Many of us have seen or heard of the boy Colton who claims he went to heaven during a near-death experience, when he was four years old. He describes how he sat on the lap of Jesus.
Helen Tzima Otto suggests that the Illumination of Conscience will be similar to a near-death experience. In her book, The Economy of Salvation, 2009, she quotes from the research of Dr. Raymond Moody, who has identified a number of common elements in near-death experiences.
Below are several of those elements, I believe we will each undergo during the Illumination.
1. An out of body sensation
2. Meeting the Being of Light
3. Reviewing our entire life; all its acts and failures to act from the point of view of the Creator
4. Re-entering the body
5. Having the certain knowledge that there is a life other than the one we normally experience
We will all endure the Illumination at the same time. I believe humanity will be in what I will call a "state of suspended animation".
We will each react differently to our Illumination, with most of us lacking the words to describe what happened.
The critical issue will be our belief in or denial of our experience.
Many of us will choose to change our lives out of gratitude for being given a second chance.
What is preventing me from making that change today, in anticipation of the Illumination?
