I've only been right here, right now. The point of view in now has changed, but it has always been now.

It seems with all these N.D.Es we are getting closer to the truth, about heven n earth, something is going to give us the truth, weather it be tptb or spiritual beings telling us soon, the people having nde,s seem to be more reliable than mediums and spiritualists, in fact i think the mediums and spiiritualists are getting the info from N.D.Es.

I have not ascended into those realms, but the Holy Spirit did descend on (or in) me a few years back and it was the most intensely profound moment of my life. I knew true ecstacy and love during that brief few moments. I didn't go to Heaven. Heaven came to me and changed me forever.

The secret to 'entering nirvana or heaven' is understanding self, or learning love, both are the same just worded differently.

depends what we all define as nirvana/heaven.
As long as you are happy, then that must be the true path... |

Heaven and Hell are not geographical, they are within you.
Nirvana, means in a way that ego dies, desire dissapears, the moment desire is transcended ego is transcended, and that is to know the ultimate bliss, the eternal ecstasy. So it is all within us.

I don't know what to call my experience but it felt wonderful. It was the first time this happened to me. I was dreaming the other night but it was unlike any other dream I ever recalled. I will describe it visually to you but the most significant thing about it is the feeling I experienced. It was a mixture of exhiliration, joy, love, happiness, inner peace, laughter...almost too overwhelming. It felt complete.
I was walking or should I say gliding or floating...anyway, I was in the road where I live and I turned into a street next to a farm. Instead of pavement, the road was covered in brightly colored baby grass. I headed down the road, the sun was low and bright and I was going toward it. Suddenly there is an edge of a forest ahead of me with the sun shining right above the tree line. The colors are the most amazing I have ever seen.Instantly I find myself above the trees, then as quickly as this happens I am sucked down deep into the forest. I am falling but not too fast. I am facing the sky and as I am sinking the trees seem to stretch incredibly high into the sky. It is darker down there but splashes of sunlight create the most beautiful sight. Then I am in the sky, coming down gently. I can see below me my childhood backyard. It seems bigger than it really is. Almost like I am seeing it through my childhood eyes where everything is big. As I am coming down, I see a dog running on the lawn wagging its tail, greeting me. I realize it is my childhood dog which I miss very much. I start to think that I have died and if I go see my dog I will stay in this realm. I choose to stay and I wake up shortly after. Describing it doesn't do it justice. It was the most amazing feeling I ever had. |

I've been there once. At least it felt like it, my shrink still calls it a psychotic breakdown.
To realize the profound and infinite hollowness of the cosmos on an experiential level takes the ground out from under one's feet. This aspect of the mysterium tremendum sends one into a sort of existential free-falling, and one doesn't know where and if there is a safety net. As Nietzsche said, "Be careful as you gaze into the abyss. It may gaze back into you." And yet, the very thing that makes this experience so maddening or unnerving is what also makes it humorous, for to discover that our basic conception of reality is an illusion has a kind of cosmic joke about it. A merging of the inner with the outer, a merging of the ego with the Unconscious or the Self, and, very significantly, the occurrence of all this while one is fully awake and alert as opposed to being in a visionary, dream, or trance state. Together with oneness there occurs the experience of emptiness, what in Buddhism is called the Void. When the universe is perceived as a single, infinite expanse with nothing separate in it or beside it to quantify or contrast it to, it has the sensation of being nothing at all and is hence experienced as a Void. If you think of the universe as a single sheet of steel, for example, with nothing else in it, well, soon it has the quality of being like air, empty. Oneness makes possible emptiness, and vice versa. I've experienced it It was fun at first, scary, undeniably beyond what words can convey. Then I got lost in it, I lost myself, someone, something else within me found my body and took control, for a short moment, but enough to scare me of what lies within myself. I cant imagine the horrific fear and loathing that lies with in me, I also can not fathom the endless unconditional love that I feel towards the universe. I now know without a doubt that all things are one with the consciousness of infinity. I am entirely the universe, everything lies within my consciousness, I am the manifestation and the creator of everything. This is the truth for all conscious beings, we are all unique, yet simultaneously one divine singularity. I've just made a video about this whole experience of mine, I always hesitate to call it enlightment, since I can't know if that's really what I've experienced. Somone with a medical background calls it psychosis. Anyways, if you want to you can watch this video of mine, but it basically states what I said ITT. |

Yes but there are different spheres of heaven each increasing in perfection. The absolute (ultimate heaven) is beyond anything words can describe but the lower realms of heaven are similar to earth minus the wars, chaos, decay for example plants dont die and there are no insects and things like that. You also have immense freedom and can move instantaneously from one area to another.

i think i was there once, i was in the deep trance, my thoughts were traveling trough the vasts of the universe when i felt something that can be best described as a "touch of god", i've seen big triangle lock flying above everything. i wanted to get to the other side of that door/lock and it unlocked itself. As i "flew" in there i was sorrounded by light and i saw angels smiling at me everything was cloudy and bright. i knew it was haven, becouse it was perfect, it was just the best. i was litterally and absoluetly happy. then i fell out and got back in my body. it was perfect but i didn't mannage to get to that place again by any kind of medidation or imagining.

if you're talking about the buddhist nirvana, it's roughly equivalent/the same as samadhi.
everything is made of light, you feel unlimited connection to everything and you experience limitless beauty and bliss. checkout my youtube page for more. |

Heaven, Film Directed by Diane Keaton.
Interesting truth-satire ![]() What people of all walks of life think Heaven, God, hell, death, is like. People have been brainwashed from childhood, about Heaven, as if it were a physical place.
