The life review in the near-death experience (that everyone will experience on dying) shows us how we have affected others—from the perspectives of the recipients of our actions. We will palpably feel all the pain we have caused as well as the happiness we have spread. People who have had near-death experiences (NDEs) explain that the primary reason for coming to earth is to spread love and joy. The objective of the life review is to help us understand (through actual experience) what we did or did not do well so we can internalize this learning for our spiritual growth. Even those events which people had forgotten, or what they considered unimportant, had been recorded. They forcefully felt the wrong they had done even as children, in what many would consider as insignificant events. When one thinks of all the things people do that may harm someone, one gets an idea of the fairness of the life review and its purview. Those who wonder how a just and good God allows evil on earth can now understand that no one gets away with bad deeds. Every action will be experienced by the doer to its complete extent from the recipient’s perspective. Those who live wicked lives on earth will have to stay at a lower level in the spirit world until they have fully reviewed their lives from the perspective of those they harmed. They will feel all the pain and misery they caused and will have to internalize the profound life lessons revealed from the review. It is obvious that the life review is a remarkable way to deal with the evil and the injustices in the world. It is God’s perfect plan.
Excerpt:
Several respected scientists recognize that NDEs are real and not hallucinations as reductionists want to believe. These scholars have offered explanations for various aspects of the spirit dimension to increase our understanding of that realm.
For example, the idea that the spirit dimension is much more real than our physical dimension, is one to which many NDErs have readily attested. As one NDEr reported, “Now I finally know what it is to be alive.” NDErs also report that our world looks merely like a pale or “drab” version of the beauty of the spirit dimension with its brilliant colors.
Roger Dutheil (physicist and physician) had explanations for both these aspects. He stated that “our subluminal universe [earth] is only a holographic projection of the fundamental universe [heaven], where information and meaning are located.” He clarified that this does not mean that we are illusions, but simply a different level of reality, just as our reflection in a mirror is real, but not as real as we are. As a result, the earth is only a pale version of heaven, and not as beautiful—or as real—as the spirit dimension. Dutheil’s explanation of the different levels of reality fits Plato’s Cave allegory where people chained inside a cave think the shadows on the walls are real until one of them discovers the real world filled with brilliant sunshine outside the cave.
