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.
No one promised us a rose garden. We will experience many things in this physical life. We may lose our income, health, or loved ones at any time. We may gain income, health, or a new loved one at any time. Balance is the key to peace, and balance is achieved by seeking the Greater Reality — the reality of God’s Love. Acknowledge that good, and bad things are likely to happen, know that this is just part of the learning process of life. Be assured and safe in the knowledge that when the physical is over we will return home to meet again those we loved so much here on planet earth.
“The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist
who founded analytic psychology, 1875 – 1961
Science would have us believe we are accidents. A random mix of chemicals that produced life, a big bang that produced the universe. We just happened through an event of natural randomness. There is no higher purpose to life, no particular meaning, no goal to achieve. Our awareness is the product of our brain. Our mental state the result of chemicals. Our emotions controlled by our chemicals interacting with the chemicals of others. We are powerless pawns of fate.
Science would also have us believe the universe is controlled by law. The law of gravity. That nature follows natural law. We study these laws in school. Newton’ s laws, Bernoulli’s principle, etc., there are numerous laws taught by science. So science believes in order, yet also believes we and our world are random accidents. Big contradiction, the world is ordered or it’s random, can’t be both.
Religion would have us believe we and our universe were created by an intelligence called God. This God created us to do His bidding. We must worship Him. We must hold certain beliefs to be true, we must perform certain rituals, we must behave in certain ways in order to please this God or He will punish us severely with fire and brimstone for all eternity. We are the powerless pawns of God.
Religion would also have us believe we have freewill to make the choices we wish, that God loves us, that God wants us to be happy, that God is our Father. Big contradiction, either God loves us or He don’t. Love does not inflict pain and suffering.
Is there a path without contradiction? I think there is, millions of people have had near death experiences. This experience is really a death experience, since most experiencers were clinically dead during the event. What they experienced in the light was a “higher intelligence” in a totally different way, most say they were in the presence of God.
They felt unconditional love, caring and compassion beyond what they had ever known. There was knowledge of everything, their questions answered instantly. They understood the whole of everything. They were a part of the whole and the whole was a part of them, everything connected to everything. The whole was God. He was the Oneness of all creation.
No punishment, only self correction, being part of everything the deeds of the individual are returned to the individual. Good choices and deeds bring joy, and peace. Bad choices and deeds bring sorrow, and fear. It is a perfect system of self correction.
The physical earth is our school where others mirror our actions so we may learn to grow in love and compassion. Do no harm to yourself and/or others. Be quick to help others. Don’t judge others, and forgive their mistakes. Follow the path of love.
We are not powerless, we are the masters of our soul. We are creators of our own reality. Choose wisely.
