continues. has come and that they are in another material body by mistake. In most cases, once the incoming spirit understands what has happened, it will immediately let go and pass over, relieving the individual of the confusion of spirit and returning them to normal thinking. There are thousands of cases of this phenomenon on record, providing a wealth of new knowledge about the spiritual world. Once on the other side, the spirit will rest for a period of time that is dependent on two factors. If you have lived a long life and have adder a great deal of wisdom to your spirit, you will come back very slowly. If you have lived a short life and have learned very little, you will come back more quickly. This is Creation's way of balancing out the evolution of the human spirit-forms on a planet. The time on the other side follows the pattern set by Creation as it evolves through cycles of waking and sleeping. The sleep period on the other side is a time of rest and contemplation. No new experiences are gained; that is only in the material realm. The wisdom learned from the material lifetime is considered, or cogitated, and the process of evolution for the spirit Once the rest period starts, the spirit is no more aware of the material world than we are of the spiritual world. Communication is possible if you know how, and in some cases thoughts do transfer, but for the most part the spirit has no interest in the material realm. When we are alive and sleep at night, our material senses are off, and we are not aware of the material world. We are busy finishing out the thoughts of the day or traveling through time and space in our dreams. Awareness of the material returns when we wake up in the morning and begin to use our conscious minds again. Our time on the other side is very much like this.
