The worlds above and passing those ‘levels’

The plural is used deliberately, heaven has several layers. And they are known by various names, like Summer land and lakes of blood and tears. There even is a ‘high counsel’ and many forms of helpers who welcome and assist us in our transition from a solid body form with soul to the spirit form.

I rather do not speak about the world of the death, because that would implicate that we are alive and the deceased are not. In my experience this live on planet earth is not the real one, but the one above truly is.
That is the place where an incarnation plan is prepared, partly by ourselves and partly by the spirit helpers. They are in direct contact with our creator, the one who has many names and listens to all but still is the one. We prepare a strategy, depending on what lessons need to be learned.

Like in your previous life you had a hard time accepting help from others, though you would have been much better off with some help. Part of the plan can be to incarnate as an invalid, so there is no question shall or won’t I accept help, now you must ask for help and accept it. Accept your limitations with a body that is functioning limited in order to achieve more and be better off.

The country you will be born in, the parents through which you will be born, the financial, economical, emotional circumstances are all counted for. Even our gender. Everything happens for a reason!
Maybe you wanted to come back as a male but the wise above choose differently and you were born as a girl. You can sense the deep urge of being born ‘in the wrong body’, but that is not the case. You need this lifetime experience as a woman to learn and evolve.

Yes, your personal development plan, like the one for your appraisal. Very similar, but with far greater consequences.
And then the parents are chosen and the incarnation of the soul into the premature body is mostly between 3 and 9 month pregnancy. This makes you wonder about miscarriage or premature birth… There you are (again), born and incarnated. Often with no clue whatsoever what to do. What is to be expected from us? What do we need to experience? What should we develop? God is our director of the play and we are the actors. We all got our assigned roles, but weren’t given the role description. Let’s find out. Don't be afraid, try, fall, stand up, notice, reflect, remember & learn. Make mistakes – but try to make a mistake only once. Better to make your own faults then don’t dare to do anything because you are afraid of the consequences. And we make mistakes, hundreds of them! All of us. What is the worst thing that can happen to you?

The more we learn from our behavior and the outcome, the more we grow. That is why we live our current lives. To grow, become a better person. The less you learn, the harder you will get it in your next live. Over and over again. See the possibilities and dare to take your chances! When one door shuts, others will open. Notice and be grateful for the opportunities. Live your live to the fullest. Do not try to live up to the expectations of others, but live life according your own standards! Above all, you are the one who must know best what is best for you J  

And then we come to the end of our lives. It is decided that it is time. Our body dies and our soul rises. It depends on the circumstances where we go.

Is your lives ending to be expected – old age, severe illness and no major issues to be solved – we are usually in peace with our ending. We understand the process and know we passed away. That our body is gone. Is our death unexpected or in strange circumstances, we have difficulty in understanding the concept of death. We think we are very much alive! Like when one dies in an accident, or one is killed by sudden forth of nature. We see our body in a still live situation, but our soul feels, thinks and remembers, so it is hard to comprehend. Why do the people not see or hear me?! “Hello, I am here! Look over here!” No response.

When we pass away, we are expected in the world above. They know it's our time. Hands are reached out. Usually hands of beloved ones who did go before us, like our grandparents. “Come, take my hand and I'll bring you to a beautiful place”.

If you ignore the helping hands and light above you, you can remain trapped between earth and heaven, some call it the twilight zone. Spirits 'hover' around us, taking our energy in order to give their soul an earthly like appearance. Or they need our energy to get things physically done, like moving an object. People who are sensitive may notice them, they are like a lighthouse to these spirits. The ignorant ones are afraid of those ghosts and lose their energy easily. A sensitive trained person can offer help to these spirits and guide them to their rightful place in the world above. The helper even can make contact with beloved ones still earth bounded if there are things that need to be said or done. It can be a reassurance to our friends or family.

In the western world it takes approximately 5 days before the body is buried or cremated. If our soul wishes to, he or she can watch our earthly movements, the funeral preparations and finally the burning of our body/ burring our body in the soil. It doesn't matter to which level our soul rose after 'death', it can always peak down here. This burial process helps our soul to close  a chapter in our books of lives. It is time to move on. Now our 'life' really begins, how strange that may sound.

We may passed away in great pain or sorrow. We rise to a place where help is all around us. It's an earthly like appearance, it looks like home. Hospitals, psychiatrists, priests. Spirits who lived their live on earth in service of others can take up that role again in the spirit world. They help the wounded souls to recover and guide the sad ones with love and patience. Until they are ready to move on.

In the highest level we remain an average of 70 earth like years. Can be much longer, can be much shorter. We know of souls who incarnated within days, for example when a beloved one is pregnant and they want to be reborn in the same family or circumstances. The last example is not a good thing. There was no time at all for reflection of our previous life. And no time for a well thought plan. And certainly not with the approval of the wise ones.

And last but not least, when we pass away, we not only see and reflect. We FEEL what we have done. We FEEL what we said. When we willingly hurt somebody, emotionally or physically, the effect that that gave to a person comes around several times harder! We feel that hurt much deeper, we get the grieve and pain much stronger. That is a true lesson. If awful things happen, we can be disappointed in our legal system. There may be no justice at all. But trust this, there is justice up above. No escaping there!

There are people doubting the existence of god. “If there really is a god, why doesn't he intervene in a situation so and so on?!” Why do people die in wars? By the hand of a human fellow being? Starvation of hunger? A baby dying with cancer. WHY? We don't have the answers. But rest assure there are reasons. The creator gave us a mind of our own. That distinct us from the animal world. With our mind we make our own decisions. Right or wrong. All lessons, for the ones who pass away and for the ones who remain behind.

 

This life is where we experiment. We can pray, ask for guidance and even help. But still we have to do it ourselves. With a little help from above.
