 Notes on Between Death & Life

Chapter 9: GOD & JESUS 

GOD:                         

    Our inner visualization of what God must be like is conditioned by our religious upbringing & this is usually what we fall back on.  Changing our preconceptions is very difficult.  It requires an open mind that is at least willing to listen to different ideas.  When we strip away the brainwashing & conditioning & look at things with a fresh mind, it is amazing how they do not contradict at all.  They are merely different ways of saying the same thing.

• God is neither male nor female.  God has no gender.
• God is a huge energy that is beyond belief in its power & scope.

Below are answers from different individuals who were asked how they perceived God in the spirit state between lives, while in deep hypnotic trance:

• In all creation (every universe) there is a force, unseen but there nonetheless, which is an invisible structure holding everything together.
• Example: Like the rebar in concrete that hold up massive buildings, you cannot see it but it is there holding the concrete together.
• Our language is not sufficient to describe the true picture of what this entity sees in the spirit realm.
• There are parts of the spectrum that cannot be seen with human eyes.  Colors & the appearance of cosmic rays that we cannot see.  It is extremely beautiful & powerful.  There is a whole wide array of colors which can even be observed by sound, that are all part of the same electromagnetic spectrum that make up the universes.
• Sound has color but is much, much slower than what we perceive as "light".  But they are all vibrations & energy that you can see in spirit.
• Ether can also be seen.  It is also very beautiful.  Similar to observing aurora borealis.
• It fills the universe, there is no empty space.  It is all interconnected with different colors mixing with each other.  It's very complex.
• Vibrations, colors, energy that go through everything.  It flows through everything.
• This universe is connected with the other universes.
• The energy has always been there.  She does not really know the source.  Perhaps there was a source at one time.  Yet this energy is what the universes are built out of.  And when the universes have lived their lives, they'll be broken back down into this energy.  And then new universes will be built out of this energy again.
• All that there is: is energy.
• As the energy fluctuates - as energy does - the various universes come into existence as fluctuations of this energy.
•  The fluctuations vary from the extremely large & gigantic to the very teensy tiniest fluctuation possible.  
• Scientists on earth won't ever discover the limits of this.  They will never get down to the very basic structure.
• Energy is organized.
• One of the major things in the next stage of human development is to realize that everyone is in charge of their own fate.

Viewpoint of another entity: 

• Spirits from the higher dimensions sometimes return to your dimension & help those on the physical world to raise awareness.
• This is not a physical type of experience.
• This is done by the councils who govern the universes.
• Each universe has a central council, and then there are local councils.
• There are many different universes.
• In each universe there are goverment-like levels which govern the individual & collective universes.
• There are councils delegated.  God does not bother with this.  Beings under God do the work, so to say.  There is a chain of command.
• Consider God as merely an observer of His children in their tasks.
• The concept of God is the sum of all, of everything.  We are God.  We are collectively God.  We are individual pieces of God.  God is not one, but God is all.
• All the universes put together make God.
• Each universe does have the awareness of God, although the awareness would be different in different universes as well as different areas in one universe.  Their concept of God would be different.
• The reality of God is unchanging in all universes, in all creation.  
• God is, we are a part  of God individually.  But all of us together taken as a whole is what God is.
• The force that created everything is merely a manifestation of God.
• Dividing off from God is merely a part of the over-all plan:  the grand, divine plan which only God Himself knows in fullness.  Many know small details, but none except God Himself knows in completeness.
• What we perceive as imperfect is merely our perceptions.
• It is not necessarily so when viewed on the God level.
• To know Him is to love Him the more, knowing that He loves us for our imperfections as well as for our perfections.
• Analogy (God is  not separate from us.  He is intimately joined with us):  The blood system in the human body, which is made up of individual cells or aspects.  The system itself could not be whole without the individual hemoglobins & so forth.  However, each hemoglobin is not complete without being in the system.  Thus all is one & one is all.  Each cannot exist without the other.

JESUS:

    Saying Jesus was the son of God is a very gross simplification, for God is not human.  Jesus was an emissary from another level of spiritual reality which is much closer to God than we are.  He was from a level which no man before had ever been from.

• Jesus was with God and a part of God before He came to Earth.

  • Our spirits are a part of God also

  *There have been other emissaries like Jesus in the past.

  *There were those who were, you might say, street people who were not as well-known but were from that same plane.  

  *They all served their purpose admirably.  They were not as well-known as Jesus.

  *Jesus was killed by human hands and human will, and not by divine destiny.  It was His choosing to put Himself into man's destiny.
• No man took His life; He laid it down of His own will.

Did He die in order to prove to men that they could live again? 

• Literally, no.  Figuratively, yes.
• He simply placed His well-being into the hands of men and allowed them to do as they would.
• His motives are His own  & I will not try to second-guess them.
• If he were alive today a similar situation might occur where He would be falsely accused & sent through the criminal justice system & executed by injection [or whatever means is most common in that area at that time].
• A much broader understanding is needed to understand the whole life & Jesus experience.

Holy Ghost

    In the Old Testament there are frequent references to the Holy Ghost.  In the New Testament it is more frequently called the Holy Spirit.  There is an indication that this is a spirit from God that is available to help people.  I'd like to know some more about it & how it works:

• This spirit is of an energy nature - somewhat more of a life force than a life form.  Perhaps to say, more of the sustaining life.
• That is, the essence of life itself as opposed to the personality which is full of this life.
• It is the sustaining element of personal awareness, or personality on your level.
• So basically, the spirit of life itself.

Blog 10: Notes on Between Death & Life Chapter 8_GUIDES

Notes on Between Death & Life
Chapter 8: Guides

* Almost every culture in the world has beliefs in guardian angels or         protector spirits.
* There are guardian spirits (A.K.A. Guides, Guardian Angels, Helpers)
           * They are usually someone that you have had a close bond with before & they are attending                         school or whatever on spirit plane.
   * They help you through your learning period on the physical plane.
   * They help protect you.
   * They serve their purpose on the spirit level.
   * They can choose their own affinities (who to guide).
   * They are often with you from the day you are born.
          * Aloneness is a walling off of one’s self away from others.

 * There are those who, after an incarnation, must go to spirit school to be a teacher or a                 guide.
           * Some spirits become teachers in schools on the spirit plane.
           * Some are a guide to someone on the physical plane.
 * Most of the time, the spirits that surround you have your best interests at heart, but you                must learn to protect yourself from negative entities & energies.
           * Surround yourself with what is positive & good.
           * Your personal guide is powerful enough to help keep other influences away.
           * There is no good or bad, only positive or negative
           * Any experience that is learned is never negative.
   * How to tell if a spirit or influence is positive or negative:
           * If you see that things will go wrong, then you know that this entity does NOT wish you well.
           * If advice comes from your guide, it will feel very right.
   * Your guide(s) feel as if they are a part of yourself & an extension.
               * They do not run the show from the sidelines.
               * It is a mutual, consensus agreement, a partnership between spiritual & physical.
               * They do their work, and you do yours.
       * Many decisions are purely human & based on human thought, experience & concept.
       * Guides assist with their wisdom & experience.
       * They are merely there to offer help & assist, if we choose/ when asked.
               * You are the master of your destiny!
       * Guides & helpers do not try to influence but to assist or enlighten.
   * Please do not feel you must help everyone all the time.
           * Feel only that you should help when you feel you want to help.
           * Forced help is worse than no help at all!
       * Example 1:  A child gets into some poison.  You would not want the child to drink the poison,                         so you try to assist in letting them know & preventing them from drinking it, but if the child                          persists then it is on them.
       * Example 2:  You are driving & unaware of a car that is on a collision path with you.  The                                     steering wheel jerks, avoiding the collision.  You do the steering, the guide(s) merely                                         inform you.  They warn you, but you take action & choose for yourself.
   * Those on the astral plane are often amused by the impetuousness & impatience of humans.
           * A thought on the spirit plane makes things occur instantaneously.
           * On Earth we are given much more time between thinking & materialization of thought, so we                     have a chance to change our mind.
                               *Intent is the most important thing about what we wish to materialize.

* The relationship between guide & guided is fluid & changes from incarnation 

      to incarnation, and even within a single incarnation, as needed.
           * There is no rigid set rule.
           * Means are dictated by the need.
       * Guides are selected by the need at that period in a person’s life.
               * Sometimes a guide is with you your entire life.
               * Others may be temporary or may come & go as needed.
                       * Their functions change as our lives change.

* Counselor - higher order than a guide; has more knowledge & experience; has usually been            removed from an incarnation for some time & is drawn in for information
           * A guide may know more of the physical
           * A counselor may know more detail

    * Analogy:  Like a school in the physical realm, the guide is like our classroom teacher who knows             us more personally & the counselor is like our principal who is more removed from the situation but        very knowledgeable & objective.
   * Guides will speak to you when it is necessary or relevant.
   * There are no names in the spirit realm.  It is best to know a guide more by vibrations.
           * There are only sounds, vibrations, and colors in the spirit realm.

VIDEO - Dolores Cannon on Guardian Angels:

   * It is possible for anyone to become a guide.
           * Depends solely on how you develop your karma.
           * Depends on an individual’s development.
           * Once you have attained a particular spiritual plane, you can either be a guide or sit on                                  the general council [Chapter 13] depending on which way you need to develop.

* When you cross over, the energy patterns are perfectly clear & you can tell right away where someone is compatible & where they fit in & what level they are at & what they can do.  And that is what you give them to do.  You give it to them in such a way that it helps them to grow & develop so they can attain new abilities.
                   * Since everything is energy, everything is done according to how you fit in with the energy
                   * It takes a certain amount of built up energy for you to re-enter the physical plane.

* When it is time for you to go back to the physical plane, the general council comes in & determines when, where, and to whom you are born on the physical plane
       * They will choose according to what is compatible with your energy & surrounding energy.
       * You will be put back in contact with those from other lifetimes, & hence you come up with                         linked karmas. 

* When you decide it’s time for you to re-enter the physical plane, once you make that decision, it is set in motion.
    * Analogy:  It is like pouring water down a water slide.  Once the water is poured down the slide, it              cannot go back or stop.  It can only be recollected after it has come off the bottom of the slide. 

* Stillborn Babies:  In such a situation, the parents bearing the baby need that experience in their               lives at that point for their own development of their karma.

* In situations where one dies when they are very young:

    * usually spirits that are advanced enough to occasionally go to the physical plane, not necessarily                 because they need to work out an aspect of their karma, but to help out someone else’s                             karma.

    * They do it to help them when for some reason the other person’s karma will be benefited by just                 having a particular spirit within the realm of their lives for a short duration.
                   * More advanced spirits volunteer to go to the physical plane for a short period of time to                                  help give another spirits’ karma a nudge.

Blog 9: Notes on Between Death & Life, Ch. 7_SO-CALLED "BAD" LIVES

 Notes on Between Death & Life

Chapter 7:  So-Called "Bad" Lives

"The one absolute true & loving GOD, who is the master of all universes, is not a vengeful & hateful God.  There is no such God in any universe."

• The concept of karma is an effect, it is not a cause.  This definition is given through careful consideration as to why things happen.
  • You must look at soul's progression with an extended view, then you would see how varied lifetimes are.  Not all are easy, not all are hard, but each lifetime is what is appropriate for that individual at that time.
  •  The lesson is the fruit of the lifetime & not how easy or difficult it is.
  • Purpose of reincarnation is to learn more; the purpose of living again is not to correct, but to add to. 
  • Experiences of life & rebirth should be viewed with a more positive outlook; learning & loving, not punishment & sorrow.
  • Your attitude makes all the difference.  That which you create, you live & that which you live, you create.

  THERE ARE NO GOOD OR BAD SPIRITS, ONLY EVOLVING SPIRITS.
  • People have "bad" lives because they are not dealing with their problems.
  • Life has to be worked at, you must face your problems.
  • You chose your problems before coming to Earth.
  • No matter how far down a soul seems to go, there is always room to bring them out of it; by work, preparation & facing issues

  To strive to be perfect is the lesson.
  • It is important to learn what is not perfect, to help us know what is perfect

  No one wishes to remain in physical form any longer than they have to, for it is not our true state of being.
  • Lessons which most rapidly increase learning & growth are the ones most cherished & sought after

  •   You are NOT required to experience bad, but it does help us to more fully understand what is good.
  • Look upon others who are in a most negative state with compassion because they are learning.
  • Disharmony is a lesson that makes us more fully appreciate & comprehend that which is of a harmonious nature.

  There most certainly is punishment: you are your own judge & jury
  • the worst punishment is that which we deal ourselves
    
  Even good things can become bad if you overindulge in them.
  • There are situations where awareness can become clouded from overindulgence so that insight has been lost, and awareness of the scope of your problem cannot be appreciated.
  • Then it is necessary for a higher order to assist the individual in appropriating those experiences necessary for clearing of the entity's awareness.
  • Before incarnating, we are warned by Masters of losing sight of one's path & the risk of overindulging is explained.
  • Before incarnating, you choose your path using information from Akashic records & universal truths.  But it is our choice in the end (you decide when, how, and what problems you will face).

   Sin - doing what you know is wrong (this is a concept developed by mankind)
  • doing harm when you are unaware is a lesser sin
    
  • man differs from animal due to conscience
  • You must learn to be aware of your fellow beings, to the point that you don't want to hurt them.  Their pain is your pain.

  Bible started as the word of God & still is to an extent, but everyone warps it by their viewpoint; it is still a noble book but transcription was somewhat faulted & has 
  in-accuracies
  • Good & truth can be found in many religious texts
  • You must sift through them to find what is your truth to discover.
  • It is not an easy path to be different.
  • Questioning is encouraged, for in it you will find truth & it will sustain you.

  By being close-minded you lose much of the experience of life.  
  • For in all paths there lies truth and in all paths there lies falsehood.
  Criminals
  •  taught function, usually caused by neglect and/or abuse
    
  •  from spiritual standpoint, no such thing since it is a social phenomenon; these people are seen as stepping out of social boundaries
  • doing harm retards one's forward progress
  • manifestation of spiritual imbalance
   Murder
•  lengthens physical portion of karmic cycles (more time, more lives on earth)
  • Way of repaying this type of karmic debt:  
  • next life is cut short (disease, accident)
  • return as victim's servant or protector
  • born into family with victims (working karma out by love)
  • It can take several lifetimes to repay karma of killing someone violently, in the heat of passion.

  Incarnating too soon, before you are fully prepared or have learned all you need to, often happens with those who think the physical world is all there is (tied to earth).
  • those who are ill-prepared & come back too soon, come back disorganized; they tend to make a mess of their life

  Sometimes if a spirit does not seem to want to change, they are sent to a special place between lifetimes, like a retreat or monastery or hospital, to help them learn & grow.
  • different plane for working out special problems
  • very delicate balance & done very carefully; takes a long time
    
  • requires highly advanced spirits to work with souls in these places, which use something like psychotherapy
  • Example: Adolph Hitler (sent to retreat portion)
  • his problems began when his father prevented him from having a creative outlet, since he was a creative genius his creativity turned to destruction
  • nerves jangled, warped outlook on life, his mind became twisted
  • must learn constructive forms for his creative energies
    
  • Another example: Suicide 
  • truly one of the saddest truths that exists
  • breaking of soul contract(s)
  • causes complete disharmony
  • not forgiven lightly, ultimate wrong, throws much out of balance
  • never a part of karma but an aspect of free will

  In all actions, whether good or bad, there are lessons learned (many learned by all involved).
  

  • Trauma & how one handles a bad situation does not so much depend on age/experience, so much as their understanding of the Christ in all-self 
  • Once a person has lived a full life & served their purpose/mission, then should they wish to pass over they can leave the physical realm.

Blog 8: Notes of Between Death & Life Chapter 6_DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EXISTENCE

Chapter 6: Different Levels of Existence

Astral Level 7 School - here souls learn about different stages that are occurring on Earth; how to take on daily experiences in life & make them worthwhile, enjoyable & count; learn to help people become knowledgeable so they can take the necessary steps forward  

• help open up spiritual leaders, inventors & those of influence

• help them through dreams, meditation, and such

• this is the level where inventions, music & creative influences come from; those in the spirit realm don't care who does the actual creating, as long as it is done when the time is right

• As one advances in the planes, one broadens one's awareness & becomes closer to God.
  
• You can develop spiritually & physically.  It is not necessary to incarnate to advance, but it is more efficient.
• Ultimate Goal: to be one with God; join with God again & reach perfection
• If you do not incarnate (stay as spirit), you can develop in other ways:
• helping & assisting incarnate beings
• being a guide, teacher, helper or friend on the spirit planes
• We are ascendant beings (running the marathon) & angels are the stationary assistants (handing out water & towels in the marathon of existence).
• There are many schools on each level: schools of light, schools of thought

Elementals - composed of pure emotions & energies; basic energy; no individual personalities but collective life forms (group spirit)

• They can be directed so they tend to be influenced quite easily (swayed one way or another)

Animals - usually have group spirits; usually do not have personalities; they are life forces in body form

• An animal's spirit can separate from the group spirit & become an individual soul & begin the process of growing spiritually
• This happens due to love.  Humans showing love to an animal gives it a personality.  Love helps it to separate & makes it more individualistic.  This raises their consciousness.

VIDEO: Dolores Cannon on Animals

 

Protectors of Nature or Nature Spirits (Trees, Hills, Water, Air, Animals, and so forth)

• Each has a tree or type of plant to protect, or an animal group spirit to protect (school of fish, flock of birds, herd of cattle)
• more mischief than intelligence, though they are basically very kindhearted
  
• sprites, dryads, fairies, leprechauns, elves, and so forth
  
• When these spirits appear in dreams or manifest in person (which is rare), it is to help prevent the abuse of nature & its creatures.
• They are tested to learn how to take care of nature.  When they have learned to do that, then they can go on to take care of themselves.
• People who are very in tune with the Earth often remember and/or are fascinated by these protectors/fairies.  If you are clairvoyant, you can see that all nature has its spirits taking care of its endless tasks.
• They do not experience death.  They just individualize more.
• They are programmed so as not to create anything negative.  

 

                                                        VIDEO: Dolores Canon on Nature Spirits, Pixies, Gnomes, Dryads

Note: Most of our current daily living on Earth occurs on Level 5.

• Humans are no longer allowed to devolve to animals (it was allowed eons ago, in the beginning), but can sometimes go back to being Nature Spirits
• The resting place has no level.

 

Levels 8 & 9 - Ascended Masters, Great Masters; Avatar (demigod who comes to Earth in bodily form), Master Teacher (Jesus), Bodhisattvas in Buddhism

• Very rarely do these beings incarnate, except to help raise people's awareness
• a special dispensation is given to those who would do this
• Even the greatest of avatars/demigods can possibly be tempted.
• Example:  It is like a child going a very long time without candy, and then being offered some.  It is hard to resist & they will most likely gorge themselves.
• Example:  Jesus being tempted by the "devil" in the Bible (he is battling with his own inner self)

 

Info from another source regarding levels & planes:

• Different planes occupy the same space.
  
  • You exist on the physical plane, yet spiritual aspects of yourself have reflections on the spiritual planes
  • Same location on Earth, but different frequencies
  • Example:  A radio (vibrations that come through it occupy same space & time, but differing frequencies) 

  *You can become aware dimly (like though a veil) of higher planes through meditation, prayer, hypnosis, sleep state/dreaming because a part of your frequency changes enough to interact with another plane of existence (intermediary planes).
  *You go as far as your understanding & comprehension allows you.
  *Your mind is the barrier.  You go as far as you've been able to open your mind & understand.
  * No distinct boundaries.  Example: Like going through the layers of Earth's atmosphere.
  *There are countless planes.  Some have special purposes & others are just general
• The more one progresses, the more positive your karma becomes.
• Concerning levels of creation (elementals vs. nature spirits vs. humans...):  there are no higher or lower levels, just different vibrations of energy or spirits; different living forces operate according to different rules; energy rules apply differently & operate differently
• There is no purgatory ( the nearest thing to it would be the resting place)
  
• There is no hell (this is merely what people perceive when transitioning after they die; sometimes there are negative energies they accumulate during their life which will be waiting there for them when they die, hence the need to heal in the resting place)
  • When you are young & innocent you are protected from negative energies, until you reach the age of discernment - when one is able to tell right from wrong (which varies according to each individual's development; as young as 5 or as old as 12 or thereabouts)
  • The mentally retarded & severely handicapped remain innocent their entire lives. 
  • Religion was corrupted into a political or power play, such that what was spiritual became a tool for the sublimation of the masses in order to control their behavior.
    

Blog 7: Notes on Between Death & Life Chapter 5_THE GRAND TOUR

 Notes on Between Death & Life 

(by Dolores Cannon)

Chapter 5: The Grand Tour

Temple of Wisdom Complex

Note: Information in this book was obtained by subjects in trance who found themselves in the spirit form when they were in the so-called "dead" state between lives.

The Temple of Healing

• Description:  beautiful round rotunda, brilliant lights coming through gem windows located high on ceiling; blues, reds, greens, yellows, oranges, turquoises, every color but black & white; all colors of rays of light going down to floor; there is a guardian to greet you & walk you through the process; many souls are accompanied by guides and/or loved ones (greeters).
  
• Process:  stand in the center of the rotunda, in the center of all the light, and let this energy be with you; light swirls around you, feel the lights cleansing you, ecstatic feeling, rejuvenated, waves of color & energy take out pain & soreness
• Souls are taken here after they pass/die so that their astral & spiritual bodies may be rejuvenated and healed.
• Lots of souls waiting for their turn in the "Chamber of Color & Light".  Not many people afford themselves of this opportunity while in the astral traveling state, so they let him go first.
• He is told by the guardian that it is very important to keep a positive sense & be aware that his spiritual mission is to help and serve other people.
• Don't worry about health problems.  Concentrate on the form you would like to manifest & you will be that manifestation.
• The use of alcohol & tobacco inhibit spiritual growth.  They are painful for your body & your spirit.  
• If you ever need to visit again, just wish to be here & you will be here.
• Most of the people in line for the temple of healing suffered from long-term illnesses before they died (such as cancer) or suffered immensely before passing over (such as a car crash).
• This is one of the first places souls are taken after they pass over, if they suffered greatly in their life or at their death.
• These etheric bodies have to be healed before they can progress into the astral and work in this level.  Then they are reunited with all their guides & loved ones who usher them into different areas of the astral realm.
• This is an opportune place for all souls to gather, whether incarnate or discarnate.
• Many people who use psychic healing powers should project this image, for they can be healed in this area.
• Hypnotherapists can guide their subjects into this healing temple, where the guardians will then take over & help them.  It is a great service for all those who need it.
• By giving & sharing this knowledge & ability, you are also able to grow spiritually.
• The soul body, not the conscious vehicle, is dealt with in the Temple of Healing.  The soul is the master & understands what is going on, it knows the law there.  If they are willing and need healing, it is granted. No one becomes dependent on this energy.
  

Tapestry Room

• He then walks down a beautiful corridor (lapis lazuli & marble) & at the end is a big door-way, entering into a dazzling bright light (the Guardian of the Tapestry room causes the bright light).
• Description of Room: dazzling bright light, wonderful aroma, beautiful room, very tall (about 100 feet high or so), ceiling has a rounded point like a church nave, windows at the top of either side of the walls, chandeliers hanging down that look similar to Aladdin's lamps (20-30), marble walls & floor, heavy furniture (like groups of chairs & tables) opposite tapestry that are functional, comfortable & inviting
• Sometimes teachers bring their students here to explain the wonders and intricacies of the tapestry to them.
  
• Description of Tapestry: beautiful, metallic, gorgeous, glimmer & shine, looks like it breathes, some strands glisten more while others are more dull, it is like a living thing, all different types of thread, glorious, unlike anything on Earth, vibrant, almost electric; 20-25 feet tall, goes on at each end seemingly forever; each thread varies from a tiny string to a thick cable or rope, all different colors, the black ones seem to stand out & be shorter (these are special because they have chosen an unusual path, an unusual way of manifesting); one of the most glorious works of art in all creation
  
• Each thread in the tapestry represents a lifetime.
• The tapestry illustrates perfectly how each life is interwoven, the absolute oneness of humanity, and how each life cannot exist without the other and they all intertwine and influence each other.
• You can only go so far along the tapestry, you are limited by how evolved you are spiritually.
  
• These are the Akashic Records that advanced souls understand (book form is for less advanced souls), for it contains much higher dimensions (going up to Godhood).
• Some come to the tapestry room in the astral state when they dream, some use meditation, or hypnosis, but usually souls are disincarnate (dead) when they visit.
• Behind the tapestry is your sense of time and you can find a cord and go through time.  Most people do not need to know about their future while they are still in the body, unless they are going to use the knowledge for a spiritual course.
• Nothing can be disguised or hidden.  They know your motives better than you know them yourself, so no one can enter if they have negative intentions.
• If you want spiritual growth, it's easier to go through the earth school than to incarnate on other dimensions.  It's quicker. [In other words, earth is more challenging than most other dimensions and overcoming those challenges allows for much more spiritual growth].

Library

• Description:  precious stones (that shine with their own light) on all the mantels & doors, huge study area (cathedral sized), book & scrolls everywhere, all types of manuscripts; room made of gold, silver & precious stones; whole building made of wondrous material, a rotunda; scholarly place, everyone there has a sense of purpose; music fills the place with a pretty, light, barely audible tinkling
  
• The Guardian of the Library has always been eager to help in quest for knowledge.
• There are some restrictions to what knowledge you are allowed access.  Mainly that it is not good to delve too much into your personal futures, it causes disharmony.
• There are some that come here while dreaming (astral travel, but usually foggy), very few are incarnate souls (hypnosis, meditation).
• Viewing Rooms - located around perimeter of library, used to view things, info is relayed by the power of thought; picture surrounds you (much like being in a hologram)
  
• Scriptorium - place where things are read; this is where people who relate to writings & readings like to go
• The tapestry is NOT touchable, but whatever is necessary for a soul's growth is allowed (so you can write in or on the books & scrolls).
• Branch libraries are located among the lower astral world, but hardly ever used by lower entities in physical form.

 

Astral World

• divided into 3 parts: lower, middle, and upper astral planes

• Lower Astral Plane - do not have bodies, tied to earth, violent, brutal, enjoy others pain & suffering, degenerates, very low vibrational rate (dense), hell-like, addiction(s) & lust still control them; they have to watch the physical world, interact with it, learn from it; some are almost beastly; stuck there until they learn to reincarnate & grow spiritually (sometimes repeating similar situations over & over)
• This is why it is very important to pray for your loved ones who have passed over to this realm.  Praying for them will help them to see the light.
• When it is time for them to be processed, their guide takes them to the computer room.  There they are re-evaluated, shown how they can make a transformation for themselves, and matched to an incarnation (for an example, someone who overindulges might be assigned to a life of starvation in Ethiopia).  Only spirit guides can take souls here when they are ready, no one else is allowed access (all souls go here before incarnating)
  
• This process will all change very shortly because Earth is becoming too highly evolved for these spirits.  They had their chances here, so next they will be shipping them out to the planets near Arturis.
• Middle Astral Plane - mid-level souls here;  majority of souls are here; they like to manifest themselves in happy situations with their families that have crossed over; similar to earth with houses & a huge lake, pretty landscapes (like suburban America); manifest whatever they want there; these souls have a hard time adjusting to the astral world; not advanced souls, they are there waiting for their next lifetime (often in no hurry to go); these souls are still earth associated, they want to retain their familiar life-style (birds of a feather flock together); much family karma takes place in later incarnations because of the attachments here  
• Upper Astral Plane - gorgeous place with the most beautiful scenery you could imagine (gardens, mountains, oceans, streams, lakes, waterfalls); beautiful jewel-like city where the Temple of Wisdom is located; mountains surrounding temple is where some upper-astral entities live; this is the place most like Heaven; everything is exquisite, scents are marvelous, feels like nature reaches out to love you, flowers are jewel-like perfection, intensity of colors is breath-taking;  it is all perfect & eternal; earth is a poor imitation of this place
  
• much more choice here, knowledge is freedom
• Souls from upper astral are given priority service to computer room (huge computer processing center) because they are processed through quickly.
• There are more advanced grades above upper astral plane.  These souls usually do not incarnate, unless for a very important mission (ex. Jesus & Buddha)
• They have much more important missions to work with in the universal plan.
• Those who go beyond the upper astral go into spiritual rejuvenation and learning to be a universal spirit.
• Our eventual goal:  perfection; we increase; to return to the source/God/Creator
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed
• Energy changes form in its drive back to its source
• By the time it reaches it's source, it is of the same energy.
• The most advanced souls may be able to return to source in about 10 lifetimes (extremely rare), but on average it takes about 120 lifetimes.  For some it can take 400, 500 or even 600 lifetimes!

Blog 6: My Notes on Between Death & Life Chapter 4_THE SCHOOLS

 My Notes on:  Between Death & Life (By Dolores Cannon)

Chapter 4: The Schools

●      School of Knowledge - lasting light, very peaceful, very restful, very calm, very nice place to be; similar to earth but a different plane of existence; like a big hall with classrooms off of it; you can see anything you want to see, just by visualizing it (except landscape, which is earth-like); different energy level with different laws governing it; there are planes of incarnation like it (not earth now, though)

○      AKA Paradise - a perfected earth

○      Other, Heaven - the higher planes, where everything is energy (above earth, above paradise/perfected earth)

■      When you are in the higher planes (heaven) you can look into the lower planes very easily and see the physical planes and see what’s going on.  There are no surroundings, no horizons.

■      Things must be perceived and comprehended in order.  You have to prepare at the school of knowledge before going to higher levels so that you can assimilate them more fairly.

○      At the school of knowledge, you learn by looking at & evaluating things that happened while on earth; not hampered by worldly influences

○      You get help if you need it.  If you search or ask a question, all things come & it is there.  Spiritual Masters help & each class has several.  They teach you to study one’s self.

■      An example of what she learned: “You see, in life I tilted my judgment to fit, for whatever reason usually to make me feel justified in my actions.  And here I can analyze, so I go through the situation again to get a truer perspective of what really happened.  I try to understand why I acted and reacted in such a way so as not to repeat previous errors.”

●      When you go through something on Earth, be it good, be it bad, the important thing is your attitude, the way you accept it.

●      Self-deception - people can’t be honest & can’t look at things; they make excuses for why they do things & justify it & twist it until they’ve lost all truth

●      Your spirit knows what things you need to learn & then it creates situations without you really being aware of what’s going on.

●      You never completely get it, but you can perfect it & try it (like putting something in a furnace & refining it).

●      When it comes to experiencing Earth; after living many, many lives you think there is nothing else to learn, but each time you learn something new.

●      There is NO RULE THAT YOU HAVE TO INCARNATE.  It is up to the life force involved.  You can stay & learn, or go back (after so much peace & rest, you are ready for the challenges of life again)

●      The teachers and masters help you decide the major decisions & happenings of your next incarnation.

●      You are what you are, what you’ve done, what you’ve said, what you’ve thought, how you’ve lived and handled every situation.  You are a sum total of all these things.

●      The predestiny you see is your own, not determined by God.  The predestination you perhaps see if your future is entirely your own because you choose which path you will take (including higher self or oversoul

●      You can make soul contracts with 2, 3, or even a whole group of people & can even incarnate together (like in a family)

●      It would be very difficult to function in the everyday world if you remembered your connections & past lives.  The memories would bombard you, distract you, and make it hard to focus on the lessons you have to work out, in this lifetime.  The memories are still there, in your subconscious.  That is why you often feel that you should do this, instead of that. 

●      The development of hypnosis (and other such medical techniques) has been allowed more recently as a way of finding out about some past karma so that the people involved with this can progress even more swiftly.  That has to do partly with entering the AGE OF AQUARIUS.

●      Karma - the universal law of balance, of cause & effect, where everything both good & bad must be repaid or balanced out

○      Karma means loving

●      All souls have been around for the same degree [time].  Some choose to incarnate more often than others (AKA: “Old Soul”).  Some are young in terms of Earthly experience (new to Earth, but could be an old soul from a different realm(s)).

●      Earth is not the only realm of consciousness.

●      Why is it necessary to incarnate?  It is stronger, more personal if you are experiencing or living the problems. You can learn all you can about something by reading, but unless you have the “hands-on” experience it doesn’t do you a bit of good.  It is hard, but it will remain with you.  Through practice you understand the procedure and results more fully.

●      Even for a soul in heaven, it is difficult to remember all the lives you have lived (she said it all blurred together, and she lost track after about 50).

●      Akashic Records (Book of Life; Records of Life) - a record of what you have done;  turn the pages & it reflects what you look for;  if another looks in it, it reflects what they look for; used to withdraw info that you seek

○      The Book of Life only contains that which is appropriate for you at the time you are looking at it (what is pertinent).

○      It is possible to cross reference others’ records/book simultaneously & receive impressions of the experiences lived by another individual

○      No distinction should be necessary as to who the record belongs.  The fact that is being replayed is an indication that it is the appropriate replay for you at that particular time.

○      Some things are NOT appropriate for us to know, and those questions will not be answered at that time.  Your WHOLE self & keepers of the records determine what is to be seen or left out.

●      RESTING PLACE - a place in paradise where souls go to rest & be healed (traumas nullified by healing energies); a quiet, peaceful place to get away from everything for awhile & be healed (nothing to think about or worry about); a place to erase everything up to that point

○      When you are preparing to incarnate (go to a new body/life), you deal with the karma that you feel you are far enough removed from now to work with that particular karma

○      You cannot deal with all past karma at once, it would be too much to deal with at one time.

○      If the lessons have been learned, you have a tendency to forget about them (the lesson stays with you, but the memory of that life is forgotten).

      A place for those who have problems forgetting the personality that they were or the problems that they had, and keep identifying with the facet of that entity

●      Resting Life - a fairly insignificant life, where the entity appears to coast through a dull, seemingly meaningless life where nothing really extraordinary happens (karma can still be repaid in this type of life or balanced out, without creating new karma)

○      A resting life is needed every once in a while for each soul. Do not judge these people!  You do not know what they may be resting from or preparing for.

●      There are  an ultimate number of schools and resting places, depending upon the need.

○      Some need to go to the resting place, some to schools, some both, and sometimes you go directly into another life

○      There are certain guidelines that one must follow.

○      Teachers & Masters help you figure it all out.  They bring wisdom, experience, and an objective point of view that is invaluable.

●      Day to day experience teaches you more wisdom.  The wisdom of dealing with people who have vices & problems.  It makes you grow a lot more than those who have access to great wisdom.

●      Spiritual Hospital - a place for sick, broken or damaged souls to heal (such as spirits who commit suicide, homicide, or experienced severe trauma; those whose souls are sick or damaged and need healing)

○      Sometimes these souls are resistant to incarnate, especially when they must face the same situation again, but they know that they must if they are to get out of that situation & improve

○      The souls that are sick and damaged need stronger guidance than those that are healthy.  To an extent, they have lost their responsibility to decide things.

●      Some souls are impatient to go back & get involved, and must be held back & told, “Wait a minute.  You can’t go back yet; you have some more learning to do.”

●      NEVER PROGRESSING IS THE CLOSEST THING THERE IS TO THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPT OF HELL.

●      Sometimes souls get to visit other planes of existences to show them how the spirit must deal with these. 

○      Each of the levels, in their own way, have lessons to teach souls.

○      There are an infinite number of planes.

●      Anything that you can visualize can be real.  For you are the master of your own destiny, of your own house, of your own vessel or any other way that you wish to perceive the concept of a spirit being in physical body. 

○      You are co-creator with the divine.

○      Whether physical or spiritual, you make & create what is in front of you.

○      All must attune to this responsibility for all are co-creators of their manifest destiny.

●      HANDICAPPED OR DISABLED:

○      Why do souls choose a handicap body? 

■      To atone for something that they have done in the past

■      To try to further themselves along the pathway (spiritual growth)

○      There are more souls in line for the handicap bodies than the normal ones.

○      The amount of karma one can pay back in 1 of these lifetimes can be 10 times that of a normal lifetime!

○      It is a humbling experience.  You are forced to really come to terms within yourself with who and what you are, and to look into yourself and not at what the people of the world think of you.

■      Example:  In one life she lost her sight.  She learned persistence.  She learned not to take the things she saw for granted.  To have a greater appreciation.  She learned a type of feeling…and to trust.

○      Anything is worth it, if you learn something from it!

○      Some bodies cannot be healed because they have karmic debt to repay.

○      Some souls do not learn from their experience, if they fight against it & give up.  They must struggle to accomplish anything, to avoid incurring more karmic debt. 

○      In order to gain benefits from lives of that type, you must always strive for greater heights, and not let it pull you down.

●      Whether we wish to or not, everyone is constantly influencing or affecting others every day in many ways.  The lessons are gained in how we accept and handle these things, or in how we reject and deny them.
