As I began answering it, I realized there were certain key books that helped put some of the pieces together.<\/p>\n<p>What I can tell you is that your soul continues to have a journey on the other side that is more complex and mind-boggling\u00a0than you can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>The more I discover, the more I\u2019m left in pure awe.<\/p>\n<p>What I understand is there are 7 Mansion Worlds you will ascend through initially (\u201cin the house of my Father, there are many mansions..\u201d). However, it\u2019s not a straightforward path to your resurrection (normally after ~3 days) on the first Mansion World based on those who have crossed over..and then came back.<\/p>\n<p>There are common experiences on the other side. \u00a0Sometimes you will just see what\u2019s happening to your body as people try to save you or you\u2019ve lost physical consciousness, but if you travel further, you\u2019ll see a light, spirit guides (light beings), and passed loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>You may experience a life review where we get the opportunity to look back at your life through a lens of being in the shoes of those lives you touched for better and for worse.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially you become the judge of your own life experience but with a lot more awareness!<\/p>\n<p>If you come back, it simply wasn\u2019t your time to leave. \u00a0You have unfinished business. Your soul needs more experience on this earth plane for reasons we don\u2019t have all the answers for.<\/p>\n<h4>What We Do Know<\/h4>\n<p>There are thousands of documented\u00a0stories of\u00a0Near Death Experiences (NDEs). This term was coined by Dr. Raymond Moody, MD. \u00a0Moody was a pioneer and spoke to over 1000 people who\u2019ve had NDEs. His groundbreaking book Life After Life in 1975 woke people up to the idea that a part of us lives on after we die.<\/p>\n<p>There are also thousands of documented stories of past life memories.<\/p>\n<p>Together these can help put some of the pieces together of what happens after you die.<\/p>\n<h5>You don\u2019t really die. Your soul transitions or \u201cgraduates\u201d from this life.<\/h5>\n<p>Becoming a past life practitioner has given me the privilege to be with the emotions of clients having detailed visions of past life memories to explore and heal current struggles and pain.<\/p>\n<p>The insights and positive shifts that can occur in these sessions feel sacred, and life-transforming.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Soul Growth is Key<\/h4>\n<p>You are responsible for your <a href=\"https:\/\/carolynhidalgo.com\/how-getaways-can-nourish-your-soul\/\">soul\u2019s growth<\/a>. What you experience on the other side depends on how you grow here with the way you interact, and treat others. The bottom line: it all comes down to love.<\/p>\n<h5>Your life path here and on the other side is a reflection of the energy, frequency and vibration of the light and love you become.<\/h5>\n<p>The accumulation of experiences you have a hand in creating with the thoughts you choose to think and the actions you choose to take affect your soul growth \u2013 the light of who you are.<\/p>\n<p>I believe we need to care for our soul the same way you care for your child or any loved one.<\/p>\n<p>To nurture, listen, and connect with this part of you is essential to your eternal life. It needs as much attention as your body needs exercise and healthy food. Your soul health is the most part of your growth here and the hereafter.<\/p>\n<p>What you feed your mind with \u2013 what and who you choose to read, watch, and listen to, forms your consciousness, which becomes part of your developing soul.<\/p>\n<p>Together, your mind, and body need direction by a healthy soul to bring you experiences here to help create \u201cHeaven on Earth\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>10 Stories that Gave Me a Glimpse into What Happens on the Other Side<\/h3>\n<h5>1. Many Lives, Many Masters, 1988\u00a0\u2013 Dr. Brian Weiss (psychiatrist).<\/h5>\n<p>This life-changing account of one patient who had memories of 80 different past lives was the first book I read that gave me the reality of master spirit guides sharing divine messages. I was in my 20\u2019s living at home, and as I was coming to the end of this book, my bedside lamp started flickering in a very particular way.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since, I\u2019ve had increasing signs and synchronicities from spirit (seeing 11:11 or having the exact thing I need show up) as I tapped into my own spirituality; a common experience for many soul seekers.<\/p>\n<p>Our true spiritual nature follows a much bigger pattern of nature that comes from the Isle of Paradise:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cThere is too much black-or-white thinking. \u00a0All or none. \u00a0This is not the way of nature. \u00a0In nature there is balance. \u00a0Beasts destroy in small amounts. \u00a0Ecological systems are not eliminated en masse. \u00a0Plants are consumed and then grow. \u00a0The sources of sustenance are dipped into and then replenished. \u00a0The flower is enjoyed, the fruit eaten, the root preserved.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">~a master spirit, Many Lives, Many Masters<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>2. Embraced by the Light, 1992 \u2013 Betty Edie<\/h5>\n<p>This was one of the first NDEs I read that felt like I\u2019d slipped into another world, and had to come back when I turned the last page.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cAn important purpose for mortality is to help us learn to recognize and to choose the positive even though the negative more fully surrounds us. We make this choice consciously or unconsciously in every moment of the day, and these millions of tiny choices create the foundation of our identity. We are what we think. We are what we say, what we do, what we fill our lives with. Ultimately, every being creates himself by these countless, crucial choices.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>~Betty Edie<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What I know so clearly today is how powerfully your thoughts shape your reality.<\/p>\n<h5>3. Heaven is for Real, 2010 \u2013 Todd Burpo<\/h5>\n<p>Todd Burpo\u2019s 3-year-old son Colton had an NDE during an emergency appendectomy.<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N-ewaCVARtM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N-ewaCVARtM\">\u00a0movie<\/a>\u00a0gave me a chance to share the awareness of the soul with my children.<\/p>\n<p>The connection between spirituality and creativity is evident with the story of childhood artist prodigy, Akiane. She grew up in an atheist household and was home-schooled. She painted Jesus as a child from visions she had not knowing who he was, but described him as \u201cthe Prince of Peace.<\/p>\n<p>Colton saw her painting and recognized him as the one he saw in his NDE when he was only 4.<\/p>\n<p>Her story in this 5-minute video helped me connect the dots of spirituality and Christ Consciousness:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o6HLg2XUFOg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>4. To Heaven and Back: A Doctor\u2019s Extraordinary Account of Her Death, Heaven, Angels, and Life Again, 2011 \u2013 Dr. Mary Neal<\/h5>\n<p>Since Mary is an orthopedic surgeon, I couldn\u2019t resist giving this book to my dad (a retired orthopedic surgeon). What I\u2019ve learned over the years about the pure scientific-mind? \u00a0It sees in one direction: backwards towards physical evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Science may prove what\u2019s happened already, but cannot explain so much that\u2019s happening that has no physical basis.<\/p>\n<p>Spirituality sees forward. It requires faith, imagination, and a big step into the unknown towards evolution. \u00a0They go hand in hand, and we need both to understand our whole reality.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI feel as though I am trying to describe a three-dimensional experience while living in a two-dimension world. The appropriate words, descriptions, and concepts don\u2019t even exist in our current language.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>~Dr. Mary Neal<\/p>\n<p>Mary shared her NDE in this <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/63wY2fylJD0\">incredible talk<\/a> that included being told by her spirit guides that her eldest son would be passing sometime around age 18. \u00a0A premonition that was very difficult to live with when she returned to her body.<\/p>\n<p>Her purpose seemed to be tied into sharing her story because the moment she finally decided to write and finish the manuscript \u2013 she received the call that her son had been killed instantly being struck by a car. She knew it would happen, but the timing let her know that life is orchested in unknown ways for a higher good.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>5.\u00a0Proof of Heaven, 2012 & Map of Heaven, 2014 \u2013 Dr. Eben Alexander (neurosurgeon)<\/h5>\n<p>Eben did not follow any religion before his NDE when he slipped into a coma after being diagnosed with a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Scientific logical minds have a great way of describing their own evidence to the unexplainable especially when they were the biggest skeptics.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know the New Testament was mostly written by Paul, who was not a disciple of Jesus? He was the opposite \u2013 hunting down those who followed Jesus. \u00a0One day Paul saw a blinding light on a road to Damascus and heard a voice asking him \u201cwhy are you persecuting me?\u201d He was \u201cblinded by the light\u201d and healed by Jesus. This experience gave him such conviction that his writings became \u201cthe word of God\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>How accurate do you suppose someone who never sat at the feet of Jesus could share the life and teachings of his life? NY Times Bestseller \u201cMisquoting Jesus \u2013 the Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why\u201d by Bart D. Ehrman, a bible scholar provides evidence into the validity of the original biblical manuscripts.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019ve been given so much revelation on the true story and teachings of Jesus through both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urantia.org\/urantia-book\/read-urantia-book-online\">the Urantia Book<\/a>, 1955, and <a href=\"https:\/\/acim.org\/workbook-lessons-overview\/workbook-table-of-contents\/\">the Course in Miracles<\/a>, 1976.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cFaiths need to join with each other and with science to create a new vision: one that encompasses science and religion, and that will teach our children real ways to stay in touch with the spiritual world at all times. We need to become a culture that, like so many that existed in the past, shows all its members how to hold on to the golden thread, all through their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>~Dr. Eben Alexander.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>6. Dying to Be Me, 2012 \u2013 Anita Moorjani<\/h5>\n<p>I heard Anita speak at the first women\u2019s Celebrate Your Life conference in Phoenix, AZ a few years ago. She experienced an NDE after her body shut down from fighting cancer of the lymph nodes for 4 years. The doctors were sure of her imminent death when she fell into a coma.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side she could see all her loved ones and understood why her body had cancer. It was a result of all the ways she lived in fear. She heard from her guides that now that she could see who she really was as a soul, she could return fearlessly.<\/p>\n<p>She healed herself of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Her TedX talk is <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rhcJNJbRJ6U\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It reminded me of the experience neuroscientist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/jill_bolte_taylor_my_stroke_of_insight\">Jill Bolte Taylor<\/a>\u00a0 had during her stroke feeling that same unity consciousness when she left her body, only she was awake to experience it! They both came back energetically changed in mind, body and soul.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u2018I believe that the greatest truths of the universe don\u2019t lie outside, in the study of the stars and the planets. They lie deep within us, in the magnificence of our heart, mind and soul. Until we understand what is within, we can\u2019t understand what is without.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">~Anita Moorjani<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>7. Dying to Wake Up, 2017 \u2013 Dr. Rajiv Parti \u2013 (cardiac anesthesiologist)<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rajpartimd.com\">Dr. Rajiv<\/a>\u00a0had a difficult NDE that included an unpleasant hell-like experience on the other side. We create our own reality, and \u00a0in his own words \u201cI could be arrogant and very materialistic\u201d. \u00a0On\u00a0the other side, Rajiv met his father, his spirit guides, and felt unconditional love he\u2019d never felt.<\/p>\n<p>His life today feels very different with a new purpose of healing others spiritually of dis-ease after spending his whole career putting people to sleep. His spirit guides gave him this message:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cNow it is your time to heal the diseases of the soul; addiction, depression, chronic pain and cancer.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>8. The Boy Who Knew Too Much, 2017 \u2013 Cathy Byrd<\/h5>\n<p>Cathy\u2019s son Christian by age 2 insisted on wearing the baseball pants, jersey, and cleats every day. He had memories of being legendary baseball player\u00a0Lou Gerhig up until around age 6. Children who describe past life memories report them ending around age 6 or 7.<\/p>\n<p>At this age is the same time you receive your Divine fragment of the Creator because our mind has now developed the capacity to make its first moral choice, which going forward affects our character and how our soul develops in our lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy experienced a past life regression that held memories of Lou Gerig\u2019s mother. It\u2019s often the case that we have memories of relationships in the past life with people in this life that need to be healed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>\u201cI felt a palpable shift in my perspective. As I started to look at every human being as a soul with a body that could be taken off like an old shoe, I felt more compassion toward people in all walks of life. My heart began to open up like a flower in bloom, and as my armor was stripped away. I found myself being less judgmental of myself and others.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>~Cathy Bryd<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>9. Saved By the Light, 1994 \u00a0\u2013 Dannion Brinkley.<\/h5>\n<p>Dannion had not one but 2 NDEs. He was a marine in the Vietnam War and felt the emotions of sadness and shock of those he killed as part of his life review. He was unkind and selfish during much of his life so it seems you may come back because of experiences needed to grow your soul.<\/p>\n<p>He also came back with very strong psychic abilities. He could read people\u2019s thoughts so he could answer questions before they were asked. He could touch things and visions would appear in his mind from the history of that object. He could use these abilities to predict with near-perfect accuracy the outcome of sporting games, but recognized this wasn\u2019t the best use of these new skills!<\/p>\n<p>He began helping the dying transition peacefully as he could feel their emotions and see their confusion, anxiety, and fears from what was being shown to him in their personal lives.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The amount of love and good feelings you have at the end of your life is equal to the love and good feelings you put out during your life. It was just that simple.<\/span><\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>~Dannion Brinkley<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>10. Journey of Souls \u2013 Michael Newton, PhD, 1994<\/h5>\n<p>These case studies of Michael Newton\u2019s patients under hypnosis took them to a place he calls \u201clife between lives\u201d where they met their guides, experienced past lives, and found themselves in a place where they could choose a life to come back again.<\/p>\n<p>But how were they \u201cborn again\u2019? These cases (including Dr. Brian Weiss) are a specific sample of people who want to clear unresolved issues of some kind. So this place of \u201clife between lives\u201d doesn\u2019t\u00a0necessarily apply to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Some people who have crossed have gone straight to Mansion World #1 based on the level of soul growth they have reached here, which maintains that vibration on the other side. Also, there are spiritual changes to the circuits happening right now where children are not expected to be carrying \u2018old soul fragments\u2019 any longer.<\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019ve come to understand is that our soul can fragment (just as God fragmented \u2018Himself\u2019 into a divine piece living inside each of us). \u00a0Our soul may contain many fragments holding memories that can help heal others during our experiences here (equity fragments) or we can be guided (guidance fragments). I call it \u2018virtual reincarnation\u2019 when a fragment enters your soul.<\/p>\n<p>Our soul is a very complex part of our being connected to our life experiences in very profound ways most of us pay little attention to, but everything you say and do each day impacts your soul. There are lessons to learn, and ways we are all part of each other\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<h4>What will be the story of your soul?<\/h4>\n<p>When I was 6 years old, I rode my cousin\u2019s bike down a slope, and over a cliff. A tree saved my life. I broke my jaw, and was told many decades later that my angels helped to cushion my fall energetically. \u00a0I was in and out of consciousness on the drive the hospital, but I believe my soul\u2019s energy field shifted that day in a way that opened my spiritual door.<\/p>\n<p>We each have our own path to spirituality and how we know God.<\/p>\n<p>11:11 became a big sign and doorway to spirituality that had me focused on soul health, and understanding divine love through living judgment-free. It feels like a big part of my soul story \u2013 what about you? How will you connect to your soul to live fully here today and prepare for your next journey on the other side?<\/p>\n<p>Share your soul story and any soul questions to <a href=\"mailto:carolyn@carolynhidalgo.com\">carolyn@carolynhidalgo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s on the Other Side after You Die?
