Hilarion: It is a very interesting perspective, unique in the way in which the beings who inhabit the other planets, the other systems that have evolved. You see, for many of them death, reincarnation, the way this sort of thing works is so different. The consciousness is available, it physicalizes for awhile and at some point for whatever reason it chooses to physicalize in a different body. Not at all the perspective that you have that sense of tremendous loss, because memory is maintained. If you maintained memory you would block out many of the issues that are difficult for you and in many ways the emotional side of things would probably be less and less emphasized. So the pushing away of such memories has its value. You remember the unconscious, you take that life lesson lifetime after lifetime about love, about emotion, about perspectives that are running you at a very deep level and not the thoughts, ideas, and memories.
Yet, there will come a time for humanity when this process is unnecessary. When the way of death is obsolete and the way in which you will choose your own consciousness and how it embodies will make much more sense to you to be done entirely conscious from beginning to end, entirely aware from beginning to end. The end, being the end to consciousness at the physical level, entirely.
But, for now this perspective is given to people over and over and because you have the sense that you have been on the other side, you have the gentle memories of this. You seek it again in this world through an explanation of death that has tended in the past by the majority of individuals, to be religious or superstitious, depending on how far back you go and into current reality much more into the perspective of the scientific or the spiritual, while the religious and to some extent the superstitious still hangs on.

The intent then is to give you choice, to give you the possibility to choose for yourself without it being that which is forced upon you. Because then you can see what makes the difference throughout all of that which enhances the experience of coming into the body, that which enhances the experience of letting go of the body, that which allows you the opportunity to give solace, aid, and benefit to those who do not have the larger perspective, those who grieve for those who have passed on. It is love, it is compassion, it is caring and it is one of those examples where to a large extent it is not very concerned with wanting something.
When the individual is grieving and has the perspective that they want so much for this other person to somehow be there again when they have passed they certainly are not loving. They are wanting something. But, you in coming into this situation may have a completely different perspective. You may not then want the other person to be there as much as you simply want this other person to find peace. As you allow this sense of love and caring you are primarily there to listen, to hold their hand, to give them solace, a shoulder to cry on or the ear to listen to. What you are wanting from this is simply to be, to have presence, to have love. Do you see then the value of death? How in the opportunity to share with each other, to assist each other in this process you are perfecting your ability to love without wanting. You are perfecting your ability to have compassion and caring.
Now of course, for the individual who is going through this, who has had a great attachment to the person who has passed, to the pet who has died, to the system which has passed from your planet. There are many ways to answer the question about death of course other than human death. There is this perspective that they come to, this way in which they are able to understand these things once they release the emotions. Certainly to ask such a question such as, "who is experiencing these emotions right now? Who is experiencing that?" can be helpful. But, by and large there does appear that the individual in having this grieving, and having the separation energy must go through it, they must feel it, they must feel it to their own core and as a result recognize the degree of attachment to that which they call love they have for this other person. This also develops the ability to love but not the place it is directed.
We would never want to step in and say that because the individual has passed on to a greater reality, the Summerland and eventually the intermissive as a result of their perspective, their life review and moving on their energies, then choosing another incarnation, then somehow, because of that you shouldn't grieve. But, you should also understand where those energies come from because sometimes the power of that grief is not just the attachment to the other person. It is the buried emotion about death that you have experienced yourself; the energies of your own past lives and the way in which you died frequently in past lives. The way in which on your planet there is the collective grief about transformation. It is an energy that does then give a goodbye, a release to the old, a welcoming to the new and that is sometimes a perspective that is helpful.
But, generally speaking as you understand about death you are then brought very powerfully to understand it in a way in which you hear it and know it with the emotions, but you also hear it and know it with your mind and it would seem that at times there is no easy blending or bridging of the two. Yet, in the way in which they can be understood as opposites you are then given the perspective through love to balance these, to hold them both, to learn and grow simply by loving. By loving the perspective that the individual was able to have in being here and that which they have on the other side and loving those who are grieving, loving the process where possible for what it brings and knowing that at some point that love may be possible to manifest without such a powerful, emotional process.
