Roberta Grimes – författare

Few people realize how much is known about what happens at and after death. Roberta Grimes has spent decades studying nearly two hundred years of abundant and consistent afterlife evidence, principles of quantum mechanics and consciousness research, accounts of statements by acknowledged authorities on this side of life and the next, and other scientific insights to assemble a detailed understanding of the death process and the amazing realities that we enter at death. Every human mind is eternal! We know now that living forever in a greater reality more wonderful than our most optimistic imaginings is our universal birthright. In The Fun of Dying - Find Out What Really Happens Next, Roberta lays out these facts in simple and understandable terms for people who are just beginning to explore what is known about the afterlife. She includes an annotated bibliography of some seventy books organized by topic so you can research and learn to your heart''s content. Discovering what can now be demonstrated to be true about God, reality, death, the afterlife, and the meaning and purpose of human life turns out to be not about dying after all. It''s a way to conquer every fear so you can live your most peaceful and empowered life.

Those who have died usually give us touching and sometimes amazing signs of their survival, very much as if they were sending postcards from the beautiful realities where they now reside. Unfortunately, few of those who are grieving are aware of the kinds of things that the newly dead most often do to prove to us that they have survived, so many of these post-death signs are missed. And if we don''t acknowledge what our dead loved ones are doing for us, soon they will shrug and give it up. In The Fun of Staying in Touch, Roberta Grimes lays out in simple terms how these signs from the dead are delivered, how to spot and acknowledge them, and how to encourage ongoing relationships with people we used to think were dead. Our loved ones are always available to communicate; they are only a thought away. They receive our requests to speak with them and come from wherever they are, without question. Roberta''s book also examines the many ways in which we ourselves can initiate contact with those who have died, some ancient and some on the cutting edge. From scrying and pendulums through self-induced communications and the soul phone, this whole area of exploring ways to stay in touch with those we love holds exciting possibilities that are going to bear fruit later in this century. It is looking ever more likely now that before long those that we used to think were lost will be only a loving phone call away.

We all seek meaning in our lives, especially as we move past the grubbing for money and status of our early years. And even those who find earthly success soon discover that there is no end to those struggles, no top to be found, no rat-race prize, so every thoughtful person eventually sees that whatever success we might find on earth gives us nothing more than toys whose luster is going to dim as our bodies fail. No matter how rich and famous we become, we realize in the end that we have never owned anything.

The only thing that you and I can own is the powers of our eternal minds, so achieving spiritual growth while on earth is the best way to add to our permanent wealth. Achieving spiritual growth turns out to be the whole secret to human happiness. This is true for all of us, whether rich or poor and no matter how much fun we might seem to be having. Since we have not known why we were here, we have been seeking happiness in all the wrong places; but thanks to insights lately received from people we used to think were dead, our floundering is about to end. And what we are learning now about the spiritual growth that is our core human need is remarkable:

·       Growing spiritually has nothing to do with religions. In fact, as you will see, religious practices can impede or even prevent spiritual growth.

·       Growing spiritually is amazingly easy! You can make it a part of your daily life without much affecting your routines, and almost from the start it feels delicious. It doesn''t take long to make lots of progress, so it never is too late to begin.

·       Growing spiritually makes you happier. Whatever else may be going on in your life, elevating your personal spiritual energy makes coping easier. It makes everything look brighter.

Growing spiritually can bring you a much better afterlife experience. The heavens that we enter at death turn out to be a spiritual hierarchy in which those who are more developed spiritually will have much richer eternal lives. Since you are here and living this earth-life anyway, why not use whatever time you have left to make your eternal life more wonderful?

Jesus taught us little that was new! For centuries prophets had been bringing God''s messages to our benighted world, but in those ancient days what had been divine truths soon were muddled by human superstitions. It was the beautiful mission of Jesus to clear away all that was of man and reveal at last the truth of God!

If you are delighted with your Christian denomination, this book is not for you. But if you are like so many of us who were reared in the religion but have increasingly found it spiritually wanting, you will be glad to discover that a fresh look at the message of Jesus yields a thrillingly positive Christianity based in God''s eternal love that can powerfully transform both your life and the world.

Jesus tells us that spiritual growth is the purpose of human life, and it turns out that our most effective program for rapid spiritual growth is the Gospel words of Jesus. In The Fun of Loving Jesus, Roberta Grimes invites us to sit at the feet of the Master and hear afresh. His plan for spreading love to all the world. As Roberta says, "Growing spiritually makes you the happiest that you can be!" There also is evidence that if as few as 10 percent of us will follow the Gospel teachings, we can claim at last an ancient promise. We can transform the world from its present despairing state into the universal garden of love that Jesus referred to as the Kingdom of God.
