So....
My take on what my brother and I saw is this....
To Lynne...yes, I believe it was a connection to another realm, dimension, or door to something, or rather somewhere we all end up going to after our experiences in this physical existence.
Oz...interesting question about a possible illness and subsequent healing. Can't rule that one out. Thanks for the new perspective I never thought about. Going to give it some thought.
jadamz...yes, I have tried to reconnect with 'them' occasionally over the years, but without luck in the same sense or experience. There have been a number of instances that reminded me of what we saw.
When I was 16/17 years old I spent a summer playing with the Ouija board with some friends and it really reinforced the experience I had with my brother. Crazy, insane stories...but super cool.
That, and two books I came across that also solidified my beliefs.
Well, let me clarify. I don't firmly believe in anything. I have my ideas. Won't know completely until I die.
The two books are, Messages From Michael, and, More Messages From Michael. Have you ever heard of them?
Let me know if you haven't and I can elaborate.
Here is my take on what my brother and I saw (with some additional experiences that influenced my inclination over the years)...
We live, we experience all of life, we die...and it's all okay. Dying sucks, but death doesn't.
The good, the bad, the exhilarating, the mundane, the indifferent, love, hate, joy, anger, success, failure, and on, and on.
We download our experiences when we die and then set out to live another life, over and over, until our entities or souls have learned enough.
Then, we progress to another realm; one outside and separate from our time here on Earth. And there, we will continue our journey.
Wow! I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds cooky. My apologies. I think I will leave it at that for now. I don't want to come off sounding like I have the answers.
Would love to hear more from you. I will look up your posts. Glad I found this site.
Take care.
