“The beings on the other side, they don’t care. Just be loving.’”
Can you dismiss that these beings aren’t deceptive, perhaps demons? Why trust that they’re telling the truth?
“There is a higher level of understanding that brings all religions together without discounting them individually.”
Jesus said that there was one way to The Father. This statement seems to disagree with Jesus.
BTW: I read many of your posts with high interest! God Bless.
Very good questions.
Allow me to answer your second comment/question first.
Jesus stated in John 14 that no one will find Our Father except through Him. That is a very true statement. I can personally attest to that truth.
However, if a Buddhist stated that no one could get to God except through Buddha, I agree with that too.
And if a Hindu stated that no one could find God except through Krishna, I agree with that too.
But how can they all be true?
Consider a different model. Finding God is not by following someone down a path to a destination. It is a journey inward. Let’s consider a different model that better represents reality.
In the same Chapter of the Bible mentioned above, John 14, Jesus states that He is in Our Father and Our Father is in Him. Further down in the same chapter, Jesus states, “If I am in you (this is what communion is all about), then My Father that is in Me is also in you.
Also remember my comments about our conscious awareness expanding in transcendence as our soul grows. We exist in Jesus and in God.
Let’s use a model of Russian Nesting Dolls where we are the little doll in the middle and God is the big outer doll in which we exist. Between us and God there are many other dolls. We cannot become one with God, the big outer doll without going through all the dolls between us and God. Thus, no matter your religion, you cannot get to God except through Jesus.
I mentioned previously that I personally have met Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus who met Jesus during their NDE. They don’t share that except in confidence as it would destroy their family identity. The shared it with me privately.
Jesus is here right now, but most cannot see or hear Him as their conscious awareness is limited to their physical body. He is my Savior, not because He died on the cross, but because He lowered Himself to our low level to teach us how to grow. This is why the question mentioned in John 4:1 is so powerful in testing spirits. It works and has saved me from imitators.

“Can you dismiss that these beings aren’t deceptive, perhaps demons? Why trust that they’re telling the truth?”
Again, a very good question.
Discernment is critically important in identifying imitators.
First I use the words in the Bible and test what they say vs the Bible. I accept the Bible as the truth.
Second, I’ve used John’s words in 1 John 4:1 on how to test spirits.
Probably the most important is to constantly invite the Holy Spirit or Helper Spirit into you. It will guide you and teach you. It has saved me from my stupidity many times.
Finally, by the feeling of Love. An imitator spirit cannot radiate Love. Not only that, they are afraid of Love. This is why Jesus advised us to Love our enemies.
I’ve had demonic spirits attack me many times when doing exorcisms. They have taken over people’s bodies and came charging at me, growling, hossing, barking and screaming. They get about 5 feet from me and stop dead like they hit a wall. It is not me that stopped them, but the Holy Spirit flowing through me. They are very afraid of it.
It is that same radiant Light that controls demonic spirits when removing them from a person’s physical body. If you experience fear, you lose. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit it is impossible to experience fear as the perfect Love of the Holy Spirit casts out all fear.
The closer you grow toward Heaven, you enter an area where imposter spirits cannot exist. You will know by the Love and Light these beings radiate that you can trust them.
