The Afterlife: A Story Shared

 

"Your decisions day by day can and will impact not only where you go when you leave your body during sleep at night but where you will find yourself in the afterlife.  I encourage you to be aware of what you are doing during your journey through life and of the nature of cause and effect."

~Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Afterlife: What Really Happens in the Hereafter.

      A Story That Was Shared

     "I was minding my own business, saying prayers for those who have passed on in the Ukraine and around the world, when I felt the presence of an acquaintance from long ago, who seemed to be intent on impressing upon me a message that needed to be shared with certain people they had known while alive. I have never been interested in such communications nor sought them out and ignored them for a while, praying that the soul would disappear.

      But, they were persistent, so I took mental note of the impression, implied that I'd consider it and prayed again for them to move on. I was left with one thought:  Regret.  And, one image:  the Blessed Mother.  The next morning, I began reading Mary's Message of Divine Love, and realized that I had come upon the very message that they had been trying so hard to impress upon me.  It was a bit uncanny.

       Even though I knew in my heart it was the correct information, I decided to put it off for yet another day.  Then, later, while in the middle of a rosary, I again felt the presence of the soul who had passed and saw them sit down as if in a sturdy, old-fashioned, wooden teacher's chair, and wait.  It was not as if they were stuck in the astral plane, like some poor souls you read about, but that they were simply not going to budge.  I realized then, that for whatever reasons, they were deeply intent on a task being done and that, being out of embodiment, they were unable to accomplish it and depended upon someone in embodiment to do it for them, so that they could, by God's grace, move on at a later date."

 

So, what was the passage that was shared at the end of the story?  It was this:

 

     "When those who are supposedly engaged in the business of serving the spiritual needs of man (whether in the East or in the West) do not uphold the principles of truth and honor, when they manifest a spirit of criticism toward individuals or segments of society, and their own lives afford meager example of Christly virtue, those who look to them to set the example for the age are often keenly disappointed.

   Most spiritual seekers have at some time in their lives manifested great idealism.  This idealism causes them to yearn to bring into their lives elements of spirituality that will draw them very near to God and to their fellowmen.  When they see those who claim to espouse the divine cause, those who profess to be teachers of righteousness (ministers, priests, learned pundits or church officials) engaging in practices that are unkind, unholy, unethical or that compromise in any way the true teachings of the Christ, these idealists are sometimes driven, almost in a spirit of despair, to discontinue their own search for God or to reject the reality of God in themselves and in others.

   The damage that is done by these would-be leaders, who go forth in my Son's name but carry not his Spirit, is incalculable...."   (Mary's Message of Divine Love)
