Hi, Mark:

I don't follow deism. In fact, one may even say that I'm far away from it. I had a very profound experience of my God(?) in the afterlife. Nowadays, I'm following my God(?) "promise" (of merging) while I'm in this world. That "promise" is my religion, so to speak. In a way, I was resurrected to give witness to the concrete reality of Nirvana, which is absolute freedom (the only real freedom) via one-ness with God(?), since there is only one God(?).

Peace.

Wow, thank you for sharing, as one who has experienced what I have only a small taste off ;-).

peace

Hi,

You are most welcome, Mark. Keep in mind that I'm not talking about Jesus Christ, nor his promised kingdom, since your faith is  Christianity. Perhaps Christians have a different end-game compared to my Void "awareness"?? My favorite play with this similar tone is Thornton Wilder's Our Town.

I'm only sharing my afterlife experience; however, few other (resurrected) mystics have experienced the same. Apparently, there are tokens or reminders or signs to validate that the experience was not just a dream.

Peace to you, too.

"You know as well as I do that the DEAD don't stay interested in us living people for very long. Gradually, gradually, they lose hold of the earth...and the ambitions they had...and the pleasures they had...and the things they suffered...and the people they loved. They get weaned away from earth -- that's the way I put it, weaned away. And they stay here (the Void) while the earth part of 'em  burns away, burns out; and all that time they slowly get indifferent to what's goin' on in Grover's Corners.

They're waitin'. They're waitin' for something that they feel is comin'. Something important, and GREAT. Aren't they waitin' for the eternal part in them to come out clear?

And what's left when memory's gone, and your identity, Mrs. Smith?" THORNTON WILDER'S OUR TOWN

Mark, a friend of mine was having inner ear problems & dizziness. She took a supplement that cleared it up in a few days. She's out of town right now, when she gets back I'll ask her what it was and get back to you.

Always full of grace mark, you are an inspiration.

Just let me say this one thing. We worship our actors, singers, and sports personalities, but it is men like you that are the true backbone and heros of our societies. Men like you are my Heros.

Geez, don't know what to think of this, but thank you very much.

Maybe your problems have a higher purpose in your life. Maybe they will influence your path so that you stay more at home and don't die in some accidental car crash. You really don't know, so what point does it make to pray to feel better, when realization of that could mean your death? Remember what Jesus demanded from God in the garden: "God, let be Thy will". I think best for you is to go the same way, just give your thanks in prayer to God for what you're experiencing, and ask for fulfillment of His will, nothing else.

Wise words, thank you.
