The NDE and Satan

Kevin Williams' research conclusions



The concept of an evil entity or entities who are trying to cause people to do bad things is a concept that is probably as old as human history.

Perhaps it began when someone committed a wrong against someone and needed a scapegoat - someone to blame their sins on. In modern times, the popular phrase used to be, "The Devil made me do it."

Some people picture a Devil with horns and a pitchfork. Others describe him as a goat with hooves.

Some people describe the Devil as a force, rather than a being, who can be everywhere at the same time to tempt people.

The overwhelming consensus in NDE research is that Satan does not exist - at least - not the Satan described literally in the Bible. Nor does evil exist - only mistakes for which we are allowed to make for the purpose of instruction.

Evil Does Not Exist - Only Stupidity

Some beliefs hold to a dualistic system of good versus evil. It is the belief that there is only one force of goodness (God) and only one force of badness (Satan). In between are humans who are little more than pawns on a big chessboard for these two equally opposing forces to battle over. Throughout history, this belief system has been held by millions and millions of people. But NDE testimonies are giving us much better insights into whether such theological and philosophical concepts are actually valid. NDE testimonies offer us a much more realistic and logical solution to the classical paradox concerning "the problem of evil." What the religious traditions of the world perceive to be "sins," NDE testimonies reveal to be "mistakes" which God allows humans to make for the purposes of their higher education and spiritual evolution. What these religious traditions perceive to be "evil," NDE testimonies reveal to be "ignorance." What humans perceive as "the devil made me do it," NDE testimony reveals to be "our own ego and negative thought process." The following NDE insights reveal the true nature of human failings.

Howard Storm was given the following insights from beings of light after his life review when he was fearful of returning to Earth life and afraid he would make mistakes again: Mistakes are an acceptable part of being human. We are here to make all the mistakes we want because it is through our mistakes that we learn. As long as we try to do what we know to be right, we will be on the right path. If we make a mistake, we should fully recognize it as a mistake, then put it behind us and simply try not to make the same mistake again. The important thing is to try our best, keep our standards of goodness and truth, and not compromise them to win people's approval. God loves us just the way we are, mistakes and all. When we make a mistake, we should ask for forgiveness. After that, it would be an insult if we don't accept that we are forgiven. We shouldn't continue going around with a sense of guilt, and we should try not to repeat our mistakes. We should learn from our mistakes. God wants us to do what we want to do. That means making choices - and there isn't necessarily any right choice. There are a spectrum of possibilities, and we should make the best choice from those possibilities. If we do that, we will receive help from the Other Side. (Rev. Howard Storm)

There really is no sin as it is known in the world. The only thing that has any meaning in the spirit world is what we think. The very core of our being is perfect love and light. (Jayne Smith)

There is no evil in any human soul. It is the lack of love that distorts people. We are designed by God to self-correct, just like the rest of the universe. No one is lost because everyone is already saved. (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)

The more we exercise our individual consciousness and free will for self-interest, self-gratification, self-centeredness, and self-consciousness, the more we heightened our sense of self apart from the Whole. This separation of self from the Whole is what people call "sin". (Edgar Cayce)

The greatest enemy we can face is ourselves. (George Anderson)

Hell refers to levels of negative thought-forms that reside in close proximity to the Earth realm. It is where we go to work out, or remain within, our hang-ups, addictions, fears, guilt, angers, rage, regrets, self-pity, arrogance, or whatever else blocks us from the power of our own light. We stay in hell (and there are many divisions to this vibratory level) for however long best serves our development. There is no condemnation here, only the outworking of our own misjudgments, mistakes, misalignments, and misappropriations - what some people call "sin". (Dr. PMH Atwater)

Negative thought vibrations out of ignorance. High vibrations indicate love and spiritual development, while low vibrations indicate debasement and evil." (Arthur Yensen)

Evil and the

Lance Armstrong [blue and yellow top] climbing Chandlers Hill Road, Adelaide during Stage 3 of Tour Down Under.
Armstrong has this week returned from retirement to professional racing.
This is his third day back. As at the time of writing this, todays race has not yet finished.

Racing is over six stages in and around Adelaide, South Australia.
Adelaide a small, quiet city of around 1 million surrounded by hills to the south and east and ocean to the west.
The area is known for the nearby Barossa Valley, Australia'a premier wine region.

Enticing Armstrong to compete in this event, rather than in the US or Europe, as his comeback race has been a major coup for South Australia, a state largely unknown outside of Australia.
Media interest in this race has been extensive due to the nature of his comeback and also for the implications for his Tour de France ride.

Before Stage 4 of the Tour Down Under, tomorrow 23 January 2009, the public has the opportunity to ride the same course as the professionals.
This ride of 155km [97 miles] is quite undulating, of note is a series of hills as the riders leave the city plus the climb of Mengler's Hill a "hard core" incline about 30 km from the end.
7100 riders of various abilities are competing in the event over a choice of three distances.
Either 32km, 97km or full distance 155km.
I will be competing, attempting the full distance.
This will be 3 times longer than any ride I had done, prior to commencing training.
Twice as long as any ride I have done during my training, started at New Years Day.
Weather is looking good 28C [83F].
A week ago the long range forecast was for 36C [97F] thankfully a cool change is due in.
Might start out into the breeze but it should swing around and be a nice tailwind towards the second half of ride.

Will be on a mountain bike, rather than a road bike that most will be using.
Expecting ride to take about 8 or 9 hours, including climbing hills and short breaks for drink and food.

Would like to finish before we are caught by the professionals but unlikely being on the MTB.
Will see how we go.

UPDATE 24 JAN 2009

The ride [for the public] was yesterday.
Completed the ride in full, a total 161.7km [100.4miles].
Took 7 and a half hours, finished at the back of the pack.
We were caught by the professionals three hundred metres short of the Top of Mengler's HIll. Was a great place to actually watch the leaders and peleton and of course Armstrong again.
He was about 1metre [3feet] away from where I was standing.

Despite being at the back of the pack, pleased with result given that:
- We did it all, no shortcuts.
- We started at the back of the pack.
- Had a delay of half an hour as the professionals and the Tour entourage went past.
- Delayed another hour when one of our team got lost and had to do an extra 20 km [12miles] to get back to our position.
- Made our stops for drink and food proper stops not rushed.
- Riding a Mountain Bike.

I never fully appreciated the difference in efficiency between a road bike and a mountain bike. The weight comparison between the two styles of bikes is vast as is the gearing, another important factor.
Of the thousands who started where I did, I only saw, at a guess, 10 other mountain bikes, that says a lot.

I found road bikes could roll down a hill much faster than I could pedal flat out in top gear.
I think the ability to make up three hours on a road bike to be quite feasible.
All that aside, was a great day and I was still in front of those who didn't do the full distance or pulled out along the way.
And even further in front of those who didn't start.

Physically feeling pretty good this morning, thighs and calves a little sore but not really too bad. Will do some good stretching this morning and might go for a light ride around the local streets to assist recovery.

Will certainly do it again next year, on a road bike :-)
