The Unveiling
The Unveiling
That was just one of the visions I had while being pulled through the tunnel. I also saw a small animal who I did not recognize but now know as my cat Tenz, but let me get on with the story of the N.D.E. Eventually I reached the end of the tunnel. There was no bright light, as many others have reported, but instead I found myself in a small room lined with dark drapes and a high, court like bench at one side. Behind the bench were three cloaked figures. I asked something like "what place is this?" and my guide told me it was a place where people go when they die. I had many other questions but have never been able to remember them. What I do remember is that every time I asked a question the response seemed to come in a riddle as though I should know the answer. I was getting the impression that there was a huge practical joke being played and everyone was in on it except me. I continued asking questions for a while and was only getting more and more confused and frustrated with the replies. Finally I asked "If this is where people go when they die, then where is everyone?". There was a pause then a nod of acknowledgment from the three cloaked figures and suddenly the walls opened up and the veil over my consciousness was lifted and I found myself at the edge of a beautiful and brightly colored arena like place. It was as though I could see in all directions at the same time unlike the limited vision we have with our eyes. There before me were all the souls of humanity and there was joy and laughter and a feeling of love that was 1000 times stronger than any I have ever felt in life, the entire place was saturated with it and I knew this must be heaven although I had never been convinced of it's existence before. It didn't take long before I realized that whatever thoughts came into my mind were being heard by everyone there and I felt as if I were standing naked in front of the world. Then I came to realize that whenever anyone would have a thought it would be heard by all and we were all standing naked in front of eachother and the world which was us. We all retained our individuality yet shared a common or "universal" mind. Being outside of the material and physical world meant that logical patterns did not apply and no memories lasted for more than a few seconds as they were always being replaced by new ones. It was a place of the here and now, the eternal present where there is no past and no future. Everything is experienced and appreciated for the moment at hand and there is no concept of time as it applies to the physical world only. This spawned and endless flow of humor and laughter as one illogical thought would lead to others from different souls and it just rolled on and on that way forever. It was the greatest party that ever could be and everyone was consumed with laughter and love and it made the reality that we know on Earth seem to be nothing more than a joke. Is life just one big practical joke being played on us? It just might be, depending on how you look at it and what you believe is important in life. With the help of my guide I learned many things about the meaning of life and the afterlife and how they relate to eachother.
The floor of the arena was as a platform with a funnel like hole in the center. The hole spiralled down into a vortex which seemed to be composed of question marks. At the tail of the vortex the question marks spread out and seemed to become the stars in the heavens and below them was the earth. This was the vision of the universe, both physical and spiritual which was in my view throughout the experience and made clear to me the connection between them. It demonstrated a "fifth dimention" which is still unknown to science and perhaps always will be. The key to staying above the vortex was faith and the firm belief in the reality and true existance of what I was seeing and experiencing. At one point I started to question things and had some doubts that it was real. I thought perhaps I was just imagining it and at that moment I began slipping down into the vortex of questions. With a little help from my guide I reaffirmed my faith and belief in the heaven around me and found that by doing that I could pull myself back up out of the vortex and into the stability of the party of souls. Above the vortex there was total knowledge of the universe and I found that every question I ever had, now had an answer attached to it. It was a place of 'all seeing' and 'all knowing' and total understanding of all the riddles of the universe. It was a place in the presence of God or it was God, I don't know which because no one really knows who or what God is but I knew this was home to the soul. At that time I understood how our lives are created moment by moment from that place although here on earth our minds are veiled and we are not allowed to see the source of our souls. We must wait until our lives have ended here and the body dies, then with faith and the belief in the afterlife, we will be taken there. I learned that we all create our own destiny and what we believe in at the time of our death is what we will recieve in the hereafter. In a sense, we are judged by our own souls which know all too well how we have lived our lives and what we deserve in the end. I don't mean to start preaching and I have never been one to go to church or practice religeon but I believe this is important to mention.
