Hopefully there will be an afterlife forwarding device (AFD) in case the person we're trying to reach has already been reincarnated!

actually if they had enough energy left in heaven, you could talk to their past "personality," because souls are the full collection of all their personalities and can be any one at any time, which is why when people see spirits of their dead relatives they can look, talk and act the same as they did on earth...

so at what point after someone passes do they realize that their soul embodies all lifetimes and that they can transform themselves into any one of those personalities? is it a skill that has to be learned?

this goes back to that discussion about losing "yourself" when you die. it is comforting for me as a human to think that i will still be "me" in the afterlife, but obviously disconcerting to think that not only will i be me, but every other version of me too!

i don't know, but i would guess almost instantly in earth time terms, because how else could a spirit visit in their last body's form, knowing fully well that that body is dead and decayed?

yeah i know what you mean. however when you consider that we already ARE our soul.... just "trapped" in a physical body... then the fact that we've lived past lives isn't as big of a deal. i'm curious about how much of our earthly personality is our soul and how much is just our body/history from this particular life.

I'm a blues musician and always have a tune running in my mind, and even when I'm mind journeying (TMI/Bruce's style) often I keep humming out there, too. Depending in what state you are over there, in the earth-like places most probably there are earth-like musicians. Now, I'm one of those who almost "hear" the music that is to play or to be sung, so when in a more fluid, airy place/state of meditation, I can directly "produce" music without any instrument, just by thought. It's obvious that this changes the style of the music, when, depending on the skills of imagination, one person could produce the sound of a whole orchestra.

Never heard of Kenny G. so I looked him up on youtube, whoa! If that's progress, I wanna live forever in the good ol days!!

Spooky

I suspect it may be somewhat like what we do here in different circumstances - sometimes I'm my kid's mom, and I'm the "one in charge" - other times I'm the farrier, other times the sympathetic friend, when John was alive I was the wife and lover...sometimes I have to do a flashback to the old days when I hung around in some scary places, and revert to the "I'll tear out your kidneys and feed them to my cat" persona, to get safely home again. All those people are "me", but someone who'd only met me "back in the day" would be very surprised at my behavior if I accompany someone to church, say.

I can swap between those "people" at will, but some of them would definitely not be welcome where some others dwell (and angels fear to tread... Wink

good points Cricket, how we can change roles here. it's like when my mother got older, I became her mother, in that role, I had to supply the disapline for common sense, that a mother employs to a child.

those of us that go into stage work as actresses and actors reflect the many roles we can play successfully, who knows but that we are calling on past resources in order to play the villain or the hero in the best way.
we switch genders, we trade places, our children become our parents, it all looks chaotic just until we get a higher viewpoint of why we came here and it's usually because we wanted the adventure and growth into the discovery of who and what we really are..and we had to forget in order to remember.

thanks for the post, you do good work. love, alysia
