Part One

It was the end of September when I first heard of Isabella Greene and her book. By the start of October I had received a copy, and within a couple of weeks I had read it three times.

It is quite a slim volume, and is easy to read. It is based upon the personal experiences of Isabella, along with those of various clients and others she has known - she works as what she calls a 'metaphysical specialist'.

'Leaving the Trap' is the title of her book, and it sits beside the works of Howdie Mickoski, more majorly David Icke ('The Trap' and 'The Dream') and an increasing number of others, in exploring the hypothesis that this Earthly realm is not what it appears, but is set up as a trick, a trap, to ensure the constant return of souls into a world of misery and suffering. Or at the very least, duhkha as it is called in the original Buddhist texts: 'unsatisfactoriness'.

Christianne Van Wijk describes the style and content of Isabella's book as yin, in contrast to David Icke's writing, which she calls very yang. I initially found this a funny way to look at things, but as time passed, I began to see that she has a good point.

To make much sense of this stuff requires a familiarity with the basics of Near Death Experiences (NDEs). There is nowadays a wealth of reports in books and online from people who have almost died - or in some cases medically died for a time - only to return. I recommend reading some of these. It is instructive, and we're all going there sometime or another.

While each experience is unique, a number of themes are common to many of these reports. Here are some.

On leaving the physical body, a white light is frequently experienced. Then a tunnel appears. A feeling of great peace and of love overwhelms the newly-deceased, unlike anything ever felt while alive. For those coming from protracted painful illnesses or injuries from accidents etc there is incredible relief to be released from the tortures of the physical body.

Very often, the soul is now welcomed by some religious figures. These correspond to the deceased's belief systems while alive. If you were Christian, or absorbed the stories of that religion, you will see Jesus; if you were Buddhist, you will be greeted by a Buddha figure, and so on. Those without such beliefs will likely simply meet some loved ones: granny, who died many years ago, is there, having waited all this time to welcome you into the afterlife. 

There is frequently a life review. Your entire life is played back to you in a flash. You see the good things you have done, the bad, and the consequences of your actions. All will suddenly make sense to you. And then there will likely be an evaluation, focussed on the things you did not do well, the mistakes you made, the hurt that you produced for others.

On the basis of this, you will most likely feel guilt, or full of regrets. The wise ones, the ascended masters or loved ones will now tell you that you should go back. There are still things to learn, your job or mission in this life is incomplete, you can rectify your errors, and so on. 

Part Two

By definition, NDEers return to this life - some happily, others reluctantly, feeling that they have been cajoled by the figures in the afterlife to come back. So what lies beyond this stage in the afterlife process remains unknown from their reports alone.

Near Death Experiences take place in what is commonly referred to as the astral realm. Sometimes 4D, in contrast to our physical world of 3D. It would seem that the astral is the non-physical equivalent of our Earthly realm, and that the two are intimately related.

Near-death folk sometimes return to this life rejuvenated, with a new-found enthusiasm for continuing with their activities here on Earth. They feel great relief and confidence, knowing that there is indeed life after death, and it is heavenly. There is nothing to fear.

All of this sounds great. But is it really? Isabella Greene doesn't think so. Drawing on her own experience and that of others, she concludes that it's all a trick, a trap for the soul. Its aim is to keep souls reincarnating on Earth, and incidentally getting nowhere fast. The angels and loved ones who appear to the newly deceased are in truth no such thing. They are what Isabella calls 'the handlers', maybe more commonly known as archons in disguise. They shapeshift at will, into the form which will most likely captivate the soul in question, and thereby lure it into repeating the incarnation cycle. 

From my point of view, this all makes supreme sense, and sheds light on what previously appeared incongruous. There is continuity between life and death, so the notion that human life, gritty, up-and-down, often painful, would be followed by a heavenly afterlife made no sense to me. Life and death are part of the same process: as in life, so in death. 

Human physical existence is characterised by deception and manipulation by a minority of entities, so we might expect the same to exist after death. This does indeed seem to be the case. While dark entities rain misery upon humans through fake stories of deadly pandemics, human-induced climate catastrophes, and the rest, the fake stories simply continue in the afterlife realm, in the astral, in the form of heroes and departed beloveds imploring you to act in certain ways. It is all very familiar. Consequently, seeing through the bullshit and, very importantly, not giving in to it, during life will be one of the most valuable preparations for what may await us following our death.

Part Three

For many years, Isabella Greene would engage in astral travelling. This, plus the experiences of some other clients and contacts, forms the basis of her book. What manifests is a barrier, a kind of seal, at the 'outward' limit of the Earthly astral realm. Try as it may, a soul is unable to penetrate this limit to its voyaging in non-physical space. This seal can be portrayed as the mystical notion of the Ring-Pass-Not. The Ring-Pass-Not has different applications or meanings, or is suitably vague, and is a term which can be found in Theosophy, among other places. However, it fits well with what is encountered at the limit of the Earthly sphere.     

Isabella has also discovered how to by-pass the astral completely, and this is what she practices nowadays, with astral travelling as such rendered redundant. Beyond the astral realm, she claims, we enter what she calls 'the Void'. Unfortunately, this is another term that is bandied around liberally amongst spiritual types these days, without defining what they are talking about. However, she describes it as 'the black space which encompasses all'. She was 'part of the primordial field of the energy that creates and sustains worlds.' It is beyond the limitations of physical Earthly existence and its non-physical counterpart, the astral realm. 

Isabella wakes at 2am every night and practices: this is the time when it is most effective. She calls her method Quantum Travel, and it is based upon tantric breathing techniques which arouse the kundalini energy and send it shooting out of the crown of the head. It is reminiscent of some techniques I knew about from Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, related to the ejection of consciousness at the moment of death. These are considered very advanced techniques, from the Yogas of Naropa.

On first reading of Isabella's middle-of-the-night meditations, I felt very disturbed. I have done enough meditation-type stuff to know what her meditation entails. She truly walks the talk, unlike many who are only too eager to speak about things they have not had the courage to really experience for themselves. I wondered whether I should adopt this technique. After all, kundalini is active in my life 24/7; am I making best use of this precious gift?    

Anyone taking all of this the least bit seriously is well-advised to purify themselves during this lifetime of the emotions and attitudes that are most likely to be used by the handlers/archons in persuading and cajoling you back into another round on the vicious wheel of samsara. Foremost among these are: guilt ('Look what you did, very bad. Lots of karma built up from that. Back you go!'); regret ('Go back and do it properly.' Or 'You didn't do what you should have done. Go back and do it now!'); unfulfilled purpose; general lack of satisfaction with your life. Just do your best - honestly, sincerely, properly - and get on.

The convid event was a perfect dress-rehearsal for what apparently awaits most of us after we die. The population was bombarded with orders, 'advice', mandates, and the rest, to do all sorts of bizarre things that it would never have considered doing previously, all promoted by a lorry-load of 'authorities'. These people in dark suits or white coats embody precisely the same energy as do the ascended masters, Buddha figures, and 'loved ones' who will greet you in the astral afterlife; demonic entities, archons, in disguise.

The way any single human being reacted to the edicts of those politicians and 'experts' (whose proclamations all came with the minimum of supporting hard evidence) three years ago offers a clue as to how they might fare when their physical body breathes its last. 

If they were duped, then serious attention to the 'inner work' may be required, if they are to see through and get the better of the deceptions awaiting them in the afterlife. And if they are among those who followed the protocols, taking the toxic injections out of convenience and longing for an easy life - so they could go on holiday by plane, or eat pizza in a restaurant - they are in a similar situation. Their actions will all be stored in the astral AI database (either the real akashic record or a bad copy, I am not sure), and the handlers will be wise as to how each individual fared during the convid test.

They will have your number, and be ready to make you an offer you can't resist. "Ah yes, life on Earth can be tough. Never mind, we've got just the thing for you. This family has plenty of money, a fast car, and a big flat-screen TV. How does that sound?" "Great! Count me in. Let's go!" And with that one fateful decision.... bang!...... back for another turn on the not-so-merry-go-round. 

Part Four      

If you are able to take on board - and I mean really take on board, not just intellectually but emotionally and spiritually - that we may well live in a simulated world, which has imperfection and imbalance built in, then your perspective can begin to change. You are less hard on people who are trying their best (not everyone is trying their best, by the way....) but are making a bit of a mess of it all.

Trying to achieve ideals that are impossible within the terms of this matrix. We may feel less harsh in our judgements, as we measure people up against ideals which we feel in our minds, or preferably in our hearts, but which normal mortal humans are not going to live up to. Those ideals, I propose, are cried from the soul, which knows that there is another way, another world; it is born of divinity, of connection to Source, to God if you like that word. But it is being tricked time and again in this 3D world that it finds itself trapped in, and in most cases blissfully unaware of its prisoner status in the first place.

Awareness is key. All proponents of the reincarnation trap hypothesis emphasise that the continued imprisonment is not inevitable. We can get out, and return to the realms of infinite consciousness and unfettered bliss. But it requires knowledge, training, discipline, courage, and steadfast determination in the face of the dark ones, be it in the physical realm or the astral afterlife. The choice is yours, as is said.....
