The Other Side is a Necessity, Not an Indulgence
Messages from my spirit guide about the Other Side
The Other Side is our home, a place we will all return to once we are done with this life. Most people are only vaguely aware of it, if at all. Many might have religious understandings of it and choose to fear it, to fear death, or to push it all away.
For those on the spiritual path, there is more acceptance of the Other Side. It is understood it’s our home, and it’s a place most feel curious about. I have noticed that even people on the spiritual path tend to push it away, though.
I have done this too. The thinking is that we are meant to focus on this life. We are meant to stay grounded. If we indulge in experiencing the Other Side too often, we will become homesick and not be able to keep our focus where it should be.
I asked my spirit guide, Rowland, about this recently. Should we focus on this life, try to be aware of the Other Side, but not much more? Is it important we stay grounded and focused on this life only?
His answer is the title of this story.
