Living is one of the most complex and interesting phenomenons we experience as humans on this planet.

In my last post, I dove in to a multitude of topics, one being death. Ironically enough, a childhood friend of mine passed away the very same day that post went live.

This happens to me a lot actually.

No, not people dying on me, but having to live through concepts I’m learning. In the past, it hasn’t been too difficult for me to write about people dying. Up until the 28th, I had never experienced someone extremely close to me dying. To cope, I kept trying to tell myself that she was better off and her higher self knew she was no longer expanding in this experience. However, my human side couldn’t stop thinking about not being able to reach out to her ever again.

 

Megan was a girl I met when I was seven years old.

 

We were close until high school and while we had some not-so-good moments (as I’ve discussed vaguely in the past) she was still my first best friend. We had talked a few times over the past year after years of silence and we had both come to peace with the bad parts of our friendship. Apologies poured out, which in the end, left us reminiscing on the good times.

When I heard she passed, I initially felt shock. She had struggled with addiction for years but it was something I thought she would overcome. Unfortunately that was not the case.

I took a hiatus last week due to this experience. I needed to process it all before I came back to the page.

It’s been a whirlwind trying to take this experience and look at it from a spiritual perspective.

 

I don’t believe in a heaven or hell nor do I believe that we die and that’s it. I’m a strong believer in that we all are extensions of the same higher consciousness.

 

We’re all separate souls with different desires hence why we all appear different but we are all just extensions of each other. We meet people who mirror aspects inside of us that we are either consciously or unconsciously aware of. In the end, when we die, all that is really gone is the physical body we were encompassing.

Megan’s soul is still alive. I don’t know if it has extended itself in to the physical again already or it is still with source consciousness, but nevertheless, we do not die with our bodies.

It felt strange attending her funeral knowing this.

I felt as if I was grieving more of the memories I shared with her than her alone; I knew she had already moved on from this life. She was back in her state of bliss while we were down here remembering her as she was.

 

I stated before that when we die, it is not a moment before our higher self and temporal self agree to do so. If they are not in agreement, death can not occur. They need to be a vibrational match to the idea of death.

 

It’s not that a person wants to die, but that they crave a new experience or feel that there is no more to learn in their current body extension. To us, when we see a twenty-one year old pass away of overdose, we see a girl with so much potential. Thing is, her life up until the moment she died was all the potential her soul needed. She gained the experience she came down here to receive. This is why not all of us live until we’re old and gray. Not all of us need to be in the physical that long to pick up what we need.

Some of us may enjoy it down here and have a zest for the physical experience we’re living out. Some may have a partner for 50+ years and don’t want to be a moment without them. So, when their partner passes, they pass away not too long after. Their purpose may have been to create a life with that specific soul and without them, their work here is done.

We take what we learn from each life we live and carry those lessons with us in to our new experience. I’ve touched on north nodes before, but by taking a look at your north node in astrology, you can pick up on who you may have been in a past life. It’s quite fascinating really.

 

After taking a few days to let this sink in, I know Megan is happy now.

 

Her battle with addiction and not beating it may have been the very experience her soul needed to further her expansion. We can never know exactly why some choose to enter in to traumatic experiences, but we can be on the outside of it and take in what it means to us.

Seeing scenarios play out before us either show us something we do or do not want to experience. Megan’s death may have been a catalyst for others she knew to be more proactive in their own recovery.

In my life, Megan’s passing led to me reaching out to people I hadn’t talked to in years. With one girl, we had been friends with Megan as children and our friendship gradually dissipated over the past decade. I never really felt closure or had the chance to apologize for how I may have behaved in the past, despite having good intentions. With another girl, we had a falling out near the end of high school because I felt such a strong desire for independence.

At the funeral, I was able to reconnect and laugh with both of these people.

 

It felt like lifting a lot of weight I didn’t know was still there.

Without Megan passing, I don’t know if this would have ever happened, at least this soon in all three of their lives. So if either of you two are reading this, thank you for being so lovely when I reached out because we all know I have never been too great at instigating.

Moving forward, I know this experience helped me tremendously.

I don’t know if anything I said could have helped Megan, but after reaching out to both old friends, I realize now how important it is to tie up loose ends. Never leave things unsaid because you never know when someone could be gone from your experience.

 

I also feel a layer of hope when it comes to death.

 

It has been built up to be a tragic, unimaginable thing for any of us to experience. While the grieving process can hurt, it brings comfort to know that dying was exactly what that soul wanted. It doesn’t mean we weren’t important or loved by that soul. Funny enough, someone who passed may actually reincarnate in to your experience as something else if they want to remain in your presence. This could in a pet or another human being.

This is why some children may come in to this life feeling deeply connected to a grandparent they never met or adopt some of the same mannerisms without ever seeing them firsthand. That specific soul still saw expansion in this particular family, but needed a new perspective.

 

Death is not the be-all, end-all of who we are. It is not a loss, but a transition in to the next phase of our expansion.

 

We cannot line up with death unless it is beneficial for us to not be ‘who’ we are anymore. I say ‘who’ because the person we call by our name is only a temporary extension of all that we are.

I live as Kim now, but who is to say what’s next?

Death has become something to fear for ourselves and in regards to our loved ones, but remember this – those who pass are perfectly okay with what happened to them. No exceptions. The person who was murdered can feel exactly the same after death as someone who died peacefully.

 

It is not in how or when we die, but what we gain.

 

Dying has never been the end, but a transformation from where we are now to what will facilitate our growth later on.

Fear around death has been ingrained in our minds since birth, but since this physical world is built on our thoughts, we have to know that not everything we’ve been led to believe is real. Death has been made out to be painful from generation to generation, so we were practically instilled to adopt this same belief. It’s only our resistance to death that makes the experience painful, not death itself.

 

There can never be a death of a soul because higher consciousness will never cease to be.

 

Death is our progression and the idea of eradication is nothing but a myth.

We can only move from one perspective to the next while still living on in the same or different dimensions.

Being a part of eternal consciousness gives rise to freedom. We are never stuck or we don’t only get one shot. We’re bound to an endless amount of opportunities to further our soul’s knowledge which inevitability furthers the knowledge of the universe.

In truth, we can never be lost in a world that is an extension of us.

It very well contradicts everything we came down here to be.
