How to Prepare for Death - Geoffrey Hodson |
|
The Heaven Awaiting Us |
|
The gradual withdrawal from the material towards the more spiritual worlds, which normally begins at death, culminates in entry into perfect happiness and fulfillment. This state of supreme content is a heaven indeed; for in it every aspiration is fulfilled, every feeling of unselfish love is completely expressed. In the heaven to which the departed withdraws in this second phase of the life after death, all loved ones are perceived as intimately present; all truth, all beauty, all peace, all love and happiness which the deceased is capable of experiencing, heal, uplift and reorient the soul after its essential and fruitful sojourn on earth. |
|
Herein, also, we perceive the precise operation of the law of cause and effect; for all experiences after death are the effects of causes set going during earth life. Their richness is also exactly proportionate to the depth of the causative feelings, thoughts and aspirations. |
