I believe we live forever, if we get in touch with our feelings we will have them forever. I believe in reincarnation, so for me, when I die in this life time, I know I’ll be back again, continuing to Feel..

For sure you made a nice blog here. But not sure if you really happy inside yourself.
Perhaps you travel to India or a third world country beyond of 6 months, then I am sure your idea would change for ever.
Namaste’

Thank you for your kind words on my blog. Since you’ve not explained your thoughts behind your statement I can only surmise here, but I’ve a feeling you may have missed one of the points of this post, which is that we can experience great joy and happiness even WITHOUT a purpose in life. For me, the “purpose” is not what creates happiness. It is in being comfortable with myself (happy as you say) even WITHOUT a purpose. Many people cannot find happiness unless they have a purpose. But for me, my natural state IS “happiness” with or without a purpose and I experience great “happiness” just in being alive. Thank you for visiting. Robin — PS: BTW, I have traveled to many parts of the world and lived with other cultures and ANYWHERE I’ve traveled has affected my life perspective.

Hi Robin,
I hope it’s okay to leave a comment even though I just discovered your blog today and only read part 5. I know I take the chance that my comment may not relate (as I haven’t read Parts 1-4) but after reading your thoughtful words I was left with this: What if living is actually about life after death?

Very beautiful, very powerful post, Robin. You created the scene so beautifully I felt it. It was a transmission. And I loved the message you received “You are eternal energy. You are pure intelligence, fantastic creative intent. ” You know, it’s interesting, I have been reading about physical immortality a bit, but sometimes the material doesn’t resonate with me, because the focus seems to be on keeping our physical body as is, which is fine if someone wants that, but personally never felt very appealing to me. But this statement of yours is IT, is immortality, for me. We create our lives, we create our deaths (or non-deaths.) It is all the same. And it means that perhaps all we have read about death in the various religions – heaven, hell, rebirth, reincarnation, whatever – they are all true, not in competition, depending on where we take our energy and what we want to experience and create.

The perfect conclusion to this series. I can’t use the word ‘ending’ as I now doubt that such a thing exists:-)

I heard a poem a while ago and one of the lines included the words, ‘and when we open to it, vulnerability is power’.

The image I have of you standing naked in the forest, illustrates those lines.

‘If I follow I miss myself’….soooo true. This resonates deeply with me, though it is still a very new revelation. I feel I have much to learn from others, but for the first time in my life I also feel I can uncover so much through turning into my heart and tuning into the universe. In the past if my view differed from someone else’s I would doubt and alter mine. I lost all contact with my intuition and lost my way. The WONDERFUL news is that IT never went away. I am rediscovering that primal sense, and my true-self and everything else.

I do think I have some very strange ideas that are difficult to articulate sometimes. However, people who touch others are immortal because they are alive in the people that love them, be they on this earth or elswhere. For this reason Robin, you will always be alive because you touch so many…………
I know what I mean……….anyway

Hi Robin .. it is strange that age thing .. I’m not sure why but I always thought retirement was a ‘dead end’ – and if that’s what you thought – that’s what happened. Just by default .. I was always positive and ready to get up and go – I remember standing behind someone at and Marks and Spencer cashier in South Africa and thinking .. come on, get on with it .. and at that stage we had to produce ID cards for cheques etc .. and she produced hers and I nearly fell over – she was the same age as me & definitely looked 20 years older. The same applies now – if we act with ‘vim and vigour’ .. then we’ll be younger in our attitude.

As Tess, the Bold Life, posted a while ago .. jump in the deep end – and as you’re saying live life to the full and certainly in nature .. life just is.

I’m pleased I’ve found another way .. beyond the boundaries as defined by others .. they can be so negative.

I do hope that I can experience your aspects at some stage in the future – it must be awe inspiring .. I’ll work towards avoiding the external input and do the active living, listening and feeling … to learn the way.

This is a wonderful series .. and we’ve all learnt so much from it ..

With love – Hilary Melton-Butcher

I could swear I had left a comment, but, I guess I had only thought about it.

The idea that there is no ‘purpose’ in the sense of action is so freeing. I can’t help thinking of Hamlet here! We are trained to be greyhounds chasing the mechanical rabbit.

We are all expressions of the One. Life and Death. The stories that we write, how ever we choose to live, are what have meaning. We must not confuse meaning with purpose.
