Death

[JosephineB]

The slightest flinch at the sight of*
that brilliant light can cause us to recoil.

What is your opinion on what happens then?

[JosephineB]

Fill yourself with divine love and you just may be protected here and now, and beyond.

.............May?

What happens beyond that light, in my opinion, is inconceivable. I don't know and really
can not speculate on. In my opinion it is beyond mental construction, beyond reasoning,
words or thoughts. That's my opinion.

P.S. Sorry, I mis-read you inquiry. The recoil may send a consciousness to reincarnate
according to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. That seems plausible to me.

Yes "may." Because no one can really tell another what is going to happen to them in their experience.
All I can say is that the experience of divine love has protected me, and it "may" protect others. I am
only speaking for myself and sharing "my" experience.

It was just the word recoil. Did you mean the process may not be as smooth if the acceptance isn't there.

Yes, I understand the protection of love. It made me think that when you used the word may, that you thought there was something that we needed to be protected against.

Recoils are not necessarily smooth. I have known lots of people who have had out-of-body, or near death experiences. Most of them told me about the "tunnel of light," with and even more brilliant light at the end. Those who shared this with me said a being made of light, some said Jesus, some said Krishna, some said their guru, some just saw a being radiating love and light who had no features. That being told them "it is not your time" and sent them back. A consciousness which recoils from the light sends itself back in my opinion.

In my opinion the only protection we need is from our own ego. It is said when a person dies the emotions they have nurtured take on form as entities; malevolent energies take on the form of demons and benevolent energies take on the form of angels. They both pull on our consciousness, just like they do now but only after physical death they manifest and are not contained within us. In my opinion this is just one of many perspectives.

That's not possible though is it, if that particular body is finished. Or do you mean back into the reincarnation process? Complete acceptance means not having to return to this plane?

Fear = punishment, nice.
