That is why it is impossible for God to hate anyone.
There's also another thing to consider here.
Little Rik Wrote:Humans acquire free will and with free will you may do mistakes.
We all do.
If all humans are manifestations of God, all mistakes are ultimately God's mistakes in the physical universe.
I find it an interesting exercise imagining that everything really is God because it puts a completely different perspective on things. For example, I've had measles, chickenpox, colds and flu during the course of my life. All the viruses which caused those illnesses were manifestations of God.
I just wish that God would stop manifesting as dust on the furniture.

Not because NDEs are not real but because they have to be related to individual experiences.
What is necessary for one can not be necessary for other.
Some people need a longer stay in this dimension so they can do more work.
Other people need a new body to continue their journey to the goal of life so there is no need
for them to go through an NDE teaching.
I think the content of NDEs is important here. They are life changing experiences for many people. According to Ananda Marga, a unit mind without a body is dormant so can't learn anything else until it acquires a new body. If this is true it's logical to assume that someone having an NDE is still in their body.
