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.
There is no such thing as death. We are spiritual beings, and as spiritual beings enjoy eternal life. It is not necessary to earn it by being “good” sacrificing ourselves for others, nor is it necessary to “believe” certain doctrine written by man, or found in sacred books. Eternal life is our birthright, given us freely by our Creator along with our Creator’s unconditional love. Our lives in the physical can be full of joy, happiness, and love. Only we can determine the direction of our lives. We are the creators of our own reality.
Joy is the feeling you get after you have helped another. Smiling at others as you pass them on the street; holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair; taking time to say “how are you” and waiting for the answer; being patient with others; teaching an adult how to read; holding the hand of a frightened child; giving to those who ask; visiting a shut-in and offering to run an errand; visiting the sick in the hospital; being there at the moment of death. These things add up, the more you do, the more joy you feel. The more love you gather and hold.
“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.”
Albert Einstein, German-American physicist,
Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921, 1879-1955
Spiritual growth is literally growing up emotionally. It is getting out of your own way in life. Learning to do those things that are helpful to yourself and others while not doing those things that are harmful to yourself and others. Forming habits of being responsible, truthful, and focused, with integrity in all deeds and actions. Loving, kind, and compassionate to all others as well as yourself. It is a path, a long journey for some and not so long for others. Only you can do it, no one can do it for you. You don’t have to wait to understand the benefits of spiritual growth, they will become apparent quickly, and grow as you grow. Learn to love yourself and all others.
Unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of others.
Real Love is unconditional, it is spiritual, it is the attractive force that holds everything together. Without love things fall apart: people, countries, the universe. Love is an attitude, a state of mind, the way we move through the world. Learning to love is not just the best way, it is the only way to spiritual growth. Learning to love is the highest calling of mankind. All master teachers, and great men have bid us to follow them. They have shown us the path of unconditional love. The more universal our love becomes the more powerful we grow spiritually.
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”
William Shakespeare, Dramatist and poet
considered to be the greatest English playwright, 1564-1616
