Anyone who has had a Near Death Experience (NDE) clearly knows there is an awesome Spiritual Realm where souls reside, very much "alive" and on the move as in a bustling City;  In the higher realms there is no misery or human "weighty ness"; in the lower realms it is much like here on Earth, stress, unhappiness, pain and fear with a bit of confusion reigning, at the predicament the soul finds itself in and what to do about it. There is even greater confusion if the person was certain that at his or her death it was going to be "all over". Please read Betty Eady, "Embraced by the Light".

 

Family, Cultural and Societal  beliefs condition us to think a certain way but that can be a slippery slope in hindering our growth and sometimes our spirituality since we can become afraid to open the envelope a bit and look inside at different viewpoints or other beliefs. 

 

Most of the main religions and philosophies embrace the immortal life of the soul and the fact that Life's greatest lesson we are to learn is Love.  Most agree that we should adhere to the "Golden Rule",   "Treat others as you want to be treated" and you will make timely deposits in your Spiritual Bank Account.  That account determines the Spiritual Realm you will enter when your Earth Walk is finished.

 

There are those among us who haven't learned to follow the Light during their life, or how to "pray without ceasing" which can be as simple as "Thank you for a beautiful day", or declaring "Divine Order" many times a day.

 

Fear and pain are  blocks to  love and light and can lead to depression or unhappiness and sometimes a health breakdown.  We all have the inner strength to overcome even when we do not feel strong. 

 

Declaring Divine Order opens one to love, light and strength of spirit. Divine Order has no room for chaos and stress, even when they do their best to take hold.  A deep breath and a quick Divine Order can instantly ground you; the more deep breaths and the more you can declare Divine Order in sequence, the calmer you will feel.  

 

Some of us are born to get a lesson, some of us sign up to come as a Teacher, but soon figure out that we teach and learn from each other. Certain lessons poise a challenge for the entire family or extended circle of loved ones and friends or even entire generations of people.

 

Astrology can tell quite a bit about Karma and Past Lives, especially the Outer Planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  As I reader I believe that we "forget" past lives so that we cannot fall into a trap of fretting so much over what we did or didn't do that we cannot accomplish what we came to do,  came to be,  or came to  learn in order to evolve to the Higher Spiritual Realms.  I do think Karmic studies should not be shunned but welcomed as a tool and a piece of the puzzle that is the Wheel of Life and Death.  Keeping an open mind allows one to go within, seek the truth for one's self and walk this Earth Walk in joy, peace and love instead of racing on to the next thing or person who comes along, never quite finding or noticing, peace, joy or love.
