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.

In writing the song “Imagine” John remembered the light of unconditional love. We are created in this love, every one, and connected by its magnificent beauty. There is nothing to divide or separate us in the spirit world. No heaven, no hell, no countries, no religions, and no need for possessions. Our spirit world is as one. But in the dichotomy of the physical world many forget they are loved. Choices are made that hurt others and themselves. We lose our way and forget we are the light of love. But, the light is there within us all waiting to be remembered.
Imagine
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
A loved one dies and we feel empty. A large part of our life has vanished, we worry if we could have done something more. Sometimes we feel guilty, depressed, and even angry. Nothing is the same anymore, and nothing can be changed. It is over.
Our loved one has returned to the spirit world. Everyone comes from there and returns to there when the body dies. There is no judgment to endure, no pearly gates, nor lakes of fire. There is only love, unconditional love. We are created in love and live in love and return to love when we pass.
It matters not who we were or what we accomplished. It matters not if we believed in God. All, every soul, returns to the spirit world surrounded by unconditional love. There they review their physical life. Any judgment comes from them, no one else.
We, who are left behind, suffer from grief and worry. Our task is to forgive. Forgive ourselves and all others of any mistakes we may think was made. To send our love to the deceased on their continued journey through life in the spiritual. They are safe and secure, we are safe and secure in the unconditional love of the Creator. Only time will diminish the grief and emptiness. Then, when it is time, we will rejoin our loved ones in the love that never ends.
There
is a vast difference between Religious beliefs and Spiritual reality.
The Greeks and Romans had many Gods. They erected statues and places
of worship. Gave sacrifices, wealth and great devotion to their Gods.
Now, the religions of this ancient time have faded into history. The
religions of today will also eventually fade out of favor and into
history.
Religion
is an institution for expressing belief in a divine power. A set of
rites, rituals, practices, and protocol written and followed by
mankind. It is because religion is physical expression, it is doomed
to the fate of all physical constructs. They have a beginning, grow
into maturity, get older, out of date, and finally come to an end. We
read about them in history class.
Spirit,
on the other hand, remains unchanged. Spirit exists above and beyond
the discernment of mankind. Spirit created the physical world and all
things within. You are spiritual. You were created by Spirit and are
occupying a physical body in order to live, learn, and grow
spiritually within the physical world. When your body becomes
unsuitable for physical life you will return to the spirit world.
Like spirit, you are eternal.
As
humans
we can not fully understand the nature of spirit, nor do we know how
spirit came into being. Some
humans have experienced a short
glimpse
of the spiritual world through a
phenomenon called the
Near
Death Experience.
It is through these experiences that we are able to understand some
realities of the spirit world.
Spirit
is light, and the light is pure energy. All things have their
beginning in the light. You were created as a being
of
light, self-aware, and with
the characteristics of
unconditional
love,
unflagging curiosity, and
eternal life.
You
grow spiritually by expanding your awareness. The physical world
allows you to make choices, then
live through the consequences of those choices. The rule of spirit is
“like attracts like.” How you treat others determines how you are
treated.
Eventually
you will learn to be nonjudgmental, kind and loving. Your
job is learn to
understand yourself and others. Accept others and yourself for what
you are and expand your love. The
more you learn the more you will understand.
You
honor yourself by honoring others.
Never
forget you are the light of the Creator surrounded by unconditional
love. When life gets difficult seek the light within. It
is your birthright. Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will
find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
What I learned from my near death experience is that beliefs we hold are not reality nor truth. However, these beliefs are responsible for our happiness and joy, or our sadness and depression. It is very important to understand that what you believe can help or hurt you. The axiom of “you create your own reality,” is very true. If you think badly of yourself it reflects in all your thoughts and deeds prompting others to think badly of you also. Hopefully, you will think well of yourself and your ability.
I learned what unconditional love is like, and why it is important for me to learn to love in that manner. It is love that holds everything together. It is love that replaces fear and gives you self-confidence. It is love that brings peace and joy into your life. It is love that heals both physically and mentally. I am trying now to walk the path of love, forgiving my faults and shortcomings, and forgiving others theirs. I am using love to stop judging myself. No one said it would be easy, but it is rewarding beyond belief.
