COMMENTARY: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO CROSS OVER? Many subscribers ask "What am I likely to see?" "Where will I go?" "How am I going to feel?" "What can I do to prepare myself for the precious moments when I cross over into the spirit?" It is good that people ask these questions - the more they ask the more they get to know. It is most critical to adopt a positive and curious attitude: expect the best.
If you are conscious toward the end, you will be aware of friends and loved ones gathering around you. You will be met by the person you feel closest to - often a mother, a grandparent, or a partner. Neil Armstrong was met by his daughter who had died as a baby. Robin Williams says he was met by his friend Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana. George Wilmot, who had no close family relationships, was met by his horse, Jenny. Children often describe being met by a "beautiful lady". And sometimes dying people will have a glimpse of paradise and begin to hear beautiful music.
Many people who have been ill for a long time and are not conscious at the time of transition describe waking up in a beautiful hospital-like setting in one of the many "reception areas" specifically designed for new arrivals. They report seeing people moving around that they think are nurses and they are surprised at how well they feel.
When the spirit-etheric body slips out of the physical body (usually from the top of the head) all pain will be gone. Your body will feel light but solid. You will feel in perfect health, with all your memories and the same level of character you had just before your physical body died.
MEET THE COSMIC VOICES MEDIUMS The Cosmic Voices messages were given to the two group mediums, Jeanne Love and Regina Ochoa, through channeling and automatic writing. There are messages from actors like Robin Williams, musicians John Lennon, George Harrison, and Liberace, and researchers George Meek, and Edgar Mitchell among others. They talk about their transition, how they continue to interact with their family members, and their messages for the world.
Enjoy this fascinating "behind the scenes" sharing by mediums Jeanne Love and Regina Ochoa as they talk with Daniel Drasin, the webmaster and co-editor of the Cosmic Voices website.
YOU DO NOT DIE, YOU TRANSITION Edith Clarke (1883-1959) was the first woman to be professionally employed as an electrical engineer, and the first female professor of electrical engineering, in the United States. She participated in the engineering of the Hoover Dam.
Her message through Regina Ochoa:
"I have come to share this with you. We are here. Alive. And we bring you that gift -- to know that you do not die. Your passing is a transition. You are energy passing through an electrical field (like a transmission cable) going from one point to another and reproduced in another form. The energy is Spirit manifesting itself in the form of human shape then transitioning into another form once it arrives at its next destination. You do not die. You transition."
THE ART OF DYING WELL - DR. PETER FENWICK
Dr. Peter Fenwick is a neuropsychiatrist and neurophysiologist who is known for his studies of end-of-life phenomena, including near-death experiences and deathbed visions of the dying person, as well as the experiences of hospice and palliative care workers and relatives of dying people.
"IN TIMES OF WAR: MESSAGES OF WISDOM FROM SOLDIERS IN THE AFTERLIFE" Spiritualism came to prominence in the West during the American Civil War and the two World Wars - times of mass passing. Jon Beecher's book is an anthology of 10 stories primarily from the World War I and WWII era involving messages that came through credible mediums from the “dead”. Afterlife researcher, Michael Tymn, summarises it as follows:
"The prevailing message of the stories has to do with the immediate post-death state, which frequently involves confusion, even unawareness that the person has in fact transitioned from the material world. To put it more bluntly, many people don’t immediately know that they have died. It’s as if they are in a dream they can’t escape from. Indications are, not only from this book but from many others like it, that having foreknowledge of what happens immediately after death can help a person to avoid such confusion and more alertly awaken to the reality of the afterlife environment. To that end, this book offers much". Read more.
BARRY EATON REMEMBERS HIS PAST DEATH
In his interview with AJ Parr, our good friend Barry Eaton, host of Radio Out There, describes what he learned about his transition into the afterlife in a previous life as a World War I soldier, an account which matches perfectly others in the literature. Check out Barry's wonderful Afterlife books.
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCER TALKS ABOUT ASSISTING PEOPLE WHO TRANSITION Mike Marable is a California-based writer and out-of-body explorer who has been traveling in other realities and timelines since 1987. Along the way, he has been helping souls who have not completed crossing over to move to a "reception centre". His new book "How to Have a Good Life After You're Dead" talks about his experiences and gives suggestions that can make a transition easier. Listen as he talks with Simon Brown.

SOME REFLECTIONS ABOUT A COMA
Usually, those who witness a loved one in a state of coma find the reason
for this prolonged unconsciousness beyond their understanding.
Sometimes the patient is just clinging with extraordinary tenacity to life on
earth, but there can be other reasons, as the Universal Spiritual Brother
& Sisterhood (USB) explains. By remaining for a time in a coma, that
person may be paying off a karmic debt. They may also be acquiring
experience they need, the experience of being cared for, or offering others
the experience of caring for another.
The USB stresses that even in those cases of
coma where the brain is damaged beyond
repair, their mind has not disappeared: “We
can liken one’s mind to a musician, and one’s
brain to an instrument the musician plays. If a
vital part of that instrument is impaired, the
musician can no longer use it satisfactorily, if at
all; but the individual still exists, still retaining the same skills, though for a
time unable to employ them exactly as preferred” (Spiritual Light,
published by USB Vision Press).
COMPASSION IN ACTION It's well-known that caring for a child (or an adult) with a disability
can put great stress on family members. And sometimes family members rise magnificently to the challenge, developing wonderful spiritual qualities. Mireya's family want others to know that their life may be different, but it is still beautiful. The comments on the video reflect much respect for the patience, empathy, and love shown by this family.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
by Clare Harner.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
FEEDBACK: (3 only)
1) "Thank you so very much for this week's sharing.
I woke up to all the cosmic voices and they each gave me such joy and hope for the new day ahead. If only we all could deeply know that life continues on as our own ‘energy force’ - we could all dance and shine and laugh and rejoice.
It is so wonderful to be incarnating in these times with those who share the same love and light energies as well as curiosity and passion for what is genuine truth and reality.
Have a most beautiful day/night ahead". Vis
2) "Forever the Afterlife Report. Thank you for the disclosure about the Afterlife. Peace and Love". Alvin
3)
"Thank you for posting the amazing work of the Cosmic Voices Network. I could physically feel Robin Williams’ message as I read it to my husband.
Their work and the work of other great Mediums may be the best route toward moving humanity forward spiritually".

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC: "I HAVE A DREAM"
Benny Andersson, one of the members of ABBA, has spoken about the origins of the song in interviews. He explained that he was watching a documentary about Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement when the idea for the song came to him. He immediately began working on the melody, and the rest of the band joined in to create the finished product.
Whilst we encourage and we publish many papers and reports by afterlife researchers, we are not in a position to guarantee the accuracy of all claims. We accept the imputed claim that the afterlife and paranormal research done by the researchers is done in good faith.
