Lesson

Charles: Greetings my friends, this is Charles. With so much talk about traveling down memory lane this morning, I would like to speak for a moment about what was touched on as to what survives throughout the mortal experience. Many are concerned that the experiences of their lives are somehow altogether lost as a result of their transition into the spiritual realm but I would like to assure you that those aspects of relationship, those aspects of growth and meaningful experience are all taken in and become part of you as your resource, as your data base, as the sum total of your experiences. So those special journeys that you took, while you may not take with you the locations that you visited, you will always have with you the sense that you experienced when on your journey, the impact that seeing new and different places had on you. The growth that was brought forward throughout this process is imprinted and registered forever. The people that you met along the way and who made an impression on your life go with you throughout the process. There will always be ability to recognize the characteristics of the individual in an eternal sense.

You have all speculated after reading your Urantia Book that you would have an opportunity one day to greet again those who have gone before you in the process. You have been told that you will recognize these individuals by their energy signature and this is quite true. Each and every one of you has an energy signature as a result of all that you have accumulated, of a sum total of your experiences represented in your energy signature. This you will carry with you always as will all the others around you. So while you are in the process of gathering to yourselves in this mortal life, all these fleeting moments of experience and assembling them into some semblance of reality, I assure you that nothing of value will be truly lost. There is, as there usually is, a silver lining to the cloud of passing from your mortal life into your more spiritual life and that is that there is a place for all that you take with you, it is your soul. It is your rack for carrying with you all that is valuable, all that is worthy of the journey into the next phase.

This is a source of great comfort, whether it is to you here and now or upon your awakening after transition, this awareness that all is not lost, in fact, all that was worthy was gathered to you and that this was your task, this was your joy in life, to gather to you all that you consider worthy and to build around you all the things which you think are true, good and beautiful and all this work of your seeking and finding and gathering and associating yourself and building your foundation, this constitutes who you are, this is represented by your energy signature. This is a thing of permanence, this is an eternal thing that you build and that you take with you and that survives through many a transition. These are the images of your lives, the experience of your lives, the growth that is represented throughout. You take these which are permanent with you.

Closing

So I throw my two cents into the conversation about photo albums and journals and ways in which we count the journey and document the experience. These ways are so valuable to give a sense of perspective, where you have been, where you are going and I hope it brings you some sense of peace that nothing of value will truly be lost. I leave you with that thought and wish you all a good week before you, thank you.
