This statement he made says it all:

“The love of God is, It’s so pure, it’s so perfect, it’s so incredible. I didn’t see any creatures, I didn’t see any angels, I didn’t see the pearly gates, Peter checking ID’s, and all this stuff in people’s concepts. I didn’t see any of that. But the glory of God, the radiance of God, but mostly God Himself and the magnificence of His love is—the undiluted love of God was being poured into me. There was nothing negative allowed to be in the presence of God. So I was pure and I was innocent. And it’s so incredible the ecstasy, the bliss, the joy, all the stuff we’ve read about, when you really experience it, we don’t have words. We’re going to have to invent new words.”

I liked this statement: "We’re going to have to invent new words.”

yeah, new words, actually the language of God in song. All things will be new, nothing will last, all of our knowledge now will be moot (burn the bachelors), but being before God and not having the sin, don’t know how that will be.

One thought, the antithesis is horrible. NO love, NO joy, just the opposite. Satan is silencing our freedom to speak the TRUTH.

I have often said that those of us who have had these experiences were given a taste of the golden carrot dangled from the stick we carry in front of us and were then sent back with the knowledge that we can have that experience while still in the physical body.

That is the purpose of religion.

Allow me to say that what this man describes is possible to experience in a surrendering meditation.

Just reading his words brings tears to my eyes as it causes me to re-experience the journey.
