“I have opened a door for you that no one can close”

Observing nature and the seasons reveals that everything is cyclical; death is better thought of as a transformation from one state to another rather than the end of existence. Are we born as a blank slate or do we come with innate qualities in our soul from another time? Approximately one third of humanity believes in reincarnation, while a majority believe that consciousness continues beyond death.

The gateway we pass through in death is the same threshold we cross for every dream. Knowing this reveals why developing awareness within the Astral is of profound significance.

By examining our dreams, insights can emerge as to how we will encounter the afterlife. While dreaming, we experience the world through a body that appears very similar to our physical one. This is our Astral body and is what we will be traveling in when we die.

Typically we don't realize in a dream that we are dreaming, could this same pattern persist when we cross the final frontier? Becoming more conscious in the Astral causes us to become more conscious in our physical lives and vice versa. They are two sides of the same coin.

It's common for souls that have departed to believe that they are still in a physical body. In essence they are ‘captivated’ in the memories from their physical incarnation.

Dreams can help us to transcend our fears especially the fear of death. We can evoke certain experiences to practice and examine our reactions and then train new patterns. The deeper we explore this side of our existence the clearer we see: "That which we call Death is but the other side of Life"
