The words we use to describe our beliefs aren’t as important as the beliefs themselves.
We are not bodies with souls. We are souls with bodies.
But my teenage romance was also an important life lesson: loving someone and feeling that he or she is your soul mate does not necessarily mean you are meant to be together forever.
Everything that comes through from the Other Side, I would come to learn, is based in love.
We are tied to all those we’ve ever loved by cords of light. Those cords can never be broken.
Our capacity to love and forgive—to accept fallibilities in another and in ourselves—is our greatest strength.
I don’t metabolize medicine in the way most people do. I have an extremely low tolerance for any kind of drug.
The choices we make—particularly every act of kindness—are greatly consequential. Our actions matter.
Imagine if we could all see illness and adversity as opportunities to expand our love on a soul level.
We simply need to see and appreciate the cords of light and love that bind us, in good times and in bad, in this life and the next. We need to honor the light between us.
“I see the earth as a classroom,” I said. “We are all sent here to learn lessons and help each other. But the real world is the spirit world. And that world is a world of light and love.”
The most powerful way we can honor someone who has crossed is to spread light and love in their name. Doing that work not only keeps that person present in our lives but also allows our loved one on the Other Side to still be a positive influence on our world.
“I survived to help other burn survivors and their families. It is not my obligation. It is my privilege.”
Why are we here? To learn. To give and receive love. To be the agents of positive change in the world. What happens when we die? We shed our bodies but our consciousness endures. What is our true purpose on this earth? To grow in love—and to help others do the same.
Our existence is mapped out by a dazzling array of destination points that are in place before we are born. These are the points of fate—a continuum of all the crucial events, decisive moments, and significant people that constitute our time here.
In his experience, people could be mean, unfeeling, hurtful. He saw no point in forging connections that would likely result in pain.
Put simply, entanglement implies that “at very deep levels the separations we see between ordinary, isolated objects are, in a sense, illusions created by our limited perceptions,” Radin writes. “Physical reality is connected in ways we’re just beginning to understand.”
I told them how I manifest things—by writing a letter to the universe at the start of every year. In the letter, I thank the universe for helping me accomplish several specific goals, even though they hadn’t happened yet.
The Other Side operates only out of love.
