Interpretation of Going Into The Light?

[tigletorf]

Hello! I am new here (nice to meet you) and blessed to find this site! Can you all share with me what you interpret it to mean when you say crossing over/going into the light? So, in your mind does that mean you become one with God/Source and lose your individual identity (ego I guess). How do you die and see yourself dead and then look up and see your higher self I guess I am stuck on that, the higher self? Or can you refer me to a good book to read on this that is plain. I have come on a spiritual crisis 'block' perhaps after experiencing a sort of near death experience sort of... and am having trouble now and things that were 'clear' to me before are muddled. I am also overly attached now here because of my cutie pie kiddos and that isn't good in my mind and yet for some reason the idea of crossing over is so vague when it wasn't before. (Was feeling myself pulled down a dark tunnel, trying to shout out 'i am awakening' only i was speaking jibberish and wandering around according to my husband, then passed out' and now don't remember anything... except I feel distorted and panicky whereas I was secure before). So... I am curious to know when you go into the light... is this what you might refer to as "heaven" where our higher selves wander in their place of learning and hang out with God and decide "I'd like to incarnate sometime" and come back as someone else or how does that work. That's kind of how I see it. I am kind of going through a transformation right now and its taking its toll. I am enjoying hearing others interpretations in the meantime as I collect myself and restore my security blanket.

Thanks!!... having a spiritual 'crisis' & restoration I guess!

Crossing Over

As a FIRM believer in our Lord, my questioning started when I was 27. My husband and I had been going through infertility treatments. I had gotten pregnant but it was a molar ectopic that had ruptured. They had to do an emergency surgery to save my life. But 2 weeks later I landed back in the er in severe pain and back in another emergency surgery...I had a developed a rare cancer from the molar called persistent trophoblastic disease. I was dying. It took a 3 hour surgery to try to save my life...but all I remember was my husband kissing me and saying "please come back to me"...and then nothing. Then I woke up in the ICU. I was there for 3 weeks on blood transfusions and wires and God knows what. They were doing everything they could and I was getting worse. And I finally looked at my mother and with tears in my eyes I said "mom, I'm not ready to die. Please don't let me just lay here and bleed to death.." You see, it was the first time I realized I could die and there might be a "nothingness"...because when they put me to sleep there was "nothing" and they had to fight to save me...."nothing" and that scared me! I BELIEVE in God but I feel my belief is being tested. I need help and I don't know what to do. I am going to end it here. I don't know what to say anymore except to say anything anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated. God bless. Angel

I believe you saw 'nothing' because you weren't approaching death...you were just unconscious for a lot of that time. You probably did dream some but you don't remember (maybe because of the drugs you were being given at the time?).

Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Our consciousness does carry on after we die, and your soul will be helped along in the transition by angels - especially if you ask for their help. Don't doubt what you believe because of the bad situation you were in.

You should also read the 3 articles Erin linked to above. Good stuff!
