Re: Deceased Relative, Help Interpreting!?
I feel your grandfather is okay.
I said that we live eternally. His reply to that (to the best of my memory ) was... "yeah, but thats a difficult program to get into.
"
Perhaps he's alluding to rebirth. From most accounts, the afterlife is extremely thought-responsive and people bring their habitual ways of thinking across with them. One of the benefits of being able to still the mind and control the flow of thoughts and emotions is said to be that once we cross over to such a thought-responsive environment we have a much easier time. In this respect, dream state lessons, lucid dreaming and astral projection may be good practice for the Afterlife.
Delaying access to “the difficult program†may be the result of people setting up communities in the Afterlife that are much like the ideal (or less than ideal) lives they may live here. Thus, they go along for a period somewhat limited in what they experience and not really accessing Source at the level of highest potential. They still manifest a human appearance, live in “houses†use forms of transport and eat “food". Some even “sleep†for a while after arriving (especially those who were taught they’ll sleep until a ♥♥♥♥♥et sounds for Judgement Day because they feel they’re not supposed to be conscious). Eventually, they start realizing their potential to shape energy, change their appearance, access knowledge and guide others, among other things. Some, of course, take a long time (our perception) to get this far, being caught in the sticky substance of their etheric bodies, close to the attractions or traumas of earth.
It was a note, saying something about fear stunting the growth of flourishment in the afterlife.
There are a number of stories by Afterlife visitors/frequenters that support this. One reads stories about the atheist who won’t acknowledge her ongoing existence or the sadist who creates a hell with like minded-souls so he can go on playing his games of cruelty. There are those caught in long life-reviews as they try to work through the various dramas of their lives with attendant guilt and resentment.
I guess fear will always impose limits of the imagination and in a thought-responsive environment I’d imagine imagination is extremely important.
I recommend to you Robert Moss’ The Dreamer’s Book of the Dead, A Soul traveller’s Guide to Death and Dying, And the Other Side or Kurt Leland’s books Otherwhere: A Field Guide to Nonphysical Reality for the Out-of-Body Traveler and The Unanswered Question. Victor Zammit sometimes has some good material available here too.
I realise this speculation on my part isn't entirely satisfying, so if he does elaborate on what he meant, please post it because I'm really keen to know more about this.
