Watching someone leave their body is an incredible experience. Having them return is miraculous. It’s part of this ever revolving, ever evolving story. I know everyone has their beliefs about dying, death, religion, “heaven,” the after-life and the meaning of life. It’s not my job to convince, cajole or alter people’s thinking however I’m willing to share my experiences, my perceptions and what I’ve seen over the course of my life. 

My first concept is, what most perceive to be true, is but a limited version of the actual larger story. Even “heaven” and what most envision “heaven” to be, from my perception is but looking through a pin-hole of what actually “is.” I can feel “heaven,” the dimensional-space-beyond, as ever expanding in its consciousness, its awareness. As we progress, the universe and dimensional aspects also expand forever forward into love and completeness.

  
I also feel when our bodies die, our beliefs and perceptions follow us. The images and beliefs that fill our minds and hearts are recreated as we leave the physical. Thus Christians will see Jesus, followers of Islam will see Mohammed, Hindus will see Vishnu, Jews will connect with Yahweh and on throughout the religious worlds. I believe this holds true for spiritualists to atheists. What our beliefs are, continue to be with us until we grow and expand and we see further than we’ve ever imagined. Thus, everyone’s truth is real, is correct, is perfect ~ at that moment ~ until awareness ignites into greater possibilities beyond the planetary system.

I personally believe nature is our mirror. We move through the cycles of birth, growth, expansion, till we contract, retract and eventually meld back into dust. We return again and again till we perfect the cycles, living completely within the circle of love. I have experienced and felt myself dying, not in this timeframe but in others. One I will share is dying from a bullet wound to the left side of my abdomen. It was sudden and a fairly quick departure from the body. Ironically too, the bullet wound itself was not painful, more pain-less than imagined from perceived images. I remember my body fading as I silently slipped from its cellular matrix, the energy lifeless, no longer able to sustain my soul frequency. I ascended away from the earthly images and into another dimensional construct of energy, love, possibilities and choices.

On the “other side” there are options, opportunities and multiple levels. Ironically I believe they are available here if we had the vision to see. We are extremely limited in our perceptions in what we choose to believe is real ~ for safety reasons, in other words, out of “fear,” for security, for tradition, and a multitude of others including our own choosing of limitations. We have to be blind to truly see.

When my dad jumped ship and left his tired body, I could sense him above us hovering, choosing to stay or go. I know he saw my distraught mother, sensed her anxiety and fear. He in his love for her, for us, chose to come back and stay awhile yet, to participate, rejoice in another day lived. He has no fear of dying, of leaving his body, only in leaving his loved ones, albeit briefly. Because in the scheme of the cosmos, our lives are but a blink, a nano-second in the ever expanding consciousness of the eternal.

  
I asked him if he had noticed anything while gone. Being short and succinct, he just said, “Hell no, I wasn’t looking.” You have to understand my dad and his hilarious sense of humor.  I appreciated his sentiments. 

 I’ve been with others who have left their bodies, moved on into the greater “All that Is.” The most vivid aspect is the remaining body without the energy of the soul, like seeing my dad’s lifeless one as we were moving it. The bodies that had serviced the souls well. We are our bodies and we are not. I believe we need to honor their consciousness, their cells that hold our vitality, our soul consciousness for our brief journeys.

Death and dying is a natural cycle. What isn’t natural is our fear.

To life, our body consciousness and to an easy fearless departure when the time is appropriate. 

To the eternal!

Cosmic sunshine to you.
