Once in a great while I stumble across someone's NDE testimony that I find to be uniquely outstanding and awesome. Christian Andréason (pronounced On-dray-son) and his NDE testimony is the latest one! For reasons that you will discover for yourself, I consider his experience as the most inspirational I've ever read. His testimony is filled with new insights - new "pieces" - to fit into my own NDE cosmology puzzle.

It was on June 2nd of 1995, that Christian Andréason (www.allaboutchristian.com) had his NDE. Because of an unanticipated drug interaction and overdose, Christian's blood pressure was caused to plummet while undergoing routine dental surgery. Once out of his body, Christian took a rare, highly transcendental and extensive tour of "The Divine Realm" where he entered into the light of God. The experience not only changed the entire course of Christian's life, but also the direction of his music career. He immediately became more focused on all things spiritual; serving friends, loved ones and even those some might consider strangers in anyway possible.

Best known for being an award-winning - critically acclaimed recording artist, Christian Andréason is a singer, songwriter and producer of inspirational music for his independent record label, Wonderboy Records. Since 1987 he has professionally recorded hundreds of songs and produced a total of 9 albums. Praised by celebrities, major press and even former United States Presidents, Christian's music and messages of love have so far reached millions of ears Internationally via Internet, television, stage and radio. Currently Christian is working on his next album with Grammy Award winning music producer, Joe Hogue. (LeAnne Rhimes, Donna Summer, Michael W. Smith, Ce Ce Winans and Roy Orbison).

Interestingly enough, Christian is the writer/singer of the theme song entitled, "All The Time" used by fellow NDEer and long-time # 1 N.Y. Times Best Selling Author, Betty J. Eadie for her 2002 award winning television program, "Embraced by the Light" ... which featured Betty's famous book of the same name. Betty J. Eadie was the first to discover and publish some of Christian's NDE writing in several pages of the 1999 inspirational book, "The Ripple Effect." The two are great friends, as Betty has been a great source of inspiration to Christian for many years.

Besides writing about spiritual issues and recording future music, Christian now devotes several days every week toward a thriving spiritual therapy/one-on-one ministry practice based in Houston, Texas. Using his God given intuitive gifts and clairvoyant abilities he has since helped a multitude - including many well known in entertainment media, politics, ministry and in the new-thought movement.

The following is an edited version of questions and answers taken from Christian's forthcoming book. While it is reprinted on my website for inspirational reading, I ask that you request permission directly from Christian before professionally copying or reprinting any part of this material. Thank you very much.

On June 2nd, 1995 I had what is commonly called, "a near-death/out-of-body experience." This event occurred because of a reaction to medications I was taking while having dental surgery performed. Two weeks prior to going in for the dental surgery, I had injured myself while lifting a big screen TV up a long flight of stairs in the rain. Once at the top, I slipped and lost my footing. While I did manage to catch the TV, I pulled out several major muscles in my lower back. Because the medications I was on were not powerful enough to ease the pain, I remained bedridden for over a week. I was later given an even stronger painkiller so that I might get up and move around. On the day of my dental surgery, now weary of the thought of any additional pain and discomfort, I purposefully took a rather large dose of the pain killer before my dental appointment thinking that would save me from feeling anything. Because I was very nervous that particular day, I had a lapse in my memory, and forgetting that I had already taken some pills ... I took another handful! By the time I got to the dentist's office, I was feeling a bit woozy ... But because I had forgotten I had taken that extra handful of pills, I really didn't think I was in any danger. Actually, I felt pretty good. But then the inevitable happened:

The large dose of pain killers ended up conflicting with the anesthesia given to me in the dentist's office and the result was that my blood pressure fell to low and I was literally knocked unconscious and right out of my body. During a brief amount of time, my spirit traveled through what I know and now call, "the Heavenly Realm." During the experience, all time stopped ... and two minutes of Earth time turned into what seemed to be days, weeks and even months. I saw an uncountable amount of wonderful places that were not of this world and many spiritual truths were Lovingly and generously revealed to me with mind-bending answers. Almost the whole time I was guided mostly by a being that appeared in the form of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Following us were three other guides who all appeared as men. All were robed with a beautiful glistening white, diamond-like material. I could also distinguish that they had Light coming from underneath their garments. I knew that this Light was their true bodies. The moment they came into my awareness, I recognized these beings as having been some of my closest friends that have been with me for all time. They were very kind to me and very caring about my feelings. There are no secrets in Heaven, so information that might have been considered embarrassing was treated with tremendous sensitivity. And even in moments where I might have cried knowing that someone knew my deepest darkest secrets, wonderful warm laughter was often exchanged between us instead. No matter any unpleasantness they may have known about me, I knew that I was eternally and unconditionally Loved! For many years, after my experience, I have continued to stay in contact with these dear ones through dreams and meditations. During my experience it was revealed to me that they had made many appearances to me during my life, particularly during difficult times in my childhood and adolescence, only I was not consciously aware of them or their presence at the time.

When you passed over, did you see God immediately?

At first, I did not see God immediately. However, I did FEEL the presence of God everywhere! When I found myself in the Realm, initially I spoke with my very Loving guides, absorbed amazing information and took in the bigness of everything that was shown to me in God's Heaven. Then, toward the end of my experience, I stood in the wonderful presence of a great Being of brightness and knew with my whole heart that I was in the midst of my Creator, who is a being of unconditional Love and infinite Light. Many of you will not yet remember, but you too have stood in the very presence of God! I saw that before each of us are sent forth into our various missions, we are brought into a vast Cathedral of Light known as, "the Throne Room of God." In this room resides the very essence of all Creation, the Being those of us who are Jewish or Christian know and call Father God. This Being is the author of all that exists and he is tremendously pleased with all that has come forth from his Light. Because our Souls are covered by what is known as a "veil of forgetfulness," we are made to seek God out in ways that hopefully has us seeking him in each other. Each of us carries the Light of the Creator within us and it is through this experience we call "life in a flesh" that helps us to better understand the Creator and develop the inner Light he placed within us by practicing Love. A time will come soon enough where we will be back in the Loving arms of God and it will be a very Joyous time for us all. But first we must work at accomplishing the thing he sent us here to learn ... LOVE!

When I arrived in Heaven (in my experience) I found myself in a huge room where the walls and ceilings were made of pure crystal and they had Light coming from the inside of them. The effect was amazing. Then as I looked up, I saw four translucent screens appear (and form a kind of gigantic box around me). It was through this method that I was shown my life review. (Or rather I should say my LIVES IN REVIEW!) Without ever having to turn my head, I saw my past, my present, my future and there was even a screen that displayed a tremendous amount of scientific data, numbers and universal codes. I saw the beginning of my known existence as a Soul and saw that I had existed Spiritually long before this incarnation -- where I am now a male human known as Christian Andréason! In Heaven, I undeniably saw that I had lived an innumerable amount of lives. Yet, what I saw went way beyond our comprehension of what we think reincarnation is. So, I am not exactly speaking of being born again and again on this planet alone. I saw that it is a big Universe out there and God has it all organized perfectly. Each of us is sent where we can obtain the best growth according to our Divine purpose.

Before the review ended, I was shown something that blows my mind every time I think about it. I observed myself go before what I understood to be as the Throne of Heaven. This is a great domed hall in the center of a golden city and is where the highest presence of God exists. What I saw was nothing short of spectacular!

In short, what did you see?

As I entered the room, I was washed with a brilliant white, golden and rose colored Light which filled me with indescribable happiness. I knew this Light had created me, as it had everything else. The Light was God ... both Father and Mother Creator mixed together in a colorful body of Light I have since learned to call, Christ.

As I looked up, the Light went on and on without end. I was lifted high up into the Great Light, and as this happened, I felt fully embraced by my Creator. I knew without a doubt that this omnipresent being found great delight in me and I clearly heard thoughts that I was considered a perfect being of the Creator's Creation.

What were you told?

I was told many things. But one thing has always stuck out in my mind: each of us have pre-planned moments where what I call, "clue events" will occur. These moments always trigger a memory that Heaven planted deep in the subconscious mind before we came here ... and once set off, the memory makes its way up to the more conscious part of our brain and enters our main stream of thought. This event then evokes a future thought or feeling in us, which sooner or later produces an action that gets us walking in the direction toward our destiny. If you understand the concept of "déja vu" you know what I am talking about. In Heaven, I saw over and over again, things that we see almost on a daily basis, which might even seem mundane ... could actually be clues for us to pick up on to get us going in the right direction! I understood that before we came to Earth, many of these clues were shown and explained to us and in our spirit we hold a deep knowing of what any particular clue really means for us. I saw that the conscious mind does not need to recognize a clue, (although Spiritually sensitive people will eventually begin to discern them), it is the eternal "subconscious" part of the mind that does all the spiritual work for us. A clue can come in the form of us looking at a clock at just the right moment and seeing a set of numbers that mean something to us ... it can be hearing someone say a familiar phrase or "trigger word" at a very interesting period of your life ... or it can be something as simple as seeing a single item sitting somewhere odd that intrigues you to wonder ... "Why is that thing there?"

I was then shown the time we call the beginning of Creation. There was a huge explosion, coming from a singing, pulsing, Joy-filled ball of bright Golden Light. I knew that I had been a part of this great Light, as have the rest of us. From this Light exploding, I found myself happily and quite excitedly hurling through space and time. I arrived safely in a perfect place of peace and amazing splendor. I knew immediately that this place was geared toward the expansion and education of every Soul that came there. I call this place, "the Realm." In this place, we are assisted by many wise beings and helped to complete many years of training and Soulish expansion.

Where is the Heavenly Realm?

In all honesty, the Realm is all around us, and not just above ... but directly in front of us. It is hard to see, but it is there. Heaven exists in another dimension that can only be entered by the way of Spirit. There are many different Heavens and Realms of Heaven. They are stacked one atop the other like pancakes and scattered all throughout God's super Universe. Each sits at a level that can accommodate those who walk within it. At the highest level is the Master Creator, God, and at the lower levels are the various forms and presence(s) of God. Everything is regulated by vibration, current and frequency ... the higher our spirit's level of vibration and frequency, the higher our Spirits are able to go throughout the Divine Realm. God, the Creator, vibrates at an absolute level that is so fast that he is perfectly still. His frequency is incomprehensible and is ever-expanding upward in pitch.

What does Heaven look like?

Glorious. There are many levels and dimensions in the Realm. There are great cities very similar to the ones we live in now, only these places have great harmony and balance to them. I saw whole cities made of gold and precious stones. One city that always stays in the back of my mind is a great metropolis made entirely out of what looked to be sapphires. It glows with the most luminous blue and white Light. It reminds me of a white Christmas tree with beautiful blue glass balls. I had a knowing that this place was where Loving Christ-like communicators choose to gather and exchange thoughts. There is a tremendous amount of Love and Grace in Heaven. No matter where you go, the feeling of Love and Joy is everywhere. There is no other place you would rather be.

Is there a special place where we stay in Heaven?

The point to incarnating in a physical body is so that once we are done, we can then explore the many worlds and places of wonder within the Realm. However, each of us is allowed a sacred space there, (where we can make a home for our Soul), if we desire to. (I will explain more about this below.)

How does Heaven change in appearance?

The higher up you go in Heaven, the more it becomes impossible to give a human description. I try to explain it by saying there are flashes of Light and brilliant colors of every spectrum everywhere. In fact the colors that are in Heaven are more brilliant than the ones we have here on Earth. There are healing tones that play incredible music, which all together form one single sacred song. There is such tremendous LOVE, PEACE and JOY there that you can think of no other place you would rather be. There is no way to really describe the high Heavens. It has to be experienced by the individual. And all individuals will have this experience when they are ready and it is time for them.

So Earth is not our home?

	Earth is home for the physical human body, which is temporary ... even the Earth is temporary. But Heaven is made of pure, radiant Light that lasts forever and ever. Heaven could certainly be said to be our real home, however; as we Spiritually mature we will continuously move up and up until we are once again reunited with the Creator of all Creation.

Who goes to Heaven?

In the end ... believe it or not (sigh of relief), everyone gets to come home! Heaven is a place of ultimate LOVE. When we have learned how to become individuals that base our entire existence and consciousness around manifesting LOVE, we then become capable of entering the domain of the higher Realms of Heaven. If we do not practice Love, we can only go so far and we will be made to incarnate somewhere out there in God's super Universe again and again (unlimited times) until we learn.

Lots of things! Individuals are laughing, relaxing and enjoying one another's company. Some are off working together in pairs (or larger), so that they might bring a new concept or idea, or accomplish a Divinely intended goal for the planet. Some are off to themselves reflecting in far away, peaceful places and learning how to work with and trust the power they hold within them. Others form close-knit groups and enjoy learning together as they are taught by various Loving, advanced teachers and guides of Spirit. The Realm is a real happening place I can tell you that! I always laugh when I think of society's image of Heaven as little cherubs sitting around playing harps on clouds. Ahhhh ... it's a whole lot more intense than that!

Who can see Heaven or the Divine Realm?

Anyone can see it.

Even in the body?

Yep. Even in the body. You will be amazed to find out that some of the things you "thought you saw" (but thought your mind was playing tricks on you) were actually things Heaven was helping you see on Earth. Again, the higher up you go in your capacity to hold Love and Light in your Soul, the greater the chance your spirit will reside long enough in your body to help your consciousness become open enough to help you see and understand the Realm.

How can I learn how to see it?

Every time you choose to participate in a LOVING THOUGHT, you are manifesting the feeling of HEAVEN ON EARTH. The reason most are so unsure about the place from which we all came is because we have not yet learned to LOVE ourselves or one another enough. Once we learn how to LOVE enough and keep this LOVE perpetual, we will build up a tremendous inner Light and this Light will be used to help us see glimpses into Heaven. Not only will you be able to see or sense spiritual things, you will also understand how to work through issues that trouble you in your life.

For many, seeing or sensing Spiritually can happen quite suddenly. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. ALLOW the peace, presence and Joy of Almighty God to wash over you like a warm, gentle, flowing stream of water. Concentrate on this feeling for as long as you are able. Just imagine to your best ability what the word "JOY" might mean to you. If you feel doubt or have "jumbled" emotions about this word, it could mean that you are holding guilt, shame or unforgiveness in your Soul. These things have no place in the Realm of God! Let them go now. Think only what it means to LOVE and be LOVED. Be patient.

What will I see when I seek to see Heaven?

Some report to having seen their silver cord, some see white flashes of Light, some see tunnels of dark blue or violet with a lovely blue pastel color toward the end. Some of you may even see moving figures, buildings, colorful flower gardens or even great celestial cities. Others report having amazing consciousness expanding thoughts come to them which help them to understand their lives, the world and the ultimate plan of God better.

Do we have a home in Heaven?

As a matter of fact, (as I said before) I saw that we do (should we want one) and this home can be as wonderful as we wish it to be! It can be a quaint cottage or it can even be a huge mansion. Real estate is not an issue in Heaven! If you can think it, it can be done. What many of us fail to realize is that each of us DOES have the ability to manifest any visualization into material form. In Heaven, because all things are made from the essence of pure LIGHT, this process is done much easier. In Heaven, we have the ability to sculpt density into the Light (using concentration) and this is how we create form throughout the Realm. We do this by lightly focusing (or pressing) with our intention. You would be amazed at how much you could accomplish here on Earth once you master the art of concentration.

What did your house look like in Heaven?

I saw that I had a house made entirely of rubies. These precious stones were affixed to the walls in the hundreds of thousands to millions. I saw that I have a very pleasant home in the Realm. It actually has a flowing stream that moves through the house and into a lovely, lush, floral garden in the back. I saw that the furniture was very similar to what we have here on Earth, only more round and simplistic and with much more cushion. Surprisingly, texture is something that can very much be felt in Heaven. In fact, all of our five senses are very much the same as on Earth, only in Heaven, they are far more developed. We have the ability to smell, see, hear, touch and get ready .... YES!!! EVEN TASTE!!!! Oh, yes children! THERE IS A GOD!

Yes. I remember God conveying to me that I would know times of great jubilation and that there would also be times that I would know sorrow as I pursued my ordained purpose. But I was told that I would be blessed for every time I succeeded in the name of Love. I was told that every experience was extremely necessary according to a greater plan that would unfold plans and plans never-ending. I was told not to ever worry about my competency, capacity or ability, for it was promised to me that the Light would never leave me to endure anything I was not created to handle. I was told that there would be times I would doubt myself and my mission, but in the end, I would learn great wisdom and eventually see myself as victorious.

I was shown an innumerable amount of scenes, all containing possible realities I would eventually experience. I was shown many Universes and worlds that had organizational life on them. I saw that everyone in every Universe is simultaneously working together to fulfill God's great Divine plan. I understood that God sees and knows absolutely everything that happens everywhere. I saw that while God does a great deal of planning, our Creator never interferes with our volition, nor does he ever seek to alter the way we feel about things. God knows he need not interfere because he knows that the law of cause and effect is always perfect. This method will always bring justice and teaching wherever it is needed most.

I was amazed to see how each of us is connected eternally, that we have always existed, and that we will never die.

I saw that we were indeed made in the image of God, which is an essence taken from the Creator's own LIGHT. It is because of this Light that we can never die. Every single child of God carries this Light within their Soul, and we call this Light, Spirit. As we learn how to LOVE, we build the Light of Spirit within. A day will come (in a time not so far away) when all of our Light(s) will have become so large that we will merge and go back to the Creator and be as ONE -- just as we were in the beginning. Once we are ONE again, there will be a great celebration. And after a certain amount of time has passed, yet again, there will be another great explosion, only this time it will be much bigger and the process of Creation will be far more advanced.

I felt tremendous Joy and honor in having been shown these things and with great confidence, I promised my God that I would do my very best. God told me my best would certainly be enough!

Why is it so important to understand Love and use it in everyday life?

The reason why we must learn Love on Earth can be given a scientific explanation. God is Love and absolute vibration. The act of Christ-like Love elevates inner vibration. As we learn how to Love and practice Christ-like Love with one another, the inner vibration within the Soul creates supernatural inner Light. This Light helps us to enter various dimensions that lead the way to the Heavens once we are in spirit form. Contrary to what many of us were taught in our various religions, "Heaven" is not a reward for good behavior, it is a "higher plane of existence" that awaits those who ready themselves to enter. The only way to enter through the door ... is to hold the key of Love.

How can I learn more about the ways of Love?

	Jesus Christ came to the planet to be a way-shower for all people and all religions. He lived his life with great passion and dedication to this word LOVE, so that each of us might have a role model to compare ourselves to. This is why he said, "I AM the way, I AM the truth, and I AM the life. No man can come to God but through me. If you replace I AM and ME with LOVE IS ... you get ...
	LOVE is the WAY LOVE is the TRUTH LOVE is the LIFE. No one comes unto GOD unless they know how to LOVE

Christ had become LOVE WALKING AND TALKING ON THE PLANET. One cannot understand God until one understands and WALKS AND TALKS in the ways of LOVE. If you walk in Love, you will always understand God.

How does one know whether or not he or she is walking in the ways of LOVE?

Yes, Angels were everywhere, however; though Angels are very important to my mission, they were not always the focal point of my experience. Of course, the ones with wings were always somewhere in the background, watching and Lovingly serving in any way they possibly could. One of my greatest memories was when I found myself standing in the highest Heaven, in the area I know to be the Throne Room. As I looked up, I saw the most awesome celestial event of dark purple and blue. I also saw thousands of Angels with many eyes and wings shining through and looking down on me. These beings were interconnected and formed a gigantic circle and I knew that they were of great importance to God. I saw these beings as the keepers and guardians of all knowledge. These beings were gigantic and I had a knowing that they could instantly evaporate anything (that has been formed from fear and darkness) with a single thought. But as they looked upon me, I felt such tenderness, compassion, safety and LOVE. Their greatest concern was always for my happiness and that I be pleased with what I was being told and shown.

How many Angels do each of us have?

As many as we need. Some need one, but I understand that most have two or even three. These Angels mostly come in the form of guides. However, winged guardian Angels are never far away and always have a watchful eye on us to make sure nothing prevents us from accomplishing our Divine purpose.

Who are our guides and what are their roles in our lives?

Our guides are what I call our wingless Angels. They are our most cherished friends and supporters in Heaven. They never leave our side ... Never for a single second. In fact, what many do not know is that somewhere right here on Earth, in our families or somewhere in a line of dear personal friends, there is always one who acts as a Heavenly go between for us and the Realm. Hence the verse, "Angels walk among you unaware!"

I think it is very important to start off by saying that I fully saw and understood that we are ALL the children of God. Each and every one of us plays a vital role on this planet. No one is seen as insignificant or is unloved. I understood that to be called a son or daughter of God, means that you have matured fully in all the ways of LOVE. Jesus IS the great leader for all the Sons and Daughters of God, especially those who follow the Christian faith. It was made very clear to me that Jesus does not want anyone bowing down to him and being subservient. In fact, what Christ truly wants us to feel is that we are worthy to walk right beside him. Only through our agreement to walk beside Christ can there be any real progress made in our lives and in the world.

Why would you recommend that someone get to know Christ?

For many years, I had no clue who this man Jesus Christ was. Oh, I was raised up to be a Christian alright ... but I never really understood who Christ really was until after my experience. I found too many in Christianity come off as haughty and oppressive ... and because of this ... I wanted to distance myself as far away from the faith as I could! But in the process, I also distanced my self from Jesus, The teacher of Love and that was unfortunate! It was not Jesus' fault that so many who 'said' they subscribed to the Lord of Love's ways ... came off acting like they had a board up their backside! Perhaps if I had had better examples of Christ-Love as a child, I would have understood the Lord when I was first taught to believe in him, but that was not in the cards for me.

So now, I never EVER judge anyone if they are unsure about what they feel when it comes to God, Christ or the Bible. I have found ... you cannot rely on humankind or a single book to reveal God to you ... you have to seek these things out with all your whole heart and let the Holy Spirit be your guide. In time because of suffering ... I wanted to see the truth ... and the Holy Spirit showed me: Christ is the light of God that we each hold within us and will awaken to when we choose to embody a Loving lifestyle. The more we do such a thing (and put faith based Love into practice) ... the better our lives will become and the more we reveal this inner Light to ourselves and others.

A great number of people on the planet may think they know Christ, but it is clear that they do not. They have not yet passed the Love test. You can always tell who has Christ and who does not ... simply by watching how a person consistently treats people. Sure, some people might have a bad day or two and totally blow their cool, but I am talking about a person who in their heart has a sense of urgency to want to Love on and Joyously Serve others, and not just the ones who look or behave attractively ... but all people. A person filled with the Christ Light will always see that every Soul on this planet is a precious child of our Creator and will always do hers or his best to Love on them with all their might! YOU WILL ALWAYS HEAR ME SAY THIS OVER AND OVER ... LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO! I cannot say it enough, because this is the path to understanding God and Christ in Heaven. The more you use it and put it into practice ... the more you will evoke the Spirit of the living God in you and see this for yourself. I would Love it if you understood God and Christ better ... so that you would once and for all see that Love is an awesome energy ... it's a tool that makes you more powerful than you could ever imagine! Another vital thing to understand about Love ... is that it also shows you that you and all others are worthy to call out to God or Christ and receive help at anytime. Not only will the Light of God come, but Angels will come running too. We may not see the manifestation of this all at once, but God is always there ... especially when we call!

Another reason I really want some of you to consider Christ, is if by some chance you feel like you get lost ... especially at the time of your physical death. You can call on Christ and he will come for you!

What about the fact that Christian religion says we are to worship God and/or Christ?

Too many do not understand the difference between "worship" and spending time in the presence of God Almighty ... If you want to bask in absolute appreciation for our Creator's Love and Goodness, then that is wonderful! Doing this will only empower you to see that you are a very precious child in God's Creation. The Joy of the Lord is our Strength! I always encourage those I work with Spiritually (all of my one-on-ones) to seek out and spend time every day in the presence of God. Nothing can be better! But some believe that unless they are face down on the floor or performing some repellant activity or major form of sacrifice, that they are not properly worshiping or "earning" God's Love. I saw very clearly in Heaven that God expects nothing of the sort from us ...and that we need not seek to earn anything from God, because everything has already been given! HOWEVER ... WE ARE HERE TO HAVE ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD and OPEN OURSELVES TO RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE, SO THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GIVE LOVE TO OTHERS! In fact, if you really want to know what true worship looks like, it is how you treat others, when you are kind and gracious with them.

Modern day religion has no real concept of just how humble God and Christ are. If they did, they would never utter one single unloving word to any child of God! As for me, I have personally chosen to see Jesus, the Christ, as the true example of what a Holy Child of God should be like. I also personally believe that he is perhaps the greatest man that has yet to walk the planet. I know in my heart of hearts that each and every one of us aspires to become the same. After my experience, I found the scripture in the Bible where Christ said, "Great things I have done, but greater you will do!" He said this because he wants us to join him in relationship to God. I have nothing but total respect and LOVE for this man, Jesus. While I never saw his human "face" during my experience -- later on it came to my realization that I had seen Christ, only, I experienced him in a way that I wasn't looking for.

While God always Loves us and never turns away from us, when the time comes for us to crossover ... some may decide not to go into the Light and remain earthbound for a time. This is a very difficult kind experience and there are a great number of Souls who exist in this station right now. In fact, much of my one-on-one practice is helping those who have the energy of earthbound Spirits hitchhiking in their spiritual atmosphere. When I observe that an angry energy is attached to someone, I see that these beings are lost ...and most have not yet found God or Love during their physical lives ... so now they feel confused, bewildered, caught or trapped. And (in a moment of struggle) they feel as if they have no other choice but to siphon off the Light(s) of others ... who are still alive and in a physical body.

Why does God allow a Soul energy to sit on the energy of someone else?

In my NDE I saw that God had built the Soul to be a kind of net that retrieves or catches energy within it. Doing so not only causes the netting Soul to grow spiritual muscle (by being consistently weighted down by the energy in his or her net) ... but it also gives transport to a lost being ... also giving the lost one an opportunity to observe us during moments where we practice Love and/or remember our inner Divinity. When a Soul is lost in the nether regions (between this dimension and the Realm) or in what the Bible calls, "the death shadowed valley," it is because they do not remember who they are in Christ ... and have forgotten Love.

Therefore, God gives lost Souls an opportunity to grow by allowing them to closely monitor us.

What happens to a person whose Light is being siphoned?

The event of being "siphoned" into can cause some very difficult issues to happen for an individual being tapped into ... especially if the person has attracted to them too many unloving energies. Remember: we attract to us energetically what we are (as an energy) ourselves. Over time ... if our behaviors are risky and unloving ... this kind of thing can cause us to feel very "weighted down!" Some people start to have overt feelings that appear very foreign to their Soul or addictive behaviors (minor and serious) may begin to crop up and gradually take over. They may have energy problems or feel constantly depressed, angry, ill, jealous, resentful, lazy or fatigued. People all the time will tell me, "I keep finding myself doing or saying or feeling things I don't want to do, say or feel!" Paul in the Bible used to say this very thing himself ... and then openly speak about something he called his, "thorn in the flesh" which God would never remove from him. We all have these "thorns" and it is in God's plan that we learn how to deal with them, by learning how to properly deal with the emotions we feel within ourselves. This is one of the many methods God will use to drive a Soul into development.

When people come to me about issues that "seemed to suddenly come up during a certain difficult period in their lives ... which do not easily go away" ... this can be an indication that a person is in a process of what I call, "holding" too much spiritual energy on their Light-body that does not really belong to them. And sure enough, when I clairvoyantly look at a person who has come to see me, I will clearly see the presence of many energies who have all not yet crossed over. All of them will be firmly latched to the person, for the same purpose or reason as one would be holding onto a life raft in the middle of the ocean. Actually, (believe it or not) this kind of thing is quite normal, as each of us attracts energies of like kind toward us at every hour of every day from other dimensions. However, I find with energies who are causing problems, we can drawn the presences of these energies too near to our core Self and this can greatly affect how we think and see ourselves. Think of having multiple personality disorder and you will somewhat grasp what I am saying. I have noticed when it comes to these energetic beings, many of them do not feel comfortable with God's Love or Christ ... and they are unsure as to whether or not they have the right to call out and claim their Divine birthright of receiving salvation. When I see this ... I know that there is a strong likelihood that the person in front of me ... "holding" ... might have similar issues as well, as I always keep in mind the laws of attraction draw to us what we are. So in my one-on-ones, I do what I call "Soul retrieval/Love revival work" and I work with an individual to get them to create as much Christ centered Love in their lives as possible, so they can eventually cause an explosion of inner Light that not only puts proper distance between them and the visitor(s), but a proper barrier for what we would think of as evil as well.

Long story now made short ... I do not recommend that you follow the path of some of these Souls who become earthbound. When your time comes ... and the Light, the tunnel, Christ or your departed Loved ones come for you to take you home ... go with them and go to Heaven! That is where you really belong! Just know that when you Love God or Christ ... you will just naturally sense of feel where you need to go in Heaven and arrive in that place automatically.

God is an essence of absolute Love, Light and beautiful sound. What I understood (in Christian practice) to be the WORD of God, is actually the SOUND or MUSIC of God.

God is a great LIGHT-filled Being who sings all tones simultaneously and uses this method to bring all things into existence ... He causes each Creation to resonate with one another in perfect harmony, once that Creation has aligned itself with the ways of Love. God uses his SOUND to create all things and give them life. He then extends his Light and helps that Creation to take form. All of us hold Light and Tones within ... We are here to learn how to better use them by living life in a difficult environment for the spirit and Soul ... the physical body.

How long is the Light of God with us? Is there anything we can do to make it go away?

Once God extends his Light, that Light will remain with that Creation for all eternity. There is nothing that can remove it. Each and every one of us is surrounded by a great beacon of Light. This is our eternal cord that connects us to our Creator. When most speak of seeing a tunnel (in NDE experiences) what they are referring to is the cord that ever connects us to God and the Light of Heaven shining through it from up above.

How is it that you were shown these things?

I am not quite sure of what ALL the reasons might be; I do know I was destined to be some kind of teacher on this planet and I think that is obvious ... but one thing is sure ... I am so glad my NDE happened cause God knows I really, really needed it! All I can say is ... I have been very blessed and very assisted to get to this level of understanding. I have worked very hard to be a Loving person all my life and I have endured my fair share of heartache. Much of my childhood was filled with abuse, neglect and harsh experiences and at times my adulthood has been far from being a piece of cake too. But I do not lament over this, because I know that these difficulties caused me to grow in spiritual strength. Yet, there is another thing I think about that might have caused the NDE ... perhaps I got too lost inside my shattered perceptions (during moments of pain) and started going in the opposite direction of what God's true plan for my life was?

One thing I know about God, is he always comes to get us if we get too lost in our lives. My experience put me back on the path and I work daily to stay on it, but even still, I still fall off from time to time. Now having said all this, it is important to know that every single person can know and see all I have. They just have to get themselves to a place of Love so they can.

So you are saying that I can I hear from God? If so, how?

Yes! I am saying that ANYONE can hear from God! One does not need to be Moses or Jesus or Buddha to hear from their Creator. To hear from God, all one has to do is THINK as the CREATOR thinks. Well, I happen to know that God thinks only ONE central thought, so this should be easy for you! GOD THINKS ABOUT NOTHING BUT LOVE -- ALL THE TIME!

If you are living your life according to the ways of LOVE. (Which are the constructive ways that you know deep down in your spirit that are right for you), then you can confidently know that you have the ability to hear from God. If you are actively seeking to spend time in the presence of God ... then you can bet Spirit is going to provide opportunities for you to do that! You will always know when the presence of God is with you ... you will feel like a grateful and excited little child again.

Actually all of us hear from God everyday, only we are not aware of it. Because we can get so caught up with the illusions and ego distractions of this world, we can lose focus easily. It is like being immersed in an action-packed movie or book while someone is speaking, only you find yourself looking up and saying, "huh?" once you realize they have been speaking to you for some time.

How do I know if I am hearing from God?

Anything that is not of LOVE is not of God! PERIOD! If thoughts of judgment, condemnation, bitterness, unforgiveness, ego centered anger or hate based retaliation come into your mind and dominate it, please know, this is not God. This is your ego speaking, which is ruled by fear. God fears nothing, therefore; God can speak no thing that is reminiscent of fear. God only speaks using a language of Love.

If this world was to ever find out just a small amount of what sexually diverse (gay) people are here to do on this planet, there would never be one single wisecrack or hurtful remark made ever again. Instead there would be great respect! People who speak disrespectful things about people of this orientation ... enact judgment, and do so from a place of unenlightenment, insecurity, ego and socially induced prejudice. Some may use mistranslated scriptures taught to them, not by the Holy Spirit ... but by fear-filled human beings. Many will choose to sustain a Divinely unsupported satanic hate-based rage against these children of God, rather than using Love to bring understanding and healing between both peoples. Christ said, THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IS THAT WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER! When people sling condemnation, judgment and bitterness at others, they are not practicing the great commandment. They are allowing their Souls to fall into darkness.

What were you told or shown about this issue?

When I got to Heaven, one of the first things I asked was about the very issue of bisexuality, as it had caused me a great deal of concern my whole life. My lady guide walked me to a room that had a large screen in it. On the screen, I saw two forms of Light conjoining with one another in the act of making Love. My guide then asked me to tell her which was the male and which was the female? I said, "I dunno!" She smiled at me and said it does not matter. She went on to say that the two Lights were what God saw when he looked upon us. She explained that God always sees us as our higher selves and that gender is a very temporary thing that will not be around forever. It was further explained to me that God himself is both a Mother essence and a Father essence to us, therefore; God fully understands our attractions for members of similar genders. It was told to me (or rather I was reminded) that there are no mistakes in the way each of us were made. God knew what each of us would be challenged and blessed with. We each act according to our heart (or developed Soul center) and as we mature Spiritually, we come up higher each time.

One other thing I was shown was a couple engaging in activities that focused on Lust rather than Love. My lady guide said that these individuals were in great spiritual duress and bringing upon themselves a life that would present much challenge. I saw that their Soul Lights began to dim significantly and there was a dark haze all about them. My lady guide then told me a time would come when these individuals would need to learn to come to God with their sexual selves, so that he could help them to use their sexuality in a more Loving way. More than likely, emotional or mental illness would emerge and help guide them to a more Loving path of expression. As I looked upon the figures, I sadly commented that lust was a major factor that involved many gay people. The lady smiled at me and explained that all fall into lust before we fully embrace the Light within ourselves. Later the lady also revealed to me that the two dimly beings in spiritual duress ... had been a married heterosexual couple.

What was the dark haze?

The dark haze was what I call gray or shadow energy. This is a challenging type of essence that coexists with us on the planet. I believe this is what the Bible refers to as demons. These entities' job unto Creation is to help bring us additional weight and life obstacles which match our non-positive or unloving thoughts. With the weight of their essence on us, our inner Light is blocked. After a period of time where we go stumbling around in the darkness of our lives, we are once again encouraged to return to more Loving thought and action. As soon as we produce enough Light in our Soul from having been Loving, the gray or shadow energy is then popped off of us. WHERE THERE IS LIGHT, DARKNESS CANNOT REMAIN! However, we must maintain Loving action and thinking because if we return to a less positive way of being, these entities return bringing reinforcements with them. When this happens it is time to do spiritual warfare!

My answer might surprise you. Spiritual warfare is a practice of celebration. Why? Because celebration is the very opposite to depression which is what dark energies want us to fall into so they can tighten their grip on us.

Dark energies do not want us to celebrate and rejoice in the fact that beyond any truth … God is Love and God's Love has already won and achieved victory over any challenge that might come against us. It is up to us to open ourselves up and receive God's Love … All we must do is simply … believe!

The dark forces of challenging energy come to steal our Joy! The reason for this is because misery Loves company! Ever notice that?

People who are in the habit of being down adore it when others come and join them in their destructive pity party. Well, these "sad parties" are for the most part attended by darkened energies. Because dark energy is joyless, it wants us to become the same! However, never forget … the Joy of the Lord is our Strength!

When you feel as if you are being overcome by shadow … it is time for you to announce “NO MORE!” and celebrate your life! I highly recommend that during times when you feel something evil is trying to sneak up on you from the back door, swing open the front door and let the Light of God's Love come in your life in every way you can think of or Holy Spirit shows you. Throw out all behaviors you know to be destructive and unpositive. Allow no negative conversation to come from your mouth! Only affirm the positive!

Hint:  Turn off the TV... and put on the CD player! Use music to heal your life! Keep in mind that when we go back home to Heaven, music is what God uses to restore our Souls! Powerful and stirring music is everywhere! If we are wise, we will play good Love affirming music in our environments often! I use everything from Gospel to Enya. Play that wonderful music in your homes, cars and work spaces everyday. Think of it as a can of Lysol that not only helps to disinfect your space from dark energy, it spreads colorful rainbow Light for you to walk into.

Sometimes I feel so ashamed because of my weaknesses!

Never allow shame to come down on you because you have fallen into challenge. Every person on this planet has to endure this process and every person has been made stronger because of it. The occurrence of challenge is a part of God's perfect plan. Most think that they have to make themselves perfect before God will have anything to do with them. This is not so. It is our challenges in life that help us to find him! Once we get past our challenges, we understand the great unconditional Love he has for us and he uses our experiences to help dislodge others who are stuck in the same places we have been.

What happens to me Spiritually once I am able to have victory over a challenge?

Each time we are able to build our Light back up, we then add solid muscle to our Souls. I am speaking of spiritual muscle (made of dense Light) which will help us to lift up issues and challenges that might have been impossible to get through before. It is through this method that God prepares us to undertake our life's mission. This is why many people have difficult lives before they come into their glory. The challenges they faced will have strengthened them to the degree that once they arrive at their Divine destination, very little will be able to shake them.

Ego is that thing that helps us learn what LOVE is by showing us what it is not. All things on Earth must come to a place of balance. All things must have a parallel. This is how we are each caused to grow Spiritually. Just as a face (due to gravity) may wrinkle with time, so does a Soul become weighed down with ego. Ego is always LOVE'S opposite. Love raises vibration and ego lowers it. Ego is a mental essence that each of us is made to endure for as long as we walk the planet. Ego is that thing that tells us in our mind, "No you can't do that ... because you're not talented, thin, good-looking, wealthy, intelligent, young, strong, interesting or intuitive ENOUGH!" This is the voice of the Liar. The Liar is the voice of ego. Let me put it this way: wherever there is separation, condemnation, self-doubt, lack-mentality, bitterness, hostility or segregation ... you can best be sure ego is not far behind.

Why does ego do this?

Ego wants to keep you earthbound and Heavenless for as long as it can. It is an essence that has been sent here to learn just as you have. However, it has a duty to challenge each of us and cause us to learn as it learns for itself. There is nothing to fear about the ego. It is just a fragile, spoiled child that screams and rants until it gets what it wants. And like any child, if you ignore it during its temper flare long enough, sooner or later it will get the message that those kinds of methods are not productive and will not yield positive results.

What about the devil?

If you understand the ego, you will understand the concept of the devil. Satanic frequency is the LOW-RANGE frequency that surrounds us in our collective thinking. It is the opposite of the HIGH, INCOMPREHENSIBLE LOVING frequency of God. Please hear me out on something...be careful of the music you listen to, the movies or TV you watch, the gossip or negative speaking you participate in. All these things LOWER the Soul's vibration. Lower vibration brings depression, disillusionment, disease and despair. The lower our Soul's vibration falls, the more these dark things come upon us. Once you fall into LOWER vibration, immediately seek to amend it with LOVING, HIGHER VIBRATIONAL THOUGHT. It is like anything else, the more you put into something, that is what the end result will be.

There is a place called "the Death Shadowed Valley," where some Souls may choose to go to if they feel too afraid, guilty or shameful to approach Heaven or God. This is an in-between place or dimension that separates Souls from this world and the next. ...And as I have discussed before ... being caught in this type of situation is a very difficult process to endure and can cause problems for both the living and the dead. However each of us has the ability to call out to God or to Christ ... and immediately ... we will be taken home to Heaven. Or we (the living) can pray and call out to God to send his Angels to come and take others home. It is important for us to understand that we each send ourselves to the places our Soul believes it most belongs. We do that now here on planet Earth. Those stuck in addiction, lust, bitterness and hate -- these are the ones truly in hell. But the moment we choose Love, we can get ourselves out. God never sends us anywhere we do not wish to stay. We have totally misunderstood the concept of hell on this planet.

What about a place of burning fire?

I do know of a place in the deep regions of the Realm where I saw great caverns of electrical blue fire. However, I understood that this place was for the purpose of Loving purification. God would never send his precious creatures to a place to be burned or harmed. It is completely contrary to our Creator's nature.

Life is full of hellish experiences and God would prefer we keep ourselves from as many of these things as possible, so that we do not overly darken our Souls ... which in time will only keep us from remembering who we really are.

What are some things I should watch out for?

Never allow hatred to exist within you! Do all you can to remove it from your life. Hatred is the greatest toxin known to humankind. Never allow yourself to remain angry. Anger brings disease and challenging energy. Do all you can to avoid excess. Excessive food, drink, lust, intoxicants, ambitious planning, competition, and (of course) grief, bitterness, resentment and judgment. The gray energies can easily fool us into becoming unbalanced if we over indulge in any one person, place, thought or thing. Be sure to get plenty of fresh air, exercise, rest and watch what poisons (unnatural substances) you put into your body. Drink plenty of water. Your spirit wants to help you wash toxins out of your body. Water was made for this purpose. Your body is the temple for the Spirit. The ego will do all it can to have you disrespect yourself so that you might ultimately lose your sense of importance and Divine worth. Beware of the ego at all times and look for it in all situations and people. Once you spot ego, ask God to help you assume spiritual control. Never be ashamed to ask for God's help. He is right there waiting to show you the way out of your dilemma. Seek to be respectful to all living creatures. Be generous whenever you can. Remember that Mother Earth has been a gracious host, let us do all we can to keep her a wonderful place for our children to live.

When I came back from my NDE, I made a promise to myself that I would only record and sing songs that had a positive and healing influence on the Soul. So far, I have kept that promise and I'm honored to hear from those who tell me they play my music in their homes, cars, at work and in their healing spaces every day or at least several times a week. It pleases me greatly to hear from these folks and then find out that the music is helping them to heal from trauma, break spells of depression ... or motivate and cause positive momentum in their lives!

Music filled with strong flowing melodic lines, lush tones and positive lyrics can cause us to become filled with Light thus enhancing our ability to give and receive Love. Because God is actually part MUSIC, good positive music can greatly help us maintain a sense of connection and union with our eternal Spirit.

After my NDE, I came back fully understanding the power music has over our lives; as God gifted me with an ability to be sensitive to tones held within the music. Now I have an advanced capacity to comprehend what tones are secretly communicating to the Soul. I use this ability when I write, arrange and produce mine (and other's) music. In fact, that is why I typically write the melody first and then put the words down later. For me, music is a message waiting for a translation. An artist is a person whom God has blessed with a tremendous emotional vocabulary to communicate to others (who are still developing their impressions about the world that surrounds them.)

In my NDE, I learned that dark tones and harshly/suggestively sung music (with negative lyrics) listened to over time, makes our mind and Soul progressively distressed and dysfunctional. Usually the artists doing these kinds of songs are typically distressed and dysfunctional themselves. It is because of this that I strongly advise people who are working on fixing their lives or staying on a Light filled path, to stay as far away from such music as much as possible! Unfortunately, much of the "popular music" in today's culture is littered with destructive lyrics and non-nurturing tones. Without being aware, the general public has been trained by the greed based media to actually become entertained by dysfunctional songs, and most people (especially youth) have no clue that much of the music (they are listening to) is actually injuring them emotionally! Some may have an inkling of this fact, but because of media hypnotism, socialized peer pressure, boredom or lack of quality music ... they listen anyway. And we wonder why we have so much violence, materialism, uncontrolled lust and other issues? From what I now understand spiritually, the TV and the radio has just about done modern day culture in! And if we don't start becoming more observant to the negative programming we are filling our minds with day after day, we are going to be caused to become numb to what is actually good for us and not be able to make effectual and lasting "positive" momentum in our lives! We have to train ourselves to pay close attention to how the music we are listening to makes us feel. Does it make us feel peaceful, joyous or dynamic? Or does it leave us feeling aggressive, resentful, bitter, lustful or arrogant? Be careful! Music is powerful stuff. It can either help heal you or hurt you. With all my Heart I advise you to listen wisely!

Please never forget ... You are so Loved! Never is there a time where you are unseen or forgotten! To know Love ... you must practice Loving! Remember, your challenges in life are here as gifts ... once you succeed in getting past them, you will be rewarded by being filled with Loving and healing Light. There is no greater feeling than this. When in doubt, remember -- Love is always the answer!

God bless you my precious brothers and sisters! Please know I am sending out Love and good energy to whomever will receive it!

Be Loving to one another and Love will be good to you.
