A question posed by all mankind. Humanity's ultimate quest to understand Existence.
What is the elusive, unknown thing called "The Other Side"?
I had an excellent morning walk when the idea for this entry popped into my Mind Tool. Monday morning and I woke up so refreshed after a somewhat topsy-turvy sleep especially when I woke up from a nightmare and oh lord! This plant-based diet really does help me with recovery on all fronts - Body, Mind, & Spirit.
I shall first make it abundantly clear that I do not have all of the answers nor am I a spiritual teacher. I just have a developed skillset within the Sacred Intuitive Arts. I, like you, have a tiny human mind that cannot comprehend Divinity. I have an extremely limited Frame of Reference to draw upon to describe that which is...ineffable.
I am comfortable with being a Student, never an Expert, and that my journey in this Existence is to be Curious with my Healthy Logic Mind and Psychic Art Mind working in harmony.
What is "The Other Side"?

I can only draw upon what I receive during mediumistic readings. When I'm linked with Spirit...they feel Alive. They are a Presence. They are Interactive. They are all Unique in how they communicate with me and with what they share. It is the same sensation as if you were in a room, you close your eyes, and you can "feel" the presence of someone who entered the room without you gazing at them with your eyes.
An Energy.
What I learned is that Spirit is Existing. They are of Existence. They are in Energy Form. They are someway still Vibrant with their Essence.
You know...think of how complicated equations are for...quantum physics...aerospace engineering...calculus...organic chemistry...all these human disciplines/discoveries/fields that require a bright mind to comprehend and execute. Now! Multiply this by a number that exceeds our ability to count! There is just absolutely no way that we can grasp this different Form of Existence.
Some spirits have shared with me that they are Learning. They are in some form of Education. Whether this "classroom" is to learn about their misdeeds from the angle of "personal growth" because of their physical lives destruction and the ripple effects from substance abuse. Some are learning the skills they always wanted to while in-body.
Some spirits are traveling. I remember a Spirit saying he was traveling to Japan and his loved one let me know that he loved Japanese culture and wanted to visit Japan.
It is just so difficult to find the words.
Well, for one, there is no physical form. It is just Consciousness. Spirit can be in more than two places at once! They can be watching over a loved one who is in physicality while they are doing something else.
Awareness. Existence. Consciousness.
I personally do not believe that there is just one place we travel to when we leave physicality. I think there are countless areas of Existence we can go to. Dimensions upon Dimensions upon Angles upon Angles upon Realms upon Realms upon whatever your Imagination can grasp.
Now there's all sorts of religious doctrine. There are all sorts of even alternative metaphysical information making the "Light" be the Devil/Evil. There are all sorts of interpretation upon definition upon declaring that "I'm right, you're wrong". This is why I wrote the entry about Mediumship & Holy Wars. I am not trying to cause the next Holy War nor put myself in situations where others will attack me for challenging their ingrained beliefs.
A Realm of Imagination. A Realm of that which we just Exist.
What is "The Other Side"? I don't know for certain and anyone who declares their authority in knowing absolutely what "The Other Side" is should be avoided at all costs.
