i seemed to be feeling or experiencing other peoples memories. I remember seeing tatoo like marks on my finger nails. MY hands were shaking uncontrolably like thousands of volts of electric were going through them. I beleive i used mind over matter to come back to life. IT as though i had to make a choice. Maybe it could of been the effects of bad drugs but perhaps i died form some kind of poison and came back to life. I just had this strong feeling i had died and i was somewhere else
I experienced something when i was pressured into taking some dodgy lsd which could well of been anything or poison. All i remember is this place whch was a state of mental conciousness and some kind of mental prison with no physical feeling. IT was wierd it was kind of based on spiritual turns and i remember drifting in and out of this place. I'm convinced i died and came back to life. It seemed to be memories of many different life events. i seemed to be feeling how other people had died
It's interesting to me, every now and then I come back and watch your video, because I find myself missing your energy and sense of humble humor. That sounds strange, and kind of stalkerish, so I hope you take it in the spirit in which it was intended - I'm happily settled and have no energy for stalking XD. I just wanted to let you know that your story and demeanor are a pleasant lift to my mood. I think you're wise not to make the assumptions and proclamations that other people wish you would.
@caffeinekatalyst Lol, thank you very much. I’m careful to never add anything to my experience which wasn't part of it, and also cautious just when interpreting it too. Both these actions would be of me in this world overwriting something greater from the other, just to add earthly context and force it to fit our limited understanding. I would rather just hint at the tiny portion of Truth I actually experienced, than extrapolate and proselytize about my beliefs on what it meant
@GoosedByTheLight I think you are taking the right approach, and I'm saying that as a Christian. If I heard a testimony full of "Christian-ese", I would be less likely to believe the validity of it. Why? Because they may be moving from the realm of simply relaying what they experienced into what they believe and hope. Two different things. I want to hear the experience, so I appreciate your stand very much.
@mearokus Thank you for your feedback. I did experience a portion of Truth, but I was not given all the answers, so I think that it would be irresponsible to overwrite my own conclusions atop what was essentially a divinely initiated message. It was about Love, all about Love, and God is Love. I can say that since the NDE, I did a lot of research on many religions and still came to embrace Christianity as the closest to my view of Truth, but I’d never judge another for disagreeing.
@GoosedByTheLight I have been reading a lot about NDEs the past couple of months and am now most of the way through Dr. Ring's Lessons from the Light. This information has been very eye opening to me, to say the least. The credibility of the people's testimony and the consistency of the stories tells me there is very much something spiritual going on. In fact, I am having to reevaluate some things. I'm still not sure what to make of Hell, since some people seem to have NDEs
@GoosedByTheLight For example, is Hell a permanent place/condition or does it even exist at all? Some people supposedly have experienced it as an NDE. Also, what about reincarnation? Were all of us in "heaven" prior to our birth on this earth? These are some questions I'm having now, and it's a huge change from my traditional Christian upbringing. I think what will happen is that, similar to you, I will tend to be much more open minded and less dogmatic about my faith.
@mearokus Hell is a tricky subject for me. In my NDE, I felt connected to everything and felt that All was One, separation was an illusion, and that every part of existence was important and irreplaceable to the Whole. I did not sense a “place” we would call hell through the connection. I also sensed that God truly was everywhere and all Loving in a totally unconditional way. I KNOW that these things are true, and it is not based on just beliefs.
@mearokus I also know many NDErs who experienced “hell” however, and I believe that what they experienced was real too, and their telling of their experiences is often in line with both scripture and the common views on hell. How can both these pictures be true? I think that the confusion stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what “hell” is. I believe it is not a “place” of “punishment”, but a self imposed “state” of “separation”.
@mearokus If hell is a place and God is everywhere, then God must be in hell too. If God is perfect Love and all of creation is necessary/irreplaceable, then God wouldn’t punish the whole for the sins of any part…etc.
No, I don’t believe it's a place and don’t believe that we are sent there, I believe that hell is just a direct result of free will acting on the plasticity of the environment that we know as the afterlife. We choose hell and judge/punish ourselves, usually inadvertently.
@mearokus I believe hell is more about how we die, than how we lived, and there are a few factors which can cause us to choose that path. As just one example from my own NDE, I can tell you that we can hide nothing from the mind of God. Our souls are more than just open books, we are completely transparent to “His” gaze. I might have retracted from this complete Knowing if I had not first sensed the unconditional Love which came with it. I felt naked, but also accepted, flaws and all.
@mearokus Had I been aware of being naked in that garden before I realized that I was loved just as I was, I too might have tried to withdraw and hide myself. That is what I believe hell is, a turning inward as a rejection of everything outside of oneself. Including God Again, this example is only one of many triggers for such a withdrawal, along with our beliefs, guilt, fear, confusion, etc. All is One, All is Love, and separation is a comforting lie that we can chose to hide in.
@mearokus These are just my beliefs and what I've come up with to explain the disparity between these views regarding the existence of hell in relation to what I was shown to be true. It was not told/given to me from on high, just reasoned by me while I have been back based on logic, scripture, distressing NDEs, and all else I could find on the subject. Please take it with a grain of salt, because I know I'm just a fool trying to make sense of something beyond my ability to fathom.
@GoosedByTheLight It's the old God of Love, God of Wrath thing that is hard to understand. The NDEs that I've heard regarding the life review make sense though. The "hell" would be having to relive our entire lives over again, this time through the lives of those we've hurt. Actually feel the pain we've inflicted upon them. That might be hell enough! But infinite punishment for a finite sin is hard for me to understand. Again, I say that as a Christian. God knows and His justice is perfect.
@mearokus Many early religions would anthropomorphize God/gods, and Judaism was no exception. We often confuse God being made in our image, with us being made in God’s image. There’s a difference which is oft-overlooked. I believe the belief in God’s vengeance stems from a need to explain natural forces which were beyond early man’s understanding, and many Christians adhere to the idea, because they confuse old Jewish concepts with Christianity because they both share the same bible.
@GoosedByTheLight I think you make a good point (theory) that maybe we inflict this hell upon ourselves. Could be. I could certainly see that happening in the life review. It is all a very interesting topic, life changing really, the further one delves into it. My approach over the years is to be especially forgiving of others so that I will be forgiven my sins. Try to approach things with a more humble spirit, realizing I'm not better than anyone else.
@mearokus I agree, the life review makes perfect sense, but we don’t just relive the pain we caused, but also the Love and inspiration we gave as well. It can be akin to both heaven and hell, always fitting our life’s actions and choices. As for the distressing NDEs version of hell, there’s good reason to question if that is ever eternal. Most frightening NDEs change for the better part way through, usually after the experiencer stops fighting/trusts something greater than themselves.
@caffeinekatalyst That would make the NDE about me, when I feel that I’m just the caretaker of the NDE to share it with All. I do look at the experience through different filters of beliefs and concepts of this world to try to make sense of it, but only as through filters and not by painting it directly. I try very hard to keep the subject itself pristinely free of such beliefs and opinions while I play with these concepts, but some tied to the concepts find this threatening.
@edadan2009 NDEs aren’t works of fiction we can edit to include aspects that were not actually in them. I will not bear false witness, especially in Jesus’ name. If Jesus wanted me to mention Him when I talk about my NDE, then He would have at least appeared in it, if not told me to directly. I share what was and what is, and not what I would have wanted it to be or what I thought it should be. We aren’t talking about religion or beliefs at all, but a real experience of just part of Truth.
You don't have to "edit" your experience. But, can't you give glory to God and tell others about Jesus Christ? Didn't Jesus die to give eternal life to those who would believe? You have a unique opportunity to tell others about Jesus - don't waste it.
@edadan2009 When I speak about my NDE, whether on TV, radio, the internet, or in person, I speak about my experience, and not my beliefs. My beliefs are irrelevant in comparison to an actual and very real communion with our Creator, and this experience is already erroneously believed to be related to religions by far too many. There is no point in mentioning beliefs, when the reality of what actually happened was so much greater and more meaningful.
@edadan2009 If you really want to discus my beliefs, then no. I believe that Christ is the Word of God, the emanation of our Father, which gives all things form. God creates through Christ, and since the time of Adam, mankind can only label, name, and describe what our Creator gives us through “His Word”. The labels and descriptions may be composed of words, but they are the words of man, and not the Word of God. The bible is our guide and our history, but not our Savior.
I never inferred that the Bible is our Savior. I am simply saying that God is ultimately the author of scripture, and as such; It is His Word. For you to say that the Bible is the words of man is to deny what God Himself says about scripture.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16)
@edadan2009 Well the Bible says many things and you can't treat it like a buffet, you'll take one part of it as true, but not hold true to the other parts. It's man made, God may have had a part in it but people wrote it, humans with human ideas and human prejudices and influences wrote it. It's not infallible.
@edadan2009 God inspires scripture. I’ll go that far. The idea that the bible is one infallible Christian book is erroneous. It does not have one author. It wasn’t even written by one religion or in one millennium. It is a collection of many books from Christendom and Judaism, Written and translated through Hebrew, Greek, Latin… and what made it into the collection was definitely decided by us, whether Nicene or Carthaginian Councils, or other forums of men.
BTW... I completely forgot whether or not if I replied to your emails last year regarding your experience. Last year was a literal blur with so many things happening, I'll have to explain another time. Keep fighting the good fight S.
@edadan2009 What’s your opinion of the Apocrypha? Of the Dead Sea Scrolls? The Nag Hamadi Library? The Jewish Tanakh with the Torah? The Talmud or Midrash? Of even the Quran or the Book of Mormon? Which would you consider to be on par with any book in the collection we call the bible? If “All Scripture is God-breathed”, then why are these scriptures not included (excepting the ones that are, but in differing forms of course) but others are?
@edadan2009 These are all scripture flowing from the line of El. The father god within the pantheon of Syria which broke away to become the one God of Judaism? I don’t know, but I do know that the idea that the whole bible is one infallible Christian book is laughable. There’s more Jewish books in the bible than Christian, and many Gospels weren’t even included in spite of that. Choices were made by men throughout the ages, so we even have a dozens of versions of the bible too.
@edadan2009 Don’t get me wrong. I’m not arguing that all of these scripture (including the ones included into the bible) are of the same order or of the same author, I’m merely using them all “for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”. What makes one acceptable to be called scripture while another isn’t, is a judgment of man, which is why mankind can never agree, why we wage holy war, and why there are dozens of bibles while God has but one Word.
You are deceived. And, you will die in your sins because you refuse to believe the truth. My hope and prayer is that others who read your nonsense will not be deceived as well.
@edadan2009 My dear brother, I have already died in my sins, and afterward was forced to confront the Truth. The Truth is no longer something I can believe in... I have met It, and beliefs requires a measure of uncertainty that certain knowledge, and better yet understanding, transcend. If your beliefs and your truth bring you peace, bring you closer to God, and lead you to Love God and your fellow man, then God bless you to go in peace. Beware of pride if not, for it has taken down far greater.

@JesusGodHolySpirit3 Thank you for for the compliment, support, and your recognition of God's hand in what happened to me that day. As for being cute, some might think me less so now that I lost about 60 pounds since then. As for being near, distance and seperation is just an illusion. For example, God supports and envelops every particle in existence, so we are all one in "Him". God is inseperable, yet "He" is in both your heart and mine. Finally, I'm not really sure it was a "rescue"... cont.
@JesusGodHolySpirit3 Every event and happening in my entire life both before and after this event was in God's plan for me, and I'm a far better person today for this very event. I think of it less as a rescue from a dangerous happening, and more as just pulling my head back out of the water after "He" baptised me to make me who I now am, and who I will become. Everything happens for a reason within God's plan, even the painful bits, so I don't see it as rescue... but as the start of my new life
DID YOU KNOW, people that suffer brain damage with there NDE dont ever report anything super natural? I wonder why? Maybe because the brain no longer has the capacity to dream.
@TamaNewb Interesting (and somewhat confusing) claim you make. Can you support it at all?
I’m confused for two reasons…
1) You claim “people that suffer brain damage with there NDE dont ever report anything super natural”, but that statement says they had a NDE, which I’m guessing is what you mean by “anything super natural”. There is actually nothing “supernatural” about NDEs, because death and everything that comes with it is perfectly natural.
@TamaNewb 2) I have met NDErs who had full blown NDEs, and had brain damage to some degree. A close friend of mine had five NDEs, and has moderate brain damage. He has great difficulty remembering things right after they happen and things that happened decades before, but all his NDEs spanning many years are still crystal clear to him. I have met others who have lesser brain damage, and still had NDEs. Where do you get your facts from?
@TamaNewb I think that you’re getting your data twisted with what you want it to say. It would be more accurate to say those that have NDEs are more likely to recover fully from damage they sustained in dying, including damage to the brain. The NDE seems to be linked in some way to accelerated and more complete healing of our bodies which science cannot explain. I’ve met dozens beyond myself (paralyzed right arm & severe nerve damage pain) who healed from permanent injury. Why not the brain too?
Hello. I don't understand how you can ask if I've started following a pied piper since it seems clear (to me) that I was suggesting that some of these alleged near-deathers could possibly be apostles of satan ... .
@guyNbluejeans I think my confusion stems from your posting about “these so-called NDExperiencers” on my video’s page, which could imply that I am such a piper, and hence an “apostle of satan”. Like I said, I’m trying not to take it personally, but it could be seen to be directed at me. My inquiry about whether you might be following a piper (not just the NDEr kind you mentioned) was an attempt to understand where this was coming from. It seems out-of-character. I'm concerned and confused.
Hell is a real place. satan is a real entity. Be most careful about these so-called NDExperiencers, as many of them are apostles of satan charged with the mission of duping people into their Pied Piper sham ... while marginalizing Jesus in order to have as many souls cast forever into hell with them!
@guyNbluejeans Hi M, are you okay? I haven’t talked with you in a while, but your entry here doesn’t sound much like the “guy” I remember. Is everything alright?
I’m not sure if you mean to imply that I am one of these ”apostles of satan”, or if I’m reading too much into a post on my video’s page, so I won’t take it personally. Besides, I did send you my disclaimer which clearly states that I am a fool and not to be followed… so have you started following a pied piper? This fool's confused.
@heyjudette Thank you for your kind assessment. I wasn’t always this way, but experiencing the infinite, unconditional Love that the whole Universe showers upon each of us personally every day during my NDE, has moved me to Love others in like manor. This was filmed in a room full of NDErs, so I was supported, enveloped, and affirmed by a collective field of Love from those present too, and much of your assessment should be credited to them as well. Thank you for being open to the Love.
yeah they seem to have the idea that there is a purpose but they don't know what it is. Always vague. "you have work to do" In the Bible they asked Jesus, "What do we do to do the works of God?" He said, "The work of God is this: To believe in the one He has sent" Maybe that is the purpose. But they can't be told in these NDE's because God gave us the whole truth already and the bible holds it. Is the purpose or work ever explained in these NDE's?
@helium7 the bible ancient history mixed with various intentional distortions about the immortality of consciousness.A book that has survived so long because of forced indoctrination of millions of people for no other reason than it serves ass a tool of control.Your going to get more fact from these witness testimonies then those other ones in the bible....if you really want to know about the bible read a book Thiaoouba Prophecy...
@helium73 vague for a reason, people need to both choose and discover it themselves and they can over time.Its like blaming a child that has not learned to walk, then offering them the bible as the way forward.You remind me of the blind leading the blind off a cliff....
@helium73 Some are given a purpose in their NDEs, others find it afterward (whether through discovery of what it always was, a choice of their own based on their own interpretation of their NDE, or just because they want to make a difference now, and don’t want to wait for the celestial memo), but many of us weren’t as blessed… or willing to presume God’s will for us. Sure, we help all as we can and try to make this world better, but that’s not quite enough to be what we call a purpose.
@helium73 When we say purpose, we aren’t just talking about works, even “the works of God” as in John 6:28 which you quote. No, the purpose we talk about is only a little closer to something from the preceding verse. In John 6:27, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal”. Jesus had the greatest purpose ever, but all have lesser assignments, all are sealed by God.
@helium73 I’m guessing you don’t care for this interpretation, but as I did say, it is only “a little closer“, than your reference to “the works of God”. We are vague in how we describe things, because earthly human words were not made in heaven, and the mind of God does not function as a mortal mind. We are doing our mortal, imperfect, human best, to translate True Reality to this artificial world, using the shallow and imperfect words and concepts from this shadow realm cast from God’s light.
@helium73 God is Truth just as God is Love, which is why I always capitalize those words when referring to their Devine meaning. Truth, the whole Truth, is infinite, and cannot be “wholly” contained in anything, including a holy book. The bible, like all creation, contains and reflects all of reality and all of Reality too. Yes, it’s alive as all is, but to believe it “holds” and contains that which is unholdable and uncontainable, confuses the book with our Creator. Commandments warn of such.
@GoosedByTheLight You're very right, a lot of "true believers" (and by this I mean they believe anything written on a piece of paper so they don't have to think) will look at you with this gormless expression on their face if you mention the Council of Nicea, where the decisions on what should be canon in the Bible and what needs to be thrown out were made. experts like to joke about Emperor Constantine being the 13th disciple. His goal was to control people basically, not raise them spiritually
@caffeinekatalyst Yes, and only in recent centuries/decades have some of those lost gospels resurfaced, since they were outlawed by Constantine, and hunted nearly to extinction by those who followed his agenda. To think that our modern view of the Christian bible contains so much more of Judaism than the original writings of the first Christians, all because the pagan emperor (his mother was the Christian) decreed them as false and dangerous, is almost comical. Still, we believe what we will.
sorry , meant to say good with or without candy. i want to clarify what i meant. we as christians are supposed to witness jesus love whether we feel like it or not.. its not optional. ie, "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature!" -- i dont need a NDE to prove that world exists! i beleive by faith and you need to put ur faith in Gods WORD not anything else.
@49128 I agree with much of what you wrote, but to some, I cannot. First and foremost (ironically) is your last statement “you need to put ur faith in Gods WORD not anything else”. I disagree with this. If we are to put our faith in one “thing”, and nothing else, it should be God Himself, and not an emanation. What is God’s Word, if we do not also honor the Source and Foundation of All? God precedes all, and should be paramount in our reverence, with no Gods before Him, including His Word.
we are not here just to have good times ALL the time. ie, a NDE --we are supposed to witness to people with or without these hapening to us or not. its liike the child sayin il only be god as long as u give me candy.
@49128 I’m sorry 49128, but to start, I’m not sure how you could equate “good times ALL the time” with a NDE. There is a deep and vast dark side to having a NDE which is ignored or unknown by those who have not had one, so your assessment is unfair. As for “witness[ing] to people with or without these hapening to us or not”… That is exactly why I‘m posting now, as always. As for the child who claims to be god in exchange for candy, are you critiquing organized religion?
steve, you say you dont know which direction to go. try jesus and take it from there. just ask jesus into ur heart and He will show u what direction to head.
i done it 37 yrs ago and i have lived in some 20 counrties on 3 continents and i am still doing the best i can to share the good news. read the parables of jesus if you want to know what that means. i wish you thre best.
@49128 I have been a Christian all my life, and by my own choice. My heart is filled with Gods Love, but still, the directions I receive are few and far between. I am glad to hear that this is working for you, but nothing I’m receiving, or have ever received, is as direct and undeniable as what I got through my NDE. I guess the surgeons might have brought me back too soon, before I got my orders, but I know that they don’t have the power to trump God’s will so ‘He’ must have been OK with it.
@GoosedByTheLight and while on the subject, claiming to be a Christian, what does that even mean?last time I looked we are all children of the Creator, each and every last one us.No need to appoint your self as a christian, as though that means something.Your on gods good side are you?..by being a Christian....
@starboy2013 Uh no, I’m on God’s good side (as ALL are), because God doesn’t have a bad side. I’m not sure what you seem to be taking offence to, but I suspect it’s a misunderstanding based on your comment. I agree that we are ALL “children of the Creator”, and no, there is no need to appoint oneself a Christian, or anything else for that matter, because God is Love, and this Love is completely unconditional. I’ve said it many times in many forums, but usually its other Christians who object.
@starboy2013 So why Christendom? Well first because Jesus never showed up in my NDE, and nothing in it directly and exclusively proved His existence, and beyond that, so much of His teaching was directly consistent with what I learned of God and the Universe through death… not the fear and judgment garbage, but what He actually and directly said. I believe that faith is important, so though I can no longer have faith in God’s existence after my NDE, I can still believe in Christ.
@starboy2013 When I say I’m a Christian, it doesn’t mean that I belong to a religion, because I believe the very concept of “belonging” to any earthly religion is somewhat blasphemous, because I only belong to God. Religions aren’t good or evil, only how they are used makes that difference. A religion that acts as a bridge to God is good, but so often that bridge has so many toll booths on it, it acts as more of a wall between us and God, and takes the place of our Creator.
@starboy2013 I don’t care any more than God, which religion, faith, or processes one uses to reach God, because the bridge is not supposed to be the destination. If someone says it matters, they are likely kneeling before a bridge and treating it as an idol. You can’t get to the True God that way, as It isn’t contained in any religion, scripture, or mortal mind. I chose a bridge I could have faith in and one which speaks to me to lead me to God. Why do you think that I think that it matters?
@GoosedByTheLight cool, what I wrote was fired up and pretty direct and I hear what you are saying and it makes sense so all good and for the most part I agree...:-).
@starboy2013 Sorry for being away so long, I started a new job.
Though we don’t often converse, I have followed enough of your posts here to know that our views aren’t completely dissimilar, so I immediately knew that there was likely a misunderstanding. I do try to be clear in meaning, but sometimes I fail, especially due to speaking to Christians as a Christian, scientists scientifically, or Atheists/cynics skeptically. Others often read into my meaning based on their steriotypes of these..
@GoosedByTheLight Yeah, I guess, I think we are to caught up in what each others thinks as a pose to what is.You know?...People have all these notions, beliefs system and they want people to think like them.So I guess you know..you`ve been there..you now have that.Most don`t...I know to ..but I have not died yet...can`t wait till I do though I`m gunner kick off this skin and catch up with some old friends...:-).The thing I want to say to you is, if they don`t understand you...it`s o.k..:-).
@GoosedByTheLight Hey it's me again, say I'm trying to find some good responses to people who say that ndes are due to DMT, a chemical that is released by the brain during birth, death, and dreaming. People can also obtain DMT in drug form, ingest it, and have similar experiences. Have you ever come across this claim and do you know of anything that disproves it? Thank you for your time.
@cubeus19 My answer to the claim that DMT can cause NDEs, is the same as for the claim that they can be caused by the Koren helmet. These are changing the brain’s normal functions, but the NDE does not take place in the brain, but beyond its “normal functions”. As I said to you earlier, I believe that induced mag fields, drugs, EM “stimulation”, and all such, are inhibiting the brains ability to run its ego program, and the ego restricts our perceptions of our surroundings and reality.
@cubeus19 As the magnetic field dampens the brain’s normal electrical activity, hence the program which it is running, and therefore limiting the egos ability to filter our perceptions (which it does 24/7), DMT and many other drugs do the same through chemical inhibition. Again, such inhibitions of normal brain activity fall far short of the total brain death of a NDE, so reducing the brains influence over us will share similarities with totally stopping it, but it’s not the same, nor the cause.
@cubeus19 That is based on my own understanding, which I got in part from having died, and in doing so, removing my brain and ego from the equation entirely. Persinger and others who claim a physical material cause, be it EM or chem, are completely missing the point… directly due to their ego’s involvement in forcing the equation to deliver the solution they want or expect to find. DMT is only a stopgap excuse, one of many, to patch the many holes in their materialist’s paradigm.
@cubeus19 As far as these excuses go however, DMT is the best one that I’ve heard, by far. It explains more of the symptoms of a NDE (not the NDE itself, mind you) than many others, and its natural presence in the body means that it doesn’t make a laughable claim like we had when they were saying that Ketamine or other drugs/chemicals were the universal cause, even when not consumed. They are just coming to their conclusions by tracing backward from what they want to find.
@cubeus19 They state unsupported facts, like that it is common knowledge or even a proven fact that DMT is released at death, but I have found no clinical, scientific, or any medical study which supports this assertion, and none of more than a dozen people who have told me this could support the claim in any way. It’s just empty rhetoric being delivered with bravado, to bully the listener into believing their self-proclaimed authority. Unfortunately, many have been fooled.
this man just exposed the complete and udder lack of the concept of emergency medicine that has become our medical system. i trust no doctor because they are trained to see only what is orthodox to social esoteric acceptance which is none,they see people as subjects and not humans. Iv never heard a story about how a doctor has cured anything..the healing always comes from loving support of others and the strong will to live.doctors just generate revenue by collecting insurance and pushing drugs.
@NWM11Bravo Yes, our healthcare system is definitely broken, but the doctors themselves are not the cause. As you point out, the problem comes from their training, and in educational systems in general. Most doctors enter their field with a sincere desire to help people, but the training leads them to view each patient as a problem to be solved so they can move on to the next. So many fields train their members to be reactionary and treat symptoms, but not just in medicine.
@SabretoothSnowMan “I just hope you don't trying doing things that make him decide to get you to leave.”
Okay, I admit, I got no idea what you’re talking about. If there is some action that I could take to let me out of my contract, that would “make him decide to get [me] to leave”, then I don’t know what it could be. I’m in this life for the long haul, not for me, but for you and others. I was there, complete in myself, but my work wasn’t done so I came back. Please let the seperation go.
Oh I forget to add; do think about it that way; otherwise God will ensure that he is clear is denying you of your rights; that way he will have you right where he wants you, by making you want to stay by the method I just mentioned.
@SabretoothSnowMan I admit that I am a little confused by this, because I have spent a great deal of time and gone through much trouble to intentionally try to be exactly where God wants me. If it was as easy to be where God wants me as you depict, then what have I been doing wrong? My rights? What rights do I have that are not God given? Then you say “by making you want to stay by the method I just mentioned” and I don’t know what you mean by this.
@SabretoothSnowMan I admit that I was hurt by not being allowed to stay in heaven, but there is no anger in hindsight. In the years following the filming of this video, I have come to accept that there was good reason for me to be sent back here… and I have no reason to believe that this is a permanent assignment. Also, heaven is not just a place, it is the fruition of existence. All becomes whole and complete there. Hell is not heaven delayed, but heaven denied... acceptance of the lesser.
Beautiful story. May God increase the peace in your soul. You may want to look up Humza Yusuf and his story about converting to Islam. It may be useful to you. He had a near death experience which changed his outlook on life. You may find knowledge in his wisdom.
@raprazant Thank you for your kind words. I've made a note of Humza Yusuf, and will do some research on him soon. I find it so beautiful that many people from so many religions have been lead to the one God, and I know that we are all His children, regardless of what set of beliefs had brought us to Him. Thank you in advance for sharing the story of Humza Yusuf with me, and as I learn from him and his story, I will be living in gratitude to you.
It occurs to me that your coming back has saved your brother from a murder charge and your actions have shed a lot of grace and love where there would perhaps have been much darkness and confusion. So thank you again for returning and sharing yourself.
@garyz777 Thank you again, but the graceful light I share is only entrusted to me, and I am not its source. As for my brother, coming back to all the pain is the least I could do to repay him for sharing the light and Love with me. If the book “Courageous Souls” is right (I‘m not sure), he volunteered to enter this world and sacrifice his sanity and happiness, perhaps to share Love and understanding with me. Whether or not this was his choice, I am grateful to him.
Thank you for sharing yourself in such an intimate way. You have such a wonderful spirit and I found myself tearing while you were sharing your experience. I realized that I feel a lot like you in not knowing my purpose and finding targets for my anger that aren't their real source. I found myself praying for you to find your purpose but I realized that just being you and sharing yourself with the world as you feel led is a lot of it. The world is a much better place for you being in it.
@garyz777 Thank you for your kindness and trust by sharing. I don’t think that my situation is any different from anyone else’s, as we are all trying to make our own place in this world that seems so alien to our Loving source. The loss we feel due to our apparent separation from that infinite Love can sometimes cause us to lash out at others, but we need to remember that they too are feeling our pain. Thank you for the blessing of your prayers, as I send mine to you too.
That's very interesting, what you've said about not having a choice. I experienced that when I visited that place while I wasn't dead. I still can't understand why I came back with no conscious say so. I've also experienced a choice when I was dying, but I couldn't remember my life at the time - had I remembered, I doubt I'd have come back. Later I experienced being given a choice to go and deciding to stay. So, I think it's our greater wisdom that keeps us here, whatever form that takes.
@TheGiantRobot Sorry, I don’t know Christine, but if you think her videos are worthwhile, I’ll look her up. I guess you could say I have found my purpose by default. I’ve spent years trying to smooth relations between experiencers, religious, and the science minded (very few would I call actual scientists), so I’m guessing that the little progress I’ve made is indicating that I may be on the right track. I suppose it is valuable, and it definitely seems to suit my interests, if not my talents.
@TheGiantRobot You may be right. What I offer from my NDE relative this question is even the tiniest event happens with purpose. Everything fits in The Grand Scheme of Things, so I suspect The Grand Scheme of Things trumps our choices, based on limited understanding, to bring greater benefit to All. I suspect if you weren’t given a choice, it’s because you still have a part to play to help others on their journey. If you were given a choice, it is because you were trusted to make the right one.
@fisherman1955 Thank you for your kind words fisherman, deserved or not. I risk calling to order a meeting of the mutual admiration society, but I am touched by your gentle admiration. This clip was filmed at the first conference of Near Death Experiencers that I ever attended and I was being showered in Love from all in attendance, and I was reflecting that love back to all. You have received that Love in the spirit that it was given, and now you too are reflecting it again. Thank you for this.
These people are examples of the problems caused by reproducing in a shallow gene pool. Other times in history where people faced similar neurological and biological problems are the descendents of mountain people in Appalachia where in breeding was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
@cunnidvd you don't need to fret about CCR, he's a spammer that I have been trying to reason with for almost a week and he never even reads what I write before judging and condemning me. I told him three times that I'm a Christian, and as of yesterday, he was still calling me a Christian hater. When someone refuses to listen at all, they are impossible to reason with. I think his account is closed now anyway.
Yeah, I get that a lot. I was actually last of a dozen on the panel in a room full of experiencers when this was filmed. I didn't describe my NDE at the time because I didn't want to repeat what others said, & because I already talked to half the people present about it already. To be honest, my fear of public speaking gave me tunnel vision (pun intended) & I forgot about the camera. You can see that I kept forgetting about the mic at the beginning too & kept getting reminded from off camera.
@NinetiesYouth You are right of course, but I was also using my own pain and anger as a metaphor to convey something more universal too. I believe that we are all born into this world from that one, going from infinite Love and Unity, to the smack on the bottom that entering this world can be in so many ways. We all “Know” this experience at a deep, soul level, and we often spend our lives trying to recapture that perfection here, to fill the hole that “leaving” It leaves.
@NinetiesYouth Because of our shared origin in our perfect Creator, we are all moved by beauty, by humor, by “rightness”, by belonging, and by so many wonderful things that resonate with that deep memory. Because it is now hidden from us however, we can be bitter, angry, lonely, and resentful for its apparent loss as well. I lived that upon my return, feeling again the perfection and beauty being wrenched away as I returned to this mortal shell.
@NinetiesYouth I think that just as I used my brother as a scapegoat to carry away the pain of the fresh loss of Perfection, others do this too from the old, deep memories, because they too don’t remember the Perfection and Beauty consciously, only feeling the hole left by the loss of the Whole. I believe this is much of the source of man’s inhumanity to man, as we lash-out, exploit, judge, and blame those around us because they are less than the Perfection we long for.
@NinetiesYouth In our separation/isolation, we paint images of the Greater World outside on the inside of our mortal shells (minds) for comfort, but we remember only snippets of the Whole. The pictures we paint are sometimes bitter and dark, often composed of fear and judgment, but that is mostly because it is painted on the very shell of isolation itself, and maybe a little bit of sour grapes too (as we lessen what we lack). So it was with me.
@NinetiesYouth Shoved back into my shell, the Beautiful memory of what was beyond it had been left behind, but I retained the discomfort, pain, and sense of loss/betrayal. In my isolation again, I painted them onto my brother because it was the only place I could find that was believable, even as I knew that it didn’t fit. My dear friend dissolved my shell however, by speaking to me through it, thinning it enough to allow my memories to rush in and shatter it completely.
@NinetiesYouth I realized then that I was not the shell, and the world which I had been projecting onto it all my life was not the real world… only a foolish caricature of it, made from my pain projected upon my isolation. Over the months and years which followed, the shell has returned, but now I am mindful to paint with the pallet of the true reality… replacing pain and judgment with Love and Unity. Beyond our individual shells of solitude, we are ALL still One.
@WildBill6942 Thank you again my brother and my friend. I did want to be clear that I am in the same sort of shell as everyone else, and I feel the same isolation that surrounds them too, but when we paint with Love and gratitude, the inside is no longer vastly different from the outside, and we are closer to the Truth around us even when we don’t see It directly. In being closer to the wholeness which surrounds us, we are also closer to others who also share in that Oneness.
@GoosedByTheLight -- You're welcome my friend. I'm just curious, since your experience do you feel you have an increased intuitiveness or are hyper-sensitive in any way to things around you that you weren't before? Have you had any dreams or spiritual connections with the other side since your experience?
Did I ever send you the links to my written account of my NDE? I thought that I had, but I might be confused. I can include 1&2 if you would like to read them, but in part 3 of this account, I mention all the aftereffects…
In this, I don’t mention dreams, because both before and after having a NDE, I rarely remember them. That is one of the few areas of my lives which was left unchanged.
@WildBill6942 As I often say, I am but a fool and no more special than any other. I was shown what I was by my experience, as if I was led on a leash by a Power far greater than myself, and that power still instills great awe in me. I am also greatly moved by meeting others who have found these truths on their own, without having to be led by the nose as I was. You sir, are awesome. You seem to get it, without having to have The-Powers-That-Be rub your nose in it. Kudos to you and all of yours.
@GoosedByTheLight -- thanks for the kind words. I only wish I could've experienced what you did, of course without all the trauma it took for you to get there. I always find it odd how some people on here have a difficult time separating God from religion. I'm a Christian yet I also believe that you can't take everything you read in the Bible literally. If people could just get past the disagreements of who's version of Jesus is better than the others or who's God is better, we'd be better off.
@NinetiesYouth Back to my point… I believe that we’re ALL experiencers of the True Reality, we’ve ALL been One and are still and ever One, even as the murals of our own crafting stand between us. As my siblings lash out at me, I am aware that I am not their target, but the image of me that they have erected upon the face of their isolation. I understand and empathize with them, because I too feel cut-off from the Wholeness, and it is still very freshly painted upon my isolation.
@GoosedByTheLight --- hey S, are they having another NDE Conference again this year? Looking forward to hearing more near-death testimonies. Keep doing what you're doing... even though at times I'm sure it gets frustrating.
@WildBill6942 Yes T, this year’s conference will be held in Durham NC on Sept 2-4, as per the IANDS.org website. The keynote speakers will be Raymond Moody, Bruce Greyson, and Eben Alexander, and they will be joined by other wonderful presenters including P.M.H. Atwater (such a sweetheart). I hope that Bill is going again as well, and he brings his camera of course.
It does get frustrating and exhausting, but I take a break to tap the Love and light, and my patience is restored anew.
Looking at my comment I think maybe I should explain myself. To me the most important part of your story is that you couldn't understand why you felt so angry, bereft, rejected. So you did the human thing and projected blame onto your brother. I think this is key for all of us. Whether or not we have an NDE, we somehow, somewhere have that memory of love, and can't understand why it was "withdrawn" when in truth the choice (unbelievably) was ours to come here. We all do what you did: project.
It touches me that I touched you. Every time I tell this story it seems to come out differently, but I always try to include that part where the pain evaporated. Some ask how or where I got the strength to forgive and don't understand when I tell them that I never had to. When I re-experienced the Love and the light by finally remembering, all negatives were released by that Love and not by me. All I had to do was to get myself and my ego out of the way and let the Love heal me.
So are you suggesting that it is love in general, or specifically the unconditional and infinite Love of our Source that we all project from the "loss" of? If you mean the latter, then that is an interesting concept that I'll need to think about. So when you say we all "project", how do you mean that? I'm intrigued and ideas are flowing from your words, but I just want to stop and make sure that I'm not just running off on my own, and that I'm actually following your meaning. either way, thanks!
It's the latter... that we all feel abandoned, bereft and endangered because somewhere in our minds we hold the memory of our true home (the Love of our Source) and we feel subconsciously "cast out." We can't figure out why we feel this way, so we turn to our fellow humans and blame them in one way or another. We believe we are in competition for Love, in some way. We believe we have to "earn our way back."
And as you say, if we could shift our focus away from the ego (the human, fear-identified mind), the memory would relieve us of any need to "forgive" in the usual human sense. It would be similar to becoming lucid in a dream, knowing that in truth no matter what scary thing seems to be happening, we are safe at home in bed. Whenever we blame our fellow humans for anything, we are, in a sense, making the dream real, rather than waking up. Nothing "wrong" with this, but it increases suffering.
I'd like to say that I haven't responded because I was deep in thought about what you wrote, but the truth is that I was off-line for a month. My being deep in thought over your words made little diference. Now that I'm back (actually I have been for a few days now, sorry) I wanted to let you know that your explanation both explains a lot and rings true. It is odd that what reminded me to finally answer you was when a friend said nearly the same thing to me two days ago. Great minds think alike.
This was extremely helpful to me. Your story of misplaced anger explained something to me that I hadn't understood about myself. To me it seems obvious that you are fulfilling your purpose, just by being yourself. Thank you so much.
That is the default answer that I have come to. I believe that we are all sent here to help others which I try hard to do, but I also believe that we each have some purpose that unique to ourselves, some purpose that calls to our particular soul if we know to listen. If I was to just continue to help others, I think that I might still get a passing grade in the class on life, but I don't want to risk having to take this class again. My NDE tells me that my purpose goes beyond this.
You've obviously thought long and hard about this. I have too, and whilst I don't do anything major to help others I do feel slightly wasteful knowing that this is probably the means by which I will judge my life's worth. I think even small charitable acts can make a difference, but I agree that its probably not enough if you think service to others is important. I hope I will try and do more later when I have more time. I'm not too concerned about which area I choose as long as I do something!
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in what I last wrote, what I meant to say is that we are all unique and vital to creation and that we all have a part to play in the world that no other soul can fill in for. The difference that we make could be as simple as being in the right place at the right time to encourage Love in another, or as great as to reshape all of reality. I did not mean to say that helping others is any less important or less profound, only that it may not be our unique purpose.
You and I both were created with a purpose in life, and if I was to live as a self centered bastard, you might make up for my failings in regards to kindness and helping others, but there will still be my unique purpose that noone but I can accomplish. Most of the help that we can offer others is as simple as a smile or a kind word, and that alone can change the world. I do believe that service to others is important, but I believe that you yourself are more importand than any service alone.
I do try my best to help anyone in need, but I can't shake the feeling there is something else that I am meant to do. It is not more important, only that it is unique to me. Am I meant to write a book to nurture understanding in others that no other could find the words for? Am I to start an organizatuon with my unique insights? or introduce two friends who change the world? or save a life? or father a child? or overcome hardship to inspire others? Each example is unique, but none less worthy.
You manifested unconditional love when you forgave your brother and released the hurt, hate, and anger. Your Love and LIght within(reinforced by the NDE) could not hold any negative energies so you were blessed and freed to be your beautiful loving, awesome self. You are a wonderful soul shining with sweet humor, and a humbleness that is very endearing. Thanks for sharing and being here still. XOXOX Gisl
I'm sorry that it has taken a week to get on here and check for comments, especially now that I see that I missed you. I don't take credit for being strong or enlightened in forgiving, all I did was surrender to the Love and the Light... but you know that already don't you?
Thank you for the kindness of your post and for being such a wonderful example of the unconditional Love that I have such trouble describing to others who have difficulty sensing it for themselves.
Hello again Gisl, I was just getting on here again to address any new posts, but I have found that yours is still the most recent. I hope that you don't mind that I am responding to you again, but I am trying to make it clear that there are some of us that have been in the light and are still here to tell of it. I blame new years after all, but those that need help I trust will find it. Until then, I will wait.
Steve, you are a delight. I've heard quite a few of these stories, but here I am on my day off wandering into YouTube to hear more. What does that say about me?
You're a very funny guy - sorry about your brother. You truly have a loving attitude about your brother. That is what real love is about.
Schizophrenia is cruel; I've seen so much harm come from this devastating illness. Great video
P.S. When I say "oops" I make sure my patients are asleep.
To me, it says you have questions that go beyond answers that medical training can offer. I applaud you for continuing your search.
Nearly all NDEs leave the experiencer with a profoundly changed concept of Love. Often, as in my case, we come to believe that Love is God, and God is all that truely is. My Love goes well beyond my brother and includes you too.
Schizophrenia is a difficult burden, but it is just a physical and chemical flaw and it is not who they truely are. Cont.
Our bodies & minds are just clothing our true selves wear. Schizophrenia (& drugs, alcohol, injury, & other illness) can corrupt ones paradigm & cause them to harm themselves & others, but that is just the illness & not themselves. I Love all my siblings throughout the world for who they are, & I don't care about the packaging that they come in... even if the packaging is hurtful to me.
Always a good idea to let the "oops" fall on deaf ears... but remember dead ears are not always deaf ;).
I guess you won't understand it, unless you experience yourself. This is quite the story, being stabbed by your own brother. I wouldn't made minced meat out my brother he stabbed me.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Not counting the three days where the morphine kept me asleep, I spent the three days that followed being very angry with my brother. I forgave him not from any strength or virtue of my own, but because when I finally remembered my NDE, the light that I experienced burned away all the negative feelings. I believe that I was allowed to steep in it for nearly a week to help me to feel compassion for my siblings who live their lives in angst before I was delivered from it

i seemed to be feeling or experiencing other peoples memories. I remember seeing tatoo like marks on my finger nails. MY hands were shaking uncontrolably like thousands of volts of electric were going through them. I beleive i used mind over matter to come back to life. IT as though i had to make a choice. Maybe it could of been the effects of bad drugs but perhaps i died form some kind of poison and came back to life. I just had this strong feeling i had died and i was somewhere else

I experienced something when i was pressured into taking some dodgy lsd which could well of been anything or poison. All i remember is this place whch was a state of mental conciousness and some kind of mental prison with no physical feeling. IT was wierd it was kind of based on spiritual turns and i remember drifting in and out of this place. I'm convinced i died and came back to life. It seemed to be memories of many different life events. i seemed to be feeling how other people had died

It's interesting to me, every now and then I come back and watch your video, because I find myself missing your energy and sense of humble humor. That sounds strange, and kind of stalkerish, so I hope you take it in the spirit in which it was intended - I'm happily settled and have no energy for stalking XD. I just wanted to let you know that your story and demeanor are a pleasant lift to my mood. I think you're wise not to make the assumptions and proclamations that other people wish you would.
caffeinekatalyst 3 months ago
@caffeinekatalyst Lol, thank you very much. I’m careful to never add anything to my experience which wasn't part of it, and also cautious just when interpreting it too. Both these actions would be of me in this world overwriting something greater from the other, just to add earthly context and force it to fit our limited understanding. I would rather just hint at the tiny portion of Truth I actually experienced, than extrapolate and proselytize about my beliefs on what it meant
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight I think you are taking the right approach, and I'm saying that as a Christian. If I heard a testimony full of "Christian-ese", I would be less likely to believe the validity of it. Why? Because they may be moving from the realm of simply relaying what they experienced into what they believe and hope. Two different things. I want to hear the experience, so I appreciate your stand very much.
mearokus 2 months ago
@mearokus Thank you for your feedback. I did experience a portion of Truth, but I was not given all the answers, so I think that it would be irresponsible to overwrite my own conclusions atop what was essentially a divinely initiated message. It was about Love, all about Love, and God is Love. I can say that since the NDE, I did a lot of research on many religions and still came to embrace Christianity as the closest to my view of Truth, but I’d never judge another for disagreeing.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight I have been reading a lot about NDEs the past couple of months and am now most of the way through Dr. Ring's Lessons from the Light. This information has been very eye opening to me, to say the least. The credibility of the people's testimony and the consistency of the stories tells me there is very much something spiritual going on. In fact, I am having to reevaluate some things. I'm still not sure what to make of Hell, since some people seem to have NDEs
mearokus 2 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight For example, is Hell a permanent place/condition or does it even exist at all? Some people supposedly have experienced it as an NDE. Also, what about reincarnation? Were all of us in "heaven" prior to our birth on this earth? These are some questions I'm having now, and it's a huge change from my traditional Christian upbringing. I think what will happen is that, similar to you, I will tend to be much more open minded and less dogmatic about my faith.
mearokus 2 months ago
@mearokus Hell is a tricky subject for me. In my NDE, I felt connected to everything and felt that All was One, separation was an illusion, and that every part of existence was important and irreplaceable to the Whole. I did not sense a “place” we would call hell through the connection. I also sensed that God truly was everywhere and all Loving in a totally unconditional way. I KNOW that these things are true, and it is not based on just beliefs.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@mearokus I also know many NDErs who experienced “hell” however, and I believe that what they experienced was real too, and their telling of their experiences is often in line with both scripture and the common views on hell. How can both these pictures be true? I think that the confusion stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what “hell” is. I believe it is not a “place” of “punishment”, but a self imposed “state” of “separation”.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@mearokus If hell is a place and God is everywhere, then God must be in hell too. If God is perfect Love and all of creation is necessary/irreplaceable, then God wouldn’t punish the whole for the sins of any part…etc.
No, I don’t believe it's a place and don’t believe that we are sent there, I believe that hell is just a direct result of free will acting on the plasticity of the environment that we know as the afterlife. We choose hell and judge/punish ourselves, usually inadvertently.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@mearokus I believe hell is more about how we die, than how we lived, and there are a few factors which can cause us to choose that path. As just one example from my own NDE, I can tell you that we can hide nothing from the mind of God. Our souls are more than just open books, we are completely transparent to “His” gaze. I might have retracted from this complete Knowing if I had not first sensed the unconditional Love which came with it. I felt naked, but also accepted, flaws and all.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@mearokus Had I been aware of being naked in that garden before I realized that I was loved just as I was, I too might have tried to withdraw and hide myself. That is what I believe hell is, a turning inward as a rejection of everything outside of oneself. Including God Again, this example is only one of many triggers for such a withdrawal, along with our beliefs, guilt, fear, confusion, etc. All is One, All is Love, and separation is a comforting lie that we can chose to hide in.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@mearokus These are just my beliefs and what I've come up with to explain the disparity between these views regarding the existence of hell in relation to what I was shown to be true. It was not told/given to me from on high, just reasoned by me while I have been back based on logic, scripture, distressing NDEs, and all else I could find on the subject. Please take it with a grain of salt, because I know I'm just a fool trying to make sense of something beyond my ability to fathom.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight It's the old God of Love, God of Wrath thing that is hard to understand. The NDEs that I've heard regarding the life review make sense though. The "hell" would be having to relive our entire lives over again, this time through the lives of those we've hurt. Actually feel the pain we've inflicted upon them. That might be hell enough! But infinite punishment for a finite sin is hard for me to understand. Again, I say that as a Christian. God knows and His justice is perfect.
mearokus 2 months ago
@mearokus Many early religions would anthropomorphize God/gods, and Judaism was no exception. We often confuse God being made in our image, with us being made in God’s image. There’s a difference which is oft-overlooked. I believe the belief in God’s vengeance stems from a need to explain natural forces which were beyond early man’s understanding, and many Christians adhere to the idea, because they confuse old Jewish concepts with Christianity because they both share the same bible.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight I think you make a good point (theory) that maybe we inflict this hell upon ourselves. Could be. I could certainly see that happening in the life review. It is all a very interesting topic, life changing really, the further one delves into it. My approach over the years is to be especially forgiving of others so that I will be forgiven my sins. Try to approach things with a more humble spirit, realizing I'm not better than anyone else.
mearokus 2 months ago
@mearokus I agree, the life review makes perfect sense, but we don’t just relive the pain we caused, but also the Love and inspiration we gave as well. It can be akin to both heaven and hell, always fitting our life’s actions and choices. As for the distressing NDEs version of hell, there’s good reason to question if that is ever eternal. Most frightening NDEs change for the better part way through, usually after the experiencer stops fighting/trusts something greater than themselves.
GoosedByTheLight 2 months ago
@caffeinekatalyst That would make the NDE about me, when I feel that I’m just the caretaker of the NDE to share it with All. I do look at the experience through different filters of beliefs and concepts of this world to try to make sense of it, but only as through filters and not by painting it directly. I try very hard to keep the subject itself pristinely free of such beliefs and opinions while I play with these concepts, but some tied to the concepts find this threatening.

So many NDE testimonies about "the light" with no mention of Jesus Christ.
"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." (2 Cor 11:14)
Jesus is the answer. He is the ONLY way to the Father in Heaven. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent, obey and be saved!

@edadan2009 NDEs aren’t works of fiction we can edit to include aspects that were not actually in them. I will not bear false witness, especially in Jesus’ name. If Jesus wanted me to mention Him when I talk about my NDE, then He would have at least appeared in it, if not told me to directly. I share what was and what is, and not what I would have wanted it to be or what I thought it should be. We aren’t talking about religion or beliefs at all, but a real experience of just part of Truth.

@GoosedByTheLight
You don't have to "edit" your experience. But, can't you give glory to God and tell others about Jesus Christ? Didn't Jesus die to give eternal life to those who would believe? You have a unique opportunity to tell others about Jesus - don't waste it.
edadan2009 3 months ago
@edadan2009 When I speak about my NDE, whether on TV, radio, the internet, or in person, I speak about my experience, and not my beliefs. My beliefs are irrelevant in comparison to an actual and very real communion with our Creator, and this experience is already erroneously believed to be related to religions by far too many. There is no point in mentioning beliefs, when the reality of what actually happened was so much greater and more meaningful.

Do you believe the Bible is God's Word?
edadan2009 3 months ago
@edadan2009 If you really want to discus my beliefs, then no. I believe that Christ is the Word of God, the emanation of our Father, which gives all things form. God creates through Christ, and since the time of Adam, mankind can only label, name, and describe what our Creator gives us through “His Word”. The labels and descriptions may be composed of words, but they are the words of man, and not the Word of God. The bible is our guide and our history, but not our Savior.

@edadan2009 Well the Bible says many things and you can't treat it like a buffet, you'll take one part of it as true, but not hold true to the other parts. It's man made, God may have had a part in it but people wrote it, humans with human ideas and human prejudices and influences wrote it. It's not infallible.

@edadan2009 God inspires scripture. I’ll go that far. The idea that the bible is one infallible Christian book is erroneous. It does not have one author. It wasn’t even written by one religion or in one millennium. It is a collection of many books from Christendom and Judaism, Written and translated through Hebrew, Greek, Latin… and what made it into the collection was definitely decided by us, whether Nicene or Carthaginian Councils, or other forums of men.

@edadan2009 What’s your opinion of the Apocrypha? Of the Dead Sea Scrolls? The Nag Hamadi Library? The Jewish Tanakh with the Torah? The Talmud or Midrash? Of even the Quran or the Book of Mormon? Which would you consider to be on par with any book in the collection we call the bible? If “All Scripture is God-breathed”, then why are these scriptures not included (excepting the ones that are, but in differing forms of course) but others are?

@edadan2009 These are all scripture flowing from the line of El. The father god within the pantheon of Syria which broke away to become the one God of Judaism? I don’t know, but I do know that the idea that the whole bible is one infallible Christian book is laughable. There’s more Jewish books in the bible than Christian, and many Gospels weren’t even included in spite of that. Choices were made by men throughout the ages, so we even have a dozens of versions of the bible too.

@edadan2009 Don’t get me wrong. I’m not arguing that all of these scripture (including the ones included into the bible) are of the same order or of the same author, I’m merely using them all “for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”. What makes one acceptable to be called scripture while another isn’t, is a judgment of man, which is why mankind can never agree, why we wage holy war, and why there are dozens of bibles while God has but one Word.

DID YOU KNOW, people that suffer brain damage with there NDE dont ever report anything super natural? I wonder why? Maybe because the brain no longer has the capacity to dream.
TamaNewb 8 months ago
@TamaNewb Interesting (and somewhat confusing) claim you make. Can you support it at all?
I’m confused for two reasons…
1) You claim “people that suffer brain damage with there NDE dont ever report anything super natural”, but that statement says they had a NDE, which I’m guessing is what you mean by “anything super natural”. There is actually nothing “supernatural” about NDEs, because death and everything that comes with it is perfectly natural.
GoosedByTheLight 8 months ago
@TamaNewb 2) I have met NDErs who had full blown NDEs, and had brain damage to some degree. A close friend of mine had five NDEs, and has moderate brain damage. He has great difficulty remembering things right after they happen and things that happened decades before, but all his NDEs spanning many years are still crystal clear to him. I have met others who have lesser brain damage, and still had NDEs. Where do you get your facts from?
GoosedByTheLight 8 months ago
@TamaNewb I think that you’re getting your data twisted with what you want it to say. It would be more accurate to say those that have NDEs are more likely to recover fully from damage they sustained in dying, including damage to the brain. The NDE seems to be linked in some way to accelerated and more complete healing of our bodies which science cannot explain. I’ve met dozens beyond myself (paralyzed right arm & severe nerve damage pain) who healed from permanent injury. Why not the brain too?

yeah they seem to have the idea that there is a purpose but they don't know what it is. Always vague. "you have work to do" In the Bible they asked Jesus, "What do we do to do the works of God?" He said, "The work of God is this: To believe in the one He has sent" Maybe that is the purpose. But they can't be told in these NDE's because God gave us the whole truth already and the bible holds it. Is the purpose or work ever explained in these NDE's?

@helium73 Some are given a purpose in their NDEs, others find it afterward (whether through discovery of what it always was, a choice of their own based on their own interpretation of their NDE, or just because they want to make a difference now, and don’t want to wait for the celestial memo), but many of us weren’t as blessed… or willing to presume God’s will for us. Sure, we help all as we can and try to make this world better, but that’s not quite enough to be what we call a purpose.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@helium73 When we say purpose, we aren’t just talking about works, even “the works of God” as in John 6:28 which you quote. No, the purpose we talk about is only a little closer to something from the preceding verse. In John 6:27, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal”. Jesus had the greatest purpose ever, but all have lesser assignments, all are sealed by God.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@helium73 I’m guessing you don’t care for this interpretation, but as I did say, it is only “a little closer“, than your reference to “the works of God”. We are vague in how we describe things, because earthly human words were not made in heaven, and the mind of God does not function as a mortal mind. We are doing our mortal, imperfect, human best, to translate True Reality to this artificial world, using the shallow and imperfect words and concepts from this shadow realm cast from God’s light.

@helium73 God is Truth just as God is Love, which is why I always capitalize those words when referring to their Devine meaning. Truth, the whole Truth, is infinite, and cannot be “wholly” contained in anything, including a holy book. The bible, like all creation, contains and reflects all of reality and all of Reality too. Yes, it’s alive as all is, but to believe it “holds” and contains that which is unholdable and uncontainable, confuses the book with our Creator. Commandments warn of such.

I agree that we are ALL “children of the Creator”, and no, there is no need to appoint oneself a Christian, or anything else for that matter, because God is Love, and this Love is completely unconditional. I’ve said it many times in many forums, but usually its other Christians who object.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@starboy2013 So why Christendom? Well first because Jesus never showed up in my NDE, and nothing in it directly and exclusively proved His existence, and beyond that, so much of His teaching was directly consistent with what I learned of God and the Universe through death… not the fear and judgment garbage, but what He actually and directly said. I believe that faith is important, so though I can no longer have faith in God’s existence after my NDE, I can still believe in Christ.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@starboy2013 When I say I’m a Christian, it doesn’t mean that I belong to a religion, because I believe the very concept of “belonging” to any earthly religion is somewhat blasphemous, because I only belong to God. Religions aren’t good or evil, only how they are used makes that difference. A religion that acts as a bridge to God is good, but so often that bridge has so many toll booths on it, it acts as more of a wall between us and God, and takes the place of our Creator.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@starboy2013 I don’t care any more than God, which religion, faith, or processes one uses to reach God, because the bridge is not supposed to be the destination. If someone says it matters, they are likely kneeling before a bridge and treating it as an idol. You can’t get to the True God that way, as It isn’t contained in any religion, scripture, or mortal mind. I chose a bridge I could have faith in and one which speaks to me to lead me to God. Why do you think that I think that it matters?

@GoosedByTheLight Hey it's me again, say I'm trying to find some good responses to people who say that ndes are due to DMT, a chemical that is released by the brain during birth, death, and dreaming. People can also obtain DMT in drug form, ingest it, and have similar experiences. Have you ever come across this claim and do you know of anything that disproves it? Thank you for your time.
cubeus19 10 months ago
@cubeus19 My answer to the claim that DMT can cause NDEs, is the same as for the claim that they can be caused by the Koren helmet. These are changing the brain’s normal functions, but the NDE does not take place in the brain, but beyond its “normal functions”. As I said to you earlier, I believe that induced mag fields, drugs, EM “stimulation”, and all such, are inhibiting the brains ability to run its ego program, and the ego restricts our perceptions of our surroundings and reality.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@cubeus19 As the magnetic field dampens the brain’s normal electrical activity, hence the program which it is running, and therefore limiting the egos ability to filter our perceptions (which it does 24/7), DMT and many other drugs do the same through chemical inhibition. Again, such inhibitions of normal brain activity fall far short of the total brain death of a NDE, so reducing the brains influence over us will share similarities with totally stopping it, but it’s not the same, nor the cause.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@cubeus19 That is based on my own understanding, which I got in part from having died, and in doing so, removing my brain and ego from the equation entirely. Persinger and others who claim a physical material cause, be it EM or chem, are completely missing the point… directly due to their ego’s involvement in forcing the equation to deliver the solution they want or expect to find. DMT is only a stopgap excuse, one of many, to patch the many holes in their materialist’s paradigm.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@cubeus19 As far as these excuses go however, DMT is the best one that I’ve heard, by far. It explains more of the symptoms of a NDE (not the NDE itself, mind you) than many others, and its natural presence in the body means that it doesn’t make a laughable claim like we had when they were saying that Ketamine or other drugs/chemicals were the universal cause, even when not consumed. They are just coming to their conclusions by tracing backward from what they want to find.
GoosedByTheLight 10 months ago
@cubeus19 They state unsupported facts, like that it is common knowledge or even a proven fact that DMT is released at death, but I have found no clinical, scientific, or any medical study which supports this assertion, and none of more than a dozen people who have told me this could support the claim in any way. It’s just empty rhetoric being delivered with bravado, to bully the listener into believing their self-proclaimed authority. Unfortunately, many have been fooled.

@NWM11Bravo Yes, our healthcare system is definitely broken, but the doctors themselves are not the cause. As you point out, the problem comes from their training, and in educational systems in general. Most doctors enter their field with a sincere desire to help people, but the training leads them to view each patient as a problem to be solved so they can move on to the next. So many fields train their members to be reactionary and treat symptoms, but not just in medicine.

Later I experienced being given a choice to go and deciding to stay. So, I think it's our greater wisdom that keeps us here, whatever form that takes.

Did you find your purpose? I really like a couple videos from Christine on MetaphysicalSciences. She talks about surrendering to manifest things.
TheGiantRobot 1 year ago
@TheGiantRobot Sorry, I don’t know Christine, but if you think her videos are worthwhile, I’ll look her up. I guess you could say I have found my purpose by default. I’ve spent years trying to smooth relations between experiencers, religious, and the science minded (very few would I call actual scientists), so I’m guessing that the little progress I’ve made is indicating that I may be on the right track. I suppose it is valuable, and it definitely seems to suit my interests, if not my talents.
GoosedByTheLight 1 year ago
@TheGiantRobot You may be right. What I offer from my NDE relative this question is even the tiniest event happens with purpose. Everything fits in The Grand Scheme of Things, so I suspect The Grand Scheme of Things trumps our choices, based on limited understanding, to bring greater benefit to All. I suspect if you weren’t given a choice, it’s because you still have a part to play to help others on their journey. If you were given a choice, it is because you were trusted to make the right one.

@fisherman1955 Thank you for your kind words fisherman, deserved or not. I risk calling to order a meeting of the mutual admiration society, but I am touched by your gentle admiration. This clip was filmed at the first conference of Near Death Experiencers that I ever attended and I was being showered in Love from all in attendance, and I was reflecting that love back to all. You have received that Love in the spirit that it was given, and now you too are reflecting it again. Thank you for this.

These people are examples of the problems caused by reproducing in a shallow gene pool. Other times in history where people faced similar neurological and biological problems are the descendents of mountain people in Appalachia where in breeding was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

@cunnidvd you don't need to fret about CCR, he's a spammer that I have been trying to reason with for almost a week and he never even reads what I write before judging and condemning me. I told him three times that I'm a Christian, and as of yesterday, he was still calling me a Christian hater. When someone refuses to listen at all, they are impossible to reason with. I think his account is closed now anyway.

Yeah, I get that a lot. I was actually last of a dozen on the panel in a room full of experiencers when this was filmed. I didn't describe my NDE at the time because I didn't want to repeat what others said, & because I already talked to half the people present about it already. To be honest, my fear of public speaking gave me tunnel vision (pun intended) & I forgot about the camera. You can see that I kept forgetting about the mic at the beginning too & kept getting reminded from off camera.

NinetiesYouth 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth You are right of course, but I was also using my own pain and anger as a metaphor to convey something more universal too. I believe that we are all born into this world from that one, going from infinite Love and Unity, to the smack on the bottom that entering this world can be in so many ways. We all “Know” this experience at a deep, soul level, and we often spend our lives trying to recapture that perfection here, to fill the hole that “leaving” It leaves.
GoosedByTheLight 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth Because of our shared origin in our perfect Creator, we are all moved by beauty, by humor, by “rightness”, by belonging, and by so many wonderful things that resonate with that deep memory. Because it is now hidden from us however, we can be bitter, angry, lonely, and resentful for its apparent loss as well. I lived that upon my return, feeling again the perfection and beauty being wrenched away as I returned to this mortal shell.
GoosedByTheLight 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth I think that just as I used my brother as a scapegoat to carry away the pain of the fresh loss of Perfection, others do this too from the old, deep memories, because they too don’t remember the Perfection and Beauty consciously, only feeling the hole left by the loss of the Whole. I believe this is much of the source of man’s inhumanity to man, as we lash-out, exploit, judge, and blame those around us because they are less than the Perfection we long for.
GoosedByTheLight 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth In our separation/isolation, we paint images of the Greater World outside on the inside of our mortal shells (minds) for comfort, but we remember only snippets of the Whole. The pictures we paint are sometimes bitter and dark, often composed of fear and judgment, but that is mostly because it is painted on the very shell of isolation itself, and maybe a little bit of sour grapes too (as we lessen what we lack). So it was with me.
GoosedByTheLight 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth Shoved back into my shell, the Beautiful memory of what was beyond it had been left behind, but I retained the discomfort, pain, and sense of loss/betrayal. In my isolation again, I painted them onto my brother because it was the only place I could find that was believable, even as I knew that it didn’t fit. My dear friend dissolved my shell however, by speaking to me through it, thinning it enough to allow my memories to rush in and shatter it completely.
GoosedByTheLight 9 months ago
@NinetiesYouth I realized then that I was not the shell, and the world which I had been projecting onto it all my life was not the real world… only a foolish caricature of it, made from my pain projected upon my isolation. Over the months and years which followed, the shell has returned, but now I am mindful to paint with the pallet of the true reality… replacing pain and judgment with Love and Unity. Beyond our individual shells of solitude, we are ALL still One.

WildBill6942 8 months ago
@WildBill6942 Thank you again my brother and my friend. I did want to be clear that I am in the same sort of shell as everyone else, and I feel the same isolation that surrounds them too, but when we paint with Love and gratitude, the inside is no longer vastly different from the outside, and we are closer to the Truth around us even when we don’t see It directly. In being closer to the wholeness which surrounds us, we are also closer to others who also share in that Oneness.

@GoosedByTheLight -- You're welcome my friend. I'm just curious, since your experience do you feel you have an increased intuitiveness or are hyper-sensitive in any way to things around you that you weren't before? Have you had any dreams or spiritual connections with the other side since your experience?
WildBill6942 8 months ago
@WildBill6942 Hi T,
Did I ever send you the links to my written account of my NDE? I thought that I had, but I might be confused. I can include 1&2 if you would like to read them, but in part 3 of this account, I mention all the aftereffects…
ndespace.org/forum/topics/my-experience-part-3-my-return
In this, I don’t mention dreams, because both before and after having a NDE, I rarely remember them. That is one of the few areas of my lives which was left unchanged.
GoosedByTheLight 8 months ago
@WildBill6942 As I often say, I am but a fool and no more special than any other. I was shown what I was by my experience, as if I was led on a leash by a Power far greater than myself, and that power still instills great awe in me. I am also greatly moved by meeting others who have found these truths on their own, without having to be led by the nose as I was. You sir, are awesome. You seem to get it, without having to have The-Powers-That-Be rub your nose in it. Kudos to you and all of yours.
GoosedByTheLight 8 months ago
@GoosedByTheLight -- thanks for the kind words. I only wish I could've experienced what you did, of course without all the trauma it took for you to get there. I always find it odd how some people on here have a difficult time separating God from religion. I'm a Christian yet I also believe that you can't take everything you read in the Bible literally. If people could just get past the disagreements of who's version of Jesus is better than the others or who's God is better, we'd be better off.
WildBill6942 8 months ago
@NinetiesYouth Back to my point… I believe that we’re ALL experiencers of the True Reality, we’ve ALL been One and are still and ever One, even as the murals of our own crafting stand between us. As my siblings lash out at me, I am aware that I am not their target, but the image of me that they have erected upon the face of their isolation. I understand and empathize with them, because I too feel cut-off from the Wholeness, and it is still very freshly painted upon my isolation.

@GoosedByTheLight --- hey S, are they having another NDE Conference again this year? Looking forward to hearing more near-death testimonies. Keep doing what you're doing... even though at times I'm sure it gets frustrating.
WildBill6942 8 months ago
@WildBill6942 Yes T, this year’s conference will be held in Durham NC on Sept 2-4, as per the IANDS.org website. The keynote speakers will be Raymond Moody, Bruce Greyson, and Eben Alexander, and they will be joined by other wonderful presenters including P.M.H. Atwater (such a sweetheart). I hope that Bill is going again as well, and he brings his camera of course.
It does get frustrating and exhausting, but I take a break to tap the Love and light, and my patience is restored anew.

Looking at my comment I think maybe I should explain myself. To me the most important part of your story is that you couldn't understand why you felt so angry, bereft, rejected. So you did the human thing and projected blame onto your brother. I think this is key for all of us. Whether or not we have an NDE, we somehow, somewhere have that memory of love, and can't understand why it was "withdrawn" when in truth the choice (unbelievably) was ours to come here. We all do what you did: project.
marianlansky 2 years ago
Dear Marian,
It touches me that I touched you. Every time I tell this story it seems to come out differently, but I always try to include that part where the pain evaporated. Some ask how or where I got the strength to forgive and don't understand when I tell them that I never had to. When I re-experienced the Love and the light by finally remembering, all negatives were released by that Love and not by me. All I had to do was to get myself and my ego out of the way and let the Love heal me.
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
So are you suggesting that it is love in general, or specifically the unconditional and infinite Love of our Source that we all project from the "loss" of? If you mean the latter, then that is an interesting concept that I'll need to think about. So when you say we all "project", how do you mean that? I'm intrigued and ideas are flowing from your words, but I just want to stop and make sure that I'm not just running off on my own, and that I'm actually following your meaning. either way, thanks!
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
It's the latter... that we all feel abandoned, bereft and endangered because somewhere in our minds we hold the memory of our true home (the Love of our Source) and we feel subconsciously "cast out." We can't figure out why we feel this way, so we turn to our fellow humans and blame them in one way or another. We believe we are in competition for Love, in some way. We believe we have to "earn our way back."
marianlansky 2 years ago
And as you say, if we could shift our focus away from the ego (the human, fear-identified mind), the memory would relieve us of any need to "forgive" in the usual human sense. It would be similar to becoming lucid in a dream, knowing that in truth no matter what scary thing seems to be happening, we are safe at home in bed. Whenever we blame our fellow humans for anything, we are, in a sense, making the dream real, rather than waking up. Nothing "wrong" with this, but it increases suffering.
marianlansky 2 years ago
I'd like to say that I haven't responded because I was deep in thought about what you wrote, but the truth is that I was off-line for a month. My being deep in thought over your words made little diference. Now that I'm back (actually I have been for a few days now, sorry) I wanted to let you know that your explanation both explains a lot and rings true. It is odd that what reminded me to finally answer you was when a friend said nearly the same thing to me two days ago. Great minds think alike.
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
This was extremely helpful to me. Your story of misplaced anger explained something to me that I hadn't understood about myself. To me it seems obvious that you are fulfilling your purpose, just by being yourself. Thank you so much.

The answer is just help others
marygalaxy 2 years ago
Yes Mary,
That is the default answer that I have come to. I believe that we are all sent here to help others which I try hard to do, but I also believe that we each have some purpose that unique to ourselves, some purpose that calls to our particular soul if we know to listen. If I was to just continue to help others, I think that I might still get a passing grade in the class on life, but I don't want to risk having to take this class again. My NDE tells me that my purpose goes beyond this.
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
You've obviously thought long and hard about this. I have too, and whilst I don't do anything major to help others I do feel slightly wasteful knowing that this is probably the means by which I will judge my life's worth. I think even small charitable acts can make a difference, but I agree that its probably not enough if you think service to others is important. I hope I will try and do more later when I have more time. I'm not too concerned about which area I choose as long as I do something!
marygalaxy 2 years ago
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in what I last wrote, what I meant to say is that we are all unique and vital to creation and that we all have a part to play in the world that no other soul can fill in for. The difference that we make could be as simple as being in the right place at the right time to encourage Love in another, or as great as to reshape all of reality. I did not mean to say that helping others is any less important or less profound, only that it may not be our unique purpose.
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
You and I both were created with a purpose in life, and if I was to live as a self centered bastard, you might make up for my failings in regards to kindness and helping others, but there will still be my unique purpose that noone but I can accomplish. Most of the help that we can offer others is as simple as a smile or a kind word, and that alone can change the world. I do believe that service to others is important, but I believe that you yourself are more importand than any service alone.
GoosedByTheLight 2 years ago
I do try my best to help anyone in need, but I can't shake the feeling there is something else that I am meant to do. It is not more important, only that it is unique to me. Am I meant to write a book to nurture understanding in others that no other could find the words for? Am I to start an organizatuon with my unique insights? or introduce two friends who change the world? or save a life? or father a child? or overcome hardship to inspire others? Each example is unique, but none less worthy.

Hi Goosed! Just wanted to hear you again!
You manifested unconditional love when you forgave your brother and released the hurt, hate, and anger. Your Love and LIght within(reinforced by the NDE) could not hold any negative energies so you were blessed and freed to be your beautiful loving, awesome self. You are a wonderful soul shining with sweet humor, and a humbleness that is very endearing. Thanks for sharing and being here still. XOXOX Gisl

My dear sister Gisl,
I'm sorry that it has taken a week to get on here and check for comments, especially now that I see that I missed you. I don't take credit for being strong or enlightened in forgiving, all I did was surrender to the Love and the Light... but you know that already don't you?
Thank you for the kindness of your post and for being such a wonderful example of the unconditional Love that I have such trouble describing to others who have difficulty sensing it for themselves.

Hello again Gisl, I was just getting on here again to address any new posts, but I have found that yours is still the most recent. I hope that you don't mind that I am responding to you again, but I am trying to make it clear that there are some of us that have been in the light and are still here to tell of it. I blame new years after all, but those that need help I trust will find it. Until then, I will wait.

You're a very funny guy - sorry about your brother. You truly have a loving attitude about your brother. That is what real love is about.

Thank you Doc.
To me, it says you have questions that go beyond answers that medical training can offer. I applaud you for continuing your search.
Nearly all NDEs leave the experiencer with a profoundly changed concept of Love. Often, as in my case, we come to believe that Love is God, and God is all that truely is. My Love goes well beyond my brother and includes you too.
Schizophrenia is a difficult burden, but it is just a physical and chemical flaw and it is not who they truely are. Cont.

Our bodies & minds are just clothing our true selves wear. Schizophrenia (& drugs, alcohol, injury, & other illness) can corrupt ones paradigm & cause them to harm themselves & others, but that is just the illness & not themselves. I Love all my siblings throughout the world for who they are, & I don't care about the packaging that they come in... even if the packaging is hurtful to me.
Always a good idea to let the "oops" fall on deaf ears... but remember dead ears are not always deaf ;).

Sorry to keep you waiting. Not counting the three days where the morphine kept me asleep, I spent the three days that followed being very angry with my brother. I forgave him not from any strength or virtue of my own, but because when I finally remembered my NDE, the light that I experienced burned away all the negative feelings. I believe that I was allowed to steep in it for nearly a week to help me to feel compassion for my siblings who live their lives in angst before I was delivered from it
