Heaven and Back Again
In questioning my guide during the last 30 years the answer he has given me to, “What is Heaven?” has changed over time. At first, it was sort of like whatever you thought it was going to look like. Once he said incoming visited a place that looked sort of like Grand Central Station in New York. He said there were guides there who directed traffic and took charge of you to get you sorted out.
Then, he mentioned once that people could fish and play cards
if they wanted. One time he said humorously that they even had lawyers
in Heaven.
Over time my understanding was that it was sort of what the
person involved felt the afterlife was going to be, so for somebody who
had done a lot of bad in their lifetime ended up in Hell if that’s where
they figured they’d be going. Taking into account all the different
religions and belief systems there are Heaven would be whatever you were
expecting. After a time, he said we all sat in judgment of ourselves
and that was when we got to feel exactly how others felt when we did
whatever to them in life. There are guides to help you do this so you
aren’t too hard on yourself.
Wherever we ended up eventually a guide came to take us by
the elbow and said, “Follow me I’ve got something else for you to see
where you will be happy” whereupon you ended up in a way different
place. A place where you began to understand things, where you will be
with a group of souls who are your fellow students, and where you will
meet with your guides when warranted.
After a time (I’ve never understood this very well…but years?
Hundreds of years? Eons? Months?) You start thinking about what you
would like to do next. Whether you stay where you are or reincarnate
and here again, I have questions. Do you necessarily have to return to
Earth? There are other systems, other planets, other places. Why not
other dimensions? Do you want to be a humanoid creature or come back as
a horse, a bumblebee, a flower, a rock? Someone just said, “As a
paperclip?” I feel they are jesting up there.
In any case, you determine that you want to come back and do
it again. This is where you go to that vacation agency in the sky and
say to your friends and soul mates, “Hey, I want to come back as a
female this time. I’ve been male for a time and I want to experience
feminine energies. I also want to work on compassion and surrendering
so I’m going to need some help with that.” Somebody in your group says,
“Hey, I’d like to be your mother. Remember you were my mother once and
I’d like to return the favor. Plus, I’m getting ready to go back
myself. I’m going to end up in Italy. Is that okay with you?” And,
you say, “Yes, I am interested in being Italian. Let’s do it.” And so
your life plans begin to take shape. There are agreements made. You
are in somebody else’s life and others are in yours. Even, so my
understanding goes, for accidents and karmic events. Or for cataclysmic
events, like wars and such. Evidently, we are not in it for happy
times all the time. It’s like we choose what we need to experience to
help shape our souls.
And, sometimes it takes more than one lifetime to accomplish
the goals we set for ourselves. It could take 75 lifetimes to really
investigate a particular subject. (Note: I started out with 250
lifetimes, but Spirit suggested I change it to 75 so people won’t get
panicky. Essentially, I don’t think it matters.)
I asked my guide, “What about free will?” He answered that
we always have free will. That’s when he told me that for everything
that you’ve agreed to before your incarnation there are 50 different
ways to achieve those goals. This is where he said to me, “There are
hundreds of ways to get to Cincinnati. You can walk, you can run, you
can hop, you can crawl on your knees. You can take a bus, a car, a
train or a plane. Once you are incarnated this is your free will. Will
it take 2 years or 12? Your decision.
This is all very different than what I was brought up to
believe by my family. The important thing is that I am comfortable with
it now. Even the uncertainty, somehow I have been able to say, “Bring
it on. This is exciting. Let’s go places.” I wasn’t like that before.
Once I asked my guide if anybody heard our prayers. He said
our prayers are always heard by someone. I asked him who was in charge.
He said nobody. That one was a really big eye-opener for me.
After all of this what do you figure the takeaway is? Well,
you could stop being so anxious about life. You might be able to stop
worrying about what is to come and try to live more in the moment. You
could be happier if you wanted to. You could stop agonizing where your
soul-mate is because sooner or later you will be meeting up with them.
And you might start thinking about us as one. All of us. People,
plants, animals, the Earth, all of us as one. All sorts of benefits are
available here.
