Dear Eric,
Do you believe we are eternal soul energy, and that when our physical bodies stop moving through this earth life, we are still intact?
My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago, very peacefully, at 90. She wrote letters to each of her seven children a few months before she died, and wrote one more communal note to them the morning she left to go into the hospital.
She walked to the hospital, her heart was beating irregularly, went to sleep, and died a few days later. (I can only hope I take after her!) Anyway, my 70-year old mother is having a crisis. She is convinced that my grandmother is “gone” and this has really shaken her.
I believe we exist “before/now/after” all at once and that my “grandmother” still is. I received copies of the letters she wrote in today’s mail. Reading them, I have been filled with a sense of peace, deep appreciation for kindnesses I’ve experienced, love; I wish my mom didn’t feel so afraid. So…my question is: after staring off into the stars for so long, do you feel more or less inclined to profess that we exist within and without the physical limitations of our bodies living on top of this planet?
Enjoy your day!
Victoria
Dear Victoria,
In sum the answer is yes — though I am uncertain how it manifests. I think that part of why we see things about other levels of existence so differently owes to the ego distortions we live with here; everyone with their own model and mythology. We are looking out the cracks in the barn from different points of view. A few of us go out for a walk every now and then, and what we come back with seems incredible.
