IANDS 886 Love Everything that Exists
11
Suggestive Evidence
8
Incompatible
universal consciousness, oneness with everything, pre-existence, experiencing past/present/future simultaneously
This experience is fundamentally incompatible with biblical Christianity, representing Eastern mystical and New Age concepts of ultimate reality. The core experience of becoming "the same as everything else" and that "love itself is everything that exists" represents pantheistic monism - the belief that all is one and all is god - which directly contradicts the biblical distinction between Creator and creation. The recognition of having "been there before" suggests pre-existence or reincarnation, both unbiblical concepts. Experiencing past, present, and future simultaneously as part of a universal whole contradicts the biblical linear view of time and individual existence. The description of hundreds of senses being reduced to five suggests a gnostic view where physical existence is a prison for the true spiritual self. The concept that separation is foreign and unnatural opposes the biblical teaching of humanity's distinct creation in God's image as separate beings. While the experience of overwhelming love might seem positive, the framework is entirely non-theistic, replacing the personal God of scripture with an impersonal universal consciousness. The lasting sense of remaining partially "out there" suggests an unhealthy dissociation rather than the integrated wholeness scripture promises. This account represents a worldview completely at odds with biblical Christianity.
The experiencer blacked out after witnessing gruesome violence, beginning with terror and confusion similar to a frightening experience years earlier. They moved through darkness at beyond light speed with things whooshing past and through them, like a tunnel without spatial limits. They recognized being part of the everythingness around them and realized they had been there before, though identity and spatial concepts didn't exist. A glow appeared inside and outside simultaneously, bringing awareness of being the same as everything else - both ceasing to exist and being infinite, everywhere, everytime. They experienced their entire earthly existence simultaneously - past, present, and future - living it all at once while these experiences were part of the universal whole. After breaking through something, the glow intensified into beyond-unconditional love where love itself is everything that exists. Without warning, they felt separation from this unity and moved rapidly back through a dark tunnel toward a pinhole of earthly light. Fighting against returning, they realized the pinhole was 2012, feeling like eons had passed. Being forced back felt like hundreds of senses being suffocated until only five remained, like being shoved into a "weird and well-used jacket." Upon return, they couldn't initially categorize sensory input or recognize objects, slowly relearning that red and blue were colors, identifying walls, buildings, and humans. They maintained connection by looking into someone's eyes that showed universal love. The experiencer feels partially still "out there" with intense aftereffects changing their life permanently.
