FEAR, GUILT, AND NEGATIVITY
While preparing for death it is well to remember that these lower frequency emotions do not serve you. They create panic and chaos during your life as well as after. It is best to rid yourself of them now so they cannot affect the rest of your life or death. These energy stealers rob you of your joy for living and have no redeeming features.

One of the easiest ways of eliminating them is to ask for assistance from the Heavenly Helpers. Once you recognize the negative force that fear and worry are, simply decide that now is a great time to free your life from fear forever. Ask for Divine help in ridding yourself of your fear. God, the universe, Buddha, Jesus, or the angels, depending upon your beliefs, are willing to help you. But you must be willing to let go of your fears. Ask for help and then follow your inner guidance.

Another technique involves visualizing. See all your fears, worry, etc. take physical form. Then dissipate the forms. Burn them, zap them with love, disintegrate them with light. Be creative, but see yourself doing it. Know that once you have willed them to be gone, they must leave. Act on one issue at a time. As you give it form, pay special attention to it. Really experience it and notice all its attributes. Then when you eliminate it from your life know that it is gone, unless your thoughts invite it back. As you eliminate each less desirable emotion, replace it with something desirable (love, trust, courage, faith etc.).

As your mind dwells on a topic, it is manifest in your life, not immediately but definitely! Each new thought can be an invitation for these nonproductive emotions to rejoin you. During life your thoughts and words have creative power, even though it is a slow process, eventually these become your reality. In the beginning, while you are unaware, it is a slow process. This is a safety device meant for our protection. The more aware you are of this truth, the faster the manifestation.

After death these same thoughts become your instant reality. Therefore, if you move into the death process filled with fears and guilt, you will torture yourself until you release them from your existence.

Native Americans had a special technique for releasing their emotional garbage. They would dig a hole and speak into it all their negative experiences, thoughts, and/or feelings. When they had given it all to Mother Earth they would fill the hole. Often they would plant a seed, knowing that Mother Earth would use their emotional garbage for fertilizer from which something beautiful would grow. I love this ritual, and have used it on many occasions. I choose to plant a tree. Our planet needs more trees, and humanity has plenty of emotional fertilizer to give them a healthy start.

Whenever you experience fear, guilt, or any negative feelings, dig a hole and put your emotional dung into the hole. Then plant a tree in the hole. Ask Mother Earth and the spirit of the tree to help you move into a peaceful, loving existence and to use your fertilizer for the highest and best good for all concerned. If you are unable to do it for real, do it in your mind. You may have to plant many trees to get rid of it all of your garbage, but you will feel wonderful.
ASK TO KNOW TRUTH
Prepare yourself for death by allowing the actual or ultimate reality of death to enter your consciousness. This can happen as you learn the truth about it. No one can teach you truth; it must be allowed and recognized through your inner knowing. You can speed the process by asking the God Presence to help you learn the truth about death. As you read or listen to others, ask for the ability to discern truth. As you make death a topic of conversation, listen for truth. Learn to trust your inner knowing.

This book and all other books share their authors’ truths. Their truths may or may not be your truth. This book can be a catalyst in helping you become aware of your own truth if you allow it. Facts and opinions are given to you or gathered by you, but truth is a gut-level recognition. This internal knowing can never be given by others, and certainly can never be taken from you. Your personal truth will lead you to the ultimate truth about life and death. At the introductory level, there are many truths, but eventually, all lead to the single ultimate truth. It is an inward journey.

Open your mind and let your intuition bring you truth. Relax and let your mind float. Don’t try to force information; instead let your imagination gently guide your thoughts over and around the thought of death. Do this for as long as you feel comfortable with it. A few minutes can be just as productive as a half hour. A relaxed mind is much more receptive to Divine inspiration. You may not receive profound thoughts at this moment, but you have begun to make your mind more receptive to Divine insights. Keep your mind in a relaxed state as you continue your daily activities.

Trust, knowing that at the right time you will know the truth about death (or any other topic you choose). Watch for your own change of feelings and attitudes, and for “messages” that may come in the form of comments from others, intuitive thoughts, or passages from written material. The Bible tells you to ask and you shall receive. If you ask to know the truth, you will be given truth. But this requires you to keep your mind open to it. If your mind is closed down to all but your current beliefs, it will be harder for you to know truth and more disturbing for you to accept.

Ask for the ability to discern truth, then learn to trust this ability, knowing you have it. Keep check on your gut feelings as you read this book and experience other material. Eventually your created image of death will be replaced with the true reality of death.
MAKE PEACE WITH LIFE
The secret to an easy transition into the next dimension is found by living life in a way that eliminates any loose ends that entangle you to this life. This means that you must make peace with life, which automatically eliminates any loose ends. These unresolved issues can and do affect your life, but for now we will focus on how they affect your death.

To make peace with life, you must make peace with all experiences and people in your life. Begin by making peace with everything and everyone around you. When you make peace with life, you will automatically find peace in death. A state of serenity during the death process helps determine your transition experience. Therefore it is important to spend time making peace with people, issues, and emotions. Time and effort invested now can pay off big later on.

If you are angry at someone, this irritation plays over and over in your consciousness and can keep you Earthbound. Carried to an extreme, this negative frequency will keep you from moving on spiritually. There are people who die, yet refuse to move on to their higher good. They become trapped at this lower vibrational frequency and are unwilling and/or unable to move on. There are many accounts of dead people who linger around the house where they died, especially if they died violently. They are trapped because their mental state has not allowed them to move on. Being murdered can tend to spoil your day, but there is no sense in allowing it to spoil your eternity!

I am sure you know people who became angry over some little incident and stayed angry for years or even decades. These are prime candidates for getting stuck. If you happen to be one of these emotional flytraps, you’d better start releasing now. Release old hurts, old wounds, old issues, and old feelings.

There is no magic trick; just do it.
