Re: Does This Ring A Bell?

I didn't see any other souls, but I sensed people I knew were there if I wanted to be with them, and that they were waiting if I wanted.

Everything I experienced was totally up to me except meeting God, (I assume) the judgement, (having my life flash by) and going back to Earth to let others know I was there. I felt going back to Earth was off limits except for extraordinary circumstances, which the average life isn't.

Since time was nothing there, I realized I would be with my loved ones soon again anyway. It was just physical things on Earth that sensed time. I could go back to Earth at a different point in time if I wanted, but time didn't mean anything there. It was like the past, present and future were all one and the same there. I sensed that I had been to different points in time on Earth, and that I would go back soon no matter what happened, because I REALLY wanted to advance spiritually.

That's why I said I bet you'd come back to Earth again soon once you get back to the other side, because it's so great there and you want it to be greater. The only way to do that is to come back here to go through all the experiences it takes to acheive that ultimate love. I wanted so bad to love God back as much as I was loved by God, and I wanted to do it as fast as I can.

Don't get me wrong. It's fantastic on the other side, but we don't advance there.
1. How can you learn loyality, unless you live in possibilities of betrayal and desertion?
2. How can you learn unselfishness unless you live face to face with the inescapable self that desires recognition and honor?
3. How can you learn pleasure unless you live in a world where pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever present possibilities?
4. How can you learn courage unless you live in an environment that necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments?
5. How can you learn service to others unless you live in a world that provides situations of social inequality?
6. How can you learn hope unless you live in a world where human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties?
7. How can you learn faith unless you live in a troublesome predicament where you only know less than it can be?
8. How can you learn idealism unless you struggle in surroundings that require reaching for better things?

Heaven doesn't provide any of these experiences. Only Earth does.

There were those there that are more advanced and less advanced on the path, but on the other side each person is viewed as we view our new borns here on Earth. We only see the potential in each other, because compared to God we are all the same. God is in a totally different class than anything else, so who can find flaws in anything? It's like everyone being less than two years old where you aren't self-aware yet and if you try to find flaws in others, it can't be done. This is the attitude we all have on the other side. This is what Jesus meant by being a child to enter Heaven. Jesus wasn't self-aware of his greatness. Each creature except for God is truly a child, and after being in the presence of God everyone is truly aware.

Also to me it seemed like the time we're living in right now is one of the hardest points in time on Earth, and it's right before something big like peace on Earth is about to happen. I believe this is going to happen through collapse of the current ways we live, through various means and humanity will finally learn how we should be living. Together in peace and harmony with God and love at the center. But only after everything we know has self-destructed.

So I say rejoice! Be that becon of light on Earth, or a mirror or lake reflecting Gods glory to the world. You chose to be here because you've advanced far enough to handle this point in time. Imagine going back with the biggest smile on your face and saying "WOW I made it through all that" and imagine the rejoicing.

Now stop imagining because it's real. :-)

Take Care Rudi because you're greater than you imagine!
