'. It is premised on the reality that one's cells listen and obey what the person says and that of others which the hearer accepts or obeys. Remedies may lie in such kind of 'Soft Technologies'. This can help with 'DNA Restructuring'
An advanced and sure-fire remedy is of course not mainstream: 'Past Life Regression'. Not anyone who says they can do such service actually can do so. All the information or code needs to be cleared via the Light and Sound. It's in the stomach.
MaxInDHouse: You're asking questions from the perspective of an atheist and i'm answering from the perspective of a Christian. You're not compelling Christians to appeal for you in the society, are you? then go do the needful no wahala!
Don't expect Christians to be your advocates, go and face the society yourself!
I have given an explanation on why people are born deaf, dumb, blind and with deformities as Lesbianism, Kleptomania and any possible physio-psychological problems which Science and your Christianity (especially) have no answer or understanding of.
You can see how you kept shifting goal post after l presented you with the image of the girl with two heads which alludes to 'imperfection' in creation looking from your (Christian) perspective.
You sound like the people who have sexuality problems needed to take permission from Christianity. This is a lot of ignorance. Pope's, priests, pastors, choristers etc have been involved in it. I am sure this has nothing to do Theism or Atheism.
MaxInDHouse: There are people who are sexually impotent as well so it's not only the transgendered issue my guy.
If someone has such case and wants to live as a God-fearing person all he needs is undergo surgery to choose which sex he will be and continue with what is natural amongst other people, not blaming God and thinking people should just accept what is unnatural!
D
Oh So God now is waiting for surgeons to correct his acts eh? What of people who cannot afford such and they continue to feel female in a Man's body?
You people are just not serious. It s that simple. You look at people behaving in a certain way and you keep castigating them on something they are not responsible for.
MaxInDHouse: Naaaaaaaaaaaaa! Those living with infirmities are pitiable because they've got no choice but homosexuals do have a choice!
You don't seem to get how this sexuality works. Some of the women who are into fellow women have joysticks. A lesser manifestation is that is hairiness, Malish stature.
To break it down for you: A man with too much female hormones would only be attracted to men. They behave like girls and some even have breast. Some of these guys raises in christians home to believe it's a sin also do not like with some even contemplating suicide.
The homorne is called Testosterone and Oestrogen. This is what determines if someone is a man or woman not outward appearance.
If they have a choice, please enlighten us about a girl who has a pennis. Who should he/she mate with?
MaxInDHouse: After the rebellion in the garden of Eden, mankind fell short of God's glory so children were born deaf, dumb, blind, lame, hunchback and so on. This is not the image God purposed to make in man, it was sin which comes along with sickness, oldage and death that brought all these. So these two happens to be victims of Adamic sin just as billions are suffering one way or another throughout the earth today! If they become Christians, they'll have to put faith in the hope of everlasting life in Paradise, that is where all infirmities will be cured. And they can then live happily forever when Jesus miraculously do the needful on them!
Good! So we can now move on with life together with homosexuals since there was a falling from grace and glory.
If it goes for the goose, it's definitely going to be tasty with the gander.
People born with sexual and sexuality challenges are a child's play then of the effect of that your "falling from grace". I think the anger and hate by Christians and Muslims (especially) can and should equally be directed at people born deaf, dumb, two heads, no legs etc.
chukwunweikeemi: Homosexuality is unnatural.Nobody was born a homosexual because God cannot make a mistake.People decide to practice the sin of homosexuality just as some others practice bestiality,fornication,adultery and so forth..Homosexuals may argue that they were born that way but the truth remains that they decided to embrace such a disgusting and vile practice.I just can't imagine the act.I shall pray for them.
Study this image. These girls where born sharing one body. Is this a mistake?
1:Should they marry? 2: If they marry, is the husband committing "sin" by marrying two wives?
In other climes, the girls born with male organs (penn.ises), are the committing homosexuality?
Just to let you know that truth much to the chagrin and confounding of Religion Marketers is not there to be discovered based on the religion of a person. I mean truth would find you no matter your religion or lack of it. The only requirement is sincerity of purpose and a loving heart.
The truth is most people in the religions have their 'Facts' handed over to them as truth. They do not know any better. For instance, the average Xtian things the Bible was sanctioned by God. Whereas you have no evidence on this. The Torah is the Bible of Jews and then somepoeple collected letters sent out and made up the New Testament. Nothing about God saying only the books that found their way in there should be there.
Check out the idea of a perfect God dishing out babies with no limbs. What offence did they commit to warrant that suffering? Is God then just and loving assuming there is not the Past Life phenomenon which l explained earlier?
Its even not so clear that the Bible said there is no Past Life. It merely stated "it is appointed for man to die once, after that judgement" and Xtians took it from there like it's hot.
You could argue that Lazarus and the people that were risen from the dead died twice negating the Bible, if you want to seem like a nice hacker, you could say that glitch opened up room for dying more than once and have your way.
Further, that scripture is true as far as a lifetime is concerned. In any lifetime, you are to die. Not necessarily once though given the 'Lazarus Glitch'
Most important is the fact that billions of people even before the bible was written know truth. In Nigeria here, we know people reincarnate.
Again, there is no such a thing as forgiveness of Sins. Check my thread "Leave the Devil Alone Today". Cheers.
The5Dme, I understand what you mean by God not being perfect seeing people could be born with sexuality oddities.
The problem lies in people viewing life from the wrong perspective. It will interest you to know that the people responsible for our physical bodies (which people in the past called God's) as it appears now are not God. They are advanced people in appearance, intellect and so on from another planets and are actually fellow Souls as us.
Our pastors do not have enough data to work with the statement "Let US make man in our image and likeness...", So they interpreted that scripture as God speaking to his Trinity parties or so. The missing data in religion today is actually the reality of everyone having lived before.
Each Soul has a Mind that shapes it's physical appearance. Mind includes the intellect (conscious and subconscious) emotions and physical body. To cut a long story short: if Mind is focused on beautiful thoughts and actions, the mind in another incarnation and even the present will come out beautiful, spotless and clean. You can take it from here.
If Mind and another Mind have a karmic issue to settle that bothers on severe correctional karmic conditions, they could even come back here sharing same bodies.
An over-girlie or masculine Mind may still cary-over that trait to an opposite body in another lifetime and they would be referred to as a gay or lesbian. This same condition is responsible for people born without limbs, poor, rich and so on. It's all from Mind and Past Lives. Past life's is what determines destiny or fate.
There is no such thing as Sin! Only Karma! Everybody is responsible for their condition. You boyfriend or husband most likely was your mum or dad in a past life. All females had been males before and vice versa.
bigjackass: this makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Where can I find real information to read on this guardian angel? I always thought guardian angel was a myth
Not a myth at all. Check my signature for help on this. Thanks.
bigjackass: enlightening stuff. I want to understand something. Are you saying that if one is passing through challenges because of the life he lived before, that there is no way out at all and he must continue to endure till he dies,,?
Not really. They could use the power of love to ameliorate the effect of the hardship.
It's all about the Love Balance Sheet. Most people do a lot of charity to offset these loans. Charity means to do everything in the name of LOVE or GOD and nothing more.
Not even to be blessed by God as you have in places of worship where you are asked to give SO THAT you will receive.
Another way to resolve (bad) Karma is in the dream state. Your guardian angel can help you have a car accident (for instance) in the dream state (on the Astral Plane) instead of on the physical. The dream looks and feels real till you wake up. This way, the karma is paid but with no damage to your physical body.
