Interpretations

This is the exact conclusion I reached too, and that he saw the light immediately.

I believe this relates to your statement that people see what they want to see at the moment of death, and I would add what people expect to see too. Steve Jobs appeared to me as a pioneer, a visionary, someone who had a zest for life, and I think that’s why his moment of death was as it was. I heard a hospice nurse refer to one particular patient death. She said the dying lady looked incredibly happy, peaceful, and content, in a way she'd never seen. She questioned the dying lady, and she replied with 100% certainly that finally she is going home, and couldn't wait. On the other hand, the Mexican Mafia boss probably didn’t have a zest for life, but lived in abject fear of it, fear of poverty, fear of powerlessness, and so on. He has my sympathies in a way, because he probably never truly lived. To truly live is to be without fear. My interpretation is that his life was a spiritual void, and that when he died, his consciousness obviously continued, but he found himself in a void. I imagine a light appeared, and that he had the choice and free will to move towards it. Even in this scenario, there is an inherent lesson about fear, trust, and relinquishing control. The learning never stops, not even in the seconds after transition. I imagine his soul had to learn lessons around fear and empathy, which is why he lived the physical life he did. I believe he would have had a profound life review where he experienced in minute detail how all his actions affected everyone, directly and indirectly, and then begun a process of healing and contemplation, assimilating those lessons into his continually evolving soul. Even Hitler would have gone through this process, and I suspect no light surrounded him at the time of death. I suspect no light will surround Putin either. He is driven by fear also. Imagine Putin in the emergency room having just been told he is going to die imminently? I once heard a trance medium say, upon being asked questions about Hitler, that we should send our love and healing to him at all costs. I thought that answer was deeply counter-intuitive to the human ear, yet stunning from a higher, more divine perspective. Talk about Christ consciousness!

I really enjoy your posts Starman. You’re one of the most intriguing forum posters I’ve ever read in my 20 years of reading forums. I find your insights deep and resonant of universal truths, and it upsets me that more people in the world don’t understand life from the same perspective that you, and many others here do. I’d like to share a link to a podcast you and others might enjoy. It’s an hour and 11 minutes long. It’s an interview with a psychic paramedic, and I have watched this three times. I find it mindblowing. She touches on something you said about group deaths, and she describes a time she went to the aftermath of a forest fire which killed many residents. She saw all their souls hanging around, confused, and she intuitively knew what to do. She remarks on souls that might be standing at a car crash, looking at their body, confused, and she communicates telepathically with them. It’s a fascinating interview.

Redchic12, I live in the UK. I live in a village 1 mile from the edge of a very large town. Even here there is never total silence. There is always the sound of human activity, even if it’s just a plane coming in to land at the nearest airport, 60 miles away! I can still hear the rumble in the sky. I always hear the incessant wooshing of tyres on the main highway, a mile from me. I realised recently, that in my 45 years, I’ve never once experienced total silence. When I say silence, I mean from human activity. I cannot find a spot anywhere where sound doesn’t carry from some road, some flight path. In this respect, I’m looking forward to death, just for the total peace.

Bluto, I live in New Mexico and have met Sarah Grace at a talk she gave here. We have a lot of life experiences in common, but I feel like I am just on the cusp of consciously developing psychic abilities. Me working in a hospice is bringing out my latent, deeper, what may be called “psychic abilities.”

In my opinion everyone has these abilities, although they are latent in most people, and in some people, like Native Spirit, who is here on this forum, she was born with those abilities. I do not refer to them as “psychic abilities” rather I see them as spiritual gifts or deeper talents, which in my opinion we all have. For most it is just a matter of developing them, and working with dying people can trigger that growth, as Sarah Grace was explaining about her work as a paramedic which triggered her deeper abilities.

I have had a lot of the experiences which she shared in that YouTube video. The journey which I have traveled in this human life have given me more than I realize, and I am still learning. Along the way many times I strongly rejected my journey, not knowing the gifts it had in store for me down the road.

Bluto, what you have shared in your post resonates with me. The light is there for everyone, it is just a matter of being aware of it. There is no good or bad in this. In my opinion all of us are already home; we can live in the reflections or dwell in the peace of our eternal being, right now before our physical body dies. All that is here on Earth is to challenge us to grow, as Sarah Grace said about her abusive mother, and about “the things which got under her skin,” They pushed her into a deeper existence.

The flight or fight response is definitely in play; human life requires learning how to navigate the currents in this ocean of Maya. For many the waves are too strong and they drown. But some come to realize that the greatest battle is going on inside of us, and they transcend that battle handing it over to spirit in the here and now. The presence of spirit, which I now feel on a daily basis, fights my battles for me.

I also agree with what Sarah Grace was saying about the mainstream medical field. I feel each person should learn about their own physical body, their own mind, emotions, and their spiritual being. Basically “Know Thyself. I have worked with patients who trusted me much more than they trusted themselves and I feel that is sad. I try to empower people to trust the process of life, as well as the process of human death. What I share, most often, does not come from me, rather it comes through me. Silence speaks without words; the important thing for us, in my opinion, is to learn how to listen.

Peace and Good Journey To You
