The reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding. We know that after death, we have to look at our lives again; and weโre going to agonize over every missed opportunity, over every case in which we failed to act. This knowledge is contributing to our determination to pursue every intuitive image that comes to mind, and keep it firmly in awareness. Weโre living life in a more deliberate way. We donโt want to miss a single important event. We donโt want the pain of looking back later and realizing that we blew it, that we failed to make the right decisions.

All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.
