Yesterday I attended my monthly meeting for people who have had Near-Death-Experience (NDE) or had other spiritual awakenings. During the group there was a brief discussion of negative feelings such as hate, anger, guilt and shame. It was mentioned that even on this plane of existence such feelings block free flowing growth. It was also mentioned that those feelings do not exist on the “other side”. As I have experienced the overwhelming love in that place is absolute, lacking those negative emotions, the duality we know so well. I first experienced that absolute through meditation as suggested by Nisargadatta Maharaj. I quickly discovered that my pain and disability did not exist there either. I found that if I could meditate that deeply — I would leave my pain behind. I did not understand it but I experienced it.
