Do you think that many NDEs are deceptions “from below”, meant to teach us that the narrow gate is wide and open, full of “cheap grace”, when in reality it’s not?
Whenever a heavy burden we are carrying is removed, there is a feeling of profound exhilaration. The heavy burden is carried in the soul and anchored in the physical body.
An NDE is an instant “Dying Daily” event and yields many of the same results as described by Paul. The problem is that it is very difficult to hold onto the Heavenly focus and be here on earth. It’s a constant battle. It’s like trying to swim while holding onto our bag of gold!
If you see an NDE’er exhibiting pride concerning their experience, they have either never had an experience or lost the benefit of the experience. They have developed a spiritual ego identity. They now own the experience as a possession rather than sharing it for the message intended by those who sent the individual back.
When we are full of ourselves we have no room for God.
