that spark may be the near death experience many, including myself, have experienced (I went the other way- away from the light- and wound up in hell- however, I believe the experience to be nothing ore than misfiring neurons- but wow! it was like a ‘double nightmare’ thing that seemed so real)
“I went the other way- away from the light- and wound up in hell”
It’s not that you necessarily went the other way. In order to pass into heaven you must go through the dark realm which acts as an etheric fence to keep souls out of Heaven that are not supposed to be there.
The tunnel with light shining through it is the portal that opens for souls to cross through this dark realm. Without God’s Love shining through the portal onto your soul (which casts out all fear), the perception of the mis-shapen beings in the dark area create fear which acts as ballast causing the soul to not be able to cross over into Heaven.
It’s not that you went to hell. It was not your time to cross over. You had some very important lessons to learn for your soul to grow. When it is your time, the portal will open up and you will have no doubt.
