A "near death" experience is NOT (as it is too often made out to be) the same as a death experience. A person who has had such an experience is NOT qualified to tell the rest of us what the "other side" is like, because he did not GET to the other side (the fact that he is here to talk about it is proof of that!)

I'm a bit surprised that you cast away along with your necklace an opportunity for self discovery.

Oh yea nonbeliever! Don't know know that you have no hope of gaining understanding unless you buy the inevitable book and audio CD collection? sheesh.
Only by enriching the guy's bank account can enlightnment be attained. Well until the next crank comes along with something else.

I see I have a newly hatched troll. How perfect. I tell you what, I am going to ignore you as best I can. This way I don't say anything politically incorrect or get quagmired into another giant sucking waste of energy. I do appreciate momentum, but the downward variety is getting pretty old.

I tell people that just as life is completely interactive here on this side, the other side is also completely interactive.

I asked a lot of questions and the light would answer in a most brilliant way, so that I would personally understand. I would fully and completely understand the information that was being released to me, transferred to me.

Every question that I had, though, every fundamental question was answered.

I think each and every one of us is born with a different set of questions to the universe for us to explore. There are many things that I am not interested in that I didn’t ask about.

“I would like to be able to bring things back to the world, things that would help the world.”

So I asked to be a nuts and bolts guy, and I was given that gift and the enhanced gift of invention. I have been tested in universities to be able to invent on command on just about any subject. That is one of the things that I am really well known for, actually, bringing back useful technical information.

I have a lot of patents.

You can check those out at the patent office for technologies, for regeneration healing tools. I am an eclectic inventor and I invent every day. It never stops and I record everything.

It turns out that I was exactly right. I helped decode a genetic disease and the information was very accurate.

We are all one.

The thing I think about in New Age beliefs and religion (if you can call it that) is that it is like a tinkertoy set where you take the bits that you like and discard what you don't like or agree with.

I opt out of organised religion entirely because I not only abhor the a la carte variety but also the stiff dogma of the older sects of the cult.

You could say that my daily life is my religion. I act on a daily basis according to my own ideals of right and wrong. I don't need to be preached at and threatened with eternal damnation in order to choose to be a decent person and not make too big a mess of things.

To me, holding your belief merely on faith would be tantamount to having faith that the airmattress that you have floating in your pool could be ridden across the atlantic ocean. It is full of air and will almost certainly spring a leak eventually.

I totally agree with the invasion comment. They don't form communities in a growing fashion but rather want to assimilate you like the Borg.

If we could strip away all superstitions

psychological programs that have been instilled by religions that are very hard to break.

As I mentioned before, there are different levels (or realms) and there are different inhabitants in these realms. Lower vibrational entities who are of a negative nature are at the next level of vibration to our 3-d reality (4-d if you count time.)

It's good to know the history. I don't expect you to listen to me, but please research on your own if you're the least bit interested.

Tell me more. I am in the prison of truth, and the barricades of superstition will not let me out. Even the "Hail Mary" has failed me, and I can't get a Jezebel to look at me twice.

Here's where we get on thin ice.

It's difficult to separate wisdom that has been handed down from superstition.

The great teachers lead you to listen to your own heart, knowing that pain and suffering will visit you as great teachers until these things no longer serve their purpose. Anyone who says otherwise is only there to have you follow them under the guise of assured safety and protection. Unfortunately, discernment is up to the student.

Far too often, great teachers are looked upon to do the work for the student, even when they try adamantly to not be looked upon as a "god." The master will point to the mountain, but the follower will focus on the finger, not the mountain..

Even though they try and say that they are just like anyone else, but for their having "crossed over," they are put on a pedestal to be untouchable or condemned.

They use parables because they force the student to think, knowing that by not thinking and just accepting, there is no expanded awareness.

this leads the die-hard materialist to presume all of it is nonsensical made-up stories.

The four shining paths of yoga state that ppl can enter nirvana (the top of the mountain) four different ways: mind; heart (love); study (with a master); or devotion (chanting and praying.)

The razor's edge is the mind path. It is the most difficult because the mind has to be tested and brought under control.

Some students cannot have a teacher at all, but need to learn on their own. I was one of those. I don't make the best teacher for that reason.

Logic and reason does not serve as a sharpening tool to the one on the path of devotion. To them, they reach nirvana through entering into a mystical state of vibration, such as the whirling dervishes of Turkey. There's many paths
