There’s no such thing as “the way it always is.”

 QUESTION

“Why do criminals experience beautiful near-death experiences?  Their souls should have a low vibration.  Why do they not experience hell?  This is unfair that good people have hellish experiences.  The theory with the soul vibration cannot be right?  This injustice makes me very afraid.  Please help me to understand.”......Kristin

ANSWER

Don’t fret about this.  Consistently, I find that people are looking for “the way it always is.”  There’s no such thing.  People’s story will vary - according to their sense of culture and their ability to describe what’s going on.  For instance, in Viet Nam, invariably children have scary or stern NDEs, and are judged by animals in a court-like setting.  They can also tell stories about being met by Yama Toots - beings who work for Lord Yama, the head of the Underworld.  Yama Toots can be very scary and threatening, but they can also be friendly.  

There are just as many violent souls who experience a hellish scenario as those who do not.  Remember, the near-death experience opens wide a broader reality than what we experience on earth in our daily living.  It often opens up the life of the soul, above and beyond what we know or see as the human being in front of us.  The truth of their life now, what caused what, what was the real reason behind whatever happened, reasons beyond our knowing - all of this - everything about a person on the soul level can be opened.  No, that doesn’t happen to everyone.  But it does happen to the majority.  Revealed is what that person really went through in life, the choices made or not made, whatever pain or joy resulted, what was and is the real truth behind what seems to be important.

Yes, sometimes near-death scenarios can seem unfair and unjust.  But when you find out the whole story, before and after, opinions change.  Don’t be too quick to judge until you know the whole story, the whole person.  Those that really deserve a hellish environment get it, and they stay there until they “wake up.”  But even those who seem to be saints, or at least very loving people, can wind up in hellish environments.  I found this to be true again and again in my work.  Don’t be too quick to pass judgment until you know more.  People are not always as they seem.

There is always something “more” or “greater.”  Let the higher orders pass judgment as needed.  We are enjoined to forgive, or at least affirm what is truly right for everyone’s highest good be what happens.  What we think is true, may not be.  The more we find out about different people’s near-death experiences, the more we come to realize that a Force greater than we can imagine does indeed exist.
