You Can Live a Better Different Life If You Only Knew
myInterview on the Other Side
by MIKOspace
I arrived sometime in the future past. It was uneventful and almost instantaneous. One moment I was conscious, surrounded by many loved ones, and the next, I woke up as if from a long dreamy sleep. It was yesterday once more, I think. Conscious again, I feel much lightness in my being, which is glowing like energy in an electric bulb and the surrounding looks very familiar. Yes, I have been here before, I am very sure.
The experience of death is personal, and is different for different people. I am probably more fortunate than many, having lived a blessed and enriching life beyond my life expectancy. I could remember the sickness and various diseases visiting my aging carbon-based body since birth – from obesity, metabolic syndrome to heart disease, weak knee-joints, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, rheumatism, failing eye-sight to the onset of pre-diabetes, early dementia, Parkinson-like tremors and painful mobility.
All of that has passed. It was another life. Life continues for me at the “other side” of timeless eternity towards the end of all the times. Now with no more pain, no coughing and no medicines, mental alertness and strength with mobility have returned to my limbs. My being is now a conscious, cosmic metaphysical energy where the time-space divide is immaterial.
This is an abridged Interview based on selected Conversations with Omega on the “other” side.
I heard a gentle voice calling: “Is that Michael? This is Omega. You can call me Om”
Me: “I am Michael. Are you Peter the Gate-keeper?”
Om: “We have no gates here. And I am not Peter. Peter, formerly the Welcomer, has long retired, and goes fishing every day. He does not always receive new-comers these days. There are also many other Peters. Everyone will meet, orientate and familiarise new-comers, even you will later but soon.”
Me: “Does Heaven look like this? It’s beautiful and looks very familiar.”
Om: “You have always been living in the heavens, Michael. Heaven and Hell are just convenient earthly human constructs of psycho-social and physical conditions of the “other side” of earthly life. Many places on Earth, especially in war torn and poverty stricken areas appeared hellish to the people there. You can still “see” the earthly side where you used to be. It is timeless here. We are separated by inter-dimensional space on the same expanding cosmic plane. You can just imagine your surroundings and the people whom you like to be with, and they will happen for you.
Me: “Let me try.”
I closed my eyes to focus, opened them again and wow! Indeed, I seemed to be back at home during happier times with the people who loved me and whom I loved. I fast-forward the scenario and saw how sad they were when I died and during the wake. I shouted out to them: “It’s OK, I am fine!” but they could not hear me.
Om: “Actually, they can sense you physically and hear you in their hearts, Michael. They do know that you are OK and in the heavens embedded in their mental construct. You can and will hear them speaking to you when they prayed or talked to you. Over time, most will get on with their lives and just treasure you in their innermost memories.”
Me: “Are you saying everyone is living in the heavens either on this or the “other side”? You mean there is no Hell reserved for those truly bad and evil people who did really evil and harmful stuff while physically on earth?
Om: “Humans are all guilty of the good you failed to do, Michael. Not generous enough; not compassionate enough; not sharing enough; not considerate enough; not patient enough; not teaching enough; not loving enough; too racial and racist; too discriminative socially; too judging; selfish; wasteful; lazy; promote half-truths and true lies, cheats, take advantage of others, profiteer; live on credit, too little savings; not enough giving; … and then some. So tell me, who is really good enough for Heaven?
Me: “I understand better now, enlightened by your fresh perspectives on what constitutes true goodness. I am glad for the understanding since I also do not consider myself good enough for Heaven according to your criteria, Om. Without the threat of Hell, what then are the incentives for people to be good, have good conduct, do the right thing, and behave ethically with great integrity?”
Om: “None. Humans do not be good because of Heaven, and Hell is nothing to many who choose to do the bad and evil stuff. Human behaviours are transactional, motivated basically by self-interest and benefits, as well as the avoidance of pain and discomfort. Human laws, although not often conceived with ethical or moral considerations, are usually sufficient to preserve a minimally fair social order.”
Me: “Yes, and guided by personal values and beliefs or religions towards a deep sense of meaning from some specific life objectives and purpose.”
Om: “The human quest for meaningful purpose beyond mere existence defines humanity, and set humans apart from other living things such as animals, fish, plants and trees. The imperfections of the human intellect however produce confusing and conflicting lies, half-truths and true-lies to distract and conflate the many simple Truths.”
Me: “Agreed. My personal search for meaningful purpose began as a teenager who is uncertain about things, who sees paradox, ambiguity, chaos, absence and silence as central to the human condition. Over many decades, my journey for the Truths navigates through man-made beliefs and religions, human philosophies, supernatural experiences, fake ideas, charismatic influencers, teachers and thousands of books. Painstakingly and systematically by peeling off bit by bit the multiple minute layers of lies, half-truths and true-lies, I finally arrived at the centre core of the Truth universe to discover and confront the dark empty nothingness of life. And as I ventured into the darkness of the human mind and lighted it with actual Truths, I received a spiritual awakening which lifted me into a wonderfully awesome understanding of the singularity that explains the synchronicity of creation, life, and my humble place in the expanding cosmic universe. What a Eureka discovery!
Om: “Many sincere seekers have also experienced the similar reward of a sustaining inner peace which is beyond common-sense understanding. It is freely available to anyone and everyone who sincerely desire with all his/her mind, heart and soul to be empowered and emboldened by the liberating energy of spiritual awakening. No special techniques or secret knowledge or postures or rituals or chanting or ornaments is needed. Spiritual awakening is the necessary pre-requisite for living in eternity.”
Me: “Humans generally seek love and happiness in their search for meaningful purpose. Why do so many yet fail to grasp the abundance of love and happiness around them and are so well within their reach?”
Om: “The search for meaningful purpose is driven by an innate sense of incompleteness to be fulfilled by human companionship, service to others, self-efficacy and self-actualisation. Episodic moments of happiness provide the resultant sensation. Only repeated happiness can produce the desired continuous sustainable joy. The endless search for often elusive “more” and “better” happy occasions become quickly the justification for the pursuit of selfishness, thinly disguised as the noble accumulation of material wealth and prosperity in the hope of locating the happiness to satisfy that ultimate joyful true meaning and purpose of life existence. The original pursuit for life’s meaningful purpose quickly degenerates into itself as the end goal.”
Me: “The frustration in the search for the Truths is integral to one’s painful anguish in the loneliness of so many seeking purpose, meaning, love and happiness. The persistent painful anguish of loneliness, social rejection and alienation imprisons many within a cruel, meaningless, non-inclusive world without any significant others to love and share his/her life.”
Om: “Living in eternity involves being satisfied with “less-ness” instead of “more” and “better”. The fact is that the more one gets, the more one wants; and the more one knows, the more one realizes that he/she comprehends only so little of the eternal Truths that embodied the infinite cosmic wisdom and knowledge.”
Me: “Living in eternity is a most humbling yet wonderfully awesome and satisfying adventure. The Truths from eternity living are powerfully liberating as you grasp and understand the singularity phenomenon of the synchronicity of creation, life, science and your own humble place in the expanding cosmic universe. The harmony of social-psychological, physical and mental liberty defines true freedom and liberates one from the destructive need to dominate others, life, everything and anything. For example, Blue Leaders like Jack Ma, Bill Gates, Adrian Steirn, Srikanth Bolla and many others understand the principles of living in eternity well enough to practise Blue Leadership for a better society.”
Om: “Indeed, living in eternity is the only solution to the deepening sense of impotence and ignorance with an increasing sense of failure in one’s struggles with a daunting futility to grasp the elusive happiness goals in the aging years.”
Me: “What then are the biggest obstacles blocking living in eternity?”
Om: “The impact of man-made religions and beliefs acts like opiates to numb and frustrate spiritual awakening for living in eternity. They enslave their believers in the perpetual darkness of social withdrawal, self-doubt, low-esteem, ignorance and self-importance by persecuting the audacity of spirituality and the rejection of religions for the transforming life in eternity living. They will need to light up in order to disperse and escape the darkness of their self-imposed prison.”
Me: “Yes, I did discover early in my search journey the rampant hypocrisy and corruption prevailing in man-made religions and ideas. Their leadership advocates unquestioning, blind submission and obedience by controlling through purported “holy” books of sacred knowledge and claiming exclusive connections to their “Gods” or “gods”. It is also strangely baffling that otherwise well-educated and thinking humans would lend credibility and support the fake “divinity” of their leaders. The leaders often use Hell to frighten and control believers into unquestioning obedience and subservience.
Om: “As you have also discovered, anyone and everyone can reach-out and communicates directly to the true cosmic God without any human intermediaries. This Truth is so frightening to the leaders of man-made religions and beliefs. It means losing their power and control over their followers, as well as considerable wealth and properties. It behoves rational belief that the followers are so blinded to their leaders’ material wealth, opulence and physical wellbeing as most of them languish in want, poverty, hunger, diseases, lack of education and homelessness.
Me: “A calm sense of the unknown follows spiritual awakening and spiritual inspiration leads to wisdom. Wisdom is the principle of living in complete spiritual awareness that the true cosmic “God” is the guiding principle in living in eternity to empower and embolden growth, leadership and action with the highest endowed human capability. Spiritual awakening will set humans free from man-made religions and beliefs so they can begin living in eternity immediately. When spiritually awakened, the person will naturally want to live his/her life differently.
Om: “Living in eternity on Earth means that the person is willing to let go of the life he/she has planned so as to have the eternal life that is awaiting him.”
Me: “Essentially, living in eternity expands the human consciousness to empower and enhance compassion and to develop in others a greater capacity for love and for you to receive their love in turn. Living in eternity is the authentic living in truth and spirituality as one enjoys the eternal life in the present without fear or limit to bring out the natural spirituality in others as well.”
Om: “You clearly understand what living in eternity means. It’s time for you to meet and welcome the other new-comers. I will also arrange for our Conversations to be shared with others living on Earth so as to empower more of them to live the eternal life now.”
Me: “I realise now that you sound very familiar, and I believe I have also heard your voice before. Have we met? Are you God?”
Om: “Michael, we are actually old friends. I am everywhere and anywhere for anyone who calls for me anytime. We have numerous conversations over the decades during your Truth discovery journey, Michael. You have also sensed my frequent presence, especially in the stillness of your meditative quiet time and during your grief, happiness and joy.
Share these Conversations, Michael, so that those who are alive on Earth can be spiritually awakened to eventually make possible love and happiness from their seeming impossibilities.
Let your experience empower and embolden them to:
Question their Gods and gods; Have peace without wars; Have joy without pain & sadness; Abundance without poverty; Living without sickness and disease;
Sharing without exploiting; Collaboration without domination; Loving without hurting or being hurt; and
To live in eternity like no tomorrow by:
Just a little consideration for others; Just giving from what we have; Just sharing a little more from our abundance; Just be happy adding value for a little less profit; Just being more gracious and less calculative; Just be joyful to assist and serve without gain; Just go make poverty history; Just win the race against racism;
Just a little more love for your loved ones; Just pray for the power of love
To vanquish the love for power; And choose to do the things that others won’t, so that we can always do the things that they can’t.
