In this podcast episode, Thomas the Mystic and Lisa Wetsel explore deep and challenging questions about spirituality, God, and the nature of existence with guidance from the Akashic Records. They engage in a candid and honest conversation, touching on various aspects of belief systems and spiritual understanding. Purpose of Human Existence: They discuss the purpose of human existence, with the Akashic Records emphasizing that human life serves to facilitate the growth of the soul and its connection to universal consciousness. The Honest Atheist: Thomas and Lisa express appreciation for atheists who honestly express their doubts about the existence of God, acknowledging that such individuals are being truthful about their beliefs. Lack of Evidence for God's Existence: They question why there seems to be a lack of concrete evidence for God's existence, with the Akashic Records emphasizing that evidence exists in everyday miracles and experiences, encouraging a shift in perspective to recognize these miracles. What Happens After Death: The Akashic Records explain that after death, the soul transitions into an energetic body and returns to the universal consciousness, but it may carry on connections from its previous life if the proper disconnection doesn't occur. Does Love Carry Over: Thomas and Lisa inquire whether the love experienced in life carries over to the afterlife, with the Akashic Records explaining that it can, but not in the same way, as it primarily involves soul relationships. Why There Is Pain and Suffering: They ask why there is pain and suffering in the world, to which the Akashic Records respond that suffering is a human construct based on one's perception, and it is meant to be part of the human experience for growth and learning. Logic of Eternal Punishment: Thomas questions the logic behind eternal punishment for finite transgressions, and the Akashic Records clarify that there is no eternal punishment and human perceptions of hell are not aligned with their true nature. Existence of Heaven: They inquire about the existence of heaven, and the Akashic Records explain that heaven is within each individual and is a reflection of the soul's connection to the universal consciousness. Religion's Role in Division and Conflict: Thomas raises concerns about religion being a source of division, conflict, and violence throughout history. The Akashic Records suggest that this is a result of human misinterpretations and manipulations of spiritual teachings. A Closing Message from the Guides: The Akashic Records offer a message of love and unity, emphasizing that all of creation is interconnected and discrimination among created beings is not their intention. ~~ Do you want to be a guest on Mystical Lodge Radio or inquire about a personal reading?
