After Death Communications - My Personal Experiences

I tried to put my troubles behind me and traveled back to my hometown to pick up my best friend. We drove 600 miles to a concert I had bought tickets for my girlfriend and I. The only person I felt could take her seat was my best friend from childhood. I was able to quickly put the troubles of my past behind me and listened to the music pouring out of the large staduim.

The Eagles were the main attraction. Joe Walsh was touring with them on one of their last tours. It was the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Toward the end of the show - the band stopped the show and informed the auidence the authorities were threatening to close the show down at midnight by turning off the power. The band told the auidence that they didn't feel they had given us our money's worth by closing the show at midnight. They told us that if the power went out and we felt like singing along in the dark - they would stay on stage and continue playing and singing along with the 25,000 or so in attendance.

The power shut down and the whole staduim went dark. Everyone started digging out their lighters and holding them up in the air and continued singing along with the lyrics.

A small murmur turned into a loud roar as everyone - including my best friend and I - sang along to the lyrics together.

It was magical how every was putting their best voice out and it sounded so beautiful. My best friend and I remarked how we thought the sing along sounded better than the recorded version from the radio. It was as if all our angels poured 'magic dust' on our vocal cords. I didn't know my friend had a voice that could sing like it did that night. I believe the song was "All Night Long." I didn't know the lyrics but that night - they poured out of me with harmony embraced by 25,000 strong.

Then - five or so minutes into the sing along - the power came back on and it was just as the band promised. They had been on stage keeping up with the audience as our voices echoed off the stadium walls. When that moment came and the lights on stage lit up the stadium and we all continued to sing the song to its conclusion -- goose bumps started crawling up and down my arms. My friend was pointing at the goose bumps on his arms. I looked around and it seemed as if everyone in the audience got the goose bumps.

In that moment when the lights came back on -- it was the answer to my prayer. My mind understood what the spirit of my girlfriend had been telling me.

I was in the dark and my 'blindness' due to the dark nature of the physical world kept me blind to her -- but the whole time she was hidden away on a stage somewhere -- singing along with my heart with a harmony that couldn't be beat. She promised me that one day - I would return to the realm of light and be able to look back on my life and see that her spirit had been dancing and singing with me the whole time. The darkness of this world was causing an 'illusion' of separation - but once I got back into the light and witnessed the history of my life through 'God's eyes' -- then I would appreciate the beautiful song we had created together - from start to finish.

I finally understood what the spirit of my girlfriend meant when she said,

"The life you create for yourself from now on -- is not yours alone. I will be with you the whole time in a way that is hidden from your sight. Don't allow your blindness of me make a fool out of you. Live your life in a way to make me proud of the music we are going to create together."

It got easier to walk from that day forward - but the storm was far from over. Doubt is a human element we all battle with and doubt came at me tooth claw and nail.

Of all places - it happened at a rock concert in Dallas. I felt God had put on a show and in the process spoke directly to my heart.
