Neale : Thank you, Dear God, for that wonderful, wonderful prayer. I hope that people everywhere, all over the world, will use it if they feel it would serve the moment, and bring peace and comfort, hope and understanding to the dying.
N : Yes. I asked you if she wanted to get cancer at that early stage of her life. I asked if she really chose, as a matter of free will, to leave that soon, to die so young. I said that something like this would be really hard to accept by her husband, her children, and members of her family. They would ask, with deep sorrow, I am sure. Why would Pip want to leave us like that❓
“These souls will comfort you as you release your attachment to the physical world, gently guiding you into the spiritual realm. You need never be alone, ever, nor are you ever alone now.”
G : “You are never alone, and you cannot be alone, by the very nature of who you are. For you are not an individual, but an individuation of the All. You are a part of All of Us Who Live, and all of us who live have an investment in the experience of You. Your ancestors walk with you. Your heirs stand beside you, watching your decisions on their behalf. We are all with you always, and you with us. It takes but your belief to Know that we are there.
N : Yes, but this I don’t understand. This last Remembrance I cannot comprehend. Do you mean that when I close my eyes in death and open them again in the Afterlife, everyone I have ever loved—including those I have just left behind—will be there❓
G : “If you want them to be, they will be. If you believe they will be, if you so much as hope that they will be, you will be aware of their presence beside you.”
N : But…look, as I already told you, I’ve heard it said many times that the souls of those who have preceded me in death will be waiting for me when I ‘cross over.’ You said that yourself, earlier in this conversation. But I’ve never heard it said that the people who are alive with me now, who are alive at the moment of my death, will be there to greet me.
G : “Such is the wonder of the Ultimate Realty that, though it may be experienced as a long while for those who remain living in physicality within the illusion of time, it will be in your own Moment of Now that you will be reunited.”
N : But…I thought that I would be there to greet them when they die. I mean, if I am one of their loved ones, wouldn’t I be waiting for them when they die❓
N : Gosh, I’m sorry. I’m not doing such a good job of following this. If I am waiting for them as they cross over, and they are already there for me when I cross over, how can…what is the sequence here❓
N : But when a thing is sequential and simultaneous, which do I experience❓ You never explained this to me before. Do I experience that one thing is happening after another, or do I experience everything happening instantly❓
G : “Whichever you choose. You may look at an individual image in your ‘mural,’ or you may step back and look at the entire mural at once. It is all a matter of perspective. And you may choose any perspective that serves you. You may take any perspective that pleases you.”
N : The implications of this are enormous. It’s almost as if, when my life is over, everyone’s life is over. When I die, everyone dies. That doesn’t seem fair.
“It may be many years before your presently living loved ones die, yet those years will be compressed into less than an instant in the place of No Time. If you wish to step back from the mural and see the whole picture, you will experience them joining you in the Afterlife in ‘no time at all.’
“That is why I said before that if you believe that your loved ones—all of your loved ones—will be with you in the Afterlife just as you cross over, if you so much as hope that they will be, you will be aware of their presence beside you. Belief creates perspective, and hope distances you from your worst imagining, allowing you to see a larger picture.”
“I tell you now, you will be together with all the souls with whom you have ever traveled, those you are traveling with now, and those souls you will travel with in the future.”
“Nothing will happen that you do not choose. Remember, ‘heaven’ is getting what you want. “Hell’ is getting what you don’t want. There has been a lot of theology created around both of those words, but in the end, that’s it. And ‘hell’ does not even exist unless you create it yourself—which means that you are still getting what you want❗ And if you do create your own hell, it disappears the moment you don’t want it anymore.”
