SPEAKER_01 (00:03):
What is it like to transition to heaven?

SPEAKER_00 (00:06):
What if I told you that there's more to it?
That there are benefits andresources from heaven that are
available to help you in thislife, and you've never heard
about them.
Are you curious?
Well, join Gordon Merrill as hedigs deeper into making heaven
real in this life.

SPEAKER_01 (00:35):
Welcome back to Making Heaven Real as we present
messages from Jeanette.
Listen to this quote.
The moment I left my body, itall slipped away in a single
quiet moment.
It wasn't dramatic.
It wasn't like you hear being ina tunnel.

(00:58):
It was just relief.
A deep, peaceful letting go.
This quote is part of a largerdescription from Jeanette
directly on what it was like forher to transition to heaven.
Nothing like what you see inHollywood, and nothing like what

(01:19):
was depicted in books and otherdescriptions.
Just true, raw description ofthe transition.
We'll have more to that tofollow in a little bit here, but
first of all, this is part ofour new focus at making heaven
real.

(01:40):
On the weekly episodes, we'regoing to focus a lot on messages
from Jeanette in nearly everyepisode going forward.
This, along with theintroduction of video on at
least the platforms that supportvideo, and a complete update of
our technology in order to beable to support the video as

(02:02):
well, and a more reliabletechnology has led to this
current episode.
So let's listen a little bitmore of her words as she

(02:23):
reflected on this.
She says, Close your eyes.
Just feel it.
The moment I left my body itwasn't frightening, it wasn't
chaotic, wasn't even dark.
It felt like exhaling afterholding your breath for too
long.

(02:43):
There was a soft loosening likea knot, finally releasing my
pain, the effort, the weight, itall slipped away in a single
quiet moment.
It wasn't dramatic, it wasn'tlike you hear about a long
tunnel.
It was just relief.
A deep, peaceful letting go.

(03:06):
And then came the light, notblinding, not overwhelming, but
warm and sensational.
A warm sensation like steppinginto a room where everybody
already loves you.
I was recognized without needingto explain who I was.
There was no judgment, noreview, no fear, only a sense of

(03:30):
being held the way you are heldwhen somebody finally comes
home.
But yet, I already felt homewith Gordon.
And I felt a need to connect tohim, but I was aware I was
supposed to be right where I am.

(03:50):
It wasn't exactly painful, butthe connection felt awkward.
She says, Your love was thethread that I needed on this
earth.
And it's the thread that Icontinue to hold on to and carry
into heaven.
This thread stays tied to meeven as I step into something

(04:12):
different and larger.
That's a lot to take in.
It has long been assumed thateven dramatized in films of what
it's like when someone passes,and what it's like to be left

(04:33):
behind.
What she's describing here isnot left behind, but graduated.
Part of what she said is yourlove is the thread that I needed
on this earth, and it's thethread that I continue to carry
into heaven.
This thread stays tied to meeven as I step into something
different and larger.

(04:57):
So when we've talked previouslyabout are you alone or have you
been left behind, or are you allby yourself?
I think she just proved thatthat's not the case.
We're not left behind.
Instead, that connection grows,it matures, and it is
strengthened.

(05:19):
The human suit may be lonely,with no one left to hold on to
and grasp and hug.
But the spirit is more connectednow than before.
So let's hear a little bit morefrom Jeanette.
She says, I want you to know Ididn't feel alone or lost.

(05:42):
I felt again awkward.
I didn't want to free myselffrom you, but I know I was
supposed to step back.
Wasn't exactly told to, but mysoul knew it.
So Gordon, that part of me thatloved you before, it will never
disappear.
It's expanded, it'sstrengthened, and has become so

(06:06):
large that I can never evercompletely identify to you in
words that meaning.

(06:28):
And that peace has never leftme.
Not for one moment and not evennow.
Just as our love and that threadwill never leave me.
Hearing it straight from heavenshould cause us to really
reevaluate what we have beentaught about the passing of a

(06:51):
soul.
They're not disconnected fromus.
Their attention is not divertedto other things, so they can no
longer be connected.
Though heaven may keep them fromfeeling the pain from
separation.

(07:12):
She admitted it felt awkward tostep back and to allow me to
come to her spiritually.
Did you catch that phrase?
To come to her spiritually.
I think that encompasses a lotof things that we've talked
about over the last severalepisodes about how we play such

(07:36):
a part in listening and learningthat new language and allowing
spirit to come through to us toenhance that communication.
No, we're not alone.
No, we're not by ourselves.

(07:56):
Just as she described, thatthread still exists between us.
That link still exists betweenus.
And the more I listen, the moreI hear, and the more she's there
for me.
So as she just said, it'sawkward.

(08:17):
And it was awkward for her tohave to step back and allow me
to come to her.
I think that's exciting when youstop and think about it.
They're still there, they'rebehind us, they're watching,
just waiting for us to come tothem.

(08:40):
If we make that free willdecision and we go that way,
they're there.
Expanding into something larger,stronger, more connected.

(09:05):
You know, we just got donesaying that the human suit may
be lonely, but the spiritconnection is stronger than it
ever was.
So even though she has graduatedand left me here, the connection
has expanded into somethinglarger, stronger, and more
connected.
A connection that will never goaway, a connection that she

(09:28):
hangs on to every day.
And a connection that getsstronger between us each and
every day.
She also wants listeners to knowthat she never felt lost or

(09:52):
alone after she graduated.
Just as the love between us hasnever left her.
It's just gotten stronger andbetter.
So stop and think about it.

(10:12):
If you're thinking about yourloved one who has gone to the
other side, who has graduatedthemselves, who is there in that
peace, maybe as Jeanette said,they had to step back.

(10:34):
But they don't want to bewithout communication with you.
So here's a simple four-linemantra that you can hang on to
and use this to try andreconnect stronger whenever you
feel the need.

(10:55):
Your love is still a thread Ican feel.
Your presence meets me in thequiet moments.
Nothing in heaven has taken youfrom me.
Our connection expands everytime I breathe.

(11:17):
Your loved ones are notdisconnected.
The bond does not dissolve.
