This month I’m exploring a question I am asked quite often: “What happens when we reach the spirit world?”
The information I’m about to share is based on the firsthand accounts of people who have had a Near Death Experience. This means that they have briefly crossed over to the spirit world due to a medical event or injury before being revived and returning to life. If you have a different belief about what happens following death, I respect your point of view. How can we truly know, until death greets each of us?
Since at death we leave behind our earthly body, some people worry that they won’t be recognised in their spirit form. They also worry about how they will recognise their loved ones who are already spirits.
I’m happy to put these concerns to rest. Every spirit has its own vibration in terms of colour, frequency and sound. Communication still occurs, but it is telepathic. You are as much an individual in your spirit form as you are on Earth. Recognition is instantaneous. Leaving behind the human body is like taking off a uniform after a day at work and relaxing in your most comfortable clothes. You remain the same person. There is no risk that you will not be recognised or welcomed in the spirit world.
As we cross into the spirit world, we will be met by members of our soul family and/or our main teaching guide. Because we knew this guide before we incarnated, we will remember them even if they were not involved in our most recent life. The veil of forgetting is removed, and we know once more who we truly are – we are spirits who chose to experience a human life for our soul’s learning and growth. Our life will be reviewed with one of our guides so that we can understand how well we achieved the goals and lessons that were set before we were born. We are always accountable for our intentions and actions.
Some spirits need healing and rest if they have suffered prior to passing over. Others are ready to resume their spiritual lives immediately.
It is important to add that people who take their lives through suicide are greeted with compassion when they enter the spirit world. Sometimes, the struggle of remaining in a human body is just too great. Once in the spirit world, the newly arrived soul will experience the impacts of their decision on their soul’s growth and also on the lives of those left behind. It is likely they will return to complete unfinished lessons in another incarnation when it is appropriate. Many are deeply regretful of the pain their suicide caused the ones they love, but still feel it was the only decision they knew how to make at the time.
Love and compassion are the essence of life in the spirit world and the opportunity for deeper wisdom and growth is available to all.
There is so much I could discuss on this topic, so I will continue discussing life in the spirit world next month.
