Love After Life

Today hasn't been a great day, but it has been a "good enough" day.  I'm longing for the heavenly version of us off and on.  Had a good prayer as usual and the meditations have been really good today (lots of "connection vibration" and deep relaxation), but for whatever reasons I've got some sorrowful longing going on - nothing dramatic, but enough to bring a few tears to my eyes. I started wondering what the issue was, then thought of my new acronym - LIFT, which stands for Love, Intention, Intuition, Faith and Trust.  Focus my intentions on what I Love ; let Intuition direct me and sort through my options; have Faith in the process; Trust the plan, God, Irene and those working on my behalf. It reminds me that I don't have to figure this stuff out. I don't have to dig deep and find out if I have unexamined pains, guilt or regret.  I don't have to figure out what I have to do next.  I don't have to figure out how to astral project or ...

I woke up this morning actually feeling satisfied and happy.  I don't think I realized how big a weight that single unanswered question from yesterday has been weighing on me.  In fact, it's something I realize now has been weighing on me my entire life - but I definitely see why it was important for me to not know the answer until now - to really, truly experience the lack and loss I came here to experience.  Knowing that I came here for that reason changes everything in a fundamental way.

That sense of deep appreciation afterward is not something that can be faked or learned academically or through simulation. It all makes sense to me now. I'm not saying this is the reason everyone comes here - I don't think that's the case by any means.  But for me, it puts my life in a perspective were I can really understand it and accept it and see clearly why the things that h...

I got up this morning and continued reading a book on my iPad called Across The Unknown by Stewart Edward White, who also wrote The Betty Book .  While I've been reading The Betty Book recently, I just got the urge to read some more of this book.  I've only read a handful of pages this morning yet the book has given me several important confirmations in the span of about 10 minutes of reading. The first was about imagination, where the spirits talk about imagination being the doorway to greater reality.  It's the one thing we possess consciously that connects us to the substance of the next world.  They then say they will hunt for a word that is more respectable since we all dismiss imagination as a frivolous and meaningless commodity when it comes to doing real things. That is exactly what I've been doing in using the word envisioning.  As I've written, there are different kinds of mental experience that cannot all be summed up as either "imaginary...
