All time is before you in the spirit world, spirit guides can see your entire life based on decisions you made and deals you made before birth but after conception with those spirits, your entire life is available for them to view and guide up to a point (as those deals sell you to them - they own your life), that point is divine intervention. Spirit guides can not predict what God will do in your life, they are blinded to that. It is a barrier they can not see past. Also God will sometimes hide certain things from them, possibly lotto numbers, but more likely the path those spirits are guiding you on don’t involve hitting the lottery so they won’t tell you.
Again their purpose is self serving, what they can get from you, which is relief from distress by placing that distress on you, and praise you give them for allowing you to suffer in their place.
I think it’s very enlightening that two of the Straight Dope’s most, I don’t know, spiritual posters are completely at odds over what Ouija boards do and how the spirit world works.
It is not scriptural, it is however experiences and insight I have had filtered through the scriptures, in that I mean nothing I have stated contradicts scripture AFAIK. There are principals, such as God knowing every cast of the die, and demons (aka spirit guides) not being able to see past divine intervention, that are based in scripture.
The first time there was caused by a near death experience. When you go into the light, or dark light, you experience unconditional love. You also have (are given) the knowledge of all things. Every question is answered, every care and concern dismissed. While you are there your body is clinically dead. But when you go back into your body, you come alive again. Some things you remember and some you don’t. Some can meditate back, and some can’t. You find your meaning and purpose. Love.
Making sure I’m keeping up here… **lekatt **has anecdotal evidence about the spirit world. The spirits there live in the present and can’t see the future. Except that the past present and future all happen at the same time.
Also… there are no lotteries in the spirit world. But they can obviously see enough of our world to communicate through a cheaply made cardboard medium. Not enough to communicate without said cardboard medium however.
And to top it all off, lekatt knows this because he’s been to the spirit world. or seen it. Whichever.
This hurts my head. I simply don’t understand how someone can get to a point where this even seems remotely logical.
First let me say - and I’m not being sarcastic - that while the near death experience must be a bit of a bummer, experiencing pure love must be wonderful. But when you say that you are given knowledge of all things, do you mean all things spiritual, or literally all things? And if spiritual, do all people who have knowledge of God’s love come out with the same knowledge? I know you didn’t specify that you experienced a religious deity’s love and knowledge, but I’m guessing from your previous posts that you did.
Taking it as read that I’m not going to put myself through a near death experience, how could I gain this love and knowledge? Bare in mind that I am an atheist, but I am a strong believer in what are commonly recognised as Christian values, such as love and compassion.
I didn’t see that post, but do you mean like a sleep paralysis experience? I’ve had those and sometimes I get the experience of observing my body, or feeling detached from it. The whole thing is so creepy but not a NDE, obviously.
Yes, literally all things. But can’t remember a lot of them. All gain the knowledge, but forget a lot as I did. We may remember different things. There is no religion in the spirit world, but “God” is everything. God is Love. There shoud be a better word than God, too much baggage. Atheists are welcome, all are welcome. You can experience the Love by being Love. Takes practice.
Reading a lot of near death experiences will help.
Boding mine. You were given all knowledge and all questions were answered in that short of time? I’m sure your questions were very important ones too. Do you have time for one really good revelation that you would like to share? Did you ask how to cure cancer, or anything important?
If you didn’t ask anything important with the first NDE, maybe somebody needs to damn near kill you again, in hopes of bringing on another NDE if this is how important questions get answered.
Maybe start lining up these NDE folk, knocking them in the head, provided that doesn’t have them forget what they are supposed to ask. Yeah, I think I’m on to something.
What opinion? It’s right there on your website, you had a dream that you had a heart attack, then you experianced what you call an NDE. You were never diagnosed as having a heart attack by a doctor, and your conclusion that you were near death is a product of your dream.
You are really doing a diservice to those people who have actually been near death, and had some kind of profound experience as a result. You just had a dream, but now fancy yourself as spiritually enlighted, and qualified as some sort of expert on NDE’s. Nothing could be further from the truth.
That’s interesting. So he can’t or won’t even distinguish between those that had a NDE which were brought on by a real life threatening situation, and his dream which only had him dreaming he had a life threatening situation happen to him.
Would somebody be kind enough to give a link to his website.
Just because Lekatt did not have anything officially diagnosed does not preclude a heart attack or NDE. At the very least it would be classified as a out of body experience, many of which are spiritual. His experiences are consistent with many other OBE and NDE.
