It&#8217;s just a misunderstanding when we mistake the death of the body for the death of our loved one. The caterpillar doesn&#8217;t die when it becomes a butterfly, it just moves its consciousness into a new body, leaving the old one behind. We survive in consciousness after the change called death. You meet again when you drop your own body. You can also in quiet times feel their presence and imagine you are hearing them talking to you. You&#8217;re not imagining it. Sometimes you see signs everywhere. They&#8217;re just letting you know that life goes on, it just changes form. You will meet again, know that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\">RELATED:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/the-end-of-death-as-we-know-it-what-the-crossing-over-experience-was-like-as-reported-by-those-who-made-the-transition\/\">The End of Death As We Know It: What The Crossing Over Experience Was Like As Reported By Those Who Made The Transition\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/her-perception-upon-dying\/\">Her perception upon dying<br \/>\nHard as it is, get used to death<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=40000\">How to forgive and find closure if the other is unwilling, absent or dead<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/why-pretend-loved-ones-arent-going-to-die-lets-get-over-the-fear\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A Friend and I Talk About Dying and Easy Transitions<br \/>\nWhy pretend loved ones aren\u2019t going to die?
