Where
you are is Where you will be

You
are a spirit at this moment as much as you are ever going to be.
You are of the Light. The original sin that we all make in our
lives is that we have forgotten who we are. That's what the original
sin really is. When Jesus and the other Master teachers came into
the world, they came to help us remember who we are. So, who are
you anyway? You are a Holy Divine Spirit - a part of God. Who
else could you possibly be? God loves you.
It
is important to realize that you always have been here and always
will be here. A group of seekers once asked a great spiritual
teacher, "Do you believe that you live?" The teacher
answered, "How can I die? I was never born. I am that which
is changeless, observing that which is changing, so there is a
part of me that has changed." To understand this, you must
believe you live after you die.
If
you want to know what it is like when you pass over to the other
side take a moment and close your eyes. Now open your eyes! This
is it! This is what it is like to be in the spirit world! You
may say, "No, there has to be more to it than this."
No, that is one of the reasons why when some people pass over
suddenly, they don't know they are dead. So you're a spirit now
as much as you are ever going to be.
Jesus
said that, "There are many rooms in my Father's house."
So there are many rooms, and to me that really means that there
are many different spirit worlds. Let me ask you a question. If
you're a spirit now as much as you're ever going to be and you're
living here could it be that this world is one of the spirit worlds?
You may say, "No, that cannot be possible. Look at me I am
solid." I assure you that it is possible and that we can
prove to you that this world is not solid. If I had a big enough
magnifying glass and put it up to your body, you could see that
you are not solid at all. You are made of energy and information
and inside there somewhere, there is a Holy Divine Spirit or God.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. So that's why people from the
other side tell us that they are doing things like continuing
to practice music, or to study, or any of a million other activities.
What else could they possibly do? They are getting on with their
lives.
Now
a ghost is a spirit with unfinished business. I pray that when
we leave this world, we don't become confused and that we don't
hang around since we have better things to do. That's not to say
that it is not possible for souls to come back, visit us, and
encourage us. They do that by simply thinking at us. That is how
people from the other side like communicate to with us - they
think at us.
I remember
that there was a young man who was going though the trauma as
his teacher was passing on. He said to the teacher, "Please
don't die. Please don't go." The teacher responded, "Die?
Go? Where would I possibly go?" The teacher understood that
wherever you are, there you will be. That's why it's very important
in this life time that you appreciate every day, every moment.
Not only do you live forever but where ever you are, there you
will be. So if you pass into the next life with fear and anger
and lots of negative things in your heart, in your soul - that's
where you will be. Heaven is a state of mind. It is not a place.
It is not a different place. It is not a physical place. The Master
teachers come into this world to help us to awaken - awaken for
them. When Lord Buddha was in the world (the word ‘Buddha'
means ‘to be awake'), they started a sole religion after
a person who remembered who he was one day and woke up. Someday,
I hope we will all begin to remember who you are. When we do,
we will change the world and through awareness of who we are,
we will be reunited with the Divine spark within us.
