Good questions..
When a person dies, their conscious awareness expands beyond their physical body through their soul. The human soul is much larger than the physical body it manifests.
The judgement or life review process described in Hebrews 9:28 is merely our conscious awareness expanding through these stored memories. The same happens when a person says, “My life flashed before my eyes.”
The stored memories in other people’s souls are physical to my perception. They become physical when viewed from a higher frequency of consciousness.
There is a layer of darkness between here and Heaven. Some religions calk this layer of darkness the “bardo.” This layer serves as an etheric fence to keep souls holding onto sin out of Heaven.
There are illusions an misshapen beings like gargoyles in the darkness. When a soul perceives them, fear grows. The heaviness of fear consciousness causes the soul to drift back down here. Thus souls containing “sin” which are obstacles to Love in their soul. Prohibit them from crossing to Heaven.
When people die, I say a prayer for the portal to Heaven, the tunnel, to open and the Light of Heaven to shine down upon the soul and guide it across. When the Love and Bliss hits a soul, it functions as a kind of tractor beam, guiding them across.
When the Light from Heaven touches a soul, it casts out all fear.
Fear is the tool of satan and used to keep souls stuck here.
How do I know? When the Light of Heaven reaches down, there is no mistaking the feeling beyond words. If someone offered me a million dollars to give up experiencing it just one time, I would laugh at them.
The Love and Bliss of Heaven is beyond words of description. I feel it while thinking of it to write these words. Some of you can feel it while reading this as we are all One and connected at the higher levels.
You speak of Heaven a lot, but is there a Hell? If so how does that fit in with what you laid out? Does it conform to the Christian notion?
