Yup. The depths of the evil blows my mind. I want…need…to see Good on the same scale.
Recently I’ve been doing a lot of deep diving on Near Death Experiences. People of every conceivable stripe have had them and the vast majority do not seem to view the world in the same light as we do, upon return. They acknowledge the dark, but pay it very little mind. The dark is simply playing their role in the divine play. They see this life as but a stepping stone and a blip in the soul’s eternal journey, which is in a perpetual upward spiral through learning and experience. They are determined to only increase the love here on earth. I find listening/reading their accounts to be deeply comforting in this extremely difficult reality we find ourselves in.
My father had an NDE when I was 3 he was run over by a car and had always talked about it-He said he got sucked out of his body like a vacuum and sat at the top corner of the ceiling watching them work on him. He said 2 of the doctors made a bet about if he would survive or not. He said he then got sucked back into his body & told the doctor who bet against him that he lost his bet & the doctor turned sheet white. There is so much more to my dads life b/c he was a miracle patient twice. But I also want to mention when my mother was in her deathbed she said the Arc Angel Gabriel came to her and showed her things so she wouldn’t be afraid to pass- she said he was Huge!! Over 9ft tall she kept saying! Anyways I’ve always had a strong faith but never was one for organized religion or so I thought- but three years ago the Lord called me back to the church - the church of my ancestors & two years ago I confirmed myself to it. I feel that our ancestors did have some things right & evil exists everywhere. A church is only as good as the people that are in it & if us good people don’t occupy that space - evil will. Trying to follow Gods will is more than going to Church every Sunday - but it is a part of it. I love the feeling when the whole congregation is saying the same prayer all together- there’s power in that. I also feel doing some of these ceremonies & prayers is putting on the armor of God.
Ok 1 more thing - I know this is getting long. About 30 years ago my deceased father in law came to me in a dream - in the dream I was shocked b/c I knew who he was & was cognizant that he was dead & shouldn’t be able to talk to him - when he turned to speak to me he was surrounded by a white light. To this day I do t know what he said but it was very very very serious- he was warning me-but did tell me that me my husband & son would be fine- but during the whole time I was distracted b/c I felt someone standing on my right side but I couldn’t turn to see who it was- I kept saying just turn & look to myself but couldn’t- a voice then came in my head and said You don’t have to see- You know & at that moment I knew it was God/Jesus - I was filled from the top of my head to the tip of my toes with utter joy & happiness- it felt like I was like a balloon I was gonna pop I was so light & so full. And then the voice said now go tell John (my husband) - and I woke up. I could never remember what was so serious that is coming that I was warned about- but these last few years have showed me what I think he was warning me about.
I absolutely love reading about NDEs and did a deep dive years ago as well.
I had a truly surreal experience that led to the research. I was really sick from anxiety and not eating but not on the brink of death, yet had what I can only describe as an NDE.
In this experience, I met a tall, handsome man with the kindest eyes, who exuded love from every pore. I could feel it. And with so much warmth and love and happiness in his eyes and voice he said, “I’ve waited a long by time to meet you”.
After that I woke up and vividly remembered his face. It stuck with me for weeks until I finally thought to ask Grandma to see old photos. And there he was. He was my great grandfather on my Mom’s side. He died before I ever met him but my Mom and aunts adored him and said he was a wonderful man. I’d never seen a photo of him but I described him perfectly to my family prior to seeing the photo.
The hard time I was going through that made me sick eased up significantly and my lifelong anxiety got so much better. I could function like a semi-normal person again. I could eat again.
I didn’t walk away with any kind of lesson or mission but I love so much harder since then, and over time it seems my goal has become to just spread love as much as I can.
Also my eventually anxiety came back because of an evil person so it didn’t cure me. But it helped a lot for a few years.
I have a similar story with anxiety/panic disorder. Unfortunately I never had any mystical experiences during my time in that particular Hell lol. I am recovered from it though. I whole heartily recommend a book (and app) called DARE by Barry McDunnogue (I might have the spelling wrong there but easy book to find). It’s a very simple process that teaches you “the right way” to have/respond to anxiety, which gradually eliminates it. In a nutshell it retrains your brain to think “Anxiety? Who cares?”, which deprives the anxiety itself of the fuel it needs (your resistance to it) to perpetuate itself. Really brilliant approach and it really works. Just thought I’d mention it, as I know very well how terrible chronic anxiety can be.
What I’ve been listening to is “The NDE Podcast” on Spotify. It’s something like 412 episodes now. Also “The Other Side NDE” channel on YouTube. Hope you enjoy!

That is so beautiful.
You just made my day by posting it.

Beautiful story fren. Just offered a prayer for you to have peace. Your username is like a prayer. God hears you and heals you. "Only believe."

Great points! and I'm interested in learning more about NDE's, do you have any good resources to share?
