SPIRIT REALM
When I came to.
Where my consciousness had returned.
I saw it, no, I saw them.
They were staring at me steadily
What was worrisome was the anger and disdain in their eyes.
“We are your friends”, they chorused.
“You have forgotten us obviously going by the puzzled look in your eyes”. The one with the most intense look in her eyes pointed out. She also looked at her other friends seeking agreement or yes.
I was a bit lost, as I can’t seem to think clearly yet, my head was pounding, and my eyes felt heavy, I am sure they are bloodshot too.
“You are dead! That’s why you can see us now”. The intense one said once again.
I looked at my hands and touched my body on a whole round in bewilderment.
My eyes were filled with genuine surprise, ‘how?’ I thought, my mind on a flash
race, trying to grasp the tiny fibre of memory that eludes me.
“You fell and hit your head on the concrete floor, he did push you!” The calm looking one interjected suddenly, her eyes flashing a pain that seems like on my behalf towards the pusher.
My inside felt like I haven’t had enough rest in ten years.
“We have always been with you, but you didn’t even notice enough to harness
our essence, so that we can assist you as we were meant to”.
My eyes suddenly grew in their sockets, my small mouth stood ajar as I can’t
seem to make much sense into their assertions. I am also sure that I don’t know any of these people gathered around me.
Oh God, it’s all coming back to me in torrents and my head had begun a fresh
round of pounding. Yesterday was a Saturday; I remember that Derian had told me to put his clothes into the washer and for the wash and I had refused insisting that he should do it by himself, then he said I should do as he had instructed, his face filled with undisguised irritation, and I had also insisted stubbornly that I am not his maid. I recall now that he had gotten up and hit my face with his fist and then I fell since I had been on the intermittent fasting, I had become lighter and that’s all I remember.
I just woke up to see these several eyes, faces staring at me in concern and then it changed to annoyance few minutes after.
So, I am dead! Derian needs to clap for himself as he finally did it. Stupid fool.
We had been married only two years, a time that was filled with so many pains, misery, and humiliation. One time, he took off all my clothes and pushed me into the streets, then he locked the door of the house, the front, and the back door. We lived in Atlanta, Georgia, up until this happened, my parents are in Philly. I doubt if they know that Derian has finally killed me.
I wonder what happened to Derian, he used to be such a sweet man. Whatever messed up his psyche has finally made sure to turn him into a murderer.
I brought my gaze back to my forced-on friends in the present. “Where are we now”? I said, my voice sounded low and hoarse.
“You are back here with us”, they chorused again. “When you were a baby, and you didn’t talk yet, you remembered us, we come to you, and we all played together, all the time”.
They seem to have a habit of talking in sync often, but I can hear perfectly what is being said.
I frowned, as I cannot recall their assertion, though they seem so sure.
“Oh, oh, Okay, do you remember when you will faint off in the mornings when you lived with your uncle? Where your uncle’s wife hated you so much because of your dizzy spells. The one that asked this question had a glint of twinkling deviousness in her eyes, she was almost jumping to ask the question. “I was the one, I made her loathe your existence, since she was going to solve your dizzy spells, being a brilliant doctor of good repute. Inside your slumber during the fainting mode, it was the only time we could play with you.
You always ignored your hospital appointment, so I made your backache so intense, then you couldn’t walk, so that you had to be carried to the hospital since I know they will check your full health, the one who said this had the cleanest of skin with the part of her eyes that should be dark remaining also white, melting with the white part. She looked unreal. I even make you hear things, like running water, so you could get up to check the kitchen and your bathroom in case you left the water running, I just want you to get up and walk around” she said again with a wide grin across her unreal little face.
A quiet one spoke up suddenly, “do you remember always taking such a long time to even think about deciding on leaving Derian? Yeah, it was me that made you reconsider him always, I couldn’t let you leave him, since he will be the one to bring you back to us”.
“That huge contract you lost last year, yeah, that was me. I needed you poor and frustrated, since you refused to help the woman who asked you for some money for her son’s school fees, yet you had the money she needed, you could spare, but you used it to buy that expensive handbag.” The one with an air of self-importance spoke up, finishing with a nod and an air of pride and resolution.
“For every time you appeared clumsy and drop things, foods items and the rest, especially food, we were actively at work, we were so hungry, but we could only take from the food on the floor, and not from your plate, yet you always sweep it off before we could eat from it, you were so mean”. They all said this together with a frown.
They continued in sync speech “Do you sometimes felt like you weren't alone even as you were, obviously. It felt almost like you could feel that someone was there, watching you, right? yeah, that was us. We were right there, waiting for your every move.
We needed you to feed us to grow as you also were growing, but when you spill, you clean it up almost immediately. You dry off the floor the moment water pours on it too. You don't help anyone in anyway, you just stayed selfish, rude and oh, so arrogant.
We couldn't relate at all.
There were silent rules that guided how you will horn our potentials, but you failed it all. Your kindness to others would have released all, at least most of our powers, but you were so mean to people. Why were you so mean to everyone?”
“I was so hungry and sad that I set out to make you so unsatisfied with your life. Besides, you ignored that little boy that walked past you sometime last month, he was barefoot”. She spoke up with a quiet voice from behind her cohorts, calm, with a soft, sure, and serene demeanor.
Vaguely I remember a little boy walking by past me barefoot almost in the front of Burger King, I was on the phone, so I didn’t even notice if he spoke to me at all.
She continued, “Well, the poor woman who helped him up as he fell, also gave him lunch from her little funds and this was televised on national TV and the Mayor compensated her for it, she is now a national Hero. All she bought for him was fries and chicken from Burger King. The boy, he fell right in front of you, we were hoping you could take more interest in helping him up, but you didn’t even see it.
You were just so self-absorbed.
“Sometimes, you suddenly wake up at the nick of time and other times, you wake up just in time to get ready, so you are not late for your appointment, yeah, that is me, I nudge you out of your slumber so you can avoid looking stupid in your earthly rat races”. The one that said this was right behind me, smiling triumphantly.
“So, all these little things define my success or failures back on earth?” I exclaimed incredulously!
Again, they all shrugged with boredom, like I have not been able to tap into what would have released their actual potentials into my life.
I suddenly felt the need to ask for their names. “Okay, my dear little friends that didn't grow an inch, even as I did, what are your pretty names?”
My name is Wealth, and right here is Comfort, this Is Truth, pointing to the one beside her, hiding behind me is Mischief and beside her is Health”. “And I am patience”, the one that claimed responsibility for making my staying longer with Derian spoke up once again.
My eyes widened again as several emotions must have played across my face as realization hit me like a flat pan on clueless brain. These minions worked against what they stood for since I didn’t not work according to their tuning. My palm placed flat on my face in an invisible mode. Only I knew I carried out this action since it was done with my mind.
Is this one of my dizzy spells though? Am I that lucky this time?
“No, you are dead, they all answered again in unison, and you also didn’t live well enough to stay here with us. Daddy is going to send you to another place now. We will miss you dear friend”.
Spiritualism
The spirit world, according to Spiritualism, is the world or realm inhabited by spirits, both good and evil of various spiritual manifestations. Whereas religion regards an inner life, the spirit world is regarded as an external environment for spirits.
The Realm of Souls is the revered afterlife of the ancient Nehekharans. It was believed that upon death, the deceased's spirit would enter the Realm of Souls, also known as the Underworld or the Netherworld.
We all are said to be spirit beings. Some of us more than the others.
When we mention the spirit realm, the other words that come to mind are ethereal, formless, intangible, unworldly, non-material, other worldly, unbodied, nonphysical, unsubstantial.
So, when I imagine the spirit realm, my mind always does the infinity time sprint, so I have decided to put down my imaginations of some happenings in these ethereal realms.
Above, we follow on the journey of a young woman’s experience in the spirit world after death.
