Sam,

>> 1)  In the afterlife are there physical attributes such as age that can be modified? Or basicly is it the state of death is what you cross over in? <<

From my experience I'd say we are free to make any choice that we are aware is available to use.  Our "physical appearance" There is something we can chose to alter to the extent we are aware that we can make the choice.


>>  2) Theres talk of brain related diseases not allowing you to pass sucsessfully. Does this seem to be a large factor? <<

It's more the habit of having such things that can be a problem.   I don't know anything about the percentage of people wtih this who become stuck as a result, but I would suggest that if you are concerned about your grandfather, send him Love.

>> 3) Are there any articles out there for exploring the afterlife which dont cost money? In the future I plan on purchasing, but I really can't at this point. <<

There are lots of articles and posts on this website you can learn from.  In my view (I'm biased) the best choice to learn afterlife exploration is my 5th book, Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook.  There are written scripts for all 26 exercises in the book.  These are specifically provided for those on a budget who can't afford to buy the exercise CDs.  You can make your own exercise tapes using these scripts.
