    I visited with a priest who says the same: I was visited by a Saint who said, "you are deeply forever loved. "
    The priest said this is authentic because the message is always love.

    Wonderful to listen to, and thank you for mentioning the pure souls that animals are. It pains me so much that billions of animals are killed every single day to be unnecessarily consumed. So much suffering we inflict on animals. It really hurts the heart to live in a world that treats animals like inanimate objects.

      This has to be taught from very young age that all livings animated or non-animated (plants) have souls (living force). Symptom of life is the evidence of the present of soul (growing, breathing, moving, having by-products). Animal killing, meat eating results a very heavy karma. So as to abortions and using contraceptive.

    • @user-qr7sv6sc7d

      Even non-animated objects have to be used with respect as God has provided us ( furniture comes from the living- trees, leather comes from animal...) Spiritual life means follow the highest law/ God' s law/Nature law of action and reaction,cause and effect. God the creator is the Knower of all our activities.

    Dr. Eben Alexander's experience showed human consciousness "collapses the wave function" to create "hard reality." Our consciousness is a work of cocreation, a concept that continually popped up in my poetry, seemingly out of thin air. Our bodies are mortal, but our spirit is Immortal--Then I discovered my poetry was Gnostic, but I had not known what Gnosticism was about. Then I began to understand the “dazzling darkness” I had witnessed in meditation, and the weird poetry many found so evocative. More details in my second book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train is on the Tracks

    Westerns have a crazy look out sometimes except for a certain group of ppl. May be that's the reason Eben is sitting here in India and sharing this.

    This is what my docters think of, that there's only a mind. They don't fully understand the concept of this when I try to explain it to them. I'm an epileptic, had brain surgery that opened up more of my conscience. Yet, explaining this to them they don't get it. They wish to give me more meds assuming otherwise do to what they are taught in school. There's allot more to my history they are not aware of. Or care to look in to.

      It's better not to frustrate yourself with people who can't understand. The whole area of near death experiences is widespread now. Stick with people who know, and appreciate, where you're coming from. The people who understand where you're coming from can give you a frame of reference, and can help you grow.

    I really enjoy listening to this beautiful kind knowledgeable man, he was one of the first nde stories I ever heard! Wow have I came along way from that time. It really helped me get to even acknowledge that the religion I had been taught and been lied to about was so far from the real truth of who we really are! Although at that time I needed that religion to help me in so many hard times I was and been going thru most of my life. But deep down inside I had that knowing that it wasn’t the real deal,especially the part of a loving God that would throw me into a burning hell forever because I had sinned! Thank you Dr Alexander your such a blessing to so many!

    There is a great difference between a brain-based explanation of what a person can experience and a quantum-leap of interpretations of a quantum-mechanical god, a deity of love accompanied by all of the usual liturgy that accompanies a very sick (at the time) Christian.

    Your after death experience is absolutely true,there is no doubt that you have seen a reality.Actually this physical world is a big false dream.We dont have to do anything with this world.After realization of our soul,this worlds reality came to us as a big cheat.We are just a pure soul.

    • @mactek6033
      @mactek6033 6 років тому +1

      Animals mostly have group souls. Humans also have that kind of soul, but it is a little more individualized because we have a self-identity that lower lifeforms don't necessarily have. Animals that develop a self-identity, such as pets, hold onto their identity after death.

    A Doctor (Scientist in theory), turned Pastor. "Go home people, don't come to my hospital or practice, I will pray for you and all will be well because I have found the key to your consciousness and you will go to heaven thanks to me". "I will do my best to save you , but if you die I can guarantee that you will be in heaven." Not very reassuring for a Doctor if you ask me. One of the reasons why I will not show up at his practice.

      Read Vedanta and Upanishads. It is probably closest to the truth. It says that the infinite (God) can be reached by infinite ways and on the highest level of reality we and God are one. There is no separate God or universal consciousness apart from you. It is of the nature of sat chit ananda - existence consciousness bliss.

      The doctrine of reincarnation was part of the Christian canon until the 6th C AD when it was removed by Emperor Justinian under pressure from Theodora. A channel called The 144000 did a series:
      By The Emperor's Command: Banning Reincarnation! It quickly goes through all the allusions to the doctrine throughout the Bible. We were "the Morning Stars that sang together and now we're the Prodigal Son that longs to go home.
