If watching over people means not at rest, I'm curious about what "at rest" means... that we die and then go into sleep mode or stare at angels playing harps on clouds for eternity? I'm not trying to be a pain, really. It just seems silly to me to think that we don't do anything important after death or suddenly don't give a poop about the people we left behind (assuming there is life after death and all we 'experiencer' people aren't all just the same kind of crazy).oh god don't make him elvis. if he's out there healing and watching over people, then he's not at rest. i ebelive he's watching over his kids and his mother. that's it. not in bathrooms or at gas stations. that's elvis' job
People who have Near Death Experiences paint a picture of a very active world over there. Another example is the books by Dr Michael Newton (Journey of Souls & Destiny of Souls). He's a counselor who allowed regressed people to talk about 'past lives' (although he didn't believe in that) just because he found it helped. One day he decided to see if they would supposedly remember anything after that past life, before this one. Turns out that hundreds of patients tell the same kind of stories about what it's supposedly like in between lives. And again... they're busy after that bit of rest and recuperation. They're learning, they work with folks here (in bodies), they go to other worlds, etc and they're always connected with loved ones via consciousness. Not saying that's a 100% proof, of course, but it's got to make one wonder. That's why I never use "RIP" (well, besides that I think it's cliche and Halloween tombstoney). I don't buy into the idea that we just "rest" after we die.
Now Elvis, yeah. We all know Elvis isn't over there. He's flippin' burgers in Oklahoma last I heard...
