  1. He almost entered the Source.

    Die at home, not a hospital. Fuck with your friends and family. Resist the light, or be prepared to hang up your coat.

  2. All subjective. Take a look at all the torture being done in the world 10000 serial killers in the United States alone. Think of the most horrendous torture that you can do to someone and this has been done. Now match it up with all this love bullshit. Yeah you loved unconditional love all that kind of b***** yet millions of tortured everyday in acts of violence it can't even be described. The thing that put us here is an evil motherfuker and it's just f**** with you with this love bulshit

  3. Bu.. bu.. God judges people and then punishes them with eternal fire. Only our group will be allowed in to "pArADiSe" as we are "SO sPEc!AL!"
    We're also VERY judgmental just like our L0rD! Burn in hell disbelievers hahaha (Evil laugh)..

    .

    I know it was cringe but that's how these "special" people think..

  4. I've written books on both the NDE and meditation. I'm a Christian that has grown the most through meditation and tge nde. My faith makes more sense through them.

  5. "There is nothing to forgive, you were never judged",…..THIS!!!!! This is why the judgemental religion teaches never sat well w me!

  6. comments.. the word "Testimony" and trying to put a single figure on it just makes me absolutely cringe. You learned nothing from the NDE if you have had one you just know. I've had three of them, there is nothing testimonial about it. Just beauty and love, we are always loved, you judge yourself.

    For some reason, i'm not done yet, I still have teaching to do. Pro tip: don't do it to make yourself feel better, its about them.. not you.

  7. Very dangerous to say “there’s nothing to forgive, you were never judged” is not only wrong but extremely dangerous because if there was no judgement then there can’t be a Jesus dying for our sins. Everyone can live as they pleased and never worry because “there’s no judgement” time to read your Bibles people.

  8. I appreciated this talk very much, thank you! But ive also seen some NDE-experiencers talking about going to hell and having a nightmare-experience beyond words. Is there also a hell:(?

  9. This is another great testimony of God’s love. I just wanted to know if it’s true that there is no judgement for everyone including unbelievers or not as the brother does not clarify that. If it’s not true, I really hope the brother can clarify that. Jesus said He is the Way to Father.

  10. God has not given us yoga at all that comes from the devil 👿
    Yoga my foot ! You’ve been deceived and now the devil is using you to lead other gullible ppl astray !
    Jesus The Christ is the only way to heaven NOT yoga

  11. In Jesus, even in this earth, I can feel the unconditional love of God.

    Peace my brothers and sisters, let us just love one another.

  12. A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'…

    My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' – resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE…

    Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence – the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future – right down to the minutest particles of dust – each being an individual ripple or wave.

    The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter – I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.

    For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects – including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars – none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.

    Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down – Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists – including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them – our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant – our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma – and more importantly, our enlightenment.

    The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory – whenever we experience or express our emotions – or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.

    The second law – Renge – Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho – these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.

    The final and third part of the tri-combination – Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge – or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter – as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication – perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.

    Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us – all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux – constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ – the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation – rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge – and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu – which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.

    On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives – as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives – even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances – turn them into positive ones – or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are – regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect – the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.

    For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.

    NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self – this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things – such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally – rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within – including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time – to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

  13. Wow! I have never heard a nde sound so much like my own. The experience you had including the shame part and what God said to you…. It makes me have tears of joy because he said something similar to me. I told him with my being God, I have shamed you. He said, no, I love you. Like he couldn’t believe that I couldn’t believe how accepted I was and am. Bless you in your teachings and journey. I found so much joy in your video.

  14. As an NDEr I thank you for sharing your experiences
    I wish people could truly understand how much God loves as
    His love is unconditional and without judgment
    As a life long atheist I had my NDE with Jesus and I have no idea why, but his love and joy and peace was the most amazing thing anyone can experience and one trillion more, his smile is healing and filled with joy and peace and love and compassion
    God loves as all the same way my friends and without absolutely any judgment

    I wish you all well and many blessings
    Be love be blessed

  15. So validating to my own experience. Today is my "birthday"…but it's far from it. I still long for that place more than anything and almost anyone in this life, and I wonder if it will ever cease. I describe it to those who can't grasp it as if you were to imagine not knowing or remembering what pain and heartbreak even feels like, and it being equal to trying to understand what that love and bliss feels like in this form of existing. There's no greater love, and we are ALL LOVED with absence of judgement and beyond anything you can feel on this earth by God. I don't fear death AT ALL anymore. On the contrary, I miss it and welcome it.

  16. Christ told St Silouan, an old monk at a monastery in Greece “ Keep thy mind in hell and despair not “
    Meaning, maintain the Remembrance of hell so that your earthly bodily and spiritual passions may be kept in check so that you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

  17. Jesus died for our Sins and if we Repent we are forgiven. It doesn't mean you can live a life of Sin and not be Judged if we die in our Sins.
