LIGHTWORKERS AND THE AFTERLIFE

I feel like I’m getting ahead of myself here with this month’s column.  I’m taking a side step, if you will.  However, I think it’s a very important side step and I wanted to include it at this time.  October 24th marks one year that one of my closest friends, Paul, passed away after a long, hard battle with cancer.  Over six years before that date, when he sat me down in Montebello Park one May afternoon and shared with me he was in the last stages of an incurable form of cancer, I felt he had chosen me to help him through this.  He had chosen me to help him die.  He didn’t believe in life after death, or at the very most questioned it.  But at some level, he knew I did.  None of us had any idea how hard and how long this journey was going to be, although I wouldn’t have turned down the opportunity even if I knew what I was about to commit myself to; even if I knew ahead of time what it entailed.  The learning and growing experience was unparalleled.

-------------------------

While the general public collectively holds a wide variety of beliefs about death and what happens afterwards, lightworkers can also have their own, personal set of beliefs.  There is no set rule on what to believe and what not to believe simply because none of us truly know completely for a fact what happens after we die.  What we do have to give us glimpses and impressions is our intuition.  We always have our intuition.

The lightworker’s world is mainly focused on light and energy, dictated by thoughts and feelings.  Most challenges are addressed and solutions are decided upon based on energy.  The main belief is that we are all made of energy.  Everything is made of energy.  Everything has its own level of vibration as energy.  So, if we are in fact made of energy, vibrating at a specific range, and it is known that energy has no ending but continues on, then we can trust that we have no end.  We simply discard a body that is, for one reason or another, worn out and finished.

Someone asked me once what I felt about dying, if I was afraid of dying.  My answer to them was very simple but hard for some to grasp, “I don’t believe in death.”

As a young girl, as far back as I can remember, I was always confronted with the concept of death.  I have vivid memories of having to say my bedtime prayers as many children did. “Now I lay me down to sleep.  I pray the Lord my soul to keep.  If I should die before I wake…..”  I’m sure this last line affected many children but as I lie there, night after night in asthmatic attack and fighting for each breath, wondering if I fell asleep and stopped fighting would I just stop breathing, it certainly provided lots of opportunity for me to imagine what it was like on the other side; and if there was another side.

Many lightworkers feel a strong connection to the spirit world.  They instinctively have always known life after death existed.  Its part of the bag of tools we allow ourselves to bring into this lifetime.  Many of us expand on this inner knowing.  Many choose not to.

For me, I feel I had chosen to bring this inner knowing into my conscious life in a gradual way.  It started in childhood. I had always “sensed” that I was never alone in a room.  I had always “sensed” as we drove past or went into certain houses that someone special lived in them and held very strong feelings, usually negative feelings. I had always “sensed” someone outside the window looking in, causing me to keep the curtains closed at night until I was 17 years old.

I’ve come to learn much about the afterlife in the last couple of years and trust me I could go on and on here about it.  Understanding the spirit world has become quite a lifetime focus for me.  As a lightworker, with that natural urge to pass on enlightenment, there is a list of basic but very important pieces of insight I’m passionate to share with you.

We have all been, at one point or another, “ghosts”.
As humans being, the first thing we are most likely to, and encouraged to, do is fear ghosts.
The worst thing we can do is fear them.
Your loved ones in spirit are there for you whenever you need them; you can call on them with your focused thoughts and your positive feelings for them.
People who have unfinished business upon their time of passing, often will stay earthbound until this business is completed.
Some spirits are lost; some don’t know they have passed.
If they have not crossed over yet, they are what they were in life, both in personality and belief system.
It is very possible that a loved one that has passed is now one of your spirit guides.
You have many spirit guides, all with different roles.
Spirits communicate with you all the time, in many different ways; you just need to open up and learn how they are communicating with you.  They have messages for you.
Some spirits / energies can manipulate your thoughts and most importantly your feelings, and want to, so it’s important to always know what you yourself are feeling and thinking.
Love will strengthen spirits of the light.
Fear will strengthen the darker, less evolved energies.  Positive emotions will weaken them.
Fear is really their only weapon; your fear.
How we can all help those on the other side find peace is find forgiveness – for them and for ourselves.
Knowledge reduces fear greatly.
There are just as many options, opportunities and rules on the other side than there are on earth.

Before Paul passed away, he and I talked about when it was his time to pass over, if he would come back and make communication with me and help me in the next part of my journey as I knew it was going to be quite challenging.  In this last year, there have been several indications that he comes and goes with purpose and strength, leaving behind little signs for me to take notice of.  He’s quite creative in his communicating, from using wildlife and my pet cat to leaving behind familiar smells.  He makes me giggle as he would giggle is life.  His mother and I connect periodically and share our experiences of assistance we regularly have with her son in spirit.  She and I are also helping each other in case there is unfinished business that is holding all three of us back. 

How does this sound to you?  Bizarre?  Crazy?  Does it resonate as true?  Let your intuition tell you what to believe.  This is how I travel.

If you could take something so vast and complex as the spirit world (and I didn’t even touch on the fact that there are levels…..yep, levels) and sum it up with one common element, it would be emotions.  Secondarily, and close behind, would be thoughts.  So much of our world and the other side are run by our emotions, both individually and collectively.  We have a continuum of emotions that guide us down our path and create our own reality, and most of us our doing it blindly!  This too, includes our relationship with the other side.  We work in partnership.

Love and Light, my friends.
