Day 285 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - The Person Who Dies in Grief...
/Lesson 285: The Person Who Dies in Grief...
Today we are to think about what happens to us when we die. It’s that unknown that we don’t really have the real answer to, isn’t it?
I was raised Catholic and was totally in the belief that there was a heaven and a hell. I used to think that heaven was above us and hell was below us. Good people went to heaven and bad people went to hell. How that differentiation was determined, I wasn’t sure. I was under the belief that I would go to heaven – you’d have to do something really bad to go to hell right? I believed in one God and the Devil. The Devil punished and God would allow you through the gates of heaven if you didn’t do anything too evil.
Then came a time when I didn’t believe in my religion at all. I relinquished my belief towards whatever I was taught in that religion. I don’t know when this started, but I developed a fear of what would happen to me when I died. I wasn’t afraid of dying itself, though I was afraid of the other side. Thoughts that cycled through my head included would I be alone when I died? Would I just go into an infinite black space? Do we cease to exist? Is the other side filled with ghosts and ghouls? I just didn’t know what to believe because I had lost the faith I used to have in my religion. There wasn’t a definite answer and therefore I didn’t know what to believe. Because no one really knows what happens to us, I just didn’t know what to think.
Now is a different story. I believe in the other side based on my own spiritual awakening. I communicate with loved ones crossed over, I have guides that talk to me when I want to connect and I’ve been shown that I’m not of this world. I know the Universe is vast and holds multiple dimensions and planes. These other realms are not separate from us – it’s all interconnected. It’s just that we are here on Earth and when we are ready, move onto the next life. What that next life is, I can’t say for sure because there are so many dimensions that exist, that our energy or essence will go forth into the next one. That’s what I believe. I have so much faith that there is more to us than just this life. It’s definitely a faith in the unknown and I embrace that more than ever. And if people welcome my beliefs on it, I’m willing to share. That’s the beauty of us humans, there is so much learning to gain from others and build your own outlook.
So that’s my journey through my belief of what happens to us when we die, what’s your belief?
