My grandfather — YouTube from the CEC Library

I turned to him and asked, "Grandpa, are you not blind?" He replied, "Yes, I am blind, my son. Now I know what you are doing. One day, I will be seeing you, and you will not see me as you see me now." Blindness is therefore a matter of how each person perceives life. He repeated, "The day will come when I will see you in the same way I see you now, and you will not see me." This statement affected me, especially when considering the consciousnesses that inhabit vehicles different from ours but that we ignore.

When someone is alive, we often do nothing good for that person or act out of self-interest. At death, in moments of intense emotion, we ask for forgiveness or praise the deceased, wishing that they encounter evolved spirits or go to heaven. This reflects our inability to see life as a continuity. If we could see from the other side, our attitudes would be different.

Spirits observe us from the other side, seeing not only our physical body but also the spirits that accompany us. To them, what we consider sin has no relevance. The true barriers are emotional, created by our concepts and prejudices. We create rigid laws to protect ourselves from normal things and end up suffering the punishments imposed by these laws, whether social or internal, such as a superego that evaluates us constantly. Spiritual consciousnesses observe us and see much more than we imagine. One day, when we are using only the spiritual vehicle, we will see too. It is important to improve ourselves; otherwise, we will see only that with which we have an affinity, without attaining the best perceptions we could have with the physical vehicle.
