Afterlife Conversation by Harry

"I've been surrounded by the occult for ages -- since I was a child. I delved in without any mentor or anything, along with a group of friends that I led into it. The number of strange occurrences in my life are too numerous to really count, so I'll stick with one that will be easy to understand.

In April, 2000, my uncle was diagnosed with pretty much a terminal organ failure; he held on until August of that year (the location of the hospital I can't remember but he was in Florida and he used to live in Spring Hill.) I was living in California at the time, in Saugus.

The night before he died, I dreamed that I had a conversation with him -- not like a dream of a conversation, but a full conversation touching on every subject you could think of, including his impending death. He told me it was all going to be fine, that a lot of what we are taught is not true, merely what man has added to help explain the mysteries of the universe.

Anyhow, when I woke up I knew he was dead. Seconds later, my mom knocked on the door and told me. What she didn't tell me then was that he didn't die from his terminal condition, but from suicide. I don't care if you take the story with a grain of salt or not, but I know what I saw, felt, smelled, heard, and read in that dream. Consider it my proof to the world that there is an afterlife."

Karmalars...I have no problem with what you cited.  I feel sure that my true "home" is on the other side, not encased in this material world.  I recently read that one's guidance once equated death to the sun setting...a new dawn brings a new life and new opportunities, so why would we, as incarnate individuals, fear dying?  It will happen, as will rebirth, until we attain the ability to sustain ourselves as energetic beings independent of guidance.

[/quote] This material world is your true "home", so is the afterlife when you get there, and so on and so on. Don't believe me. Head for the roof level of a tall building........99.9% don't. They're just full of excuses!

I don't agree...to me our true existence is energetic, not encased in a body.  I believe while incarnate we reside in an illusion, however it is one I am not prepared yet to leave...nor do I see much point in "testing" it with a violent end to the illusion...I prefer to exit at my appointed time.   No excuses, simply have more to do while I am here...I don't understand the contentiousness you exhibit.
