Death

1. What is Death?
Death is the mistaken belief of the human mind that our identity is that of a body and when the body is no longer functional that our entity no longer exists.

2. Should we fear it?
I have been shown my soul existing in the spirit world without the presence of my body. I am an eternal being, so are you and there is no death. Much literature exists on these experiences, consistent with my own personal experiences and observations.

3. If we die, do we go to heaven or hell?
Hell is the concept of the human mind of a God just like the human mind, Who is punitive, judgmental and angry. In none of my spirit world experiences did I ever find a God with such attitudes. I've been no sweetheart in this world, being as lost as others, doing negative things out of such lost ness, and yet when I came in the presence of the Divine, my soul had no fear whatsoever. It belonged there, felt at peace there, and related with ease to the awareness of God. Thus I have no belief in the existence of a hell, except in the imaginings of the corrupted human mind.

4. What happens to us when we die?
We don't die. When the body is no longer available as a medium for functioning in this world, and if the experience of transfer to the spirit dimension is as smooth as what I've experienced many times, the spirit dimension reveals itself, and the human dimension is gone. Since I know now that this world is but an illusion, I'll either have abandoned such beliefs, which I think is what I've been doing, and thus choose to let God's perfect loving will be done for me in the kingdom.

5. Do we die alone or are there angels that guide us?
The Footladder certainly speaks extensively of the angels and their welcoming us in the spirit dimension. Many people with whom I have worked frequently have mentioned their experience of angels. I've never had that. God is immediately present to me when I have had out of body experiences and I seem to automatically know of His presence no matter the format.

6. Does God come to us at our time of death?
As I mentioned previously, when I've left my body it is God Who is present for me. I don't worry about who shows up, because I know of His love for us and that's good enough for me to trust that the experience will be reflective of His perfect and eternal, unchanging love for me and everyone. If we've chosen to give up our illusions, I simply believe we're home bound. If we've not, we can concoct once again whatever scenario appeals to our as yet uneasy minds. But in the end, we catch on to the absurdity of our fears of a punitive God, and head home.

7. Does the same thing happen to each of us or is it different?
I'm sure that the experience of crossing over has a very personal scenario constructed by God to assure the individual of the presence of a loving God, and uses symbols that are very personal and that assure us of our welcome. God wouldn't do it any other way, in order to ease His children's return to Him.

8. Why is there death?
There is no death. It's just a belief from the depressed human mind as part of its fear state. We've concocted it. Even in scripture, Jesus shows Peter, John, and James the existence of Moses and Elijah in the spirit dimension as part of the process to support their ministry and their courage which would require the knowledge of indestructibility.

9. How come no one really knows what happens to us when we die?
All I find that I need to know is that God loves me, wants me to enjoy the kingdom as He does, and I'll settle for that. I just don't feel I need more information on what happens after I leave this world.

10. Why is there hardly any information regarding death?
How can we have information about something that doesn't exist? The books that cover spirit experiences as the loving awareness of God are to me the only necessary information that we need in order to set the concept of death aside.

11. Why are we so afraid of it and how can we overcome this fear?
We only remain afraid of death if we are still invested in the human experience as a reality, and a God Who is thus quite fearsome and threatening because of our belief that there's something fundamentally wrong about us. Even reading these assurances will not in itself fully overcome anyone's fear of death if we are so invested.

But if one is ready to question it, I would speak to God about it, e.g. "God I'm afraid of death. Please help me to look upon it as you do rather than as I do" Or if there is a fear of God - "God I have a fear of you as punitive and what you could do to me. Am I right?" God will handle such inquiries in a very reassuring way, for we are all His beloved children, simply lost. And don't overlook the peace or quiet feeling that follows such a question. It is one form of answer amongst many that He might use to show you that you didn't find a vengeful punitive God.

12. How should we prepare for death?
Every time the though of death aggravates us, it is the opportunity to once again go to God, hand it to Him and await His response to you; - "God I'm bothered again, thinking about death and how to prepare for it. Please show me how you look upon this rather than I thinking about it from my own mind."

13. If I have a terminal illness, how should I be preparing for my death?
Only the human dimension says that you can have a terminal illness, but God knows you have an eternal well-being, for that is how God created us. We need to ask ourselves, which do we choose to want to believe in, which causes us less fear - a terminal illness in a world of fear and suffering, or a loving God waiting for us to turn to Him for reassurance? If we are more comfortable with the illusion of this world, we won't go to God because of our fear of Him. But if we are not afraid of Him and we are getting ready to leave this dimension and a body that no longer serves us, we will bring any concerns to God in order to let Him take us through our awakening to the kingdom in joyful anticipation.

14. How do I deal with grief from someone I love dying?
If I have lost my peace of mind, and I become aware of my state, it is God signaling me to bring that to Him in order to feel His reassurance and comforting presence and perspective which eases any heartache, including grief so that we are not overwhelmed by any sadness that could be present.

15. Should I be praying for a miracle or is death inevitable,
so I should pray some other way?
My own way of praying such a circumstance would be, "God help me to be available to You for how you possibly want me to serve you with ______." His perspective as mine enables me to best contribute love and reassurance in such a situation.

16. How do I deal with the death of a loved one?
God would certainly make every effort to make you aware of His presence and His wish for Him to be present to you at such a time. Only the human mind would have one go through such sadness by itself and exclude God. But if God is welcome into the moment you will suddenly become aware to talk to Him, e.g. - "Possess me in this moment" or "Help me to hand myself to you now" or "I need you, Love." Or any other way of expressing yourself and awaiting His comfort that he will spread upon you with nurturing completeness.

17. How do I deal with the death of a child?
 The child is a loved one too and there would be no different way than that of any other loved one. Our souls are all safe in God; it is the ignorant human mind which introduces the possibility of loneliness for the little one who passed or our own concerned state upon such a passing. God does not want you to suffer needlessly without His reassuring presence which eases our hearts and perspective when we invest in His will and guiding of us at such times!

18. Why did God incorporate death into our life?
 God did not do that. It is part of our faulty human perspective. It is the very reason that Jesus resurrected, to disprove it. It is the very reason that Elijah and Moses was shown to His disciples, to prepare them for their own inner experience of that truth. Jesus counters our belief about the human life and death cycle in John 6:63 - "The spirit gives life, the body is nothing."

19. What should I expect when I'm dying?
Ask that very question of God and watch for His reassuring peace overcome any nudnik thought from our nudnik human minds.

20. Is suicide acceptable to God?
Jesus clearly states in scripture that people who were busy trying to kill Him are doing so because they're in a lost state of mind, they don't know what they are doing. Killing oneself would fall under the same judgment. It's an act of desperation by a person who has not yet been able to become aware of God's loving presence and His solutions in our life. Such a person is still caught up in the human illusions, is unwilling to trust His life to God's direction and in despair. Feeling no solution to His depressed opinion of Himself, the person tries to end His suffering experience. Such a person has simply ended one illusion and is now preparing for the next illusion to replace it, since He is still not ready to go to God for the awakening into the kingdom. But we all eventually do so, for God made us as kingdom inhabitants, and our illusions can't change how we were made to inevitably be.

21. Why do so many religions feel that suicide will put one in hell,
while others support it in some cases?
I wonder if proponents of either one of those stands have asked God about His viewpoint in the matter, or are they letting the judgments of the human mind stand without such checking out. Both are examples of our own will being done, rather than God's will.

22. Why death? Why not some other means of leaving this world?
Death is our viewpoint. God's viewpoint is simpler and more comforting. He lets us believe in death if that is more reassuring to the believer than trusting Him. But if the person trusts in Him, God shows the person that there is no such thing as death, that we choose to awaken to the loving kingdom and life everlasting. And no doubt is left for the individual in order to calm an impediment that could potentially make the person uneasy about the passing.
