From my experience I'd say some NDEs are actual afterlife encounters filtered through the perception, beliefs, expectations and preconceived notions of the afterlife.

Living within physical reality gives us the illusion of it only being possible to be in one place at any given instant of time.  However, it is my own personal experience that no such limitation exists within nonphysical reality.  I can be in many different nonphysical places simultaneously and have been, veritably.  It should be a very simple matter for an Adept like Jesus to be in multiple places at once.

Also, I know that it sometimes happens that when a Helper or a Light Being approaches a person that person's beliefs, etc. create an overlay that makes it look like that person's conception of Jesus.  This can also make it appear that Jesus is in more than one place at a time.

Bruce I agree that Jesus could interact with billions of souls at the same time,    not because he is just one adept of many,  but because he is Almighty God,  who fragmented part of himself,   to take on human form for a tiny flash within the vastness of eternity.

Only people who have died in the absolute really know what is on the other side of death and the reality of the afterlife, I agree, with you that most NDE reflect the expectation of about the belief system of that particular person.

"(By the way Bruce are my present posts up to standard?)"

What is Jesus,s prime attribute, what makes him absolute unique?

Maybe those on the other side, prepare a scene similar to the expectations of the person who has just died.

By this they arrange for the arrivals too enter a "Virtual Reality, not based on what is really factual in the afterlife..

This is too ease them into the afterlife realms, because the actual reality of the afterlife, is simple not what most people expect it to be, especially fundamentalist religious people imagine it is?

Hi Alan,

My answer is very similar to Bruce's response above. My own research into the phenomenon of near-death experiences suggests that the experiences are often affected by the experiencer's beliefs and preconceived ideas of death. Those who have NDEs do not seem to go the Summerland, which is the general afterlife region where the majority of us will find ourselves after death. For this reason, I would say that near-death experiences do not objectively reflect the nature of the afterlife--this is also why they are not of particular interest to me.

(However, it should be noted that death itself is a highly-individualized process. Those who ardently believe in a specific type of afterlife often find themselves after death in what is referred to as a "hollow heaven"--an illusory afterlife region designed to fit their preconceived notions of heaven. I suspect that NDEs occur in regions similar to hollow heavens.)

As Bruce said above, time and space do not exist in any objective manner. In the lower levels of the afterlife, there does seem to be space and a flexible sort of time, but the dead are slowly weaned off these fictitious concepts as they develop spiritually. The higher spheres have neither. So, it should be more than possible for a highly-advanced being like Jesus to be in various places at once. The afterlife literature suggests, however, that the majority of people who are greeted by Jesus on their death beds are actually seeing helper beings who have come to guide them away from the earthbound plane.

Thanks for your message! 

Personally, I do believe that something like reincarnation occurs--there is sufficient evidence of that in my opinion--but what part of my previous post was suggestive of reincarnation to you? I've read over what I wrote again, and I don't see anything that touches upon that particular subject.

No worries--I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!
