We live forever, and once we realize that, we see that there is never need for despair, depression, or morbidity.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Those who have traipsed for the other side emphasize how, from the perspective there, that no disease or trauma or heartbreak, no tragedy on earth, seems like a “big deal.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Such is the perspective “over there.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The earth is a passing place, and a big mistake it is when we embrace it as our complete or even predominant reality.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The most immediate obstacle for an easy transition: worldliness, according to one young woman who allegedly had<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0such an experience in February of 2010 when she had a seizure and collapsed at a party. Suddenly she had found herself watching a lot of people in a circle staring at something, with police caution tape around, and when she went to see what they were looking at, she saw that it was her own body.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n All of a sudden<\/span> a huge white light appeared, coming from the ceiling to the floor. “I just knew, okay, that’s home,” she relates on a video [below<\/em>]. “That’s where I’m supposed to go. So I went into the light and it felt so good, it’s hard to explain. The higher I went into the light, and the more I moved up and further than earth, the better I felt. The feeling of pleasure does not really apply to this earth. Nothing can compare. If you took everything you are in favor of — maybe getting a massage, getting into a hot tub, your favorite music, your favorite food, your favorite drink, [if] everything that you love happened to you all at once — it would not even closely compare to the pleasure that was in that light. As you moved up, it felt better and better.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n As always, we are vigilant because deception can come as an “angel of light.” Deception? Drugs? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n So many of these experiences are astoundingly consistent and bear good fruit (conversion) that we discern them. When we do we see how fading indeed — how insignificant — are the pleasures of life. (Indeed, fasting can bring more pleasure than a fantastic meal.) <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Earth turned dark<\/span> for this particular woman — black — and our “universe” seemed “the size of an ant.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>In Heaven, the leader of a nation is of no more note than the janitor at church or the clerk at a convenience store (and perhaps of less note).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “It made you realize how insignificant life is and how we are only here for such a short time,” she witnesses. “There’s an eternal life we have to live, and not too many people know that or believe that. There is a place we go.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n She saw her whole life<\/span> all at once in a flash. “I honestly looked at my life and felt like a complete failure. I felt like I’d lived one big selfish life, which was only directed to myself. I never helped anyone on this planet. I never gave anything to a significant degree. I guess I was — now I know the terminology — ‘worldly.’ <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “My life seemed so big on earth, my friends, my clothes. When you look at it from up there, it looks so insignificant. There was an overwhelming feeling of love.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We contrive importance based on a very limited vision. “There is no perfection here,” she notes. But there is<\/em> on the other side (though there is also “a place of all evil”).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n She wasn’t ready for the afterlife, however — it turns out — and when a Voice spoke to her, it said, “If you want to live, show it.”<\/em>\u00a0She was suddenly back in her body.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A lesson for today:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “If you want to live, show it.”<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n [resources: afterlife books<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong>and February retreat, Michael Brown, Vero Beach<\/a><\/span>]<\/span><\/strong><\/tt><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/cNULBu-cI3I?t=623<\/p>\n We live forever, and once we realize that, we see that there is never need for despair, depression, or morbidity..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[557,558],"class_list":{"0":"post-4837","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-commentary","7":"tag-heaven","8":"tag-heavenly-experience","9":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4837\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
