Re: NDE's

I hear you SayWhatAgain! Thanks for your reply. It's good to see someone being honest with themselves.

I had an experience very similar to a NDE, but it actually wasn't. I can't write down all that happened, but this is part of it.

I died, and my spirit rose out of my body and I could see my body down on the hospital table as I rose up. It felt peaceful and natural as I rose up from Earth and looked around at Earth and "Heaven".

Then I could see this golden wave type of light heading towards me when I got out of Earth's atmosphere I assume.

I didn't know what it was, but wasn't afraid and knew it was something good and wouldn't hurt me.

It turned out to be God. And when the light got to me, it was like it passed right through me and filled every cell in my body with love. Not any type of love I've felt here on Earth. More pure, innocent and holy.

And then my life passed before me like a movie on fast speed. It only took about 5 seconds?

God was very forgiving! But without saying anything verbally, God basically said good job, go do what ever you want now. God understood we are not perfect. I think all God wants is for us to make progress towards that goal.

But while I was there I could tell my relatives were around and I could see them if I wanted, but didn't.

I just kind of observed what was happening around me. I was trying to see what the architecture of "Heaven" is. How it operates and who fills what role, and what the roles are.

I could see there were people that were WAY further down the road to becoming more God like. And that's where I wanted to be.

I was given the opportunity to go back to earth or stay there. Naturally I wanted to go back to learn more.

To me, it seemed like Heaven is a type of resting place where you go to recover from living on Earth. And Earth is where you learn and grow. Earth is where you experience all kinds of things from "life" to "love" to "hate" and "death". Heaven has none of that from what I saw. It's more of a peace, harmony and love type of place, where everything is perfect. Everyone is forgiving and filled with Gods love. You could do what ever you wanted. Total freedom.

But you will never experience what it is to love, when no one loves you. You will never experience what it is to work the hardest you possibly can and get no recognition or respect from it. You will never experience what it's like to be thrown in jail when you're innocent and still be loving. They aren't pleasant or easy experiences, but they are the ones you learn and grow from. Like Jesus said, it's easy and what have you gain if you love someone who loves you?

But you don't experience and grow from these things in a place where everything is perfect. Where everything you do is respected and loved. Where there are no jails or wars. Where basically every wish is your command.

I saw how time doesn't exist. Past present and future are happening all at once. And you could choose what time period you could come back to if you wanted. Yes, we do come back.

I wanted to go back and tell others I'm ok, but that was not really allowed unless it's REALLY important. Then I realized the people I wanted to go back and talk to would be there soon anyway, it didn't matter. And they are all doing what they planned. So why should I interfere? It's all been planned from before time.

There was no marriage in "Heaven" either. That is a like a secondary type of love in "Heaven". God is the best love there is, and there is nothing else like it. Why would you consider anything else? Nothing else is like it.

And one other thing I saw was that there was a battle going on, on Earth. And good wins out. I was part of that battle for good. I didn't play a huge role or anything, but was part of what won the battle. There are many good people fighting for good. Evil will loose the battle!

This happened when I just started out being Christian, before I was aware of all the deception that is in the world now. This happened before I had even read the Bible.

Now the reason I believe this was a "God thing", is that feeling of Gods love was in every cell of my body, and lasted 2-3 days. It got weaker as time passed. I didn't even know what had happened for sure back then. But something special happened I knew.

Anyway, that experience shows why I do some of the things I do, and Refreshed and Trust have seen. I will not back down to any evil. I know we do not die. We go on no matter what. You can't kill me. You can only kill the body.

And it's not some kind of "sleeping" or dead thing where we wait in the grave till judgment day. The judgement is pretty immediate and fast.

And God is not an angry, vengeful or hateful God. The Bible says God is love, and that's what God is. God is the source of love. But God is so much more than just love too. No one will totally understand what God is. Just like the clock cannot understand it's maker.

But one of the greatest evidences for God and Heaven is the disciples.

Remember how they were cowards and ran away and hide out afraid for their lives until Jesus came back and met with them? Then what happened? They went out everywhere and spread the word TOTALLY without fear. They had their own form of NDE. And that's one common thing ALL NDE people have. They do not fear death in any way, just like the disciples.

I've had a couple of other experiences since then, but I'm not getting into them. They were good, just to cast away and wondering.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Take care and God bless!
