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.
Near Death Experiences reveal we live after our physical death, and that our lives are full of meaning and purpose. They show us the spiritual world is our real home. We come here by choice to learn about ourselves and to gain knowledge for our spiritual future.
In the physical world we learn the alphabet, so we can put letters together to form words. Those who master large numbers of words can communicate quickly and efficiently with others. Research shows the bigger the vocabulary, the better the chance one has to become successful.
In the spirit world it is thoughts we learn about. The physical world provides the teaching for us. Here we see our thoughts in action, our hopes and desires, as well as our fears, unfolding before us even as we think about them. Thought translates into reality, how fast this happens depends on the intensity and frequency of the thought. “We are what we think.” is truth.
We are learning to understand the importance of thinking, focusing thought into useful constructive ideas, and beliefs for the benefit of ourselves and others. Some call this positive thinking, spiritual people call it learning to love. Love is the tool to gain spiritual growth. The more you love the greater the growth.
When we give up the negative thoughts and start working with loving ourselves and others, many wonderful things happen. We can understand things better, gain knowledge quicker, and live peaceful, stress free lives. It is not an easy path, but it is worth the extra effort.
Start today to honor your thoughts with the importance they deserve. Listen to yourself, notice how others react to you. Make adjustments in your thinking to help yourself. Read positive books, do positive affirmations, listen to positive thoughts, and replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
While the physical world can be really tough at times, it is always safe. The Higher Intelligence (God) that created it, and you, is always there within it all. Learning to love will open the door of communication, and understanding will flow to you from the Love. You will reap what you sow.
You are always held, safe and secure, in God’s Love. No matter what others may think of you. No matter what you may think of yourself. God loves you. You can not fall from His grace. Love is your eternal birthright. You can not lose it. It is endless.
God loves you more than you realize, more than you can imagine while in physical form. He sets no limits or conditions. His Love is unconditional. You don’t have to do anything, believe anything, or be anyone special to deserve it. You are His perfect child, in whom He is well pleased.
People like to control their own destiny. They need the mental and physical freedom to become the kind of person they admire. They want a successful career, a loving family, enough money to be comfortable, and that is possible through the proper understanding of thoughts.
Thoughts are self-fulfilling, they will bring you what you most think about whether it’s good for you, or not, depending on the intensity. That is why understanding thoughts is so important.
Thoughts themselves are neither true nor false. We make them so by the value we place upon them. The thought “I am too fat,” is harmless unless taken to the extreme dieting of anorexia. Karen Carpenter was 35 pounds underweight when she died of anorexic complications. I loved her beautiful singing very much, and was greatly saddened.
Some entertainers have taken their own life at the peak of their career. What were they thinking? Was the pressure of success overwhelming? Did they feel trapped or hopeless? What thoughts cause young people to take their own lives?We need to find answers quickly and help them overcome the intimidation of their own thoughts.
Below are a group of thoughts that are ninety-nine percent counterproductive the second they enter the mind. Only those who entertain them are not aware of that fact. This is all of the noxious thoughts I could think of at the time, I am sure there are hundreds more.
: “No matter how much I do, it is never enough” : “”Nobody loves/cares about me” : “I can’t do anything right” : “I do it all, nobody helps” : “I gave up everything for you” : “My life is hopeless, there is nothing left for me” : “I am all alone” “I am helpless” : “I can’t take any more” : “All you do is belittle/criticize me” : “I can’t do that, I can’t do this” : “No, no, Idon’t want to try that” : “I wish I was dead” : “I hate you” : “I hate my job/house/(whatever)” : “I feel guilty about (anything/everything)” : “I’m sorry (many times a day)” : “I am too fat/skinny/dumb/(any negative word)” : “I can smoke/drink/do drugs, nothing bad will ever happen to me” :
Negative thinking produces negative results. The more you think about a negative outcome, the more likely it is to happen. It is important to think about yourself, and your life in a positive way, even if it seems unreal to you at the time. The more a thought is repeated the more real it will appear. Finally, thoughts become beliefs whether they are true or not. Then they become habits that are really difficult to change from negative to positive. Examine your thoughts carefully, keeping only those that are positive.
The best way to change unwanted thoughts and habits is to replace them with wanted thoughts and habits through the use of affirmations. When I was a teenager I smoked cigarettes. I knew the dangers of smoking, but did it anyway. When I needed to quit. I made up some affirmations and started to practice them twice a day, once In the morning, and before going to bed. It was between two and three weeks that I started to lose my desire to smoke. One morning I vowed this would be the last day I smoked a cigarette. Well it wasn’t. But I kept on with the affirmations until one day it was the last day. Below are the affirmations I used. It is easy to make up your own.
: “I don’t like smoking cigarettes“ : “I don’t smoke anymore” : “I quit smoking” : “I’m through with smoking” : “I have no desire for a smoke” : “I am finished with smoking” :
If you have trouble writing your affirmations, send me the details, and I will help. There are general affirmations and spoken affirmations that are very good for anyone to use anytime.
Now remember how long it took you to develop a habit, for it will take a while to change those negative thoughts into positive ones. Don’t give up, try to say the affirmations on a regular basis and then go on with your life. Don’t try to judge whether they are working.
How do we stop people from killing themselves? I believe negative thoughts held by troubled people may finally overwhelm them and turn into suicidal action. They need help to change those negative thoughts into positive ones.
There must a million reasons why people become potential suicides. Sickness, style of life, acculturation, bullying, isolation, alienation, etc., etc. But, it is far more important to ameliorate the condition than to study it.
Thoughts are the path to human activity. We think first and then we act, even if sometimes that seems impossible when noting the outcome of some of our actions. Thoughts are powerful inducements for action. If you never consider suicide you will never commit suicide.
If you connect with a thought often enough it will become a belief. Beliefs are frozen thought. Then beliefs become the knowledge which forms our outlook on life. Whether thoughts, beliefs, or knowledge are true or false is our take on them. I suspect everyone has some knowledge that is true and some false, without knowing which is which.
Changing negative thoughts into positive ones will, over time, create new beliefs with a more positive outlook on life. This process will allow you to cope with the problems of life. Life is neither negative nor positive by nature. We make it negative or positive through our attitudes. How we choose to react to a given problem shapes that problem into a minor annoyance or a major crises.
The most common way to change negative thought patterns is to do affirmations on a daily basis. The idea is to develop trust and confidence in yourself and others. It will sometimes be necessary to do affirmations that you believe are false. Here you consider the positive value of the affirmation as opposed to your negative belief, and choose your path. That path will determine the outcome.
Another method that may help is reading about “Near Death Experiences.” Between ten and twelve million Americans have experienced NDEs. These experiences have the ability to change lives overnight. Reading them will increase your knowledge of what happens after death.
