Irrefutable Proof That There Is Life After Death.
80Miss Teresita, For Those Of You Who Are Incredulous
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, when I was a kid; when I was twelve years old, to be exact, a very important thing happened to me. Well, I would say that I made it happen. Yes, I made a pact with someone, and it payed off.
Every Saturday, my mother would go get Teresita, an old lady about the age of my own grandmother, to come and spend the day with us. My mother did this so that Teresita, who was an old friend of the family, would not spend her last days alone in her small apartment watching TV or listening to the radio, but so she could come to our house and witness and partake of the commotion that happens when there are several people of different ages living in the same household, including kids (me and my brother) and another old lady (my grandmother, my mother's mother) maids and pets of all kinds.
It was funny/curious, because my grandmother never really got up out of the hammock to talk to Teresita much; it is like she was jealous of her or something....so I was the one who would talk to her and keep her entertained while my mother would be out doing errands; paying bills and buying groceries, or going to the beauty salon. My mother would turn the TV on for Teresita while she went out to do her errands, and at least she would be watching the soap operas accompanied by me, instead of being alone in her small apartment. Many a time, I would accompany my mother to go and get her, or to take her back home to her little apartment....and so the scene was my mother and me, ushering a thin, wirey old woman, (one who looked like the school teacher that she was; and I would respectfully say she looked very much like an old Popeye's Olive Oyle) to and from our car....she would go slowly, her wooden cane almost bigger than she was....as she slid and dragged her feet over the ground. I remember it was a chore just to get her to get into the front seat...."Turn around, Teresita, fanny first, fanny first."
So, it was one of those Saturdays when I got my bright idea. We were sitting at the back porch where the TV was, and I thought of making a pact with Teresita. I approached her, knelt down in front of the couch where she was, and said, "Teresita, why don't we make a pact? I know that I am young, and you are old, but it does not mean that you will die sooner than I will (but, I did know that the probablilty was that she'd die sooner; of course I didn't say that). Lots of kids die in car accidents or from diseases. So, that being said, why don't we make a pact? The pact will be that whoever dies first, will do everything possible in their power to come back and tell the other person that, yes, there is life after death, and if nothing happens, then we are to assume that there is no such thing, life after death, or at least we will know that the person was unable to come back and report it." Teresita agreed; She thought it was a great idea, and so we shook hands over the matter, and told ourselves internally that we would never forget that moment, so be it.
Time passed, and I became 13, 14, 15, 16..and, I believe Teresita died when I was about 16 years old. One day, my mother told me she was in the hospital for some ailment, such as Pneumonia, and a short time later, she was no more. My mother came to tell me she had died. Uh oh. We went out to where her tomb was to put some flowers on her grave. I was so nervous that night, the night that she died, thinking that, Tere would come and pull on my feet....(my grandmother would always say from her hammock perch, "Te voy a jalar los pies cuando me muera," meaning, "I'll come and pull on your feet when I die...." when anyone would "misbehave." I waited a day, and nothing happened....I waited another day, and nothing. I waited a week, and nothing. By the third week, I had forgotten the whole mess. I thought to myself, "Oh, nothing's going to happen," and I was right....it didn't!
Four years later, I got married. Two years after I got married, at the age of 22, I got a call from a real good friend of mine. She said to me, "Maria, I have a psychic lady here as a guest for a few days, and she has already done a reading for me and also one for my husband...but if you would like to invite her to dinner, I'm sure she will do you the favor of a reading, too!" So I said, "Why, sure, ask her if she can come over tomorrow night, and I will prepare a dinner for her." And so, the lady came over. Her name was Sally. Sally had some interesting talents. The first thing she showed us was how she could levitate her arm....but since one is attached to one's arm, I didn't think much of that talent....I mean, how can you tell if she is levitating it or just lifting it up? You couldn't, really! But at least she thought she was...But here comes the interesting part...After we ate dinner, and we were sitting in the living room, Sally unexpectedly said, "Maria, I see an old lady next to you. And, she is trying to tell you something." I said, "Oh, well, what does she look like?" Sally said, "She is a thin old lady, and has a long dress on, and has round glasses. Her hair is grey and up in a bun." I said, "Oh, that must be my grandmother, my father's mother...she was just like that." But Sally said, "No, she says she is not your grandmother. She says she is just a friend, and that you know the message. There is a message for you and you are supposed to know it already." I was clueless. I could not think of anyone else who could fit that description. But then Sally said, "Well, she has a cane, too; a rather large wooden cane." When Sally said that, all of the hairs on my arms stood up, and probably those on my head, too! At that moment I knew exactly who she meant. I said, "Oh, my God! The pact, the pact....I made a pact with an old lady friend when I was twelve years old," I exlained to Sally! "Oh, my God, Tere, I got the message! Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting it across! Now I know! Now I know that there IS life after death!"
And now YOU know, too, the rest of the story! This is a true story. No bull crap here! Only the truth comes out of my mouth and my "pen" (how things have changed! We don't even write with pens anymore!).

When you are in the spirit world, you can project any image that you hold inside of yourself. Teresita was projecting her Earthly image so that I would be able to recognize her. If she had projected a different image, I would not have recognized her, and hence, the message. I can assure you that the seer was not even from my town; she had just come in a few nights before, from far away...and she knew nobody in my town. My other friend, the one who sent her over to me, was unfamiliar with Teresita, and I had never spoken to anyone about our pact. I tell you, it was the message I had been waiting for....for years.....I don't have to prove it to anyone. The knowledge rests in me now, and it is not belief....it is knowledge.
You raise a very interesting question....Does knowledge precede belief, or does knowledge follow belief..? And, yes, you do not have to prove anything to anyone... but yourself, I would add...
Have you read Camus..? His perspective on the absurdity of life ( and death ) may interest you...
exactly, it had to be a vision you would recognize. Excellent, it must be very gratifying for you to know the cetainty of life after death. I would cherish it if it happened to me, as I have often wanted it . My wife says it happens to her all the time, visits from people past. but only once awaken from a deep sleep did i ever get any visions like that. Great read, thanks.
To Maven101, I had believed before, that there was life after death, because of my faith, which is Catholic, and because of my mother, who was a saint, who instilled into all of her children, that there was life after death and that we should prepare by leading a good life. We are all taught about the life after death and it is the basis for believing the truth about Jesus, in the Catholic religion, etc. But there comes a moment in time when one needs to actually experience the truth, to truly make it a part of you; a need to know, not just blindly believe. That is what I was trying to do at the age of 12. I succeeded. Since that time, I have realized so many other things that are profound spiritual truths, that it makes that incident seem as child's play (and it was, for me). But I post this so that others might be sure of the fact, through my experience.
To THINKING OUT LOUD: You can do the same thing I did; just be sure to pick a trusting person, a serious minded person who would actually do a pact like this for you...I'm sure you have such a person in your life (we all do, have at least one serious-minded and trustworthy person) who would be willing to go ahead with this plan. I tell you, it was an exhilarating experience to go through. Let me recommend the book, Journey of Souls, by Michael Newton. It is a fabulous and well-written true account on what happens when we die. Thank you so much for your comment!
To MAVEN101 - Albert Camus? No, I have not read his perspective on life and death, but now you have me interested in reading his works! I know he was one of our great writers and philosophers!
maricarbo:
Just this final comment...I applaud your use of refering to Camus as " one of OUR great writers ...etc ". The " our " meaning without ethnic, gender, or national specificity...but of all of us...
Why of course, I've been French, too! But, yes, I did mean "OF THE PLANET," though! Have a great day!
Interesting!
Hinduism believes in life after death. According to Hinduism, as long as one has unfulfilled desires there will be rebirth. There may be a time period before a rebirth when the soul can exist in the form of spirit. It is often said that committing suicide is bad because the soul will wander and suffer a lot before taking up a new body.
Heaven and hell are also accepted. If you do extraordinary good things or bad things in life, you enjoy or suffer respectively in heaven and hell. But taking rebirth afterwards in the earth is a must till all your karmas are exhausted, according to Hinduism.

Hi Maricarbo, I want to say thank you for share that interesting story, I really needed, and probably any person from the other side made this connection for me, as Tere did it for you. I always have thought that if there is a possibility of communication between both sides, my father would do it.
Some time ago I read a book named "I have lived before" (the true story of the reincarnation of Shanti Devi, it is based in a real case and I think it's another proof of live after death. That book was very interesting to me.
Dear Miruchi,
Thank you for your comments. Since that experience that I had as a child, I can tell you that I can vouch for the fact that there exists life after death. I have come to realize many of my past lives and they are as real (have been as real) as the one that I am living right now. Ultimately, they say everything is a dream, so try and make this "dream" as good as it can be, not only for you, but for others as well. Then you will have a pleasant remembrance to look back to.
do u believe in dream?dou ever dreaming?can u derive what cause of dreaming?lets us dream on....
God is the dreamer and we are the dream. We are God's pleasant dream, and/ or we can also be His nightmare. He/She lets us participate.
Beautiful article, great comments. Let us dream pleasent dreams for ourselves and the others.
Thank you for your Hub.
I have also written few hubs about this topic and can only agree with you and everything what you have said.
Dear Tatjana-Mihaela, Thank you for your comment. I will look your articles up and read them, too! Thanks, and many blessings!
Thanks for sharing this. She kept her promise and came back with the message.
Yes, metaphysician, the value here, I think, is to live up to your word, always. If you say you are going to do something, do it. That way, people will know that they can count on you, and if something were to arise such as my experience here, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind that it was your definite response. In the case of Teresita, she was the embodiment of trust; a noble soul. That is why there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the pact was carried out and fullfilled.
Hehe, spirits, the afterlife AND psychics, I'm sorry but if this is for the incredulous then you won't be doing much convincing, I enjoyed reading though. I suppose we'll all get our answer sooner or later won't we?
Yes, as a matter of fact, life is a lot faster than you think. Sometimes it seems slow, but in reality, time flies. Before you know it, you'll be on the "other side!" Ha ha ha. Already, I know a lot of people that have already gone to the "other side." I just hope someone is over there in place to greet ME when I finally get over there.
One of the more interesting articles I've read on here!
All Crap. No dead soul can come back to this material world.Yes Mr.Maven101, Its knowledge that follows the divine teachings. Read Bible and Quran and you will find verses where God almighty tells us that once someone is dead, is dead. That no dead can come back, as his soul is being given another body, and lives either in hell or heaven. And that depends upon our actions in this material world. Have we followed our desires, lust and materialism or we have some soft human feelings towards humanity and God. Did we worship our own desires like an idol, or we have worshipped God's divine law. This decides our future life.
it is the SATAN/Jins who come in our dreams to misguide us and play with our beliefs. These Satans/Jins can be communicated with once one follows to obey them. Just like the illuminatis and secret societies, who worship satan, and these satans come in material/physical to give them a feeling that they are communicating with God almighty. In fact, religion is not dogmas and disbeliefs, Religion is what DIVINE TEACHINGS say. Once we disconnect with divine law, we try to SEE GOD with our own imagination/thinking we have fabricated about God. This misguides us. And misguidance is GOING TO HELL in the life hereafter.
This question is for C V Rajan.
When the word "Belief" is used then the person doesn't really know the truth. "I believe, you don't believe" has NO meaning in the true context.
If one knows the truth he WILL tell the truth. Are there any persons in the world talk like that. There will not be any person. Reason only the Acharyas can talk like that.
Because only they have learnt the vedas we ordinary mortals do not go in search of the truth and keeps beating around the bush and in turn get nothing in turn.
According to you "Unfulfilled Desires" causes re-birth. So if one has fulfilled desire then he/she will not take birth again according to YOU. Then where does the soul goes after that is another matter you can't answer because you have no idea.
I dispute your assumption the assumption of "According to Hinduism".
First of all telling "According to Hinduism" is wrong. Those who follow Vedas are Hindus. Those who have no idea about Vedas are Not Hindus. You proved yourself that you have no idea about the vedas and your rather Vague statement stands proof for that.
Those who listen what the vedas and the Acharyas say then he WILL tell without the word belief. When somebody uses the word "Believe" then he is unsure of what he is talking about. Then how can one listen to what such a person is talking.
The Vedas Say Either Good or Bad Actions both are sins. Both points to desires. A person committing bad Karma takes birth to suffer and one committing good Karma ALSO takes birth to Enjoy. This is very logical because there is no person in the world who fully enjoys his life that means he/she commits both actions.
punarabhi jananam punarabhi maranam meaning taking birth and death repeatedly and that means there is no escape.
But is there escape really.
Yes there is.
What is that way?
There is really only ONE way in the KaliYuga.
Is it possible through Karma and Jnana Yogas?
No
Is it possible through Bhakthi Yoga?
Yes and No.
Yes because it can pave for Moksha.
No because it is not possible in Kali Yuga as Bhakthi should be like oil pouring from the tap non-stop. Can you imagine how oil pours without any interference.
Can Bhakthi be performed non-stop from the time it started till the end i.e. death? If yes then go get it (The Moksha)
If one is really interested then he will ask the question what is that ONLY way?
I know nobody is really interested but in case some rare-"body" is genuinely interested then he can send an email to me.
your another statement
But taking rebirth afterwards in the earth is a must till all your karmas are exhausted, according to Hinduism.
I dispute because it is the soul's choice to go first of all. Yes if one goes to "heaven" in the true sense to Brahmaloka (is that you meant CVRajan I hope so) then he should come bak here again but why should you want to go to heaven if there is a better place than that.
"If one is really interested then he will ask the question what is that ONLY way? I know nobody is really interested but in case some rare-"body" is genuinely interested then he can send an email to me."
I am interested....tell me what is the only way?
I am astonished to see the that YOU are interested in knowing the ONLY way out to go out of this material world.
First of all I congragulate you for showing interest.
You have made the first step towards Moksha.
There is this ONLY way and it is termed "SARANAGADHI" meaning "To SURRENDER".
Surrender to whom?
To God.
Who is God?
Lord Vishnu.
Where to get SARANAGADHI?
This is the most important question.
Before answering for the question Type the above word in Google bang you get it a lot of sites in fact.
The first one (site) is very important.
ok I answer before going any further
Go to India.
Where in India?
There are few places I know and the Easiest place to go is a city called Chennai (formerly Madras).
In Chennai where?
In Triplicane. Ok for now that is enough because it is very easy to find and go to Chennai as it is one of the 4 largest cities in India.
There are certain things to know before getting Saranagadhi while there is no restriction as to who should get it.
Just watch this video:
http://www.saranagathi.org/video/video.php?artist=
The 3 Great Acharyas Madhva Acharya, Sankara Acharya and Ramanuja Acharya.
I hope this answers your question. If there is doubt post in this comment or contact me at jockey_jill@yahoo.in
Jaisimha,
What if I were to tell you that you will not find the God Vishnu or the Goddess in India at this present moment? Do you think it could be possible that they are incarnate and alive and breathing in flesh and blood in an other part of the world at this present moment? Do you think it is possible?
Vishnu means to pervade every where with out exception. There is no place where He is not present.
Air is present everywhere in this world. Space is present every where in the universe but you cannot see. Just like that Lord Vishnu is everywhere even though you cannot see Him. He has numerous names - Vishnu sahasranama. One can totally surrender to Him thru an acharya to attain salvation. This is not same as going to heaven which is only temporary. Moksham is eternal.
Yes, I know Vishnu. I know Shiv. I know Brahman, I know Krishna. I know Ram. I know Indra. They are all the same entity, just as the Goddess is Parv, Sita, Laxmi, Devi, Durga, Kali.
They are here now, here and now.
Let me ask these questions.
Do You believe in the soul exists forever?
if yes
Do You believe the soul keeps taking births?
If Yes
Do You believe the soul will take any birth like animals, birds, plants, fish, insects according to the laws of karma?
If Yes
Do You believe that repeated births and deaths are not going to stop?
If Yes
Do You believe the repeated births and deaths can be avoided if you surrender to God?
If yes
Do You believe there is ONLY ONE God?
If yes
Do You believe that the ONLY God can give relief from births and deaths?
If yes
If your answer is No to any ONE question then....
There is only one God. The truth is that we keep coming back here because we want to. We don't HAVE to. We can stay in the spiritual worlds if we want to. We are eternal. We come here to work on ourselves. There will be a gradual change in consciousness. We are at the end of a cycle. We will never die. We are here. Kalki is here, and also Kali. Let those who have ears, hear, and those who have eyes, see. God has laws, rules. God can step over them, too.
I am understanding more about God by the Eckhart Tolle materials...he is really good. Everyone should at least read ONE Eckhart Tolle book. I am definitely interested in enlightenment in this lifetime.
Shiva, Brahma and other Demigods and Demi-godess are not same entities.
Similarly Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Paarvathi are not same.
They have different powers.
It is said in Vedas:
To consider Brahma and Shiva on an Equal level with NARAYANA (Vishnu) is an offense.
Brahma and Shiva are holding the top positions in this material universe. Brahma is the most talented being in the entire universe and the first one to come to this universe.
He was entrusted the task of creating and in reality Bhagwan Vishnu creates through Brahma and destroys through Shiva.
You should not believe the words from half baked knowledge people. The truth comes from Acharyas only.
There are innumerable universes and each and every one has Brahma and shiva. THis is not known by the material scientists as the universes are covered by shield which even Brahma can't see.
When There is no suitable entity for Brahma's Position then Vishnu himself will occupy Brahma's position.
"I am definitely interested in enlightenment in this lifetime" - This is the most important message from you and which will pave way to Moksha. But you need to take action ie SARANAGADHI.
Have you seen amoeba, virus but you believe because some authority (scientists) says so, so you believe.
Similarly when the Acharya says you have to believe.
Read about Ramanujar
http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/sri-vaishnava/4
During his time on earth, Sri Ramanuja appointed 74 of his closest disciples to serve as keepers and propogators of this proper understanding of the Eternal Truths. These 74 disciples and their continuous lineage of successors up to the present day have come to
form the Acharya Paramparai, the lineage of Spiritual Teachers. It is this lineage that each and every person is given the opportunity to link to in their formal initiation into the Sri Vaishnava faith. This link is likened to a beautiful necklace.
Sri Ramanuja serves as its main jewel, and the lineage of teachers that preceded him and follow him are precious gems that come to completion at the clasp, the Lord Sriman Narayana Himself. A Sri Vaishnava's daily spiritual practice includes meditation on this lineage. Along with one's own immediate Acharyas, the meditation proceeds through the necklace, which lists the Acharyas in reverse chronological order as follows:
Sri Manavala MamunigalSri ThiruvaiymozhiPillai
Sri PillaiLokacharya
Sri VadakkuThiruvidhiPillai
Sri Nampillai
Sri NanJeeyar
Sri ParasaraBhattar
Sri Embar
Sri Ramanuja
Sri Parankusa
Sri Yamunacharya
Sri RamaMisra
Sri Pundarikaksha
Sri Nathamuni
Sri Sattakopaya
Sri Vishvaksena
Sri (Maha Lakshmi, the Divine Mother)
Sridhara (SrimanNarayana)
The chain is garlanding the rahasyatrAyam, the three Great Secret Mantras, that every Sri Vaishnava mediatates upon daily to understand his/her true nature, the nature of God, and the relationship of Divine Love that binds us to Him Eternally.
The first of these mantras is known as the Moola mantram, which was revealed by Sriman Narayana Himself to His Disciple Nara in his Nara-Narayana avathara. The second mantra is the dvayam, which the Lord revealed to Sri, the Divine Mother. The last of these mantras, and most well-known is the charama sloka, which was revealed to Arjuna by the Lord in His avathara as Sri Krishna in Sri Bhagavad Gita.
I think it was one of Satans buddies trying to get the attention. I found a great site for this subject. http://hubpages.com/hub/Death-What-now
amazing stuff there.
Thou shall not kill -
by Jesus
What is the meaning?
Does he mean MAN should NOT kill any living being?
Jaisimha, thank you for all that technical information. Do you suggest I start with the DVAYAM mantra? How do you pronounce that? Dayam or Vayam or just as it is written?
I can assure you that Saraswati, Parvati, and Laxmi are one and the same entity. They are just different incarnations of same, and yes, of course they have different powers. Although I am not Indian in this lifetime, I have had 300+ Indian/Hindu lives. I would say that yes, Thou Shall Not Kill means exactly that...one should not kill anything...any living being. Every living being is precious, and is the spark of consciousness of the divine.
Maricarbo,
You are Perfect, for agreeing with what Jesus meant. I doubt how many Christians will agree.
Are you aware of your previous births? I know people remembering previous births but that is rare. That is also said in vedas. But remembering 300+ is mind blowing quite interesting. I have read in a book that Pyhtogoras remembered 99000 lives.
later about Mantra.
Maven101,
"Does knowledge precede belief, or does knowledge follow belief.."
Neither is true.
When there is knowledge the truth is known and the belief vanishes. When somebody says "I believe" then it means he has NO knowledge.
for example he said I believe she went out
is not the same as saying
She went out just a while ago.
You see the difference.
The darkness (ignorance) is removed by knowledge (light) and where is the question of one following or preceding the other.
It is a Rahasya (secret) Mantra and hence can't be told. It will be told only by the Guru Acharya to the one who is really interested to attain Moksha.
That Mantra can't be told other than the Gurus.
How can it be a secret mantra if it is written in this hub by you? It is not a secret any more, then...
Yes, I remember certain lives. Thanks to the Indian tradition of keeping geneologies, I know the names of many of my previous lives but I don't necessarily remember all of them. I do remember feelings about several of my previous lives; the most important ones to me.
You have to accept it ONLY possible to attain Moksha by Saranagadhi and there is no other way really.
It is known as "Rahasya" meaning "Secret" in Tamil and Sanskrit.
As I mentioned in one of my earlier Posts You have to get Saranagadhi from a qualified Guru and NOT from Ordinary mortals.
--------Here is the excerpt of my post-------
ok I answer before going any further

I cannot go to India right now....too bad India cannot come to me.
There are many and I recommend this Vanamamalai matam in Chennai.
Neither the Guru will (come to you)
God willing he will call you. It requires his Anugraham (his will).
Read the Achaarya Lineage
Here is the link:
It is in beautiful pictured form.
If there is a life after death then where are they and what do they do? I mean do they sitt on a cloud and play ping pong with god or something? I'd really want to believe in a life after death but it's just weird that the dead haven't told us all about them. Do they walk among us? Just that we can't see them? Well that's a little creepy I believe, what if I'm going to the bathroom...
Really interesting article! I hope Tere has a good time where ever see may be
They do not walk among us. There is a tunnel and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Once we go into the light at the end of the tunnel, that is it for this lifetime; we will not be allowed back to the Earth plane until we have another life programmed out for us. What do we do over there? Well, my mother just died last year. I was told that she first found herself in a large never-ending and beautiful green park, with trees and grass, where there were park benches...that was where she was met by other loved ones from other lives that she shared, young and old people, and they gathered around her to welcome her to the spiritual plane. I don't know where she went from there, but there are actual places in the spiritual realm, just like there is a New York and a San Francisco on the Earth plane, where one can go. There is a plan over there as well as a plan down here, and there are teachers and masters that she must see there, to further her progress. But when we come over from a lifetime on Earth (which is very stressful) I think there is a rest period, to fully recuperate. After you recuperate you go over your life with one of the guides or masters, and talk about what was learned and accomplished. Life is much like going to a school....always learning.
Jaisima, this is for you:
(Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
Awesome! I hope you'r right, would have been boring if life just ended. I'm going to die with a smile on my face! But in like 90 years or so. But I got to ask, do you believe God is there? And shouldn't it become a LOT of people there, I mean there's a lot of dead people. Also, if Tere couldn't come back to you then how did she appear in front of the old lady?
Have a good day!// Sam.
Thanks Maricarbo.
Pearls of Vaishnavism otherwise called as Acharya Lineage.
My dear SAM: God is everywhere. You are immersed in God, swimming in IT (so as not to place a gender on it). Just feel Its presence here and now. Listen to what Eckhart Tolle has to say...go to YouTube and you will see many of his videos. He is the clearest and easiest to understand....that can explain about God...so that you may comprehend what God actually is...God is not a white bearded old man sitting on a throne floating in the sky. God is essence of consciousness (awakeness) and LOVE. Actually, He is much more than that but one cannot put an exact description to God. Yes, there are a lot of dead souls but God recycles them into new lives on Earth and elsewhere. In other words, you will be reborn. You think God doesn't have a handle on recycling? Brother, he is the INVENTOR of it all. Ha ha ha.
Maricarbo God gave you 300+ chances in India to go out of this material world but you allowed to elude you.
It was a very, very long time ago. Things happened that prevented it. But now I am "older" and "wiser" and I am surrendering to the will of GOD. If it wills it, then I will advance in this lifetime. One always keeps coming back here anyway, if not for ones own development, then to help others.
It is just that the reason shifts....one feels the need to help others more than oneself.
Thank you for the explaination!
You actually make seens. I usually don't believe religious people but you're a smart lady. I really admire that :D Though I still don't believe in "God" I call it Faith. I believe that there's two opposits of what rules over us, Faith and Control. We can understand Control and reason with it but not Faith. And Faith doesn't understand us either. I believe Faith and Control isn't a person or an item. It's in us all. I believe we're all devine, and that's why I believe that if we really want to, we can make the world stop and make a loop.
But it's just a theary of mine.
(*The two biggest reasons to why I don't call Faith and Control God is because people call God HE which pisses me off and that God isn't in two. I donät think anything exists without an opposite."
Good day, people// Sam ^.^
Sam,
Well you are right in that God is not a particular gender. God is all that there is: we are swimming in It. But this "It" has conscious awareness. Else I wouldn't be writing this, and you wouldn't be refuting it. God is like the ocean, and we are the fish in the sea...totally submerged. We call God our "father" because it is what created us. But you can also call God "mother," and it will not make one bit of difference. It doesn't matter to God what we call It, just as long as we acknowledge It, because, It loves Its creation, and likes that....It likes to be acknowledged and spoken to, and communicated with. It likes to experience everything....in every world and in every universe....to answer your question about why Tere decided to come back at that moment, it was because she knew that I was not sensitive enough to perceive her on my own, and she waited patiently until a psychic person came my way....one who could actually perceive her. I am so thankful to her for waiting for that long...(well, in Earth years, that is....) I don't know how that translates in time over in the spiritual worlds because I believe there is no time over there; or it is perceived differently...
What a wonderful hub! I believe there is life after death. When we die we judge ourselves in the divine light of reality and choose where we end up. God exists. No doubt about that. I think though, that each soul is born only once...
Thanks, Marcofrat,
Yes, we do just that...we are the ones who ultimately judge ourselves. But God is of an infinite mercy, and IT would like us all to graduate from this school. So you may view your different incarnations as grade levels of learning. It is not a matter of belief. It is a matter of knowing what IS. There is no doubt in my mind that we ALL reincarnate as many times as is necessary to iron out all of our issues so that we may eventually bask in the love and light of our creator, when we are finally purified enough to be worthy. At this moment I think that only Jesus is worthy. we all have a long way to go, but we all must learn about the many facets of LOVE without a doubt.
Okay, you've got a really good point of view of the world. I really like you're comments. Keep doing the good work!
Thanks// Sam
Thank you for the interesting story. Because I have been an intuitive reader for over 25 years I find the story to be familiar. It really is possible to see (almost like a dream) an image standing at your side. The image is not at all like a physical human body. If you close your eyes and try to imagine your own grandmom or friend or even your dog-you will know exactly how a psychic sees those from the other side.
Additionally, it is good to hear favorable feedback concerning intuitive readings. So many who promise to be intuitive are not. This is just too bad for those of us who really do wish to share this gift. Anyway, good work on all your hubs. Good topics....

Thanks, Shealy! Thanks for being a testament to what is true and real!
Ah the wonderful stories of truth the living tell that from beyond the grave are the best tales of all--multi dimensional truthseekers and sharers as your hub is one of the more delightful on the subject. Thank you so much for sharing and also now believing.

this is a small story but I think you will like it :).
When I was in foster care my foster mom one day came out of her room in the morning and told me she had had a very weird experience in the shower. She said that she had felt her uncle was there with her, but he was alive! She thought it was so weird she wanted to tell someone and knew that I was interested in the unseen things of this world. We both agreed it was odd and got on with the day. Later that afternoon there was a call, her uncle had died very early that morning! We both were convinced that he had passed through as a way of trying to say good bye.
Yes, yes, definitely, Kirstenblog, I have also heard that sometimes just as someone is dying they will retrace their steps. I was told my grandfather did just that as he was dying. My mother saw him traverse the house, and go into his room, and all the way around the house on the inside, so as to "take one last look." I never forgot that, either. Things from the spirit world that we know very little of....interesting stuff!
I am glad you enjoyed my little story :). It is my only personal type experience. I have read loads of stories and books about this sort of stuff. I do not find it difficult to believe these kinds of stories and experiences as I personally believe that I am more then just the sum of my parts. I am more then just electrical synapses and chemical balances. The nature of the after life is a mystery that will not be revealed to me so long as I am alive but its a lot of fun to try to imagine. I read this book (can't remember what it was called) that was written by a woman who channeled spirits through automatic writing, she channeled the spirit of a dead psychic to write this book describing the after life. The way it was described was beautiful, I would recommend it if I could remember the name- might have to try to find it later :).
You would really enjoy Michael Newton's books. He is a Psychologist or Psychiatrist who does regressions and has written several books on the subject. I started with Journey of Souls. You will not put it down. Then there is the second book, which I also read. He compiled a "roadmap" of the afterlife by bits and pieces given to him through different sessions with different people. In the afterlife there are actual places where you can visit and they will coincide with what other people "report" who have come back from the afterlife to live and tell about it. Highly interesting material if you want to know what is over there.....on the other side!

The after 'mortal' life is a fascinating subject. I found your hub, and the accompanying comments, very interesting. EnglishM.
humans create these wild fantasy’s because we are aware that at some point we will die...the most fanatical religious types can't deal with that fact...so they believe that they will be re-incarnated or go to some fictional happy place...while the bad people will go to a fictional bad place...
Dear Russell,
Do you believe that Alaska exists? Have you ever been there? I have not, but I believe people who tell me that they've been there. Just because I have not had the experience of Alaska does not mean that it does not exist. And I do hope to visit there sometime before I die to this life, if I'm not too old. I am not afraid of death, because I know that I am eternal and I cannot possibly die. Are you afraid of death? Possibly, if you are commenting this. But do not be...because you are also eternal and you will never die.
What a nice true story. You do know that when you get there you also have a life and things to do. No one really rests. I loved this story. Thanks for sharing aand I will join your fanclub.
Dear Lady,
Tell us about the lives we have there, and the things we do on the "other" side, if you can. I think you are right. I do know that most of the time we are "studying" to be better.
But I want to know what you say about it. My mother died in March of 08. I wonder what she's been up to over there.
Some rest for a few---time is not the same as it is here. A few months there could be many years here. Some want to come right back as soon as they can. Just as we have past lives here we also have those past lives there (home).
For instance, I haven't written about this one yet, I was brought to a place that I remembered being in there many years ago. It was not in a gold building or anything like that. I was with a lot of others where I was and we lived in like tents, but the tents weren't of canvas, they were like sheer curtain material. All of them were see through and no one minded because we didn't have these kinds of bodies we have here. The colors there are so much more brighter there. These structures were our homes while we were there. We were near a stream and it flowed so clear and made such a beautiful noise and it flowed down stream and around a bend. We would go down to this stream and just wade our feet in it. Some would hop in and play, but most of us just sat there in rest and repose. It was a quiet place there and very serene. Sometimes I even wonder why I left there to come here. This place on this Earth is a learning place--a school if you will. We learn all the what if's and gain knowledge about ourselves through all the other contacts that we have here because most of those are the one's whom we have always had at our home. Everyone helps others grow.
There are schools elewhere too, not just our planet. Even there there are things to do and see and learn. We never truly rest as in sleep. I do know that there is a kind of initiation period of about 3 months (our time) and some can be a bit longer or even shorter. It's just a time to reaquaint us to there and also to review what he learned and what we need to work on more and devise a plan on getting that accomplished.
That is why Jesus says that there are many rooms in his mansion and that he needs time to prepare one for those coming back home.
Thanks, Lady Guinevere, for your comments. I know I've gone back hundreds of times, but I just have this silly anmesia....
That silly amnesia is there for a reason. If you knew the problems you would have to go through in this life do you think you would go through them at all to learn the lessons in which you are to learn? Probably not. I know I wouldn't!
Yes, there is a reason for everything....it is just that we don't perceive it until after its work or purpose has been utilized....then we say, "Oh, that was because of this...."
Eckhart Tolle has all the answers and is so easy to follow his way of writing is for the layman (we mostly are)he has changed my life with HIS clear UNDERSTANDING of all matters regarding our ' being' read him !
AMEN TO THAT, BROTHER!

Interesting story...Thank you..
Don't you think it rather strange that the seer described your friend as having a corporal body when one would think a departed soul would be ethereal..? ...And being encumbered with a heavy cane, indicating a continuing need for such...lot of detail here...I suspect the seer had inside information you are unaware of that was available to her...Sometimes we want something so much that we unknowingly go to extraordinary lengths to realize them...
On the positive side, it had to be comforting for you to relive that childhood experience with Tere and once again recall your affection for her...
