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 know this might sound strange after reading prior entries, but I really don't consider myself a "spiritual" person.  Unlike a lot of people that believe in and talk about the afterlife, souls, soul-mates, etc., I don't see it all as part of some kind of grand "spiritual advancement" plan where souls learn and grow and become more loving and kind, etc. I don't really consider talking about multiple realities and afterlife dimensions to be any more "spiritual" than talking about other planets, solar systems and galaxies, or talking about parallel quantum universes. If this were a science fiction movie, in my opinion life here on the Earth we're used to would be like a "hologram deck" out of Star Trek that we visit from time to time, and our real life is actually outside of the "holodeck" world we call the physical universe.  It's like a role-playing game we willingly enter in order to have certain kinds of experie...

Another good day.  I had to run into town to do some errands and had a nice talk with Irene about our lives on the other side. I'm thinking more in terms of what I imagine life would be like considering some of the circumstances I believe to be true about the astral worlds. I was also thinking (and talking with my spirit team) about the idea of "spiritual advancement" and how that idea doesn't resonate with me in the least. When I was younger and felt discontent most of the time, I looked to spiritual "enlightenment" or advancement as a means of quenching that discontent.  As I've mentioned, I used to meditate quite a bit and was doing so when Irene and I met.  I was also a vegetarian, complete non-drinker and non-smoker and used no recreational drugs whatsoever. However, it was actually being with Irene that gave me what I had always been looking for - complete satisfaction and fulfillment.  We talked about this often, how utterly satisfied and comp...
