Afterlife Research, Jesus
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I laugh and sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
“Come! Join my happy song!”
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev’ry green wood tree.
High overhead, the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o’er the world we roam.
– Friedrich Wilhelm Moller (April 14, 1931 – June 23, 1996) from “The Happy Wanderer” (1950).
When we were talking here a couple of weeks ago about the need for a Divine Designer who can readily plan, and then bring this earthly reality into solid material being, beginning from long before its creation, we similarly realized that this reality needs a continuously ongoing creator, not just at its start, but also at every most minute stage of its very complicated growth along the way. Of course, without careful divine guidance, we know that the perfect, ongoing workings of our earthly realty would be impossible. Even the most diehard of materialists seems by now to be ceding more and more of this basic point. And still, even more now, these scientists hasten to tell us, forget about haggling about maintaining this reality, anyway, when the evidence is telling us ever more and more certainly that this planet could be hit by an asteroid, a comet, or a meteoroid at any second! Omigosh. And then I have just found a quite wonderful, only months-old and very well-done summary of how the earth is going to gradually decline, together with its sun, over many untold billions of years, and then it will inevitably end. (I hope this works for you, since after I watched it through, I then attempted a reset.)
The plain fact is, of course, that you and I see things very differently than do the materialist scientists, even as we are enjoying learning from the fruits of their work, for the limited further distance those fruits can take us. Even today, I subscribe to and eagerly read a half-dozen amateur-scientist magazines, some of which by now are just online; and I love all the work these young scientists are doing! Of course, they still haven’t yet made a lot of further progress since the end of the Twentieth Century. They still don’t know what consciousness is, although by now they are pretty sure that our brains do not produce it. They still don’t understand where life comes from, and they still are scratching their hornswoggled heads over some basic phenomena that you and I understand and easily account for, such as terminal lucidity.Which is in fact a fairly easily-explained phenomenon, once you understand how the death process actually happens and you also give up your insistence on some materialist scientific assumptions.
Okay then, if I think I’m so smart, I should right now explain terminal lucidity to you! All right, fair enough, but then you’re going to have to promise to stick around for “… the rest of the story.” Deal? Okay, in terminal lucidity, a dying person whose brain has seemed to be fried, with little or no communication or understanding possible at all, will suddenly “wake up”, and seem to once again possess almost normal mental function. Someone in this state might recognize loved ones to whom he was oblivious for many years, and carry on amazingly normal conversations, talking and laughing, and remembering things that everyone had thought he had long forgotten. Then, after hours or perhaps a day of what has seemed to be almost complete normality, this period of lucidity will pass, and soon thereafter that person will die.
So, what was going on during that period of terminal lucidity? People’s bodies on earth are made something like nested dolls, with inner nested energy bodies and outer material bodies. Our innermost energy bodies will actually leave our material bodies fairly often during life, while those material bodies sleep; with our outermost energy bodies remaining attached to our material bodies by a silver cord that keeps our material bodies alive. Those innermost energy bodies then will often go a-wanderin’, sometimes into the astral plane and for long distances on many nights. But then eventually will come the day and hour that you had selected as part of your birth-planning for you to prepare to go home, so your dead loved ones will begin to gather around your bed, and your outer energy body that always had stayed with your material body will un-velcrow (this is how dying people have told us that it feels) from inside your fingers and feet, then inside your limbs, and also from inside your brain. As all of this loosening of the inside energy body happens, something wonderful that also might happen, as your consciousness begins to gather and to re-organize itself inside your chest, is, yes, that your consciousness might experience a period of terminal lucidity.
Terminal lucidity has not yet been much scientifically studied, primarily because materialist scientists have had a lot of trouble believing in the phenomenon at all. But, oh yes indeed, it does happen, and often! And it seems to happen earlier than the very final stage of dying, which means earlier than that few days of life, when those who are dying generally are seeing their long-dead loved ones, who have come for them, wonderfully appearing in the upper corners of the room, looking young and happy. That is such a beautiful time! That moment is when the dying generally stop altogether talking with the living, but at that point they are just talking and laughing by mind with those beautiful loved ones who have come for them. Their loved ones have come to coax them out of their dying bodies, and into raising their vibrations, and, with them, happily, embarking on the brief and thrilling trip home!
Okay, and now please, let’s talk for just a lovely moment about what our lives are really for. The wonderful fact that materialist scientists still have not managed to grasp at all, but that truly and with magnificent love runs all our lives, is the glorious fact that consciousness is everything, and it is all things. Consciousness is the Mind of God, and every human mind is an aspect of that same Mind of God, whether more or less loving. And the more loving you are in all that you do, the more perfectly you can be vibrating ever higher, toward ever more perfect love, as an ever more perfect aspect of the Mind of God. This is the central, joyous truth of all reality!
And for you and me to daily live that truth, we need only to live our all day and every day lives by the perfect, sacred teachings of Jesus. It is just that wonderfully simple! Only live the simple Gospel truths as Jesus came long ago to teach them. Use the daily, universal application of prevenient forgiveness of all things to clear your life of every remaining boundary that you still might find to universal love. Or perhaps, my dear ones, come to Jesus through A Course in Miracles. There, Jesus tells us, Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Therein lies the peace of God. Oh my goodness, it has been two decades now since I last spent two years learning A Course in Miracles in a study group, and yet I still recall that summation of the entire Course in three brief sentences. And I still recite it often! So much perfect, untold personal peace comes from those few words, lifts your heart to God’s heart, opens it there joyously like a flower.
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God’s clear blue sky!
