New Year’s Eve NDE

New Year’s Eve Day, 1987, I was in a rear end collision which resulted in my NDE.

But first let me say that I was pulled up and out of the body before the moment of impact! While out of the body, I was just floating around the scene, enjoying a new perspective which can not be seen from our earthly view. My life at the time was pretty confining so I was really enjoying the new found freedom!

Soon, I felt myself being pulled into what I later came to realize was the tunnel. Still, I was just happy go lucky enjoying the experience. I somehow pushed against the sides and knew that it was an area that had “sides”. Soon, I began to see a bright light at the upward opening of this tunnel. As I noticed this, I also saw some “sparks” of that light floating down to meet me.

Then I came into an open area with no bounds that was super bright. Still being the curious artist that I am, I started looking around and up. Above me I saw the most beautiful opening. You could compare it to overlapping clouds with an open area near the edge. But the “clouds” were the most brilliant white/blue. I now am amazed that I could look at it as my eyes are very sensitive to the light. At the opening the “clouds” were lined with the most beautiful color you can imagine. If I put a color to it, I would say that the trim around the opening was a silver/gold but darker, not as brilliant nor as transcendent/airy as the opening.

In the opening was my visual concept of the kindest, most God like, figure that I can muster. (A jovial monk.) He gazed at me for a moment and instantly we were together “standing” at a nonvisible begining of the combined energy of All. I knew that He, and the energy knew, that I was there and I felt the most complete Love possible. It was Love plus! I knew in an instant that all that I ever was and ever would be was known, not only known, but Loved and accepted. (I say Loved and accepted only that doesn’t do it justice!)

This became a part of me instantly, and once it did my conceptualization of “God” directed me downward and to the left. There was a HUGE “Jesus” stepping out of some clouds. He faced me and there became a creation panel in front of Him. He was using what I now identify as laser beams, and within the creation panel were mathematical forms. I knew that this meant that he was creating the events of the world and my life.

Then I went down more through a forest and came out near a cave. I think that the “ladies” who took me through the forest were my Grandmother and Aunt. Next to the cave was my deceased Son. He directed my attention into the cave and I could see a wizard deep in the cave. I entered and I feel that this cave was semi-circular down. It came out on a landing, a dirt type landing next to a river or body of water. The wizard became an oarsman who pulled a boat up to the bank and bid me enter.

As we neared the landing across the river, I was told that I must go back! Believe me, they knew what they were doing getting me in the middle of stream to tell me that I had to go back!!

By the time that we got to the shore, pulled the canoe up and I was half-way up the embankment, I turned around and said, “It is going to be OK.” Then I finished my climb, made a right hand turn and awoke strapped down in the X-Ray room of the hospital.

I had not returned to my body enough to feel that I was strapped down. I could only see a green haze as my glasses were off. I only knew that I was alone and couldn’t move and couldn’t see anything! I bet that they heard my screams on the 3rd floor of the hospital.

Letters 06, affirmations

(For an explanation of this catagory, and the letters posted here, go to the first post in this catagory).
———-

I did something a little spontaneous this morning. I tried to do some affirmations a little different. Kinda like….how would the Holy Spirit talk to me.

Example…………I always come out on top. I make good decisions and am in tune with my inner voice. I have overcome much guilt and have forgiven myself. I go from thought to thought easily and am comforted by the knowledge I am guided and blessed. I feel the ONE who walks with me and draw on HIS strength when I am in need.

Things become easier as I relax and trust myself. I am a good person. I have talents. I am intellegent. I forgive myself easily when I make a mistake in thought and just continue with my peace as before. I am learning to love myself and my choices. I am learning to be grateful for and love my mistakes and error prone decisions. I can turn back time when I forgive because it never happened in God’s mind to begin with.

I have all the time I need because I am eternal and have the ability to heal anything with God’s help. I am powerful because God created me powerful and is always with me. I accept the Holy Spirit’s help in thinking loving thoughts. I accept God’s bounty and comfort. There is no greater gift than God’s peace, and I have it. All things are secondary to Love.

If I have Love I have everything. I am invincible and eternal but I accept my changing body given me for a learning purpose. I accept my decision to come here and love myself for being brave enough to do it. I can hear God’s voice if I listen. I can feel God’s embrace if I stand still. I can accept God’s love and forgiveness if I close my eyes and become one with Him.

I am an extension of God. I have a high calling. I am a healer. My life is blessed. I have only one enemy, myself, and I know how to forgive myself and change. Love trumps all pain, death, illusion, sadness and time bound ideas. More and more love is the way of the Universe.

Love is infinite so it never stops multiplying………………..

Peace

Communities

After my near death experience, I read a lot of books, went to seminars, and watched documentaries on anything that remotely resembled what I had experienced. I had a thirst for knowledge of spiritual things. In the end it took me over three years to integrate my near death experience into daily living. I had to learn how to live in the physical without becoming of the physical, not an easy task.

During this search for knowledge I attended a pre-seminar presentation on EST (Erhard Seminars Training.) My boss wanted me to see if the seminar might help his employees to work together better as a team.

I arrived barely in time and found an aisle seat close to the front just in time for the opening of the presentation. The presenter started by talking about the different communities represented in the room. Some of the ones he mentioned were the Medical community, the Business community, the Professional community, and others. I was a representative of the Medical community. Then he asked if anyone had been missed, would they hold up their hand. The person sitting next to me held up their hand, and when asked, stated they were a member of the Gay community. He acknowledged this person and several others before continuing. He then asked each person to turn to the one sitting next to them and introduce themselves, stating why they had come to the meeting.

When I turned, I saw a young girl wearing a black leather vest. The vest had two small chains holding it together over a red, sleeveless blouse. She also wore a red head band, and sported a tattoo on her arm of a naked woman. She could have been a biker, as I remembered, but turned out to be something totally different.

She quickly told me her name was Jill, and that she was a member of the Gay community. Her voice was soft and clear, with a command of words, showing me she was a well-educated young woman. She had attended the meeting to find some peace within herself. After I exchanged my particulars, the meeting was forgotten, and slowly faded away into the background as she answered a few of my questions.

She had known she was gay from as far back as she could remember. Attempts to ignore the emotions proved futile, however much she tried. She felt alone, isolated from others, with different feelings, emotions, and perception. I provided her with a non-judging person to talk to, and she poured out her heart, along with all the hurts of her young life.

She was 16 when her parents discovered she was gay and asked her to pack-up and leave. They wanted no part of a gay child. I can’t even imagine how that would feel, losing the emotional and financial support of your parents, just when you needed them the most. A friend took her in so she could finish school. Being an honor student her whole life, she knew the importance of learning. The conversation, in whispered words, was so revealing she was literally in tears as she recalled those hard years of her life.

She had worked part-time to help support herself during those years, and finally went to a culinary school and earned a culinary degree. She was currently working as a woman chef in an up-scale restaurant.

The Gay community was the only place she felt safe, as if she belonged to something. All she wanted was for others to accept her for what she was, the same thing most people want. I told her about near death experiences, and the love and acceptance God gives to all His children. It doesn’t matter who you are, or what you have done, you are loved for being you, nothing else is more important than God’s love for His children.

The meeting ended too soon, and people were getting up to leave. As we stood up Jill gave me a big hug, and thanked me. She was a young, frightened, little girl living in a world she couldn’t understand. Much like everyone else I have met, including myself. I can not tell you a thing about the meeting beyond the opening statements, but I felt refreshed, full of peace, and joy, and I know Jill felt the same way. It was an incredible evening.

Later, when I became a volunteer at a Hospice, listening to others became very important. I spent many an hour listening quietly to people talk about their lives, fortunes and misfortunes. It is a wonderful way to learn about life. Listen, non-judgmentally to others, and in the process you also will learn and be blessed.

There is no higher calling than to help others in their time of need. Be kind to everyone you meet, show compassion, and heal with your words. Keep the joy, and music of love in your heart, always.

“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.” — John Denver

Quotes by the Famous

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun  is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I searched through rebellion, drugs, diets, mysticism, religions, intellectualism and much more, only to begin to find…that truth is basically simple—and feels good, clean and right.

Chick Corea

‘You are accepted!’….accepted by that which is greater than you and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask the name now, perhaps you will know it later. Do not try to do anything, perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything, do not perform anything, do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted.
