The Death of an Adept.

In a sense you have the answer to this question already.
The permanent state of which you speak cannot be permanent, within a physical body. You can have Realizations with States of Consciousness but that is what they are, not States of Being.
For example, you can witness the State of ‘non thinking’ in deep Meditation, but you are the witness, not the State.

On Enlightenment you go to that ‘Permanent State’ for a while, you feel different and life should change for you – but you come back to live your life, albeit from a different perspective. I repeat, you DO come back, you have to, or you could not function as a human being.

When an Enlightened person dies they shed first their physical shell, ascend to the Higher Dimensions and enter into a ‘big sleep’- continuing to shed further bodies that were used while in human form on Earth. Then a shift occurs and ‘they’ are no longer the “
‘individual’ but still Conscious, a Being of Light. The Being of Light then joins with their Essence which permanently resides in the Spiritual Worlds.

Following this there are 3 possibilities:

1. Merging into the Onenes – forever.
2. Staying in the Spiritual Worlds, Serving and continuing to Learn.
3. Returning to the physical dimensions by taking another set of vehicles to further pursue life’s lessons.
 
This is Gerald’s Tutor

I know you thought that I dealt with ‘galactic stuff’ but actually my field is much wider. It’s Me you are talking to when you don’t know who it is.
It’s best that you don’t know who I am yet. Just trust that I can guide you truly and help you to untangle the mess that you and (N) have to unravel.

It’s all to do with Ego, that is why we had to deal with (N)’s ego a while back. We don’t want the same thing happening again.

(Y) appeared to change his mind because his personality got in the way of Truth. He needed to get married, settle down to just teaching and giving States, but chose not to.

But it’s such a massive change Black and White. Either you go into the Light or you have a choice to come back. Either there is an Individual Soul or there isn’t. How can personality get in the way of something so important?

I know, it’s hard for you to understand. Paul, as you saw, shedded and left his shell and went from your view. (Y) is right, he would keep shedding in his ‘Big Sleep’ and then there is nothing left of Paul.

When Paul died he left his physical body behind and he is now shedding the other bodies he used while being on Earth. Then a shift occurs – he is no longer Paul but is still Conscious, a Being of Light.

The Being of Light is then joined with his counterpart Soul or Essence.

Then, as I told you earlier, it either merges into the Oneness, or, like (N) and yourself will stay as a teacher and healer respectively.

But doesn’t (Y) realize that the Path has become sterile now with his teachings.

Actually (M) the merging into ‘Brahman’ is Beautiful. When you get to that Stage you will really want to do it, believe Me. Not yet, but it will happen and you will be Ecstatic!
