I talked with Heath Ledger last night. Now, I know what you’re thinking; didn’t he pass away 6 months ago? Well, yes, he did. It happened like this: I saw an ad for the new Batman movie yesterday and was thinking about what a tragedy it was that he died. Some people say he killed himself and others say it was a drug overdose. I don’t keep up on news like that so I don’t really know what happened. But his soul must have sensed me thinking about him strongly because last night he came to tell me that he did not commit suicide. He said that he did die of a drug overdose, but it was not intentional from the standpoint of human understanding, but from the intentions of his soul, he did choose to leave at that time. He felt his life was complete and that he needed to move on to bigger and better adventures (these are my words, not his). He said, “The human world is so fussy and confusing. It is much calmer here.”
He said that his role in the Batman movie was his greatest artistic accomplishment and that it marked the end of his time on Earth. He chose to move on to create more and to self-realize on a new and varying levels. When I asked him about leaving his young daughter, Matilda, he spoke firmly, “I am with her always. Always. She can feel me and she knows I’m there.” I asked, “Can she see you?” He answered, “I said she can feel me.”
Then I asked Heath whether or not a person retains his or her individual consciousness after death. He said, “No.” Then he went on to explain that he maintains his memories of life as Heath Ledger, but that it is not all of him anymore. He said that his memories are intact, but his consciousness has now expanded to include every part of him, and of God, not just the small part that we knew as a the human actor on Earth. He said that many more opportunities are open for him where he is now and that that is what he wanted. Even when he was Heath Ledger, he always wanted something more, he always wanted to create bigger and better, to express himself and create on a larger scale than human form could provide for him. So, he did not commit suicide, but he did leave by choice, and Matilda will grow up to be very much like he was, only more calm and beautiful.
