When Friends and Relatives pass away

 I tend to do better than many people do when friends and relatives pass away? Why?

Because I almost died so many times in my life that I became someone who lives in both worlds. In Cultural Anthropology (at least in 1972) in my textbook they call someone who has died psychologically but not physically A Shaman. This was the definition of a Shaman back then. Has it changed? I think it depends upon who you talk to.

However, when you have almost died enough times you sort of get used to being dead as a normal Experience.

What do I mean by this?

I mean that you never fully believe that you are still alive because you are sort of in permanent shock from almost dying so many times.

However, we also have people like Saint Francis of Asisi who went from wartime PTSD to Sainthood. His story is one of the most famous stories of Saints and who San Francisco is named after.

So, what do I have to say about Death?

I don't see death as death but sort of more like Going to sleep where you wake up in another form (your soul) only without your body (your physical body anymore).

Are most people prepared for this?

I don't think most people are prepared for passing on anymore than people are prepared for falling off a cliff by accident into the ocean.

Let me share a Soul Traveling experience I had likely around the early 1970s.

At that time God had begun allowing me to travel all over the Galaxy in my soul body with angels.

However, one day I decided to go beyond the Galaxy.

and my experience of this was "the Terror of Death" I guess.

What I didn't realize before this is that we humans are a part of the organism which is the Galaxy just like we physically are a part of the organism Earth. Not understanding either of these things can get you into trouble like this did me.

So, imagine you go out beyond the galaxy and what was it like as a soul?

It was literally like being dropped out of a helicopter naked with no stars in the sky at night in the middle of an ocean with no lands or islands near by.

I completely freaked out and immediately came back to my body here on earth that I was soul traveling from.

However, since then hanging around Tibetan lamas and monks who often understood things like this I see all this much differently now.

However, most people sort of deal with death (especially if it is sudden without warning) sort of like me going beyond the galaxy and freaking out.

However, if people have enough time to prepare for their passing it is better on the other side for them.

Like when I accidentally? walked outside of my body in the desert and didn't realize it until my arm went through the wall to the bathroom and then I freaked out because I was very afraid of dying then.

However, then I calmed myself down by realizing what I had read about what you do which is to go lay down into your body once again and join with it (if it is still alive).

So, understanding that you have a soul and that your body is more like a Car you drive around in more than anything else is really helpful when or if you pass on suddenly.

If you understand you have a soul then you can call the angels to come get you like your friends and relatives that have passed on that you trust when you pass on.
