“The Eight Stages of Crossing the Veil of Death”

We all have people come into our life and then leave and we are filled with questions about what happens to them. Here are the eight stages of death, a detailed view of what happens when we leave this plane and move towards the light.

Peaceful Death - We all go through the ravages of death, be if peaceful or a painful death, it all happens according to a divine plan. Even Paramahansa Yogananda talked about his slight fear of passing to the other side of the veil. It’s normal to have some apprehension, even when we are totally grounded in faith. If it’s a painful death, all pain and suffering ends and a peaceful feeling takes over… and at that moment we might not even know we have died.

Looking Back at our Body - Then we have the experience of rising up and looking down on our lifeless body. We may see doctors, emergency personnel, and lots of different people running around like crazy trying to save our life. Yet as we look down we are still somewhat in a daze, and don’t really know what’s happening, and we are trying to communicate to everyone that we are up here, not down there. But soon it clicks, and we understand that the body on the table is not important and we move on.

The Tunnel of Light - At that point an angel takes our hand and we start moving through a dark tunnel with a super bright light at the end. But others start moving through the tunnel alone. While this happens there is a feeling of anticipation… of something wonderful about to happen.

Beings of Light and Angels - Once we enter the field of light we are greeted by a spiritual beings such as Jesus, Krishna and many others or greeted by multiple angels or light beings. Then we are enveloped in a feeling of blissful and unconditional love… a feeling that’s hard to describe. There is no looking back now, we are only interested in staying in this wonderful place.

Life Review - Then all of a sudden, a review of every single thing that happened during our life begins. It's not like a movie, it's actually experiencing every single thing again. But from the view point of what we caused others to feel while we were alive. We feel all the suffering, all the anguish, all the guilt and shame that we created, and we feel all the love, peace, contentment, and caring that we gave to others. Some look back and have regrets about particular objectives in life that never happened. Perhaps we wanted to be a teacher, or be a dancer, or a great painter… and we wish that would have happened.

A Simple Question - Then we are asked one simple question — “Did you learn what you came to learn?” and we answer very truthfully. There's no way to make anything up, or trying to look good, or anything else… only truth will answer this question. Then we join the light of God for a short time, or go back to be reborn with some other parents. This process may vary slightly depending on the culture, and the spiritual understanding of the person.

In the Light - Those who have accomplished their purpose have a respite for a while in the light of God. Basking in the bliss, understanding their connection to the One and Only. There is no time, there is no space, there is only pure love and consciousness. And if for some reason we think of someone or something, we are instantaneously connected to that person, place, or thing.

The Great Return - But very evolved souls sooner or later hear the suffering on on earth. And because of their great love for humanity they allow themselves to leave the light of God and go back and be reborn. To feel, to learn, and to help others make their way to God once again. Even though they will suffer all the pains of being mortal while on the earthly plane… they march forward to Love!

A few have negative experiences, but if they call out for God they are pulled into the light.

So if you have family members who are about to pass, remember the light of love is waiting for them.

Many Blessings to Everyone!
