Hi Form just to add a bit more about my experiences and tentative conclusions based on them

After many years of interest in the near death phenomenon combined with my own near death experience, I feel I can construct a reasonable composite description of the first and second heavens. The strange twisting dimensions in the realms of the afterlife seem beyond adequate descriptive resources and words of earthly humanity. Try to describe a spectrum of colors that do not exist on earth and you would grasp what I mean.

OUR PHYSICAL MATERIAL UNIVERSE

Before going into the mystery of the hereafter, we should first consider what we don’t know about our physical three-dimensional universe. Experience has lead me to believe that our universe is awash with countless different life forms, involving countless billions of planets and galaxies. Higher life forms in the universe, when reaching maturity, have access to a colossal telepathic cosmic universal mind of awesome unreliable proportions.  Mind to mind internet. Wisdom is not the sum of what we do know, but the sum of what we don’t. Out there in the vastness and aloneness of cosmic night great beings sail the dark cosmic seas of space, pushed towards their destination by means of galactic winds of light. They are colossal intellects, far above humanity and are the real angels of God (The bible, God has made operate a little lower than the angels are). Their great cosmic gossamer wings stretching across hundreds of thousands of kilometers and they are so huge compared to us that they it is simply beyond human comprehension. There are planets similar to our own, but a human visitor would find it strange as there and means of transport building. In addition, clothing differs so much from our own. The beings vary greatly from planet to planet but all follow a basic pattern of creation and all planetary life is carbon, water based. Blue water worlds just like our earth are the ones that harbour life. Just like the great variation in the appearance in different human populations, it is obvious that the differences across planetary divides would be greater in both animals and plant. “Our universe is a beautiful colossal thought in the mind of god”. I suppose one might ask why we have not received visitors from the billions of highly developed planets. The reason is simple and any physicist could give an answer to this question. The fundamental law of the universe prevents any object made of matter, such as a metal space ship exceeding the speed of light, so the possibility of any visitor crossing the vastness of the universe is vanishing small. The ultimate method must be by “teleportation giving instant access to all planets across the universe, without the time dilation difficulty posed by Einstein theory of relativity. Spiritual entities can also enter our realm by also not being made of matter and are able to transverse the universe and beyond instantly, no matter how far apart destination is I believe, however that by some unknown extremely advanced ESP, eg Teleportation we have been visted by non spititual beings from our universe . Be careful who you intertain lest you are intertainng an agel unawares (from the bible)

The first realm is what is commonly described by most religions as hell. It is simply a place of varying degrees of separation from God. What is cold? The absence of heat. What is darkness? The absence of light, what is evil? The absence of God. (Einstein)

This place has various degrees of refinement of the soul, because the ultimate God is righteous and just and requires purity of his eternal companions.

During one of my visions of the night, I was transported to a colossal cavern, which glowed, with some sort of dim red heat. There I saw countless people just staring and appearing to be waiting for something. . Was this, limbo or something else? I do not know. Perhaps this is the place the negative dead go to wait for the correction by God.

There is the black Void where some souls go on their demise a place of reflection. The tunnel that I experienced, as any earthly tunnel has two ends, one into the light the other into darkness and separation from god. Have any of the OBE’s on the forum experienced this void or do OBE’s go elsewhere in their travels?

The other realms beyond life that nearly all go are beautiful reflections and image of how our world originally was created to look like and it is paradise or Eden. Therefore, it is easy to explain on return from an nde, as it is so similar but so much more beautiful and alive than our own present mortal reality on Earth.  This first heaven is a dimension somewhere between our own earth and the non-physical realities of the higher dimensional heavens of which there are countless. As one progresses up towards the light, unimaginable beautiful new realms of other worldly existence become evident to the evolving soul.
