…That I am reading a travel guide for the afterlife?
As it says… it is one trip that we are all going to take.
I am one of those types that believes he has lived before. More than once. So, considering there was previous life I would need to assume that I have experienced death. Will I recognize it? Is it there to be recognized or will my soul simply leave and this mortal body become the empty shell it began as?
Fascinating. Who knows?
Today I was handed this book hailed as “essential reading for the pre-deceased” and I was sure that it would be a good read for me. Why? Because death fascinates me. I have thought about it endlessly for most of my life. It is on my mind daily in my middle age. I am not afraid of it. Some days I wouldn’t feel it such a bad idea. Trust me… this is not a cry for help. I am not plotting my demise. I just look at the reality of a pretty messed up world and know that I am going to try and do my best to be ready when my time arrives.
Naturally that isn’t always possible. But perhaps that is precisely the point of a book like “The Beginner’s Guide for the Recently Deceased”.
Consider the preface: The Beginner’s Guide for the Recently Deceased is written for the dead. If, however, you are yet to make the transition, we suggest you pour yourself a glass of wine, settle back into a comfortable chair, and let the author take you on a guided tour of the extraordinary.
Damn. Wine? Sometimes it sucks being sober.
Perhaps the point to this blog entry is one of the staples I have written about in the past… and will be sure to write about in the future. Be careful what you wish for. You might notice that I am constantly talking about and wishing for travel. I wonder if this is the travel I could be preparing for? Will I get to Sydney first? Will I make it back to London?
I can’t worry about that. I am convinced I’ve lived in London in at least two of my past lives… who’s to say that I won’t jump back in the next.
The next? And just how many will there be? Is it wise to assume that I will get places I want to go in another life? HELL NO. I actually would far prefer to get back to London as many times as humanly possible while in this one. That’s the plan.
I am looking for change. The book is fascinating and could prove to be fortuitous… but quite frankly, I am not quite ready for that trip yet.
Well now… a particularly heavy entry today, eh? I’ll be back with something lighter…. unless I am suddenly traveling. 
Be Happy. Be Well. Be.
