Holiday Open Thread

On the surface, it may seem that those who are not with us anymore are “missing out” on Memorial Day, or on any other holiday with family. This concern is a human concern, it’s something that most would think is the case. But, what about those who have passed on and now no longer are able to spend time with their families or do the things that we take for granted?

From their standpoint, we are the ones who are “missing out.” This is necessary, our physical lives are gifts to our spirits. Our true self is our spiritual self, our physical self is just a “tool” used by our real selves as we accomplish our purpose in this current physical life. Our true world, our true environment, is the “spirit world.” When hospice patients talk about “home”, many are talking about where we eventually go.  While incarnated, we go about our daily lives with a fraction of the knowledge of who we truly are. We also have access only to a fraction of what we truly know.

Once we complete our intended life expectancy, we return home. We do the equivalent of “waking up from a dream.” During the dream, we only possessed a fraction of our actual physical world knowledge and awareness. We regain our awake memories when we come out of the dream. Likewise, after we remove our “costume” the amnesia that sets in on most people, by kindergarten, disappears… In many instances, it partially disappears for many who are on their death beds. Along with the disappearance of the spiritual amnesia comes the “lifting of the veil”… We will see some of those who had left before us.

Once this spiritual amnesia starts to lift, we remember who we truly are, and that our physical lives, names, physical makeup, psychological makeup, emotional makeup, “what we want others to see of us” persona, etc., are not who we truly are. They were a part of the “costume” we agreed to use to enhance our spirit’s development as well as that of others. We agreed to play roles for each other, and our physical bodies place us in the best position to do that.

Even the names that we go by, our names are just “stage names.” We already have names on the other side, our real names. Our family and social status will not carry over. We may see our deceased parents as “mother” and “father”. However, where they are at right now, neither Mom nor Dad sees us as sons or daughters. Those were just stage roles that we played for each other to aid with lessons we intended to learn.

We will see, then, what has always been the case from the standpoint of our spirits… That it is our physical world that is the illusion, that our physical selves were also illusions. Even death is an illusion. Consciousness remains and continues uninterrupted through the physical “death”. To our consciousness, physical death will be a proses of shifting/phasing from the physical domain to the spirit domain.

Then we will remember… Why things happened to us, why certain people came into our lives and why others chose not to, why we had certain physical characteristics, etc. We will understand, from a practical standpoint, that we are not separate from “the source”, from “totality”, from “total consciousness” or from each other. We will understand that our consciousness is an inseparable part of this greater consciousness.

We would be able to, with ease, solve mathematical concepts that still baffles the greatest of mathematicians, solve scientific problems that stomp scientists, we would see in dimensions beyond the third, we would see, simultaneously, the totality of the impacts that our actions towards others have had. We will experience our impacts on others again, simultaneously from our standpoint, from the standpoint of the others, and from that of an observer doing a post physical life after action review.

This is but a sample of what we will remember and experience…  We will be happy, the feeling of positivity/love that we would experience could not be completely described with the words that we currently use in our language. The physical world and its happenings, and our missing out, would not sadden us. We would rather that those who survive us be happy and to carry on with their own lives. This is also a part of our soul agreement that we made with those around us, including those who have passed on before us… To continue with our own physical sojourn, to fulfil the purpose for which we were born, and to not allow ourselves to be hindered by the passing of others. We do those, no longer with us, a disservice if our sorrow gets in the way of our own purpose or that of others.
