Would you care to share about your NDE? Or if you have already, do you have a link? Very interesting stuff you posted here. Any anecdotes of “knocking someone off their feet?”
My experience is really not important... What I learned in the process could be very helpful to people. Allow me to say it has changed my belief in the Bible as the word of God to an “experiential knowing.”
“How has having this ability changed your life in any way?” The gifts are not necessarily blessings. I feel people’s physical and emotional joys and pains just by being near or thinking about them. As much a curse as a blessing. The NDE was in 1988. I tried to keep it a low profile for most of the past 25 years. To go public with it you risk losing your connection gained during the experience.
“Have you helped people?” No, but people are helped through me.
Can you “read” people better? If so, what does this mean to you? Read them in detail... When you read a person’s soul you understand them, their motive and you don’t judge them as you understand why they are they way they are. I do slip up often in that category though.
“I have so many questions. I’m sure you will be disparaged by some here, but not by me. Thank you.” That’s ok. My identity does not depend upon people believing me. If it did, then it would mean I had lost my strength from my higher connection. I’m a sinner and fighting the same battles as everyone else!
Whoa, all of a sudden, the evil of lashon hara (Hebrew-evil tongue) makes so much sense.
In my thoughts, I’ve been playing with the idea that the next step in our evolution will include the ability to experience what you’re experiencing. Some, as you, are experiencing it now.
Thank you very much for your response. Finding that you now have “experiential knowing” the Bible to be the word of God is most interesting. How fortunate we are to have the Bible!
