    After my breakup with my ex bf of 6 years, I had similar experience. It was a toxic relationship with a narcissistic person and I suffered a lot. I left my job and lived all by myself for a month and kept asking why me? One night I saw a hooded figure above my head when I was sleeping and I wasn't afraid. I asked him "why me?"
    It replied" forgive it, you are the one who can do this" and it vanished. I don't think this figure knew the language I spoke, but it tried it's best to convey the message.
    In next few days I realised what had said.
    A person who is never hurt by anyone cannot hurt another soul. Those who carry pain and emotional baggage in heart unconsciously hurt the other person. If I forgive the experience I had, I would be a loving person again. It was not easy to do that but somehow after that I didn't suffer like most others in similiar situation suffer. It was a blessing. I am still doing the inner work and everyday comes with new hope and better me.

      I'm assuming you aren't seeing physical visions of a human being, and you are instead filled with love from _inside_ . Then the love is coming from _you_ . If you remove the idea of a jewish man from your experience, then you can see _yourself_ as love and can realise that everyone else is too. This 'special relationship' that you have is actually cutting you off from others.

    God has spoken to me 3 times, the first when I was down & out & contemplating suicide, he said It is not yet your time. The second years later while almost asleep He said read the bible & the most recent was last year before meditating I asked God to be with me & He said I Am You! I is a profound experience unlike no other.

    I suffer from severe anxiety where it gets to the point where I honestly think I'm dying and the only way I can calm myself down a little is hearing stuff about god and heaven and near death experiences. Because in a state of thinking your dying you want comfort of an afterlife, and it helps

      Palestinian Rambo persistence as well. When I experienced God for the first time it was after I screamed at him because I was so tired of not knowing. An hour later he showed up. It's ok to get mad and frustrated, he has the most mercy and grace you never knew was possible! He tells us, draw near to me and I will draw near to you in the scriptures. Knock and the door will be opened. Seek and you shall find. You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing! Just be patient and even a little mad if you have to. He can handle it 😍 God bless you brother!

    Such a beautiful talk, and so important for people to understand. I try to comfort people because so many fear God, or fear death, but I Am a living testament after a death experience having my child, I was overdosed on anesthesia in an emergency c section, it killed me Michael Jackson style. They had to take my child, then try to get me back. Long story short, where I went was utter Bliss and joy, pure exhilarating unconditional love. There was no religion, BUT some people want or need religion, so we should never disparage people's choices really, just understand EVERYONE is here to experience what they came here to experience. It's so much more simple than people realize. Some souls are just curious, some came for a small mission, some for huge missions, why as religious people should never pull someone else off their Pat of what they chose to experience here on Earth. I was in youth ministry when I died had been for 15 years. After death I removed myself and chose no religion at all, although Jesus was in my experience, he was NOTHING like I had been taught all my life, he was numerous and loving and simple with no agenda except to show us ALL love, especially to those who hate him. I got to meet my son there before he was born, I got to see things I can never describe in the detail I saw them, but most of ALL fear was gone I was so fearless after. Death did not have any pain or fear. Coming back did.

      Beware of false teachings satan & his demons will even appear as angels of the light to deceive people !
      As it is written & Scripture says!
      Yes heaven is all love and joy and peace because “GOD IS LOVE “
      And yes God is not a religion !
      HE is SPIRIT and His SACRED WORD IS THE SPIRIT THAT GIVES LIFE 🕊Which became flesh in His beloved Son Jesus Christ who is the ONLY WAY to the TRUTH that leads to ETERNAL LIFE and Jesus makes it very clear that the only way to the FATHER and the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS THROUGH HIM 🔥And the ONLY WAY TO HIM ,is if The FATHER SENDS YOU ♥️
      I have no idea what you experience but I am CERTAIN that people who hate Jesus and die in their own sin ☠️won’t be entering the kingdom of heaven
      Because scripture says it’s so and scripture is not a religion !Its the SACRED WORD & HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD THAT GIVES LIFE ♥️✝️🕊
      Jesus never said he came to bring or change religion of the world of flesh 🌪🌪🌪
      HE CLEARLY SAYs ,” I HAVE COME TO BRING THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE WORLD .Amen
      If those who hate Jesus Christ & those who don’t believe in him die without repenting and accepting him as their Lord and Saviour they will not see the kingdom they will end up in Hell’s damnation like God’s Sacred Holy word warns us and says...
      For all you people who find relief believing it’s so simple to live your life of flesh and be of the world then at the hour of death be saved .
      I can only remind that God is never changing and Jesus says,” BE IN THE WORLD ! NOT OF IT OTHERWISE YOUR NOT ONE OF MINE ! Now I’m not preaching religion ! I’m spreading the good news ,The gospel 🕊For Jesus also says,IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP THE FATHERS COMMANDMENTS AND FOLLOW ME OBEY MY TEACHINGS ♥️✝️🕊
      JESUS ALSO SAYS .”GOD IS SPIRIT AND LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM THAT WAY ,THEN THE FATHER AND I WILL COME AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH YOU AND WE WILL BE IN YOU AND YOU’LL BE US .Amen ¥

    my dear Tracy Lynn your message spoke volumes about listening to that inner voice. yes God did speak to you and now you're giving a message that we all need to know we are all brothers knit together and created by almighty God who speaks to us if we only listened it could save our life. that same enter voice spoke to me October 1st 2017 1 1/2 years ago. I was on my way into my car after my long workday. I was expected to meet with friends after work to see a dear friend who was in hospice care. I was sitting in the car at the point of exhaustion and spoke to myself saying I am so tired I think I'd rather go home and sleep it's been a very hard day it was then I Heard a Voice say to me do not go home go to the house with your friends. I then said to that voice oh dear all I do is go go go I never find time to rest. I was almost about to fall asleep in the car. an extreme tiredness came over me. I heard the voice again saying even louder at this time go now go you must go. I then said back to myself of that inner voice, this is ridiculous I need to go home I'm too tired. or maybe I should just rest here in the car for 10 minutes and shut my eyes. then I heard the voice again it was so loud and clear and demanding of me to go right now do not wait go now. go to the house with your friends now go go go. that is exactly how I heard it. I felt as if I didn't go my friend would die who was in hospice and I would feel guilty not seeing her. tired as I was I started up the car and headed to Yarmouth Port where she lived and all my friends were there. I remember vaguely being there and I do remember we shared Memory Lane with our friend. when it was time to leave walking out onto the deck I suddenly remember saying I feel so dizzy that's when I fell backwards and died. I was told one of the nurses started CPR on me did mouth-to-mouth as well she kept working on me until the EMTs arrived 38 minutes later I still did not have a pulse the EMTs tried 5 defibrillators and still no pulse everyone who was around me started to cry and pray out loud that God would bring me back. They Carried Me Down The Long staircase to the ambulance and told everyone that I am dead there is no hope. one of the EMTs decided to try one more time with a defibrillator and I received a pulse. I was rushed to the hospital and when I woke up face to face with the doctor he told me I had cardiac arrest I was one out of a hundred that would survive from such a long time not coming back. he asked me if I saw Jesus?? my reply was yes I was just with him. the doctor smiled he would come back later he wants to hear all about it. now I will share my encounter With Jesus. when I died it was not death but another life beyond this life greater and more profound been any Joy I have ever experienced in life. I remember and I will always remember this changed my entire life. I remember when I passed out and literally died however I was not dead in my opinion because I lived within the scope of transition being faced with all my relatives standing next to me my grandparents my father who was in a uniform home I've never remembered because he died when I was just a baby in the Normandy and my father's parents all of whom I remember to photographs. they were so happy to see me they help a glass up in their hands and clicking the glasses saying we're so happy you're here we knew you were coming we are getting a table set for you !! all around me where little children romping around in white dresses with lace-trimmed all around and flowers in their hair they were skipping with joy they were also animals dogs and cats that were once mine they're also surrounding me and I remember many of them greeting me with affection. it was then that this bright beaming white light surrounded all of us and it focused on me and I could feel my body coming out of my body and I saw myself lying on the ground with people trying to help me everyone was crying I then found myself in the arms of Jesus he was so magnificent I knew it was him I saw the wounds on his hands as he held me I became This Little Child in his arms. it was a Father's Love I never had. he was the father and mother who comforted me I looked into his eyes as he was looking out into the world I knew what he was thinking and he knew my thoughts as well!! It was amazing I felt his sorrow for all humankind as he looked out into the world is eyes were so heavy with tears as if he wanted to save the world and many were not listening they went about it their own way. he then turn me around while I was still in his arms I felt safe with him he was my hero my Superman that's how I thought when he was holding me. it was then I was face-to-face with this beautiful gate filled with roses of all kind and I could still remember the fragrance of that gate beyond the gate I could hear voices clapping and cheering saying hurry let's set the table she is almost here I no it was my relatives preparing my arrival to greet me at the banquet they are preparing for me. above the gate I could see the sky all lit up as like in Aurora of colors and within that rainbow of Lights I could hear thousands of angels singing a cappella the most beautiful sound I ever heard. then Jesus return me face back I was at the feet of him and he showered me with warm water it must have been holy water or the River of Life for the gift of life whatever was it was filling my body with life I had my hands on his feet he had sandals on and I could see the wounds on his feet where he also suffered and died for me and he resurrected he did not die just like I did not die I was in the spirit with him. I was with the resurrected Christ the Jesus who is the mediator between God and man he opens the gate to heaven when it's our time. it was then I heard his voice and he said to me, my child my child, it is not your time yet you have yet so much more to do for me. it took me nearly a year to recover I had to learn how to walk again get my balance back and start over. I have shared my experience with many people since then even in the hospital many have listened and so has my doctor they all said this transforms not only my life but there's as well. people who take care of people are truly angels on Earth. I can go on about my story but God has placed so many people in my life I have become extremely sensitive to their feelings and their problems and sometimes it becomes overwhelming and I have learned to pray with them and for them and Miracle seemed to happen one after the other. I can see no that God is still using me for such a purpose to draw people closer to him but we are living in a very divided world he would like all of us to reconnect to become brothers and sisters and to love one another and begin to believe there is and almighty God who loves us all so much. ask and you shall receive the kingdom of God. saying the Our Father the prayer that Jesus gave us has so much meaning it tells it all in one little prayer God speaks to us. I pray God bless whoever reads this and it will help them to carry on and may God bless you tremendously whoever reads this

    "Do not judge or you will be judged, for by the measure you judge others you shall be judged." Jesus loves us all and reaches out to us where we are. Good talk. I could relate because I have had many such conversations with God myself. Many. I asked God how to find a place where I had no idea where it was in a big Chinese city where few speak english and He guided me to the place. I followed His voice and it guided me to where I needed to be. Jesus said, "My sheep know my voice."

    God, or the inner voice speaks to all people, but 10% of them recognize the voice to be foreign of themselves.
    90% believe it's their intelligence, or intuition.
    But I thank you mam for your brilliant TED talk, you put the word out better than I or many could.
    It good to know, that I am not alone.
    My life has been saved a few times in a miraculous way, and I got to know the higher power since.
    I am happy to have had that extra help.

How can we be so narrow-minded to think that something all-knowing exists only as we choose to see it?

    I've been asking God aka the universe for help and guidance for over three decades... for as long as I can remember. Once in awhile, I feel like I've gotten some odd, indirect answer which required much interpretation at best to even consider it that and which any outside entity could easily dismiss it away. There has been one consistency though. The answers always come when I need them the most. When I am at my lowest and almost unable to continue fighting. I think perhaps, this time, the answer is simply that this video was listed in my recommended videos.
