We may think that we are humans primarily after which we go to heaven or hell depending on our actions on earth but the truth is we are spirits having a human experience. We were spirits or souls before the earth or universe or cosmos were created. We existed in paradise with our Creator but we were not perfect nor did we have chance to grow or evolve to spiritually ascend to be closer to God. To do this we had to experience challenges to learn to rise above them and choose good and righteousness in the face of adversity. To do so we had to take human form on earth and take on different challenges with each lifetime. With each life we experience on earth we also experience a broader range of human emotions including love and finding our way through the muddle of earthly challenges back to love is to find our way back to God within each life. It is not always as simple as it may seem because everyone bears the mental, physical and emotional brunt of this harsh world in some form or the other which we carry throughout our lives. To forgive those who have betrayed us or hurt us in some way or the other will help us move closer to God on a spiritual level. To forgive others is not so much for the other person as it is for ourselves, for our personal healing. Regardless of what we have accomplished in this lifetime it is always seen as successful in the eyes of God simply due to the fact that we put ourselves on this planet with its harsh environment and spectrum of negativity to evolve to be closer to Him. God ackonowledges this and we are welcomed back with open arms.
The Other Side is said to be created as a mirror image of Earth superimposed upon it within a higher dimension. It it said to contain all the geographical features of the earth in its original, pristine and unpolluted form. This also includes the lost or sunken continents. The Other side is not within the constraints of time, space or the laws of physics and neither are those souls who reside there. People on the other side are capable of bi-location, astral projection, levitation, teleportation, telepathy and a host of other abilities that humans find a rare opportunity to experience. All animals that have died on earth are well and thriving on the Other side and each within their natural habitat....the laws of space do not apply to this realm so there is an infinity of space to accomadate an infinite supply of souls without cramping or overcrowding. It is a hard concept for our limited human minds to process a world that cannot be defined by our own but it is true. On the Other side there is no negativity, no hate, no racism, no judgemental persons, no fear, no worry, no violence or terror, no ego, no jealousy, no pride. We exist there in the complete euphoric bliss of our Creator. And while some may think after this life on earth we are retired from work we are not. When we cross over and recover from our harsh life on earth we seek to help those who are still stuck on earth whether it be a family member, friend, neighbour, or the scientist trying to find a cure for cancer or some other incurable disease. You might think "But don't I have to have some knowledge of medicine or expertise in science to be of assistance?" The answer is no because unlike on earth, our spirit minds are working at 100% efficiency and we have total recall of all of our past life memories to access from. So if we were a doctor or scientist in one of our past lives then we would use those resources to help. Now you might be thinking "What if I never was a doctor or in the medical profession? How would I still help?" That is because unlike on earth we also have access to a grand Library of seemingly infinite information on a host of wide and unimainable topics and issues. This library is called the Akashic Records...ring a bell? Most people have heard of this at least once in their lives...and if you were not among them before, well now you are. Here we can do research on topics that we feel strongly about and seek to help those on earth in any way we can without interfering with their earthly destiny. I used medicine as merely an example but you can help the earth and humans in any area that you are passionate about like the arts or theatre or music or painting or teaching or saving lives or psychic phenomenon....the list goes on but you get my point. Life is like one big test.....the higher you score the more evolved you become. We have to take human form many times before we can truly evolve closer to God but know that every step you take, every challenge you face, every obstacle in your way is placed there because you are capable of overcoming it....the phrase "God will not give to you what you cannot handle" rings true here. So please do not lose heart over the obstacles you face because you had the courage to come down to earth to face them head on to strive to be closer to your Creator and for that we should all feel a sense of pride and be reassured knowing that when our time comes we will be welcomed gloriously back into His arms and the Other side.
