carol: something else
I know this is difficult to understand...But, when we die, we get this 3D video of our lives. We get to share it with other souls while we are in heaven, even with souls about to make their journey to earth. Some might say that is re-incarnation...I know I have memories of an eagle, a butterfly, and a German Pilot in World War II. That doesn't necessarily mean I lived those lives...but it works out the same...It is just sematics to say something else...but those spirits or souls shared their lives with me. Beyond that, I know already that I have died once and returned from heaven... I was dead...left my body and returned to earth...that was in my NDE. It is not much of a streach to imagine that it could happen many times. If it happens though...it is for a purpose. We know each other in heaven before we are born. We make contracts with other souls to help each other learn our learnings. We carry each other into the next life. Beings are not born in heaven. They have always existed... learning all kinds of things...sharing each other's joys. I believe at a minimum, that your son has shared his learnings and life with other spiritual beings in heaven, and with souls about to make their voyage to earth.
I don't know if what I said helps? I just don't want to say things I can't verify with these spirit beings looking over my shoulder and this internal truth meter I have.
But I can tell you that I feel very in tune to what your son was trying to say about this life and I also know that your son's love survived death. And that is something I can say with a clear conscious. "God doesn't throw away good stuff." Yah told me that years ago. : )
