Just some things to ponder and I am hopping you won't mind, but I was wondering about your beliefs.


1.   What happens to you when you die?


2.   Do you believe you will go into a light, or loved ones will be there to guide you?


3.   Do you believe that Jesus, or some other deity will come to help guide you along your path?


4. Do you believe in heaven and hell?


5. Do you believe in reincarnation?


6. Anything else you would like to share?


Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself.You may not be perfect, but you are all You've got to work with. The process of becoming who you will be begins first the total acceptance of who you are.

I believe the light shows the path Spirit should follow.


What do you believe happens when the person misses the initial light, or chooses not to follow the guide? Do you believe that the guides, or light will come if the person calls them, or how do you believe these individuals can be helped to move on.


Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself.You may not be perfect, but you are all You've got to work with.

1. What happens to you when you die?

***I believe my spirit returns to the spirit realm, back Home to the Goddess and God.

2. Do you believe you will go into a light, or loved ones will be there to guide you?

***Dunno. Don't really picture it much. I have an image of walking through a doorway. No one waiting for me, because I believe our personalities that we have in this physical realm, are temporary guises for a particular incarnation. So I'm not sure that I meet up with loved ones or others I've known in a current lifetime, when I leave it. I envision the Goddess giving me a huge hug of welcome. It will be a time of rest and reflection on the lessons learned in the past lifetime, and readying for the next incarnation, and with what other spirits I will work in the upcoming lifetime.

3. Do you believe that Jesus, or some other deity will come to help guide you along your path?

***I don't believe in Jesus as deity. Another spirit, albeit perhaps a more advance one, that incarnated to teach us about love, as other advanced spirits do from time to time. So, his Spirit would be there, but I don't believe his "personality" as Jesus would be part of him in the spirit realm. I believe in the Goddess and God, so I believe they will welcome me Home, and will help me through the doorway from this physical realm, when the time comes.

4. Do you believe in heaven and hell?

***No.

5. Do you believe in reincarnation?

***Yes.

6. Anything else you would like to share?

I believe I have died many times and lived many times. Each time learning something new and important to my evolution as a spiritual being, with the help of Karma.

Here is what I believe :

1. What happens to you when you die?

The soul leaves the body and reincarnate into something else, I believe our body is like a vehicle that helps us learn through life.

2. Do you believe you will go into a light, or loved ones will be there to guide you?

I have no idea how things will happen there

3. Do you believe that Jesus, or some other deity will come to help guide you along your path?

I think I'm guided on my path all along, in my past lives, in this life and I will continue to be guided in the next ones.

4. Do you believe in heaven and hell?

NO, the very thought of it traumatised me during my childhood so much I grew up into a teenager who on top of being lost and confused about her identity was also having a phobia of death...only by re-connecting with my personnal beliefs did I find inner piece and they were not including anything like heaven and hell :-)

5. Do you believe in reincarnation?

Strongly do :-) as mentionned above, I have several reasons to believe so

6. Anything else you would like to share?

Hmm not much appart that each of us need to find what is most confortable for them in order to go thropugh life...there are many paths to salvation :-)

At times, I have given a considerable thought as to what awaits after my time is over on this earth. Reincarnation? A new creation? Eternal joy? I think I prefer to be pleasently supprised by all the wonders that will be reveiled.

This is always interesting to me what others think.

I think Hell is here on earth-
I do believe that no one knows what happens after you die- wonder why? Is it that horrible or Is "IT" that wonderful??? I'm hoping for the later.

When I was younger I wasn't the least worried about death- now that I'm older I don't worry about it- just think about it more-
I hope EVERYONE finds Peace when they pass on...
