296 DATE WITH THE GODSWhat went on today, the leaving of your body, was an
exact replica of the experience of death. You had no
physical body to feel the actual process of death. You had
no conception of time or space. Your spirit left the body
at an even frequency. If you'd died, you would have
passed to the spiritual plane without suffering. Six
months ago, had you been hit by a truck in New York
and been killed, your spirit would be wandering all over
the place, scattered. If by some chance you could have
collected one hundred percent of your ananas and
anionites, they would have rushed to a body that was
being eaten by worms. Your physical structure would be
alive again, but a monstrous thing. So you die again and
go through that all over again. It might have taken your
soul from 400 to 1,000 years to finally accept that it no
longer had a physical body. That's hell, if we want to
accept the idea of punishment for the spirit.
Christ says, 'Take care of your clothes, wash them and
be prepared.' This symbolizes the preparation of the soul
to pass to another plane of existence."
"Is that what it means in Revelation 16:15 when it
says, 'Behold I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth and keepeth his garments lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame'?"
"That is telling you that the only thing humanity
should really be concerned with is the cultivation of their
spirits, because that's the only way they're going to find
true eternal life."
"Rama, I'd like to continue my spiritual practices, even
if it means giving up my apartment in Beverly Hills and
all the nice things in life. But I have a feeling that as soon
as I get back to my old ways I11 forget about these
experiences and it'll be just one of those things we talk
about at parties or the local pub. Something to have a big
laugh about. I just don't think there's any room for
spiritualism in this world nowadays."
