Multi Vehicle Maintenance

Do you think we’re running out of topics?  Has the time comes to stop this experiment?

I don’t see this as an experiment – or if I did, I don’t any longer.

And no, I don’t think we’re running out of topics.  There is a ton of stuff left to talk about.

What do you want to talk about then?

Well, when you asked the question what literally popped into my head was “Where do we go when we die?”  And then I shied away from it and you nudged.

So, okay, let’s go with that – where do we go when we die?

By die I take it you mean leave your physical body behind.  And by your body I mean the one you’ve become attached to and become identified with.

Your physical body is not you.

Consider it a loaner or something you grow out of, like clothes or a car or anything else you have that you use for a long time and then discard for a new one.

That sounds a little crass or insensitive.

Well, I don’t mean it that way, yet I do.  The insensitivity you feel is due to your attachment.

Your body is very personal to you, yet you don’t take care of it that way.  You take better care of your car and clothes than you do your body.

And yet your body keeps working hard for you, just like, say, your vehicle does.  Consider your body another vehicle for you to get around in.

Just like your car or bike or moped, if you neglect your vehicle then eventually it will break down.  Sometimes it’s fixable and other times it’s not.

Unfortunately you have more control over how you maintain your body than you realize.

I thought you were going to say we have more control over how we maintain our vehicles – cars, bikes, mopeds and such.

Well, that is true too – for now.  You have direct control over what goes into your vehicle.  You have limited control over what goes into your body.

You may think you control what you eat but you don’t know what all went into that.  What chemicals have gone before you in the water, earth and air to produce what you call food.

Your governments have determined there are acceptable levels of toxins that may enter your body.  Only they look at a single item and not the cumulative whole.

And then there are chemicals you put in your dyes and polishes and cleaners and so on which enter your body too.

Some of what comes in contact with your body you can control directly.  Other things you must come together to control.  That is fully in your control whether you want to do that or not.

Do not look at it as an impossible task.  It is more possible than you know.

Believe me, if you change the way you try and bring about change in your societies with your governments – you will see fast results.

You have examples in your world right now of what can be done in a short time.

Look at these to see how they can be used and changed to be even more effective.  You are just scratching the surface of what can be accomplished when you work collectively.

Okay.  So do I need to come back around to the original question about what happens after death?

Nothing really.  You don’t return anywhere or go to heaven or hell, or any step in between.

Think of what happens when you get rid of an old vehicle.  What happened with your truck just recently?

Well, the long story is we came to the decision that the truck wasn’t safe anymore, or rather we didn’t feel safe driving the truck.  The cost to repair it – if it could be – would be more than what we could sell the truck for.  So we decided to recycle it at the auto wrecker.

And …

We felt bad about doing that because the truck had served us well.  There were a lot of memories associated with the truck.

And you still have those [memories]?

Yes.  So we took the truck in and now we have another truck.

So your truck changed but you remained the same.  Same person, different truck.

Yes.  That would be accurate.

The same is true of you.  Same you – same soul, different body.

By the way, do you feel different driving your new truck?

Yes, it feels totally different.  Handles not even close to the same way.  At times I feel like I’m driving a car or van, not a truck.

And that is why you feel different in another body.  Who you are, your soul, remains the same but it has a different, unique experience from body to body.

You like to call this personality.  Just like no two vehicles feel the same, even if the same model, no two bodies feel the same.

That makes sense.  Puts it all in a different perspective.

That was the point.  To take the emotion out of it for you.

I hope people aren’t offended.  Especially those who have lost a dear one recently.

You have not offended nor committed an offense.  You have come here to answer many questions.

And in that they will find peace.  Their dear ones are still here but in a different form and still connected very deeply.

You have given here another way of seeing that.  Do not be ashamed of simple answers or those that appear silly.

They are meant to be heard in a way other answers cannot.  In that there is much great service to the world.

That is why you and I are here in this together.
