Ok, I have plenty I understand from different sources....here ya go:
We actually have choices, even when coming back here.
Now, sure you don't have to believe any of this, however, it is funny that books I read in the
70s concur with books now.
(But, wait! I have my own experiences, not from any book!)
Briefly, remember karma is not punishment...it is for learning, growth, understanding the nature
of Self or Reality or Creation, etc...to reach God or Enlightenment or Heaven or Home or Union.
Each society or religion has there own words...from ancient Greece to New Agey ideas.
We spend some time in the 'In-between' place...not some eternal Heaven.. not
hell..no floating around clouds...ok?
In this place before coming back here..we actually stand in front of a Council..think, a panel of Elders.
We present our case:
"I wanna go back!
I wanna be born blind, to a black family of poor alcoholics!! Yeah!"
(Because we are anxious to grow, learn, progress..we understand so much more now!)
Elders: " Well, Bill, we understand your enthusiasm.
But you have been away from Earth for quit awhile.
And we think you have forgotten how tough it really
is there. So, you can be sent there being blind, but to
a white, middle class family. That alone should be enough for you to handle and you and all those
around you will grow tremendously in wisdom, patience, love and selflessness."
I myself as a young adult prayed, begged, asked, went to therapy to forgive my horrible father.
His treatment of me still effecting my personality and my relationships for decades.
(Catholics know forgiveness is huge for both parties!)
But, I got nothing. I still hated him.
One day about 5 years ago while doing a project...I was given 'a vision'.
Stunned, almost breathless,
deer in headlights, middle of the day.. I hear my dad while I was in that 'In-between" place,
hanging out before coming here, say...
"I will be your father and you will be born my daughter and
I will treat you as you have treated women...so you will stop it once and for all."
(The telepathic implication: I will feel how I have hurt and broken women's spirits and hearts by lying, cheating,
2 timing, poo-poohing their emotions. Oh brother, was I a mean, insensitive, misogynistic male!!
Ya get a sense of the whole deal.)
And so, this terrible man was, in fact, so close to me as a soul friend, he did this for ME!
(From the moment he saw me in the hospital til the day he died he treated me terribly.)
He was the exact opposite of what I thought of him as ..the enemy, a terrible person...instead,
he was my best buddy through out diff lives.
Did I learn to be kinder....it took years to not have a temper...but, yes. I have finally learned
a deep soul lesson.
Wowsa, have I ever.
Background on me: I often have insights downloaded into my mind...I have been meditating for over 40 years..
anywhere from 1,2,3-6 hours a sitting, plus...even as a child I exp'd many 'supernatural or paranormal'
things; some people do, some people never have one experience so don't understand them.
I get it.
So there is my input. Take it or leave it from a person that probably has read every NDE book ever written.
