James Redfield Quotes

A man after death, is not a natural but a spiritual man; nevertheless he still appears in all respects like himself.

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

What is of the nature of spirit and soul must be gleaned from facts belonging to the spirit and soul; we shall then know that in the living thinking which is liberated from the will, a life-germ has been discerned which passes through the gate of death, goes through the spiritual world after death, and afterwards returns again to earthly life.
