Near Death Experiences
There is some basic information about religion in near death experiences. They show that the purpose of material life is to make personal improvements of a vague type. The word sin is not generally used, but from Christ's teaching it is clear that the purpose of material life is to overcome sin. People are sent back from their spiritual experiences, or want to go back to their material lives, because more improvement is needed. Material life is where personal improvements are made.
For an overview, the word sin says a lot. The persons who come back from the spirit world do not entirely grasp what sin is. They know that love is what they are supposed to produce, but they don't know how to produce it.
So when people come back from their NDEs, and they try to make some improvements in their lives and teach others to, it doesn't seem to occur to them that Christ already taught that subject. If they do realize it, they don't quite teach the same subject. Of course, they couldn't. Christ was crucified for producing moral truth.
It's not that anyone could do the same thing as Christ, it's a question of awareness. A near death experience is not the degree of awareness that Christ, and to some extent other prophets, acquire by spending several universes of time over there instead of a few minutes.
When the whole truth is understood, the message is pretty hard to convey or follow. It is poverty that teaches morality, not preaching. What then do affluent persons do? I would not suggest that they can create their own poverty. What they really need to do is become truth seekers.
Learn from the tools that are available. Learn that satan taught nihilism as a virtue, but it is not a virtue. The reason why I say that is because I do not find truth seekers. I find that the affluent society has learned to disconnect from truth, as if nihilism were a virtue. They do not answer my questions or find out what I have to say. Even if my material were of no value, finding out would be necessary, and they don't want to find out. Of course, it is not my errors and ignorance that turn them off, it is the truth. There is no amount of lust for errors and ignorance demonstrated on the internet. But there seems to be a universal rejection of xxx.
What xxx means is that no one admits they hate truth. They just disagree as to what truth is. Well guess what, you don't find truth by picking and choosing your favorite realities. You only find truth by evaluating everything, accounting for everything, and searching out anything that might have been missed. That isn't the result that I get.
