Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from spirit to show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Matthew Mc Kay a clinical psychologist and author of his newest book The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife as he shares the channeled journey of his son’s travel across time and space as he shows us what really happens as we transition from a physical life to a spiritual energetic experience.

As Listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years my very intuitive and inspirational guests and I share intimate and illuminating views of life in both the physical and energetic aspects. As we explore the duality of our life force, we come to realize that Consciousness survives physical death and life is eternal as our soul incarnates into different times and places to continue to grow through experience, greater awareness of love, and compassion. Life beyond life, is as real as a physical life in the three- dimensional world, but can be more expansive.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Matthew McKay specifically descries the transition experience of his son Jordan who has channeled to his father the early stages of the afterlife he experienced as he passed from this life to Spirit and shows how death is a realm of imagination and thoughts and intentions creating a luminous landscape entirely of consciousness. This wisdom provides profound relief from the fear of death, as well as exercises to learn how to communicate in spirit. We will discover the unbreakable bond between the living and dead and the love that remains forever.

Matthew tells us in detail what Jordan experienced after collapsing on a doorstep while seeking help and when he first died and how Jordan eventually made contact with his father in dreams.

Matthew writes, “That when his son died he had no idea or belief that the dead could talk to us. At best, they seemed gone in another world, separated by loss and the deafening thunder of our grief. Perhaps even worse, their passing spoke a truth far more dire: that they ceased to exist and that these sweet ephemeral spirits lived only in memory. But then Jordan started speaking to me—at first only in dreams—but then through mediums through a process called induced after death communication and then through the gift of channeled writing he told me he was here with me and could teach me what he knows about the afterlife. Here was a window into the world of spirit, an invitation to listen at the curtain between worlds and a clear awareness that death is neither an end nor even a loss. It is merely the time when we finally remember who we are and where our home is.

About five years into our channeled exchanges, Jordan decided we should write a book. Within a few minutes he had outlined all the chapters and over time he dictated much of what became our first book, Seeking Jordan.

Jordan let his father know that at the moment of death we lose our senses, our nervous system and all that has anchored us to the world. We lose our families and goals in life. We find ourselves in a place where thought creates visions, where a mere idea projects images that can capture and overwhelm us. The physical world is gone, and for a time we may not be able to hear or recognize the spirits that have come to help us. The love we feel for our soul group and guides may be masked from us. In this confusion, souls struggle to get their bearings. Some don’t yet recognize that they are dead. Some are so attached to the people and things of their past that they cling to the physical plane. Some are filled with emotions—fear anger grief shame greed that obscure the life of spirit. Some souls expect an afterlife that doesn’t exist, a picture of heaven painted from pulpits and religious training that actually prevents them from seeing what’s really there. Some souls expect nothing, an extinction of consciousness and can’t understand why they are still thinking and aware outside of their bodies.

Jordan goes on to tell us the time immediately after death is disorienting. This is because a soul who has newly crossed over is still an amnesiac. They don’t yet know what they know. How we communicate and navigate in spirit has been forgotten. How to focus our energy in spirit has temporarily been lost. For example, we see in all directions. We move by intentions rather than physically walking. We hear telepathically rather than listening to sound and words. We connect through the medium of love rather than touching or holding or conversing.

Death cannot be understood unless the purpose of life is also recognized. We are not here to be redeemed, proven worthy or to earn a high station in heaven. We are here Jordan says, to love and to learn. Death merely facilitates moving from the physical dimensions into the world of spirit. Our life as a soul has the same goals—here and in the afterlife—to evolve and to grow.

Sheryl shares with Matthew that as a medium, practicing for the last 25 years, she always tells her clients the same thing: that we will continue to learn and love beyond this physical life, and live in Spirit similar to the way we create and manifest our life on earth by our thoughts and actions or intentions. It is like the Law of Attraction that what we focus our time and energy on manifests.

Sheryl goes on to share what happened to her sister Rodelle who passed from pancreatic cancer and was given morphine before her passing and though our father was calling her to come forward, she was confused for perhaps the medicine made her passing more difficult.

As a medium Sheryl did a reading hoping to connect to her energy months after she passed and shared it in her new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided insights to Support Global Awakening. Here is what Sheryl wrote “When I interviewed Annie, I had no idea that before long, my sister Rodelle would pass. As a medium, I received thoughtful, creative, validating messages for my clients. I assumed that was the way Spirit intended for me to use the gift of spiritual communication. However, I was told years ago that I could ask to speak to any soul energy, anywhere, alive or in spirit. I never tried to contact my own family members, as I felt that should they need to reach me, they would. Eight months after Rodelle’s passing, I decided to meditate and try to check in to see how she was relating to her new world. Unlike Billy, who reached out to his sister Annie, I reached out to mine in spirit. Usually when I do a reading, I simply write down whatever is presented to me. It seems the information is usually perfectly tailored to what my client needs at the moment. With Rodelle, however, I decided to ask her questions. When she was ill, I tried so hard to show her that she was in for an amazing journey into forever and beyond, which was something Rodelle was not able to believe in. I already knew that there is no death, for our true-life essence, or soul, survives physical death. Sadly, she did not.

I soon felt her energy around me and sensed she was surrounded in a blanket of green glory and quietness, but her heart still hurt. She had not wanted to depart, as her love of life was quite palpable and her fight to stay alive was most courageous. I was aware that she was being cared for by souls and spiritual teachers that attended to her and her soul energy in the process of refreshing itself after her long, challenging illness and the sorrow of many personal disappointments in her past life.

Healing of the soul is necessary before creating a new life in spirit filled with the effervescence and joy that many of us know or try to remember from our childhood of hope and possibility for love and friendship. My sister would fully heal with the help of the divine, as she was always one to try her best no matter what the challenge was. I asked her who was there to meet her. Immediately I began to feel a pressure, a tightening on my head, as perhaps the drugs she was given before passing confused her. She was frightened. Our dad was calling to her to move forward.

Rodelle soon saw the head of the Statue of Liberty immense in size; the face was very close to her face. The beams of light from the crown on the statue’s head enlarged, and many people moved forward to meet her: relatives, friends, and guides. Rodelle seemed to feel free, as the immigrants who had come to our shores looking for a new life must have felt, filled with the hope that they would be welcomed. Tears started to fill my eyes as I realized how joyful she was to find this new world and see so many souls she loved there to greet her.

Then I asked Rodelle if she was aware of how her daughters, granddaughter, and sisters were managing. She responded by showing pain, which I felt intensely in my left arm, and she expressed to me that relationships with several women in her life had been hard. Friends were easier for her to embrace than family members. It might be like that for all of us, since the family supplies the hardest challenges for resolving karmic cycles and some may not even be resolved in a single lifetime.

Quite suddenly, Rodelle’s spirit and energy dancing around me seemed to lift up, and she expressed that since there were many old thoughts still within her, opening the door to the exquisiteness of this new vision of light and energy was taking some time. I saw in my inner vision an astronaut floating in space trying to move freely and easily without gravity holding him back, but wearing the spacesuit was still a hold to life that had to be discarded for Rodelle to be truly free.

There were many more messages and the final message shared with me showed me conclusively that she had found a new soul family in spirit and was helping others, as it was the best way she had discovered to serve.

How beautiful, I thought, and knew that she was safe. For some time after this reading with Rodelle, I often loved to think of my sister as being surrounded and loved in the blanket of green glory and quietness, as it was soothing to me and helped me resolve the sorrow of her difficult illness and passing.

We return to Jordan as he goes on to tell us how he felt immediately after his passing,…”He felt cold and had a sense of shock. He saw his body on the ground. It occurred to me I was dead and that struck me with horror. Not so much for myself, but for everyone I loved and was connected to. The panic of disconnection for me, was intense. I thought of the route to the flat I shared with Elisa and found myself moving rapidly there. I simply went through the wall and watched her sleeping. It was a feeling not of tears, but a sense of time stretching out without each other a bleakness. Next I visited my friend Mauchi. When I thought of someone and pictured where they were, I could be there. In the first hours after my death I could only go to places I knew well. Now I can be with anyone I want, instantly, just by thinking of them. ”Sheryl says she tells her clients, “Anytime they think of a loved one in Spirt and say their name that soul is right by their side.”

Next Jordan tells us there was a jumble of stuff around him, remnants of his life that seemed real but they were just images made of energy. He was projecting. He felt a hand touching him urging him to slow down and received information telepathically He could also feel love bathing him. Someone maybe a guide asked him to select one image that could stabilize the scene-some place beautiful or peaceful. Jordan was told he was in a Landing Place just outside the spirit world and would remain there until the residual distress from his death had calmed. He also heard the sound of love and with it a sense of belonging of being part of a great whole. He belonged not with the souls of his family but to a sense of all, of all that is.

When Jordan entered the Spirit World he sensed all around souls were huddled focusing inward He was able to meditate on the life he had just lived. It was a Life Review In my connection with my mother I learned about the unconquerable cycle of love and loss that marks our life on Earth. I felt the timelessness of love the moment between a mother and her son carried the light of all the love in the universe. I also realized the cruelty I had inflicted on my sister Bekah. I felt a deep need to know how my actions had affected her.

Matthew tells us that for many souls, death doesn’t begin a nonstop flight to the Spirit World. There are some potential layovers that may interrupt their journey back to Spirit. The first of these has to do with souls who get stuck on Earth. Many souls are afraid to leave the site of their death. As the body cools and is no longer animated by a soul withing they continue to cling. The gentle pull toward spirit is lost for a time in a kind of soul panic: the release, the sudden freedom from the physical seems so strange that the spirit is flooded with an urge to get back inside. They are what people call ghosts. Frightened souls who continue clinging to their bodies, these souls are captured by the emotions of a past life and resist moving to the next place…

The Healing Place which is the next stop for many distressed souls. It is quiet and insulated from telepathic and psychic noise. It has the appearance of some kind of open- air hospital with countless souls lying motionless apparently sleeping. Healing guides minister to them as the souls “live” whatever vivid stories they’ve created. For some souls these stories are experienced in mental or dream states. Some souls have more serious problems to work out and actually travel to dimensions designed for intensive learning. Once you are assigned to the healing place, you have very little control over events. You are spiritually unconscious. The flow of your stories, the strength of your leftover beliefs and assumptions, and the surges of raw emotion will gradually subside. The treatment process is titrated by guides; you are entirely in their hands. Sheryl realizes that the Healing Place was where her sister had communicated her status eight months after her physical death.

Souls arrive in the healing place for many reasons. These can include:

• Dying while in a coma and unaware of the transition.
• Dying in a psychotic state with a loose grasp of conventional reality and arriving in the spirit world influenced by brain-based hallucinations.
• Dying a sudden or violent death—in a state of terror or rage—and in some cases not yet knowing they’re discarnate.
• Having had a life strongly influenced by fear and fear avoidance. These souls often arrive terrified, with minds practiced at inventing catastrophic possibilities. Each catastrophic thought turns into a vivid experience that only terrifies them more. The harsh bardos described in the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead derive from these fear-fueled stories. Fear avoidance is also a factor. These souls become frantic, trying to escape the images of their own making. This painful scenario—panicking, trying to get away, and panicking even more when there’s nowhere to go— continues until these stories and images are slowly turned around by guides.
• Having had a life strongly influenced by anger. Anger and violence are the opposite of love. Incarnate souls who’ve learned to respond to pain with anger are unprepared for the spirit world.
• 27 Violence is even more problematic. Violence inflicts wounds as much on the perpetrator as the victim. It creates pockets of inert or distorted energy in the perpetrating souls. A part of the soul literally goes dead and loses all responsiveness. These souls, as a result, suffer isolation and cannot hear love. They arrive deeply alone and require major energy transfusions (much like blood transfusions) before they can even begin to connect. Some of them remain in the healing wards for Earth centuries.
• Having had a life influenced by greed. Because greed is the product of delusion—that we are all separate, unconnected by love—it leaves souls profoundly confused immediately after death. Their lives have been about having and taking rather than loving and sharing. As with anger, greed isolates; souls see themselves alone, fighting for limited resources. And like angry souls, they arrive largely deaf to love.
• Having had a life ending in despair. Souls who despair have missed the point of life. They think life is about achieving happiness and that pain indicates a blatant failure. But life isn’t about being happy. It’s about learning to love, no matter what level of pain or suffering we face. The pain is an essential part of the lesson, not a sign of failure. Despair is really the inability to express and act on love during periods of extended pain. When despairing souls—particularly those whose death was a suicide— arrive in the afterlife, they may be unattuned to love. While souls aren’t blamed or judged for their despair, it takes time to awaken.
• Having had a life marked by shame and self-hate. Shame occurs when a soul believes their life choices to be at odds with what is good and right. They feel judged, a failure in the eyes of others. Because they believe they are undeserving, they remain deaf to the sound of love permeating the afterlife.

The best preparation for this bardo, while still incarnate, is to work on the realization that your thoughts aren’t real, and use meditation to observe thoughts rather than get caught and consumed in them.

Souls who go to the healing place, while from outward appearances sleeping, can be elsewhere. Souls with intense, dominant emotional states may have some of their soul energy sent to dimensional realities (special bardos) designed for their recovery. There are dimensions, for example, where matter can appear and disappear by mere intention. The soul, while not occupying a physical body, doesn’t have to contend with the organ and biochemical systems of the bodies we have on Earth—and that body can’t be damaged, no matter what the soul does or conjures up. In these dimensions, the soul’s unprocessed emotions from Earth are turned into adversaries, love objects, events (storms, quakes, arrivals and departures), familiar environments, alien environments, and elaborate plots with spine-tingling crises and crescendos. The soul conjures most of this, but some elements are added or remodeled by guides to help resolve the jagged remnants of emotions from the soul’s last life.

Souls who’ve lived many lives have experienced the passage from a physical body to being in spirit hundreds of times. They more easily recognize that they have died, remember and allow the tug toward spirit, and may cross directly into the arms of guides and loved ones. They know the routine and what to expect. They are attuned to love. The hallucinations suffered by emotionally disturbed or less experienced souls are not their fate These more advanced souls have worked through many karmic lessons. Their lives—while often marked by pain and great challenges—were guided by a sense of mission and spiritual truth. They were not lost or alone. They saw through the amnesia and didn’t forget that Spirit lives with and in them. As a result, many make the direct flight to a soul group and quickly resume their work—often learning special skills—there are many careers in the spirit world—that they will utilize on Earth or after they’ve stopped incarnating. These souls may not pause for a full life review but will, in time, consult with guides about the life just lived.

When Jordan had finished his Life Review he tells us a guide led him to a passageway a wide hallway, perhaps more like a tube of light. Hallways leading to city-size collections of soul families flashed by and if you think of each soul as a point of light, the spirit world is a vast array of such lights. And there are many more souls than have incarnated on earth. You might think of the Spirit World as a gigantic brain with each cell(soul) located in a particular place and performing a particular function.

Jordan was heading back to his region town and family. His soul group, “the farm” appears to live in an old Victorian house. This isn’t a physical house, but energy projected by agreement to resemble a house. We create the image that is comforting to us much the same way that souls who incarnate as water creatures might project a quiet lake or bay. We call our soul group “the farm” because we are working to learn methods for helping consciousness grow on a mass level. The laws of change are part of what we study. They were all waiting for me. Eleven of them and I make 12.

Reminds Sheryl of when she had her first Reiki healing initiation and there were 12 in the group.

The soul group is our family, our classroom, and our main source of strength and belonging. We learn together, reincarnate together, and nourish each other with love. The activities I’ve just described are part of daily life. We aren’t playing harps, sitting on clouds, or drinking grog in some Viking Valhalla. We aren’t living in mansions or walking in sandaled feet on the courtyards of temples. We are just a group of souls who learn and love together

Matthew writes, “Jordan shares with us what he learned in the spirit world. Souls have an individual lesson plan. Even souls in the same group, like “the farm,” have unique learning objectives. While guides may teach certain lessons collectively, much of the knowledge we acquire is through study of the Akashic Record (the history of every life, every event, every choice made during incarnations—(both as it happened and as it could have happened). Studying the Akashic Record—sometimes alone, sometimes with guides—is the primary way we review and learn from each incarnation. We examine with great attention every choice and each word spoken as if it were happening now, studying how it affected ourselves and others, feeling the impact of anger or of love. And then we open chapters in the Record that reveal what could have happened if we made different choices.

We also study the Akashic Record to learn the intricacies of cause and effect, watching years-long sequences of events all flowing from a single choice. A single moment. A father slapping a child and yelling, “You’re bad!” can launch a ripple effect that will churn through generations. But we don’t just study the effects of human action. We examine every instrument of change: how water erodes rocks in a stream, how freezing and unfreezing rain in the cracks of granite causes mountains to rupture, how the Big Bang pushes matter ever further into entropy, the silence of nothingness. We can look at cause and effect on every level so that eventually souls can recognize the underlying force driving every phenomenon, be it physics or human behavior. Related to the laws of cause and effect—and also studied in the Akashic Record—are the laws of change. These principles guide conscious interventions that allow souls to interrupt cause and effect and rechannel the course of human events. In the same way a dam can alter a river’s flow, laws of change, judiciously applied at a moment in time, can redirect history.”

Our lives in the spirit world are multifaceted—just as they are on Earth. What we do keeps changing, so we are never bored. To understand what it’s like in the afterlife, you have to realize how much souls love learning. That is our purpose, our mission. We were created for this one reason—to absorb knowledge and experience, and give it to all. We incarnate into a physical universe to learn from that; we love each other and learn from that love and connection; we develop expertise at our spiritual careers. Everything we do fills us with an ever increasing sense of truth. We never arrive at truth. No one does, not even the all (collective consciousness). We keep moving toward truth—holding more and more of it—but never arriving. A “day” in the afterlife—every moment of it—is spent loving and learning. And remember, we can do multiple things at once, so much of what we do is simultaneous rather than sequential. For example, I can visit my loved ones who are still incarnate while at the same time deeply studying the Akashic Record. Or I can be listening to a guide give a lecture while being a tourist on another planet and learning from the life forms there.

So with this in mind, let me list some of the activities I’m involved in.

• Visiting much loved souls. While we can communicate telepathically across infinite distance, it’s like talking on the phone
• Connecting to embodied souls. Communicating to loved ones who are still incarnate is a challenge. The vibrational levels, as noted before, are so different that direct communication is often impossible. Any time a soul on Earth thinks of me, it opens a channel, and if they are receptive, I can answer telepathically.
• Connecting to all. Part of my time is spent in a kind of meditative state, where I connect to collective consciousness. It’s like turning on a radio in which you hear the broadcast for every channel simultaneously. Knowledge fills me, as does this deeply peaceful sense of being part of the whole, of belonging through love.
• Reviewing lessons from past lives. Again, this is all done through study of the Akashic Record. Guides are often involved,
• Creating things. Most souls engage in some creative activities.
• Rituals. Our soul group doesn’t eat together like families do on Earth, but we do connect ritually. We take time, periodically, to do a form of singing that synchronizes our energy patterns for a while, and helps us feel closer. We do ritual merging—sometimes as a group to strengthen the emotion of belonging and sometimes in pairs, where we experience a deep intimacy and knowing of each other that feels energetically similar to sex.
• Lectures and seminars with advanced souls. Part of our training involves being exposed to the wisdom, skills, and experience of advanced souls
• Movies. These are special “videos” from the Akashic Record that form amazing travel logs. We can watch the Big Bang, we can see the formation and evolution of previous universes, we can watch documentaries of life forms who host incarnating souls on other planets, and we can peer down the timeline to future events. We also watch and learn from documentaries of souls who have led inspiring lives.
• Enjoying “the darkness.” We don’t sleep, but we can enjoy periods alone and draw a sort of cover over ourselves. We can have our own thoughts, our own memories, and our own hopes and plans in privacy—there’s no telepathic seepage of our thoughts to other souls.
• Skills training. As described earlier, there are many spiritual careers. After we’ve been incarnating for a while, and we’re not using all the time between lives to review and learn from our most recent incarnation, guides begin encouraging us to consider a career in the spirit world.

Sheryl asks Matthew to tell us what he conceives Love to be? Matthew writes, LOVE IS A PLACE, A LOCATION. It is where consciousness resides. It isn’t a feeling, or a state, or a form of experience. It is the place of all thought, all knowledge, all truth. It is the essence of beauty and what moves us to recognize beauty and know love in the presence of beauty. Love is joining; it is the act of seeing, knowing, and, for a time, becoming the beloved. Love is a place of pure belonging where we enter each other and, finally, the whole. Love is not a subject and object, nor is it a lover and a recipient of love. It is the place where they live together, having the same awareness, the same memory, the same truth. Love in the spirit world—that place of merging, knowing and belonging—lives as a shadow, a faint presence inside of us. That shadow is the source of our loneliness here on Earth.

Sheryl says she remembers once being wounded by a friend who didn’t back her up in a decision that affected many people and which Sheryl as a medium and healer knew to be correct, and Sheryl said to that soul. I thought you were home… According to the definition of Love Sheryl always wanted to be home to everyone and to be known as love by everyone.

We can make it easier to pass through the stages of death to enter the Spirit World. There are things you can do now to have a more direct flight after death. Layovers on Earth, in the healing place, or in the “strange dimensions” can be minimized by doing these six things:

1. Prepare now to recognize when you are dead. While out-of -body and near-death experiences are not rare, most of the time when you’re outside of your body, you have crossed over. Pay attention to the events surrounding your out-of-body experience. Are lifesaving efforts continuing? Are people mourning? Are they wrapping or cleaning your body? Also note how long you have been out-of-body. If a lot has happened and significant time has gone by, your incarnation is likely over.
2. Feel and accept the tug up to Spirit. If you are out-of-body, pay attention to the tug toward Spirit. It may show up as a desire to “let go,” it may come as a movement upward, or it may simply arrive as a graying out of the physical scene of your death while your conscious awareness continues. However it shows up, allow it. Encourage it. Accept and go with it.
3. Trust that you will be guided and cared for. From the moment you leave your body, guides are closely attending to you. Expect them. Trust that they are with you, even if you can’t see them. Let them take you where you need to go. They love you; they have only your best interests at heart. Their sole job is to care for you.
4. Listen for a voice or words in your mind. Your guides will very soon start communicating telepathically. In some cases, the guides communicate with a simple awareness, a sense of knowing. Put your full attention to hearing whatever they convey.
5. Avoid forming mental images or pictures. This often leads to disturbing visions that plague souls just arriving in spirit. Instead, focus on your feelings of love for souls who’ve already crossed over. You’ll see them soon. Anticipate that and keep your attention on love. Feel it. Listen for it.
6. As soon as you see guides or loved ones, attend fully to them. Listen to them. Feel the love flowing between you. Love is your passport. When you feel it, you won’t wait long before entering the spirit world.

Matthew Mc Kay and his son Jordan might like readers of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife to take away with them after reading this very detailed view of the journey during the transition to spirit. Matthew Jordan and Sheryl might like readers to know that there is no death only life after life and in spirit more PLEASURE FOR SOULS. Learning is only part of the experience in spirit. There’s actually more fun in the afterlife than on Earth. In the physical world, pleasure is experienced in the nervous and limbic systems. It peaks and then quickly decays as we desensitize to the experience. Our bodies can’t retain sensations of pleasure for very long because our arousal system is designed to return to baseline quickly. In the spirit world, enjoyment can be sustained indefinitely because it doesn’t depend on bodily reactions.

But on the other, we can hold deep, sustained enjoyment through experiences such as:

• visiting and connecting to soul friends
• intimate merging
• tourism—visiting other worlds, other times, and other stages in the development of consciousness
• meditating on the love of all
• creating—everything from music to energy sculptures to planets.

We thank Matthew McKay Ph. D author of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife for showing us through the experiences of his son Jordan who passed at the age of twenty three his wondrous journey to the Spirit World and the loving connections to loved ones, higher vibrational beings, guides who have been with us here in life and again with us in the afterlife. he makes as we learn that all life is simply about experiences learning and loving and evolving to a higher level of compassion for all that is.

In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within’ we have interacted with our minds and our souls to the distinct need to understand death dying and life eternal, through the feelings and awareness of Jordan in spirit shared with his father Matthew who wrote a book where we have a true vision of the state of the soul, the reasons why souls choose a physical life, the beauty of living learning and loving and the journey back home which can be made more wondrous if we leave fear out of the process at the time we leave our physical bodies and begin again our life in Spirit.

Matthew wrote, “THE DEEPEST TRUTH of the universe is that love is eternal; our relationships to each other and the whole go on forever. Reuniting is a myth born of our physical lives. We are always together (even though on Earth we forget), always united in love, always and irrevocably connected to all of consciousness. So, reunion is merely a ceremony where incarnated soul energy returns to spirit, and our soul group and friends bang the drum to welcome us home. But in truth we never left them. Our collective love has always held us as if we were one breath. We feel so alone on this planet, and the love of incarnates is so tenuous and conditional that isolation seems normal. The emptiness of having our deepest selves unseen (hidden within a body and a personality) is the root of human sadness, and it is why the hope for union animates all our relationships—with both the living and the dead. We cannot know in this place that our aloneness is an illusion created for our own growth. As we approach death, the thought of reunion often seems more sweet. We have lost loved ones, and even in our most intimate relationships we may continue to feel a distance—as if we have always lived a little apart—beyond being held, beyond being known. And because merging in love is so difficult here, we yearn all the more for it as life reaches its end. Instinctively, if we listen to our soul’s truth, we can feel the imminent approach of our joining to all that we love. We can use this hunger for reunion to begin welcoming the transition. Souls we love who are now in spirit often appear to us in the days or hours before death, when possible, as part of the plan to ease our transition; they remind us that we are going home and there is nothing to fear. ……”

Matthew and I would have you know the more you allow accept and surrender to all experiences, without judging them good or bad, you will begin to be comfortable and in tune with the challenges of the physical world, and will come to have an easier transition back to Spirit when that time comes for you. The cycle of life is miraculous, whether in or out of a body.
