SPEAKER_01 (00:02):
Do you know that your loved one thrives in heaven
through your existence?

SPEAKER_00 (00:08):
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 (00:34):
Welcome back to Making Heaven Real.
And messages from Jeanette.
This time Jeanette says, You'renot here to live half your life.
You're here to feel it.
We want you out there having allkinds of experiences, trying new

(00:54):
things.
She's talking about laughing outloud, get serious, make memories
that crack your heart wide open.
That you know that you arealive, really, really, really
alive.
She's saying that we thrivethrough your existence.

(01:16):
Every adventure that you takelights us up.
I get the spark of wonder andjoy from you.
We feel it through you.
There are times when we wonderwhat's going on and how they

(01:38):
think about us and how they knowus, and you know, way up there
beyond the clouds, as we thinkof it here on the human plane
about heaven, which we're goingto find out later from her, is
wrong.
We wonder about that.
It would seem Jeanette's beenlistening to all of our
episodes, doesn't it?

(02:00):
Well, in reality, the key pointsand topics for the episodes are
from her in heaven anyway.
But did you listen to what shesaid?
They thrive through ourexistence.
We feel it through you.
This majority, majorly dispelsany thoughts of being alone.

(02:25):
Or any questions of do they knowwhat we're doing?
Do they know we're down here?
Do they still love us?
Are they a part of our lives?
Definitely dispels any conceptof what you hear from grief
counselors that you need toforget that part of you that
died with them.
Move on, create a new life.

(02:48):
Well, our love and relationshipwith them spiritually did not
die with them.
Jeanette just confirmed that.
We have a life to finish living.
We're still connected by thecord that you described last
week.
And they hold that cord and thatlove very close.

(03:11):
Even so, they want us to notstop living, but to live out
loud, experience and enjoy lifefully for us and them.
I read not too long ago,somebody described it as spirits
waiting to come to earth for thehuman experience.

(03:34):
Kind of described a little bitlike a ball team, with some on
the field playing and then someothers on the bench.
But let me clarify that a littlebit more because if you're quote
on the bench in heaven, you'renot just sitting there waiting
for the next play.
The ones on the bench in heavenare working absolutely as hard

(03:55):
as we are, in some cases,probably more so.
To help us, to guide us, to leadus, to take care of things for
us, to run interference for somesituations that could come up if
we allow them to do that.
Jeanette goes on to say that shefeels like it's her mission to

(04:17):
let people know exactly howexciting it is in heaven.
But also from heaven'sperspective, she emphasizes that
she's coming from the collectiveperspective of what they want
for us in our continuing humanexperience.

(04:38):
We literally expand with you andcelebrate, she says.
We're living through youvicariously, so don't wait for
permission or for the perfecttiming for anything.
Just go for it.
And take them with you.
She's saying, go live your lifethe way you want it and make it

(04:58):
the way you need it to be.
But live.
She's saying that she wants tohelp us understand what it feels
like in heaven.
And she's saying it's likestanding on the edge of a
sunrise and feeling the warmth.
We don't have human suits theway you do in the physical.

(05:19):
So when you taste somethingamazing or delicious, or you
laugh so hard that your ribs areaching, we feel the vibrations
or essence of it.
And that again helps us toexpand.
We're literally growing withyou.
So she says, living through youis like catching the fragrance

(05:43):
of perfume in the physicalrealm.
The sweet smell.
We can't hold the cup of coffee,but we can feel the warmth of
it.
We can feel the joy movingthrough your cells when you
dance the dance of fully living.

(06:03):
We're not taking energy fromyou.
We're thriving with you.
Your experience ripples outward.
And we ride those waves likemusic.
We love every moment of it sothat we cherish the time we have
together.
She says, When I went to heaven,I slipped out of the physical

(06:24):
body or slipped out of the humansuit, and it was like taking off
a heavy coat.
I didn't even know I waswearing.
There's no ache or weight, nolimits, just pure awareness
instead of muscle, movementinstead of matter.
I'm not confined to it anymore.

(06:47):
I did not have any hunger,tiredness, pain, just presence
and connection.
Listening to all of that makesit sound so interesting compared
to what we've been told after adevastating loss and grief.

(07:11):
Rather withdrawing from theloss.
She's encouraging listeners toengage in life fully, embrace
adventure, create memories, andcontinue nurturing their bond
with that special person who haspassed.

(07:31):
Rather moving on from lovedones, her message encourages
moving forward with them,carrying their love into our new
experiences as we go.
According to Jeanette, heavencelebrates our experiences,
feels the shimmer of our joythrough that enduring forever

(07:54):
love connection.
Jeanette goes on to say, I havethe ability to go anywhere that
your attention goes.
Or my soul feels the urge totravel.
My being is my spirit body.
The physical world becomessomething we can touch through

(08:16):
vibration rather than hands.
We're still interconnected, soyour experiences become our
experiences.
We don't feel less without abody, we feel expanded.
But when you live fully, we feelshimmer of it and the joy of it,

(08:36):
and the joy that we all adore.
I think one of the things that Iloved most about our time
together when she was on earthwith me was anything we did, no
matter how small, insignificant,became absolutely wonderful

(08:57):
because she was there.
What she has shown us today isshe is still there.
We made a point at least once aweek to have a date night.
Spoiler alert, you still can.
A week or so ago I took a scenictrain ride through the

(09:18):
mountains.
She loved trains, and so did I.
As a part of this week'smessage, she discussed how she
had such a good time on thattrain ride with me.
As she said, she felt theshimmer and the joy of the
outing because I was livingfully.

(09:40):
Find some place to go with yourspouse or loved one.
Some place they wanted to gowith you and may not have been
able to yet.
And go.
Take them with you.
Have fun with them.
And by all means, take them on adate.

(10:03):
I think one thing that I'vefound out over the last couple
years that's really fun for meis when she was here to talk to
her, I had to speak.
And people around would hearwhat I'm saying.
I think the thing that's sointeresting about this

(10:25):
relationship now is I don't haveto speak out loud.
She hears my thoughts.
So when I'm on this train ride,sitting in this seat all by
myself, surrounded by a bunch ofother people, she and I are
carrying on a conversation andno one else is hearing it.

(10:47):
In some ways, it almost seemslike our spirit-to-spirit
communication and ourspirit-to-spirit bond is closer
now than it was when we wereboth in human suits and we both
had to talk.
Just a thought to put in theback of your mind and consider
this week.
When you're at the point ofwanting to engage with them

(11:09):
fully or take them with you on aspecial outing, here's a quick
mantra that you can use.
When I live fully, our lovelives fully.
Our connection remains constant,strong, and everlasting.

(11:34):
And together we continue tocelebrate the gift of life and
love.
Here's a thought.

(11:56):
Didn't hear much from spirit.
Family members, friends,neighbors, co-workers were
hiding, not available.
Well now the tables have turned.
Remember how she was waiting forme to come to her spiritually?

(12:18):
Your loved ones waiting for youto come to them spiritually as
well.
Allow them the joy and theshimmer of living through you.
And never allow them to feelabandoned.
The more you embrace thecontinued connection, the more

(12:39):
you both will share.
And the greater each experiencewill be day after day.
Keep your heart open, keep yourmind listening, keep your spirit
fully engaged as you live outloud.
And help your loved one enjoyyour continued eternal bond and

(13:00):
companionship.
This not only makes yourconnection real in heaven to
them, but also makes heaven realin your life here every day.

SPEAKER_00 (13:31):

making heaven real in this lifewith Gordon Merrill.
