mediumship, pre-existence
This experience contains both biblical and seriously problematic elements. The positive aspects include perceiving God as living light consistent with biblical descriptions, the boundary or window representing the finality of death's crossing, the deceased aunt appearing young and radiant as in resurrection bodies, and the mission to care for family aligning with biblical values. The instantaneous telepathic communication could represent how spirits communicate. However, there are significant unbiblical elements that cannot be overlooked. The claim of developing mediumship abilities to speak with the deceased, particularly someone who died in 1922, directly contradicts biblical prohibitions against consulting the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Isaiah 8:19). The belief in pre-mortal existence ("I knew I existed before being born on earth") contradicts biblical teaching that God forms us in the womb. The statement about wanting to "return home" from a pre-earth existence aligns more with Mormon or New Age theology than biblical Christianity. While the Catholic Church acknowledges mystical experiences, communicating with the dead as a regular practice is forbidden. The ongoing clairaudient communication with deceased persons constitutes necromancy or spiritism, which Scripture explicitly condemns. Though the experience produced some positive fruits like belief in God and eternal life, the development of occult practices makes this largely incompatible with biblical Christianity.
Henrietta suffered from peritonitis with double occlusion and double abscess after being misdiagnosed for 10 days. Left on a stretcher in the emergency room, she felt herself passing and made her prayers. Suddenly propelled into the air with no pain, she floated in black void approaching an intense bluish-white light that didn't dazzle her. She stopped as if behind an open window, wanting to jump into the beneficial, living light she perceived as God. Her deceased grand-aunt Andrée appeared young and bright wearing double pearl necklaces. When Henrietta asked to stay, her aunt smiled and refused through instantaneous telepathy. Her aunt revealed she wanted Henrietta to care for her daughter. Henrietta then saw a vision of her living cousin and elderly uncle from above, several floors below, who couldn't perceive her. She sensed that crossing the window frame would make return impossible. Recognizing her aunt's infinite wisdom and the unconditional love from the light cradling her aunt, she obeyed and said goodbye. After being propelled back and losing consciousness, she awoke during a scanner exam the next day. Surgery saved her barely in time. The surgeon was astonished at the misdiagnosis. Since then, Henrietta can speak with deceased people through clairaudience and telepathy, particularly someone who died in 1922 who helps her with life. The experience gave her certainty about God as living light, eternal life, and that deceased beings are alive and well.
