The Source

What it might be like on the other side.

Through dreams, meditations and psychedelic journeys, I’ve gotten a sense of where we go after we die. We transition as energy bundles with differing vibrational frequencies, ultimately returning to the Source. This Source is comparable to Carl Jung’s collective unconscious, the repository of all thoughts, memories, experiences, and dreams of human and non-human civilizations.

Moving in the Source feels like being fully lucid in a vivid dream. The Source is immense, encompassing countless terrains, landscapes, and a multitude of conscious beings. It’s neither night nor day here. The light is unlike anything on Earth; soft, dreamlike, with a rosy, peachy hue, like an endless twilight. The light here reminds me of some place I knew very well. It’s the light of a long time ago somewhere far far away. The light of my true home perhaps? A gentler feeling pervades this place. Within the Source, we’re in harmony with all creation and our Creator — we finally release our striving, and we surrender. A sweet sadness overcomes us, to which we finally succumb. We allow ourselves to dissolve, merging with nothingness and everythingness.

The wisdom traditions and ancient mystery schools have long known about the existence of the Source. There are other names for it: the afterlife, the quantum plenum, the cosmic soup, the ethereal plane, the waveless sea, the tenth dimension, the akashic field, the quantum or unified field, the bardo, the netherworld, the underworld, heaven, hell, the Garden of Eden, the celestial realms.

The Source is infinite, and we will not feel bored in it as we can explore any state of existence or consciousness that we desire, much like in a dream. We have limitless options. As Jesus purportedly said, “My Father’s house has many mansions”. We can play out being a celebrity, someone living in the midst of war, an animal, a plant, or an inanimate object. Our existence could even extend to being an image in a dream, a line in a novel, a stanza of a poem, or a melody. Yes, we can briefly be any of these things, and many others. Within the Source, we can access an unlimited number of “realities” or scenarios.

Within the Source, all things are impermanent, constantly shifting and changing, yet the Source itself persists for eternity. Having adjusted to life within the Source, we find serenity knowing that everything is a fleeting performance, constantly recycled and transformed. This implies the reversibility of all disabilities, tragedies, losses, deaths, and separations. It also implies the ability to perpetually revisit joyful occurrences. While unpleasant aspects of the Source are transient, pleasant ones can be sustained indefinitely with the right approach. All sentient life, on this planet and others, depend on the Source; it sustains everything.

“What are some experiences I might have in the Source?” I asked. Here’s what I heard:

• You can feel loved and love completely without the obstacles presently experienced in your material form.

  
  

• You can be fully connected with everyone, everything and every place.

  
  

• You can exit outside of time and space.

  
  

• You can enjoy absolute solitude without loneliness or fear.

  
  

• You can experience all the lives in the world — past, present and future, animal, vegetable, and mineral — for all eternity, so you’ll never have to experience regret or wonder what it’s like to be anyone or anything other than “you”.

  
  

• You will receive no more messages, no more insights. You will be still and at ease in the dark, quiet, stillness.

Nobody gets out alive, but nobody leaves. We all slink back into the primordial soup, the waveless sea. If you’re an explorer of non-ordinary states of consciousness, you’ve probably already dipped your toes into the Source. Anything is possible here. The Source will be my afterlife. It’s where my individual spirit will merge with the universal soul, and where I will finally be at peace. I feel like I know this. But maybe I am wrong.
