"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." - Galileo Galilei
Many people ask me the same question; ‘what happens when we die?’ and I always give the same answer; ‘I honestly don’t know because I haven’t died yet.’ However, I have been informed in the past through –what I believe to be – spirit communication, that the ‘death’ of the human body is only the beginning of a long, fascinating and wonderful journey through different experiences and levels of perception.
Remember, this is only my interpretation and beliefs, formed through years of genuinely believing I’ve been working with spirit. Other spiritualists and mediums may have different views, but there you go.
THE 3 STAGES
Stage one: Rebirth.
This is seemingly the beginning of the journey, when the ‘newborn’ soul is nurtured by loved ones who have already passed over. Some of these souls who help could have been there for years and may even be unknown to the recent arrival but I’ve been told they shower them with love and compassion to make the transition easier. Just imagine how bizarre all this must be to a non believer who has recently arrived in spirit! I’ve been informed that all fear is gone as the person leaves the physical ‘shell’ of a body behind.
Stage two: Recuperation.
To be honest with you, this seems quite a vague and difficult stage for me to decipher from spirit, but I’ve been led to believe the person who has arrived is led to rest and recuperate for an undetermined amount of time– Now, sceptics and cynics will scoff at the thought of a spiritual entity, who doesn’t possess a physical body, recuperating – but this is the same as being emotionally exhausted!
Sometimes the recently deceased do occasionally contact us through mediums during this stage, but I personally have found it’s usually too early for a large percentage of the spiritual population to come through. I think it’s better for us to wait a year or so at least before any possibility of communication.
Stage three: Young again.
This seems a wonderfully enlightening time for them that seems to last for many years, when they give messages of happiness and contentment to those they’ve left behind. Although I’d rather not have this so called ‘gift’ I have always felt humbled to be able to serve spirit, but to see a somebody’s loved one who may have suffered before their passing come through looking radiant, youthful and ecstatic with happiness is an incredible honour that I never take for granted, and when I personally pass from this world I’ll feel confident knowing that there is absolutely nothing sinister or dark about our transition to spirit.
‘Why won’t they come through?’
People also ask me why some spiritual loved ones don’t communicate while others seem to come through clearly and regularly. I have to say I honestly don’t know why this happens, but I do know it has absolutely nothing to do with their love for us.
On a personal note, my own mother who has passed to spirit a couple of years ago has never managed to come through to me. So, although it’s heartbreaking for us when we hear nothing, I believe we just have to accept that this is the way it is and we simply have to face the rest of this relatively short physical journey without them and embrace every wee moment we have ahead. Because, believe me I am sure we will be reunited.
