Living Beyond Fear By Tobie Hewitt

Beyond the fear of current world and national events, the fear of death is probably the biggest fear we experience. There are many unknowns right now, but the unknown pertaining to what happens to us after our final breath on this plane is the one that seems to plague the incarnate more than anything else.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” He was a French Jesuit, Catholic priest, scientist, paleontologist, theologian, philosopher, and teacher. A scientist and, I believe, a mystic, he was able to understand the basis of our existence as both physical and spiritual beings on this planet. I tend to paraphrase this quote as: “we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.” And I know that after this physical experience, we return to our true home, the plane of spirit.

I know this to be true because as a medium, clairvoyant, and creative mystic, I have received verifiable messages from those on the other side of the veil. I know there is no death and there are no dead. In reading after reading, I have received the names and detailed physical life information to share with their loved ones across the table from me, who are often brought to tears of joy to realize their loved ones are not gone from them and instead are nearby.

This information helps to alleviate some of the fear associated with the transition known as death. But being on the physical plane comes with its own array of fears: fear of isolation, of harm, of hunger, of natural disasters brought on by climate change, and many others. Knowing that we are in reality spirits can change our relationship with these fears and inspire us to reach out to the other spirits around us having a physical experience with us and work to assuage their fears by maintaining a sense of empathy and compassion toward each other. 

At times, especially at this trying time of widely differing messages flooding the media every day, it can be difficult to remember that no matter what, we are indeed spirits having a physical experience and our spirits are eternal. Beyond this, it is interesting to note that all this turmoil is being created as a juxtaposition to the widening awareness of the spiritual plane and the opening of that plane as a part of our existence on this one. In other words, we are living in a growing shift between those who are currently bound in their awareness to the physical world, and those who are being opened to a spiritual awakening happening as we grow into the Aquarian age, which is marked by increased use of our intuition and a growing sense of harmony and understanding with those around us. 

In that, those of us who are aware of this shift can develop a strong sense of cooperation and camaraderie as we try to overcome the damage done to our planet and each other. In families, classrooms, and boardrooms, we can use our recognition of all of us existing here as spirits having a physical experience, to change our perspectives of our relationships and work together for the greater good of each other and the planet.
