relationship continues after death and we carry on with the dead. the dead are still evolving. the dead could be our exoplanets, revolving. the dead could be exerting the gravitational pull of our inner revolution, bringing it out into the changing world. i have my inner dad, and he has his evolution, continuing in my evolving consciousness, in me. i used to try to separate myself from him, but that was neither possible or necessary. the only thing necessary is to evolve, and be who you really are.
