It has been one of the most widely sought after questions since the dawn of time. What happens when we die? We are all going to experience it sooner or later. My hope is that it is more on the later side than sooner for all you who are reading this. I recently came across the following passage from a doctor who studies Near-Death Experiences (NDE).

We try our best to get the answers out of the spirits we encounter, but to date, not one took us up on our offer to grab a chair and tell us everything there is to know about the afterlife and what happens. The next best bet is to look at people who have experienced NDE. They walked that fine line and came back. Most came back with truly amazing and truly inspirational experiences. More importantly, most claims are similar in nature – throughout different cultures and religious beliefs and throughout time.

I came across the following information and I feel it best describes what people have experienced when they died – then came back to talk about it. These people were certified to be medically-dead for a period of time. These are not accounts from those who may have found some mind-altering substances. 

What amazed me about the following passage is how true this is in regards to our experiences in paranormal investigations in regards to the anchors that sometimes causes a spirit to be trapped in this realm. By reading this passage, it may give you an insight to the paranormal visitors you may have in your home and business and I hope this can help ease concerns you may have over the normal spirits we encounter.

“Beyond the Light” by PMH Atwater

Any pain to be suffered comes first. Instinctively you fight to live. That is automatic. It is inconceivable to the conscious mind that any other reality could possibly exist beside the earth-world of matter bounded by space and time. We are used to it. We have been trained since birth to live and thrive in it. We know ourselves to be ourselves by the external stimuli we receive. Life tells us who we are and we accept its telling. That, too, is automatic, and to be expected.

Your body goes limp. Your heart stops. No more air flows in or out. You lose sight, feeling, and movement – although the ability to hear goes last. Identity ceases. The “you” that you once were becomes only a memory.

There is no pain at the moment of death.  Only peaceful silence…calm…quiet. But you still exist.

It is easy not to breathe. In fact, easier, more comfortable, and infinitely more natural not to breathe than to breathe. The biggest surprise for most people in dying is to realize that dying does not end life.  Whether darkness or light comes next, or some kind of event, be it positive, negative, or somewhere in-between, expected or unexpected, the biggest surprise of all is to realize that you are still you! You can still think, you can still remember, you can still see, hear, move, reason, wonder, feel, question, and tell jokes – if you wish.

You are still alive, very much alive. Actually, you’re more alive after death than at any time since you were last born. Only the way of all this is different; different because you no longer wear a dense body to filter and amplify the various sensations you had once regarded as the only valid indicators of what constitutes life. You had always been taught one has to wear a body to live.

If you expect to die when you die, you will be disappointed.

The only thing dying does is help you release, slough off, and discard the “jacket” you once wore (more commonly referred to as a body).

When you die, you lose your body.That’s all there is to it.Nothing else is lost.

You are not your body. It is just something you wear for a while, because living in the earth-plane is infinitely more meaningful and more involved if you are encased in its trappings and subject to its rules.

There is a step-up of energy at the moment of death, an increase in speed as if you are suddenly vibrating faster than before. Using radio as an analogy, this speed-up is comparable to having lived all your life at a certain radio frequency when all of a sudden someone or something comes along and flips the dial. That flip switches you to another, higher wavelength. The original frequency where you once existed is still there. It did not change. Everything is still just the same as it was. Only you changed, only you sped up to allow entry into the next radio frequency on the dial.

As is true with all radio and radio stations, there can be bleed-overs or distortions of transmission signals due to interference patterns. These can allow or force frequencies to coexist or commingle for indefinite periods of time. Normally, most shifts up the dial are fast and efficient; but occasionally, one can run into interference, perhaps from a strong emotion, a sense of duty, or a need to fulfill a vow, or keep a promise. This interference could allow coexistence of frequencies for a few seconds, days, or even years (perhaps explaining hauntings); but, sooner or later, eventually, every given vibrational frequency will seek out or be nudged to where it belongs.

You fit your particular spot on the dial by your speed of vibration. You cannot coexist forever where you do not belong.

Who can say how many spots there are on the dial or how many frequencies there are to inhabit. No one knows. You shift frequencies in dying. You switch over to life on another wave-length. You are still a spot on the dial but you move up or down a notch or two.

You don’t die when you die. You shift your consciousness and speed of vibration. That’s all death is…a shift.   

Our eternal gratitude to Dr, Atwater for allowing the world to see and read these truly beautiful words and for allowing us to share her message.
