reincarnation, Benjamin Creme
While containing genuine NDE elements, this experience includes problematic theological content. The sensation of having "died before many times" suggests reincarnation, contradicting biblical teaching of one life and judgment. The connection to Benjamin Creme and the "reappearance of Christ" as Maitreya represents new age theology incompatible with orthodox Christianity. The Being of light and rose-pink presence around Earth, while initially seeming divine, becomes concerning given the Maitreya connection. Biblical discernment warns against false Christs and deceptive spiritual experiences. Though the experience contains valid NDE elements like out-of-body consciousness and encountering beings of light, the theological framework and subsequent involvement with new age movements indicates potential spiritual deception requiring careful biblical evaluation.
Nineteen-year-old Mark experienced a severe asthma attack at home before Christmas. After forcing himself to breathe through increasing pain like a stone on his chest, he consciously gave up and stopped breathing. The pain immediately ceased and his consciousness lifted into his head, thinking calmly that his life was over. He saw red then white-black flashing before leaping out the top of his head like a jack-in-the-box, finding his body repellent. In warm black space, he moved toward expanding light through a grey tunnel, recognizing he had died AGAIN and disappointed at not remembering this familiar experience or accomplishing anything in life. He understood everything in his life was self-caused. Encountering a great Being of overwhelming love and intelligence, he merged with it experiencing boundless love and deathless existence. He saw Earth wrapped in rose-pink light from a Giant Being he wondered might be Jesus, receiving the message to make known the appearance of Christ. His concern for his mother's grief brought him plunging back, waking on a stretcher. He estimates being gone 10-15 minutes.
