Having been raised a Catholic during the 1950s I was always fascinated with the story of the resurrection. I was taught to believe that we will all be reborn and I marveled over that possibility….
“Imagine”, I thought, “never really dying? Imagine, our spirits living on forever? Imagine never having to say goodbye to our parents or grandparents?” And “Imagine what it would be like knowing that one day we will all be together again?” The possibility provoked deep thoughts and filled me with hope.
The years rolled along and I became older and more curious about spirituality. I began to question authority and religion. I realized the stories I learned during my youth had merit. And the pieces began to fit together. I learned about the golden rule… “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” and its importance. And I learned about karma “What goes around comes around.”.
It wasn’t until after the death of my mother in 1995, that I learned the truth, the truth about life after death.
Through my mother’s spirit I began to realize, believe and accept life after death.
Death in the physical form that is. Death of the body, surrendering of the shell which housed the spirit – but not death of the spirit. No, her spirit remains very much alive and very effervescent.
My mother, who had taught me well on the earth plane, teaches me now from an entirely global vantage point, a heavenly perspective. She has acquired multi-dimensional experience and knowledge and she makes it possible for me to connect and communicate with hundreds, if not thousands of spirits on a regular basis. (No, I don’t communicate with thousands of spirits every day… that would be overwhelming, to say the least.)
Resurrection of the spirit isn’t limited to Easter Sunday. No, as a matter of fact, it takes place every hour of every day on every continent throughout the entire world! This calls for rejoicing, if I do say so myself. But first, we need to be present with and process our grief.
Reflect back on the pain and suffering of those who witnessed the death of Jesus, if you will. Then think about how awestuck and numb they must have felt after rolling the boulder aside and realizing his body was not in the tomb.
Now feel their feelings of jubilation when his resurrection had been realized and accepted as truth? Can you relate to their feelings? I certainly can.
I also know and can relate to the feelings and emotions we experience when we lose a loved one – great lows, grief, anger and sadness, to name a few. And conversely I know and can relate to the feelings we experience when we reconnect with our loved ones in spirit – the wonder, love and jubilation. It is a necessary mixed bag.
However, we do have reason to rejoice. There is life after death, or as I like to say, ‘life after life’. I can attest to that.
So rejoice in the knowing and the reconnection.
Allow me to make that happen for you and your loved ones.
Rejoice now.
Rejoice often!
