"When the evening of this life comes, we shall be judged on Love". St. John of the Cross
When I died and went to the light...or whatever you want to call light... I was judged not for my crimes but rather I was judged for the love I gave and the love I received. If you want to call the light something else... or not something else... the light or whatever it is...whatever you want to call it.... loved me so much like the best mommy loves her best son...or the best daddy loves his favorite daughter... so much so that the love forgot all of my weakness...and loved...beyond the measures of this sad and dying world....more love than I could ever hold... and stay alive in a body... If I have any love to give today...it is because I reflect even the tiniest portion of what I was given on the other side...but not just me...the light...or whatever you call light...is the sum of all love....through all dimensions....and even in this place where time kills us all...love is a thread that runs through us all here but there...there is where there is the whole spool of yarn... If my metaphors don't reach out and grasp the vastness of the love that awaits us on the other side it is because words are just not big enough to say love big enough...but if I could I would say them...I would write infinitum about them...but love gives me enough space to allow me to forget...so I can find love in the tiniest of things...where big is not the word used...for the least lovable of things...in the the least lovely... even in me...and you...in those of us who hide from the light(okay) love that is on the other side...
One day I will return...but today I am taking tiny steps toward love...some days I am crawling...but when the window of this life closes....the gates of heaven await(or whatever metaphor you want to call the place where love reigns)...the gate will open wide...and I am going to be leaping again for for the light...flying toward the love that awaits me there...but next time I am not going to look down in the presence of the light but I will look up...into the face of God(or light...or love...or shoebox...or fill in the blank....whatever there is beyond words that you want to call love...love that loves me brighter than a star....brighter than anything...I call it light...I call it Yah....you may call it something else...but if I haven't said it in a hundred different ways... I know it can not even scratch the surface of what it is...but here I am...trying once again spilling my soul out trying to describe the indescribable... down here again in the underworld...amongst my fallen friends...Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,007,672Dear Rudi,
I am so grateful to you for your posts, they are poetic and bleed with empathy. I don't know what we would do without you here. I know something greater awaits me when I die but I don't know what that is and I am trying to learn from your experience. I try to create more love in my life, I know I am only human and I consider the cycles of life and fate which continue to change. I am a student of astrology and have studied many things about it, indepth and know that we are truly earthbound and have limits and things to endure. The only thing that makes sense is what you and others with NDE have to share with us. How we grow and mature and what is truly demanded of us. I feel somewhat limited and bound by earthly restrictions. I have read the consciousness work of Dr. Hawkins an enlightened man in the West and know that we can only move by a meagre set of calibration points in this lifetime towards liberation. I know it is possible though but I am surrounded by people, those who have been blighted by life, cheated by the promise of hope and deprived of the deepest longings of love. What is your advice to these people and how do they attain lasting happiness amidst the unchanging conditions? I think of Eckhart Tolle's work and the Power of Now which is about living in the present moment which is the only method to alleviate suffering, to totally immerse yourself in the here and now is a key. I sometimes waver but I remember these teachings and try to apply them inspite of my limited awareness and discipline. My naturopath had an NDE and she follows a shamanic path truly living the Beauty Way totally free and fully alive, not daunted by things that have caused her pain. I am interested in these states too and have researched a website called Peak States of Consciousness where you can learn more about these vistas of experience which are rather awe inspiring and you wonder how on earth people arrived at those points. I would like to know more about this. I have read some of "The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East" and it is pretty incredible the things people can do, I think you recommended it. I am just a seeker, I am bound by limitation like many people and am interested in growing more fully. Thank you for your posts, you serve a very important role in awakening people gently and sharing friendship.

I know that depending on your cultural background that who you meet on the other side could have variations. If I was going to die soon, I would try to forgive all harm that had been done to me... By holding no grudges... letting go of this world's judgments...the darkness and tortured spirits that clung to you in your life will not have to be removed from you on the way to the light... There is something to forgiveness that looks like vengeance to the naked eyes but looks like the light of love to the soul. Some rare few souls stop to look around and see those spirits that hid their soul from the light as heavy clothing but when we enter into the light...we are renewed...the spirits we collected...are freed from our soul... loving spirits will continue on as witnesses of our love...but those spirits that are witnesses of our unlove...will not follow us into the light...As layers of an onion are peeled away..when the last vestige of physical spent...in the end there is nothing at all physical awaiting us... it looks like whatever love there is anywhere...the sum of all the love there is...love is not a physical thing..."love loves."
Most of us want a certain amount of familiarity on our trip home... While I saw souls
as orbs of light... I did see many trees and plants that had a certain amount of solidness to them... The trees and plants appeared as plants from my world...while I imagine the paths of others from other worlds most likely went down paths that reminded them of their world... In my familiar path the trees and plants on either side of my streets of gold were so vibrant that each blade of grass and every leaf on every tree was so alive that each one of each of them seemed to have a loving spirit in them but collectively they were all a reflection of love
I know some who go to the other side put clothing over their ancestors, former lovers, friends, or their super beings... I did not... The souls and my religious icons were made out of light but if it gives you comfort to have one layer of the onion to comfort you then it is up to you. I just remembered a being I did not make eye contact with but saw its reflection in a gem in the throne room... a being float above the light with eyes going in every direction... but it was a reflection again... it is putting on physical qualities for what has no physical thing.
As for me... I do see in dreams another earth...freed of death and dying... I might return to such a place one last time but I don't want to be tricked again... Over there we can't see the pain going on below...so it seems like returning from there would be okay...but it is like a magician's trick...when we fall again into our mother's womb...the pain of this side comes alive again... I don't want to be lured to the side of heaven by the illusions of this world again...instead I want to stay in the light of love... giving up the burning for things that burn,,, the very act of desire for what is familiar...casts us out of the perfect light...
If I was going to plan my trip again... I would not go back though those gates again...and fall again... Even my flesh is rebelling as I type these words... It is saying here is not so bad,,, but yesterday I met someone else with my own myths who said we should turn the middle east into glass(from the heat of nuclear bombs)...and I know there are those who really have the power to do that... more...they think that God is Okay with that...and I realize my comfort is my comfort while others who say they believe in God oppress billions of human beings and grind them down for my comfort... I am not willing to return to another body where I have to stand on the shoulders of others....pushing them down...to make me feel tall...
You have a choice of what you want your other side to be... I hope you choose an other side that looks like love...
You had much more to say in your post. I hope, love willing, to return to those other sayings you said... I try not to just say something just to say anything. Your letters lift me up and give me strength... I will return to your words when I hope I can give you back some of the loving kindness you have shown me with your words... Thank you again...
Y_h bless your path to loveAdvertisement
