Everybody deals with death at least part of every day. Many people accept the inevitability of it, others are absolutely terrified of it. But not many people actually know what it is, how it works, or if there are any limitations to it. So this is today’s topic.
All living things will pass from a physical existence to a spiritual or Energy existence. In most cases, you will not know when this will exactly occur, or in many cases, why it will occur. There are many causes of death, whether it is the “death” of a leaf from a tree in the Fall, Cancer, or simply old age. Everybody has a time, and that time is negotiated between your lower Soul (your bodily consciousness) and you higher Soul (or spirit – that part of you that remains in the Energy, or Spirit realm). That time can be renegotiated, but that may only occur at levels above the level of your conscious Soul (it is generally agreed upon between your higher Soul, and a group of beings that represent the “Soul cloud” of the Universe you exist in). The decision may involve members of your Soul group, it may involve other Souls that you have or will interact with on the Physical plane of existence, or it could be some other group that may be relevant to your current Life situation at that time. At a conscious physical level, you will not know anything about this, it all happens at Energy levels that are far above that of your conscious physical level.
So what is death? Death is simply a transition from the physical to the Energy level or Spiritual level, depending on your own personal beliefs. There is no real functional difference between a Spiritual level and the Energy level, they are different in name only. It is a transition that may occur instantly (in several milliseconds, or 1000th of a second), or it may last hours or days, depending on what you agreed to prior to this incarnation, and the circumstances of your life. In nearly every situation, you have already chosen the how and (to a degree) the when of your death; you do not know this though, so you have the ability to carry on with your life in as normal a manner as possible. Knowing would cause you anxiety, it could exhibit an emotional response, you may try to change the circumstances from what you agreed, or you may decide to take another with you into death.
I have written before about the process involved in death – the physical mechanics of death that the body will go through, from the shutting down of each organ to the departure of the Souls from the body. But does every Soul have the same journey, or go to the same place? No, not generally. There are a number of different levels that a Soul may exist at; one is the Physical level which is where your conscious self resides. From the Physical realm, Souls go to a transition realm where they have an opportunity to get used to no longer having a Physical presence. A Soul may be here for seconds or centuries, depending on the trauma associated with the transition, their own personal belief structure, and their willingness to accept that they no longer reside in the Physical. The next level is the Spirit realm (also known as the Energy realm); this is where most Souls go to next in their journey. This is the location where they will meet others that they know or admired, and where they can become reacquainted with other Souls. They also have the ability to move about, so they can explore places on Terra that they wanted to visit when they were alive, but did not have the opportunity to. Souls may choose to exist on this level for as long as they desire, but this is not a level where karma can be worked out between any individuals – that is typically done on either the Physical level, or on the next level.
The next level is what most people refer to as “the white light”. It is a level where the “merging” of Souls will occur – your lower Soul from your Physical existence, and your higher Soul (or higher Self), that exists exclusively at this level and above. It is at this level that the introspection of Life occurs – where you begin to examine your Life in detail, to begin to see, understand, and accept the events of your Life, your interactions with others, the consequences of those actions, and the Karmic consequences of your Life. This is also where you will begin to decide if you will return for another Life, and what the terms of that Life (and any subsequent Lives) may include. It is important to know that when you are planning for your next series of Existences, you will only plan in detail your next Life; subsequent Lives are only set out in broad goals, mainly because until your know the consequences of your last Life you will not be able to plan for a subsequent Life. The reason that Life planning occurs at this level is because this is the only level where the integration of other Souls, other Energies, Timelines, and (if needed) other Dimensions may occur.
From the realm of the “white light”, there are two possible choices: first, you may go into the pre-birth transition area, or into the realm of the Soul Energy Cloud of the Universe you are of (or in). The pre-birth transition area is the place where you begin to prepare your new body – you begin by selecting the physical attributes that you selected in your Life planning; you then begin to ensure that any memories or abilities are incorporated in the existence of the new Physical being; you begin interacting with those Souls that you have selected as Parents; and you prepare yourself for the birth process.
When one goes to a higher Energy realm instead, you will enter the realm of the Souls of the Energy cloud of the Universe. There are many different reasons that one may Enter this realm, but it is generally relatively rare to do so.
There are a few other options that do exist. One is you go directly into another Universe, the Universe from which your Soul Energies originated from. This had been somewhat of a rare occurrence, but has become slightly more common as Terra begins to approach her transition point to a higher Energy realm, and beings from other locations come to help with the process.
Death is nothing to be feared; it is inescapable, and while it seems that it is shrouded in mystery, there is much about death and the death process that is known, if you are willing to look for the information.
