I was getting used to the conditions in my new surroundings, so when I felt the need for a bit of a rest I simply “thought” myself back into the “room without a door,” and it was in that room that I was now waking up. I’d settled into a routine and on waking, I would immediately just think myself outside, without bothering to get up first. Sure enough, every time I emerged my friend was there to greet me with that same wonderful smile. This occasion was no exception, however, this time there appeared to be a glow about him. “Hey! Don’t glow too much,” I said, “you might explode!” “Ha! The comedian has returned,” my smiling friend replied.

“What’s with all the glowing?” I said. “It’s because I’m happy,” came the reply. “Or, should I say, I’m “happier” because I’m always happy. I’m happier at this moment because you have made such good progress, and we are One you and I, so it fills me with the deepest joy. It’s also time to push on, and I’m going to start by answering all those burning questions you have; and before you ask any questions, I already know what they are because I heard your thoughts.”

“You don’t miss a trick, do you?”

“Correct, I don’t”

“I’m going to deal with what you feel are the most pressing issues first and then you can ask whatever else you wish. I know that you have been wondering where the god of religion is hanging out? Well, breathe easy my brother, the god of religion doesn’t exist, so you are not getting cast into the fires of hell any time soon. Of course, there is the “Source of All,” which for ease of reference does at times get referred to as “God.” But it would be fruitless trying to explain something that is unfathomable, so it’s best that your knowledge of the source unravels for you gradually at your own pace and in your own time. However, in due course you will have experience of this subject first hand.”

“Understand also, that you can apply different context to some of your questions, so there can be more than one answer, all of which would be correct. You want to know how long you have been here? Well, this is one such question. I have already told you that time doesn’t exist here; this is a timeless realm. However, to answer in the context in which you are asking, approximately 20 earth years.

“WHAT!!!!!!”

“OK, don’t panic, let me explain something to you. On earth you live within the illusion of the space/time continuum. So, if for example, you wanted to travel from your home that you’ve just left in your previous earth life, to Australia, but you decided that you wanted to make the journey by foot and public transport, it would take you a heaven of a long time. However, as you know, in this realm, our thoughts manifest instantaneously, so if you decided now, right now this instant, that you wanted to travel to Australia on earth, you would be there in the blink of an eye. Two journeys have taken place subject to the same laws of physics, one has had human logic applied to it and one hasn’t, but both are valid within their own context. So, the only correct answer to your question is that you have been here approximately 20 earth years, but you have also been here for no time at all. Which very conveniently brings me to your next question.”

“You want to know if you can go back and visit loved ones and friends? The simple answer is yes you can. Now, bearing in mind the answer to your previous question, not only can you go back to visit your loved ones, but you can go back to any earthly time that you wish, for example, you could go back to visit your mother from your previous life before she even gave birth to you. This is because you are not restricted by the illusion of time and space. Equally, none of us are merely “the body” so in effect what would be happening is that one soul would be visiting another within timelessness, or if you want, “the one single eternal moment of Now.” You would simply be choosing which experience you wanted to have during your visit. Having said this, you may decide that to visit particular souls who remain on earth in physical form, would not be in line with your soul purpose, or theirs, so you may choose not to do so. This may all seem a bit confusing, but it will become clearer later. Now, again very conveniently, this has led me straight into your next question.”
