This is the Love Eternal ... Everlasting."  

This is the Love of God-Goddess that courses through each and every one of us;

for we are always a part of, and can never be apart from, this Grand Love energy !

LOVE IS WHO WE ARE!

And, nothing was made without love!

Holding Others Back After Death!

Can we, REALLY?

Upon wth event we call "death" that other soul is as FREE from the confines of earth and body as they choose to be, just as we on earth are free to miss them or not. Thus, their conscious awareness may be anywhere or any time they choose, just as we many times think, or day dream, about being somewhere else in another time. Thoughts are real in their own context and consciousness is the stuff we are made of!  Why do we deny these metaphysical facts tyhat are a part of our everyday lives - and we know it, but try to ignore it.  Why?

So, if, as or since you and another dearly departed one did certain things together, they may indeed show up in thought form, whether or not you are aware of them, as you continue doing what you used to do, together; especially of it is or was joyful! And since we're all joined together, spiritually, in love to help and assist each other, this is all a part of a loving natural process we call "God". Thus, as we are in communion with others, whether living in a human body or not, this is truly a Divine Communion of love. So, there is no "there" to get to as each "here" and now is chosen.

Love connects us all, and these events are proof of love, (the love of God in self) the connections it enables and the continuance of life beyond these earthly environs and limitations. Thus, though each consciousness is unique and sovereign, we are all connected, (though we don't want to believe it and thus can't see it) like a flock of birds or school of fish, dancing the dances of love as we follow our paths through this life and others.  So why not relax and enjoy the journey!

Further, time is timeless so we are always in our everlasting Now, examining various portions of this infinite instant. So, bringing this a little more down to earth, all things are happening at once; and we just choose the order in which we want to experience them.

We write the stories, then see them through our own eyes, with whatever kind of lenses we choose; showing us a world that may be good, bad, beautiful, ugly, fearful or loving. We even invent the lenses through which we view the actors we gathered and the stage we set for our lives. This is all very creative! We are the Creators we've been looking for! And the news is that The Divine Creator is within each one of us!

Now, those disincarnate ones you might have been aware of, seemingly "hanging around", they may just be coming back to see a loved one or to re-experience some earthly joys ... like us "going to the movies". But, the portion of their infinite soul that you become aware of is just one personality or portion of the Grand Soul of the Infinite, Eternal, Immortal Everything that is The All-That-IS. We are each and all a portion of divinity having a physical experience and this experience is a part our greater divine plan of experiencing All-That-IS that is, was and never shall be separate from God-Goddess, or you!

As for my former wife and lover (many lifetimes, I might add), MARTINE, in her larger awareness is in multiple places at once, in many time frames and dimensions. Given that scenario, there is no way I can hold her back!  As always, I let her make her own choices!

I am now reminded of an 11/18 Email from Bev (www.SimpleSpirituality.com)

"Sounds like everything is totally in right order and that Martine is seeing that everything falls into place.

I just love how God/spirit work."

December 14 - DREAM - It seemed that Martine was with me ... in my early dreams, but not later in the night.   Martine was talking to me about our human lives being like cameo appearances of actors in a movie or in a stgage play.  The actors and actoresses come in and out, play their roles and then are gone from the movie, the play and seemingly no more after that role was played and all tne interactions necessary were performed.  Yet, though they are no longer on the stage, they are still alive, now in different roles and their lives still go on in other ways, doing other things.   So, indeed, while they still exist, it
appears to the movie goers that they no longer exist.  So it is with our human lives - as actors, interacting, experiencing, learning and growing; finding out more about who we are or could be ... or mightg like to become!

This change of roles is what happens in "death".  The actor leaves that role, only to take on another.

This is how All Things, Events, Situations and Experiences, "living" or "dead", even us, believing in ourselves ... came into Be-ing or what we call Real-ity!   But the essence that even has the ability to believe, goes on, beyond our imagined boundaries of time and space, through infinite love and grace

BE-LIEF creates BEING LIFE!
