It's truly inspiring to hear the stories of those who have returned from the brink of death. These narratives often reveal a profound transformation, where individuals are enveloped in feelings of peace, ecstatic joy, and complete acceptance. The overwhelming Love that permeates NDErs is revolutionary, steeping them in a form of Love that transcends any words.
Love at the spiritual level is far more than simply an emotion. It is the essence of Source. Through my 70+ years of spiritual exploration and study, plus the research of 2500 NDEs, I've learned that Source is, among other things, a conscious being, intelligent beyond our ability to comprehend, and whose life force is Love. Consciousness and love-power are used to create everything within our awareness. Keep in mind that my understanding is far from complete. There are many more aspects of the Isness that I don't know.
Another profound aspect of an NDE is the all-encompassing sense of unity with the universe. Regardless of the destination, there is a realization that they are part of everything, and everything they perceive is a part of them. This, NDErs say, includes each one of us. No stars, moons, and black holes, or life forms exist separate from Source. Our sense of disconnection is a temporary illusion we indulge in while we exist in a physical life.
It does not matter what your spiritual base is. If you believe in a higher power, then you likely think the Creator played a role in all creation. Taking that a step further, what element did Source use for creation if there was the Positive Creative Force and nothing else? There was nothing more than just one solitary being. Thus, it must have used its own essence for creation to happen.
So, where does that leave us? We are not separate from the Source and beyond magnificent. There are no superlatives that can fully capture our astonishing reality. You have the potential to achieve incredible things, to perform miracles. But first, you need to realize your magnificent reality. Through meditation and mindfulness you can connect with your true essence and manifest the love that you are, empowering personal growth and transformation.
