The Lava Lamp One
Part 1 of the ‘Death topic request series’ from the FB Group.
Originally published on one of our FB groups.
Strangely enough some people are actually reading these mega long facebook posts and even commenting. A couple of people have even asked me to talk about something specific. The topic @AraidaWolf requested was ‘Death’ and so rather than just reveal all the secrets of death (which I don’t approve of) I will make a whole series for this month dedicated to the subject. I’m gonna call it the ‘Death topic request series’ because it kinda rolls off the tongue (or not lol.)
So first up the title suggested was ‘The End of You’ and so i’m gonna propose a little something for you all to think about. It’s some kind of flawed metaphor which may help start a conversation. The reason it’s flawed is because people have to work at answers and this is really an Advanced(ish) witchcraft group and so why would I state the obvious answer to a question we surely all have knowledge of being Advanced(ish) magical practitioners lol.
The questions posed by a mentee were ‘How does reincarnation work?’ And ‘What happens when we die?’
I started by saying “Lots of things can happen when you die and if you really want to know then go and bloody find out as i’m not going to tell you the answer”
I continued to rattle on for a bit and started talking about lava lamps and crap which kinda made sense to the person in question but which I know struggle to remember the finer details of, although it went something like this.
If you imagine the physical world is the bottom of a lava lamp, and the heat source is the energy your physical and astral body currently has. What happens to that bubble at the point of death? Well it has enough energy inside it to remain intact and raise and hover (almost to a high vibration), as it goes up on the moment of death it has energy enough to remain intact. What happens then it gets to the top of that little lava lamp though? It starts to fall of course.
Why does it fall though? Well because it has no energy left. The heat source is at the bottom of the lamp and it gave the little bubble enough energy to give it lift off, but now it’s away from the heat source it has now more energy to keep it hovering and so it drifts back down to the bottom. Back down to the physical world.
Some say there are secrets buried within the concept of the lava lamp which reveal important reincarnation secrets. I made up the lava lamp example to mess with the person who asked the question. It’s a flawed and inaccurate way of describing how reincarnation works, but it was of course never designed to actually explain to the person how reincarnations actually work.
It did, however, stimulate the person's brain and get them to ask further questions, better questions, and more importantly not questions the mentee who I was talking to was going to ask me, but instead questions she was going to ask herself.
The lava lamp story makes people think about lots of things and also made the person in question remember about the work they did with a certain dead person's spirit and the experiences they had with working with and studying the dead and how they dissolve away into ...
If I had to guess what death feels like, I'd say it probably feels like waking up. Like when I have intense, vivid dreams that seem to last for months (or years sometimes) and when I wake up it takes me a second to remember that I'm "Adele". I think maybe when I die, it will be similar, except this life will be the dream and where ever I am will be "real".
