Light Being

In the annals of humankind's experience with things unearthly, there is nothing so impacting, nothing which marks the soul with such profundity as that of the encounter with the Being of Light.

While not all testaments arise from Near Death Experiencers (NDE), the majority as given appears to. Typically, the chain of events runs something like this:

An individual in such medical distress that he may be pronounced dead by physicians or attendants, finds himself yet fully awake, and possessed of a heightened awareness as he overhears the consternation of those frantically trying to save him. He may be puzzled or else emotionally removed from the chaos which surrounds him, because to him, in the final truth of the matter, he is marvelously fine. He may attempt to tell his rescuers as much, but he is no longer quite of this earth and his reassurances fall on deaf ears.

At this point he begins to feel his 'essence' or the real him, lift up and away from his physical form (though there are those who report the sensation of being 'blasted' or 'shot' from out of their bodies). He may hover near the ceiling for a while, or above the heads of the crowd should his experience have taken place out of doors. But before long, the NDE next finds himself moving further and further away from the earthly location, until he arrives at a swirling 'tunnel' that opens before him, where all is dark, though most NDEs express no fear. (Sometimes this tunnel is described to have a 'bend' in it, and some NDEs mention feeling themselves 'separate' even further, as if they have somehow 'shed' another layer of their earthly selves)

Moving through this vortex at incredible speed, the individual spies a light in the distance, at the end of the tunnel, and as he moves closer and closer to this point, the light grows larger and brighter til at last he emerges in what can only be described as 'an unearthly light of such brilliance, though my eyes were unaffected and I was able to view it comfortably, and I knew I was no longer of Earth!'

In essence at this point, the transmuted soul finds himself in the presence of a Being of Light and, depending upon his belief structure, he may call this light God or Christ or anything else - in fact, he may not even attach a label at all and simply insist that it was a light being, pure and simple. And this Light Being is a real personage, a personal being who emanates such love and warmth to the NDE, that the individual is both humbled and awed, though completely at ease within the scope of this magnificent light. Many NDEs report a feeling of familiarity with the Light Being, as if they should somehow know who and what this is, but they cannot quite pin it down or remember.

Furthermore, the Light Being is said to be so gentle and kind, non-judgmental, and even exhibit a sense of humor as it suits the ensuing exchange between man and 'angel'. At this juncture, the individual may be told 'it is not his time' and he is to be returned to his earthly form; or he may be given the 'choice' whether to proceed onward into the Light, or else return to his body. Typically, the NDE is shown a panoramic life review, which engulfs him in a complete virtual experience of every thought, word and deed he committed, and he will also have the ability to experience his actions and the resultant effects on others. It is said that not a moment, not a single thought or deed of the individual's life is omitted from this review.

The Light Being, still from a loving objectivity, may pose such a question as "What have you done with your life that is sufficient?". The emphasis appears to be that of love, or actions and thoughts stemming from love, as opposed to success and gain. The purpose of the Light Being and the life review seems to be that of instilling greater insight into one's actions and how they effect others about us (including pets, strangers, and so forth), and what value may be derived thereof. Love, above all else, is the commodity most prized!

Who or what The Light Being actually is may be a matter of personal belief, upbringing, social acculturation, et al. From higher self to the Lord of Lords, all or none may be correct assumptions. But one thing is beyond debate, those that have been fortunate enough to encounter the Light Being and bring the awareness of such an experience back with them to their earthly existence, consider themselves better for it!
