Is anyone else scared of the afterlife

[Xan]

flow... To channel the light better we need to absorb our attention in inner light. You can call down the light from high above and let it flow down into and all through you. You can breathe light. You can become aware in your own light body. Then giving light is an easy natural way to help others.

As we awaken spiritually and come to know our true self is light, is love, is pure eternal being then fears of death and the process of dying fade away.


Xan

No, I'm not scared.

I think the more you trust yourself, the closer you get to your Higher Self, the more balanced you'll feel. You'll have to learn to let go, which is usually the most uncomfortable of it all.

Be present and enjoy the ride.

[Xan]

Yes... letting go is the key. It's only uncomfortable in the beginning and the more we let go the better it feels.


Xan

Like walking into the ocean(take it literal if you like). You walk, you float, you get tired and struggle and fight, more exhaustion until you can no longer fight it and you let go, you fall then you rise up and up and up. The spirit is released.

What weighted him/her down.

The symbology/messages are everywhere all the time. Mind, body, soul.

I am unafraid of the afterlife as this ‘life‘ is but one of many. My feelings are that we are multidimensional beings. This time on Earth is but a facet of the whole.

I remember a wonderful dream where I was at a ‘garden party’ with my soul family. Guides, family and friends as well as teachers were there. One soul in particular is one I have lived many lives with and a dear soul. I am sitting in a chair with a glass of something cool to drink. I dip out a ice cube and in fun, chunk it at him because he has been teasing me about something.

The reason I relate the dream is that this is what I imagine the afterlife to be. Getting together with my soul family to talk about what this current life on the 3rd rock from the Sun was all about. Compare experiences, laugh, relax and catch up with one another.

I am still deeply involved in this life and in no hurry to move on but I certainly have no fear of leaving the physical body in this life.

As for the white room… Peace, quiet, contentment.

Hugs, hope and blessings.

This is my first post (yippee). I wanted to share an interesting quote (allthough I'm not sure of the "quotee")

"The reason we are born is to die"

This quote gives me comfort as it's just as natural to die as it is to be born, and just looking at mother nature this time of year, after a long winter's sleep, just look at the life blossoming all around us.

Peace, love
Earthy.

Never compromise yourself... you're all you've got

Nice Janis quote in your signature. Yes, never compromise yourself. Nod.
Welcome here earthy.

I understand the point of your quote - however it rubs me wrong.
(The quote, never you.)
Ha! Because it's not true.
That isn't why we were born.
Ah, I love that I know why we were born - and I read delicious expansions on why we were born in poetic, eloquent words all the time.

Why would you personally say is the reason, so we can get to know you.

How wonderful to feel that way about death. :)

Ah, the afterlife - I longed for it for many decades, with excitement.
Now I realize it's all just a continuum. As above, so below..it all continues...
This world is my living room - I hold the remote control.
You may think I'm kidding - 'she's just this person on some forum'.
I wish people here could interview my friends.

There is a quote from some Far Eastern masters I relate to.
If I may...
He hears the calls of that soul which sincerely opens to Him, worshipping within in Spirit and Truth.
The one that makes that connection with the Father in secret will feel the power flowing through him as the fulfillment of every desire.
For he that sees the Father in the secret place of his own soul and there abides, him the Father will reward openly.

Ahh...

Miss Hepburn

I humbly submit this 2012 "thing" is propelling my soul.
Yours, too?

Well, Xan, I feel it is so personal and also for all of us... We that can appreciate what was communicated one evening at 11:35 pm when the atmosphere of the room changed to a static charge, a supernatural "feeling, tingling"...
I was spoken to in complete sentences as I stopped breathing --a Mystical Divine Visitation about 3 years ago now. (Not my first)

A telepathic Voice, my Father, said as the earth seemed to stop revolving...
"This...
This is why you were created (mankind) - this ...is why you were born...
for this...
for this nano-second when a human heart...
cracks opens....

and re-co-g-niz-es ...
Me.

Loves ...Me...." ( feels the awe of Who I am.)


No matter what people think about all is one, all is pure consciousness, all is nothingness, all is neutral awareness .... I agree...but that 'neutral awareness'
wants our love and recognition...is about All Consuming Love.
In a nutshell - there is no intellectualizing about it ---It wants raw open hearts open only to "It". Would psychoslice say that is us or ourselves or our true nature, our higher ego selves - yes...I would agree.

Here:
God is Love. And Love must love. And to love there
must be a Beloved. But since God is Existence infinite
and eternal there is no one for Him to love but Himself.
as the Beloved whom He as the Lover imagines He
loves.
Beloved and Lover implies separation. And separation
creates longing; and longing causes search. And the
wider and the more intense the search the greater the
separation and the more terrible the longing.
When longing is most intense separation is complete,
and the purpose of separation, which was that Love
might experience Itself as Lover and Beloved is fulfilled;
and union follows. And when union is attained, the Lover
knows that he himself was all along the Beloved whom he
loved and desired union with; and that all the impossible
situations that he overcame were obstacles which he
himself had placed in the path to himself.
To attain union is so impossibly difficult because it is
impossible to become what you already are! Union is
nothing other than knowledge of oneself as the Only One.
