Meditation from 14A by Jennifer Maier
And what if the passage out of this life
is like a flight from Seattle to St. Louis—
the long taxi out of the body, the brief
and terrible acceleration, the improbable
buoyancy, and then the moment when,
godlike, you see the way things fit
together: the grave and earnest roads
with their little cars, stitching their desires
with invisible thread; the tiny pushpin houses
and backyard swimming pools, dreaming
the same blue dream. And who but the dead
may look down with impunity on these white
birds, strewn like dice above the river whose name
you have forgotten, though you know,
having crossed the Divide, that it flows
east now, toward the vast, still heartland,
its pinstriped remnants of wheat and corn
laid out like burial clothes. And how
you would like to close your eyes, if only
you could stop thinking about that small scratch on the window,
more of a pinprick, really,
and about yourself sucked out! anatomized!—
part of you now (the best part) a molecule
of pure oxygen, breathed in by the farmer
on his tractor; by the frightened rabbit
in the ditch; by a child riding a bike
in Topeka; by the sad wife of a Mexican
diplomat; by a dog, digging up a bone
a hundred years in the future, that foreign city
where you don't know a soul, but where you think
you could start over, could make a whole
new life for yourself, and will.
The Institute for noetic Sciences (IONS) did a free seminar (they do one every Friday) on consciousness after death. It was interesting and I thought worth watching. IONS is group of psychologists, physicists and other scientists who focus on psychic and spiritual phenomena from a scientific philosophical viewpoint.
There are two zoom recordings on this page:

I have a question for those of you who are better versed in the afterlife than I am.
My grandmother died back in May of this year. I still have not had a visit from her (or at least, I haven't had a visit that I can identify as such).
When my grandfather died two years ago, he appeared to me a few weeks later. The visit was brief but I knew he was whole, happy, and ALIVE.
I'm concerned about my grandmother, though, because she wasn't able to have a funeral due to covid. Is it possible -- my brain says I'm being silly, but I still have to ask -- that prevented her from successfully moving on?
I speak to her constantly and have asked her to visit me the same way my grandfather (her husband) did, but nothing. I've prayed for her soul also; I'm just not sure if I've done something wrong.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I'd appreciate any advice you might have :)
