Dead is Just a 4 Letter Word

I notice that you have used the word 'love' many times in your account. Did you find the nature of the 'love' you experienced during your NDE different to earthly 'love'? If so, can you elaborate?

I will not dissect the meanings of the word "love". You know that they are as many and varied as the persons or situations in which we use it. It usually applies to an emotion, a feeling.

I have tried to explain that the all pervasive love that was through, around over, and on me, that I felt as coming from the Divine Loving Being, was a power, not an emotion. It was it a power or force as electricity is a power or as wind is a force.

There was the emotion, or feeling, of two who care between that being and I as we communicated. We loved each other in a way that was similar to loving another person here. It was so much more strong and pure than our love here can be. Perhaps it was because there was only truth in it, nothing was hidden between us. Maybe it's because we can contain and share love better in those forms. But the LOVE I felt emanating from it was like a force or power, NOT an emotion.

I saw my self as "being made of it", when I saw my self through that Being's view. I perceived it as being the substance of the Divine Loving Being; it's "body". "We were "the same""; self and other aware, thinking beings, made of the same basic substance and appearing as similar "bodies". I related to it as the substance that we, as beings of spirit, were formed from, like my clay pot is made from earth.

The Divine Loving Being and I were composed of the same matter. I "saw" us as golden, glowing and emitting a light, so bright and brilliant, that we were more like suns and stars rather than "humans". What made us "shine" was the substance that our forms were shaped from.

I have called it LOVE the Power to try and differentiate between that and love, the emotion. No other word we have here can describe that Power and the phrase "LOVE the Power", is hollow and empty of meaning in relation to what I am trying to describe.

LIFE as a Power, LOVE the Power....It was pure, clean, truth filled. It imbued one with clarity and strength, joy and bliss -- "love" -- was each building block that we were formed of. For me, the very matter of the spirit that is in each life here, is an "alive" thing, LOVE the Power.

What I really am, as this body sits here and types for me, is a self aware being composed of a "matter" that is LOVE the Power. I believe it is this power that IS "life". And we can't usually perceive it here. Usually, it's invisible here; there I saw it as shining like a sun.

For me, that substance is "contained" in anything that is "alive". IMHO, if this substance/life-force did not exist, neither would anything else that lives.

These are just my thoughts on this one experience. It's only how I saw it and relate to it. I'm no scientist. But if there is "one source" for all that exists, that source is composed of some thing I can only call LOVE the Power of LIFE.

I love you.

This is something quite interesting in that feeling "loved" in this plane of existence is not something I have myself "felt." I love my wife and my children. They love me, but it's all shown through external actions.

"Feeling" love sounds pretty different.

It is "different" enough that nothing I have written or said can express it to suit me. It is a type of matter, I think, that has not been seen or defined here.

Self aware, made of a compound I can only call "LOVE", emitting a force or essence that I can only call "LOVE's Heat", showing me we are, at the core, composed of the same matter and emitting the same force....

ARRGGHH!

Love one another. I give up.
