Chapter 9 – Love beyond this world
Many of us have experiences we know are not of this world.
Let me share this one with you. Trying to find the words is a challenge, because it is powerful beyond description. As I write, I do so with a tear in my eye… One night when I went to bed, I asked the Spirit world a question. This is something I often do prior to sleeping, to prime my mind to receive whatever they might have to share with me. This time, my question was to show me more of their world, to understand the world of Spirit more deeply. I yearned to know what it really is like there. I was so excited as I asked this question, truly hoping to go into their world as I slept and learn more about life beyond the veil.
Drifting off to sleep, I had a profound experience. I began to feel as if I were floating from this dimension to the next, supported by many hands as I transitioned towards the most brilliant Light. Within this light stood a clearly formed silhouette. I could observe this silhouette, and yet at the same time, it was like I was the silhouette standing in the light. For the life of me, there were so many questions going through my mind upon waking. Deep within I knew I was the silhouette, but at the same time, I wasn’t limited to being this silhouette—I was aware of multiple other things, too. Everything was seen simultaneously. A million and one feelings came to me through my spiritual senses. Today I understand this silhouette is how the soul body presents itself and lives on in the Other World. What I know now is that Divine Love lives in the heart of the Light — bright, clear, pristine and pure. There is no doubt in my mind about this fact. Life has not been the same since my understanding of the words ‘Light’ and ‘Love’ has been expanded in this way. Being touched by the Light removed all the limiting perimeters I had built around these words, releasing me from all the misconceptions I had made up in my mind about what they meant in the past. I had heard people throw these words around frivolously many times to the point where they seemed to have no meaning. Only after I had a direct encounter with this Light and Love did I fully know the truth contained inside these words.
