Experience Description

I reached the end of myself and was dying because of drug use. As I rose out of my body, the vibrations started to intensify. At first evil was all around. I went to the depths of despair and spiraled down to the pit and was completely broken at the bottom of hell. I then realized why I was there. I was not sent there by God. I had put myself there. I realized at which point in my life my security had given way and it was age five. I had to move to America and leave the security of my uncle who was like a father to me. I lost all security at that point. Later I leaned on God as much as I could and became support to my family and then my wife and kids. I was spiritually leading them. But I didn't love myself so I couldn't lean on anyone because I felt I didn't deserve it. Slowly I started to destroy myself by holding things in then got sick physically. Then I leaned on pain medication to hold me up.

In the pit, I realized that God is one and he stands as one. We are all an extension of God and if we don't stand as one we will fall. That's how the universe is connected. If we hurt those around us, we are hurting ourselves and we will fall. Because who will be our support when we need it? If we love others by first loving ourselves we are close to God and others. But if we hurt, hold bitterness, are unforgiving, hatred or any other thing against ANYONE we are going to destroy ourselves. Because we will keep the bitterness inside and it will make us physically sick and we'll eventually spiral down to the pit. If a person stands on food, drugs, money, sex, adultery or anything other than God or people, we are leaning on paper and will fall and eventually spiral down into the pit.

Then I said to myself by God's spurring, 'He (God) loves me, even me.' When this knowledge came, I knew I didn't have to be there any longer. I put myself there because I didn't believe God loved me so I didn't love myself. Now that I loved myself, I felt worthy of going higher. And God said to me the universe exists in perfect balance. When you are broken, he MUST put you back together again so the universe can make room for the next person who must break and realize they are loved. He showed me that in order to experience the Heights, one must experience the Depths as a balance and that the only safe straight line is the line of death. That's where the balancer or advocate waits to balance out the scales for everyone's life. Some people experience enough hell in life that they don't need to go there when death comes. But even the world has the strongest country and weakest. Cruel nation for kind ones and so is the balance of life as the molecule seeks balance also.

God reached out his hand and brought me up to the heights of heaven and made me realize why my life had been as it had and healed me. I heard angels sing and melodies beyond belief. Eternal melodies that start simple but can have instruments and voices added to them for infinity. I was able to remember three of these melodies and the words to one of the three songs. I know there is also much I forgot. I still know in my depths that God loves me and I love myself and am extremely amazed that I can love everyone around me so much, even strangers. I don't know how, all I know is that it is. My blood sugar also went from 330 to normal without insulin and my blood pressure went to normal and so my cholesterol and triglycerides and I can tell by the little anxiety I sometimes let in that my sugar and blood pressure are a little high and I could tell how high. The doctors monitoring me were all amazed by this. I realize that if a person is at perfect peace inside, he will be well outside. There are exceptions that have to do with destiny. I know sickness is spiritual not physical.

This is just the beginning. I will try to think positive and keep bad feelings out of me and not worry so I stay healthy and strong both emotionally and physically!
