The Spirit World Chronicles is an ongoing series based on channeled accounts of what the afterlife is like. Some of the material examined in this series dates back to nearly a century ago, and the referenced sources discuss a wide range of topics that have to do with life after death and the conditions of the realms beyond.
If you’re reading this, you probably have some idea that death as we perceive it isn’t the end of life. Even though the physical body dies, the spirit encapsulated within it goes on to the next, more advanced stage of consciousness, which is known by a lot of different names.
Like some seekers, I choose to refer to the place we go when our bodies die as the fourth dimension, because it’s the next natural stage in our growth and evolution.
We’re currently incarnate in the third dimension, experiencing life from within the heavy meat suits we’ve taken on that we call ‘bodies’, but when our bodies cease to function, we’ll be back in a more refined state of consciousness and our perceptual freedoms will be much less limited than they are here on earth.
Feel free to believe in life after death or not, but if you don’t, you won’t appreciate this report or the plentiful other reports that have preceded it.
I’ve published all of these reports under the name The Spirit World Chronicles, and I’d like to pick them back up with a discussion about the manner in which departed souls convene with their loved ones in the fourth-dimensional realm known as the ‘Borderlands’.
Those of you who kept up with my previous reports about life after death will know that the Borderlands is the initial fourth-dimensional realm a departed soul goes to, and it’s in this realm that they’re able to realize they’ve physically died and adjust to the conditions of the fourth dimension, which are quite different from the earth’s.
It’s been said that the fourth dimension resembles the third in some ways, but in others, it’s completely different. This can especially be said for the higher fourth-dimensional realms, which we’ll eventually study, but for this report, we’ll stick to the Borderlands, which we still have a lot to learn about.
One of the things we have yet to learn about the Borderlands is that departed spirits communicate with their fellow departed loved ones there, and we’re going to learn about this natural phenomenon here.
Personally, I have a few departed family members who I can envision meeting up and hanging out in the Borderlands and beyond, and if nothing else, the material we’ll examine from our channeled sources in the fourth dimension is comforting to those who’ve wondered if the consciousness of the people they’ve lost is still intact.
It is, but just where an individual goes when their body dies depends on their actions in life; how they chose to live and treat others. Living in love will almost always guarantee a positive experience of the ‘afterlife’, but living for greed and hatred could make the experience more difficult.
This isn’t because there’s some stern judge who appoints us to the place that’s best for us based on those actions when we die – it’s because we create our reality, in the third and fourth dimensions, and we’ll naturally gravitate to whatever qualities we fed on earth, whether they were lighted or considerably darker.
With all of this said, we’ll examine some quotes from our fourth-dimensional sources about the meetings that take place between newly departed spirits and their loved ones who passed away before them.
Mike Swain tells us that his family was there for him when he passed on.
“All our family, even the ones we didn’t
know when we were on the earth, were here to welcome us. They made us
feel wanted and very much at home!” (1)
Donald Macleod tells us about the rejoicing that took place as someone he knew arrived in the Borderlands.
“All were rejoicing at the return of the wanderer.” (2)
A sailor who passed away tells us that his father was there for him when he entered spirit.
“Dad came to me soon after I realised [I
was dead] and we had a great time together. It seems queer to call him
Dad, he’s younger than I am now, at least he looks it.” (3)
It’s interesting to think that certain characters we were familiar
with in life will change their form to appear younger in spirit, but it
makes perfect sense. Why remain old if you can be young again? It
might’ve been confusing for the sailor to perceive his father in such a
way, but I’m sure it didn’t stop him from recognizing the man.No matter what age they are, it’d be hard not to recognize our own family!
W.T. Stead, who passed away on the Titanic, describes what it was like to walk around with his father and another friend.
“I found myself in company with two old
friends, one of them my father. He came to be with me, to help and
generally show me round. It was like nothing else so much as merely
arriving in a foreign country and having a chum to go around with. That
was the principal sensation.
“The scene from which we had so lately
come (the Titanic) was already well relegated to the past. Having
accepted the change of death, all the horror of our late experience had
gone.” (4)
The grief Stead felt as he physically died was replaced with pure joy
and wonder at the realm he was now experiencing, he shares.
“It might have been fifty years ago
instead of, perhaps, only last night. Consequently our pleasure in the
new land was not marred by grief at being parted from earth friends.
“I will not say that none were unhappy,
many were; but that was because they did not understand the nearness of
the two worlds; they did not know what was possible, but to those who
understood the possibilities, it was in a sense the feeling, ‘Let us
enjoy a little of this new land before mailing our news home’; therefore
there was little grief on our arrival. (5)
It’d be difficult not to be a little disappointed or depressed given
that they’d just left their friends and family on earth, but the
interesting new realm they were now in, as well as their realization
that death isn’t the end of life, probably helped alleviate some of the
emotional pain.It’d take a master not to be upset at the time of their death, but this passage from Stead goes to show that grief doesn’t have to overtake the recently deceased.
Again, it comes down to how one chooses to live their life on earth, and if they embrace love and selflessness, they’ll have a much easier time adjusting to the fourth dimension and they might even be able to communicate with a receptive medium on earth if they practice.
Communicating with an earthly medium can be just as difficult in the fourth dimension as connecting with a fourth-dimensional soul is on earth, but with love in one’s heart and the willingness to explore their abilities, anything’s possible – especially from the other side of the veil.
