Love Transcends All
The death of someone close is first and foremost a time for reminding us of our own mortality and that our time on this plane of life is limited, too. It is a time for taking stock and assessing the things that are truly important to us, and then making sure not to neglect them. For anyone who has already developed eyes to see beyond the seeming reality of life in physicality, someone’s passing can become a very uplifting experience. They may then be able to see for themselves that there is no death, and that there is absolute continuity in the processes of life, as the song of the rose tells us. If our relationship with the one who moved on was a truly loving one, then death does not exist.
Being the law of life, love transcends everything. It knows no limitations and boundaries, neither space nor time. All-forgiving and all-embracing, immortal and eternal, it cannot be damaged or destroyed by anything or anyone. Once we have developed this aspect of our nature, it is ours to keep forever. Our physical body can be hurt and taken from us, but nothing and nobody can hurt or harm our true inner Self. As part of God’s consciousness, it is spirit and pure love, unending and everlasting, just like our Creator.
As soon as the purpose of each lifetime has been fulfilled, God releases us from the prison of our physical body, and allows us to pass into a different state of life. The physical body is but an exterior husk that is shed when it is no longer of any use to us. That’s why it dies. It is a process that can be likened to the shelling of a pea. As the mortal remains are returned to Mother Earth, the most precious inner and higher part, our soul and spirit, lives on and moves on into another dimension.
No-one who passes on into the world of spirit automatically become an Angel and develops wings of light! We are what we are and the evolutionary level the soul has reached in this earthly existence at any given and the learning it has gained from its experiences, that’s the only luggage that is allowed on this very special journey. Reaching higher levels has to be earned and very hard work on ourselves, our character and behaviour is required by each one of us whilst in physicality.
Every soul who re-enters the world of spirit first rests and receives healing. After a while its learning continues, if it so wishes. Spiritually, nobody ever forces us into anything, we are given always choices. But, as evolution is the law of life and every soul wants to progress, each one eventually reaches the point when it is ready to apply for another lifetime in physicality. It then wants to be reborn into another lifetime, more growth and learning through yet another life’s experience. The scriptures describe this beautifully in Ecclesiastes 3:1-11:
To Everything, There Is A Season
And a time for every purpose under the Sun:
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time
To pluck up that which has been planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to cast away stones and
A time to gather stones together.
A time to embrace and
A time to refrain from embracing.
A time to lose and a time to seek.
A time to tie up and a time to untie.
A time to rend and a time to sew.
A time to keep silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace –
He has made everything beautiful, in its time.

There were times when during our earthly sojourns
We had forgotten God’s true nature and our own;
When we thought that the death at the end of
Each one of them was the end of everything;
When we didn’t know that our departure from one level of life
Means to be reborn into our true home
And returning into the awareness of our real nature.
Our ignorance sucked us and our world ever deeper
Into the patriarchy with its warmongering
That dragged us into times of ever more seriously
Hurting and wounding others and being wounded.
All human souls have to imbibe thoroughly
The lessons this brings to us and our world
To help us differentiate between conditions of war and peace.
Out of the suffering of such evolutionary periods grows
The wisdom and understanding we need
For the permission from the Highest to return into
The knowledge of who and what we truly are.
This renews and rekindles
Our kinship and friendship with all life.
Rejoice, that time is now.
A time for finding forgiveness and healing,
For ourselves, each other, our world and all worlds,
For attending to and blessing the soul wounds of all lifetimes,
Our own and everybody else’s,
As well as those of our world.
That’s what the Age of Aquarius means to me.
Ecclesiastes is one of the most ancient parts of the Old Testament. It has its roots in Judaism and from there they penetrate ever deeper into the much older spiritual traditions of the Middle East and Africa, and in particular the Ancient Egyptian religion.
