Expanding Beyond the Body Q: When people are experiencing a great deal of physical pain, I notice that they forget. It's like their soul leaves because there is so much trauma. Where do they go? B: Generally speaking, you expand your consciousness into, what you would call, the astral or ethereal realms. Q: And if and when we are able to reincorporate with the body, then we come back? Do we ever leave a little piece of us flying out there somewhere? B: All right. From one perspective I will say that is actually a very fair question. First of all, the question of leaving your body is not literally leaving your body. Your consciousness is not in your body; your body is in your consciousness. You expand beyond the concept of your body momentarily, but from the physical perspective you say, "l'm leaving my body." The idea is that your Oversoul, your Higher self is already out there, it's already expanded. You're just shifting your focus from this kind of focus to that kind of focus, momentarily. When you choose to reincorporate, to refocus, in a sense, yes, the experience has changed you. The expansive experience has changed you in a certain way and, in a manner of speaking, you do not quite come back the same way. So it could be said you leave a little bit of yourself out there. You are different. Q: And when they actually die, then what happens? B: For some of you the idea is that death is recognized as multi-leveled, stretching through many dimensions of experience, connecting many dimensions of experience. You can take one of your elevators to any floor. Understand? Transformations occur all the time and death, physical death is simply one more of them. You need not necessarily treat it as a negative thing. You will understand that it is all simply transformational. Q: My mother is ill with cancer and I was just told today that there is nothing more that can be done for her. B: All right. There are many more things to do. Q: Well, that's what I'd like to know. B: One of them simply is, if that individual has chosen now to become non- physical, then you can assist them in the transference from physicality to non-physicality, so that there will be a small or no degree of confusion about where they are and what they can do once they are non-physical. Because many individuals in your reality will find that once you become non- physical, you may at first carry with you the strongest belief you had about life when you were still physically alive. And that will create a reality around you that you will perceive to be the real reality. Because you are non-physical, you are a thought-form in a world of thought-forms, and what you think is instantly what seems to be physically real around you. And that is why many individuals may not even know they have died, when they have died. Therefore, you can be of great assistance to that individual if they have chosen to become non-physical, to allow them to become non-physical with dignity, with joy and effortlessness, with love, with ecstasy, with ease. To allow them to know, to allow them to remember that it is only the idea of stepping from one room to another room in the same house, that is all death is. They have made their choices. Allow them to do so with dignity. There is no real separation; there is no real loss. The love is always there; it is always able to be felt. You are never out of touch unless you believe that you are. So allow yourself to simply take stock of what you are learning about yourself from this situation, because there is obviously a reason why you are involved with that individual and why they are going through what they are going through at this time. There is something for you to learn about yourself as well as what they are learning about themselves. Use all the knowledge in a positive way and you will enlighten yourself. Raise your vibratory level and you may then be quite astonished to find that, if and when they choose to make their transference to non- physicality, your willingness to treat the whole endeavor in a positive way, by raising your vibration, will mean that when they transfer into non- physical reality they are not actually "so far above you" as you used to think. Just a little side step to the corner, that is all. The difference between physical reality and nonphysical reality, what you call physical life and physical death, is not as large as you think. It is a very, very short step between your physical vibration, that which makes you physical, and that which allows you to be non-physical. A very short step, very short. You are quite consciously holding yourself in physical reality, if that is where you find yourself to be. A very small shift is all that is required to go into non-physical existence. Therefore, allow yourself to project your love to that individual so they can use your love to slide gently into that next vibratory level. Then you will remain in communication as you need to and you will not feel that you are out of touch. You follow me? Does this assist you? Q: Yes, it does. B: Thank you very much. Give that individual our love, if you will. Q: Thank you.
