research conclusions |

Near-death experiencers
who have actually seen
the brilliant light and experienced the ecstatic love, know without a
doubt they have seen
God. Once they enter into the light of God, they never want to leave. But
they are told it is not their time to die, so they return having this experience of God
seared into their very hearts and minds. They carry this experience back
with them to share with others, but they sometimes find difficulty doing
so. But their experience with the light is just too important to keep to themselves. For example, one particular experiencer was
told that the time is
now for humanity to know for certain that there is life after death.Air is
to the physical world as God is to the spirit world. God is life, light, time and
space, the pattern for all life, the energy of all matter, the heart of all that matters, the very essence of all
being, the source behind every sun, the source of all light and love, the core of all
things, the single point of infinite light and absolute love, and the very life force of the
universe.
God is the
Light
That Loves
Within the light of God, we realize that
everyone and everything is connected to God. In the light is the cure for all diseases,
the knowledge within every universe. The light is wisdom and love beyond all
comprehension. (Dr. Dianne Morrissey)
The closer one gets to God, the closer one
comes to all the light, love and knowledge in the universe. (Jayne
Smith)
The joy of being in the light of God can be
so intense, we may think we are going to shatter. But God will not let us shatter. We are
not permitted to take in more of this bliss and joy than we are able to handle at a time.
(Jayne Smith)
God is Love
God is love in its purest form ... To be in his presence and share his
love, we must become as he is and learn to love without judgments or
conditions. (Betty Eadie)
God's standard is pure love. Our lives will
be compared to this standard in the light of God. Pure love is serving God and others
without any self-centered motives. Self-centered motives are what makes our acts
(as the scriptures say) "dirty rags" before God. (Daniel Rosenblit)
God is Everything
The only reality is God and God is love.
God loves without limit. God is everything. (Linda
Stewart)
I remember a near-death
experiencer say that their experience of being one with God was like suddenly knowing
absolutely everything - like suddenly becoming aware of every grain of sand in the universe and knowing why
it was put there. (Kevin
Williams)
God is everything. (Dr. George Rodonaia)
God is Life
God is everywhere because nothing exists that
is not a part of God. God is neither a man nor a woman nor a thing. Life itself is God.
(Dr. PMH Atwater)
All creation is God exploring God's very
being through every way imaginable, through every one of us.
(Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
The Biblical name for God, "I AM,"
really has a question mark behind it. "I AM? WHAT AM I?" (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
God is Darkness
God is more than light. God is also the
darkness. (Dr. George Rodonaia)
God is Energy
The Master-Vibrational energy of
God controls the universe and seems to regulate everything except the ignorance within the
minds of people on Earth. (Arthur
Yensen)
God is the creative energy of the universe,
expressing itself as us and everything else. Wherever we are, God is. Like God, we are
constantly expressing ourselves in some way. (Jan
Price)
The Nature of God
God has a vantage point we can never perceive. He sees into our eternal
pasts and futures and knows our eternal needs. In his great love he
answers prayers according to this eternal and omniscient perspective. He
answers all prayers perfectly. (Betty Eadie)
The small inner voice in your thoughts is the
voice of God. (Sandra Rogers)
God wants us to become as he is, and has invested us with godlike
qualities. I understood that he wants us to draw on the powers of
heaven, and that by believing we are capable of doing so, we can. (Betty Eadie)
The little voice inside us that prompts us to
do good things comes from God. It is the light of love inside each of us. (Kerry
Kirk)
God doesn't force anyone to heaven, hell, or
anywhere. We are free to choose and build our destiny. All paths lead back to God.
(Edgar Cayce)
God perfectly understands our lack of knowledge. He knows that most of us do
not remember our commitments to him. In his eyes we are like little
children: susceptible and even expected to make mistakes. (Betty Eadie)
In the light of God, it is impossible to lie
to yourself, or to others or to God. There is no place for secrets to hide.
(Dr. George Ritchie)
God does not judge us when we die. In the
clear light and love of God, some may judge, condemn and punish only themselves.
There is no judgment except the judgment one levels at oneself. (Kevin
Williams)
God has promised not to intervene in our
lives unless we ask. (Betty Eadie)
It is God's love for us that sends us on our
journey and it is our love for God that allows us to return to God's loving
arms again. (David Goines)
God feels the pain we feel and
inflict on others. (Sandra Rogers)
One of the grandest mysteries of God is his foreknowledge. Truth is
knowledge of things as they were, as they are, and as they are to come. God,
possessing all truth, has the ability to know all things in advance. This
being the case, we can trust him to give us only that which will be good for
us in completing our life's mission successfully. (Betty Eadie)
God's overriding desire is to purify the
darkness of our souls, irrespective of the suffering it puts us through to achieve that
end. If we learn to accept our situations in life, instead of getting angry, then our
suffering is greatly minimized. (Daniel Rosenblit)
God never uses his love to hurt us. To do so would countermand his own
law of judgment. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." So
he will never let us down, will never forsake us. His love is extended
to all, and he knows exactly how to reach each person. (Betty Eadie)
God Encompasses All
Religions
God does not care about theology. God
cares mostly about your heart. (Rev. Howard Storm)
It doesn't matter what you call God. The different religions have different ways of explaining the same God.
(Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
Your beliefs shape the kind of feedback you
get from God. (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)
God is not concerned
about a person's sexual
orientation whether gay or straight. (Kerry Kirk)

Kevin Williams'
Idea
of the Concept Called "God" |
|
|
|
Many near-death experiencers have tried to describe God and it is clear that words are useless when trying to completely convey what God is. In fact, the very term God is practically a useless term, if not the most useless term because it has been abused by so many for so long. With this in mind, I will try to convey my own understanding
of the concept called God.

Imagine all of reality, everything that there is, to be a gigantic dream. It is a dream for which there exists nothing outside of it. This dream is pure thought, emotion, deeds and words. The dream is every event that was, is and will be. Some words that have been used in an attempt to describe this dream
are: |
|
|
|
(1) |
As pure thought, this dream is Mind itself.
It is Light that contains all the knowledge there is.
The Light is what everything is made up of. |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
As pure emotion, this dream is unconditional Love itself.
It is the power that holds everything together - the
power behind every atom. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
As pure Being, this dream is Life
itself. It is thought put into action - into the physical and
every other dimension of reality. The dreamer is living Spirit with Mind as
the builder and everything (the dream) is the result. |
|
|
|
|
Trying to describe
exactly what or who God is is like trying to describe life
itself - an impossibility.
It is impossible to fathom the unfathomable. Words, by their
very nature, are limiting. Once you define something you have
set a limit on it.
