We’ve heard so many Near Death stories about people encountering an all encompassing, loving white light that embraces them with a profound love. Past family members greet them and love envelops their being.
Less popular are the ones about falling into a hellish nightmare filled with fire, tortured screams, vulgar taunts from demons about what they’re going to do to you, and a profound absence of love or light or compassion or any sense that this will ever end.
How to know which you’ll get? Here are a few scenarios to help you figure out what type of person you are and, thus, which afterlife awaits you:
• You’re in stopped traffic. You can’t see what’s causing it, and even if you could you’re not in a position to do anything about it. Do you honk your horn or wait it out patiently?
Honk: fiery hell.
Wait it out: loving white light.
• You are carrying a take-out bag of a delicious chicken meal. You enter a train and sit down. Everyone can smell your meal and is grossed out because it is pervading the enclosed train air. You are very hungry and would like nothing more than to devour the chicken meal. Do you take it out and further pollute the train’s oxygen or do you wait till you are out of the train?
Eat it in the train: fiery hell.
Wait till out of the train: loving white light.
• You’re on a train or bus and you want to sit alone. There’s an empty seat next to you that you’re praying someone doesn’t sit in. People are starting to file in and you’re sweating and praying for no one to sit next to you because you really want to sit alone. You consider either putting your bag on the empty seat next to you or, if it’s a train, lying down across both seats.
Place bag on seat / lie across both seats: fiery hell.
Accept your fate: loving, white light.
• You love music but unfortunately don’t have $10 for even the cheapest wireless headphones, even though you have a $1000 phone. All you want to do is play your favorite tunes but you’re out in public and there are a lot of people around. You may even be on a train or a bus or in a store or restaurant. The urge to play music is burning within and you’re about to explode if you don’t play some music out loud, even though everyone will hear it.
Play the music without headphones: fiery hell.
Wait till alone or save up $10 for headphones: loving, white light.
• You are part of an ATV crew. You and your crew roam the streets at night blaring music and loud motors. Everyone looks at you. You feel on top of the world and a confidence you’ve never known. This is exactly what you were meant to be doing.
Fiery hell, no exceptions.
• You have an explosive bowel movement in a public restroom and it gets on the walls and floor somehow. No one except you knows how, but it’s everywhere. It’s weird. Maybe you are running late for an appointment. Again, no one except you knows. All anyone knows is that you exploded all over the bathroom and no one has ever seen this before and can’t figure out how it happened and why it wasn’t cleaned up.
You’re clinically insane: maybe fiery hell or maybe loving, white light; it depends on the rest of your life.
You’re sane and you needed to leave immediately because of a life or death situation or an appointment you COULD NOT miss – perhaps the explosion was even due to nerves: loving, white light.
You’re sane but you are also grossed out by public restrooms and don’t want to touch anything, including your own feces, which is somehow everywhere, but only you know how that happened: fiery hell.
You’re sane, you don’t need to leave immediately for anything urgent, you looked around at the mess, and decided that’s what janitors are for: fiery hell.
We hope this helps you figure out what awaits you when death comes calling. But the good news is if you saw yourself in the fiery hell camp, it’s never too late to change course. You just have to realize that other people want to be happy.
