Afterlife Research, Understanding Reality
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me!
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That’s where you’ll find me!
– Yip Harburg (1896-1981), from “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (1939)
We have talked here of late about dark matter and energy being simply the way that we perceive from here the greater reality, the heaven to which we all return at death. But some people have asked my dear Thomas and me whether we can really be sure about that. Well, actually, it is hard to be sure, when mainstream scientists still so adamantly refuse to study reality from anything but a strictly materialist perspective. They have no clue at all about what ninety-five percent of reality might actually be, since very clearly it is not material, and we know that fact about it because it will not react with photons of light. Now, photons are material light. So, Oopsie, scientific folks, finding that ninety-five percent of reality is not material means that ninety-five percent of reality cannot be studied using the materialist mode! And that means that, er, perhaps in the twenty-first century, scientists ought at last to reconsider, and ought to find a new, non-materialist way to study that important ninety-five percent of reality? But, no. Because that ninety-five percent of reality is proven not to be composed of their beloved matter, earth-bound scientists have decided that therefore it cannot be more than random particles of… non-material matter?
This scientific attitude really is astonishing. If you view the brief, cute video that is linked in the previous paragraph, you will see their Luddite scientific mentality at work. And they have a similar problem with consciousness, since they always have assumed that consciousness must be generated by the human brain. Even after a century, they still steadfastly ignore the great quantum physicist Max Planck’s discovery that consciousness is primary and pre-existing. All of which means that they continue to be altogether manifestly wrong about both dark matter and dark energy. In fact, this little five-percent material universe is of a different, denser matter and a “stiffer” consciousness energy, if you will, than are the matter and energy that are prevalent in the rest of the gigantic greater reality in which we live our eternal lives. It is all that way so the reduced-strength minds that we bring here when we enter each lifetime cannot mess with earth-reality in what Craig Hogan appropriately calls “earth school”.
But when we put all of our known reality together, we easily can see how this small five percent of our greater reality that is material fits with the primary ninety-five percent. We know that it all has to fit together, right? And of course, it does fit together perfectly. Scientists posit that the “dark” ninety-five percent is just random garbage particles of some sort that exist only to organize our little five-percent universe into galaxies, and to push this universe gradually bigger. But to you and me, or we might rather say to people who live in a reality on earth which is otherwise tidily ordered to a breathtaking degree, such a notion is nonsense on its face! How could a universe like what they describe ever have begun, and then have sustained itself as it developed, for heaven’s sake?
Afterlife researchers have discovered by studying more than a century’s worth of abundant and consistent communications from people that we used to think were dead, that the place where the dead from this earth live forever is gigantic. It could easily be far greater in relative size than this whole material universe. Much more information about that greater reality comes from astral travelers and from near-death experiencers. Still more information about what the greater reality actually is comes from our extensive study of consciousness, which confirms that Max Planck’s great insight indeed was right. Meanwhile, though, mainstream science continues to blather meaninglessly on; and there even is a recent theory that information cannot be destroyed, so dark matter might just be information itself. Sadly and frustratingly, mainstream scientists could likely solve their “dark” matter and energy problem, and could also perhaps come up with a unified theory of everything based in consciousness very soon, if they would just drop their foolish materialist dogma altogether!
But we here are not bound by dogmas at all, so we will solve the scientists’ “dark” problem right now. Simply put, dark energy is consciousness energy that is not associated with earth-matter or with its correlate energy version. And dark matter is a higher-vibration, non-particle-based, purer form of matter that is a direct correlate of consciousness. Think of living alabaster: you can almost see through it in more intense light. It seems to be the only kind of matter which exists in most of reality, in that ninety-five percent, where everything, including our bodies, is made of it. Higher-vibration beings there can think that matter into shimmering existence that then becomes solid; and they also can make it go away when it is no longer wanted. Those higher vibration realities are right where we are. To scientists, they look to be thoroughly intermixed with “regular” matter.
It is hard for us to realize any of this from where we are now, but those higher-vibration, non-material parts of reality seem actually to be the important parts of reality. They are where we live forever, while this universe is the little five percent where a denser matter and consciousness have been created to keep our powerful minds from messing with the physics here, so we will take our difficult spiritual earth-lessons seriously. This five-percent place is not our real life, but rather that ninety-five percent “dark” place actually is! So, for those couple of folks who have expressed their concerns to us about whether what scientists call “dark” matter could possibly be heaven, our answer is: well, yes, probably. Given the relative sizes and all the details, it is very likely indeed that we would be able to detect the higher vibrational planes from here in some fashion, although of course God could cloak them from us; and perhaps God did cloak them in the past. But the proportional sizes are about right, the physics is right, it all fits well, and Thomas tells me that my guess is right. Everything that ever happens in all of reality happens within Consciousness, which means that it happens within the Mind of God.
Now, let’s assume that we are someone who has just safely arrived in the afterlife arrival garden, having left his material body for the final time in a city in North America. As we left our body, we wisely ignored the mourners around our bed and instead we followed our loved ones, those deathbed visitors, our mother and our teenage best friend who long ago died in Vietnam, and even our childhood dog. All of them are now with us in the North American arrival garden. And this is such an amazing moment! Everything is in fresh and vibrant colors, many of which are never seen on earth, since they are beyond the visible-light spectrum. There is no decay. The plants are human-created, and no plant ever so much as drops a leaf. I think, although I’m not sure about this, that the vegetation there doesn’t grow, but rather it is lush and gorgeous human-made decoration. There are fountains in the garden and lovely buildings nearby, and people using toy-like, mind-powered vehicles; and in a place with no death and no decay, everything forever looks bright and new.
Most people will experience a normal transition home. And when that happens, there are certain specific events which are going to happen soon after we arrive back home, although the order of these events will vary and their details might vary considerably, since our spirit guides and our loved ones are eager for us to have the best and the most productive experiences possible. We will here describe those key welcome-home experiences that happen for each of us, in no particular order:
Merger Again with Your Greater Mind.
As part of our preparation for entering our infant earth-bodies to begin a new lifetime on earth, each of us will leave perhaps forty percent of our great, eternal minds behind. Then, as we return home, we merge again with the aspect of our mind that we left behind before birth. This seems to happen for many of us literally as we are returning back home – just suddenly, we can remember and we know so much more! We remember our most important past lives, and the people from those lives, even from many generations back. I call it forty percent, but it could be as much as half of our eternal mind that is briefly left behind this way.
Life-Review.
With the help and comfort of our guides, we each will be shown all the events of our life just ended, from the perspectives of the other people who were involved in the events of those lives. Many who have been through a life-review have told us that this is the toughest part of going home! They hadn’t realized how much what had seemed to them to have been just some minor event had hurt someone’s feelings; or perhaps they had altogether forgotten doing something which had seriously damaged someone else’s life. Once our life-review is completed, we are asked to forgive everyone who ever has harmed us in our lives, which usually is very easy for us to do. Prison guard at Auschwitz? You forgive him easily, now that you understand that he was a pawn, he is begging for forgiveness, and your whole family is now fine and here beside you. But then we are asked to forgive ourselves, which turns out to be a great deal harder to do, now that you know how some cruel action you had altogether forgotten turns out to have blighted someone else’s life. There is a lot of counseling and help available! But if we cannot forgive ourselves for everything we did in our lifetime just ended, our consciousness vibration will start to slow, and we might land in the outer darkness.
Visiting Jesus.
One very special event that apparently is available to each of us now if we request it is to visit Jesus on His astral riverbank soon after we transition home. When Thomas took me to visit with Jesus several times in the summer of 2022 so the Lord could share with me His personal story, I saw Him repeatedly transform Himself into what He and Thomas referred to as “Church Jesus,” which was a taller, blue-eyed and lighter-skinned version of Himself, with longer, lighter, straighter hair. This change would happen automatically as He was standing up to greet each group of new arrivals as they would respectfully approach Him and form their polite lines. Jesus would then speak warmly to each of His visitors in turn, always friendly and smiling, and He would give to each of them His private blessing.
Big Welcome Home Party.
Most of us will have spent some individual time reuniting with close family members and friends almost right away upon our reurn; but then at some point early in our arrival period people will put out the word, and it will be time to really Party Hearty! Many extended families have a multi-generational homestead where these parties happen; for example, my family holds its parties on a big Danish dairy farm by the sea. Famous dead people are often the entertainers; light snacks and drinks are served, since we still are used to eating and drining, although without internal organs, the food just disappears; and even people we had thought were enemies in this lifetime turn out to be our eternal friends, who only had played those negative roles for us in order to help us grow spiritually.
Concerts, Library Research, Explorations, Music Lessons, Classes, and General Playtime.
What follows these events of our arrival-home period is a golden time which can carry on for even earth-centuries in a timeless Now! We had left here through the afterlife’s pre-birth processing area at Level Three to enter that most recent earth-lifetime, and then returned through the same afterlife return area; but now we are living in the gigantic astral realities at the love-based level that our spiritual growth has achieved for us. There we are continuing to learn and grow, but at a much slower pace; and we are doing more enjoyable things than you can imagine, because night never falls and we never need to either work or sleep. Until you might decide that you want to plan another lifetime of more aggressive spiritual growth on earth, you can spend infinite time with your vast number of beautiful eternal friends in what amounts to a casual, endless joy.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow!
Why, then, oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can’t I?
