Near Death but Not Nearly Dying

comfort, courage, Harold Klemp, SoulBy Linda Anderson, Minnesota

A woman we’ll call Cindy faced a life-threatening medical condition. After Cindy fell asleep in her hospital bed, the Mahanta, her spiritual guide, took her into another dimension to view what was really happening.

Cindy found herself in a Roman coliseum where gladiators fought each other. The sound of clashing blades and the sight of dust and blood convinced her that she was facing a battle for her life.

One night while she was still in the hospital, Cindy moved into a higher state of consciousness. The Mahanta took her to a meeting with several ECK Masters

One of the ECK Masters said to Cindy, “Your body’s very sick. And we’re looking at what your spiritual duties can be in the other worlds.”

He asked, “What is your goal in life?”

Cindy answered, “To serve God.”

The ECK Master said, “You’re ready to drop this body. You can go on into the other planes.”

Cindy thought about her life on earth. Her daughter was in her early twenties and would grieve over losing her mother. So Cindy said, “I would like to go back.”

The ECK Master told Cindy that she had earned the right of choice. She’d grown spiritually and was becoming a Co-worker with the Mahanta and at some point would become a Co-worker with God. Cindy had earned the right to choose where she wanted to serve God.

When she faced death, Cindy had a firsthand experience with the benefits of expanded awareness. She knew that her experiences were real.

Unlike most people who have near-death experiences, this ECKist knew where she was, who she was with, and that she had the freedom to make this important choice. She even knew the consequences. She’d only be dropping the physical body. As Soul she’d live on in the heavens to learn, serve, and love some more.

What a gift this awareness is!

“When we leave the physical body permanently—if we are advanced to any degree at all—there need be no concern for this life on earth, for we have moved into a far greater expression of it. Our divine evolution is a wonderful thing. . . .

“There will be a lightness and spaciousness about the body that you wear there. Soul is once again wearing a body, but It is on a higher plane. It is so natural that generally you don’t give it a second thought. And you are always greeted by someone you know and love.”
