Well, Griffin, the topic may be serious but the intention isn't grave. I think I've said enough. I know of several others who have had similar observations. To my surprise, the tunnel popped up in a blog some days ago. I'm not into all her posts, but there are some interesting ones:

I guess I just find this kind of information from that link confusing, along with other kinds of information which suggests to people that the white light is something to be avoided, that it is some kind of soul trap. As well as the idea that there might be those on the other side who pretend to be loved ones...

I don't really find that to be supported by the near death stories I have read. It is upsetting to think that people might be forced to return to the earth, no matter what condition it or its people are in. It causes me to wonder, what, is the other side too crowded that people "must" return to earth and can't simply advance on their own in the afterlife if they are not ready to populate a "higher" level.

I have been looking at this afterlife subject for years, hoping for some way to tie everything together. All I really know is that there is some kind of intelligence operating in my life.

That doesn't help to explain why we appear to be overcome by our own ruthlessness and exploitation of others/resources.

I read that when people came to the U.S. that they found a beautiful place because the natives had realized long before them how to live without ruining everything. They had killed off most of the large game and realized they had to live another way, at some point in the past. Not that they were perfect little angels, but they were trying to move past the blatant urge to treat the earth like a disposable commodity.

I guess I am full of questions right now. That can be annoying sometimes.

But, I awoke from a dream in which I was finding happiness in speaking to someone I haven't talked to in a very long time. It was on someone's phone, which was a big old-fashioned looking thing, and I heard this person's name and immediately insisted to the owner of the phone that I just needed to say hello. So we talked for a bit, my old friend and me.

Then, I was thinking of the place we used to live in a nostalgic way. It was immediately there, in a slightly altered form, but my mind was telling me "familiar, familiar" and it was a good feeling. When I awoke it was going to slip away instantly, that memory, but I remembered.

I had been becoming lucid in the dream, and wanted to examine everything, when my alarm went off. I was feeling the wood of a bureau, feeling its hardness, and looking at the items scattered on top of it.

If it was an illusion, purely created from my mind, what can that tell me about the belief system territories on the other side? I wonder.

If I am drifting off topic, I apologize. What I am struggling with is the idea that it is much more difficult to make sense of things while in a fully operating "system" -- to change one's focus and direction and to fully use one's creative powers -- when in a fully operating system -- as opposed to wiping the slate clean and starting over. Just erasing it. That is very freeing, but then you might kind of miss some of the elements of the previous more chaotic time.

So, maybe that is part of what we are learning here. If we move on to become creators of complex systems in our own right, perhaps this earth experience is just the ticket. It may be what we need to help us understand from inside the system just exactly what it feels like to live under those conditions.

If we had "godlike" powers, wouldn't we need to know what we were doing to our creations?

Thank you for your reply. I kind of understand what you are saying, about as much as I understand anyone. Sometimes I find this planet so frustrating. It is as if we are all speaking foreign languages with each other, with a hit and miss understanding. 

At times I think the world of our dreams, in sleep, is more real than the one I wake up to. And that thought is strangely comforting.

Thank you, T'ressa. Such a good idea. I must remember to go within.

Seagull:

At this moment I don't have time to read everything you wrote, but are you talking about the Knight lady who says she channels Ramtha? If so, I wouldn't worry about what she says.

Seagull-

What you said is probably the most important of all. Some of us spend so much time and effort researching and wondering about the afterlife.  If only we had the same commitment to finding and fulfilling the purpose of our own life here and now.

We need to realize we already won the lottery by being born!  For that we should be thankful each day.

In spite of what some people say, no one really knows what the afterlife is like or what happens after death.  Our life can be greatly enriched by focusing on helping others where we can, and trusting that a good life is its own reward and that what will be, will be.

Your message shows lots of wisdom.

You are right. Appreciation makes all the difference.  If all of your day, or week, or year is bad, then you are not looking for the good stuff, the beauty, the love, the sunshine, the thousand little things that make life worth living.

Sending Love,
T'ressa

Bruce can you elaborate a little more on this?

Earth life can be mighty boring too... Whats the REAL difference?

There is so much suffering going on here on Earth....

Are we actually forced to incarnate? Like a "wheel of reincarnation" type scenario?

I guess I am asking questions about the mechanics of how it works.... Are we just thrown into life in a mechanical sense or do we CHOOSE? AND- How certain are you of this?

How much free-will choice is involved in physically incarnating?
