So many people with so many [different] experiences and views on 'what lies beyond.' The only thing we truly know is what we are NOW. This IS OUR life. Experience it, live it; whatever will happen after that will happen [or not.] Thank you ArielMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811408757717187232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432175311042083431.post-89405992121406422392013-06-10T12:32:22.670-07:002013-06-10T12:32:22.670-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811408757717187232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432175311042083431.post-71180148227942027972013-06-10T12:10:36.128-07:002013-06-10T12:10:36.128-07:00Having learned from m'lady, Ariel, not to brin...Having learned from m'lady, Ariel, not to bring a sword to a pistol dual ;-),I have also experienced a Near-Death experience (probably should title this blog as "Near-Death" since he could not have written or produced the video afterwards). I have come close to dying more than once (attempted suicide included) and have also had close personal conversations with a friend who did experience the "light tunnel", relatives of hers, etc., although "God" was not involved at all.<br /> That said I did like the statements:<br /><br /> -The Other Side is totally individualized and each person experiences it uniquely.(God does not need to be a part of it)<br /> -Within the next 400 years such "star seeding" will begin.(I believe the Singularity will occur much sooner than that)<br /> -Black holes at the center of galaxies function as great processors of universal matter-- a total recycling machine. (Exactly - we are Stardust & will return as such) <br /><br />Thanks for another stimulating blog, Ariel - Love You!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494065398323158933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432175311042083431.post-39473406427850744472013-06-10T10:26:48.092-07:002013-06-10T10:26:48.092-07:00I Cor 13:12 (NIV) "For now we see only a refl...I Cor 13:12 (NIV) "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." I'm sure you recognize that as a quote from the "Love Chapter" of the Bible. Suddenly, your Rongzom Chözang quote makes much more sense to me, Ariel.<br />When I was at the depths of my suicidal depression, I decided I couldn't stand the pain any longer and stepped away from my body. My ex-wife was with me at the time, and called me back. But I was on the other side long enough to glean this bit of knowledge - Ridding yourself of your physical body does nothing to redeem your psyche, nor relieve your psychic suffering. If you're going to figure out life, and solve the riddle of your existence, you might as well work on it now, because it's not going to drop away just because you cross the threshold into the next phase. I'm glad Mellon had this experience, and admire his desire to help humanity understand the importance of the edict...Be. Here. Now.<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310578943161768680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432175311042083431.post-89190857626767115682013-06-10T03:59:53.373-07:002013-06-10T03:59:53.373-07:00Once again Ariel hit it on the Head.Once again Ariel hit it on the Head.Gay Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721020233675607048noreply@blogger.com
