The Light, the Enlightenment

In the typical near death experience, right after becoming aware of being out of body and floating around, a light appears far off down a tunnel. The experiencer begins to gravitate towards that light, enter the tunnel and start going faster and faster toward the light. In the tunnel may be seen others going toward the light also.

The Light is very bright, but doesn’t hurt the eyes to look upon it. Entering the Light the experiencer is surrounded, permeated by the golden Light. The Light has substance, texture, and as it envelopes the experiencer love, caring, and compassion are felt. Total love, unconditional love is heaped upon the experiencer along with total acceptance. The experiencer feels at home, the place he has always belonged, and never wants to leave again.

Questions begin to flow from the experiencer: “Where am I; What am I doing here; Am I dead; Is this heaven; Where is God?” All these questions are immediately answered in a consciousness to consciousness transfer, to ask is to receive. As each question is asked, it is answered, the knowledge of the whole universe, and its full meaning are available. Huge amounts of knowledge pass from the Light to the experiencer. This is the enlightment part of the near death experience. However, when the experiencer returns to his physical body, not all of the knowledge given can be brought back with him. The physical dimension doesn’t have the language, nor the concepts to explain all of what the experiencer learned in the spiritual dimension. But while all is not remembered there is enough retained to change the experiencer’s life forever. His perception of physical life will never be the same again.

Some believe the Light is God, and some don’t. There is a realization that the Light contains everything, all consciousness including themselves, all energy, everything that exists, in both spiritual and physical dimensions. It is All-That-Is, and some call the Light by that name. Some call it the Oneness of all things in which they are a part.

Next, the experiencer will notice “Beings of Light”, coming toward him.

See “Beings of Light.”

About Life

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat. Relax . . .
And read this slowly.

I Believe…
That just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
It doesn’t mean they do love each other.

I Believe…
That we don’t have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe….
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe….
That no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe…
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe…
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you –
you will find the strength to help.

I Believe…
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe….
That you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

I Believe….
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe…
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe…
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe…
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe…
That sometimes when I’m angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe….
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had, and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I Believe….
That it isn’t always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe….
That it’s taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe…
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I Believe….
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe…
That you shouldn’t be so eager to find
Out secrets. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe….
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe…
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don’t even know you.

I Believe….
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe…
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe…
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

I Believe…
That you should send this to
all of the people that you believe in, I just did.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily
have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.

Connections

Last night I couldn’t sleep and tried to meditate and pray while laying in bed in various modes of rest and sleep. Who can be in this world and think there is nothing else and be happy? Seems to me the connection to God and Love is essential to living a happy life.

Everything we touch, see and hear in this world ends. It’s such a dark thought that the random accident of evolved biology we call our brain “figured out” a way to be self aware and that there really is no “self,” only random atoms that got together in an intelligent way without any intelligent guidance for some reason to play a cruel trick on us, and to give us the ability to think we are a “self.” Further, that we are playing a cruel trick on ourselves creating a belief in a “self” when all along we are nothing. Only a mass of atomic energy swirling around that somehow taught itself to delude itself into thinking it was something more than the body when proclaiming a “self.” All misery comes from thinking we are alone, and destined to die and cease existence. Worse yet, that we will suffer IF there is another realm, and worse yet, suffer for eternity if there is an eternity. So the Course in Miracles teaches us that all suffering comes from the guilt of separation. I find this to be true, why should I feel guilty about anything if I know I am part of the living God, but the original “sin” or thought keeps rattling around and causing pain. In any case now I have no trust that I am connected to my Source when I am fearing for my job because I see no positive things happening, and reason that there just might not be a God working on my behalf. Just as bad is the thought that God exists but is unaware or uncaring of my plight. So I feel guilt because the consequence of my separation thoughts has caused my unbelief and fear, depression, you name it.

I feel very fortunate to have been raised at a time when there was great reverence for the divinity of God. In the times that I remember feeling a connection in Mass, or elsewhere, I never felt anything but a great Love awaiting me.

What am a telling you this for? I know I have a different understanding of God now. Guess I’m just looking over my old beliefs and experiences to try and see bright spots of connections and understanding that I have experienced.

Well, I’ve wandered in my writing, really only reminiscing now.

Peace

Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the readers of this blog. May you be blessed with happiness and peace this year. Holidays are the time for visiting family, friends and loved ones. Sharing food and gifts, giving thanks for what you have to enjoy. Doesn’t matter your religion or if you have no religion. Slip on your coat of compassion and enjoy. If a lot of your family and friends have passed over, as mine have, then enjoy giving to others in need of good food and a few gifts. ‘Tis the season to be jolly, and kind, and caring. Be at peace with yourself and the world, let-go of wrongs, let love find a place in your heart during the holidays and all next year. You will be happier for it.
