A Fullness of Manifesting

Joseph Dewey

A Fullness of Manifesting

What is one of the primary goals of human existence through BECOMING?

Answer: It is to obtain power and removal of limitations in all worlds of endeavor where our desire takes us.

How many worlds or spheres are there?

In this period of evolution there are seven. Three worlds of form (physical, astral, and mental) and four which are called formless.

About 90% of humanity have their consciousness limited to the physical and astral, or emotional, and have a long way to go to function consciously on the higher five.

During life then the average person functions consciously in two worlds (physical and astral) at the same time. This means that after death his functioning power is reduced 50% for he only functions consciously in one world. Therefore, to the average man death is a great limitation for it deprives him of half of his conscious functioning.

Then a period after death he units again with his Higher Self and his lower personality which has not united with his soul sleeps.

The above average person functions consciously in three worlds, the physical, astral, and mental. He is able to function after death in two worlds and maintains a continuity of consciousness for a longer period of time until he approaches the time or rebirth.

Only when a person attains consciousness in the worlds og higher mind and above can he maintain “continuity of consciousness” and maintain conscious thought throughout life and afterlife and into the next life.

Now some say that it is desirable to drop all connection with the physical body which in turn drops any direct connection with the physical world.

For those who think this way shall we extend this idea and drop the astral body also thus ending emotional feeling?

Then extending this further should we drop the mental body also thus ending our power to think?

I think that when we consider this idea that it becomes obvious that we suffer from limitation at losing use of any of our bodies.

A fullness of power and fullness of joy only comes when we attain power to manifest and have consciousness on any or all of the seven planes at will.

The only way to attain this power is through the overcoming of physical death just as did Jesus through the resurrection of the body.

When death is overcome the entity obtains the power to manifest in any of the worlds of form.

Imagine that you reached the fullness of your evolution and were unable to manifest on the physical or astral plane? Wouldn’t you feel short-changed. Wouldn’t you feel that you were missing out on a fullness of power that you worked so many lifetimes to attain?

It is true that we do have cycles where we leave the lower bodies behind for various purposes. Buddha taught about this in the attainment of Nirvana, which is consciousness in the fifth sphere of the seven, and some distance from the highest in this cycle. But more important than this attainment is the mastery of all the worlds. Only when the lowest (the physical) is fully mastered can the highest spiritual world and consciousness be attained.

The point to remember is that when this high mastery is attained this does not mean we will always be in a physical body. What it does mean is that we will have power to manifest in the physical (or our other bodies) at will until such manifestation serves no purpose and we return to a great cycle of rest called Pralaya in the East.

Does it seem desirable to manifest in any plane of choice according to our will?

Jesus said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matt 28:18

Could a master have power on earth without a physical body giving him the power to manifest on earth?

The Second Death

I was asked the meaning behind the “second death” as mentioned in the scriptures.

A point to keep in mind is to remember that the Jews who wrote the scriptures believed there were three interpretations to each inspired work. They called these the body, soul and spirit of the scriptures. Then there were a few who saw up to seven interpretations.

Even so, there are several interpretations of the “second death” which correspond and are correct and then there are a number which are wrong.

The Mormons have an interesting interpretation that fits within the Law of Correspondences. They believe that “man was in the beginning with God” and that the first death was his separation from God by entering into mortality. They then believe that all will be redeemed from this first death, at least to a degree, except for the “sons of perdition” who have committed the unpardonable sin against the Holy Ghost. These will suffer a second and more disastrous separation from God which they believe to be the second death.

In harmony with the ancient wisdom the early Mormon leaders taught that those who took this extreme path of selfishness and denial would be ground up and “returned to their native element” and have to start their progression all over again which would involve a process of “myriads of years.”

Now there is a second interpretation which goes beyond normal religious thought.

The scripture reads:

“He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Rev 2:11

In this light the first death within a smaller cycle is the death of the physical body. But then after we spend a period of time in the astral world most will suffer a “second death,” which is the dissolution of the astral body.

Question: So how can one be “hurt” by this second death?

Answer: For some who are of low vibration this second death is met with great resistance for they know not what lies on the other side of it. It thus becomes a terrifying experience for some – like a lake of fire as they go through the process of disintegration.

For those who are the fairly decent people of earth this experience is met with a yielding to the will of God and the fire is embraced rather than resisted.

Those who attached to the lower self resist a reunion with their higher self and dying to the lower self. This resistance produces the pain of the second death.

He who “overcomes” will not suffer from either of these two “hurts” of the second death. When the pilgrim rises his consciousness above the astral to the mind and then above the mind to the spiritual planes he will either bypass the astral realm completely or have a very short stay and maintain consciousness as he passes beyond the astral and mental bodies. Because the adept can maintain consciousness in the higher spiritual worlds he is then not “hurt” by a second death because his consciousness does not die. In other words, his consciousness is never “separated” from his individuality as it is for a cycle in most humans after union with the Higher Self which is like an awakening from a dream.

The principle is this.

In the next world the residual personality can only rise in consciousness to the realm that one has attained to in this life. It therefore behooves us to place our attention and focus on the highest thoughts and vibrations of which we are capable.

If we continue to do this we will “overcome” and live beyond the hurt of the second death and keep our consciousness high enough so no time or consciousness will be lost between lives.

What Is There That Survives Death?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 32 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Thirty-Three

What Is There That Survives Death?

Jesus taught his disciples,

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2

The word “mansions” is translated from the Greek MONĒ and doesn’t mean “mansion” as is used today, but merely indicates a dwelling place. Jesus was telling his disciples that there are many different types of dwelling places after death and he would assist the disciples in preparing one for them.

Traditional religion teaches that there is merely one heaven and one hell, but such is not the case as witnessed by the words of Jesus that there are many dwelling places.

To understand life after death it is helpful to understand life before death in the here and now. We are much more than physical bodies that come to life as sophisticated machines just to be extinguished when the body wears out.

The physical body we can see and touch is merely an outer shell. Coexisting with this is a duplicate body made of more refined substance called the etheric body. It is a composed of a great electrical system that holds our body together and gives it life and shape. After it withdraws from the body its shape begins to disintegrate.

The existence of the etheric body is easy to prove because all people can see it with a little practice.  It extends a millimeter or two from the physical body and if you hold your two thumbs about a quarter inch apart against a light background and look at the empty space between them for a minute you’ll see your second body extending from your skin.

Another part of ourselves that we all know is real is our emotional selves.  There is a more refined state of matter that is created from emotional energy and within us, co-existing with our physical bodies, is a body made of emotional matter.  This is often called the astral body. This astral body can also be proven to exist because it radiates beautiful colors called the aura and with a little practice most people can be trained to see it. When a person gets his first real glimpse of the aura he is indeed convinced. Each person will radiate some dominant color depending on his mood, intellect and state of mind.

On top of this, we know the emotional world is as real as the physical because we feel emotions very strongly. Feeling an emotion, whether it be love or hate, is as real as anything we can verify with our eyes. What goes beyond orthodox thinking here is that dwelling places made of emotional matter coexist with this physical world as well as within our own bodies. Feelings these emotional energies is as real as feeling a physical object.

There is another part of ourselves that we all acknowledge to exist and that is our minds. Many make the mistake of thinking our minds are created by our brains but mind exists independent of the physical brain.  The brain is merely a very complex computer.  A computer merely operates on a program which are instructions created by a thinker or mind. A computer and the thinker using the computer are two different things.

The mind part of ourselves uses more than the brain. It uses other parts of ourselves to further the thinking process. The heart is the second organ used by the thinker as witnessed by Solomon, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

We all can feel the thinker within us using the brain, the heart and the body as a whole to further our desires, but what is not realized is that there is a higher state of matter created by mental energy.  Not only do we have coexisting within us physical, etheric, and emotional bodies, but we also have a mental body created of mental matter.

These higher states of matter account for some of the missing matter that science believes is out there but haven’t been able to find yet.  They call it dark matter, but it would be more appropriate to call it “light matter.”

The most obvious evidence of mental matter is the fact that we know for sure there is such a thing as invisible mind and thought.  By thought we can create images that we can see within our mind.  Unknown to orthodoxy is that those thoughts organize and move around real matter from the mental world.

Things from the mental world can be seen, but seeing them while in the physical body is very difficult and takes a lot of practice. Once the seeing is mastered a person can see mental matter around us which is controlled by thought.

As I said we are composed first of a physical body, then the etheric, then the emotional/astral which radiates colors. Another part of us extends about an arm’s length and is the shape of an egg enveloping the physical body. Mental energy circulates around the aura and our thoughts project on the outer film geometric forms, which represent what we are thinking. If a person could see those projected forms around another person and interpret the meaning then he could read his thoughts.

The physical/etheric, the emotional/astral and the mental compose three states of matter which create forms, but that which makes up our whole composition is much more than these. There are higher worlds of refined energy and life that are above these.  The essence, which is human, clothed itself in seven layers of energy in order to descend from God to come to this physical world. I have written much more about these seven planes in my various works but for simplicity’s sake we’ll just call the worlds above the mind, the spiritual world, a world of spiritual energy and thought.

Our more refined bodies that survive death are connected to the physical by a silver cord which is actually mentioned in the Bible.  It says

“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” Eccl12:6-7

The silver cord is connected to the body, usually somewhere up the spine and is severed at death when the “golden bowl,” or the etheric body, is dissipated. Then the more spiritual parts of ourselves go to one of the many mansions or dwelling places.  We’ll cover that next.

Is There Life After Death?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 31 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Part III

Questions From The Spiritual Seeker

Question Thirty-Two

Is There Life After Death?

The short answer is yes.  We could just leave it at that but this is an important question and deserves some comment.

If you don’t believe in life after death you are in the minority.  Polls show that somewhere between 70-80% of the U.S. population believe in some type of afterlife as well as the majorities in most nations of the earth.

What’s more, a belief in an afterlife has been growing in recent years.  Part of the reason for this is the popularization of near death experiences.  People have had near death experiences since history began but it has only been in recent decades that these experiences have been published for mass distribution.

Near death experiences used to be seen as a rare anomaly, but now they have received such publicity that people feel more comfortable talking about them.  They are not so afraid of being seen as being a crazy person as in the past. Researches figure that about a third of the people who have a significant close encounter with death have a near death experience.

Some researchers try and explain these experiences away saying that they come from a part of the brain which remains intact after the heart stops beating.

But this does not explain two things:

(1) Many describe the experience as being extremely vivid with a reality of greater intensity than life on earth. It is so vivid that many non-believers have been converted by the experience.

(2) Many have reported leaving their body and overhearing conversations and witnessing events that were verified as being true and accurate. Sometimes these events took place in the hospital and other times accurate information was retrieved from a significant distance in time or space.

The many witnesses of these experiences give powerful evidence to the fact that life not only continues when the heart stops, but one can leave his body and continue with conscious existence.

In addition to the near death experience there are numerous current studies of supernatural experiences of people who are approaching death.  Perhaps the most famous in recent times occurred with Steve Jobs.

One of Steve’s sisters, Mona Simpson, gave this account of the moment of his passing. She said, “Before embarking, he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them.”

After looking at something in the background he exclaimed, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” Then he passed and went to that amazing place he saw.

There are many other accounts of those on deathbeds seeing relatives standing beside them, often even talking to them. Still others have died for a few moments, came back and comforted loved ones with accounts of the beautiful world they are going to and then leaving again.

Perhaps the greatest evidence of life after death will come to the person who reflects on his own existence.  Try to visualize not existing. It is pretty difficult to do. We may think it would be something like sleep, but even in sleep we live through dreams and when we are not dreaming we still have an awareness of existing and a sense of the passing of time.

Now imagine this.  If you ceased to exist at death it would then be as if neither you, your loved ones, planet earth or the universe ever existed. Life would have no meaning because as soon as you ceased to exist everything in the universe would cease to exist also.  There would be no you to verify the existence of anything. It would be as if existence never was.

This is indeed a strange thought when you consider it and runs contrary to the essence of the life that dwells in us.

What is life, but intelligent energy?  Since energy cannot be destroyed then skeptics ought to bet on the idea that the energy which is you and me will continue. Ahh, even if we are in illusion, life is so much better when we see ourselves as continuing to exist after the body that houses us wears out. Fortunately, the reality of continuing life can be sensed by something within us that does not die.

Boise Gathering 2008, Part 11

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 11 of 15 in the series Boise Gathering 2008

The Astral World

JJ: Now the next world is composed of atoms but a different type of atom. The atoms there are even more ephemeral and have more empty space than the physical and can thus pass through the physical. There might be an astral being right here, as a matter of fact, Sean has been seeing guides around people tonight and I am sure if there was a guide right here my hand would pass right through him. Do you see guides around anyone now? What do you see Sean?

Sean: I can see some next to you just off your left shoulder.

JJ passes his hand and asks if his hand passed right through this guide.

Sean: He backed off but the others are still standing there next to him.

JJ: I am not going to feel them because they are made of more refined matter than the matter we have here on our physical plane and this matter is refined enough when you think about how much of it is empty space. This just boggles the mind. So they are made of more refined matter but wherever there is physical form, when the form touches form there is an actual sensation of touch.

Now it is interesting that whenever there is communication in the lower part of the astral world they will talk just like we do. As you move up in the astral world in the intermediate spheres then they can talk just like we do or they can send different types of messages in like packages.

Audience: Like computer downloads.

JJ: Yes, and then as you move up further they do not talk at all, they just send messages by mental telepathy and sometimes they will get a flash of color and then the message will just be understood by them after they see that light flash of color. And vision is not interfered with as it is here. Like say if Sean was four times farther away I would not be able to tell if it was Sean but in the astral world if he is apparently a thousand miles away you could still see him up close and you could think about him being here and he would be here. In the lower worlds communication and travel is similar to what you have here but the higher you get the faster everything gets. Eventually when you get into the higher parts of the astral world you can crisscross if you want to see a friend a thousand miles away you just think it and you will be there instantaneously.

Time is different there than it is here in the fact that there is really no time to reckon. So some people say that there is no time in the other worlds but there is time everywhere but time is just is not measured everywhere. In our world here we have to go to work and time ourselves by the rising and setting of the Sun but in a world where there is eternal light and no change that causes you to not measure time and you do not think about it. And that is why some people have said there is no time in the astral world. It is in a state of timelessness and it seems that way but when you are in the astral world, time still passes. It still takes time to learn things, absorb things, take things in, but because you have all the time in the world it seems like time does not exist. Now the interesting thing about time is that it always exists but there are many places that we can go to in the higher spheres where it does not seem to exist because we are not reckoning by it.

Now in the astral world you have teachers that go from a higher sphere to a lower and assist and help the people down there. A person can move from one sphere to another when he learns his lessons and the teachers will often come down and they will be bathed in light and they will come down to the lower worlds and they will teach the people there the lessons they need to learn to go to the next sphere up. When they are ready accept their lessons and once they learn them then they can go to the next sphere up and they can better prepare for the next life to come.

Another interesting thing about the astral world is people will say, “Well it will be interesting once I die because then I will find out all the mysteries.” We do not really find out all the mysteries after we die. We just find that we have more questions after death because normally you don’t meet God or Jesus who sits there and explains everything to you. Perhaps you read the book “Embraced by the Light” where she immediately met Jesus and He explained a whole bunch of stuff to her. So what goes on here?

The thing is, The Christ Himself is on the earth right now in a physical body and He is not even in the astral world, now he can visit there if He wants to because He has power to visit any of the worlds that He wants. He is actually in a physical body right now and He lives on the earth. He said, “ Behold I am with you even until the end of the age.” He told this to His disciples.

What He meant by this is that He would be upon the earth until the end of the age living here with us. According to DK The Christ lives on the borders of Tibet in a physical body, DK also lives in a physical body and they are neighbors to each other.

Audience: Do all the Masters have physical bodies?

JJ: Yes, all the Masters have physical or etheric bodies.

Audience: What about the Buddha does He have a physical body?

JJ: Yes but He was supposed to leave the earth.

Audience: But He chose not to.

JJ: Yes He chose not to, you read that, very good, and because He chose not He works in what is called a Nirmanakaya which is a different office than a Master. Nirmanakaya is a go between the fifth kingdom of the Masters and Shamballa so the Nirmanakaya is actually in the sixth kingdom so that is what the Buddha is right now a go between Shamballa and the Masters. I do not believe He is in a physical body but He could be if He has taken on another life since the Buddha but we do not have any information on that.

Audience: So usually the Masters just keep a physical body to hang around in?

JJ: They have not really transcended the physical body yet; they have learned to extend the life of the physical body. It is not until the seventh initiation that you can you can completely transcend the physical.

Audience: So they couldn’t continuously exist on the mental plane or something like that?

JJ: They could if They wanted but the Masters that work with humanity live in physical bodies but they are not quite immortal but they have the ability to revitalize their physical body for an extended period of time but they will not be in their bodies forever and then once they pass the seventh initiation they will be able to live in their body or out of their body, they will be able to live in their etheric body or manifest a physical body if they want.

The Christ underwent the beginning seventh initiation on the cross followed by the resurrection. Those of you who have read my writings will understand that the Christ and Jesus are two separate entities that at the baptism of Jesus, John saw the spirit of God come down and descend upon Jesus and it says that the Spirit of God went into Jesus. Now just before this John asked how he was supposed to recognize the Christ even though Jesus was his cousin. His answer was that he baptized all these people and saw the Spirit of God descend and then leave them but when you see the Spirit of God descend and enter in and stay there then you will recognize this to be the Christ. So who was the Christ? Was it the one who was baptized or was it the one who entered into the body of the one being baptized?

The one that entered into the body, that was the Christ and Jesus was the disciple that prepared the way for The Christ.

Audience: So Jesus lives in Tibet?

JJ: Not Jesus but the actual Christ lives in Tibet in a physical body. The Tibetan predicted that Jesus would make an attempt to take over the Catholic Church around 1980 or so. This came to pass when Pope John Paul I became head of the church. He was firing people and making changes like crazy and all of a sudden after 33 days; this is an interesting number because it corresponds to the 33 years of Jesus life, he was poisoned and killed. There is a book about this that gives a tremendous amount of evidence that he was poisoned.

Audience: Do we know where He is now?

JJ: He is buried, oh you mean Jesus!

Audience: Laughter!

JJ: I do not know if it was Jesus actually in the body or if Jesus was overshadowing the Pope. I felt really sad when he died and I did not know why because I was really not into the Catholic Church that much but on reflection it dawned on me that was probably the fulfillment of the prophecy. Then I read the book that gave all this evidence that he was poisoned and then when I saw all the changes he was starting to make, he was cleaning up all the corruption and firing everybody that was doing all the illegal stuff and taking advantage of people. The trouble was that he moved too fast and he should have moved slower but he moved too fast and he scared the dickens out of everybody. I am convinced he was poisoned because after all He was in good health.

Audience: Besides this timing for the individual unfoldment, to what is it going to take for The Christ to come forth and do what He has to do to move us forward?

JJ: The Tibetan says that several things have to happen before The Christ can manifest again. First of all a period of relative stability has to occur, and one of the places it needs to occur is the Middle East. This is why the war in Iraq is so important. If the war in Iraq can end with democracy and some stability that creates a little bit of a domino effect. Then it will make it possible for The Christ to come and walk in ancient lands where He was once before. This is one of the things that He wants to do is to be able to go there in that areas in the world where He wants to teach.

Audience: That is where President George W. Bush comes in.

JJ: Remember what Jesus says, “He who follows me will be hated by all the world.” And who is hated by all of the people of the world?

Audience: Bush,

JJ: Bush, the whole world hates him and what is Bush doing? He is trying to prepare a place of safety for the Messiah to walk upon the earth once more.

Audience: Bush does not realize what he is doing does he?

JJ: He does realize it because he got an answer. When I saw him on TV and he announced that he was sending troops into Iraq I received a revelation on that, I saw him and he was before the Lord kneeling in prayer and he did not know what to do. He did not know whether to send in troops or not and he got a powerful witness, a tremendous fire descended upon him and he received a witness that he was supposed to do it and this is why he has not backed down – this is why all of a sudden the whole world was against him and said hey you have got to withdraw and what did he do? He sent in a surge and everybody thought well this is a slap in the face when everybody else is telling us to withdraw and everybody was beside themselves when he created this surge. But the only reason he did this is because of the answer he received and he knows that he got an answer from God that he was supposed to take that course. The evidence of this is that the entire world hates him.

The entire world hates him. Ninety percent of the people in France want him out of office and ninety percent of the people in almost all Europe want him out of office except the old Soviet Union countries that remember what a tyranny was, they love him. The people in the country of Georgia had put up statues for Bush up and what did the Russia destroy first when they invaded?

The statues of Bush. They hit those statues with missiles. The airport in Georgia where there was a big statue up for Bush, they blasted that first. They hate Bush and it is a very delicate thing to talk about Bush because so many people hate him. If you are in a group even, Republicans will say, “Oh that son of a bitch, murdering bastard.” They have nothing good to say about the poor guy, but you have to admire him for getting an answer and standing up to it, even though the whole world hates him. If you want to be a disciple of Christ then this is what you will have to go through. Can you be hated by the whole world and still hold yourself together? That what will happen if we build a city on the ocean. Then the whole world will hate us. You think Bush is hated wait until we build a city on the ocean.

By the time the press is done with us we will look like a bunch of Jim Jones’s ready sink in the ocean. The environmentalists will say we are destroying the ocean and so on, everybody will think it is a bad idea and will hate us.

Boise Gathering 2008, Part 10

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 10 of 15 in the series Boise Gathering 2008

Finishing the Sounding of Names
JJ: Okay we have about half the group here yet and we may have to go a little faster to get through everybody. Let’s start with James.

(JJ & Audience chanting James like a pep rally.)

Now let’s say his name over and over again and see what we get.

JJ: What do you get?

Audience member: Salt of the earth.

JJ: He is the salt of the earth all right. He is also a salty character and he has a good sense of humor.

J is a heart sound which shows that he can overcome force’s that are against him through the use of the letter J and the Mmm is a kind of a closing sound which means he can wind up closing the deal so to speak. So I would say parting the Red Sea and then closing the Egyptians behind corresponds to this sound. So he is able to plunge forward no matter what. Now have you ever gone by the name Jim?

James: Yes and it just did not feel right.

JJ: Jim does not seem to suit you like James, James suits you better.

James: I remember when I was about 11 or 12 and I told my parents that I did not wish to be called Jim anymore.

Okay Susie you are next. (The group chants the name Susie.). That is Susie with an S not a Z.

S because she sees things, and U is a building energy because it builds the human body actually and she is a very physical person, she is very good in the physical world. I have never been able to beat her at horseshoes!

Audience: Laughter!

JJ: Any sport you play her she is really good at it. She is just good at anything she touches on the physical plane. So it is U that creates that physical energy and she is strong and this is also a heart sound indicating power to destroy opposition. So she is able to forge ahead and accomplish what she wants on the physical plane. Okay lets say her name and see if anybody gets any other impressions about her.

Audience: Chanting Susie in pep rally mode.

Audience: I got a feeling about the pioneer spirit. Not that your ancestors were pioneers but the spirit that you could pioneer something.

JJ: Okay it looks like we have to put Artie in the hot seat next.

Audience: Artie, Artie, Artie….Arrrrrr!

JJ: No wonder Suzie and Artie are such good friends, both of their names end with the same letter and it is interesting they both have the same astrological sign.

JJ & audience: Chanting Artie.

JJ: By the way my impressions will be completely biased!

Audience: Laughter

JJ: She is a nice gentle person but you do not want to cross her. Art was her dad so she is a work of art! She is a Capricorn so my pet name for her is my little Mountain Goat.

Audience: Laughing!

JJ: Because when she decides she wants something she just plunges into it like a little mountain goat going up a mountain and nothing stops her.

Now her dad wanted a boy and they were going to name him Art and then Artie came along and screwed up their plans so they decided to name her Artie. I always thought this is a cool name.

Artie: I was talking on the phone once with a credit card company and I was speaking with an Indian gal and she said that my name in Indian means to love with God. And I thought, All right!

JJ: Next we’ll do Larry
Larry…Larry…Larry!

Audience: Larry…Larry…Larry! Chuckling!

JJ: It’s funny when I felt impressed to go around and give something to each person and I started with my wife first and as you noticed a long pause (chuckling) and I didn’t say very much so when we were at dinner my wife says to me, what’s the matter did you have a hard time getting something? She said was there a problem here?

Audience: Laughing!

JJ: So I will explain to you what happened, the impression I got was to give a message to everybody and I thought and I felt that there were too many people here to give several messages and it would tax me too much so I would just figure out one message and give the same thing to everybody really quick so I had my hands on Artie trying to think of something really inspiring that would fit well with the whole group. Nothing seemed to be coming to me and then my soul corrected me and said “No you need to give a different message to everybody.” So I went around and gave a different message to everybody. So anyway that gets me out of trouble with her as long as she understands.

Life After Death
I thought I would say a few words about life after death, Larry Woods sent me a tape and on this tape he had talked about a book he had read, I found it interesting so I got the book and read it and it was pretty good, I have read several others that are similar. I thought I would talk about the different spheres that we go to after the physical and a bit about what is involved. First of all, how many different planes are there?

Audience: Seven

JJ: Right there are seven different planes, how many planes of form or physical planes?

Audience: Three

JJ: Right there are three planes of form. We have the physical/etheric, which really counts as one form because the physical and etheric are intertwined and after you die you are only in your etheric body for a short period of time. Some people bypass the etheric body entirely because the etheric body is like an electrical system that keeps your body in shape and after you die your etheric body immediately begins to dissipate. The ancient Egyptians had certain methods that they used to try and sustain the etheric body after death and they were able to do this to a degree and even after the person left his body they had different ways of capturing the energy of the etheric body so that it hung around the grave.

For instance the Ancient Egyptians capturing that etheric energy, that vital force that surrounds the body, caused the curse of King Tut. It kind of lingered around the tomb for all those years; thus the curse that they put on it lingered with it.

So you have the physical and etheric body as a unit and you can see the etheric by putting your two thumbs together then pull them apart just slightly and look at the space between your thumbs in a neutral back round like that a white board or something similar. Look at the empty space between your thumbs and you will see a film. That film is your etheric body and it stretches out about a millimeter or so beyond your physical body. The etheric body gives off light and I have done this before and for the new people we will do this again. Everybody look at my forehead and stare at the one spot in the middle like you are mesmerized on it for about one minute. Now when I move my body away I want you to continue to stare at this spot like I never even moved even though I am going to move. Continue staring at that spot, you can see the outline of my body there and if you look close you can see that the light is not just uniform but it has different graduations in it and different types of light. That is the light that radiates from the etheric body. So you cannot only see the etheric body but you can see the light that radiates from the etheric body with your standard physical eyes because the etheric body is very close to the physical. It is so close you can actually see it with the physical eyes without having extra sensory perception. Normally the etheric body begins to break up and fall apart right after you die unless extreme measures are taken to preserve some of its energy.

Then the next step up is the astral world. The astral is created out of emotional energy and it has seven different subdivisions in it. The lower divisions of the astral world are what we would call hell. The thing about the after life is that each person goes to where his vibration feels comfortable and this why it is important to obey the injunction of Jesus, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Because if you do that then you will go to a place where there are others who will treat you the way you treat them and if you treat others good then you will be treated good there and being around these type of people will make it a pleasant after life existence.

On the other hand if you are a very selfish person then your vibration will be lower and you will go to where other various selfish people reside and this will make it a hell. In the book that Larry recommended they talk about how the grass was different in each one of the spheres, in the lower spheres (which was the hell) the grass was parched and a little bit higher it felt really good with vibrant colors and in the higher spheres the grass felt really great and it was really bright and felt really alive. The grass seemed to get better the higher they went which I found interesting.

But in the next world the astral seems as physical as our physical body but when our physical body touches another physical body we feel like it is solid but in reality our physical body is not solid at all and it is amazing how much of our physical body is empty space. The empty space in the physical body corresponds to the empty space we see in space. The sun for instance is one million times as big as the earth and if we put the sun on a football field and the sun was the size of a basketball the earth would be the size of a little bb or grain of sand. It would be somewhere around the thirty-yard line. Pluto would be something like a couple miles away. So it is amazing how much of that is empty space.

Then if the sun were the size of a basketball the nearest star would be another basketball clear over in England. So all that distance is empty space, in our galaxy. Our Milky Way Galaxy is composed up to two hundred billion stars. Now in between the galaxies it is empty space again and the galaxy itself the nearest star to us is like a basketball over in England and that is how far apart the stars are in our galaxy, when you look up and see the stars at night in the Milky Way the stars are typically as far apart as a basketball here in the United States and a basketball in England. Can you imagine this, the only reason we can see a basketball sized object as far away as England is because it is so bright. When we look up at the stars at night we only see their light, we cannot really see their form. We just pretty much see their light but because a star is so far away that bright light that they emit makes it possible for us to see them.

So it boggles the mind when we consider the distance involved here. The distance in the atomic world is very similar. If the nucleus of the atom were as big as a basketball then the electron is like a little pebble miles away for so much of it is just empty space. Yet when two objects hit each other they appear to be solid even though they have so much empty space. It is really amazing when you think about it. The only reason objects feel solid is because particles are vibrating and spinning and the electrons are moving around close to the speed of light; which is 186,000 miles per second, extremely fast but because of their tremendous speed they feel solid.
