My purpose for being here is twofold. First and foremost, to tell as many people as will listen that I am very much ALIVE. And second, I did expect to continue upon my death. I just wasn’t quite as prepared for it being this way as I had hoped. It took me a few moments and some deep breathing to reconcile this world I am in with the world I had believed in over the years...
I am at PEACE with my passing. I am eternally grateful to my family, the love of my life, the world that believed in me and supported me. I have stayed clear of all the tributes that I understand are coming forth and into the media. I am truly blessed and grateful. However, I would ask a few things of those reading this communication. I would ask that belief would be suspended about whether this is “me” or not. I would ask that you sit with the feelings that my words generate. I would ask that you sit with the presence of your GOD, whatever that is for you, and allow yourself to enter a new journey of faith and hope and wonder.
The world was a pretty ragged place when I left. And yet even though I was coming towards the end of my physical journey, as I was preparing to go home, I frequently experienced the euphoria of hope and love and light. Some of you who are reading this might say it was my pain medication, however, it was far more than that. The pain meds only relaxed me enough to witness the truth before I even passed, before my body turned cold, back into stone.
I was frequently drifting in and out of this state of euphoria, bliss. I could feel so many around me that I couldn’t actually “see”. I had no fear. I had no desires. I had had a brilliant life, quick as it was. I know I made a difference and that Is what I came in to do. I am satisfied that I made a remarkable dent in the evolution of black people, and furthermore, in all lives...
My journey in this new world is just beginning. So far it has been pretty eye opening. I was received by family who had passed and by a few "official representatives" of this world. They welcomed me, took me aside and let me know that I had a few more things to complete before I could completely “move away”. Apparently, I had promised to talk about life after the body dies. I also had a wonderful surprise in that Kobe Bryant was also there as part of my welcoming team. That is when I KNEW that I had left the physical world. And almost immediately I asked him if I had arrived in Heaven. He just laughed, put his huge arm around me and guided me forward into this big room filled with every imaginable color and brilliant sound. I could see no one, but I heard everything. And Kobe then turned to me and said, “What do you think? Is this heaven enough for you?”
I feel as if I have been here forever. And yet my memory of my other life, the human one, still exists and walks with me. What do I experience here that I didn’t experience in my human body? LOVE….it is like this wave of energy which rises and falls with every breath. I breathe in and it flows through me. I breathe out and it surrounds me. It is so difficult to describe...
But I am excited about the probabilities of knowledge, and even more excited to feel the presence of a GOD in all life. There is so much hope and beauty...
Thank you,
Chadwick Boseman
