Going through the tunnel during an NDE means traveling
through the various afterlife realms. One of the
realms that you can see on either side of the tunnel,
is an outline of houses, walls, trees, etc., but
everything is motionless. As you travel further
up the tunnel, you can see more light and movement
in what appear to be normal cities and towns. (Edgar
Cayce)
(Webmaster's
note: Cayce didn't mention it, but
the motionless realm he saw, I believe, is the physical
realm. If it is, then it shows how time stands still
in the physical realm when entering the spirit realm.)
"An expansion of consciousness can be achieved through
meditation. With this expansion comes the realization
that we are in eternity now." (Edgar
Cayce)
"There is no time and space in the spiritual world.
If one is in the highest realms, love reigns. And
where there is love, there is happiness. Where there
is happiness, there is no awareness of time. Therefore,
there is no time as we know it there. In the
lower realms, because people are very unhappy, time
seems to drag forever. There is space, but it is
a reflection of the qualities of the people who
live there. Where love reigns, there is no distance
between people." (Nora
Spurgin)
"The occupants in outer darkness are there for various
lengths of time. It is peculiar to discuss length
of residence by a measure which does not exist in
that dimension. For most of us it is very difficult
to relate to a timeless condition, so the use of
finite terms helps us to better understand. Some
residents feel they have been in outer darkness
for weeks or months, others for eons. No doubt all
are correct in their assessment of length of time
spent in this realm. In a reality of pain and torment,
even a moment can seem like an eternity and there
is no way to judge length of stay until after one
has long departed. Some souls have occupied
outer darkness for what we would measure as hundreds,
even thousands of years. But it is more likely that
most stay for a considerably shorter period. It
is not possible for souls to be forever confined
to outer darkness, since in such a case there would
be no hope of redemption." (Harvey
Green)
"In the void during an NDE, there is a profound
stillness, beyond all silence. You can see or perceive
FOREVER, beyond Infinity, in pre-creation, before
the Big Bang, in the Eye of Creation. It is like
toughing the Face of God and being at one with Absolute
Life and Consciousness. You can experience all of
creation generating itself. It is without beginning
and without end. You realize the Big Bang is
only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating
Universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only
images that even come close in human terms would
be those created by supercomputers using fractal
geometry equations. You learn that you are an immortal
being and a part of a natural living system that
recycles itself endlessly." (Mellen-Thomas
Benedict)
"Time and space exists only in the physical realm.
When you leave the physical realm, you leave such
constraints. Existence there is never ending and
ongoing, forever and ever eternal. The only true
movement is without the distortion of time and space.
It is expansion and contraction, as if the existence
that exists were capable of breathing. What
appears as a progression, a time-line of starts
and stops and ever-changing variations, is but an
overleaf, an illusion, that helps us to focus on
whatever realm we currently inhabit so that we will
accomplish what we set out to do (or at least have
an opportunity to), and not be distracted by The
Truth that under-girds reality. Using radio as an
analogy, dying to this physical realm and entering
a spirit realm is comparable to having lived all
your life at a certain radio frequency when all
of a sudden someone or something comes along and
flips the dial. That flip
shifts you to different frequency. The original
frequency where you once existed is still there.
It did not change. Everything is still just the
same as it was. Only you changed, only you speeded
up to allow entry into the next radio frequency
on the dial. You then fit into your particular spot
on the dial by your speed of vibration. You cannot
coexist forever where you do not belong. (P.M.H.
Atwater)
"When you die, you enter eternity. It feels like
you were always there, and you will always be there.
You realize that existence on earth is only just
a brief instant." (Dr.
Kenneth Ring)
"After death, you can literally travel at the speed
of light and see all of the people on earth simultaneously
in one moment. You can see people in all manner
of activity instantaneously. You can see people
praying in mosques and temples, synagogues, and
churches. You can see people individually expressing
their own silent prayers. You can see indigenous
tribes in all different parts of the world drumming
and chanting. You can see God sending multitudes
of angels to earth to assist in answering all of
the countless, millions of prayers being offered
up at that single moment." (Dr.
Liz Dale)
"When you die, everything stops and you enter eternity.
It is like finally getting to the nanosecond, where
time stops. Like a watch, our body stops at that
time. Yet our spirit and consciousness continue
to live on in a dimension beyond sequential time.
We go beyond nanoseconds into a space-time measurement
we cannot know here on earth. It is the eternal
now where past, present, and future are all merged
into one. Eternity is the present, the now that
never ends." (Dr.
Gerard Landry)
"After death, you can go through the end of time
all the way back through the beginning of time,
then back into the present time where you started.
It lasted forever, and was over in an instant. It
is a paradox." (Dee
Rohe)
"After death, you can view one afterlife realm as
if it was first grade. People stay there until they
were ready to go to the next afterlife realm. This
is the eternal progression, from one realm to the
next." (Cecil)
"The sense of timelessness after death makes you
feel unaware of how long things last, but it can
feel like a long time - maybe days or maybe weeks."
(Rev.
Howard Storm)
"Everything in the spirit realm is kept in place
by an all pervading Master-Vibration which prevents
aging. Things don't get dirty or wear out. Everything
looks so bright and new. You can then understand
how heaven is eternal." (Arthur
Yensen)
"In the spirit realm, travel takes no time at all.
Any experience can seem like eons. But that same
experience also seems like seconds." (Dr.
George Ritchie)
"In the spirit realm, It can take eons of time as
we understand it before some people go into the
light. It depends on the person. You're in control.
You hold the reins. Those who've come through those
darker levels have said that they've had to face
themselves and realize that if they don't shape
up, in other words, learn more about themselves,
they're not getting anywhere." (George
Anderson)
"Space and time are illusions that hold us to this
physical realm. In the spirit realm, all is present
simultaneously." (Beverly
Brodsky)
"After death, each person shapes their own eternity
to correspond with their real inner nature. Some
are taught by their friends about the state of eternal
life." (Emanuel
Swedenborg)
"One experience in the spirit realm can feel like
forever. Time no longer seems to apply and seems
irrelevant. Time is only relevant when it is relative
to the normal orderly sequential aspects of life.
The experience can feel like a moment and an eternity.
You realize that you are eternal and indestructible.
You realize that you have always been, that you
always will be, and there was no way you could ever
be lost. It is impossible to fall into a crack in
the universe somewhere and never be heard from again.
You are utterly safe and always have been forever
and ever." (Jayne
Smith)
"Life is about having experiences forever and ever
and ever. As we bring this awareness permanently
into our consciousness, our connection with God
will be there and not somewhere in our unconscious.
We will be consciously aware of who we are all the
time." (Jayne
Smith)
"The experience lasted for hours or eons and now
it seems that eons passed in only moments." (Virginia
Rivers)
"We wandered in this beautiful place for what seemed
an eternity." (Karen
Schaeffer)
"The experience was a few seconds, but it seemed
like an eternity." (Rev.
Kenneth Hagin)
"In the spirit realm, time and space becomes nothing
more than attenuated wisps of human invention. Both
were webs of light created in my consciousness."
(Lynnclaire
Dennis)
"The human spirit is eternal and we are not alone
in the cosmic scheme of things." (Brad
Steiger)
"In the spirit realm, people don't talk about time.
They talk about opportunity. People don't think
about time because it is not measured off in days
and nights and months and years." (Margaret
Tweddell)
"Our souls are immortal and eternal." (Sandra
Rogers)
"Many events of eternity can pass through you. You
can bathe in them and become them. They can be infused
into your soul." (RaNelle
Wallace)
"We are intricately connected to all that exists
throughout eternity." (Jan
Price)
"On the other side, one event follows another just
like on earth. But looking at it another way, time
on the other side doesn't pass at all because there
is not enough change to make the passage of time
evident. From another viewpoint, time in the afterlife
stands still because it is always now. The past
and future are of equal length because there never
was a beginning and never can be an end. This flexibility
of time on the other side can be compared to the
earth experience when a person is enjoying themselves
and time just seems to fly by. But another person
having the same experience but who is absolutely
miserable, time can seem to last forever. As Einstein
discovered, time is a factor that is relative to
a person's own experience." (Kevin
Williams)
"I glanced at my wrist to note the time, since there
was no sun in the sky. My wrist had no watch on
it, nor was there any telltale evidence of a watchband
... A strange sense of timelessness gripped me.
It was simply awesome! ... We exist here in that
timelessness, the eternity of God, the kind of life
that does not perish! It is our gift of love, eternal
life!" (Dr.
Richard Eby)
"There is an overall awareness of the earth's future
as it will be in six weeks, six months, or perhaps
two years ahead. It is like being in an airplane
looking down, and you can get a prevision of what
is going to happen, due to being able to see things
in broader perspective. However, there is not a
complete vision of the entire future of earth. But
there are souls in the spirit realm who, through
much tribulation and service, have been permitted
to see the earth's future in a more extended way."
(Margaret
Tweddell)
"Time is not linear. Energy moves in a continuum
and if we would consider the past as a time passed
we would release pain from the body. We get stuck
because we stay in the past, instead of realizing
that we have passed!" (Lynnclaire
Dennis)
