In Quest of Her

I was walking around being the sunshine of everyone’s day when I stopped to chat with my coworker and at some point the conversation shifted to the topic of death. She curiously asked what I thought happened after someone transitions. My automatic response was to say “I don’t know” but that’s because I haven’t died in a while and I can’t seem to remember what it’s like.

So I told her what I thought:

I said “I personally do not think death is “the end” in fact, I believe it to be the beginning. I imagine it to be similar to waking up from a dream except the life you’re living is the dream and dying would be you awakening from it.”

She responds, “Don’t you believe in Heaven and Hell?”

I never got the chance to answer her fully but it got my gears going.

I don’t believe in people going to either heaven or hell, well at least not how religion describes it. Traditionally, hell is where you go to be tormented and separated from god whereas Heaven is the place you get to go be with God for having good behavior so to speak. I beg to differ, you mean to tell me I have to wait to die to see heaven instead of just creating here?!?

I’ll take NO for 500 Alex .

My opinion is heaven and hell is already here and they are not destinations or a place you go they are experiences of how close or how far we are from our truest self.

HELL -is abandoning yourself, silencing your intuition, ignoring your body or being trapped in patterns you know are hurting you but can’t seem to escape. It’s not some lake of fire, it’s disconnection and forgetting you matter.

On the contrary, HEAVEN -is when you speak your truth and it sets something inside free. It’s when your choices reflect your worth and not your fear. It’s clarity, connection and remembering.

So in short, your body is just the vessel that houses the real you and when your vessel dies, the real you returns to the spiritual realm. That’s it.

BUT

Now that I’m writing this out, I never thought of this but what if when people say they are awakening , they mean they are “remembering” they are creating heaven for themselves ?🧐

I probably sound like a crazy person to some right now but since everyone else can believe in whatever they want, so can I!

When I answer these questions I can’t help to think about the children who leave this earth without ever having the opportunity to create it for themselves but I’d love to believe that when those children pass on they are met by something so loving and actually all knowing that it undoes the lie that they were ever unworthy. They may never get justice through courts or punishment but I hope through people like me we will choose to feel it and allow it to transform us. We become the healers, the protectors and truth tellers.
