Glorious Destiny

Recently, there have been books and a movie about HEAVEN IS REAL (a young boy's true experience) and THE PROOF OF HEAVEN by Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurologist. Those along with my own personal experiences and good friends's experiences have left me convinced that there is Life in Heaven after Life. And even bad boys can get there, as Damion Brinkley convinces in his books (see below). And those who have had NDE experiences never want to return to earth, and always look forward to going back.

Research in 2010 by psychiatrist Raymond Moody, PhD, who coined the term, "near-death experience" in his groundbreaking 1975 book Life After Life, suggests people can occasionally co-experience the sense of entering the light. As Florida-based palliative-care psychologist Kathleen Dowling Singh, PhD, has noted, "The dying become radiant and speak of 'walking through a room lit by a lantern,' or of their 'body filling with sunlight.'" Sometimes, if only for a moment, their family members do, too. The psychologist Joan Borysenko, PhD, for instance, described having such an experience when her 81-year-old mother died at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston while Borysenko was on faculty at Harvard. The room seemed to fill with a brilliant light, which both she and her teenage son saw, as they watched her mother rise spectrally out of her body.

We fear death in our culture, and find it difficult to talk about and witness. But perhaps the dying understand more than we do, and can offer us comfort, if only we could listen to what they're attempting to say.

Because there are so many theories concerning this subject, I will leave you to decide. Whatever else you do, take the love you have deep in your soul for the loved one who has crossed over and ask that this love continue to grow and transform, ask that this love watch over you. Every once in a while, I feel a blast of love coming to me from someone I have loved who has died. This is a very special feeling and is very close to the feelings I receive from my contact with angels, and very often this feeling gives me insight and inspiration. Unconditional love has no limits; it can pass back and forth through time and space in an instant. Allow yourself to experience this process directly.” Terry Lynn Taylor, Messengers of Light

 

The trials of today are stepping stones over which you pass to a glorious destiny.  Myrtle Fillmore (co-founder of Unity)

 To this day I live in three worlds and have learned to enjoy it tremendously. The only place I have found where those three worlds connect is in a hospice, where I spend time with people who are dying. It is there that people nearing the ends of their lives make a connection with the spirit world. By being with dying people, I am able to share in their world as they pass over to the other side. As they transfer to their spiritual side, they are actually living in two worlds at the same time. A person who does hospice work lives in those worlds with the dying.

 

It is in hospice work that a person can realize that death is not feared.
Paul Perry, in the foreword, "His main theme is this: If we can dispel our fear of death, we can dispel our fear of life, our fear of living up to our fullest, most spiritual potential. Key to ending fear, he believes, is training people to make the transition to death a loving, gentle, and normal experience. The people at several hospice associations tell me that he has already recruited more hospice volunteers than anyone in their histories.

 

In the early days, I had no understanding about what was happening. I knew only that I had no control over the things that were coming into my mind.

 

In looking back I realize that my experience was like flying an airplane without first being given lessons. I was bound to crash, and crash I did.
