In relation to what was written in a previous post regarding romantic relationships carrying on from physical realms into afterlife realms. I was wondering if it is also possible for an individual to develop a romantic relationship whilst in the afterlife realms with an individual met within these afterlife realms (i.e. not somebody that you met in the physical that carried over into the afterlife, but somebody that you actually met while in the afterlife.) In other words, when I make the transition into the afterlife, will it be possible to spark brand new romantic relationships in those various afterlife realms with brand new "people". -- Ethereal spirit matter to ethereal spirit matter. --

Boredom is the pits..thanks to people like you Cosmic, I find I can keep boredom at bay..   as a curious probe and even lovers are curious I probe the pits as well. theres always a reason for boredom too. even a reason for confusion..which I'm told is a very high state as it occurs before a great change.. sinking deep into a bored moment can become a comfortable character trait or even a habit. you could say, I am a bored person therefore anyone who is not bored with me is a poo poo head. then we need people. others come up and say, oh, you're not bored. you yourself I find boring. hmm. you think. I need to be loved. maybe I should change my bored and boring ways so I can hang with these others who are not bored and seem to find something worthwhile to keep their curiosity and well being levels higher than mine. maybe something good will rub off by the type of people who are honest to reflect with us. but I know you're talking about something slightly different. scuse the babblemania above.
u seem to be asking "how it will be on the other side to be all knowing and nothing to pursue as already been there, done that, and now what?"

heres some of Cozzolino's writing which helped me.

Now, imagine yourself in Balance in your Heart -- still in the center of your web. From here, you are able to fully understand and relate to all experience in the first three layers while remaining totally aware of the driving force and potential for experience in the remaining layers, from here the concept of layers has fallen away. You are able to imagine, express, and participate in your innate ability as a creator without becoming immersed in the Maya that is a part of self-expression. Both the creative drive of your mind and the full awareness of Mind are active. You are in Balance as always, but your attention and your paradigm are now in the center, and are free to explore the entire transpersonal realm. You have found the Heart. quoted from The Path.

somebody here said after death they wanted to sit in Elvis's lap. I had to agree, it sounded like a plan.

Thanks DocM and Chuckles! Both of you wrote some amazing things, again with some amazing insights.

Chuckles, there's no such thing as "babblemania"... You don't babble... you bubble; and lucky for me you have graciously sent your bubble my way. In turn, I popped it and gained access to the amazing thoughts that you have so sincerely placed inside! You are an amazing intellect and an ever-caring individual.

"Sure thought creates reality there immediately."

I have thought about this notion on numerous ocassions... I've been wondering how exactly a thought is finally decided upon as being the end result thought for creating something in the afterlife realms. For example, say I'm thinking of an ice cream cone, and I would really like to create one/have one appear in front of me. However, my mind slightly wanders a little bit, and I begin to think about elephants and ice cream cones together; and in the meantime there is a developing visual in front of me trying to emulate/create the thought pattern that I'm going through... I look at it, and it is trying to work out the concept of an ice cream cone and elephant simultaneously, for that is what I am thinking about, but I only intended to create the ice cream cone, but the elephant keeps passing through my mind as well. So, in front of me I'm seeing an ice cream cone with an elephant's head, and an elephants tail hanging off the end of the cone...

I guess I'm wondering at which point the image finally decides upon its end appearance based on the thoughts that are developing it. Does one finally just say, "Okay, think ice cream cone..." "C'mon man, think ice cream cone..." "Nothing else..." "Just pure clean ice cream cone..." "1... 2... 3..." "Ice cream cone... APPEAR!" And then the ice cream cone is there just as you imagined it to be in your mind's eye? I'm beginning to feel that there is a lot more control over one's thoughts and actions in the afterlife, then there is in say the physical realms... It would seem sort of chaotic and strange to me if it were the case that thoughts just appeared before you taking the form of that which you were thinking... I guess kind of like a dream is chaotic. The afterlife MUST have a better system developed for this that is far more suitable for the notions of thoughts creating visuals in front of oneself. I've had some strange thoughts before, that I could in no way imagine being brought forth into some sort of tangible substance. PUL must override strange obscure thoughts in the afterlife... If not...  we have now entered "The Twighlight Zone!"

All joking aside... my questions are sincere & honest.

Many who follow Seth or Elias talk of thought creating reality, and Seth, I believe, spoke of one prime reason for being incarnate was to learn to control your thoughts and creative power.  I am not sure of the authenticity of some of the Seth/Elias stuff, however the philosophy is a cogent one, so I take from it what makes sense.

I would not worry about wandering thoughts, because (now here is the kicker) you have wandering thoughts right here on earth.  And guess what?  They all don't enter into our reality.  Wish fulfillment is not common.  Ok, if not, why not?  Herein lies the answer, grasshopper.  If you delve into the power of your own mind, you will find that it is not our whims which translate into the real world, it is our deepest held thoughts, and our strongest beliefs.  The subconscious is shared with the universe.  In order to impress something onto it, and see it come to pass, here in the real world it needs to enter into our consciousness as a belief.  Thus, our deepest desires and dreams may come true if we believe in them, as well as our deepest fears, if we dwell on them long enough. 

Kathy, on this board has talked of "cross-purpose" thoughts.  We say "I want to get a promotion at work."  At the same time we think "I'm always passed over, and it just won't happen for me."  The first thought never impresses on the subconscious, as the second gives the opposite force.  This, can be seen by any who examine their deepest thoughts and motivations in the real world, or who meditate on making a positive change in their lives, usually right before going to sleep, when the subconscious is most impressionable.

I see no reason why our creative process would be different in the afterlife.  We may not be in a physical plane, however, our deepest thoughts and beliefs translate readily, whereas, I would imagine fleeting thoughts would not.  This is how people place themselves in "hells."  Voluntarily by like finding like (birds of a feather).  This is why Don's example of a serial rapist trying to "fool" his way into heaven can never work.  Or a homicide bomber.  The mindset of the rapist is such that his deepest beliefs of harm and disregard for others can not be put aside. 

Also, to get back to your initial question, I see no reason why we may not find attraction on a different plane.  How we define this attraction may be the same or different.  However, when we meet someone and it feels right, we just know it, and follow it. 

Is it possible that ascending in vibration and thought, we would not engage in sexual attraction, losing the dualistic nature of physical world which is all an illusion?  Possibly.  However, an intelligent advanced soul may still say "I understand my nature as one with everything, yet that etheric lady over there sure does have a great pair of legs!"  And so it goes on...

Again, I'm beside myself when I read your guys' replies! Such articulated/amazing thoughts! I feel like there is nowhere else in this world that I can go to gain such amazing responses to the questions that I have regarding these types of things. Now what was it that you guys charge per hour? I forgot... Was it $50 or $60 per hour?

The amazing thing is that you guys work 7 days a week;  "FREE" of charge; and I get amazing brain growth/stimulation out of the deal! Couldn't get that from a 24 hour fitness center!

I'm impressed Chuckles! You have found a use for this amazing pictoral...

(Never'll get old!)

Hey DocM, it's a good feeling to know that I can still appreciate a nice pair of legs on the other side! You had me worried there for a second.

I like how you wrote about the afterlife as being akin to our physical reality with regards to thought processes and the immediate affects of them on our immediate environment. For example, right now I can think about elephants and ice cream cones... but, my main focus and immediate action is typing what I am writing right now. So, it is a a rather functionable process. I didn't look at it like that... (And that's why you guys get paid the $BIG bucks$!)

Thanks Chuckles and DocM for your elaborated caring attention towards this thread... I was very curious! You guys have scatched my itch... "for now".
