I don't get much response. Not that surprising, really, because I don't write about topics that are actually controversial. I might ruffle a few feathers in the LDS community with some stuff, but nothing bad. My stats look reasonable, and I have some more popular bloggers linking to me, so I figure there are some people, who actually at least start reading... I don't really know how much time they spend reading any one page. --velska Thanks, Graden. I don’t get much response.

For some reason we need different experiences. I just know that physical death is not the end.

I've seen, most clearly dozens of them, some relatives, some strangers (for a purpose of genealogy help for others), some in the temple....some of them in my own home....and some of them relatives or friends of people I've been photographing (electronic magnetic field imaging). I KNOW they are still "alive" and basically...the "same" personality / person. All those experiences were for a purpose and something to do with help / assistance / charity / support / messages of importance to the progression of that person who was mortal who was being visited. It gives me great comfort to know we KEEP living after we leave the carnal / clay body that was for a time period of learning and experiencing as well as testing and trials. Mortality is such a "blink" of our eyes. And yet, so vital / indespensible / absolutely necessary in being the ONLY way to become like Christ....advance in our progression...and ALL the things we've been told mortality is for...and it's all for our GOOD. Our happiness depends upon this probation, tough as it is. The restored gospel..and all it's plan is all very, very true.
