Have you ever wondered what it will be like? I think I can give you some insights.
First, no religion has it all right. Man has dabbled in religion distorting it too much for 100% accuracy. Don't get me wrong...religions provide necessary structure in humans lives and are overall pretty good, whatever the denomination. This excludes extremes like Christianity during the crusades, that Jones character types or Jihads, etc.
Here is the way I see it. On judgment day, God takes the blinders off of you and you see your life, every moment and every action, from his viewpoint. All the rationalizations people make are wiped away and you see your actions from Gods eyes. Jesus will be there with you.
The woman who damages her children though her own selfishness will see not only herself for who she is but how her decisions affected the children. On judgment day omnipotence is granted to see all the cause and effects played out and with no rationalizations left, the person judges themselves.
God gave me a sample of how it feels to be "see all" 25 years ago through I believe what is called an out of body experience--call me a "doubting Thomas" before this but what a gift to know there is nothing to fear. I also do not want this confused with some peoples story I have read who call out of body experience something very different from what I am referring to. In fact, I remember distinctly after that experience thinking, "Oh, then fear is the enemy". I have no idea why God gave me this special treatment but I just thought I would share it by telling you a little bit about what I learned and that is on judgment day--no more rationalizations and we judge ourselves from Gods perspective and are omnipotent when doing so. I should also say that Jesus' message of forgiveness is key in the process but until I fully experience it, I can't definitively tell you help.
So what was out of body like? It was early evening of my 21st year at my college dorm. I was sober and taking a nap. I woke up and floated out of my body in a dream like state. I wondered what my friends were doing and then I started floating toward the door, passed through the door into the hall and through the next door where my friends were sitting playing cards. I listened to what they were saying and then wondered where a friend was who was not there. No sooner thought than I started floating again through the dorm wall and into the quad where that person was sitting on a bench talking surrounded by other students. I was six floors up and wondered what they were saying and floated down over the top of them and listened for a while and then I wondered if I could fly and I started to rise up floating higher over the dorms and then higher over the city and as I floated higher, I wondered about another person and could hear then thinking and then realized I could hear more than one person and as I floated up over the city I opened my mind and realized I could hear all the people at once and as I processed different conversations, thousands of them at once or more, I realized how we humans worry about so many trivialities and that in the grand scheme of things, it was all going to be okay for all of us. I soon absorbed all there was to learn and know from all the people in the city…it was not hard, and wondered what else was up there…I had floated up to almost as high as an airplane or higher. At the notion of what else was out “there” I started moving, no long floating but moving at the speed of light or faster toward something in space. I was moving so fast that it occurred to me, and I felt fear, will I be able to get back? As soon as I thought about back, I stopped moving toward space and headed back…zink back in the body and because of the fear, the link was severed…I could feel the omnipotence fading but to relish the journey I tried to stave it off as much as I could. My awareness was soon just of my own body. I could feel my blood circulating in the veins and arteries, the heart pumping, I realized at that moment I could control my heart and knew how…just for a moment and also thought about those mediators who can control their hearts and realized I knew how and then I passed from the subconscious to the conscience and could not get back nor have I ever been able to again.
I laid in bed and tried to commit the entire journey to memory and eventually got up and went to see those friends. What really freaked them out was when I repeated the conversations they had, the cards that were in their hands, etc from the time earlier. I did the same with the friend sitting on the bench outside. I did not share with them how I knew as it was too much at the time but not I share this with you…under my penname. Forest Fortreas.
One of many gifts given by God to me and I know not why I have gotten such special treatment.
There is a lot more to the story but that is it for today.
