God : “You said—I did not say, YOU said—that you were pledged to making this a full and complete and accurate transcript of our conversation, with nothing left out. I was the one who said that you might be tempted to edit it. You were the one who said, no way, it’s not going to happen. So now you’re remembering something else. Now you’re remembering about keeping your word. Doing what you say. Being counted on. Is this Who You Are❓ It’s your choice.
G : “Look, you can stop right here. End the book. It’s been an interesting book. Don’t go any further. You’ve said enough. For some, maybe even too much. Just close the computer and let it go.”
N : No. We’re right at Breakthrough here. There is Breakthrough, and not just for me. This is Breakthrough for everyone reading this. Even for those who don’t know that it’s Breakthrough, it is. I can sense it.
N : A deal. So let me see if I understand our last exchange. You’re saying that every soul, after the moment of death, is given an opportunity to reverse the process of death itself. I’ve got that. It’s a stunning thought, and I get it. It’s something you would do. It makes perfect sense, given how much you love us.
G : “I’m glad that you see that. Trusting in the love of God will serve you all the days of your life, and on the day of your death as well. I do love you. I love you all, dearly.”
N : So just tell me, how does this all happen❓And if we really do ‘come back,’ how does that occur❓ Not everyone dies in such a convenient way that they can just be ‘brought back to life’ easily. I mean, some people died on the battlefield, or in accidents, and they’re lying in pieces. Excuse me for being so graphic, but they are. Not everyone dies comfortably in bed, so they can just ‘wake up’ and the doctor can say, ‘it’s a miracle!’
After you ‘die,’ you move through the first two stages of death, just as I have described. You realize, first, that you are not your body. Then you experience whatever you next expect to experience, based on what you believe. You may have that experience as long as you wish, as long as it pleases you.
Then you move into the third stage of death. This is the final stage, when you experience Total Immersion with the Essence, emerge from that experience to move through a review of the physical life you have just concluded, and then decide whether to ‘go on or go back,’ as you put it.”
G : “Essentially, yes. Based on what you’ve seen and whether there is anything that you still wish to Know and to Experience as a soul carrying the particular identity that you thought of as ‘you.’ In other words, based on whether you feel ‘complete’ or not.”
N : But I thought…you know, I really have been listening to you very closely here, and I thought that you said earlier that no one dies ever feeling incomplete. You said, very directly, that no one dies having failed to experience all that they came to the physical world to experience. There is no such thing as being ‘incompetent.’ and you said this is what is meant by…the Eleventh Remembrance. The timing and the circumstance of death are always perfect.
N : Yet now you are saying that after a person dies they may feel ‘incomplete’ with something or another, and so may ‘return to life,’ so to speak, and relive the moment of their death in a new way that…that…
G : “Exactly. Which means that they didn’t die. Which means that ‘the timing and the circumstances of death are always perfect.’ Which means that no one dies having failed to experience all that they came to the physical world to experience.”
“It is on ‘the other side’ of the Applorange, it is in the spiritual realm, that the soul does the joyful work of establishing its identity, and re-creating it anew.
“If you indicate, at the moment of the Holy Inquiry, that you do not feel complete, and wish to return to the physical life from which you have just emerged, you may do so, and you will do so instantly.”
N : Yes, but you do this, you said, by ‘jumping realities.’ You said the soul jumped to an alternate reality. In that case, the soul in this reality did die incomplete.
The soul ‘staying behind,’ so to speak, in the first reality is not oblivious to what has happened. It knows that a part of itself has been allowed to jump into an alternative reality and complete what it wishes to complete. It also knows that there is no such thing as Time. So it knows that the other part of Itself has already completed what it ‘went back’ to complete. So the soul in the Only Moment There Is, the Moment of Now, moves into the spiritual realm feeling utterly complete.
G : “You could say that. But I want to suggest to you that not much is being served by this splitting of metaphysical hairs. I think you might derive more benefit from focusing on the larger principles and the main messages of this dialogue.
“Many people on earth get caught up in the minutiae. They want to have everything explained, down to the last detail. You can turn embroidery over and look at the cross weaving of threads that produces it, meticulously tracing each colored yarn until you have figured out all the ins and outs, but you will never enjoy the picture they create.
“Look at things another way. Change your ‘I’ve got to have all the answers’ perspective. Give yourself a chance to see the whole picture. You’ll love it.”
