Wondering what some of your thoughts might be as to what you expect to find and how you might exist (live) in heaven. (?)
I expect it to be much like here with the exception of not being in body. There will be jobs to do and expectations of things to compleat. A desire to have a closer bond with God. A knowingness of something better. Also a possibility of concern. Like... when I live, will I be going to earth or to hell?  Perhaps even a fear of comming back to be in body. Opinions to be developed and paths to be decided. Something like that. Any thoughts of the "afterlife?"

I agree Joe there would be similarities, but different laws to be under than physics.

from watching my sister, deceased, she told me she works with abused horses now, but she also has a place to live, and she met a new man, as she always believed in having just one person in a relationship, a very traditional person she was. in life she trained horses and won trophies for that, so it looks like we continue doing what we know best, what we love, she must have been like a horse whisperer then, because she won so many shows, she knows this animal well and continued to attend them on the other side with a deep love.

I imagine upon transition we will regain some memories of having been on that side of things after the first few days of linear time, and we certainly have our own group of people around us who have already transitioned, they seem to know when your number is up and prepare to greet you, and make it easy. At first it's all new, I suspect, then the memories of this place make it feel like home once more.
I feel I'm with a dance troupe on the other side, when I go to sleep at night..it's not like a job, but something we love to do and I'll just pick up where I left off. we invent new dance steps, and the younger ones about to enter  take these steps into the Earth planes.
we also help people with their sorrow when we dance. so it's not like it's a frivolous activity just because it's not intellectual.

theres so many interesting groups to visit also...seems like it would be a very busy place and yet have many relaxation locales as well. then the group you are with are very familiar entities also and much time is spent with them reflecting on the experiences gained in the life physical, and their observations are helpful.

hi Ian, my example is just an individual example of the astral plane where my sister could not go higher until she worked off some forgiveness she had to get from family members, and she had a lot of resentments when she died. its best, if you want to ascend higher planes, not to die as a bitter unhappy person. you have to spend more time working it thru then. also many people have died in my family and they had to come and recieve from each family member forgiveness for their mistakes..this is just like the bible, where it says every jot and tittle must be accounted for, it just means every thought we've ever had against someone else is considered in the afterlife important to rectify, meaning get yer baggage taken care of before you transition and you can go higher right away.
my stepfather requested as a spirit forgiveness of my mother also. they all try to get forgiveness so they can move on.

its so simple is salvation, PUL is the operative out there, and forgiveness comes first.
we actually don't need any thought system at all if we understand the premise of do unto others, etc.

Hi Hawkeye,
How about this?   T


   What people call "heaven" is really our true home and destination. It is where we go for "recess" or to be rewarded by assessing our progress as a soul, evaluating our lives, and to remember all truths, including our real identity. We stay there for however long best serves our development.
   Heaven is not a place of rest because no one there gets tired. It's more like a new lease on life.
 
Heaven is a place of imagination. Heaven is exactly what our imagination needs it to be.
   
In heaven, where all people really love each other, there are no inhibitions, or need for them. Everyone does exactly as they please; which works out well because only the best in each person survives, and good is all anyone ever wants to do. This allows a freedom and happiness that people on earth can't imagine.
   
People don't go to heaven because of their good deeds, or because they believe this or that, but because they fit in and belong. It's what you are that counts.
   
Each soul has a "job" to do, a position to fill in the greater scheme of things. All souls evolve.
   Souls can choose to remain in heaven and operate on a particular level for eternity if they desire.
   
-After death, each soul has to rise as best it can through a hierarchy of heavens and face the increasingly difficult challenges posed by the guardian angels of each level of heaven.
   
Things in heaven don't age, don't get dirty, don't wear out, and don't get tired.  Everything is kept pure by God.
   
Our deceased pets appear in heaven the way we remember them, only younger and more vital. We can communicate with them telepathically. They also have dwelling places of their own

Blink, That was one of best...A real show, showing PUL.  Now that Alice...she really was "the greatest". It sure showed love and forgivness with exceptence. How sweet it was!


Alan, I have always said how I can't wait to get home again. Having been to a visit there, I did see a passed pet. Climbing up on to the couch, calmly waiting for me to get home.

Nanner said: I walked around my bed, heading towards the bathroom, when I noticed my dad (whom has crossed over 1998) I was somewhat shocked and I began to want to say something to him. He tells me: NO! Dont say a word, just watch. So I inturn, being Willi`s daughter naturally by birth not heeding parents words, open my mouth again and want to ask questions, whereby he tells me in a stirn voice "If you open your mouth one more time, then I will leave".

cool Nan, this brings up some research for me concerning obe. u know how he says "don't say a word, just watch?"  I'm comparing this to my obes and speaking out there in general.

I note its difficult to remember what was said either in a dream or obe. Im just studying obes of others too. not commenting on anything good or bad just want to learn all I can.

because I've determined whereever I go, it's a reality. I believe that really was your dad for instance, so that means you were in this sideral dimension where your "awareness" occupied a more finer vibrating body form no less real than physical dimension.

so I think about the inability to remember all details of the spoken words that went there and I conclude the spoken word utterance belongs to the brain segment of mind.
while telepathy is appropriate for the other dimension.
but we women like to talk  just kidding.  HOWever, we can talk and remember what we said out there in obe. I know, because I've started to piece together a conversation I had out there many years ago. more pieces come back today and it's interesting it took this long to remember as I had remembered only the jist of the thing, the general outline through the feelings that I was emoting as thought.

don't know if this makes sense. I think Nan was not quite developed enough in her new circumstance to be able to formulate the questions to dad that she wished to, and her spirit guide father wished to quieten her down so he could then show her something through images.  and he did, and she did as asked and now we know, we have jobs over there.

cool.  what I noticed is over there I/there, whatever, does talk. most of the talking I do.
and over the years I remember better, but surely not perfectly yet. and also there will sometimes be writing upon a paper; I will be able to remember only one or two words when I remember at the time trying to remember the complete sentence but failed in that. so perhaps it just takes time, and I can come back to ground level one and set an intention to retain more. thats the aim. Also it appears the telepathy when it operates flows nonstop back and forth like a wave, and it can be confusing who is thinking what.

so the images are far more conducive to generate communication between two people than the actual verbal content, in most cases. you had both verbal and image, which is pretty remarkable all in all.

Alysia, I must admitt IT STUCK WITH ME! I have never to my knowledge ever had an OBE. And if that was one, then hey, I wanna do that again

To me it was remarkable. I mean the light which woke me up so to speakat first I saw everything sort of thru a "sleepy eyed" self. (ya know, like when you just open up your peepers first thing in the morning.) Then I walk around the bed to the endpost so to be able to look straight into the bathroom, where I see my dad. THAT blew me away. (I immediately knew in my "whatever" - that he was deceased!)

I began to verbally want to "ask" questions and was basically told before I could utter a sound to shut up and watch. People (souls) with faces, bodies and movements and all were walking right by me down the hallway, just as if they were remodeling my bathrrom.

How all these people fit into my bathroom was one of my "amazed thoughts" . He stood in the bathroom and was handing them things as they walked by. Thats were he told me "we work over here" exactly in those words Alysia. He was smiling, looked younger and seemed very happy in his doings - . 

When I woke up in my bed fully conscious, I knew instantly that - that which I had seen was "real" - oh and I did forget to mention a very important point:
In this whatever..I stubbed my foot in the process and felt it hurt I didnt let is distract me though and the next morning my foot was bruised. That made me really start to think.

Love ya`ll bunches,
Nanner
