Experience description:
At 4:15 PM on
December 22, 1986, I felt as though I was dying, really dying. I lay down and
soon was flooded by the most intensely bright white light filled with the most
awesome Power and Love in the universe. In the light I heard the thunderous
fluttering winds and the most beautiful sounds of angels voices singing louder
than the thunderous winds. My body was becoming paralyzed with the power of the
Light. The Love was overwhelming to me. I was terrified of losing control over
my bodily functions-- desire to be in control, desire itself, movement, thought,
everything human was dying in this light.
When it swallowed me whole, an explosion of Ecstasy and Love started from my
belly and expanded into the light itself. Soon, I became the Light and became
Innocence, Love, Ecstasy, Peace, Power and Beauty and Wisdom of the Light. Like
a mother carrying a child in her arms, the light carried me upwards and at
tremendous speed. The Light itself spoke to me and I knew it was God, the Power
that created the whole universe. The Light told me this first clear light
heaven I was in (which was a million times brighter than any love I ever felt on
earth), was filled with countless paradise planets. I looked down at my body and
it was made of white light but still had a luminous human form.
I spent some time there, but was taken higher, where the Joy and Glory of God
was crushing me to the point that I could not bear the Ecstasy any longer, thus
I exploded into a new light and Glory of Innocence, Love, Ecstasy, Peace, Power
and Wisdom one million times brighter than the first Heaven was. My new body
was brighter and clearer and could somehow withstand this exponential increase
in Glory. I was told this Second Heaven was filled with countless paradise
planets. In each ascending Heaven, the Glory of these qualities in the light,
multiplied another million times. It is inconceivable how bright and beautiful
life is in these heavens to any mind alone, separate from this light. I was
taken to the point where the Ecstasy and Love were so overwhelming; I could
barely stand the levels of cosmic energy and Ecstasy any longer.
I exploded into a new light one million times brighter than the Second Heaven;
thus the Third Heaven. Here, my body was still human but so much white light
shining from it I could not believe my eyes. I could see for millions of miles
with perfect clarity. The sounds of the Angels' singing was so beautiful, and
thunderous and Glorious above me, I felt as if their sound vibrations were
filled with wisdom, (so sophisticated) that these sound vibrations were actually
creating life and myriad possibilities in the universe: that Angelic sounds were
not just singing for the fun of it alone, but were creating with sounds.
I sped through this Third Heaven and was taken into the fourth where the Glory
of God was so bright, I felt any being here was beyond even inconceivable
Glory. My body was so bright here that it had little remains of the human
form. The Glory was so bright and filled with these qualities, I told God "I
can't take any more. You are far greater than I ever imagined God to be by
inconceivable measure. Whole Galaxies of energy could be created by this
light.
I asked God to not take me higher, but God did. At this point, because the
Glory was so bright and beyond my abilities, this amazing quality, descending
down from the even brighter light above me. I do not think there are any
planets up here, but perhaps beings live inside of stars here. The Grace of
God, the most beautiful and poetic quality of God came down like millions of
leaves falling in harmony and stilled and purified the Ecstasy and Glory to the
point that I could bear it. I could write a whole chapter on Grace and not do it
justice.
Then I was taken into the Fifth Heaven. My body was now like a giant sun. It
had no human form any more. The Glory here was unspeakable. What goes on here
is truly unbelievable for human beings.
I stayed there for some time and was taken into the Sixth Heaven, which is a
million times brighter than the Fifth. I will not speak about how bright God is
here. The Angels were singing so loud that no human ears could hear this music
of the universe. My body was an even brighter sun merged into the central light
of God.
I was then taken into the Seventh heaven, and what happens there is so far
beyond my abilities, God brought me down. I only lasted ten seconds in the
Seventh Heaven. Whole galaxies could be created with the light there with total
ease. Any beings that can go there are millions of years more evolved than I am.
To think that in each of these higher heavens the Light and Glory of Innocence,
Love, Ecstasy, Peace, Power, Beauty, Grace and Wisdom multiplies a million times
over the preceding heaven, makes it so difficult to pass through and live in.
