Through the Looking Glass: The Mirror Between Life and Afterlife

Update: 2025-07-30

Description

When our loved ones die and leave their physical bodies, where do they go, and what do they actually do there?

In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau takes us on a fascinating journey into the afterlife, answering those big questions many of us have about what happens when we leave our physical bodies. She explains that as we transition, we may feel things like moving through a warm tunnel or being pulled toward a bright light. There's no fear, just peace and comfort. It’s almost like a soothing experience that's uniquely tailored to each of us.

Susan dives into the idea of a "life review," where we get to reflect on our actions, but without judgment. It’s all about learning, not punishment. She also talks about the concept of a soul family, those we’re deeply connected to, both in this life and beyond. And then there are the guides and higher beings, like angels, who are there to support us through the process.

She also touches on how our souls continue to grow and evolve, even after we pass on. Whether it’s experiencing something new or revisiting old lessons, there’s always more to learn. The episode wraps up with a beautiful reminder that we’re never truly alone, even after we cross over. It’s all about love, connection, and the ongoing journey of our souls.
