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.
When this question is asked in the Greater Reality, the answer given is: “God has always existed.” God is the Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End of all things.
All things come from God and have their existence in God. We live within God and God lives within us. Jesus said that the Father was within and did the good works. If we believed this, we could do the good works also, and even greater works than Himself.
The nature of God is universal, unconditional Love. Compassion, truth, and caring for all. This is confirmed by the Near Death Experience.
Now, where did evil come from? If in the beginning only God existed, how could evil come from good? It couldn’t and it didn’t.
Man became so focused on the physical world that he forgot his spiritual nature. He mistakenly thought himself weak and vulnerably. He became fearful of his neighbors and divided the lands and built walls. He warred against his neighbors and brought much suffering into the world. Needing an excuse for his actions, man invented devils, demons, and symbols of evil to explain his own transgressions.
Spirituality protects and helps us to cope with life on all levels. Those who understand their own spiritual nature are better at handling the ups and downs of life than those who don’t understand.
Many of the most successful progams use spiritual teaching.
Spirituality provides the anchor people need to help them through the rough times, providing incentive for changes they need to make. This is especially true with those near death. It brings comfort and peace in the time of greatest need.
The practice of believing in, and honoring a higher intelligence (God) goes back as far as mankind. From cave paintings through modern writing, God has been a part of the human existence on earth. Near Death Experiences prove there is a higher intelligence, and that we are loved and cared for by it.
Those with problems need to know this. It provides hope for the future. It provides a meaning and purpose for their existence and the incentive to change. NDEs have provided an incentive to change for all who experience them. I was not changed by my Near Death Experience. I saw within it the need to change, it was the most powerful incentive for change in my entire life.
Why would anyone choose materialism as the only thing available in this world today. Materialism is nihilistic, dead-ended, without hope, meaning, or purpose. Materialism says we are accidents, created by a fortuitous random mix of chemicals, and developed into our present state through evolution. The universe created by the Big Bang.
When you could choose spiritualism. A belief in a loving Creator, who created it all. In spiritualism we are eternal, we have hope, and our lives have purpose and meaning. The good things we do will continue on with us into eternity. We have a reason for trying to improve ourselves and to grow in wisdom and knowledge. A reason to learn about ourselves and to love ourselves and others.
The choices are there. No one can prove for sure which is right. There is no solid evidence for either save what we hold in our hearts and mind. We were not in attendance at the beginning of this world and/or life. We can only read or study about what others assume happened.
I had a near death experience and saw the spirit world first-hand so the choice for me was decided not by my assumptions, but by my experience. I am a spiritual person, created by a Higher Intelligence that loves me, and gave me free will, and eternal life.
