reincarnation, pre-existence choice, co-creator theology
While the experience contains several biblical elements like connection to divine presence and spiritual insight, it includes significant unbiblical concepts. The references to multiple lifetimes and accumulating knowledge over ages suggests reincarnation. The idea that souls chose their earthly experiences including suffering contradicts biblical teaching about the Fall. The concept of eventually becoming co-creators with God goes beyond biblical descriptions of believers' eternal state.
JR M experienced one of several NDEs while being transported to Lexington, KY after falling from a three-story building. His neck and head were swollen from the trauma. In the ambulance, after intense pain, he suddenly felt awakened to unfamiliar surroundings until realizing his location. He experienced a dramatic expansion of consciousness, sensing every living soul around him starting from his immediate center and flowing outward.
He reported sensing the three souls in the ambulance with him - their presence, love, emotions, and mental states. He heard their thoughts, felt their caring hands, and could see through their eyes, perceiving both their immediate future and past. Remarkably, he also sensed distant events simultaneously: an angry bus driver in Seattle, a lady killing a spider in Ripley, WV, and a bug hitting a train in Oklahoma. All these sensations occurred in what felt like a split second yet seemed eternal. He gained understanding of life's purpose, including the meaning of famine and suffering, comprehending that humans chose their reality including pain and joy. --- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience included heightened awareness, understanding of universal truths, connection to other souls, and insights about divine purpose. The concept of God as mentor and teacher aligns with biblical teachings. The emphasis on love and spiritual growth resonates with Christian theology. Unbiblical elements: The suggestion that humans chose all suffering and pain before existence implies pre-mortal choice, which conflicts with traditional biblical theology. References to multiple lifetimes and soul development over eons suggest reincarnation. The idea that we will become co-creators with God goes beyond traditional biblical roles. |
