The space between heaven and earth is like a bellows.
The shape changes but not the form;
The more it moves, the more it yields.
More words count less.
Hold fast to the center.
I decided to take selective paragraphs, because some of the lines are obvious.
But this one is a good one.
The afterlife is really a deduction, because once you know Eternity (God, Awareness, Absolute space) you know both sides of the equation, and figuring out the zone sandwiched in-between here and Eternity, which I call the afterlife is simply a process of elimination.
“The space between heaven and earth is like a bellows.”
In this realm one is faced with a level of uncertainty and confusion, seemingly lost with no help around you finding your way out is the only recourse. Following the leads before you just makes matters worst when common logic doesn’t apply to anything anymore and your life translates into hopeless images.
“The shape changes but not the form;”
When you live and die your shape changes until it dissolves, but your visual form continues in the Afterlife.
“The more it moves, the more it yields.”
Anything that moves here and in the Afterlife is understood as false to the Self-realized teacher, and in the afterlife any movement just leads to more movement and more problems, relentless issues that you can‘t take with you flash before you. Let it continue and do nothing about it and it will only yield more. If you don’t apply the brakes your vehicle has no reason to stop. The faster the ride the harder it is, and the slower it is the easier it is.
“More words count less.”
The uttered word is from manifestation and although the verbal expression is different in the afterlife the words will still be understood, similar to a dream. Dialing down to a wordless realm is finding the Eternal realm, so the more words the further you are away from dismantling the show and moving on. Words can also be classified with movement, because they are part of the same moving dynamics of energy and time.
“Hold fast to the center”
The center here is the center of your being or the Self. The afterlife forum is linked together because of you and you keep it afloat and active with your attention, so you’ll have to purge the scene by withdrawing your attention. When you hold fast to the center your attention is drawn in and away from the images and this will surrender any and all burdensome attachments. These images represent your whole identifiable life, which is now your nemeses and must be dealt with accordingly. Holding fast to the center is your quickest way out and this in essence is meditation.
In the afterlife dreamlike visuals play out before you and although the shape of things may change and defy reason, it’ll still be identifiable and relevant to you. The uncontrollable drama before you maybe strong and impacting at first, however energy is always changing revealing the emptiness of your personal self-incarceration. The basic components of this realm will be the same for all and ceaseless, it will seem like there’s no way out, but this form of purification has a byproduct that can release itself when the time is right. Once the host surrenders everything by retreating and focusing on its center the drama looses its main character and support, causing the host to break free from the afterlife.

Is there something we can do for the one's we're attached to who are burdened by the false energies ?
Self-study takes a long time and I get concerned at the opportunity they're missing.
This is a broad question, but what is the purpose of creation ? I would have understood if it was about ovecoming challenges but the scope of suffering is so vast and the choice of God so narrow. Even though creation is fascinating, there is too much suffering built into it. How could thiscome about from love ?
