There are books on the subject of Death of course, but with varying, and sometimes totally conflicting ideas. Most religions are based upon the idea that there is a form of after-life. and that there is a system of reward or punishment awaiting us when we die. Sometimes by merely challenging the status quo of orthodox teachings, is enough to make a person deemed “bad”, and liable for a state of “hell”. This sort of belief has distorted people’s thinking for ages, and is one of the reasons why there are not many really authoritative books on the subject of Death and Dying. Theological “experts” dare not quarrel with well-established orthodox teachings.

People are thus left feeling bewildered as they ask the question “What is death, and what happens when I die?” Some people believe that they will go to a beautiful heaven, because they regularly attended a church, and they will share that heaven with others who similarly have been regular church attendees. Others feel that they must remain with their bodies in a grave, until a day when an angel will blow a trumpet, when they will rise again; bad news of course for the poor people whose bodies were cremated in the meantime. There are those who firmly believe that large monetary gifts to a church, is a premium that will guarantee them a very pleasant eternity. Orthodoxy can be very confusing.

If you want to know what really happens when you die, forget all those old-fashioned ideas. Why not ask the real expert, one who has already been through the experience? Forget the old chestnut “Nobody has ever come back from the dead to tell us”. They have and they do. Millions have enjoyed conversation and communication with their deceased loved ones. It is happening all the time. Remember also that many people have temporarily died whilst in hospital. They too have seen, and spoken with, their dead loved ones. Many have reported having got to a beautiful heaven, and were most reluctant to have to come back.

From these experiences we start to realise there is indeed a life after death, and we quickly realise that we will all go to this beautiful place when our turn comes, irrespective of how much money we have ploughed into a church, or indeed whether we have been seen inside a church, or not.

Deceased Loved Ones have spoken with us, describing the events, which occur at the time of physical death. They have described the experience of drifting away from, and looking at, their physical bodies. Connected between themselves and their bodies was a silver cord, like an umbilical cord. When the cord vanished, that was the time of physical death, and although their bodies were finally dead, they themselves were still very much alive.

Once in the next world, they found themselves in beautiful surroundings, full of rich colours. They met up with other Loved Ones, those who had died previously. There was a form of atonement, and the help of Guides and Helpers, they were able to relive the experiences of the life they had just left, experiences that were part of their spiritual development. Animals have souls also and those that were very close to us on Earth are there waiting to greet us, having patiently waited for us, sometimes for many years.

So don’t be afraid of dying, because we will all die one day. But we will also be coming back to this Earth Plane many times, as part of our spiritual development. So if we keep on coming back, we must have gone somewhere to come back from.
