An important step to becoming an architect rather than a slave of physical reality is to undertake a journey to find where your present moment is leading you. An excellent way to gain clarity of your current path is to travel time to visit your last day on earth.

One of the most profound moments of your life takes place in future time, as a future “you” goes about the business of "closing up shop" at the end of your earthly life. It is a misunderstanding to view such journeys to the future as distractions, for the journey toward oneness is not a linear affair. Rather, it takes place inside many timeframes at once – past, present and future. Moments are never compartmentalized and separate; they exist as one continuous flow.

Your Mastery Self and the Journey toward Ascension

In this way, the version of you who exists on your last day on earth is directly related to your present moment. You might say this future you is your creation; it is the seed you are planting now. It is just as accurate to say you are the creation of this future self. The vibration and essence of your mastery self for this lifetime determines the landscape for your field of possibilities throughout your life. As you awaken and begin to travel time to visit your future self, you gain greater access to its wisdom and knowing. The “you” that exists on your last day on earth is your mastery self for this lifetime. It is the culmination of all your earthly experiences this time around. Ascension occurs when your mastery selves from all your lifetimes unite as one.

The feedback your last day on earth can provide is invaluable in that it offers a unique window into how your present choices and creations will unfold over time. If there is something you would like to change or expand, you can choose to alter the course of your present moment.

Your Last Day on Earth is Accessible Now

You have likely at some point visited your last day on earth in your thoughts and feelings. When your thoughts turned to this day, it may have seemed the inevitable province of a distant and inaccessible time. Yet this future version of yourself is accessible to your present consciousness.

In your mind’s eye, see this future self as it comes into the knowing that your earthly life is nearly complete. Imagine the thoughts and emotions you experience inside the knowledge that there is nothing more to be done. In this future time, most of what you consider to be the great moments of your life have come and gone. That is, except for this last, glorious transition into the light.

The Last Moments of Your Present Lifetime

If you have lived your life in alignment with your spiritual purpose, you will most likely choose to spend these last moments in a joyful communion with those you love, celebrating the completion of your earthly mission and anticipating the next step in your spiritual evolution. Rebirth is the certain outcome of death just as death is the certain outcome of rebirth. There are many in your world that do not pass over in a state of celebration and joy. This is often the case where the life was not lived in alignment with spirit. Sadly, we must describe for you what takes place in this circumstance in the hope you will understand the likely outcome of a life lived with a primary focus in physical reality.

The Last Moments of a Purely Physical Existence

At the end of a purely physical life, the conscious mind begins to generate messages of fear around the idea of passing over into a state of pure consciousness. This fear of the unknown causes the mind to grasp backward to what has been. There is a state of confusion as the mind, unable to embrace the approaching adventure into the vast expanse of spirit, reaches back into the safe refuge of the past. This is where an even greater confusion arises, for as the vast expanse of your spirit approaches, the entire mind is filled with a great light that illuminates all the days of the life. Suddenly, the conscious mind perceives what has been the earthly life in the light of the higher self. If the life has not been lived in alignment with spiritual purpose, all the areas of misalignment become obvious.

These last moments may only represent a second on the earth plane, but they are agonizing years to the being that abruptly awakens to missed synchronicities and missed opportunities for love, healing and joy. Also obvious are the many dead-end pursuits undertaken in avoidance and denial of one’s spiritual purpose. It becomes easy to see the ways one has not believed in one's self. The attention will be drawn to those moments when there were opportunities to proceed along the spiritual path, but the ego refused to invest time and resources in the "unseen" possibilities of spiritual evolution.

Stepping Outside a Physical-Based Consciousness

It is in this way that many earthly lives are ended inside a space of loss and regret. It does not have to be this way. You can choose to step outside the confines of a physical-based consciousness and visit your last day on earth to learn the ending you are now creating. This is similar to the novelist who completes a first draft, then looks back with great insight and vision into the mind space that has been traversed. With this insight, the final installment informs the story’s beginning. The writer then revises the story and makes changes aligned with a more wholistic vision for the work. This is how most great works of art are created: they are collaborations of many different aspects of one’s self at different levels on many different days. It is in this way that you can travel through time to view the life story you are currently creating. With the ending firmly in mind, you can look back over your life with eyes that have witnessed the thoughts and feelings of your last day on earth and see all those areas you would "revise." When you return to the present moment, you can move forward, planting seeds in your garden of now that reflect the revised ending for your story of this earthly life.

Visiting Your Last Day on Earth

To visit your last day on earth, set the intention to travel in consciousness. Enter a meditative space through breathing and relaxation. Once inside this space, allow yourself to connect with the mind of this future self in the seconds before you pass over. It is inside this moment that the light of spirit floods in. You may have heard it said that just before you leave your earthly life, your entire life passes before your eyes. This is describing the moment that your earthly and higher consciousnesses unite and you are able to see your life from this all-knowing perspective. In a single flash, all that has been appears before you. You are able to see your life through the eyes of spirit. In this moment, you are able to see all those areas you would like to transform while there is still time to make changes and “revisions.” Uniting with your higher self now will help ensure your last day on earth is a joyful one spent in celebration and anticipation.

Seeing through the Eyes of Your Future Self

Allow your present self to see your life through the eyes of this future self about to pass over as it merges with the great illuminating light of spirit. Let yourself see all the places where you are in avoidance and denial, as well as the places where you lack compassion, empathy and loving kindness. Allow yourself to see the ways your life could be more aligned with spirit. Allow yourself to see the moments where you could be more courageous, more willing to step into the unknown and fulfill your spiritual purpose.

As you return to your present-moment consciousness, you will begin to put this knowledge to use, making changes in your life to create the revised ending.

Over time, you can choose to visit your last day on earth many times to view the ending you are currently creating. In this way, you learn to live your life backwards, allowing the ending of your story to inform the present moment. It is always your present moment that holds the power to transform your life in the shape of your highest vision - past, present and future.
