Common Questions About The Afterlife

[Spirit Guide Sparrow]

Dear Justin,

As long as you continue to ask, I shall continue to encourage life, courage, and persistence.
Why is that? Because that is the being that I am. This is the value and virtue that I see. Should you falter in your wisdom or fail within your faith; should you despair in your day or lose hope within darkness, I shall not, nor grant you not a doubt in your own capacity to endure, to aspire and to overcome. Where there is darkness there must be light. I can be that light, but you must carry the torch.

There are no wrong choices, only those created through love or through fear; those created to move towards something, and those to escape something. Despite your affections for the paradise I paint upon your imagination and your longing for the communion with spirit, your intention is above all to escape. It is to escape one set of conditions in hope for another. It is through fear that darkness diminishes the light of your perception of value which you hold over your life, and it is through fear you wish to escape the confines of your human condition. This fear is a natural emotion; it is neither evidence of weakness nor justification for judgment. It is simply an energy process which acts to push away and close doors of opportunity. It is what it is. Though you will be swift to respond initially that you do not fear, but it is the future you perceive for yourself in your mind that illuminates this to me. Should you not have such a difficult time of it within your current circumstance, you in your thirst for life would otherwise embrace life to the full despite my painted paradise of unseen worlds. You would be content to make a go of it; to bring something of spirit value into the bosom of physical expression.

You look upon me perhaps as a facilitator to aid in your escape of such conditions. As if you wish to call upon an angel to shed your shackles and burdens of life. As if by grace of another you would be set free from your own affliction of mind and body. Yet this is your journey, nobody else’s. You and you alone must hold responsibility for it, and for the value you hold over it. Not one in the spirit world will wish of you to cut short your physical journey, despite such conditions not becoming of your greatest and grandest vision of yourself. My point is, it is for you to create the greatest and grandest vision of yourself within any and all circumstance, for this is a testimony to your true character, testimony of your true value and worth as a statement of who you truly are in relationship to humanity. Must one be so aloft and eager to be a spirit that they would disrobe themselves from their imperfect human nature. Is not the will of spirit to bond with human nature, in all its flaws, failings and frustrations. Be the nature of human condition so ugly, so intolerable that it must be discarded as an unwanted rag. Be there no sanctity or sacredness in all aspects, in all facets and designs of human experience. Be there no reason to live, that one must seek so soon to die. Be there no grace left in the dance of life, or no chapter further to inspire those who follow. Be whatever your choice, choose wisely, and always, in all ways, choose through love, not through fear.

Dear Justin,
I have often thought very deeply about these things. I have felt for the main part -only half alive in some ways, and yearning for a state where I will feel wholly alive. Yet I also sense that to leave this physical world I will be stepping into a great mystery in a sense. No matter what wisdom from others I hear and deeply appreciate -I do not know exactly and precisely what will await me. I attune as best I can to the deepest examples of what I hold dear and true in my Soul, and as far as I can see in my present short-sightedness -my Spirit.
I know that while here I am looking through a glass darkly, and when that is removed I shall see more clearly. And I sense I will be more alive.
I have suffered, though not as painfully as you I am sure...and do continue to have certain sufferings. Yet in the middle of the darkest times, suddenly something happens! It happens every time. Something comes to show me (I am best to put this in very simple terms, as I can only respond instinctively) -"yes, it's fine, keep going, this is the right way".
I was thinking today ....Why when the most great suffering came to me that was the most agonizing and heart-rending, and I felt my spirit call to me "come home!"....didn't I just go up a high mountain where it was very cold, and lie down, and wait for sweet sleep to come? And then the new life, the new world of spirit where I could shine, be free, find home....why didn't I do it? Perhaps I should have chosen to? I don't know....instinct made me keep going in this world, just instinct....I don't know enough, and it's hard to explain. But some instinct held me back from that choice.

For physical pain there are painkillers, if the pain is excruciating there is Diamorphine...but for Soul pain, there is only Hope and Love. I honestly have found those two things to show me in a very living and real sense that "all is well." No matter what is happening. Even when I have been hardly able to move with strong physical pain, or even aching in the Soul. That sense of "all is well" was so all-pervading and so intensely real, it hardly mattered what plane I was on....

I send you my heartfelt kind thoughts, Justin. Though I don't really know you, I have a lot of empathy for what you must be going through. My blessings from my heart for you.

Dear Sparrow,

After reading your post, initially, I got a chill and was in somewhat of a state of shock, I believe as my energy responded to this bold assertion of perspective. This is just the kind of answer I finally needed to hear. It stimulated me to contemplate everything for two days, and I as I wavered back and forth between two poles of my mind, eventually, I started to rediscover my deep-held value for this life. I began to once again see my soul as a paintbrush that works it's magic on this canvas called Earth. It's hard to put into words why and how my thoughts changed, but I think you and others here will understand. Thank you again. It seems this last post may have been unpleasant for you to write, and I sympathize. I appreciate your doing that for me.

Tobi, thank you for your support as well.

Robin, I'm sorry that I don't feel comfortable trying to explain it all to you, but I appreciate your inquiry as well.

Peace,
Justin

You know, I think it is a fearless soul that wants to come and live a human life......often times it can seem pointless and frustrating and painful living on this planet....we came for a reason, and just having the gift of knowing of the Divine gives us all such strength to carry on with this living and learning, until we go home and tell all of our amazing experience in this human form...what a ride it was again, just as before.....wow wow wow!....and then we will have more deeper knowing of what love truly is....
but...until then.....living and experiencing what it is we came for, is what we are meant to be doing, and finding beautiful spirits in human form such as sparrow, help us along the way......there are no coincidences all is as it should be.......many blessings xo
