Angels at death?

Do angels draw close when we cross over, on this side just before, are they with us duruing death and there to greet us after, is there an angel who is the 'angel of death'who welcomes us to the otherside?

Azrael is the Angel of Death. In learning from the Light they talk about how Angels, and Spirit beings are around the individuals before they pass over. Preparing them.

My dad recently told me a story of a relative that one day say some Angels around him. And outside his house. He mentioned it to someone else who asked if he should see a doctor because of this and if the Angels think he should. They said yes, and he went to the emergency room. He was diagnosed with being in the middle of cardiac arrest.

Thanks for that.

Yes, I believe he did.

That's excellent, so he truly was saved by angels

Family members who have gone before us come back for us when it is our time to die. This has been reported by Hospital workers who have noted that patients who are at deaths door often say they have seen parents or grand parents who have long passed over come to visit them.

I've seen this happen, a few hours before a death, the look of pure joy on their face said it all, someone had come to take them home.

Illness must be the easy one for going back into the light. Sudden unexpected deaths where the decessed is confused must be the hard one for going back into the light as they may not know they are dead. In modern living most people ingore each other, if you live in a city you'll know what I mean. So if all of a sudden, everyone was ignoring you you may think everyone is being funny instead of the fact that no one can see you owning to the fact you've died.

Yes I agree with you it must be a hell of a shock to some.

How can there be an "angel of death" (other than in the psyches of those who believe in them) when in reality there is no death?

If we hold beliefs strongly enough then maybe we'll create for ourselves exactly what we always believed we'd experience after the death of our physical body?

In the next level of the etheric we're taught that material there is able to be manipulated, objects created from the strength of our thoughts.... A world in which situations can be created.

They may help our transition but equally they may constrain our development.

Interesting thoughts,Mac.
In other words,it is time to forego the memories of the physical life and live our new life as it is meant to be lived in spirit,if we can use the word 'live'.
Considering angels,I've not heard of them being present at death,but we never know do we?

No I wouldn't say that memories from the physical realms should be let go, only that some people will carry over with them beliefs so strong that the material of their new reality will reflect their long-held beliefs. It's something they may find hard to change - decades of conditioning can have an impact on our psyche which may be carried over into the etheric. It's something that won't happen to all, however - just as I've said on numerous occasions before about other situations. There's no single rule that determines outcomes.

We have been taught that there will always be discarnates around at our passing. For some they will appear as traditional angels, those who have wings etc. where for others they will not.

The notion of an 'angel of death' however is something which can likely be tracked down to the conditioning of humankind by its religious leaders and institutions.

Going back to 'carrying memories over',Mac.
I did read somewhere that the memories we take with us,do fade over time,I wonder just how long those memories last?
You see this is where I read so many contradictions
One book reported that our memories fade with time.
Another said our memories of our loved ones never fade.
Confusing.....to say the least.

Fading doesn't necessarily mean they fade away for good.

Some memories when we're in-the-body stay with us always (given sound brain health). Other less important ones fade and can even disappear or perhaps be recalled only after some form of prompt. It's said by psychiatrists that regular recall of important events re-establishes them in our memory cells but others which are not regularly re-visited can get hazy - not necessarily fading completely away but diminishing in intensity, details not so easily recalled....

Of course that applies to our physical brain and I have no idea whether the etheric counterpart will experience such limitations but just maybe there will be a similar mechanism but one where fading takes place over a much longer period?

Whad'ya reckon?

Silly me,we don't have a brain after we pass,do we?
Now how do we account for memories in spirit?
Where are those memories then?
Is that why they fade away in time?

Hello
We all have our 'Guardian angel'! But we also have various members of our family and friends. I like to think there is a 'party' celebrating our 'life'!
Peter

I wonder if there really is an Angel of Death figure? Tradition seems to suggest there is. Pagans believe there was a ferryman who took the departed to the otherside and used to place coins on the departeds eyes so they could pay the ferryman.

A 'welcome home ' party,Peter!

"Silly me,we don't have a brain after we pass,do we?" Not silly at all. I don't know what organs - if any - will be found in the etheric counterpart of our physical body. I don't know if any guidance on that has been communicated.

I suspect that memories will be embedded in some as yet undefined manner 'within' our discarnate selves but exactly how that works I'd like to know - I confess it's something I've never contemplated and it's an interesting issue.
Good stuff, Joanie!

Hello Mac

I think we are back to the multi-dimensional universe! In 3- dimensions we need a brain to store memories etc. But if the spirit world is 5 or 6 or 7 dimensional then we have no idea of what would constitute a memory storage facility.
I have never encountered this problem before--will ask around and see what others think/know!

I read awhile ago,now not sure if it was one of the SB's books that in the etheric body,we are formed like the physical body but minus the organs like the stomach,heart etc all the bits that we needed on earth to keep the physical body nourished and to breathe.
Brain,I am not sure of.

As the brain controls all the physical functions then it might be expected that if they're not present, cos they're not needed, a controlling mechanism wouldn't be needed for 'em.....

Yuh kinda get the impression that in the etheric we're just hollow vessels!

Imo there is nothing physical that travels with us to the spirit world when our physical body dies how can it? The brain remains in the body to decay this proves imo that memories, personality and such are not physical and are not stored in the physical otherwise they would be lost at death, we do not breathe in spirit, we do not even speak (as we know it now,) how can we, we have no tongue, no vocal chords. We are spiritual energy and I believe it is this energy that stores such things in the physical, it's what sets us all apart otherwise all us humans would be like robots, it is this essence, this energy, this spirit which holds memories, emotions, love.

Think some more, about Alzheimer cases (just for example) often their memories are seemingly lost because of their condition, they forget who family members are, so how do they come through in readings after they pass with their memories still in tact, if such things were stored in the brain and the brain went to spiritworld too they would be the same, no memory still with alzheimers. It is not the body that is healed when we cross, for there is no body to heal, our spirit self free from the bonds of flesh and illness and pain imo is simply free.

i'll shut up now

Everything on the outside and nowt in the inside.
Now don't quote me,but I am sure the book said we still had lungs to breathe.
I may be wrong but there was mention of air to breathe.
