The NDE and God |
Kevin Williams' Research Conclusions |
|
Near-death
experiencers who have actually seen the brilliant light and experienced the
ecstatic love, know without a doubt they have seen God. Once they enter into the
light of God, they never want to leave. But they are told it is not their time
to die, so they return having this experience of God seared into their very
hearts and minds. They carry this experience back with them to share with
others, but they sometimes find difficulty doing so. But their experience with
the light is just too important to keep to themselves. For example, one
particular experiencer was told that the time is now for humanity to know for
certain that there is life after death.
Air is to the physical world as God is to the spirit world.
God is life, light, time and space, the pattern for all life, the energy of all
matter, the heart of all that matters, the very essence of all being, the source
behind every sun, the source of all light and love, the core of all things, the
single point of infinite light and absolute love, and the very life force of the
universe.
God is the
Light That Loves
Within the light of God, we realize
that everyone and everything is connected to God. In the light is the cure for
all diseases, the knowledge within every universe. The light is wisdom and love
beyond all comprehension. (Dr. Dianne Morrissey)
The closer one gets to God, the closer
one comes to all the light, love and knowledge in the universe. (Jayne
Smith)
The joy of being in the light of God
can be so intense, we may think we are going to shatter. But God will not let us
shatter. We are not permitted to take in more of this bliss and joy than we are
able to handle at a time. (Jayne Smith)
"For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes
to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been
done in God."

The Gospel of John 3:20-21
God is Love
God is love in its purest form ... To be in his presence and share his love, we
must become as he is and learn to love without judgments or conditions. (Betty
Eadie)
God's standard is pure love. Our lives
will be compared to this standard in the light of God. Pure love is serving God
and others without any self-centered motives. Self-centered motives are what
makes our acts (as the scriptures say) "dirty rags" before God. (Daniel
Rosenblit)
God is Everything
The only reality is God and God is
love. God loves without limit. God is everything. (Linda
Stewart)
I remember a near-death experiencer
say that their experience of being one with God was like suddenly knowing
absolutely everything - like suddenly becoming aware of every grain of sand in
the universe and knowing why it was put there. (Kevin
Williams)
God is everything. (Dr. George Rodonaia)
God is Life
God is everywhere because nothing
exists that is not a part of God. God is neither a man nor a woman nor a thing.
Life itself is God. (Dr. PMH Atwater)
All creation is God exploring God's
very being through every way imaginable, through every one of us. (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
The Biblical name for God, "I AM,"
really has a question mark behind it. "I AM? WHAT AM I?" (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
God is Darkness
God is more than light. God is also
the darkness. (Dr. George Rodonaia)
God is Energy
The Master-Vibrational energy of God controls the universe
and seems to regulate everything except the ignorance within the minds of people
on Earth. (Arthur Yensen)
God is the creative energy of the
universe, expressing itself as us and everything else. Wherever we are, God is.
Like God, we are constantly expressing ourselves in some way. (Jan
Price)
The Nature of God
God has a vantage point we can never perceive. He sees into our eternal pasts
and futures and knows our eternal needs. In his great love he answers prayers
according to this eternal and omniscient perspective. He answers all prayers
perfectly. (Betty
Eadie)
The small inner voice in your thoughts
is the voice of God. (Sandra Rogers)
God wants us to become as he is, and has invested us with godlike qualities. I
understood that he wants us to draw on the powers of heaven, and that by
believing we are capable of doing so, we can. (Betty
Eadie)
The little voice inside us that
prompts us to do good things comes from God. It is the light of love inside each
of us. (Kerry Kirk)
God doesn't force anyone to heaven,
hell, or anywhere. We are free to choose and build our destiny. All paths lead
back to God. (Edgar Cayce)
God perfectly understands our lack of knowledge. He knows that most of us do not
remember our commitments to him. In his eyes we are like little children:
susceptible and even expected to make mistakes. (Betty
Eadie)
In the light of God, it is impossible
to lie to yourself, or to others or to God. There is no place for secrets to
hide. (Dr. George Ritchie)
God does not judge us when we die. In
the clear light and love of God, some may judge, condemn and punish only
themselves. There is no judgment except the judgment one levels at oneself. (Kevin
Williams)
God has promised not to intervene in
our lives unless we ask. (Betty Eadie)
It is God's love for us that sends us on our journey
and it is our love for God that allows us to return to God's loving arms again.
(David Goines)
God feels the pain we feel and inflict
on others. (Sandra Rogers)
One of the grandest mysteries of God is his foreknowledge. Truth is knowledge of
things as they were, as they are, and as they are to come. God, possessing all
truth, has the ability to know all things in advance. This being the case, we
can trust him to give us only that which will be good for us in completing our
life's mission successfully. (Betty
Eadie)
God's overriding desire is to purify
the darkness of our souls, irrespective of the suffering it puts us through to
achieve that end. If we learn to accept our situations in life, instead of
getting angry, then our suffering is greatly minimized. (Daniel
Rosenblit)
God never uses his love to hurt us. To do so would countermand his own law of
judgment. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." So he will never
let us down, will never forsake us. His love is extended to all, and he knows
exactly how to reach each person. (Betty
Eadie)
God Encompasses All
Religions
God does not care about theology. God
cares mostly about your heart. (Rev. Howard Storm)
It doesn't matter what you call God.
The different religions have different ways of explaining the same God. (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
Your beliefs shape the kind of
feedback you get from God. (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
God is not concerned about a person's
sexual orientation whether gay or straight. (Kerry Kirk)
Kevin Williams' Idea of the
Concept Called "God" |
|
Many near-death experiencers have tried to describe
God and it is clear that words are useless when trying to completely convey what
God is. In fact, the very term God is practically a useless term, if not the
most useless term because it has been abused by so many for so long. With this
in mind, I will try to convey my own understanding of the concept called God. |

Imagine all of reality,
everything that there is, to be a gigantic dream. It is a dream for which there
exists nothing outside of it. This dream is pure thought, emotion, deeds and
words. The dream is every event that was, is and will be. Some words that have
been used in an attempt to describe this dream are: |
|
(1) |
As pure thought,
this dream is Mind itself. It is Light that contains all the knowledge there is.
The Light is what everything is made up of. |
|
|
(2) |
As pure emotion,
this dream is unconditional Love itself. It is the power that holds everything
together - the power behind every atom. |
|
|
(3) |
As pure Being,
this dream is Life itself. It is thought put into action - into the physical and
every other dimension of reality. The dreamer is living Spirit with Mind as the
builder and everything (the dream) is the result. |
|
|
Trying to describe exactly what or who God is, is
like trying to describe life itself - an impossibility. It is impossible to
fathom the unfathomable. Words, by their very nature, are limiting. Once you
define something you have set a limit on it. (Kevin
Williams) |
