This blog is more than an account of Near Death Experiences. It ponders in detail the tough questions of life. Who are you, and why are you here in this physical world? What happens when you die, and is there a judgment? However, most anything could appear here. This is not a news blog, archived posts are just as relevant as new posts. Check the boxes at the top of the page for the Contents, Contact, Forum and other links.
Could you forgive a person who murdered your spouse? There is a program being used in some prisons called a Restorative Justice Program that attempts to bring murderer, and family of the murdered together in forgiveness. The family forgives the murderer and the murderer acknowledges the wrongness of their action. It is a most holy place where forgiveness is given and wrong doings are acknowledged. Great love is shown and experienced with both participants gaining from the experience. An earlier post lists some details.
When Jesus was teaching the call to love from the hillsides of Galilee, there were no Christian churches, no doctrines of Christianity, and no “New Testament of the Bible” to guide those who listened. He explained that He came to bring life, abundant life to those who had ears to hear and eyes to see. He asked the crowds to “seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all other things will be added unto you.” When the question was asked: “Where is this Kingdom of God?” He replied “the Kingdom of God is within you.” The Kingdom of God is Love; universal, unconditional love. That is what Jesus taught. There isn’t any difference between the love Jesus taught, and the love millions felt in their Near Death Experiences. They are the same; they are God’s love.
In God’s golden light of love, there is peace, joy, safety and understanding. All the wisdom of the world: who you are, and what you are doing here, is explained. There is clarity of mind, and choices become easy. Love comes to all who seek; all are worthy. No one is “lost” or out of favor with God. All have made mistakes, but God’s love is greater than any mistake. There are no doctrines to follow; no rituals to perform; no money to pay. Ask God to teach you how to love.
I broke down into tears watching this. I realized that all the depression, and anger within me was simply because I wasn’t able to forgive the people that hurt me in the past. I had resentment and anger and a “get back at them” approach in life. This video opened my eyes.
To understand everything is to forgive everything.
— The Buddha
The fires of hell have gone out
smothered by the grace of a loving God
quenched by the tears of His forgiveness.
Only the void is left, shadowy darkness
a place of black silence, nothingness.
If you find yourself in the void,
cry out for help, ask for the light,
and your plea will be answered
immediately.
