I want to write this down before I forget it.
I don’t think it is fully understood how much “The Light Beyond” was actually revealed from above. It’s obvious that I wrote it down and that it includes my knowledge and that I formulated it into actual human language. The content, however, was another matter entirely. Let me cite an example.
It was day before Christmas. I was just finished writing Anthea and the post mortem. Romana was already jokingly asking whether I’m going to write something about Jesus, and I actually thought Zee and Kay were going to end up being Jesus and Magdalena, but I had no tangible ideas and just shrugged. On Christmas, it just started writing itself, the concepts came into my mind just in time as I was writing, and I was completely surprised by the direction of it all. For instance, I had no idea that Mary, mother of Jesus, was going to end up being a major character, and the way she morphed into Lakshmi in the end, instead of dissolving into her, was a complete surprise. Also, the part about the Kaustubha jewel was revealed during the night after Christmas, and I wrote it down in the morning. It’s as if it doesn’t matter whether I’m going to put some sentence in Kay’s or Zina’s mouth, but the important stuff with theological ramifications was completely micro-managed from above.
Also, I thought I was going to be writing about Milarepa, but he apparently didn’t want to be written about. That door was closed and I didn’t want to pry it open. I also expected Vishnu and Lakshmi to have had actual physical incarnations, but apparently not. I also didn’t actually know Jesus before, but Biljana did; she had darshan of him once, and says that how I described him is just right; it’s the same person.
What I’m saying is, I actually had expectations about where this was going, and sometimes things just flowed differently, and sometimes I felt as if I was writing a dictation, where the next sentence appeared as I finished the previous one. This book is not some fantasy writing inspired by religious concepts. It’s the real thing. Parts of it were revealed before, parts of it are my own memories, parts are dictated from above, and the rest of it is me mixing it up together into something that flows like a book.
I don’t actually know the purpose of this book. There’s an air of seriousness and gravity about it, that’s for sure.
ps. And yeah, there was no way I could have intentionally timed the chapter about Jesus on Christmas. Absolutely no way.
I think I was most surprised in the book by revelation that becoming God and enlightened is not really an individual journey, as this is contrary not just in how lot of religious approaches have presented it, but also if I look at specific examples of saints, yogis or in general historical figures that seem to have achieved something in this direction. It was always presented as a path better taken alone, outside of marital life which was always presented too worldly and less important (of course, now that I'm writing this it seems funny given Your example 🙂).
And then story with Grace hit me as a specifically important one.
Are our true partners or soulmates predetermined, in a sense that people commonly connect at the time when both sides are ready to evolve into next step? Can you even have a deep romantic relationship with someone who is not your true partner, and what happens with those relationships then? What about cases where one partner is not ready for the next step, for example if Augustin's wife never reached that level of devotion or decided ''not to wait for him''? Or are their fates always intertwined in a sense that they also guides (subtly) their decisions?
I'm not sure I know the precise details here. However:
"Predetermined" is a big word. For some, they might not be determined at all, and their fate as such might be very uncertain as well. It's obvious that those seedling-souls don't have predetermined partners. However, as souls approach God, their destinies become more of God's concern, so to say.
I don't know why this is such a surprise, considering how Gods in the Hindu pantheon are always male-female couples. I think only Brahma is an exception, but Brahma also seems to be a completely fictional character, and the only equivalent I can find is Sanat Kumar himself; those two might be the same person. Also, the part about spirituality being an individual journey, I can find both positive and negative examples. The positive ones have a solitary evolution and then they find a counterpart. The negative ones are all kinds of dark mages that are as mean as vipers; they live in some cave, try to develop powers, care nothing about God and imagine themselves enlightened.
Those concepts are laughable. Of course souls have all sorts of relationships. They also call all sorts of things "deep". Truly deep relationships are defined by their capacity for worshipping God, not by their mutual relationship. An ordinary person's capacity for depth of any kind is negligible. Depth is a function of spiritual evolution.
If their fates are truly intertwined, and one messes up, neither of them reaches apotheosis. Fuckups are a real possibility. Yes, God gives hints, but if one doesn't listen and have faith, bad things can happen, and the example of Carol and Grace shows the worst case scenario.
BTW if anyone has any questions, now is the time to ask.
Do You think something is going to happen to prevent us from asking?
I can't tell, but this evening I had multiple occurences of the impulse to send a message to this effect: if you want to ask me something, now is the time.
That's interesting to say the least. Snježana and I went for a walk this evening, and I was just saying how estranged I feel in the city, like I've never lived here, and to extend that thought, I feel like I've never lived in this world as well. It doesn't feel like home, just some strange place I have nothing in common with , empty, and boring. Btw, last night we had a internet outage, not the land line or the 5g network worked for about 20 minutes or so.
I have one, you said that you expected that Vishnu and Lakshmi will have a physical incarnations but apparently they didn’t?! Am I missing something, haven’t they been incarnated as Krishna and Radha or that’s just a myth transcribed within Bhagavata Purana?
I think it's implied that "lila" is something that exists in the higher planes, and that Shuka and Vyasa basically wrote an earlier version of this book – essentially, they had visions of the Gods and then wrote material that creates a good enough impression of spiritual matters for people to get their heads around. That's why the Gods have multiple names, because they played different roles and each name hints at differences in context. For instance, Vishnu can be addressed as Rama, Krishna, Govinda, Narayan, Sri Bhagavan etc., and Shiva can be addressed as Rudra, Shankara, Mahadeva, Maheshvara (abbr. Mahesh), Nataraja, and so on. The idea is that all kinds of stuff about the Gods is true, in a way. Stories about them are true in a sense that they say something about them that is accurate enough to be able to guide meditation. It is also implied that lots of the stuff people invented is nonsense. It's all mixed together, like iron dust with sand, and you need to develop a spiritual magnet that will separate the good stuff from the nonsense.
This also explains why those scriptures reiterate atman and brahman endlessly, while missing other things altogether. The answer is, they had incomplete knowledge and spiritual realisation. The Hindus will react to this with shock and denial, but it is what it is. They got some things right, and they got other things completely wrong, or were completely ignorant.
I have a few questions connected with the ‘Judging process’ and I do apologize for the wordiness. How important is one spiritual state at the moment of death and the period preceding it when it comes to meeting with Judges? It seems that the last moments of one’s life are important, as the souls seem to remember them after ‘waking up’ it in the afterlife. If I read the text correctly, the latest ‘earthly’ memories seem to be the most dominant one, and for a while at least. Does this play a factor in how a soul reacts to the Judges? Does this suggest that one should pay extra attention to one’s behaviour/thoughts/states now that the world is heading towards its end? Of course one always should, but maybe at the moment there is ‘now or never’ sort of sign? I’m pretty sure you have already answered this question. Now that I think of it, you have been writing countless warnings since decades ago in regards of importance of genuine spiritual progress.
So, more specifically in regards to your The Light Beyond book, is there anything else we should be extra careful about when interacting with the Judges? I know you said honesty is paramount importance and it makes sense. In regards to the afterlife, is there some specific knowledge that could be useful to souls at this moment that would help them prepare for the afterlife, something perhaps related to the way a soul functions outside the material world that we might not be taking into account?
It seems that in meeting with the Judges, souls condemn themselves more than the Judges condemn them. You described Judges being straight on attacked by evil or demonic souls. I suppose that it has to do with the impurity or lack of development of the soul being judged, but is there something more to it? Does the latest incarnation carry the most weight and influence the soul the most and if so- does revaluating one’s life at this point make sense?
It makes sense that the unsophisticated or undeveloped souls cannot perceive developed souls, crystals, Jewels or Gods (judges being either highly evolved and trained souls, angels or Gods). I imagine it as something to the effect of some people being able to be moved by art and others not. If we do not acquire any significant spiritual capabilities by the moment of death, we are doomed anyway and won't be able to perceive anything. But if there is something to be worked with, what should we be extra careful about- apart from clinging to wrong intellectual concepts/ideologies and making excuses for ourselves?
Thank you.
It should not be overstated. I know that the Hindu scriptures put incredible accent on it, but honestly, it's like climbing Mt. Everest. Sure, the last step you make is important, but realistically speaking, it's only important because you made all the other steps before it. Cramming for the exam doesn't work here. The structure of your soul is what matters, and it's not something that's decided in your last moment; more likely, your last moment will reflect everything you did up until then.
Death is usually associated with the loss of mental faculties and degradation of the bodily functions. It's also associated with all kinds of trauma. If someone kept losing cognitive functions for years or months preceding death, why would that influence his afterlife? I mean, it does create some work for the Judges who have to rehabilitate such souls and gradually restore their mental faculties and memories, but other than that, no – the fact that you were degraded or agitated in the final parts of your life doesn't determine you. Also, the judges are exceedingly smart, because their job is to see through illusions, misapprehensions and deceptions, and see what is actually true.
One should always pay extra attention to one's behaviour, period. 🙂
I know that some people spend an inordinate amount of their life trying to mask their sins as virtue and thinking of ways to present their case before God, in ways that would condemn others and absolve themselves. That so incredibly won't work, and is probably the most idiotic and misguided thing evil people attempt. It's idiotic because the judges will have access to their memories where they rehearsed it all, deceived themselves and others, created intentional misapprehensions and re-wrote their personal history in their heads. The judges will obviously know it's all bullshit, and attempting it is an almost certain sign of mortal sin.
Also, arguing that a Judge misunderstood you is a terrible idea that usually precedes being thrown to hell.
It's complicated. Your last incarnation can be nothing but a sophisticated deception, as in the example of Carol Soare. He was basically the guy who invented half of science and technology of Antiquity, and Satan made him think he's a completely worthless person by making him an orphaned peasant. It was only after Grace restored his memories that he starts getting that he was actually important, and only after Shiva goes through his memories does he understand that his last incarnation was nothing but deception.
So, one's last incarnation might be the most important one, or it might be an attempt to solve something you caused in the previous, most important one. Then, if you manage to do so, that last incarnation becomes the most important one. Also, if you fail and destroy yourself, it also becomes the most important one. 🙂 It's complicated, related to one's personal structure and destiny, and it's not a matter of simple rules. It's a complex, "organic" thing.
Everything matters. That's the thought that needs to be kept in mind at all times. You matter, people around you matter, what you do matters, how you deal with things matters. The worst approach one could possible have is that nothing matters and whatever you do ends up amounting to nothing. In fact, if someone has this attitude, his soul is broken and he is in a state of mortal sin.
What are the odds of carrying over irredeemable sin from one of the previous incarnations? Because the way judgement of evil souls has been described in the book is that anyone evil enough gets immediately pulled out of the cycle of reincarnation and quarantined off to hell, but there were exceptions to that, like with Anthea. Basically, is the fact that we're incarnated now any guarantee that we don't have any terminal debts we can't remember waiting for us?
I don't know how to formulate it in terms of odds, but it's definitely possible. For instance, someone messed up really badly, and got one last chance to fix it. Depending on how they did, they either absolved themselves or confirmed their evil choice.
The evil ones aren't necessarily pulled out; I would expect that for quite a number, reincarnation was some kind of a last chance.
As you started to publish theese articles, I had felling that they are written by ''Danijel the White'', not ''Danijel the Grey''.
There's not much of a veil left there.
