Where Do Loved Ones Go When They Die?

A woman whose father recently died says that she feels he is one with her, truly incorporated in her. She asks Rupert to describe the place where loved ones go. Rupert says that it is the heart, where our loved ones always and only exist as our shared being.

I know my husband lives on in my heart but I miss the sound of the car in the drive, the key in the lock, the cheerful voice, the reassuring hand reaching for mine when there is a noise in the night, the little smile sharing the joke and the loving, steady blue eyes that will never look into mine again in this world.

[@adriennesmith4983]

I’m sorry, Jean. Losing your life’s partner is one of the hardest things in the world! This video is beautiful, of course, but from the physical prospective, it’s a hardship to carry whole people around in your chest all the time, isn’t it? The only thing that I find makes it bearable is knowing they are happy and free. But it still hurts.💕

[@jondavid968]

I share your loss. We will always miss them. But in a way, you were separate even when you were together. Now, with out his physical presence to distract, you are spiritually connected. Even better 😉

[@stupidvideo101]

I’m so sorry Jean, I can’t imagine how hard that must be. I pray that you have found a way to sooth your aching heart. Wishing you all the very best

This is true, once I got past my grief I realized my brother is with me more now than he was in life. It's really true.

[@tracy3364]

My dad passed away at the start of lockdown from lewi body dementia ...I loved him dearly but I only realised that when he'd gone...he was a strict father sometimes unfair and we were scared of him at times but in his later years I saw his vulnerability and saw him as a child and how lost he had been himself...and I have a very deep love for him now he's gone, it's like I understand him. I do still get sad and sometimes cry but most times I picture him in my mind at home in his chair reading his paper or singing and it makes me happy

[@dayasilvia]

I feel that exact thing. It’s like right now I can understand him.

[@andybrown3016]

People’s bad behaviour is simply the ego in them. The ego isn’t good or bad it’s just unconscious. We are all simply reading from the scripts we have been given from our own conditioning. Once you truly grasp this then you can accept that nothing is ever personal. This really helps in forgiveness of people who have wronged you in life I feel. The famous line Jesus said on the cross, “Forgive them father for they know not what they do” really points towards the unconscious of human thought and activity. Spirituality teaches you that we are all the same consciousness but this is simply filtered through the conditioned ego giving us our own specific dream in this world.

I’ve been having spontaneous bursts of love in my heart and I love it .

[@MindVersusMisery]

I know the feeling. A couple of years ago I did a lot of metta bhavana meditations, and I started having the same bursts of love as you describe. One day I went out for a walk. It was a sunny day in spring, and a little bird sat in a tree singing his/her heart out in a beautiful tune. And I remember feeling with all my being that I absolutely loved the little bird, and I wanted that bird to be happy, have a good life and to be free from suffering.

[@jltdrum]

@@MindVersusMisery It warms my heart to see how blessed we all are to share a world of such boundless beauty accessible by means of the purest form of love. What's tragic nonetheless is that a vast majority of us would simply pass without ever realizing our true nature, ever able to find beauty and love in the simplest manifestations of cosmic spirit as you could.

[@rachellane2836]

My relationship with my parents has never been better since they passed. To be able to relate to them as the Truth of who they are rather than caught up with the convoluted stories and egos involved, when as a child they are all you know and understand them to be. They are not that, we are not that, and to experience this was a true and continual blessing. 🙏

Ramana Maharshi said, ""They say that I am dying, but I am not going away. Where could I go? I am here." Loved ones don't go anywhere...they are here.

[@Misslotusification]

@Harry Bagina Yes, that is out of the play of this gross dimension.

[@sophiawoods6748]

Agree I’ve seen my loved one manifest in some energy ball. It’s alive energy. It’s hard to explain but I guess it’s our awareness energy maybe? People around me say they don’t believe in life after death and one your dead that’s it. And it’s true to some degree that the body goes And ego, but there is still left an energy of awareness which is part of the Cosmo. An ever present awareness energy from from ego form and physical. It can’t really be identified as a self. But it it definitely is single energy without form. But you could say we are all this. But it’s awareness allows it to be part of the planet. Ever present awareness.

[@cosmofox]

@@sophiawoods6748 You're trying to grasp at knowing something you simply don't know (yet). It's not an "energy of awareness" that is left. What we are is an eternal soul or spirit. And it is very much a self.

I am feeling so much his message, his answer, as I did back then when I asked the question. After listening again, I am crying now, of love, gratitude and remembrance. It’s still hard sometimes when you miss somebody in its human form…But when they are no longer here, if we are sensible enough, we can notice the relationship is been upgraded. Past and future exist in the now. The person is truly felt within, where it always was from the beginning, as Rupert says. My father is a blessing in my life, and so it is Rupert. I feel so grateful he was accompanying me and my family during the transition and it could have been so peaceful. Rupert is the best friend and teacher I can imagine.

[@claireelizabethcreates]

The way you answer this Rupert is just beautiful.. shining light on a sensitive and sometimes difficult subject, thank you 🙏🏼😌

[@mikeq5807]

I told my father a couple years before he passed, up until he passed away, "You're in my heart. You will always be in my heart." Words fail me to express my love for him. Inspired by Jesus' words, and how I treasure him, it seems the best way I can say what is unsayable. "Where your treasure is, there also will be your heart." Jesus

[@janetclaireSays]

This concept that we live in each other's hearts, even while alive on Earth, explains my current peace with my adult children being so far away from me geographically. For so long I felt a raw, painful separation in our distance, especially immediately following a visit with them. But more recently I've felt a sense of connection to them that transcends our physical distance and I've been at peace. I'm not sure if I came to this realization due to living through the pandemic, which made it impossible for us to be together for a long stretch of time, or if I have come to it on my own through meditation and focusing on spirituality.

When you have a toxic narcissistic parent, you don't have that parent in your heart but you are trying to keep a massive distance just to heal yourself from constant abuse. My grandamother died longer time ago and I don't have her in my heart at all, I didn't like her and had no emotional connection to her whatsoever as she had abused my mother who passed that on me. I didn't feel sad when she died, I didn't think of her, I don't have any dreams of her so she is not even in my subconscious like for example grandparents from my father side which I really liked. I had many dreams about those. So it depends on people and how you developed you love for them.

God has created the drama of ...Distance, death, devastation, disease and distasters as some sureshot ways to open up our hearts....as reminders of immortality n all that is transient. Distance opened up that heart space for me for my living parents...to forgive n heal... But what if we lived n loved as if it was the last day of our lives? Would that change the quality of our existence? Does it really matter though, if we all will find our loved ones in our heart one day anyway...why make the effort?

That's an interesting question and can totally see where that would come from. Their behaviour and "ego" on earth may have been a destructive fuel to you and when you picture them you can see that and you are glad that toxicity is gone. But the person behind that ego driven behaviour is the real essence and perhaps one you could not see or connect to. I can only wonder if understanding what brought them to a place of becoming that way and thus realising at some point they were born as an innocent baby and were once a victim of some pain themselves. If you can hold an image in your mind of them as a baby and release the image of the destructive qualities, it may help to disassociate the strong ego they carried and reveal the real love source underneath.

It seemed people in comment section are misunderstanding this idea of Love, which is unity and without time and space. The talks about NDE, soul going to astral places and what not, is still the illusion and is not what addressed in the talk. Love which is formless, purposeless and just IS.

[@cosmofox]

No, the NDE and the soul is not "illusion." And they do not go to an "astral" place. They go to the realm of pure spirit which is very real. You pretend to know, but you do not.

[@of8ightandse7en16]

​@@cosmofox It depends on the context. Like we think we are real but in Reality, we are illusion. so reincarnation and souls going into dimensions is an illusion in that sense. And it's not what I'd said. Ramana said same thing. Chogyam trungpa said same thing. Only that Absolute reality is real. That realm of pure spirit you said is still some dimensions which is still the realm of the unenlightened. Now all of those above is in context of what Rupert said. If people die and simply enter realm of Pure spirit, what's the point of self realization or enlightenment. We might as well commit suicide now and be in that realm rather than suffering as human. With that I don't mean there's no NDE nor souls going different dimensions. It's just that like our human existence, there're all ultimately interdependent and thus has no real existence, thus an illusion, or still in Samsara. Rumi wrote alot on Love, in which in it there's no separation. Rupert's point is that, when we truly know Love, we feel as if we are one with everything including our passed loved ones which is what alot people experience in meditation, that Oneness without time and space. But people are talking about going into different dimensions and stuff which is not the point here. It's as if Ramana's "soul" is still in this realm in order for him to say "i am not going away". It's not in that sense. In ultimate sense, Ramana as a person never existed but projection of our ego. He's not going away because like Rupert always said, that "God" is always and ever here. Because Love is the only real thing and everything.

[@cosmofox]

@@of8ightandse7en16 We are not illusion. You are completely wrong in your paradigm. I don't give a shit what Ramana or Chogyam said. The spirit is real.

The brain is still active and functional for quite some time after death. This really casts doubt on the validity of these things. The experience did happen because the brain was still functioning but it doesn’t add any validity to the idea of life after death.

@@andybrown3016 It's not the brain. There is no evidence whatsoever that it's the brain creating it. The only way you can utter this reactive retort is that you have no researched the tremendous experiences they report. Saying "the brain did it" is pathetic. You know nothing about it.

@@cosmofox very strange that you attacked me personally over such an innocuous comment. And you accuse me of being “reactive”. The ego thrives on reactivity especially when somebody else offers an opinion that contradicts what they believe. You obviously have an awful lot invested in your opinion. And unfortunately you don’t know anything about it either no matter how much you have researched. You just have an opinion. Which I consider at best misinformed and at worst downright stupid

@@andybrown3016 I mean that you give the kneejerk "brain" explanation. I do know directly about NDE. You've no idea what you speak. Another clever intellectual trying to dismiss things beyond your ken. And exactly how did I "attack" you personally? I just said you don't know. So what. I have a lot "invested" in calling BS on all the pretentious advaita intellectuals here who have little experience but pretend to know "the ultimate truth" front to back.

[@andybrown3016]

@@cosmofox calling me pathetic is pretty personal is it not? My opinion is different to yours. All NDE’s are based on stories and recollections and unfortunately they are not facts. I would very much like to believe what you say because no doubt knowing that life continues after death would alleviate this existential fear that we all carry with us as embodied living entities. So I would be very happy to be wrong in this disagreement.

Er….I’d love to say I understand this but my heart is a physical object pumping blood around my body. Where’s this other heart where I can store dead loved ones?

[@billdarte2971]

If in death we return to our true nature, which we seek. And if the separate self is the source of our suffering...then why would people not seek suicide as the shortcut? I try to find some teaching related to this. Why do people endure their lives especially if they know their true nature?

[@andybrown3016]

Within Buddhism and Hinduism there is something called Mahasamadhi whereby a fully enlightened person decides to die and leave their body. I’m highly sceptical this is actually possible but nonetheless it has been documented and is a prominent feature in Yogic and Hindu culture.

Because the soul is ever striving for higher realms. Yes, death is a release and gives us a chance to rest a while, but it is a mistake to think you instantly enter into your Christhood (or whatever you prefer to call it) upon death. No, so-called death is just a continuation of the dream of separation . We imagined it; we have to heal it. And when we finally do so, there are always higher realms to aspire to. The Earth school is has an accelerated curriculum! It’s harder here than on the other side; more intense. But this is where the action is. This is the place that challenges us so we can really know ourselves. The soul knows this.

@@andybrown3016 of course it is true. Do you think Crucifixion killed Jesus? I know we were given that impression, but it definitely did not. He chose the moment. So much damage has been done to humanity by the misrepresentation of the life, teachings and death of Jesus. The message of the cross (well, one of the messages) is, “Watch this! NOBODY can kill a Son of God!” When the rest of us know what Jesus discovered, that The Father and I Are One; and I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me, then we’ll all be walking on water! And when our time to go arrives, we will gently lay aside the body and move on. The Crucifixion was an extreme, courageous, outrageous act of Faith. It tells us we can do ANYTHING when we learn to fully trust in God. One man, through relentless pursuit of God, totally found Him. And since we all share in a collective mind, Jesus’ real-ization entered into every mind. This is what made him the Saviour. This is why salvation is a done deal! Somewhere in our minds, we have the way through to God because of One Solitary Life. We can believe this, or we can believe in a blood-thirsty Creator with a warped sense of justice. I know this is a shocking idea in the mainstream. Just let it simmer, friend.
