I’m feeling more like most of this community thinks this is “New Age” stuff, and so dismiss it.
it’s actually the most vital part of the awakening, understanding of who we really are and how the universe really works, how this information has been kept from us, and how we can win against evil every time utilizing it. (Positive, loving thoughts, vibrations, utilizing the God/love energy of the whole, etc.
In many senses, the new age shit is like you describe, but more devious. People have been pushed away from the church, many of them reject the materialist world-view and so they seek out a belief set that will provide more meaning, so, create the 'new age' movement as a way of explaining the immaterial, but twisted so as to keep people as controlled as through the religions they were pushed into leaving.
I still believe in God and Jesus. They are all over the NDEs, regardless of religious background, or lack thereof. What I know now of course is that God is not an old man with a white beard 😁
I also understand now that all “religion” is dogma/man-made and man has of course put in unnecessary controls and rules around everything. however, I also understand that some of these man-made rules are comforting and help people, so there’s that! I mean, God can make lemon made out of lemons :)
I also understand that Buddhism got a lot of it right. Christianity also got a lot of it right, especially Jesus/the New Testament.
What I am learning more and more is most important is your personal relationship with God, Jesus, with everyone and everything, as we are all connected. To share love as much as possible.
God is love. Of course there’s so much more to it, God is beyond power and comprehension, beyond our ability to grasp how much love, love and kindness, and power that God has and what God has created… how absolutely amazing God is, etc.
This is all my opinion, of course :) and even though I am discovering all this, I still fail daily, moment to moment by being intensely negative with what is going on in the world (it feels so overwhelming)… I am hoping by practicing more and more what I’ve learned, I will become a better and better person and thus making the world a better place. Ultimately, when I feel overwhelmed by all of this, at least I know that each person being loving, and positive actually can make a difference in the whole.
It’s also incredibly overwhelming to learn all of this when only a few of us on this board are becoming more aware… I would love to be on a website that is full of people like us - I need that support. I guess I just have to wait a little longer.
It wouldn't be the first time that I've been shocked by how much people hold onto things they were simply indoctrinated into believing. (The most surprising was relating to discussions about 9-11)
I'd guess most here know. Except maybe those too deeply indoctrinated in religion to even consider it.

Laws require a Law Giver. The Universe did not explode from nothing!
Well said, you're right.
