Dom’s Blog

James was a fast learner, his parents were both impressed how quickly he learned to speak and walk. It was as if he had always knew how. James didn’t have much interest in television, he preferred coloring and drawing. He loved all types of book and by the time he was four he could read. Pre school was boring for James, he didn’t fit in with other children. He would play by himself or once in a while he would play with Janet. She was a shy girl, the same age and height as James. She seemed not to fit in either and was also advanced for her age.

Both Janet and James went to Kindergarten together and their parents got to know each other and would setup play dates. James and Janet would read to each other and discuss the stories. Both sets of parents were amazed and felt lucky that they had such smart kids.  On one play date James read a book and the character was named Bob, James became very nervous when he read the book and said to Janet, “I know about Bob.” Janet didn’t understand what James was talking about and just kept on reading. James walked over to his mother and said, “Mommy, I know Bob,”, “Well Honey, how do you know Bob?”, “Mommy, I think I was Bob!”

I feel like I need to explain why I have not been updating this blog or most of my site since last October. Life became hectic last year and then I got sick and didn’t improve for a while. During that time I have been educating myself more in the field of Metaphysics and I have also been working on a certification to teach Meditation classes. I have been taking it easy so not to tire myself out but I am slowly coming back and have recently improved the website. I am also planning on continuing this blog with useful information and another afterlife story. I apologies to all that were followed this blog.

Namaste,

Darkness, just cold darkness. Then suddenly light! At 10:34 am on October 5th 2010 a baby is born. Healthy and wrapped in a warm blanket he is held by his Mother. Confused thoughts run through the child’s mind, something familiar, a faint memory of a time before and in a flash it is gone. The child is named James, after his Father. The child is like many children before him. All things are new, everything is a first. Or is it?

Bob didn’t know what to expect. Malbana appeared to take something out of his pocket, he kept what ever it was concealed. I asked him what was in his hand but he just closed his eyes in silence. Bob knew a change was about to happen, he felt different and realized that he remembered more about his journey that his life. He was drifting further from the life he once had. He knew he was ready but he didn’t know what to do next. Malbana opened his eyes and stood over Bob. He grabbed Bob’s hand and spoke, “You have been challenged and learned much on your journey and you are now ready to move ahead.” Malbana handed Bob a small book and touched the top of his head. “This book will prepare you for your next incarnation.” Bob knew it was time, he opened the book and it read, “Choose your destiny.” Everything faded to black!

As Bob looked out into the wide ocean he noticed an island in the distance. He was still a long way from it and considering he hadn’t seen land in hours, he decided that when he got closer he would dock. Bob’s mind still worked in human terms and for him he judged things with time and logic. He felt he was about 15 minutes from the island and again knew this was part of his journey. As he got closer he noticed a dock, he thought, “this is convenient.” He guided the boat into the dock and tied off. As he walked up the dock all he could see were trees and grass. there didn’t appear to be any civilization. It was a small island, no more than 2 miles across and about 3 miles long. Bob walked about a 1/4 of a mile before coming on to a path. The path took him to the center of the island and standing before him was a hut. The hut was nicely built and appeared to be new. He walked up to the door and knocked. “Come in”, a male voice spoke. Bob opened the door and saw a man sitting on the floor as if he just finished meditating. Bob said, “I hope i didn’t bother you?” the man answered, “I have been waiting for you, my name is Malbana and I know who you are.” Without saying another word Malbana gestured Bob to sit face to face. Bob sat and waiting to see what Malbana had planned for him.

Bob woke after what felt like months of sleep. Time wasn’t real but Bob felt different, refreshed and ready to start something new. What is was, he had no idea. He wanted to feel human but not go back to earth just yet. He had one more adventure he was willing to take and as he walked out the backdoor he knew exactly what he needed to do. He walked down the dock and climbed on the boat. He didn’t need a key; it just started up because he wanted it to. Bob sat down and back the boat out. Once he was in open water he headed into what seemed to be sunlight. He was alone, not one other boat on this massive ocean. He was free to go in any direction he wanted to. Bob realized that his former life was beginning to fade and then it hit him, “Reincarnation does not make you forget your memories, you afterlife journeys does.” This seemed to prepare him for another life on earth. It’s not that he forgot all together, just that it had slowly become distant. He knew his life would always be a part of him but allowed destiny to take over. He drove for hours and days without anything, all just to clear him out.

Bob looked at the screen and noticed that the newscaster was speaking directly to him.

“Hi Bob and welcome to your home. This will be you safe place and any time you go on a journey this will be where you end up. Some journeys are quick and others last centuries. It will take a while before you realize that time does not exist and you can travel to any time and place. You are free to explore anything at any time. Enjoy!”

The station changed to an old “Happy Days” episode and Bob stood up and walked into the bathroom. He looked around and everything was as if he was alive. He didn’t need to shower but still enjoyed the feeling, even though his body wasn’t solid or real. After his shower he walked out to his deck and looked out. He had a boat but was still unsure if he wanted another journey as of yet. He decided to go back inside and sleep for months. He didn’t plan anything, he just wanted to relax. He knew he would make a plan when he woke.

Bob didn’t know why he was in this house but he knew it wasn’t his. It seemed that Pooh enjoyed his company but was waiting for someone else to come home. The house did not look lived in; it appeared to be more of a vacation house that hadn’t been used in a while. It was clean and the pets were clean and fed. Bob knew he would find the connection soon and knew it was time to move on. He had enjoyed his stay and both him and Rex got back into the car and drove off. As they backed out they noticed Pooh at the window, he seemed to be happy. Bob drove back onto the highway and Rex curled himself up and fell asleep. Bob quickly came to a long bridge; this bridge would lead to an island that Bob could see in the distance. When bob reached the end of the bridge he noticed that the road was coming to an end. It circled around and ended at the shore. He pulled up to what seemed to be a house under construction. He pulled the car up to the house and woke Rex. They both got out and looked around. Bob heard noises that seemed to be men working and then a man walked out of the building and towards him.

“I see you got here sooner than expected. We thought we had a couple days before you would arrive.”

Bob seemed confused and put out his hand to shake,

“I am not sure what you are talking about.” Bob replied,

“Sorry, I thought you were told. My name is Anthony. We were contracted to build you a house and we had until tomorrow to finish, but considering you are here, we can finish today.”

The man walked back inside and called out, “He’s here, finish up boys.” and a moment later the house was done and everybody was gone. Bob walked in the house and noticed he had no furniture or appliances’. He knew things didn’t work by the rules here so he walked back outside and said to Rex, “I think the house needs a moment.”

Bob and Rex entered the house again but this time it was completely furnished with all the things Bob and Rex would like. They walked through the house and were pleased with all they found. They walked out the back door and noticed a path that led to a dock. At the dock stood a boat and Bob noticed that his house was directly across the water from the last house he was in. He knew this was for a reason but didn’t have the answer yet. Bob walked back inside and Rex continued to run around the yard. Bob walked into the living room and sat down on his couch. He grabbed the remote control and turned on his large television. He flipped channels and noticed that all the channels were showing shows and movies he liked or would have liked. All but one channel had shows tailored to Bob, the one that was different was a news channel. Bob chose the news channel and was surprised what he found……

Bob noticed how beautiful the drive was. He was on a two way road with water at each side of him. He noticed that this was similar to a past road but this time he knew what followed would be different. He drove and enjoyed his surroundings for a long while and he didn’t mind the long ride, he felt it gave him plenty time to think. He thought of all he had been through between his life and since dying. He never realized that death was a much greater adventure than life and that he was more alive now than when he was on earth. He knew he would never die again, or never get sick, or never feel hate or depression. He still had emotion but it was different, love was all consuming and he was experiencing an emotion he had never felt before. He still couldn’t describe what it was but he knew it was perfect and free.

Rex suddenly woke up and started barking. Bob looked over to him and said, “What is it boy, do you smell something?” Rex looked ahead and that’s when Bob noticed an exit coming up on his left. This was the first exit they saw since the store but Bob knew there was something different about this one. Bob followed the exit and drove down a dirt road until he reached a house. It was the only house around. He pulled up to the house and noticed a car in the driveway. He parked behind it and turned off the ignition. Bob opened his door and stood up; Rex jumped out of Bob’s door and ran away from the house towards the beach. Bob looked over at Rex and noticed a beach front with a dock and boat. Rex was enjoying running up and down the beach. Bob walked over to the car and looked in. The car looked somewhat old and faded from sunlight, it was gray and Bob noticed that it was a Chevy Camaro, he estimated that it was probably from the 80’s. Bob figured that someone was probably home. He walked up to the door and knocked, he waited but no one answered. He suddenly heard something inside, it sounded like little footsteps. Bob tried the door and it was unlocked, he slowly opened the door and walked in. He looked down and saw running towards his what he first thought was a strange rat. The animal jumped on Bob’s leg and Bob bent down to get a better look. Bob wasn’t much of a pet person but he was pretty sure that this little creature was a ferret. Bob then heard noise coming from a room, he walked over to what seemed to be a living room and found a television was on. He called out to see if anyone was home and every time he did the ferret jumped on him. Bob checked every room of the house and didn’t find anyone. He did notice that it had seemed that someone had been here not that long ago. He found one room that was full with musical instruments and another with reptiles and other animals. He walked over to one of the tanks; the top was open and inside was a shelter that had the name “Gilmour” written on it. He looked inside and found a snake curled up. He walked into other rooms and all had looked like they had been lived in, the library was full of books on afterlife, metaphysics, paranormal, parapsychology, psychology, physics, hypnosis and Star Wars. He walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and found it filled mostly with Pepsi and peek freans. Bob walked into the bedroom and it the corner found a small bed with the name “Pooh” written on it. He assumed that was the ferret’s bed. He walked back out to the living room and was a little confused of why he was here. He sat down on the couch and Pooh jumped on his lap. Bob took a moment to think of why he was here. Pooh was happy to see him….

Once Bob was passed over the bridge he noticed two roads, one in front of him and the other over to his left. Between the two roads was a strip of grass. It reminded Bob of many roads he had seen in his life but the difference was water was at each side of the roads. Bob has seen this before but something was different now. He knew he was coming close to something important and didn’t know yet what it might be. Bob drove what felt like four hours when he noticed that he was coming to a strip of land that look inhabited. After about another twenty minutes he saw an exit up ahead. He slowed down and took the exit. He noticed only one road and no people. he saw buildings but they all looked closed. He drove a while before coming up on what looked like a grocery store. He pulled the car over and looked over at Rex who was asleep in the passenger seat. He didn’t bother waking him. Bob turned off the ignition and put the keys in his pocket. He opened the door and looked around. It was a beautiful day, the kind of day that he got excited about when alive. It was warm with a slight cool breeze and a clear sky. Bob felt like he was back on earth and wasn’t sure if this wasn’t. He walked over to the store and opened the door. Inside he saw isles and isles of everything he had ever remembered and standing at the front register was a short, balding, elderly man who stood there with a huge smile.

“Welcome Bob, you finally made it.”

“Made it where? I am not sure what is going on.” Bob said,

“You can call me Barney, this is all for you. You can choose anything here to take with you are be delivered to your final destination.”

“My final destination? What do you know about that?”

“I know this is usually the last stop before the final destination for most. This is the point when you choose the earthly possessions you feel you still have a connection to. In time you may not need any earthly possessions but for now they will be of comfort.”

“Where shall I begin?” Bob asked,

“You may take a list and a cart, put only in your cart those things you wish to take with you now and write on the list those items to be delivered.”

Bob walked down each isle and made choices of things he knew he enjoyed in life. In his cart he grabbed a CD player and about 50 CD’s, he also grabbed several bags of gummy bears and milk bones for Rex. On his list he chose things that would make a home comfortable. When he was done he walked over to Barney.

“Now what do i do?” he asked,

“Just give me the list and your items will be waiting for you when you arrive.”

“Can I come back here if I need anything else?”

“No need, from this moment on you will have all that you need. Enjoy your journey Bob.”

“Thanks. It was nice to meet you Barney.”

Bob walked back to the car and opened the door. Rex was still asleep. He placed the milk bones on the floor by Rex and threw the CD’s in the back seat with all but one back on Gummy bears and one CD. He placed the radio between the seats and popped in a CD. Started the car and drove to the entrance of the highway. Bob rolled down the windows, grabbed a handful of gummy bears and enjoyed listening to Pink Floyd “The Wall”. Bob didn’t know what his final destination was but figured it couldn’t be bad.
