Christina Rasmussen - Where Did You Go?

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

NIELS BOHR, NOBEL PRIZEWINNING PHYSICIST

I t can be difficult to believe in the afterlife if we havent had our own direct encounters with that world. All were really left with are mere descriptions of it, based on two-thousand-year-old religious texts that may feel far removed from our modern world, or accounts of mystical journeys that seem to happen to just a special few. For many of us, without that direct evidence of where our loved ones have gone, our minds are unable to grasp the possibility of a world we cannot see, of a world beyond this one. Our resistance to an expanded awareness is reinforced by what seems like sciences privileging of the empirical above all else: the world is three-dimensional, and nothing exists beyond it.

But the fact is, the essence of who we are, our individual consciousness, continues after death. There is indeed a world beyond this one. Its hidden. Our loved ones have gone there, and we can, too. Without dying. We can access it, regardless of our religious beliefs or lack of any mystical abilities.

This guidebook will help you experience it. It will break down the science about life after life in accessible language that will allow you to believe in the continuation of consciousness. It will help you believe that the people weve loved and lost arent gone. Theyre part of the hidden reality that we, too, are a part of, just not aware of it.

Im hoping this book will change the way you grieve and the way you come back to life after loss. I believe if you knew that death was not the end for the person you lost you would live your life more fully. With zest. With boldness. Yes, you would still miss that person and mourn the loss, but the knowledge that you can connect with their consciousness would make your journey back to living life fully a little easier. And if you havent lost someone you love, but have a fear of dying or are curious about what comes next so you can live to your true potential, this book is also for you.

When a loved one dies, we can open a door between this world and the next. It only closes when we dont look for it, when we dont observe it, and when we dont believe its there. When we walk through this door, we go on a journey to an invisible place. I have named that place the Temple World.

Typically, in the weeks and months following the death of our beloveds, were too emotionally distraught to step through that door in our consciousness. After, when we reclaim our lives and come back to an everyday routine, we doubt that world exists. Even if were religious, I believe there can be doubt. We want to believe and have faith in that worldboth to know that our loved ones are okay, and that we, too, will be okay after we diebut our logical brain fights that.

Our logical brain exists and operates in the third dimensionthe dimension youre experiencing right nowand shuts down anything beyond it. But once you have gathered your strength after a loss and allowed life back into your everyday routine, the Temple World is there waiting for you to observe it, to consciously be part of it. I know youve sensed this world after losing your loved onemaybe you felt your loved ones hand on your shoulder, heard soothing words in your mind, or even saw that person for a brief moment.

I wrote this book to help you find the door to the Temple World and give yourself permission to look for it, observe it, and bring it into your reality. The door to this world is right here next to you; its anywhere youre able to close your eyes and tap into the hidden reality I will introduce you to. I know your brain will try to tell you there is no other world. But once you can guide it to that world, youll be led to a place you can be a part of every single day if you wish. Once there, youll meet with the people you lost and experience a sense of joy and peace. You will also feel a sense of wholeness and unity with the bigger cosmos that leaves you speechless. I want to help you find your footing there and assist you in taking one step farther in your life after loss. I call this step the Temple Journey.

As youre doing the exercises of this book, youll likely find that you feel part human, part something elsewhich is your true essence, without the confines of your body. And it will feel uncomfortable at first. Im going to help you get used to that. My goal is that when you get to the last page of this book, you will feel that its normal to talk to the people you lost and to connect with the hidden invisible world that exists all around you. And because youll be the one taking the journey and connecting directly with your loved onesnot receiving information through a psychic or a mediumyou might just gather enough proof and develop a strong enough sense of knowing to deeply believe that death isnt the end and the people you lost are only a dimension away. I wouldnt ask you to go anywhere I havent been myself. I had to find tools and methods of seeing the invisible world without having the gift. But Ive discovered that we all have the gift of consciousness and we all can tap into a heightened awareness that can serve in nearly the same way.

As you have gathered by now, the purpose of this book is not to analyze visions of ghosts or discuss mediums who transmit messages from another dimension. While I appreciate their powers, and the experiences those powers open to them, this book is about our experiencesyours and mine, everyday people. This book is about giving you permission to believe in your own abilities. Its about experiencing life beyond our physical reality, beyond the 3-D world thats only a tiny part of what we call reality. Its for those of us who wish to make journeying beyond our physical reality an everyday experiencenormal, natural, and not at all scary. Visiting nonphysical realms is actually natural, rather than supernatural. Those visits are so full of healing, immense peace, awe, and deepened intuition that you begin to understand life and death a little better. Access to that understanding and that seemingly invisible world is our birthright.

I am inviting you to come along on this journey with me. Say yes to revealing an unseen energetic layer that surrounds us, that were actually a part of. Our soul yearns to witness and experience this nonphysical layer, not only for us to fully heal, but also to make the absolute most of our lives.

How to Use This Book

This book is set up so you read a new chapter each week, in chronological order. With the exception of the in this book), takes you on the crossing into the Temple World, where youll find the person youve lost and/or those who come to help guide you.

Youll take each chapters journey for ten minutes or so a day every day for one week. If you need to spend an extra week on a particular journey, thats fine. However, I dont recommend you spend less than one week on each journeyyoull need that time to trust in your experience. On these journeys, youll gain knowledge about the universe, energy, light, and your own consciousness. Each journey will expand your awareness and change your life in your day-to-day world. And if you wish to read the whole book in one go, thats okay too. Just rest when you need to. And pace yourself.

Youll also have the choice to journey with a group of people who are all reading the book together. In the section as well.

As you go farther on the Temple Journey youll begin to understand that our physical existence on Earth is only one part of who we are. Youll experience what we know as time in an entirely new way. Einstein proved that time is relative, not absolute. Past, present, and future occur simultaneously. Within the Temple World, the construct of time doesnt exist. To imagine what thats like, just think how a smell or a song can transport you right to a specific moment in time. Many of the students Ive taken on this journey have seen events in their current life through a different filtermore perceptive, detached, lovingthat offers greater understanding of an event. Some see future events in great detail, which often gives them an understanding to better navigate the present in their day-to-day lives.
