Textauszug

Introduction

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

–Rumi, thirteenth-century Scholar and Poet

It is my hope that if you have experienced a deep loss Together Forever will lead you on a journey to explore, expand, and experience your infinite potential. This book is for everyone, because at some point in our lives, if we live long enough, we all experience loss—loss of someone we cherish, adore, and love beyond what words can describe or loss of health, home, job, security, and so forth. All forms of loss have the potential for self-destruction, as well as opportunities for growth, woven into the fabric of the trauma.

This book is an exploration of life, love, and of an awakening to our true essence. It is written to awaken you to a new way of viewing what our culture calls death and what I call transition. It will help you recognize that death is the opposite of birth not the opposite of life. Life always continues for us, it just changes form. This book will introduce a new paradigm of how we can respond to loss with grace and growth, instead of pain and endless suffering. And in our response we will be led by our hearts, in coherence with our minds, to a deep and lasting journey of Self-Realization.

This is not another book on grief and how to survive loss. Rather this book speaks of love, of the deepest love. This love is real and goes beyond this physical world. There is no end to this love. Nothing can ever threaten this love. This love has no opposite, because it is based in the eternal essence of your being. If you are reading this book, it is my guess that you have this deep love connection with someone and maybe with several others. This kind of love is free, priceless, and can never be threatened.

I lost my son, Sal, when he was twenty-four, in a motorcycle accident. I wrote this book for those of us who have lost a love so all-encompassing that it feels like this loss might actually kill you or destroy the life you have left.

My sincere intention in writing this book is to offer you another way. As you travel the pages of this book, my hope is you come to know that in reality there is no death, no separation. You will realize, that through the loss of a loved one, your own heart and mind have the capacity to expand and be open to new possibilities that you never knew existed.

Every time one person chooses a new way to respond to the challenges of life, each time an individual chooses a new option, that person then becomes a living bridge for all the others who choose to follow in that person’s path.

–Gregg Braden, Scientist, Author, Lecturer

We do not have many examples of how to respond to life’s tragedies in a way that is empowering to our own well-being. In fact, in some cultures, we are expected to be depressed and in a dark place after losing a child, a spouse, or a very close loved one. In many places in the world, women are required to wear black for the rest of their lives after losing a spouse or a child. I’ll never forget, when I was twenty-two years old, backpacking through Europe and spending time on the island of Corfu in Greece, I saw many women dressed in all black clothing everyday. These women appeared tired and unhappy. I later learned the custom of widows on Corfu, they are expected by society to wear black after the loss of a husband or child, on this incredibly beautiful island with the most brilliant sunsets. What a paradox! This is an outdated tradition and can curtail ones opportunity for growth.

I would like to offer another way, a positive way of dealing with the loss. The truth that revealed itself on my journey through loss is this: there is an opportunity in every heartbreak, challenge, and loss, for a life filled with a deeper inner peace, grace, gratitude, joy, and love than ever before. As you read this book, you will discover the undeniably miracles that show up when you have the courage to accept the unacceptable.

Throughout this book I will refer to death as a transition. Because that is exactly what it is, a transition of energy—the way water can be solid ice, liquid, or vapor. Our true essence is invisible and formless, the body is our physical form. When we die our consciousness is not in that familiar body anymore; however, it is still present. It can be sensed and perceived by our awareness, but it cannot be seen by our eyes. So yes there is death of the physical body, but not of the consciousness of your loved one.

I do not claim to know the details of what happens after we leave our physical body. I know that love knows no death. I know for sure we are all connected and one with our Source. I know this because of my own direct experiences, which I will share in this book.

We are not these bodies; we’re neither our accomplishments nor our possessions—we are all one with the Source of all being, which is God.

–Anita Moorjani, Author, Teacher

My response to my son’s death was different than anything that I had witnessed before. The one thing in life that we as human beings have, that no one can take from us, is our response to what happens in life.

This is not to say that I was not devastated from Sal’s unexpected death. I was completely devastated, I was in shock, and I felt a huge void in my heart and life. Of course, I still miss the physical Sal, and I would never say it was a gift to lose my son. But, I did not lose Sal, he is with me more than ever, but in a very different way, which will be described throughout this book. As you read, it may sound that it was easy for me and that I did not feel pain. No, for me, losing a child was the greatest challenge in all of my life. What I had always considered the worst thing that could happen to me, did happen. And after all of this, my life is filled with deeper peace, love, and joy.

Long ago, I chose a lifestyle and work that would promote health and peace in my life as well as spiritual growth, I valued these more than anything else and I had a strong desire to help others. My work for the past thirty-seven years has been and continues to be in teaching meditation, yoga, health and wellness, and spirituality.

When I lost Sal, I turned to the spiritual and practical principles that I knew so well. As it turned out, following my heart and keeping my daily morning practice of meditation, yoga, expressing gratitude, and walking in nature created by default another way of dealing with grief and loss.

One of my favorite topics to teach in my classes is how science and spirituality have come together in recent years. I have attended many workshops to study with revolutionary scientists who specialize in the field, including Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, and Joe Dispenza. I have read many books that point to the evidence of life after death through the current research in quantum mechanics, particle physics, epigenetics, and the neurosciences. I have also brought these teaching to my students in my spiritual teachings classes. In this book I have not included all the new science on consciousness and brain science, but I have mentioned some studies and have included quotes from scientist, researchers, and medical doctors, wherever appropriate, to promote a clear understanding of the idea I am presenting. The topic of the union of science and spirituality is a big one and would need to be another book on its own. I have chosen to keep this book simple, yet impactful and uplifting.

I will be using the term vibrational relationship to describe the current relationship I have with Sal. The vibrational relationship is a relationship with someone who is now formless. This ability to feel and connect will be explained in Part II of this book and is interwoven throughout the book.

Throughout this book I will use the words source, infinite intelligence, presence, being, divine, self, consciousness, and unmanifested, to mean what many call God. God can be a loaded word for some and can carry lots of baggage with it. However, I will still use the word God in this book from time to time. In this book, God will never mean a white-haired man who is hanging out on a cloud, looking down on humanity to judge and punish us. When I use the word God, or any of the words I mentioned above, I will be referring to the eternal one consciousness underlying all forms of life. That which is the infinite field of all possibilities. It is all around us as well as within us. This essence cannot be described in words; it is more likely felt in meditation, prayer, and contemplation or in intense presence.

When I use the word ego or egoic mind, I am describing the condition of humans who are identified with only the body and thought forms, as who they are. The ego is never in the present moment; it only lives in thoughts of the past or future. The ego gives us a sense of separation and duality. The small self, inner critic, storyteller, and false self can all be used to describe the ego. However, we all have egos and we need our egos to maneuver in this physical reality. We just need to be careful not to place our...
