What Happens When We "Die". Is That All There Is?

In reality there is no "Death". The soul is a living potential temporarily housed in four vessels, four lower bodies, while in "physical" incarnation for the purpose of gaining mastery in the correct (righteous) use of God's energy. Time and Space provide artificial coordinates for the soul to navigate in while growing in wisdom and knowledge and righteousness.

The four lower bodies vibrate at different frequencies but are all considered part of our "physical" body. They are:

Etheric body; the highest vibrating vessel is our Fire body. This is the body of Memory and contains all of the records of all our incarnations. The chakras are the organs of the etheric body and act as step down transformers for the energy of God which we receive from the heart of God over the Crystal Cord which is also called the Crystal River of the Water of Life (Rev 22:1). The soul is tethered to our "physical" bodies at the Seat of the Soul chakra which is half way between the base of the spine and the navel. When we get a "gut" feeling, an intuitive sense or warning, it may be from our soul or Higher Self trying to inform, warn or instruct us.

Mental body; our Air Body is the body of mind and cognition. The brain is like a computer and storage device which the mind uses but it is not the only such. The heart and the gut also have neurons for processing and storing information. This is our "lower mind". Our Higher Mind is also called our Holy Christ-Krishna Self which resides just above us in vibration in another dimension. Within the Secret Chamber of the Heart chakra burns an Unfed Threefold Flame (Blue Flame=Power=Father=Brahma, Yellow Flame=Wisdom=Son=Christ-Krishna=Vishnu, Pink Flame=Love=Holy Spirit=Shiva) which is also known as the Spirit of the Son of God (Gal 4:6). This Flame is our "Portal" or "Open Door" to the kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21). When the soul unites with this Flame in stages, it puts on that Christ-Krishna Mind (Phil 2:5) and the individualized Presence of God, the Mighty I Am Presence, draws closer to us.

Emotional (Astral) body; our Water body is the body of desire which should reflect God's desires in and through us. Emotion means "energy in motion". If we are able to maintain calm in our emotions then the emotional body will reflect the "image" of God and our Great Causal Body of Light. If we allow our emotional body to be disturbed and upset then it can quickly become like a "raging sea", tumultuous, tempestuous, angry and ferocious. It's angry waves will lash out at others trying to "upset" them. There is tremendous power in the ocean and in our desire body and the misuse of energy resulting from an "out of control" emotional body results in serious negative karma.

Physical body; our Earth body gives us mobility and the ability to manipulate "material" substance. It is the body that we most identify with because it is the body that we can "see". Because the brain is a physical instrument, more attention is paid to it than to the Higher or lower mind which uses it. The center of Higher intelligence is actually the heart, and the Flame within our Heart of hearts, as I stated earlier.

The Physical Plane is the place of experimentation and change. Here is where we perform our experiments in life using the energy of God. The impartial and impersonal laws of Karma and Re-incarnation provide a tutorial function to instruct the soul on the results of it's experiments, both positive and negative. The soul experiences the "effects" of its "sowings" by the conditions it encounters in subsequent incarnations both in the state of its four lower bodies and in the circumstances and situations it encounters during those incarnations.

When the Physical body is at rest in sleep, or deep meditation, the soul is free to travel in either the Etheric body or in the Astral body. When the soul departs the Physical body in these sojourns it is said that it is "dead" to the Physical body. Thus the expression "I die daily" (1 Cor 15:31) refers to this departure. Since there really is no time or space, the soul may travel instantly to far distant locals, even other planets or the sun, and return. The state of consciousness of the soul and the purpose intended for it, determines whether the soul travels in the Etheric or in the Astral body.

The Etheric Plane (Heaven) contains 33 levels of light, of frequency, of dimension from Devacon (wish fulfillment) to just below the Ascended Octaves of Eternal Life, Light and Freedom. Beings like us who have graduated from the planetary schoolrooms and have re-united with their God Presence are known as Ascended Masters and may bear the title of God or Goddess of a particular virtue of God. These great beings of Light maintain Spiritual Retreats and Universities of the Spirit within the Etheric Plane and located over specific physical landmarks. Our soul may travel to these Retreats while the physical body is at rest or during the interim between incarnations that we call "death". Here our soul will be tutored and we may even receive instruction and inspiration for an invention or something that will better life in the physical plane. Some scientists have even recalled awakening with the solution to mathematical or other problems they and their group have been wrestling with.

The Astral Plane was intended to reflect the pure desires of God but instead has become a sewer of dark emotional disturbances such as anger, hatred, lies, murder, insanity, rage, etc. There are 33 levels of darkness in the Astral Plane which range in degree and vibration from Purgatory to the Pit of Hell. This is the place of nightmares. Nothing good can ever come out of the Astral Plane. There are no schools there and there is no continuity of experience. It is a constantly fluctuating, roiling, disturbing place where you may never see the same souls twice. There are no family units or any other form of social unit. No spiritual progress can be made while there.

Each of the four lower bodies, except the Etheric Fire Body, has a decay rate; they wear out and must be shed. The shedding of these bodies is what we superstitiously call "death". The soul "migrates" to that plane and dimension equivalent to its spiritual development and attainment (or lack thereof). This is the meaning of Rev 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." The soul will remain detached from the physical body for a period of very short duration to many hundreds or thousands of years. The soul must re-incarnate in karmic circumstances and among souls who have similar karmic patterns which they must work out together. The timing of the return of the soul into incarnation is very precise and has lately been greatly disturbed and interfered with by the practice of abortion and infanticide. Regardless of the state of the "bodies", they are the bodies that the soul must incarnate in to balance their karma.
