Hi Jonathan,

It's always nice to see new people join here because I get the chance to be encouraging which we all need once in a while!  I think you are right, many of us, if not all, were in your shoes at some point.  You sound like all your questions and wonderings come from your heart.  I'm sure you won't have trouble finding some answers.  I always suggest to the "newbies" here to definitely read around this website.  There is a lot of information and I'm sure there has got to be something that will resonate with you and will get you moving in the right direction.  There are great links at the top, the FAQ and such, and there are several forums.  Even click through the older pages on the main forum to read up on what others have asked and shared.  Another trick I can give you...if you see another member who says something you like, click on their name, go to their profile, and you can pull up other posts they've written.  It's a quick way to get a lesson from someone who you feel you resonate with.

Bruce writes about his experiences in the Afterlife, and he teaches people how they can do it themselves.  How does that strike you?  When I bought Bruce's first book many years ago I thought he was nuts!  I didn't even read the whole book.  But I wasn't ready for it then.  Later when I was, I was so happy I still had his book sitting on my shelf, and when I finally read it then I wanted to slap myself in the forehead and say "why didn't I read this way back then?  This is what I needed and I had it all along but just didn't know it".  So of course, I recommend his books too, definitely. 

Have fun!

Love, Vicky

Hi Jonathan,

First I would advise not letting yourself get caught up in the negative "what ifs," and fears.  Try to explore with some of the references you will find on this site.  There are no quick immediate answers - a spiritual quest is a lifetime endeavor but you can get confirmations and signs along the way.

The way you feel about loved ones, friends and family  - this is the positive that you should not lose track of.  People get so caught up in visions of the afterlife that they forget what is important while alive; love, family, kindness.  I know that sounds like a church sermon - sorry.   

But it is important.  Explore; take your time.  Learn, read, meditate all with a positive quest or journey.  But in the meantime, don't let it distance you from the real/physical world and the wonderful opportunities we have in being alive.  The most enlightened souls I have met manage to merge their spiritualism with the here and now.

Best Wishes,

Matthew

Hi everybody! My name is Marcela and I found this web site because I was looking information about life after death. Sometimes(most of the times) it is hard for me to find people that want to discuss issues like this, they think you are maybe weird or something like that. The fact is, I found myself again wondering about what is the meaning of my existence, why are we here and other questions about after life. I have read some of the explanations given by Bruce Moen and I think it is the best explanation so far someone was able to come out with. It gives me hope  and I feel a little bit les afraid of death. I have to work on this feeling of fear because I know it is not healthy for the soul. I will love to get an out of body experience;I have tried before but with not luck. Maybe because it is hard for me to concentrate, as soon as I get relaxed the feeling of fear makes its apperance and I can not relax anymore. What is my fear when I am relaxing? An entity, ghost, spirit or something like that is going to appear and I will panic in horror ( I used to watch horror movies sometimes, maybe that affected me) Anyways, I am so happy to have found this website and if someone have a tip for relaxation different of the ones always posted in other websites, please tell me and I will practice. I need that kind of peace in my life to be able to help others too in  the way you are doing it. Thank you, and God bless you!

Alysia, thank you very much for your welcome. I would love to get confirmation of the afterlife, then I would not be afraid anymore about this issue, and I could help others too. I am ready to purchase one of Bruce books, what do you recomend? Remember I am a beginner. Thank you again.Love and Gratitude!

yes agreed, the guidebook has so much in it. but still I'm partial to the first four books for the flavor of them and just pure enjoyment. anybody know what the first book was called? I forgot. my favorite is "Beyond all Doubt." or maybe it was "Journey Beyond all Doubt."  Marcela if you deside to go with the original first 4, its best my pov, go with the first book written Bruce wrote and if u like it, get them in sequence. good to have you join us!

lets see now..jogging my short memory Vicki!   Monroe has
1) Far Journeys
2) Ultimate Journeys
3) ???

yes, the afterlife seemed an old fashioned word I never could get used to using it, although my guide uses it all the time and is quite comfortable with it. later after reading some other material I thought before life was a good phrase in conjunction with Afterlife as they're the same place, but realized the majority of people wouldn't relate well to before life so I decided Afterlife was the perfect word after all.

thanks Vicki for listing them for Marcela and anyone else. and the 5th book is the Guidebook Marcela which has a lot of the first 4 books info and a lot more hands on instructions for learning to explore you own self, so its very important also.
hugs, alysia

Thats a lovely life story Vicky
