Adventures in the Afterlife

by William Buhlman

Some humans continue to hold negative thoughts and emotions after their death; by doing so they create their own hells of the mind. In their shame and self-loathing, they experience the result of their own energy projections. Hell is not a place—it’s a state of consciousness.”

The most insidious hell is the one that you create.”

The key to your evolution is embracing the present moment, for this is the only opening where you possess enormous creative ability. The past is gone and the future is but a dream. The present moment is the only reality, the single point in the illusion of time where you can shape and mold your life.”

Today there is considerable attention given to forgiveness of others, but little is said about forgiveness of self.

One easy method of focusing our intention is to create a clear affirmation and repeat it several times a day, like a mantra. For example, repeating “higher self now” or “spiritual essence now” can be powerful. Silently repeat your affirmation as you are drifting to sleep or while meditating. Do this for several days and notice any vibrational changes or shifts of perception occurring in your state of consciousness. Often, your entire being may feel lighter and brighter. Repetition of your spiritual intention as you drift to sleep can also initiate lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences. Ideally, hold your intention as your last thought as you go to sleep.
