There have been numerous inquiries about this subject, which I shall attempt to answer here.

As a starting point, let me explain that when a person passes from this life to the next there is no appreciable difference in either his personality or his surroundings from that which he had in this life. He is the same individual soul surviving in an Earthlike atmosphere, albeit at a higher level of vibration. He has the same hopes, the same fears, and the same emotional traits he had at the time he passed. God is pure, unconditional Love, but man is not yet God--he must evolve spiritually to achieve the status of being One with the Creator.

For example, the question: "I was married twice, and loved both my husbands dearly. What will happen when I die and go to the afterlife? Will I be with one, or both of them? Will there be jealousy?"

The answer: If either or both of these former husbands were jealous by nature on earth, they will most certainly carry that trait with them into the afterlife. One does not immediately achieve sainthood merely as a result of dying. In the afterlife the same problems that were faced here will have to be dealt with there.

There is a bright side, however. Each person has another half, better described as a soulmate. We don't always meet our own soulmates in this life, and through need of a partner will fall in love with, and marry a person we feel is nearest to this ideal. Many who have not met their soulmates on earth will find them in the afterlife, through the Law of Attraction. Let us say that the woman who asked the above question had found her soulmate in the first husband. When he died, she knew she could never replace him, but because of human need, marries another. When she meets both again in the afterlife, she will be drawn to her twin soul, and the second husband will have to step aside. The happy ending to this affair would be that the second husband's own soulmate is standing in the wings, or perhaps has already been joined with him.

If neither husband is the ideal, the three will have to work it out as best they can, until the "real thing" comes along.

There is also the matter of loving more than one person, but each on a different level and in a different way. There are many aspects of love, and one can love innumerable people for any one of them. It is only when all the criteria of love are met in a single person that the true soulmate is found. I believe that one knows or will know without a doubt when this happens.
