Musing about Life after death

Due to circumstances, I've been thinking about my mortality. I'm 59. I was in good physical health.

I'm not sure there's life after death. What I hope for is to be reunited with my mother and grandparents for eternity. I've told my "partner" cremate me fast, and ship my mother and me down to Miami to be in the same cemetery as my grandfather. I don't want him alone down there.

teachings into the parables for hiding. Therefore, we shouldn't expect those secret teachings to be identical to information given at the literal, biographical level. The secret teachings involve karma and reincarnation.

13. Hell is negative feelings

Depression, anger, hopelessness. Vindictiveness, jealousy, distrustfulness, dishonesty. Actually, all the things trump is. Trump is hell.

You and you alone decide if you want to reincarnate.

Or, as you say, you can just hang with your relatives or whomever you want. You can do this for as long as you like.

Earth as we know it is just a school. There are many other options you can take for soul growth. Earth is known to be very difficult, in fact, the most difficult. If you are here, it is because you decided to take the most difficult courses, so to speak.

It also offers the best opportunities for soul growth.

5. I think it's natural that we think about our mortality. None of us are getting out of here alive

I’m of the opinion that we return to what we are..elements found in the universe. Dust to dust kinda thing. It may be comforting to think we’re gonna all meet up up there but I don’t think so. Guess we’ll all find out one day so until then, live like it’s your last day with kindness and appreciate this beautiful Earth

6. "meet up there" - What if you had two spouses and loved them both? Who are we going to meet? Is there bigamy in heaven?

What happens in multiple marriages? What if Hell is eternity with relatives you can't stand? Maybe in Heaven you all meet and there's no jealousy. Just pure love.

Do you see pets?

Old timey gospel -

'We'll all be white in the heavenly light.'

Newer playings have changed that phrase.

For your first question.

Re second, relatives you can’t stand. That changes. There are no negative feelings; that’s an earth thing that you and they get over. Actually they are just playing a role, as are you. Once you get out of the role, all that dislike disappears.

Yes, it is pure love. It’s at a depth that is unimaginable here.

Re pets, yes you get to be with your pets. You find out there are fewer of them than you thought because some of them had reincarnated with you in this lifetime.

Actually, you can be with your pets and relatives right now if you can sense their frequency. It’s consciousness. They are consciousness. You and most humans are spinning at a lower vibration. If you can raise your vibration, you can be with them.

There’s a book called The Afterlife Frequency. It explains a lot of the science behind it. Also, the ability to do this is genetic, although anyone can do it if they want to put the time and effort into it.

There is also a very recent scientific breakthrough. I probably saved the article and if I did, I’ll post it when I get in my computer.

10. When the evangelicals and fundamentalists take over, we all either pretend to believe or find martyrdom.

And we'll believe whatever the religion in charge forces upon us.

We have plenty of folks who want to be the Christian Ayatollah of America.

15. It goes by frequency

And vibration. Whomever you are closest to in frequency is who you love and want to be with.

Everybody loves everyone. There is no such thing as bigamy because marriage is just an earth thing.
