“Just look at that! Its not even a month since I left, and my wife's
boyfriend has already moved into my house.”
I was talking to my lifelong buddy who was with me when we crashed.
“Well, what do you expect? We're gone for ever, we're dead. She's no longer your wife and it's not your house anymore” he said.
“I want to pass a message to those below telling them that I can see everything they are doing," I said. "If only they knew that someone is watching, they wouldn’t dare do some of the things they get up to."
“Yes, if only we could warn them; we can see everything from up here, but there's nothing we can do. The other day, when I tried to warn my youngster not to go too close to the edge of the cliff, he went right over, and if it weren’t for a small tree branch that he grabbed as he fell, he would have been right here with us now," Jerry said.
"I suppose that we can take part by watching what goes on down below as a form of entertainment even though we cannot intervene," I said.
“Your idea of entertainment is bizzare. Just watching and not participating! There is a way of intervening though, a way of passing a message. You can appear in their dreams," said Jerry. "it’s when they sleep that they can also travel through space and time just as we do."
“Here, in our world, everything is provided.” I said. “No need for food or money, no conflicts or intrigue. No experience of anxiety, pain, misery as well as the pleasurable sensations, so as to know what is good and what is bad. Sometimes though, I wish that I could also take part in the excitement they experience down below, but without a body to get into, there’s no chance of joining them,” I said.
“You know, there is a way." Jerry said. "You can always volunteer for re-entry. Then you can again get a cleansed body and go through the whole process till you come back here again. It’s a sort of theatre really. You get a script at the start, but success or failure will depend on your effort to play the role successfully," said Jerry. So the role you play is decided for you but you can make a contribution.
“But if the script is written for you, you have little responsibility” I said.
“That’s just it. You are not responsible, you only try to play the role be it easy or difficult. If you make a mess of it and misinterpret your role no real harm done because in the process of dying, you'll be cleansed out of all your earthly deviations. Here, we on the other hand have no role to play, we are a wave that floats across all time and across all space. We can be everywhere at anytime. We have simply merged into the ultimate Goodness, cleared of all the evil accumulated in the previous body."
"Doesn't seem like much fun not having a role to play and drifting all over space and time without much purpose."
“Being part of the ultimate Goodness means that we cannot communicate directly with mortals because of the risk of contamination. They are not pure. Bodily sentiments, that are built on possession and power do not exist here,” he answered.
“All you have said so far, simply goes to show that any existence without sentiment and effort, is not worth having. I think I am going to volunteer for reincarnation, and go through it all again. Maybe I’ll see you in my dreams, and meanwhile, since you have no notion of time, I'll be back in a jiffy."
