UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | There Is No Death Extract from a talk at a Remembrance Service by White Eagle, from ‘The Way of the Sun’: ‘There is no death. Of what are you afraid? You may look upon an empty shell – like the shell of a chrysalis – and say: ‘This is death!’ No, this is not death, it is rebirth and life. Life continues. It always is, always has been and forever will be. We, your guides from the world of light, who are fully conscious of having passed the great initiation called death, come to you having crossed the bridge of love, which is partly created by the love you are giving us. God, the Great Spirit, has so created you and your bodies – your physical and your higher bodies – that you have the power within you to commune with those you love in the world of spirit. You have material available for the construction of this bridge between your physical world and the worlds on the higher ethers. We are coming to you and you can also learn to join us in full consciousness. ‘In your earthly life you can be builders, together with us, your companions of your spirit, of a bridge between your state of life and the higher life. When humankind has accomplished this task in full consciousness, it will know that the Angels and Masters, the great siblinghood of the Christ Star, are with you to inspire and assist you with all your tasks in earthly life. This does not mean shifting your present responsibilities onto the companions of your spirit. It means you yourself are acting on the Divine laws of the Universe. Some people seem to think they can sit back and let God and the Angels do the work. This is not the case. You are on the Earth to learn about vital spiritual truths and these lessons can only be learnt through everyone’s own daily experiences. You have to learn to do and act with love and great care. Merely saying so is not good enough.’ * * * | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Updated version Death Where Is Thy Sting? Although we are eternal beings who cannot die and even though in truth there is no death, to say: ‘Death is nothing!’ would belittle its significance. What we earthlings perceive as death, when someone departs from this plane, is but a change and a transformation into a different state of life, which every soul has to undergo at the end of each lifetime. I believe that eventually everybody will reach the level of awareness where they can accept that this is so; we shall thus save ourselves a great deal of pain and suffering. You don’t have to take my word for it that this is true. How about trying the following for yourself? First find a quiet space where you can be sure that no-one will disturb you for a reasonable length of time. The best and safest way of doing this is by first asking your Guardian Angel to stand by you, to guide and protect you and show you the way. Then make yourself as comfortable as you can, light a candle, look into its flame, centre yourself by listening to the sound of your breathing, and feel how you are becoming still. Only when you are good and ready start to imagine that your loved one is drawing close and wishes to communicate with you. Focus on your heart and listen to the words of comfort that come to you from there, safe in the knowledge that these are not messages from some ‘other world out there somewhere’ but from your own heart, where your loved presently dwells. Having done this for a moment or two, read the words that start at the following paragraph. Don’t think about them or evaluate them, but focus your attention on the world of your feelings and listen to the responses that come from your heart; they are your inner guidance. This is what your loved one wishes to tell you: ‘I have not gone from you. I have merely slipped onto different level of life and that is very much like going into another room. The world of spirit is not some place else; it is not ‘up there’, but an integral part of your present environment, the material world. Although I no longer dwell on that plane, I am still myself and you are you; we always shall be. We are eternal beings who cannot die and whatever we have ever been to each other, we still are. The love between us does not need to die through my departure. The great wisdom of the Divine has decreed that, on the contrary, through the experience of death human love should grow stronger and deeper – if two souls so wish. ‘That’s why I ask you to call me by my old familiar names, let them be the well-known words they always were and say them without effort. Speak to me the easy way you used to do and let there be no difference in the sound of your voice. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Enjoy the jokes that made us laugh and express your amusement the way we always did together. Play with me and smile at me. Think of me and pray for me in the manner you always did. Never doubt for a moment that I can hear you, that I feel your love, and that I shall always be with you, wherever you are. ‘Life is eternal and the human spirit is immortal. In truth, there is no death and life consists of absolute and unbroken continuity. On the inner level all is one, and you always have been as much part of me as I am of you. Nothing needs to change between you and me, just because I have gone through the great transformation before you. If we both so wish, our relationship can remain the same it always was, and between you and me life can continue to be everything it has meant to us. ‘My departure from the physical plane was no accident. It was meant to happen exactly when it did. For your sake – not mine – make an effort to accept this, the way I have done. And don’t believe anyone who tries to tell you that because I am out of your sight, I should also be out of your mind. That can only happen, if that is what you want. And if you still yearn for me, the death of my physical body is going to present us with many opportunities for coming closer to each other than it was ever possible before, when we both still dwelled in physicality. ‘You can find me and be with me, whenever you want to, because I shall be alive in your heart, for as long as you want me to be there. In the corners of your mind I am always waiting for your call. I shall never be further away from you than a thought and you can get in touch with me whenever you want. It’s as simple as that. I shall always listen to you when you need me and when you call me, I will come to help and guide you. In spite of all that, never forget that you and I now each have different lessons to attend to – you in the material world, and I in the world of light. ‘Therefore, let us also give each other the necessary space and time, so that when we do meet we can come closer to each other than we ever did before, to share precious moments – the way we used to do. All life rests safely in God’s loving hands and all is well. God and the Angels are constantly with you and with me. Nothing has changed, I forever will be I and you in all Eternity shall remain you.’ The essence of a White Eagle Monday Thought 8.2.2016 tells us more about what happens during such communications: ‘Whenever you are seeking contact with your loved ones in the world of spirit, you may receive very little material evidence of their presence, if any. Even though there may be practically nothing that could be written down and presented as proof, when you sit in communion with them you may discover that there is a flow of love that passes between your hearts. ‘By a touch, a scent or certain words and phrases, a line from a song or a poem that come to your mind you know intuitively that you are in touch with the spirit of your loved one. Sometimes in absolute silence an action or an atmosphere is created that reveals their presence to you. This is because communications of this nature are taking place on the highest spiritual plane the other soul has been capable of reaching during their most recent lifetime on the Earth plane.’ From ‘Comfort for the Bereaved’ * * *

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Aquarius This is uncanny. Before checking the Board just now, I did one of Christine's UMS meditations, the one on Focusing on an Object as Focal Point. It is not one with which I usually resonate much, but I am trying to do one of them a day, in sequence, to aid my recovery. Not having an object to hand, such as a candle as Christine suggests one might, I used a mental image, and the mental image I chose is a pciture I saw once, but do not possess, of my late friend who committed suicide 18 months ago at the age of 60. I visualised a picture of her I saw once at her age of 21. Then as the meditation progressed, my mental image drifted to seeing her corpse, as it lay at rest before committal. Not that I was able to get there for that presence either. Whenever I visualise her now, her presence is immediately with me anyway. Then after completing the meditation, I logged on, and read your post here and now, posted 3 hours ago! And the words you - or White Eagle - suggests using, were more or less exactly what happened in my meditation experience. Comforting, yet also, bereft feelings I just thought I would share this experience and evocation. Blessings all Paul | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Thank you, Paul, for sharing this experience with me. It really is astonishing! Proof that on the inner level of life we have a strong connection with each other, don't you think? It was my interpretation of a White Eagle teaching I had received with the Lodge's Monday Thought. And that shows that the wise ones in charge of us in the world of light are communicating with our world through me. The original teaching must have been very old, because the transmissions of the White Eagle group of guides through Grace Cooke, the medium they used, stopped some decades ago. Through me they are bringing further understanding to us and our world. And that shows that the wise ones in charge of us in the world of light are communicating with our world through me.

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Paul, Our Angels and Masters, friends and helpers in the world of light are by no means some kind of Overlords. They are our siblings in the great family of life. I received their White Eagle teaching by e-mail Monday about lunchtime and dealt with it immediately by re-interpreting it. Yet, for some reason, not consciously known to me, I held the posting of it back until the next day. Doesn’t the whole incident prove the presence of their guiding and protecting hands? * * * Edited by Aquarius 2/11/2016 2:29 PM | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Paul, In my view, nothing on this plane of life or any other ever happens perchance or by coincidence. Everything serves a higher purpose and has meaning, which for us in our present role as earthlings can be difficult to decipher. With love - Aquarius * * * | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 1882 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: NE Ohio | Welp: I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I died back in December of 2010 and jumped over to a different dimension that survived. But i didn't come back the same, absolutely everything was different. I felt different. It felt like i had entered into some hell of some sort. I had lost a portion of who i was, or like i took on someone else's DNA that was in a deep rut of depression. I have never been the same since. I did nearly die, and i was given a blood transfusion. so in some weird way, i did take on someone elses DNA. So, do we die? or do we just jump dimensions? Do we ever remember a time that we didn't exist? I'm just now feeling like my core self is there.... at least my psychic sense has increased tremendously. I have been noticing a lot of synchronicity and coincidences that i cannot just ignore. Anyway, GREAT TOPIC Blessings~ | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | You Are Born Into Flesh The following items are the essences of several White Eagle teachings. From ‘The Lightbringer’: ‘You are born into flesh, but in truth you are a spirit and soul who is spending time in earthly life so that your spirit may quicken and grow and once again become conscious of its Divine inheritance. You are by no means limited by your present existence, although to this day millions of people still believe that when their physical body dies, their whole being dies and that’s the end of them. What a surprise they will have when they see their physical body lying inert and dead, and they are still consciously living, in spite of the fact that they have no power to get the earthly body they left behind moving again. This is how your spirit and soul are set free and return into the world of spirit, your true home which is part of the Earth plane. From ‘Memories of Reincarnation – White Eagle’s Work in the Present Day’: ‘Love is the Universal law of life and God’s will is that you learn how to love wisely, all people and everything else that shares your life with you. This you do by constantly sending out goodwill and light to all. We, your guides in the world of spirit, are working, for a long time unknown to you, on human minds and hearts. The years have been speeding by and we are glad to tell you that humankind has passed the darkest stages of its evolutionary journey. ‘Ever more of you are presently awakening to the inner light of the Christ that is waiting to teach each one of you how to become a perfected son/daughter of God and the human race. As you overcome the desires and passions of your lower animal self, you make room for the living God within you, the Christ Spirit, to manifest in you and your life. The growth of this part of you is our Divine heritage and constant progress in spiritual evolution is your destiny. What you begin today you will continue tomorrow. And in the world of spirit or light you will still be working to guide, inspire and bless humankind, in the same way as many of you are doing, now.’ ‘The mystery and the miracle of life is continually making itself known and manifests itself through all your experiences. But those of death reveal themselves when you re-enter into world of spirit and with it regain the conscious awareness that life is eternal. As the spirit and soul withdraw from earthly life they escape into the freedom of their true home, where they are free to explore other levels of existence. Why do you grieve when your loved one has entered into such a much fuller and richer life? Or are you weeping because you are feeling lonely? There is no need for shedding tears over souls who have gone onward to a greater happiness than the Earth plane can offer.’ From ‘Illumination’ first published 1937: ‘Death is a mystery only because you do not understand. As a child is received into earthly life with love and rejoicing, can you imagine with how much more joy returned souls are welcomed to the spirit world? Could you but understand, you would rejoice with them and pray: ‘God, I thank You that my loved one has entered into the fuller and richer life of the spirit.’ ‘Would you chain your loved ones down, keep them in some dark cell of age and pain, just because you love them so dearly? Would that be the voice of love? Rather than doing that a truly loving heart cries: ‘Beloved, I raise myself with you into the light. Enter and be joyful there, for in due course I shall be joining you.’ From the Lodge Calendar February 2008: ‘Words can be cheap and may fall as dead ash in the end. Yet, if you base your life on God-action in thought, word and deed, you are acting as a conscious being in the vast world of light where the only genuine and lasting happiness and perfection can be found. Therefore, walk the narrow path of doing what your inner guidance tells you is right. Never forget that you are not walking alone and that your Guardian Angel is helping you in all your endeavours. Whenever you are ready to know more about yourself, God and the world you are living in, it will show you the way.’ * * * | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Hi Jill So sorry for your difficult time ... I often think we - humans - have turned our Earth heaven into the dark dimension ... through being kind and loving towards one another it helps to redeem that slightly, but overall the darkness seems to be prevailing .... death though just seems to be a step into greater darkness Love and hugs Paul | ||

Dear Paul, That in my view is purely a matter of everyone's personal perception. It is up to each one of us to bring their own small piece of Heaven - heavenly understanding - onto the Earth plane. No-one can do this for us. We ourselves have to do it. With love - Aquarius * * * | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Paul, Come to think of it, isn't every second, minute and hour of each day irrevocable and can never be brought back? It's no different with the death of our physical bodies really. With love - Aquarius * * * | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Dear Aquarius Yes that is so, isn't it, except, we can revise and change what we do in this life, if we make mistakes, or learn, and adapt - but the irrevocability and irreversibility of death makes that a one time deal, doesn't it? Although I suspect that doing spiritual exercises - prayer, meditation, yoga, t'ai chi, etc - whatever path we choose (so long as it is based in love) - prepares our soul for whatever that ultimate fate holds in store. Love Paul | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | The State Of Our World Every second, minute and hour of each day of our lifetimes on the Earth plane is irrevocable and can never be brought back. Each time we make a mistake we learn something from it and do better the next time round. This does not alter with the death of our physical bodies. In the world of light, just the same as in earthly life, we can revise what we have been doing, where we went wrong and changes in our thinking and behaviour patterns are advisable. For a long as we believe that Earth life is a one-off thing, we shall think of and fear physical death as something irrevocable and irreversible. This changes dramatically when we discover that in truth we are eternal beings who will never die, and that life continues whenever our physical body, the vehicle for one lifetime only, has been returned to Mother Earth. What a surprise awaits us in the early stages of our development when once more we have returned to the world of light, our true home, only to find out that any outstanding issues and dysfunctional relationships we thought had been left behind have not done anything of the kind. During all coming lifetimes – however many it may take – we are going to be offered opportunities for resolving all issues and healing each one of our relationships. Being aware of our true nature, naturally we wish to make as much progress as possible on the evolutionary journey of life. That’s why we freely and willingly pick up the threads we left dangling and get to work. I do believe that we are all accountable for our own development and also for that of our world. In my view, there is no need to despair over its present state, because in the long course of our evolution over millions of lifetimes, all of us have taken part in making it this way. That’s why it seems only fair to me that now it’s everyone’s duty to do their share of putting things right and making our world a better, safer and more beautiful place to be for everything that shares it with us. Regardless of that, neither you nor I are our brother/sister’s keeper – they too are responsible for themselves. But, we are all in this life together so we can help each other carry the burdens of Earth life. To enable us to make the progress on our evolutionary pathway that is potentially possible in every lifetime, it is helpful to bear in mind that because of our oneness on the inner level of life, every word, thought and action of one soul influences all others, in a positive as well as a negative sense. As sparks of the Divine, we are young Gods in the making. The sooner we wake up to our responsibilities towards our own wellbeing and that of our whole world, the better. And because we are all here together to rally round each other in times of need, as best we know how to, that’s the reason for writing this and why I am saying to you now: ‘Don’t give up – go for it! Find healing, walk that wondrous journey of discovery of the self, of the true nature of your being, hand in hand with God and the Angels, who are waiting to be called upon by you. Know that you are loved. It does not matter what you did in the past of what you may presently think, do or say, you are still loved. For one thing, I love you – that is why this is now before you.’ God bless you and may the Angels keep you safe, now and forever. With love and light, Aquarius Recommended Reading: | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Whatever you decide to do, know that you have a right to be here; that you are entitled to find happiness and healing; and that – if you but stay – you have a good chance of finding all of these things. Try to look at what you are going through at present as an opportunity that will, if you seize it and work with it, in due course lead you into becoming a healer in your own right. Your present experiences are meant to help you become a kinder, more loving and compassionate person, towards others and also yourself. Going in search of one’s own light at the end of one’s personal tunnel of suffering, in your case the one of depression, gradually develops the ability to show others that their lives and their experiences are valid and worth living through, the same as yours have been and always will be. However, this inner knowing must grow organically from within you, through your very own experiences. Only when this growth has taken place, will you be able to convincingly teach others how to do for themselves what you did in the past. So long as this you fail to see: That death precedes re-birth. A gloomy guest you’ll always be, Upon this darkling Earth. From: ‘Seliges Verlangen’ ‘The Soul’s Yearning’ Goethe * * * | ||

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | According to a type of perspective the world is a mirror of ourselves; so long as do not get into the 'blame the victim' typology ... In adopting the syncretic method, however, I also - or therefore - think it is equally important not to undermine the tradition and roots of how and where the ideas being syncretised - or synthesized - come from, or have their origins ... otherwise spirituality can become a free-for-all, and who then is to say whose 'inner voice' has more sway than anyone else's ... I think of our - or my - spirituality as coming from a common root (the metaphor of a tree growing with its roots hidden in the earth), then we see different branches, unifying and disappearing into the sky (heaven) ... but that is not to deny the validity of, or need for, roots (to quote Simone Weil) | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Throughout the ages, new religions did appear at certain predestined times to serve humankind, as our race by then was ready to receive more of the Divine truth. As soon as one of the old belief systems has lost its usefulness it is removed and replaced by something else. A good one has to be capable of taking on the role of a staff on which human souls can lean whilst on the Earth plane. The sole purpose of a religion that is worthy of carrying that name needs to be the wish to act as a ladder that invites and encourages human souls to climb on by seeking to increase their own understanding of God’s sacred wisdom and truth, wherever it may present itself. In my view, any organisation that fails to fulfil this task in the long run is doomed, as the Aquarian Age requires from all of us that we re-establish our inner connection with the Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life, in whom everybody – without any exceptions – has their origin and before whom we are all equals.

PhD Alumni Posts: 4414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Aquarius No true religion is a 'staff' as a 'prop' - it may be from time to time - but the central goal of religion is awakening, in my book anyway: or, connecting with the Higher Self in the terminology of your post. This can actually be quite challenging and disconcerting rather than comforting. Night Paul Edited by Paul Joseph 4/9/2016 2:54 PM | ||

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | A Lesson Of Value Do you know what I would do, if I could live my life all over again? I would go to bed when I am sick, instead of pretending the Earth would go to pieces and my family would not survive without me. I would burn my most precious candles before they melted in storage. I would talk less and listen more. I would invite friends to dinner, even if our carpet were stained and our sofa old and faded. I would take the time to listen to my grandfather ramblings about his youth. I would share more of the responsibilities my husband carries and expect him to be interested in mine. I would not insist that the car windows should be closed on a warm day because my hair had just been done. I would sit on a lawn without minding grass stains. I would laugh and cry less while watching television and more by observing the world around me. I would not buy anything merely because it is practical, does not get dirty too easily or is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I would cherish every moment and treasure taking part in the miracle inside me. I would be proud to be a woman and feel honoured that one of God’s greatest mysteries was being created through me. I would no longer call my monthly cycle ‘the curse’, because I now know that it is a precious part of the great wisdom without which the wonder and miracle of God’s most beautiful gifts to humankind could not be given. If one of my children wanted to give me a kiss, I would not say: ‘Later. Now get washed and ready for dinner.’ I would use the words ‘I love you’ and ‘I’m sorry’ much more frequently. But mostly, when I come into my next lifetime, I shall seize every minute and take note of what’s happening inside and around me. I shall not sweat over small things and worry about who does not like me, who has more than I have and who should be doing what. I shall cherish the relationships with those who love me. And I shall reflect frequently on what God has blessed me with and what I can do each day to create good health on all levels of my being, mentally, physically, emotionally and most of all spiritually. I shall treasure the good things of earthly life while I am there, be grateful for them and give thanks to our Father/Mother Creator for all their gifts. I am going to make the most of everything that has been given to me before this lifetime ends. The above was written when my physical body was dying from cancer. Now that I have been in the world of spirit for some time, my message to you is: ‘Do not be afraid of death. I came to the other side and thought: ‘Why, there is nothing to it. I did not feel anything. Apart from being no longer in pain, I do not feel any different. I am still the same I was in earthly life.’ It’s really beautiful here, too. Everything I loved and treasured on the other side, I also have with me here. All the loved ones that ever left me and even the pets I lost are now with me. Had I known all that, I would not have been afraid of death or even illness. Who knows? Without fear my body may never have developed cancer. And when the Angel comes to take me home, I shall get hold of its hand happily and contentedly, knowing that I shall always be taken care of, wherever my destiny my wish to take me one of these days. And by the way, do not believe it when anyone says to you that we come into Earth life with nothing and that we leave it in the same state. Take it from me: that is just not true. We are a spirit and soul, we are consciousness and that is what we bring with us into each new lifetime on the Earth. The learning we there draw from all our experiences help our consciousness to grow and expand. At the end of each one of our lifetimes we take with us into Eternity the sum total of everything we have learnt up to that moment. We bring it with us into every next earthly sojourn where it supports and sustains us. No experience is ever wasted and my advice to you is: look for what you can learn from everything that is in your life. Make an effort to absorb the lessons life sends you, as that is the only way to grow and evolve. Know that everything serves a higher purpose, although it is often quite hard to recognise what that should be, it is always there. And do not forget to give thanks often for the wisdom and love of the Great Father/Mother of all life, our true parents. Thank them for creating you and allowing you to take part in earthly life, so that you may grow and mature into spiritual adulthood. These are some of the things my most recent earthly lifetime has taught me. In all Eternity the learning I have found shall be mine. Because of it I shall be able to cope much better with earthly life next time round than during all previous occasions. This message is coming to you because I wish to share my learning with those who are still on your side of the veil, in the hope that it will help them in some way. God bless each one of you. See you around in the world of light one of these days. Your loving sister in spirit, Erma Bombeck Edited by Aquarius From ‘Comfort for the Bereaved’ * * * | ||

Can you picture him being seated on a bench in a beautiful park with beds of beautifully coloured and scented flowers and great swathes of lush verdant grass? He is watching some children playing together nearby and you can see from the expression on his face that he dearly wishes to join them. Yet, he remains seated on his bench. Despite being away from home, he feels a deep sense of peace. Surrounded by nothing but love and warmth, he knows that this is his true home where everybody is safe. One of the Angels joins the children and gives each one a big hug. The Angel beckons the newly arrived ones and shows their playground. The children join hands and start singing and dancing with joy. Our little boy, however, is still sitting on his bench and watching the other children enjoying themselves. It is making him sad and his head sinks onto his chest. The Angel joins him and asks: ‘Why aren’t you playing with the others?’ The boy replies: ‘I have been here for a while and have tried to go with you whenever you were taking us children to the playground. But each time I try to get up, I can feel my mother in earthly life crying and her sadness grips me like iron shackles. And so I stay here to comfort her. One of the other Angels told me that I have to continue to do this until she lets me go.’ Message from the Angels: ‘Whenever you think of the loved ones who have moved into the world of light, feel your love for them in your heart and acknowledge it. Know that love is eternal and that the loving bond that once existed between the two of you will never fade away. Nothing and no-one can ever destroy it or take it away from you, because it is immortal and cannot die, the same as your own spirit and that of your loved ones. The love between you is yours to call upon, whenever you feel the need for it. ‘So, grieve for a while, though not for them but for the empty space their absence has left in your life. Then let them go and set them free to attend to the lessons that are waiting for all of you in the spirit world. Your learning will never finish and neither will your love.’ Created by Anon.

UMS Guest Posts: 1938 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: United Kingdom | Death Is Smaller Than I Thought ![]() My Mother and Father died some years ago, I loved them very much. When they died my love for them Did not vanish or fade away. It stayed just about the same, Only a sadder colour. And I can feel their love for me, Same as it ever was. Nowadays, in good times or bad, I sometimes ask my Mother and Father To walk beside me or to sit with me, So we can talk together Or be silent. They always come to me. I talk to them and listen to them And think I hear them talk to me. It’s very simple – Nothing to do with spiritualism Or religion or mumbo jumbo. It is imaginary. It is real. It is love.

Choosing to live a human life was a choice we each made as it's a vacation from the pure spirit form. Yes vacations are not always fun and have problems too. Anyone can make this vacation fun, or problem filled. ... the focus is the choice of each host. Feeling pain is just part of being human. Since we have all eternity to never feel pain, a few human lives here and there are just a pinch of all there is. ... Embrace the Human experience while it lasts! Love and Light | ||
