Translation

translation Another for death - leaving the physical body permanently and moving into a higher world, or plane.

Soul carries Its body of knowledge from one lifetime to the next. This is similar to translating something from one language into another, such as French into English: the content is the same, and only the words change.

The death of the physical body here on earth is not the death of the personality. The personality lives on as the Astral, Causal and Mental bodies of the individual until Soul is reincarnated.

This is why so many times after a parent or loved one dies, people have dream experiences with that person.

At the time of translation, those Souls under the guidance of the Living ECK Master are taken to whatever region of the inner worlds they have earned. Others, not under the Living ECK Master, are taken before Yama, who administers karma according to their deeds.

Process of Translation

In most case, as we make the transition into the heavenly worlds, we are totally unconcerned about it. As bright as the sunlight appears to our eyes, this physical world is a dark, small, mean place compared to the other worlds. You will see settings similar to those on earth, but larger and with a lot more light.

There will be a lightness and spaciousness about the body that you wear there. Soul is once again wearing a body, but It is on a higher plane. It is so natural that generally you don't give it a second thought.

And you are always greeted by someone you know and love.

For those who love truth and God, it's a smooth change.
