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.

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into maturity, get older, out of date, and finally come to an end.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.
I go to the fountain to feed the fish
every morning, and when the goldfish
see me their activity increases in
contemplation of being fed.
Their fixed eyes seem to look up
at me, but I wonder if I am recognized.
Would they know me from another
or are they merely reacting to the
change of light above their small pond.
I would like to believe they know me from
others who may pass by, and understand
it’s I that feeds, and cares for them.
Wonder if God feels that way as He
looks kindly upon us, and loves us.
