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.

About 8 years ago, I was going through some pretty severe stress in my life while in the military. Family problems, legal, financial, loss of love ones, you name it. One night I had gone to sleep knowing that the next day would be the most difficult day of my life.
I was about to wake up, when I heard and saw an explosion of super white light, immediately followed by what seemed to be a million voice choir singing in perfect harmony. I was suddenly standing on some sort of platform; to my right was an angel standing under a archway, with a welcoming and peaceful look. I looked into the sky, I saw a perfectly defined rainbow, there was a light just behind the beautiful clouds, I could not see the the total light, but the rays were coming through and entering my body.
The feeling was so good that I fell to my knees and pounded hard on the ground with my hands. At this point all I ever wanted to do was to stay there and continue to praise; the thoughts of money, sex, material things seemed so insignificant; all I ever wanted was there.
I felt that I had a choice to make, I wanted to stay there but I was facing something that next day that had to be completed. You see I was facing a verdict in court for something that I never did, put on me by my ex-wife, angry over a divorce. Well, the verdict was not guilty, in fact I was consoled by the judge himself, all of the members of the jury seemed to want to embrace me as they smiled at me walking away from the court room.
“However many holy words you read,
However many you speak,
What good will they do you
If you do not act upon them?”
Buddha
“The essence of all religions is love,
compassion, and tolerance.
Kindness is my true religion.
The clear proof of a person’s love of
God is if that person genuinely
shows love to fellow human beings.”
The Dalai Lama
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.”
Paul the Apostle
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7
The role of religion is simple; teach only love. Should a religious organization retain past doctrines that inhibit or prevent the teaching of love in all areas, then that doctrine should be replaced quickly with doctrines of Love. Getting closer to God is to get closer to His Unconditional Love.
Creator to created we came into being.
Image to image, yet each unique.
Individual to individual we are the children
carrying within His precious gift of love
being free to plan and pilot our own course.
It will not be an easy course on smooth waters.
There will be high seas and rough weather,
but there is the promise of final success.
A guarantee we will make it through
for we are eternal as our Creator is eternal.
We will learn to gain faith by believing.
To gain love by giving love in all situations.
To receive compassion by being compassionate.
We will learn to not judge nor condemn others,
but to celebrate the differences of those unlike us.
Though we may possess knowledge and wisdom,
we will remain humble to all we meet,
understanding they are a part of our Creator as we
greet them with patience and peace in our heart
willing to forgive all with loving kindness.
When the lessons are over we will be anew.
By giving our life in the service of others we
become closer to our Creator who gives us everything.
His heart to ours as we grow to become like Him,
being a child of whom He is well pleased.
Supernatural, miraculous, anomalous, etc. are words used to explain events of unknown cause. Everything, however, has a reason for being and a discernible cause. If we don’t understand an event, it doesn’t mean it is beyond us. In time, all things we marvel at will be revealed.
If you want to speed up your knowledge of life, learn to Love. Within the energy of Love is the answer to all things, all knowledge. Love is the answer.
“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem…”
