I read a little over a year ago involving a woman who had a near death experience, except her story had a Christian slant to it. This woman describes
being lead up to heaven, meeting several types of angels, including very large, guardian angel types. She also describes meeting Jesus, who's
likeness in form was not like that of this Vishnu creature you met,
From a purely logical point of view it would make sense that these beings could chose which form they would appear in to different people or
cultures...
There is evidence that Jesus went to the East, some have suggested that he might even have been Buddha...
We have several main religions and many more smaller ones... but can a Christian tell a Muslim that his vision is wrong? We do it all the time... We
have seen crusades, we have seen inquisitions to force you to believe... we have seen Holy Wars and Jihads for thousands of years just in our recorded
history and who know how long before that?
Yet if you study the Qu'ran, the Bible, the Vedic scriptures... they all have the same basic underlying truths... and fortunately for mankind the
majority of all cultures have recognized this inside their heart and mind...
Had they not we would be doomed... it is the fanatics on all sides that cause the problems
Talk to some religious leaders... The God of the Jews, the Muslims and the Christians is the same god... I have even seen threads and forums on the
internet where the three sides discuss this openly
The differences are only in MAN's interpretation
If a Muslim had such an experience as Dan... I would expect that the enties he describes meeting would Allah and related... while a Christian would
meet Jesus and the Angels... and a Buddhist would be taken to someone like Vishnu...
As Dan describes it there are a lot of beings out there and gazing on their true form would not be healthy... so by implication that means they would
appear to you in a form that you could handle
Imagine the shock to a devote Muslim of being taken before Vishnu? I would expect it would not have the results of enlightenment.
One of the things I have found is that experiences like Dan's are all personal. Though they have the basics ... beings of light, reading your life,
great beautiful hallways... all the same, the message is directed at the person having the experience.
I think this is one of the biggest reasons that this is so hard to accept for the mundane world... they are looking for confirmation based on what
they THINK it is like, or what they have been brought up to BELIEVE is right... then when the report comes back that does not match their preconceived
notions... they do not accept it
From my point of view your story of the Christian lady matches that of Dan... one needs merely to look beyond the presented forms. And as humans have
a huge variety in appearance. does it not seem logical that beings on the next levels would also have different appearances?
Hope this makes sense... haven't had my coffee yet
To Dan
I will admit though that I had taken you for Christian (I suppose your new avatar enforced that) but to here you describe the blue guy... that caught
me off guard
