Higher Self-Matrix

“A Light shone; I turned toward it, and was aware of its similarity to
what others have described in near-death experiences. It was magnificent
and tangible, alluring. I wanted to go towards that Light like I might
want to go into my Mother's or Father's arms.  As I moved towards
the Light, I knew that if I went into the Light, I would be dead. So I
said, "Please wait. I would like to talk to you before I go." The
entire experience halted. I discovered that I was in control of the
entire experience. My request was honored. I had conversations with the
Light. That's the best way I can describe it.  The Light changed into
different figures, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mandalas, archetypal
images and signs.  I asked in a kind of telepathy, "What is going on here?"

The information transmitted was that our beliefs shape the kind
of feedback we receive: If you are a Buddhist or Catholic or
Fundamentalist, you get a feedback loop of your own images. I became
aware of a Higher Self-matrix, a conduit to the Source. We all have a
Higher Self or an Over Soul part of our being, a conduit. All Higher
Selves are connected as One being. All humans are connected as One
being. We are literally the same being. It was the most beautiful thing
I have ever seen. It was like all the love you've ever wanted, and it
was the kind of love that cures, heals, regenerates.” – Mellen-Thomas Benedict
