@Eric
“this can only mean that the Infinite (God) is a finite being, much like a person. ”

Yes that is also what I came to understand. God is only infinite in relation to us, but not in the absolute sense of the word. In fact infinity does not have any real existence. it is a concept nothing more.

The experiences of NDE are diverse. Millions of people visit UK each year but no two of them have the same experience. To have a better understanding of Britain, short of going there personally, is to read numerous stories of those who had visited that country. One person may reach the coasts of Britain and find no cities. He then would return saying there are no towns and houses in Britain. I read many contradictory stories about the other world. All I can conclude is that these people had different experiences and to get a full picture, one has to read many stories.

Ali Sina says:

God is spirit. Spirits don’t have gender. We humans are also spirit and without a gender. When we come to this world we pick a gender and sometimes we choose male and some times female. However, some people who see God say they could not detect gender while others say he had distinctively male characteristics.

Spirit is essentially formless, and some near death experiencers look at themselves and don’t see their body. while others say they had a body and even clothing and all other things they were familiar with in this world. For example some say in Paradise there are houses, streets and buildings just as we have them here. I suppose we create reality with our own thought.

One person said he met angels and thought he had always imagined angels have wings. As he thought that the angels said to him if he prefered they would appear to him winged. He said, no they are fine without them. Another woman said she regularly visits her father and he always appears to her as an old man. But he told her that in the spirit word no one is old. He just appears to her that way because that is how she remembers him.

If what I have learned so far is correct, in the spirit world there are no forms, therefore no gender. Yet newcomers are given the privilege of experiencing that world in the way they are familiar with. I imagine the reason God is often seen as male is because this is how we generally expect Him to be. One woman who met God in person said, I am sorry that this offends some women, but God is definitely a male. That is how God manifested himself to her. I bet elephants see God as elephant and Gorillas see Him as Gorilla.

I received the following questions/opinions in my email. I reply to them here

Hello Dr Ali Sina,
These days I am seeing on your blog http://www.alisina.org articles showing your current belief in God and afterlife. Here I have a few important comments/ observations. I am an agnostic, which I became from a staunch atheist (yet proud Hindu).

I would like to tell you that my mother (A devout Hindu) also had perhaps a near-death experience when I was born. She told me since many years ago about it, how she could see her own body and others concerned near it when her pain became unbearable. She did not see Jesus, or Heaven or Hell or any such thing, nor God. When I saw you giving videos of people who had NDEs, I did not disbelieve it, as I knew it is possible. However, that thus not prove the existence of God, nor of Heaven and Hell, nor of Jesus (or Pure Love) as the Savoir. It merely shows that we can have an Out-of-Body experience when we are close to death. There is also the concept of re-birth (which is there in Hinduism and Buddhism). There are testimonies (as you yourself may have seen) of people describing their past births, and very accurately. A 3 year old telling his past birth of the times of World War 2 with a colleague who was still alive, who corroborated the 3 year old’s saying, and other such stories must be known to you. How are these consistent with claims of Heaven and Hell, when such people seem to have rebirth?

As a third observer (neither Muslim nor Christian) I must say that your current belief and the way you describe it gives some credibility to many false beliefs, which are the core of Islam (and also Christianity). God, Heaven, Hell, Jesus as The Savior etc all make the task of ending Islam more difficult. Though you mentioned clearly that your belief in Jesus as the Savior is not like what other Christians believe it makes it sound a bit like you are a Christian (though I know you are not).

The way to defeat Islam is REASON and RATIONALISM. There are so many facts about this and the other world and God which are unknown to us. As a former atheist (like me) you yourself know many of them- like if God exists, Who created God? How did God come into existence? Why doesn’t He simply show Himself? Why is the world created in a manner whereby many living beings become snacks of others? Most importantly, either one of Islam and Christianity has to be false, if not both (actually, they are both false). Islam claims Jesus was just a human Prophet who escaped crucification while Muhammad was the best and last Prophet, while Christianity claims that Jesus was not just a human Prophet but the SON OF GOD and Muhammad was nobody but a hoax. How can both be true? And yet, the history of mankind is filled with blood for the last 2000 years by these two religions in the name of God. If God exists, why did He allow such insane killings in His name? He would have guided mankind and shown them the truth. If Christianity was true, he would have shown the Muslims that Islam is false and the way is Christianity or both these religions not to kill in His name. Same for some Hindus, who in the past killed humans as sacrifice to God.

But as we know, there is so much unknown. God may exist, with His reasons for the world’s ways beyond human comprehension. This is one major thing which made me an agnostic from an atheist. I pray to God that if He exists, he guide me and mankind. This does not make either Islam or Christianity true of course.

Mankind has to be liberated of its hate ideologies. We have to defeat Islam. I humbly feel that even if you believe in God, Heaven and Hell, anyone as a Savior, it needn’t be mentioned so prominently on your blog. It will reverse the trend of rational thinking in Islam (and also Christianity) and encourage blind faith and hinder our goal. The emphasis now should be on exposing Islam, what the mankind faces in future (slavery, if the likes of ISIS succeed). ISIS and company are correct representatives, they also tell how Islam spread in the past, through force and terror. If ISIS and Boko Haram can kidnap, torture, forcibly convert girls in this 21st century, we can imagine what the history of Islam must be, in the past, medieval times. Muslims need to be liberated from Islam. Please focus on exposing Islam and its falsehood, not on things like NDEs, Heaven and Hell.

Wishing you total success in your mission,

Rajesh, India (Pseudonym)

Here is my reply

Each person’s NDE is different. Your mother’s was not very extensive. Some people only go out of their body and roam around in this world. They don’t go to another dimension nor meet other spirits.

The belief in God and NDE is rational. The denial of them is irrational. One who rejects observable fact only because it does not fit his views is not a rational person.

Heaven and hell are temporary places. Eventually we are all reborn. Heaven despite its peace and beauty is a boring place. That is why we keep coming back because here is where adventure takes place and where we can experience relationships, friendship, fear, challenges, etc. No one makes us come here. We come by our own choice to experience life. So enjoy it while you can because the bliss of heaven will soon be worn out and you’ll want to come back again. As for hell it seems to be a real place and obviously needed for our repentance. Watch a few videos on youtube under Cops Gone Wild to see why hell is necessary and without it justice would be absent. Those videos convinced me that hell is just. What you see on those videos is just the tip of the iceberg, what has been captured on film. There is a lot more evil that is gone unreported.

I don’t think my belief gives credibility to false belief because I don’t hold any false belief. I could say the same about your belief because as far as I know, atheism and materialism are false beliefs, refuted by evidence.

I believe in Jesus. You can call me Christian if you like. I generally don’t call myself that because no Christian accepts me as a real Christian. Jesus is my friend, brother, guide and savior.

The way to defeat Islam is truth. Reason and rationalism are valid as long as they are supported by truth. The moment they deviate from it they are reduced into fanaticism. Reason is a process. The result can be true or false depending on the information available. If you ignore facts you can prove any fallacy through reason.

The other world and God is not unknown to us. It is unknown to you because you refuse to look into the abundant evidence. You refuse to see because you have already made your mind that there is no truth there so why waste your time. The difference between you and I is not that I am smarter. I am sure you must be much smarter than me. But I am curious and you are not. I look into almost everything even when I think they are false. I am blessed for this and it is only this curiosity that has allowed me to attain the truth that most people can never attain. If only you spend a few hours looking at the videos I provided here you will see the truth. http://alisina.org/?p=3869 But you won’t. You can live 100 years and do every imaginable thing during these 100 years but you don’t want to “waste” one hour looking into something that may shatter your conviction. You will never look at those videos, because you are not a seeker of truth. You are convinced that you have found all the truth and hence why bother looking for something you already possess. I always doubt, not other people’s beliefs. That is what everyone does. I doubt and question my own beliefs. That is the quality of the real skeptic. Those materialists who love to call themselves skeptic are not real skeptic. They are believers. Do they ever question the validity of their materialistic belief? No! So they are not skeptic. There is a fascist group in UK that calls itself antifascist. Does that make them antifascist just because they love to call themselves that way?

As for “who created God” is a mute question. Time does not exist outside the matter. No one created God just as no one created us. Our consciousness is fractal of God and is eternal like God. It is our body that is being “created”. It actually has evolved from lower life forms. As you see you can rationally prove anything as long as you ignore certain facts. Your question sounds logical if there were nothing but matter. The nature of God is consciousness, the same nature of that all of us have. Consciousness does not have a beginning or an end and it is not the product of brain activity.

Islam and Christianity cannot be both true. However, the truth of Christianity does not depend on the truth of Islam while such a thing cannot be said the other way round. Islam accepts Christianity. If Christianity is false Islam is automatically false.

“I pray to God that if He exists, he guide me”
If you continue praying God will guide you. I never made such prayer but others did pray for me and I was guided thanks to other people’s prayer. I did not find God. God went out of his way to find me. He left his flock of sheep to find this lost one. He will do that for everyone. If we are sincere God will find us even when we are not searching for Him.

It is funny that you are so convinced of your belief that you think any other belief is irrationality. You can’t be further from truth. I was an atheist and I know perfectly the flaws in atheistic reasoning, just as I know the flaws in Islamic thinking. Reason is a tool of measurement. It is only accurate as your facts. If your facts are flawed so is the outcome of your reasoning. You can be very rational and wrong.

Ali Sina says:

Yes, yes. Love is the ticket to the Kingdom of God. God does not lie. He can’t lie. That is something we can do and God can’t.

Ali Sina says:

Not at all. Good and evil exists as separate entities. But no one is possessed by either. At every moment in our life we choose evil or good. No one is inherently good or evil. We can choose evil in one case and good in the other.

In theses videos you can see evil in its most ugly manifestation. Don’t watch them if you have heart problem, are sensitive, suffer from depression or have any emotional issue. They are troubling for me even though I m fairly healthy emotionally and psychologically. Although I can watch videos on NDE endlessly and they uplift my soul, filling me with joy, I can’t watch the videos of cop brutality. They make me see hell and I don’t like it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzJWJiVcRJM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrsjd27tbvc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOJX0f53ZX4

These cops do devil’s work. They do this for no other reason that they can and know they are above the law. They will never be investigated and if they were their buddies have their back. Cops stand behind cop brutality even if it results in death, because they know one day it will be their turn.

These cops are regular people who go to church, do charity work, help the needy, raise a family are caring parents. Yet, when their unlimited authority is challenged they become sadist beasts.

This is not about cops. Cops are regular folk. It is about all of us. In every moment of our life we can choose good or evil. Let us say you buy something and the change that the cashier gives you is more than what you paid her. You have the choice to tell her she paid you extra or thank her and walk away. Let us say someone abused you. Some times later you get the opportunity to take your sweet revenge. Will you act on it or forgive? In every interaction we have with others we can choose doing evil or good. We are not possessed by either force. We are free to choose.

These cops in these videos, have chosen the path to hell. Little these miserable souls know that everything they do to others will come back to haunt them. Nothing is erased or forgotten.

if you are not a strong person, unable of self restraint don’t tempt yourself. Don’t join police force. Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle than a rich person enter paradise. I tell you it is easier for a rich person to enter paradise than a cop enter paradise. Cops are the very embodiment of betrayal, brutality and evil.

I watched dozens of videos on cops’ brutality. I never saw ever, a cop stopping his or her abusing colleague. On the contrary, they all jump on the hapless victim and join the orgy of violence. Violence is their drug. Women cops are just as evil or sometimes more evil than male cops. And cop brutality has nothing to do with racism, as the leftists claim. Black cops are equally savage and sometimes more. It has nothing to do with country either. Cops are the same everywhere.

If you want to understand how ordinary people are capable of so much evil, read Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment.

Ali Sina says:

We have to understand that God is just. There are things God cannot do. In fact there are thing that we humans can do and God cannot. For example God cannot lie. God cannot deceive. God cannot disown his own, i.e., He cannot be unforgiving. He will forgive anyone who turns to Him irrespective of the amount of sins he has committed. That includes Hitler and Muhammad. If these monsters of history had repented and asked God for his forgiveness before dying, God could not have disowned them. And God cannot be unjust. These thing would created contradiction in God and that is not possible.

A God who would send non-Christians to hell merely because they have not heard of Jesus or did not know much about him is not a just God and that is not possible.

Yes all humans will go to heaven as long as they have love in their heart. This is not my opinion but what I learned from NDE. In fact it is often Jesus who comes to receive the unbelievers in him. When you love others, including animals, ease their pains and bring joy to their lives, you do that to God. God loves anyone who loves Him. The only way we can exercise our love for God is by loving His creatures.

The Tibetan Book of Death describes the passage of the soul from the time he leaves his body until he chooses a new set of parents and is reborn. This story is confirmed by many ND experiencers.

Ali Sina says:

I did not say they don’t help the needy. I said they think they are the only ones saved. Fundamentalist is one who thinks God’s love is exclusive and salvation is in belief. God’s love is universal. It embraces even the sinners and those who reject him including Muslims who are Devil worshipers.

Ali Sina says:

That is because you have a very limited understanding of the other world. It is not like you fundamentalist Christians think. It is in regards to you that Jesus spoke the verses of Matthew 7:22-23

Ali Sina says:

Hi Eric,

Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins are believers. You can’t expect objectivity from believers. Believers are selective in choosing their facts. By being selective in the choice of their facts they can make very rational arguments, look good, while being wrong.

The argument I tried to make in the deceptiveness of reason is that since truth should only be based on facts and since in matters of metaphysics the totality of facts will forever be unknown, any pursuit of truth will lead to dead end. In matters of metaphysics we will never know the truth because we will never know the whole facts.

Is reason the way to arrive at the truth? As Kant argued people make grandiose claims based on pure reason and prove their arguments rationally, when their conclusions are different.

Is perception a good method? Each person’s perception is different. Are then there different truths tailored for each person?

For thousands of years people relied on revelation as the source of truth. But as we can see not only the books regarded as revelations are often contrary to science and logic they are also contradict each other. If the belief should be based on blind faith, as Paul of Tarsus suggested, then how can we know Christianity is true and Islam is not?

So if facts are not known, reason without facts is unreliable, perception is subjective and variable, and revelations are untrustworthy, what else is left?

I am now of the opinion that we will never know the truth as long as we are trapped in this physical world. The only way to know the truth is to go to the other world. But that is not very practical and even helpful. It only helps the person who makes the transition but it is of little help to mankind and our repertoire of knowledge.

NDE is better than other methods but it too has its limitations. Not only we cannot have firsthand experience with NDE and will have to rely on the third parties, there is also the language deficiency. Those who make the two way trip say words are inappropriate to describe their experience. They make the example of trying to describe color to a born blind. I share their view since I too had a sort of out of this worldly experience and I can’t describe it. How can you describe a world that is not subject to time and space yet events have some sequence and there is far and near.

Another way is by intentionally traveling out of our body. This can be done through meditation. However that is not easy. I have been trying off and on and have had little success. The best I got were a few lucid dreams.

It seems the only knowledge that we can attain and of which we can be sure is ignorance. But I am a pathological optimist, I believe there is another way of acquiring knowledge, unknown to humans, and that is through our collective consciousness. This requires a saltation in human evolution the result of a major shift in human consciousness. To attain this we have to abandon all wars, recognize the oneness of humanity, eliminate selfishness and become One People. Maybe I am a dreamer, but I feel we are not far from that day. Perhaps in a century from now the world will be a different place. When humanity attains its organic unity we can collectively tune into spiritual sources and gain so much knowledge that is inconceivable for us to fathom at this moment. This is only a belief. I have no way to prove it and no one should believe it.

Ali Sina says:

“RA – I’m all ears. Please, explain for me how OM and reason are at odds.”

He can’t. But prejudice blinds. He has no understanding of OM and I bet has not read a single page about it.

Ali Sina says:

In my opinion the story of Jesus contains a lot of myths. For example I don’t believe in the virgin birth or Jesus rising from his death and ascending to heaven with his physical body. These are the core beliefs of Christians, without which they think Christianity cannot be true.

I don’t want to change the views of Christians, even though I feel sorry for them to base their faith on myths rather than on the spirit of Jesus. On the other hand no Christian will tolerate my version of Christianity.

However, I found so many truths in the teachings of Jesus that I can easily ignore all the myths. And the more I learn about spiritual truth the more I realize the greatness of what he taught.

I always liked Jesus, even when I did not believe in God. When Christians asked, “if you have so much respect for Jesus why don’t you convert?” I used to tell them, “do you accept an atheist Christian?”

Since I discovered God, I gained a new understanding of Jesus and his teachings. I no longer see them as good but as keys to profound spiritual secrets. I don’t think it is possible for an enlightened man, especially one who had not read any book and was not a scholar of anything but a simple carpenter to come up with such profound spiritual teachings, expressed in such a simple words unless he was connected to the Source. The very fact that he could explain these truths in such a simple language is proof that he understood them perfectly.

Jesus is indeed the Messiah. At least he is for me. I learned so much from him that I have not learned from any philosopher, master or guru.

Ali Sina says:

I knew you grew up as a Christian. I did not know you were a born again Christian. In that case I don’t blame you for being repulsed by Christianity. I don’t think these people have any understanding of the essence of Jesus.

After becoming disillusioned with Islam I studied other faiths, in particular Christianity. I rejected them all for the same reason. It took me testimonies of NDE to discover the real Jesus.

The Indian yogis have found some truth because they found a way to travel out of their body. I read several books of people traveling out of their body and experiencing the spiritual world. Not all of that is good. There are levels and the lower levels seem to be filled with not so pleasant souls. You may also encounter other people who are still alive with a body and like you, roaming the streets.

The only reliable source of truth, in my opinion, is NDE. People who die don’t enter the lower levels but go straight to heaven where they can experience the whole truth.

As for Krishanmurti, I am a fan of him and my views coincide with his. Truth is a pathless land. Those who try to organize it destroy it. This is what has happened to Christianity. That is why I never joined any church. My faith in Jesus is personal. I walk with him alone.

Jesus entered the temple court and drove out those who had converted that temple into a market, overturned the tables of money changers and the benches of dove vendors. He told them that it is written, “’My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers.” What is so wrong in this? He did not hurt anyone. He made is very clear that the house of God is for prayer and not for business. No one was harmed or lost his property. They just packed and went outside the court to set their shop.

You ignore all the wonderful teachings and examples of Jesus such as when he told the accusers of a prostitute that whoever of them is sinless let him throw the first stone. Or, “you have heard that it was said, ‘you shall not commit adultery’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. “ Or, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” And countless other teachings that if followed would transform this world into heaven and are indeed keys to our spiritual growth and salvation. But you focus on what in your opinion was harsh on a bunch of unscrupulous money exchangers and dove sellers. Doves were used for game and gambling. Even though you think what Jesus did in the temple was wrong, I don’t see it that way. He showed authority and courage and the rabbis knew. That is why they did not protest. He did what they failed to do and maybe they rented that court for that purpose.

Interestingly, right after overthrowing the tables of money exchanges, the blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. That part of the scriptures, however, does not seem to be of much importance to note.

A person who knows the truth can recognize it no matter where he finds it. Truth can be found in many places just as gold can be found in many rocks. Yes there is truth in Vedas and there is truth in the Bible. If one fails to see one or the other, it is evidence that he has no understanding of truth. Good wine can be stored in different bottles. Those who are real connoisseurs don’t look at the bottle and don’t care about the labels. Those who can only recognize the good wine by its labels are not connoisseurs.

Ali Sina says:

Eric, I don’t find anything major in your views to disagree with. You may use different words to express yourself, but in essence you seem to say the same. My only concern is that you seem to reject Jesus only because of how he is packaged by Christians. Who said the Christians understand Jesus? My hope is that you ignore the packaging and discover the essence of Jesus. Imagine you are given a chocolate bar. You dislike the packaging and reject it. But only if you can overcome that aversion, throw away the packaging and take a bite you will be hooked forever.

Ali Sina says:

“I asked, “Does the mind exist in time or does time exist in the mind?” To which he answered, “Neither. They both exist in non-local consciousness.”

What that is supposed to mean? It appears to me Deepak Chopra is using fancy words without saying anything.
Time and space are faculties of matter. They cease to exist where matter ceases to exist. Consciousness is immaterial, therefore eternal and timeless. Consciousness exists independent of time and matter. So the “neither” part of his response is the only correct part. What does non-local consciousness mean? Consciousness is non-local. Do we also have a local variety of consciousness?

“Non-local consciousness is the ground of all being. As soon as we assign motive to it, or a gender or a set of likes and dislikes, we make it too small in our mind’s eye and we cheat ourselves.”

Perhaps you mean universal consciousness. In that case I agree. However, we are consciousness too but we have a personality. We have motives, and even present ourselves as male and female. It must be stated that we may change gender in each reincarnation.

One woman who said she was small and felt intimidated and often bullied by bigger men remembered her past lives in her NDE and found out that in her previous life she had been a big guy, very abusive of women. She had to come back this time as a woman to experience how it feels to be the recipient of abuse and bullying.

Ali Sina says:

Although God is a person He actually does not care what we believe. That part is the figment of the imagination of religionists and is only created to divide and to control the gullible masses.

I read stories of people of all faiths and no faith who died and were received by Jesus and greeted by God. I have yet to read a testimony where one was questioned about his or her belief. You are rejecting the false beliefs of religionists. That belief has nothing to do with God or Jesus.

The reason I accept Jesus is not because if I don’t he will bar me from entering paradise. As long as I have love in my heart for other humans Jesus will accept me even if I reject him. I just think it is wise to accept him so when he embraces me I don’t feel too ashamed and embarrassed. But I know that my belief in him is no ticket to paradise and will not earn me any point by itself. All that counts is love. That is what Jesus meant when he said no one will go to my Father except through me. And that seems to be the fact as witnessed by many near death experiencers.

Ali Sina says:

“There is no solid evidence of a Hell and there is no solid evidence of a Messiah.”

What do you mean by solid evidence? You believe in God and in the independence of consciousness. What sort of evidence you have for these beliefs and why the same does not apply as evidence of heaven and hell and Messiah?

Everything has its own measure. The measure of temperature is thermometer. The measure of weight is scale, and the measure of length is meter, etc. Just as you can’t gauge the temperature of something with a measuring tape, you should not expect to measure spiritual realities with material tools of measurement.

The only way we can know about the other word is through those who have been there. For thousands of years this did not happen. People just did not come back, except in very rare cases, such as the one reported by Plato in his Republic. Since such stories were extremely rare, it was reasonable to dismiss them as anecdote. With the advancement of medicine, now millions of people who die are resuscitated and many of them report what they say when they had been clinically dead. We can no longer ignore all these millions of reports as anecdote. That would be sheer stupidity, especially when many of them wake up reporting what they saw and heard when they could not and even telling us what they say in other rooms where their body was not.

It is these people that tell us God is a person, heaven and hell are real and Jesus is the king in heaven.

We can either keep hiding our heads in the sand and make all sorts of excuses or pay heed. At the end it is our own salvation that is at stake.

There are only three probable theories. The stories of NDE are all lies, they are hallucinations, or they are true. When you eliminate the first two as impossible the last becomes true by default, no matter how strange and improbable.

Ali Sina says:

Dear Eric

The essence of man is consciousness. That is also the essence of animals and all living beings. In fact the essence of every atom is consciousness. What is the origin of consciousness? That source is God. Just as all molecules of water on Earth, whether in the sky, in the mountains, under the earth, in the rivers, inside the living organism, whether in the form of gas, liquid or solid come from the ocean so all consciousness in the universe come from God. And just as the essence of all waters is the same, so is the essence of consciousness in all its manifestation.

All sentient beings are created in the image of God, because God’s consciousness is present in all life forms. If we are made in the semblance of God, it follows that God is like us. There is no difference between God and his creation. We are all fractals of God, made of the same essence, with the same faculties and powers.

Those who say the essence of God is unknowable speak of themselves. It is they who don’t know God. What is unknowable is the size of God, but its essence is known, because it is in all of us. It is like saying the essence of the ocean is unknowable. That is an absurd statement. The essence of ocean is water and that essence is in us. We all know what water is. It is what gives us life. What we can say is that we don’t know the size and the depth of the ocean. It is not difficult to know God. God is in all of us. We just can’t know how big is He.

God is a person. I don’t mean a human. Humans are a species of animal. I am talking about our core identity. This identity is the same identity of God. It is also same as in other animals.

Of course God transcends space and time. But we also transcend space and time. Space and time are faculties of atoms and anything larger. Particles transcend space and time. Our consciousness is of different substance. It is of the same substance of God. We are eternal beings, like God. Time and space does not apply to our consciousness.

Many Christians are confused about Jesus and what he was about. Don’t let their confusion hinder you from seeing his truth. These people call me heretic. I never subscribed to their dogma in the first place. I never agreed with how they interpret Christianity. So that title does not apply to me. God does not want us to believe in absurdities, irrational dogmas and superstitions. Any Christian who has based his faith in these has no understanding of Christ. God is the maker of reason. God can’t do irrational things. Therefor we should not put our faith on irrational things.

God is indeed someone. You can have a relationship with Him on a very personal level.

What I say is based on the stories of NDE. Many of whom actually met God, talked with Him and felt His love penetrating their being. Some say they merged into God. How can that be possible if God were of a different essence? Some say God embraced them, hugged them like a loving father. He is a real being.

For many years i kept writing God is a non-being. You can find my old articles still online. http://alisina.org/?p=1359
I no longer hold such beliefs.

Ali Sina says:

A god that is infinite must also have infinite power. There should be nothing that he could not do. But the absurdity of this claim is known even to children. I was in the fourth grade when kids in my class started posing the question, can God create a stone as big that He can’t lift. You can’t answer this question either way.
Now let me put it in another way. 2 +2 is equal 4. Can God change the outcome to 5 or to any other number? Of course not! That would be illogical and God cannot do illogical things. There lies the proof that even God has limitations. God can’t do illogical things, just as He can’t do evil. But evil exists. If evil exists then God is not infinite.

Ali Sina says:

Dear Mark,
In this article I posted a dozen of such cases. http://alisina.org/?p=3869

But this is only a token. There are plenty of such cases. Note that I chose these videos because the people having NDE came back with verifiable information that they could not possibly have in any other way than going out of their body.
