Hi again,

Sorry for yet another question. From what I have read here about different focus'. Belief systems have a lot to do with what happens when we pass to the other side, what of syblings, spouses, friends who hold different belief systems? They would find themselves in completely different places, the FAQ mentions that it's difficult for people to move to focus 27 if a certain particular belief system is in place (or something along those lines)

Forgive me for such, complex questions!

And please PM me with your experiences in exploration!

The ability for different beliefs to share experiences is part of what makes this reality (often referred to as C1 or the Earth Life School “ELS”) so special.

My feeling is that knowledge of “other belief systems” is important for at least two very  important reasons:

1.Although the knowledge does not necessitate that you BELIEVE ,  it can allow “visits” to be made to other BST’s

2.What most Retrievers will tell you is that probably the most difficult part of any retrieval is convincing the retrievee that there are “other” ways to believe.  Knowledge of other systems of belief represent additional avenues of “escape’

I personally find the above reasons resonate true.  They are presented for your consideration. Only you can find your answers.  Good Luck on your journey!

Captainbubby,

I want to recommend that you look at the Retrieval forum, in case you haven't see it yet.   You'll find a variety of experience there that is very helpful and inspiring to all of us, especially to those of us who haven't actually done retrievals yet.

Also, I too have wondered about your question of loved ones going to different places.   For instance, my parents are locked in a box of religious beliefs and fears, while my husband is locked in a box of not believing anything.  And where will I be?  I have ideas of what I believe and what I want to believe, but then again I'm sure there are some beliefs and fears I have that I am not even aware of. 

At least I have the comfort of knowing that my interest and curiosity in learning to explore the afterlife will allow me to know what my options are for after my death.  I'm sure I'll have to fetch my husband out of whatever Focus 23 he's got himself stuck in, but then he'll need time in Focus 27 to learn, heal, rejuvinate, correct?  So while he's busy there for who knows how long, then I suppose I could go visit my parents in their BST which I'm assuming is possible, right?  So after I get tired of being there after a few minutes (ha ha) then what will I want to do?  I have no idea yet.  Or will I be immediately put in my own BST and not able or not realize that I can do other things?  I hope not.  I want to learn as much as I can now so that I am always on a path of curiosity and learning, and not at a standstill.   I guess, once you think you know all there is to know, that's when you get stuck somewhere.

That's interesting Dave since he hung around until his wife died. Did he say why they each went their separate ways?  Just curious.

Love, Mairlyn

Vicky,

You might want to check out Gordon Phinn's book on the various ways we can connect with other's after we've left here.  But I seem to recall that, with family/friends, we both have to want this to happen for it to be a productive meeting.  If I died today, I think that I still have a few people that I wouldn't want to meet as soon as I got there for various reasons.
