Interesting Dave. I don't remember where it was that I read about the weight of the soul but the weight always stayed with me. Maybe it was 13 gms but that still doesn't come out to 2.8 oz. Anyway, your explanations are really beyond me but interesting.

What about, or maybe this was taken into consideration, when a person dies, I know that they urinate and defecate (censors, do what you can with that). So are they weighed after that? Well, I guess I answered my own question as if they're dead, then those body fluids and solids are already gone. OK I suddenly feel like I'm digging myself in a hole. 

Love, Mairlyn

All i can say is i can't wait to meet you all on the other side, after experiencing all i can here first!

That will definatly be weird...will we still be who we are here or suddenly be totally different people? I hope we aren't too different....

And I'll be sooo glad to get rid of the language limitations . Rotes for me only from then on in.

Love, Jean

Sandra,

You probably got a date so you could grow past it in many ways. The intention behind getting that kind of info would be only to scare you no matter where it came from.

Anyhow, my dad died when I was 13 but came to me in a lucid dream to explain why. I felt thrilled that he was actully there sitting in a chair right across from.  That was a few years ago when I was in my mid fifties but the memory of that meeting is still fresh in my mind.  For me, I took about 40 years for him to visit but considering, I didn't expect to see him here at all-that's still pretty groovey.

Hint: Just listen to the words that are loving and helpful-when you are given any negative unhelpful messeges-tell them to "go jump in the lake!!!"

So glad you stopped by. Love, Jean

it is a little difficult for spirits to be heard Sandra, especially since we have not developed the 6th sense as a whole, but during these times we have assistance to make contact with loved ones. it does seem very unlikely that just when you see his face your computer would go down and rapping is heard. as for a warning about taking care of the body or looking after it or death will come earlier than desired, I had one of those warning also...20 years ago. I must of did something right, I'm still here. mainly, I had fears that I would die and just not be ready for that. so when I woke up I decided to start doing everything I wanted to do. I just needed to be woken up that this life is temporary. we forget so easy how short life is. and the dream made me conscious of that. somebody said today is the first day of the rest of your life, thats what I mean. but no life is a waste, even if to die young, still, is good to have a life at all. love, alysia

Hi again,
Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer me and try to help me out of my confusion. I think I am going to love it here.

Peace, Love and Light.

Sandra.

Welcome Sandra!

I was with my father when he passed a few years ago.  He was very distraught and afraid to die.  Just before he let go of his body I heard a voice call his name twice.  Moments later he let go of his body for a few seconds and then went back into it in an attempt to cling to life here I presume.  Probably less than a minute later he let go of his body and joined the spirit world.  Before this event I’d had numerous experiences interacting with the spirit world so I already had no doubts about all of us as eternal beings.  A few days later I was also able to visit with him and knew that he had adjusted to this transition very well.

I think so many people live their life in denial of their own death.  Sure we know it’s inevitable, yet at the same time it terrorizes us so much that we try to push it away from us by either refusing to think about it or living in such a way that leads us to believe that everyone will die except me.  The alternative to this is to either be constantly living with this fear of death, letting it dictate everything we do, or we can accept our own death right now.  Why accept it now?  Because eternal life is now and it lasts forever.   

The fact is that… if life is eternal, then the life we are living here on earth is not life.  We all need to learn to be comfortable with the concept of what eternal means and begin to see ourselves as eternal beings.  We all know deep inside of us that we are infinite beings.  Each of us has carried this wisdom throughout the ages.  What we think of as life is really just an illusion that our ego has created.  We think we are our body, our intellect, our possessions, etc. and daily we reinforce this belief by not allowing ourselves to connect with and embrace infinity.  Perhaps we do this because we don’t have a clear concept of what it means to be eternal. 

For example the people here on this board discuss this belief or that belief and whether or not this view is correct or that view is correct, and we all share our experiences with each other as well.  It seems that we all need to analyze these things in order to change our thinking to that which is eternal. 

Basically there are probably only two points of view regarding our own death.  The first one says that we are our physical body and we live here on earth for a few years or many years and then ultimately we either die in an accident or we get sick and die and when this happens, then we are annihilated and dead forever.  The second point of view is very simply that we are an eternal being or soul experiencing a temporary expression of living in the flesh.  In this second point of view only our physical body dies, not the soul that we truly are.  And that since we are an eternal being we were created whole and perfect and that the physical body we are experiencing emanated from an eternal Source or the Universal mind of the collective. 

This Universal mind is formless and it takes a while for us to grasp what it means to be formless energy, but from my experience it is the pure energy of love, peace, gentleness, kindness, beauty and creativity that can never die because there’s no physical form as we know it involved so there’s no possible way that it even could deteriorate and waste away.  I’ve always remembered something I learned in school many years ago.  That is that science has proven that energy can neither be created, nor can it be destroyed… only changed in form.  Basically, this means that we are frozen lumps of energy so to speak… that can never be destroyed.

Love and light to all,
Kathy
