Hi mara

Sounds interesting about the pomegranate.

In reference to the seven levels It sounds similar to the teachings I have been accustomed to regarding the basic stone/metal experience up to human & then the levels of the subtle & mental worlds followed by what I call the 2nd 3rd & 4th journey.

There can still be illusion up 2 the mental worlds There are 6 levels within the subtle to mental levels - very few reach the higher mental planes. Enlightenment is needed to proceed to the 2nd journey where Infinite power knowledge & bliss is experienced. Only 5 perfect masters have attained the 3rd & the 4th is where there is no self identity at all only the complete existence/consciousness of God.

Good luck In your Journey

I have learned through my studies that the after life is so wonderful that we have no concious memory of it or we would all be committing suicide to go back. So we have no memory of the five years before we were born because we were either in heaven or another body. Maybe not heaven proper but a place where we all go to decompress from this life before we make the decision to give life another try in another body. That's what I have learned. About 20 years ago I had been seeing another woman (I say this shamefully) for three years. Her husband became suspicious and had her followed. We met in a motel room as always. While we were lying on the bed talking I saw my father's face float by on the wall just as if he was there in real life. That should have been a clue to me but I thought how strange. Later that day after turning my pager back on I found that my father had died that morning. I also found out that the people following her had taken photos of us going into the room and turned them over to her husband. Need I say more about that? The point is I believe my father was trying to warn me or say goodbye or something but that's the last time that has ever happened. I know it was not my imagination.

Warwick, I totally agree 100% with your assessment and idea of who/what is God. As you so aptly state, people have something bad happen in their life or see something terrible happen then they look up and say, "where was God." They don't take into consideration that we have free will to do what ever we want - no matter what the out come. It is our choice and we make our lives what they are, no one else. I firmly believe we are responsible for every event in our life but I do believe we have some devine intervention along the way - perhaps from the spirit within. Religion has given the God most people picture a bad name and...don't get me started on that but that was a great post, thanks.

Hi,
My mother in law died in 2006 we knew she didn't have long left,she chose to go home to her parents house in whitehaven in her final days.As I live in cumbria I only managed to see her twice before she past.One night I was really restless and could not sleep I tossed and turned all night before falling into a deep peaceful sleep at 6:15am.I was woken up at 7:30 by my sister in law she phoned me to let me know that my mother in law had passed over at 6:15.On the night of her funeral I went to bed and when I got up the next day the clock in my living room had stopped at the time she died.I have only dremt about her once since she died but my mum who was a close friend of hers dreams about her everytime there is some kind of family crisis.My mum didnt get to see her before she was buried because they had closed the casket before we could get there but said that everytime she dreams about her she is wearing a long pink silk nightie which is what she was buried in.

A couple of years after my dad died, I had a very bad case of chicken pox, which lasted for about 2 weeks. I had poxes all over my body and felt very itchy and uncomfortable.

About the third or fourth day of my chicken pox, the poxes were increasing and I had a terrible headache, very high fever and couldn't eat anything. I had a loss of appetite and couldn't put any food down. If I ate, I threw up. It was hard for me to even sleep because the poxes hurt and felt itchy at the same time. I called out to my dad for help ( in my head). I said,"Dad. Dad. Please come to me. I'm very sick. Please help me. Come to me, dad. Please. Please." Shortly after I talked to him in my head, I felt drowsy and fell asleep.

I dreamt ( it didn't feel like a dream, though. It felt so real.) that dad opened the door and came in. He looked at me sadly and said," I'm sorry, hun. I shouldn't have left you and mom. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I told him it was okay. It was his time to go and it was okay. He just kept looking at me, with a very concerned and sad expression on his face, like he was worried about my chicken pox. He told me to go to sleep, and I did.

When I woke up, my mother told me that she woke up at night, to see my dad sitting on the chair near the bed, looking at me, with a worried look on his face. My mother told me that dad probably knew that I was sick so he came to visit, to see how I was doing.

A neighbor, an elderly woman, told me that last night, she saw my dad standing in front of the house, looking up at my bedroom window with a concerned look on his face. She said he stood there for a long time and when she went out and called him, he looked at her and disappeared.

Anyway, that's my proof of life after life. I do believe that life goes on- even after death !

my close freind has been fighting cancer for the last six years,she often spoke of how she will come back to my wife and me after death if she can,and she would turn the tv over.she sadly passed away on wednesday my wife and another close freind was with her when she passed away.when my wife returned home and told me the bad news we was sitting talking about her and the sky box switched itself off i got a warm feeling down my back as did my wife and i know for certain this was her saying her last goodbye.the other close freind that was with my wife on the time of her passing was going to pick her children up and give them the bad news,she could smell the perfume off her really strongly in her car.
also a few years ago i was in a car on the motorway i was rolling a cigarette with my forearms on the steeing wheel and i heard my nannas voice shout "get both your hands on the wheel",it wasnt imagination because i wasnt thinking about her or anything it shook me up.i have also sent thought out to my nana when my wife has been going to the spiritulist church and my nanna has come through with messages propper spot on ones about missed doctors apoinments,about me moaning about my tablets being a waste of time and lots of other specific things theres no doubt in my mind that we survive death

Over the last few weeks I have been experience things, on the 17th September 2008 my father died of cancer, I was very close to him and my mother says I look a lot like him. A while ago I had two dreams of him. The first one me and my mother were coming back from somewhere, I walked through the front door and he was in the passage, I ran to him and he disappeared, I then walked into the front room and he was sitting in the chair we called his reading his newspaper like he did every morning and night. The second one I was out in my street with my friends, my mother came outside and said we had a visitor, I turned around and she was standing at the door with him, I ran up to him, this time he didn't disappear and I hugged him, the hug was so vivid, I could smell him and feel him. I asked her what he was doing here, she said he was visiting from heaven and had to go soon, I started crying and then I woke up. Was he visiting me?
After that nothing really happened for a while, then one night I was sitting where I am now, my dad had this thing of going for a nap at around 5:00pm he would wake up about 8:00pm one night at around that time I had a feeling someone was with me, then I smelled the smell he would have after the shower, it didn't last long, but it was definitely there.
Recently I have started experiencing things, well, not just me, they have happened in the house, our house alarm went off a few weeks ago, we can't find a logical reason for it going off, it was turned off when it went off in the middle of the night, so nothing could have triggered it could it? Another thing was our sink, I was getting a drink one night when I noticed it had been cleaned, I shrugged it off presuming my mother had cleaned it, but the next day my older brothers were at our house decorating, she asked them if they had cleaned it and they hadn't, so my mother obviously hadn't. I had the most extraordinary feeling that my father had done that. Also, not long after he passed away my mother felt a light breeze on her head while she was going to sleep, my aunty emailed a spiritualist about it, they told her it was my father telling her he was okay. A few months ago I felt the same thing on my arm after seeing a cloud in the shape of an angel in the sky. It was amazing.
Sometimes when I am trying to get to sleep I have the most amazing feeling that someone is standing at my bedside. Sometimes I question whether I have some sort of ability to have contact with the spirit world, a crazy thought I know, but after all this I think anyone would.
