Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death – Part 1

An Absolutely Natural, Complete and Profoundly Fulfilling Existence

These vast, and often inconceivable worlds are filled with absolute thrills and marvels many of which, especially on the higher planes are very hard to describe, in fact are too beautiful to describe. The planes or spheres of existence closest to Earth tend to be the easiest to describe in terms the average person can comprehend. But there is much activity and amazing civilizations on all spheres, on all levels. There are beautiful cities, towns, villages, art colonies, art galleries, movie theaters, stages, operas, museums, schools, stores (not commercial), libraries, vast natural landscapes, continents, forests, gardens, huge flowers, very tame loving animals, mountains, meadows, plains, seas, boats, ships, yachts, lakes, waterfalls, and anything and everything else really wonderful and good that one can imagine and not imagine. (God I wish I could go there, take some photos, come back and upload them to this website!)

Regarding what it is exactly like to live in the higher spheres: imagine all the above but with an extra dimension or dimensions added, with even more colors along with even higher and deeper levels of sensitivity, sophistication, beauty, love, opportunity, and levels of consciousness with the absolute beauties of nature multiplied hundreds and hundreds of times over evolving on to infinity. No mystic teaching or religion can or has correctly foretold the actual experiences we will all one day so intensely enjoy! God knows how much I have distorted it in my own feeble attempts to describe it. Trying to explain this form of existence is even harder than trying to talk about colors with a blind person, because there are so many new levels of experience that these souls are trying to convey that simply do not exist in the limited materialistic terms and concepts that we on Earth are stuck with. Many of the souls would never want to go back to live on Earth which is in comparison to heaven, a very limited, elementary, primitive state of life indeed.

The Colors Are Far More Vivid, Extensive and Varied

In the astral worlds the souls often marvel at all the new colors they can see! They say they can perceive and enjoy many new colors in nature that go far beyond the physical spectrum and some souls have counted as many as 77 colors. I am assuming that this phenomenon of advanced and extended color perception is due to a remarkable extension of visual sensitivity beyond violet into much higher frequencies of light such as UV, X-rays, and gamma rays and perhaps even into the lower wave-lengths beyond the red spectrum as well such as infrared and microwaves, etc. but I am even less sure of this, as I would suppose perception is much more likely extended only toward the higher end of the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the lower end, as souls often say they are much more aware of higher vibrations rather than lower ones.

Eating and Sleeping in the Afterlife

One man, Sid Hopkins, in a rather humorous account of the afterlife, said his first experience right after dying was finding himself comfortably sitting in a parlor of a lovely, familiar place being served with a cup of tea by his wife who had died 15 years ago, yet looked like she was in her early twenties. At least two other times in the seances, a certain individual was welcomed to his new life with either a beautiful young woman or one’s very lovely wife wearing a beautiful outfit serving tea! And in yet another seance it was a lovely woman serving a glass of lemonade from a freshly squeezed lemon!

Yes, new arrivals to the spiritual life are often warmly welcomed with food and/or beverages by deceased relatives and/or friends looking many years younger and in a posh setting. One would often “live” on a light diet or fruit, soups and/or teas, etc. before realizing that eating and drinking is no longer really needed or necessary and is just a condition of mental habit however strong and real it may seem at first. Instead of possibly starving or feeling hungry, one should continue to eat a little at first anyway until one no longer feels the need. Many souls even after years of astral life still on social occasions like to eat and serve light snacks, beverages and fruit. I have not yet heard of heavier foods such as meat and/or fish being served, but if they could imagine it, I suppose they could.

There are periods of twilight and restfulness that souls enjoy but no actual night or darkness except in the lower spheres. Those who first enter the afterlife often go through a deep, rejuvenating sleep lasting for several days, depending on the need and development of the individual. After that deep rest, one never really sleeps again except after many, many years later in preparation to enter into yet a higher sphere at the end of their interests and activities in a lower sphere. They can and often do come back into lower spheres to teach and share spiritual truths.

Afterlife Interests, Skills and Hobbies

Amazingly, after one has passed away, one can continue many interests, hobbies, etc. such as gardening, reading and needlework and pursue others that one was not able to on Earth. Rose Hawkins, one of the spirits who communicated through Leslie Flint, was fairly illiterate on Earth but learned to read much better in the afterlife! If a frustrated musician on Earth had not much time to learn how to play a musical instrument such as a piano or guitar or a frustrated artist to paint landscapes and/or portraits, or a gardener who never had a garden on Earth, or a woodsman who would love to cut trees to make furniture, do carving, etc; well these people and those in many other fields of activity would all find excellent opportunities to fully express their talents in the astral worlds.

Spirits often say they are extremely busy with a very definite sense of deep meaning and purpose. Other skills and talents often encouraged in the astral life include teaching, singing, dancing, playwriting and acting. I am also quite sure there are all kinds of sports, games, etc. too, especially for children such as dominos enjoyed by 5-year-old Bobby Tracy. In this most funny and remarkable (full of surprises) account of the afterlife, he said his drawing ability and perspective improved quite a bit since he died. Imagine golfing or playing crochet, football, cricket, or any other such game on an astral plane! There is also horse riding, hiking, cycling, boating and rafting etc. through beautiful natural parks. If one’s more serious occupation or interest is in a creative, scientific, botanical, zoological, anthropological, historical, clerical, medical, (bio)chemical, psychological, spiritual or instructional field of endeavor, one can continue one’s profession quite naturally in the afterlife and expand it to entirely new, much less materialistic levels of service.

One can still use one’s own hands to create things such as clothing, curtains, decorations, musical instruments, furniture, houses, buildings, etc. from natural materials some of which are entirely different from those of Earth. Most of the souls say, except on the highest vibrational spheres, one can’t just think about it and then it’s there, there is a certain process to it and one must make at least some effort of some sort to create something. However work is a joy and never tedious because one rarely feels tired, bored or inept. One can learn any new skill quickly and easily as there are far fewer physical and mental limitations like those endured on Earth. Interestingly enough, one of the spirits who came through Leslie Flint (Rose Hawkins) said that she would spend her time knitting, reading and going to town to watch movies with friends. She said she even went to get her hair cut! (Would that mean that there are astral hair salons?)

There are huge libraries filled with duplicates of every worthy and interesting book or magazine or film imaginable both written on Earth and in the astral. One spirit who never learned how to read on Earth, actually took the trouble to learn how to read in the afterlife so that she could properly enjoy all those books! Even though it is possible in the afterlife for one to get information from any book or object just by touching it, it is still advisable to know how to read and write, such subjects, along with geography, science, and history are taught in many schools throughout the afterlife. Also, however, there are many, many more non-materialistic subjects taught in astral schools and universities of mainly a psychic and spiritual nature. Many classes are taught by teachers and masters from higher spheres using thought forms and thought images.

Natural Realities Molded by Thought

There may very well be certain forms of trade and/or barter in the various conditions of life, cultures, etc. found on some of the lower spheres, but I have yet to hear of anything to do with the actual existence of money, accounting systems, or banking, etc. An economic system is not at all needed on the astral planes because one’s character, thoughts, karmic conditions, powerful innate creative abilities, and mental/emotional outlook seem to create and/or attract whatever is needed. One’s desires, level of intelligence, mental/emotional outlook, and heartfelt motives determine exactly what one does, experiences and gets to have in the way of companions, housing, land, personal items, and clothing (which often resembles Roman togas and/or Grecian robes, etc.) The astral worlds seem to be a dynamic mixture of completely real, natural, material, objective realities yet strongly influenced or molded by creative, positive thought forces or intentions. This is how everything natural in the way it was experienced on Earth is uniformly combined with the most perfect circumstances and joy and happiness possible. It is quite remarkable.

All souls ultimately evolve into ever more beautiful states of existence. The spirits often say it is a perfect world and they have never, ever been happier and to never fear dying because dying is absolutely the best thing that had ever happened to them! They are quite content and are often bewildered when told that there will always be even more beautiful, even lovelier, higher places or spheres they can evolve and move into.
