A Word from the Editor...

Dear Readers…

Like many of Innerchange’s feature topics, “Exploring Realms Beyond This Life” was born out of a deep conversation with a close friend who asked me, “So, what DO you think happens when you die?”

I know I have thought of this question in the past – as we all have – and I’m sure I came to some conclusions for myself. Heaven and Hell – NO. Reincarnation – YES. Spirit Guides and Angels helping with the transition – DON’T KNOW. White light at the end of the “tunnel” – HOPE SO!

Truthfully, though, I haven’t thought about this for years. Even with my father’s sudden passing five years ago, the question didn’t arise for me. Perhaps I was too enveloped in grief. Perhaps I trusted that my innate beliefs were still true, and I didn’t need to think or worry on this question.

But when my friend, whose beliefs are of the Heaven/Hell variety, posed the question to me, I thought it was time to re-examine the question, poke at my beliefs to see if they still held true for me. There are facets to this question that I have yet to explore in depth but, overall, I can say YES! The answers I found for myself many, many years ago are still true for me today.

This edition of Innerchange brings several colorful, philosophical articles about other “realms.” Enjoy your own exploration!
