psychic abilities
While the experience contains some biblical elements like peace and being sent back, the development of psychic abilities is problematic. The ability to "speak along with others" and know about infidelity through dreams resembles divination, which scripture condemns. The beings lack identification as angels or divine messengers. The spiritual development moved toward psychic practices rather than biblical faith.
Susan was at dinner with parents when she felt deep chest pain and passed out. She remembers people she didn't know coming toward her, showing only their faces, telling her to go back. She felt calm and like there was nothing she could do to stop what was happening. She experienced incredible joy, relief, and unity with the world. She felt she suddenly understood everything about the universe. After the experience, she can tell dying people not to be afraid because it doesn't hurt. She developed psychic abilities including vivid dreams and ability to sense things about people.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: Being sent back by spiritual beings. Overwhelming peace and joy. Unity with creation. Transformation removing fear of death. Unbiblical elements: Development of psychic abilities and emphasis on reading others' minds/emotions moves toward occult practices rather than biblical discernment. |
