Cliffhangers

With recent events of my Grandma passing away, I've been asked a few times about 'how I am handling it?'

Well...aside from me saying "I'm alright," I haven't really told anyone the truth.

Even though my Grandma (who also happened to be one of my best friends) is gone in this life, I'm taking it rather well. In fact, I'm quite happy about the entire thing. I don't like the fact that she is gone, and I don't like how she left, but aside from that, it is my view of death that kept me happy about it.

I'll explain...

Have you ever been reading a really amazing book, or watched a TV series that you love, or played a video game that you just had to keep playing to see the end? You go through it expecting the author/writer to come to a good conclusion at the end. But when you reach the last chapter...it leaves you with a cliffhanger.

My point is this. Life is like that book, show or game. You go through life without knowing what is at the end of this book. Sometimes it is fast, slow, happy, angry, easy, hard or sad. But when you finally reach the end, death, that is your cliffhanger. You don't know what happens until the next book (the Afterlife) is published.

When you 'die' you know all the answers. Your cliffhanger is finally understood. Everything in the 'book' makes sense, you understand every good thing and every bad thing. 

Looking at death this way, made me feel better about my Grandma leaving. I knew she was just at a different chapter and that our stories would connect again in the future.

Gaining God's Favor

Several religions in the world believe that you need to gain God's favor in order to gain entry to Heaven.
Christian's seem to have the strongest view of this (in my experience at least) and I've always NOT liked this.

Viewed from the Christian viewpoint, God created ALL of us out of love. Nothing can separate us from his love...except for sinning. If we were to sin (which the Bible claims that all of us do) if we do not ask for forgiveness, we will be sent to hell.

Other's view that God judges us all after we die, and we have a review of our life and are sent to the appropriate spot. But seeing as all of us sin, I guess we all end up in hell.


Well...I don't believe God is like that. Why would someone who loves us more than anything send us to hell for a few white lies? A man who is responsible for the death of hundreds is just as guilty as the little child that told a little lie to their parents? How does that sound fair?

I'm not saying that people can get away with adultery, murder, theft or all that...but think of it this way.

When we die, we go back up to what Christian's call: Heaven, no matter what. After our life is complete, maybe we are sent to a special room to review our life in front of Father God (or who ever, be creative at this point). Now in Heaven, we are beings of pure light and joy, keep this in mind, as it will come up later.
Upon reviewing our lives, we see everything we have ever done. Every bad thing we did really has an affect on us. We feel what it was like for us and the people that we harmed. Being a person of pure love and joy, these emotions take their tole on us.

But not all is lost. Our 'punishment' if you like, is to make up for what we did wrong. Reincarnation for example, is a way we can try it again.


Now in Heaven, some people say that it would be boring, because everyone is all 'goodie- goodie' and nothing bad would happen. Well, after a feeling of "did he just say that?" I knew how foolish this is. Heaven is a place where negative emotions/energies can not be. But it isn't boring at all.
There most-likely are parties, dances, feasts (many mythologies say that there are eternal feasts in Valhalla, etc), think of anything fun and pull out any negativity in it then add it to the afterlife. That's what it will be like.

Emotions Part #2

Sadness is an emotion that is at large in the world today.
Thousands of people suffer from sadness on a daily basis.
If sadness is just another emotion, why doesn't out 'Emotion Fog' (See Emotional Energy post) run out as fast? What is depression?

Depression isn't just intense sadness. It is something built up inside someone. It started out as just plan emotion, but maybe an event triggered it and it became worse? What was that event?

Once you find out what even caused the sadness to become depression, you can start to destroy it.
Events are a massive force that shape us, even the smallest event can spur us onward, change our lives, change another person's life, do great things or even bad things to us.

I'll explain some events that may trigger depression:

How to Deal with a Bad Relationship: I have never been in a relationship, so many people wouldn't want to hear my advice on this subject. But I know how I want to be treated in a relationship, and how I would treat my partner, plus, I have had reincarnations before, so I can get the basic idea.

A good relationship can come to an end, either the Universe pulled us apart or we just couldn't do it anymore. Either way, the relationship is over. Dealing with this would seem devastating, depending on how intense of a relationship it was. But meditating in the middle of nature can help greatly here. Not only will you find out that something still loves you, you will also discover that the earth itself wants your affection.

Any breakup should be dealt with gently. Don't put yourself back out there if you aren't ready. Don't go looking for someone who reminds you of the person you broke up with, even if that guy/girl was the nicest person you have ever met. Look for someone completely new if you are ready.
Also, if it gets worse for you, don't feel bad about talking to someone. Get out there and release those negative energies that are inside your heart. Get them out there, find out that you are special and that there is always someone that loves you.


Losing your Best Friend: Personally, I have felt this. There was one friend who we spent time with pretty much every day in the summer, and as often as we could during the school year. Then one week he just didn't call or show up anywhere. He changed schools and stopped being friends with us. It sucked. For months my brother and I didn't have anyone else (aside from our family) to hang out with.
If this has happened to you, don't worry. Like what with happened with me, there is always someone. It was around this time that I grew super close with my grandparents. Not only were they my family, they also became my best friends. It may seem lame, but they were both pretty cool people.
Even if that person isn't your age, it doesn't mean that they can't be a friend of yours (people in different situations should be cautious though).
When you lose a best friend, get back out there and look for another friend. You would be surprised at just who wanted your attention. New friends are just waiting to be discovered. Keep looking.


Losing those who are no longer with us: People die, it's just that simple. It sounds harsh, but in reality, death is a beautiful thing, even if the person suffered first. When we die, we move on to another place. This new place is beautiful and full of great things. It is full of happiness and no one hurts there. Some call it Heaven, but it doesn't need a name. It just simply is beautiful.

Though it is hard losing someone, you need to remember the good times you spent with them. Picture them when they were healthy and happy. Picture you favorite times with them, keep their love alive by remembering them by how they were, not how they ended up. Still love them, honor them, burn a candle on their birthday just to honor them. Anything positive. Cry if you need to, but you need to create positive emotions when you think of them.

In the days leading up to my grandmother's passing, I gave her a quartz crystal from my collection. I didn't know why, I just felt the urge to give it to her. When she passed, I got this crystal back. I kept it on my shelf for a while, until I was able to go to my favorite spot up north. I went there with my Grandma once, and she said it was beautiful. She loved how the water sounded and she just really liked the place.
When I was there, I found a place where I was alone and I said my good-bye to her. I told her that I loved her. I put all the sadness I felt into the crystal and I threw it out into the waves. Since then, I haven't felt any sadness about her death. Every time I think of her, it is a happy memory.


More soon!

P.S. It helps to talk to Mother God. She understands the emotional side of things and is there and will comfort you. If you need to vent, she is there for you.

Namaste!

Ghosts

What Are Ghosts?

Ghosts are just a ‘shedding’ of a person’s identity, (like a snake shedding it’s skin, but the skin still stays alive). It needs energy to survive. That is why ‘ghosts’ are able to stick around when people notice them. Our ‘Thought Energy’ is an energy that they can use to survive. The more attention a ghost gets, the longer it can manifest.
Fear is also an energy that spirits use to survive. Seeing as fear can easily be the strongest energy we as humans tend to emit (and the quickest), the ghost will sometimes get us afraid, so they can use that emitted energy to fuel themselves. It isn’t mean from their point of view, it is a survival instinct. Besides, 90% of the time, it doesn’t hurt us physically (unless you freak out and fall down the stairs. That isn’t their intent)

A Residual Haunting is energy that they produced, and that energy only knows what the Residual Ghosts does. It’s an imprint.
It can’t do more then repeat an action (like floating by a window). Our identities are not immortal. We ‘shed’ our old identity when we die, because that isn’t our real identity. We reincarnate many times, each getting a new identity. So we don’t need our old ones.
So when we ‘die’ our identities attach themselves to something that defined us (our favorite place, item, the place where we died, the place we were born, anything that meant a great deal to us in our life) our identities (ghost) wants to survive, so often a Residual Haunt takes place.


What if You Die?

If someone is killed, while having a great desire to survive (like if they were murdered, or you feel that you need to stay behind to help someone that you would be leaving) their ‘Thought Energy’ can imprint itself onto the world, and is able to interact with other people that are sensitive to perceiving them.
If your identity is ‘programmed’ to different things (like someone says hello to the alive you, you would say hello back. So would your shed identity.


I Saw the Ghost of my Loved One. Are They Left Behind?

If you see a ghost of you Loved One, it is not actually them. It is a part of their energy that imprinted on this reality. This is why some ghosts do not understand that they are dead; that energy that got imprinted, was still alive when the Imprinting took place.

Even if they interact with you and are an Intelligent Haunting, the real person has already moved on. This is just some of their energy that stayed behind. Their soul is at rest, and their soul is not left behind.



Why do Some Haunting go Away?

Our ‘Haunting Energy’ naturally dissipates over time. That energy looses it’s traits, and begins to look like a slow moving energy. Which, when light bounces off this slow energy, the color that is created is black. This is the Black Masses that people will often experience.

When so-and-so Passed on, I heard Them Talking To Someone, Who Were They Talking To?

When some people are about the ‘Pass on’ they may begin talking to dead family members, or ones that they cared about. This isn’t a sigh that they are crazy, or slipping.
The person who is dying, may have a strong resistance to the though of dying, and they don’t want to leave. But, the natural flow of energy (Father God, Mother God) knows what will help us pass, (your favorite parent, spouse, friend, pet)
So maybe a Grandmother will feel more comfortable in passing on, if her deceased Husband is there to pull her through the veil, or maybe her deceased  sibling. All this is there to help us move on.
If a person does not know what angels are for their entire life, they may be afraid if Angels showed themselves in their true form, when they come to take you away. So, instead of freaking you out, your loved one is what you see. It’s not a trick.
