Near death experience of Howard Storm
RE: Near death experience of Howard Storm
I know its late, but I read this as Howard Stern.

Imagine my disappointment....

RE: Near death experience of Howard Storm
For me, hallucinating showed me that what I could see through my eyes and other senses, were very limited. Just imagine if you were constantly hallucinating, you would think that's normal. It made me realize that what I think is normal is just in my brain, and my senses. We can only sense a limited spectrum of sights, smells, and feeling, yet we interpret that as reality, really only through our own ego, which is a perception our brain creates to make sense of the world around us. At the same time we all understand we can't see xrays, hears certain frequencies outside of what are ears are capable of, or feel what our nerves can't feel. It's almost like accepting ignorance. Sure we have tools to sense a lot beyond our senses, but these are still developing in their strength. Near death experiences are basically a shattering of our paradigms.

Perhaps it's time that I start talking about this again.

We are all souls, and here for a purpose of learning how to love. All reading this need to understand you chose to come to the physical realm. You chose to have a chance. Many are influenced by the physical because we are meant to experience this existence for what it is, so we can learn from it. It is not a place where we can always come to. Some are old souls, some are new souls, but we have all come for a chance to live. The opportunity here is something you don't get often, and we tend to take this for granted. Even I forget why I'm here often. The more you research the afterlife, and God, the more you will stop making mistakes. For many, it's all about living for the now, instead of living for who we truly are. Again myself included.

NDEs are important because they tell us who we are and where we came from and where we will go. Don't doubt your death is the end, and what you do has no consequences. I'm not here to judge, I'm here to let you know this is not the end. It's just the beginning...

Do you understand that things aren't automatically true just because you say them?

Even if you repeat them endlessly?

What I'm talking about is the truth that affects all humans. It's basically spiritual law, and there is no use trying to go against it, since you will lose. I'm only trying to help people advance themselves, and myself. We all have free will to choose our destiny, but if you want to learn where destiny leads, you need to listen to those who have passed on. It will happen to us all, death is the only guarantee in life. The purpose of life is to learn how to love unconditionally, which is almost impossible, but when you separate yourself from the physical and reach towards the spiritual, you can achieve it. Trust me it's harder then anything. We are here to experience life, but also keep in mind, there is a law behind the scenes.

So no, you don't understand this then.

Even if you call it a spiritual law. Even if you claim it's for our own good. It's not true just because you say it.

Is it false because you say it is?

Those who have experienced it will approve of this message. Those that don't want to believe it will also besmirch it.

In the end, love is all that matters to your development. It will determine your vibrational level, and where you go. Even in your life here, the state of mind will determine your experiences.

Trust me sometimes I wish it's wasn't true, so I could take certain people out of the equation. There are times I wish we were just animals, and could avoid the consequences of the spiritual realms. There comes a time of accepting what is for what it is. I found this out a few years back, and this information is essential to the human experience. The truth needs to be known.

Yammering on about this again?  We've already told you in a hundred different ways that we're not buying it.  You need PROOF of your "truth", otherwise it's just fantasy.  Did you think that by going on and on ad nauseum about your little fantasy is going to kill enough of our brain cells and we'll - what - name you as our "spiritual guide" or something?  Why don't you go preach at some forum where the folks might actually agree with you?
