Rooms

Note from Suzanne: I am participating in a special retreat from March 2nd to the 8th. I will be spending much time in meditation with Sanaya, but far less time on the computer. To optimize this experience (and at the advice of friends) this week will feature past postings from Sanaya which others have highlighted as favorites. New postings will resume on March 9th. Love and blessings to all ...

How do you remain calm in the face of death?  It is easy when you know the Truth that death is merely a door to the next room.  Do you fear walking from one room to another here in your reality?  The furnishings may change, as may the colors on the walls, but you did not change as you stepped across the threshold.  Thus, you had no fear.  It is the same when the spirit leaves the body.  The colors you perceive may be more brilliant, the “furnishings” may sparkle a bit more, but you did not change at all.  The real you remained as pure consciousness and love at the core.

Some fear death, fearing nothing but darkness.  What do you do when you step into a darkened room in your house?  You turn on the lights and lo!  You discover the room is filled with things to behold, awaiting your experiences there.  Your Father’s mansion has many rooms.  To turn on the lights, you need merely flip the switch.  That switch lies within you.  It is operated by your consciousness as spirit, not as a human in physical form.

Do not fear death for yourself or others.  Know that your entire existence consists of stepping eternally from one room to another and turning on the lights.
