Light of God

What we can learn from people who die and have so-called Near Death Experiences is that they report experiencing God or the light of God beyond death. After leaving their bodies, people explain entering another worldly dimension that is beyond human comprehension and for lack of words to describe this other dimension people resort to using the word God. There is simply no other experience or reference point here in this world that compares to what is experienced in the near death experience (NDE), and therefore, people are forced to use the realm of God to explain what they have experienced.

In my new book, The Light Behind God, I reveal my in-depth study of 16 people who have had a near death experience. Here I found that when I asked: “What would you describe the core or essence of your experience as,” 53 percent checked the box with “pure being,” and 60 percent said yes to “essence of existence.” Moving further into trying to put a name on this core or essence, the consensus became even higher with 73 percent agreeing to call it “the Light.” The highest consensus was found through the religious word “God,” where 80 percent agreed to call the core of their experience – the experience of “God.”

One person in my study explains:

“What I knew when I came back was that I know that light was of God. It was of or from God. I didn`t think the light itself was necessarily God, although it could be, I don`t know. But I know that that light is part of God...or a part of what God emits.”
