COSMIC THOUGHTS

by Julian Joyce


DEATH

What is death? To many of us who know we have lived before in different bodies, it is just a pause between lifestreams. To others it is a doorway to heaven. To many it is an escape from physical pain. Life After Life, a book by Raymond Moody, continues to be most helpful to many. One aged minister of a certain church is now spending much of his current time fearing he will truly go to hell, to brimstone and fire, because when he was 16 he looked at a picture of naked women. Heavens to Betsy, I once saw more than 50 in the flesh on the beach in the Figis. Where will I go? And this was during World War II.

A current book, Always Karen, by Jeanne Walker, discounts reincarnation, despite Jesus' statement that John the Baptist was Elijah, and later that a man could be born again from the same mother's womb. The book's thesis is that all births are new and are the first and only times in the flesh. I hope to read this book very soon.

A few generations ago, it was preached by many that when you are dead, you are dead. Eat, drink and be merry while you can; there is no life beyond this one.

What I adhere to is best described in Phylos' A Dweller on Two Planets, as Zalim's trip into Devachon. In short, we continue as we were just before death and pursue in fantasy what we held as truth until we tire of this ego trip, and then, with the help of guardians, we decide to be born again in the flesh.

Perhaps in a similar way, death is just an R and R.

George Adamski, in his last lecture, which was in Washington, D.C., and I was in attendance, spent most of his three-hour talk telling about life on Venus. He described in detail how a most beautiful but 700-year-old woman had apparently learned all she could and wished to go higher than what life on Venus could give her. But she was too attached to her physical body. She therefore underwent a cremation-type experience which would free her from her physical body. Apparently no ashes were left in this experience.

Translation is also possible. Eventually we all will translate. Probably five Biblical characters translated, with Enoch being the main person. Translation is simply going into the next dimension without any R and R, by spiritualizing the so-called atoms (matter) of our body. Many of our space brothers can exist in our dimension as well as in a higher one. My book, Translation, recalls in essence the life of St. John, and how he translated.

Julian Joyce passed into the next dimension on Jan. 21. He was the Star Beacon's most regular contributor of articles, often taking the perspective of his faith, Christian Science, and applying it to his metaphysical beliefs. He will be greatly missed as he was loved by so many. May his soul find peace.
