The uncertainty of our time on this Earth is an unyielding reality, a reminder that our lives are but a brief and flickering candle in the winds. Every breath is a countdown, every moment a testament to the transience of our ephemeral vigor. This impermanence casts a somber light on our inner world, as we face the unknown span of time that remains, and the inevitability of our demise. And then, what will await us? Is death the end of all existence, or a passage to a new realm of beauty and wonder? What becomes of us when our corporal forms return to the earth, their essence dissolving into the dust of time?
Imagine 100 billion years from now – a mere blink in cosmic time, yet an eternity beyond our fragile scope. The Sun will have long collapsed into a white dwarf’s husk; Earth, if not swallowed by stellar decay, will drift as a barren rock, its continents eroded into primordial particles, their histories lost to the void. What trace of humanity lingers then? Will the flicker of self-awareness – our capacity to ponder beauty, grief, or purpose – survive the dissolution of synapses and sinew? Or will consciousness disperse into entropy’s abyss, its fleeting warmth lost to the universe’s cold arithmetic?
Perhaps the answers we seek are revealed in the threshold between life and death itself? Across cultures and centuries, near-death experiences (NDEs) – those transient crossings into the luminous unknown – have offered tantalizing hints of an existence unbound by flesh. Are these visions mere neurological epiphenomena, the brain’s final flares as synaptic storms rage in the void of oxygen? Or do they reveal a deeper architecture of consciousness, one that transcends the biological constraints of our skulls? Does their promise of an afterlife offer a tangible hope, a shining light to guide us through the darkness, or is it a comforting illusion, a palliative to ease the sting of mortality?
The near-death experience itself typically involves a temporary separation from the physical body, during which the sojourner encounters an intensely beautiful, vibrant, and peaceful realm, a sphere that is at once familiar and yet utterly beyond the reach of mortal comprehension. In these moments of heightened awareness, as the individual floats outside of the body, the sensations can be so overwhelming, so infused with awe and wonder, that words struggle to capture their essence, leaving the person to grapple with the ineffable.
Those who have undergone NDEs often describe their experiences as a deeply moving encounter that eclipses anything they had previously known or felt. An intense, dazzling light permeates their surroundings, filling every aspect of their being with joy and tranquility. Colors appear more vivid and saturated than in everyday life. Majestic, resplendent beings, often referred to as “angels,” radiate pure, unconditional love and assurance, their presence a balm to the soul.
These celestial beings possess superhuman intelligence, speed, and agility, and seem to embody a profound sense of compassion and understanding. As they guide souls through the transition, they remind them that life is eternal and that death is merely a doorway to a new realm. In some NDEs, individuals even report encounters with a warm and endearing being they refer to as “God,” a revelation that significantly changes their perception of the Divine.
The aftermath of an NDE can be transformative, with many people expressing a strong desire to return to the paradise they experienced. Some writers and visitors have confessed to feel disappointed, even melancholic, that they could not immediately leave their earthly existence behind and take up residence in this heavenly realm, a place that has captivated their hearts and imaginations.
Those who have returned from the other side are often convinced that they have glimpsed a land of sublime beauty and love, akin to the Garden of Eden, one that exceeds the grasp of faith or belief. Having directly experienced paradise with their own senses, they are no longer bound by the fear of death, knowing that when the end comes, all will be well. At its core, their journey reveals that death is not a termination, but a gateway to a sphere of peace and serenity.
The Abyssal Question: Simulation or Salvation?
Yet here lies the abyssal question: What if this luminous threshold is not salvation, but a simulation – a masterpiece of cosmic theater designed to pacify the soul’s terror of oblivion?
Imagine an observer who transcends speculation entirely – a being who perceives the subtle planes not as metaphysical abstraction, but as tangible realms, their contours mapped with the clinical precision of a cartographer charting tectonic shifts. For decades, this witness has observed the individual transitions of thousands of souls, their post-mortem destinies dissected with the detached rigor of a biologist tracing mitosis. So routine has this observation become that the afterlife’s grandeur – the luminous tunnels, the celestial cities – seems like a cosmic rerun watched over morning coffee. While near-death researchers debate fragments of evidence, this witness sees – in vivid detail – mankind’s spiritual certainties dissolve into illusion.
The spark for our book series is kindled by the extraordinary life of Angelus Benedictus, a modern Seer whose decades-long spiritual process began with encounters that mirrored the archetypal angels of myth – resplendent wings, radiant light, celestial authority. Yet as his discernment deepened, so too did his disillusionment. These spirits, far from emissaries of grace, revealed themselves as master deceivers: charismatic puppeteers weaving radiance to obscure a predatory intent. Their beauty, Angelus discovered, was a calculated facade; their light, a lure. Behind the shimmer pulsed a corrosive energy, draining vitality from the unguarded and preying on humanity’s yearning for transcendence.
While NDEs may contain fragments of truth, the celestial phenomena they expose are typically shrouded in deception, concealing a reality far more intricate – and potentially perilous – than the blissful paradises described. When a Seer with unclouded spiritual discernment pierces the veil, they uncover a disturbing truth: these adventures are not divine revelations but cunningly crafted illusions, orchestrated by entities of sophisticated intelligence. The resplendent spheres encountered in NDEs are tangible, yet they are pale imitations – a simulacrum of the Divine – forged by beings exploiting humanity’s deepest fears and desires. Such spirits are virtuosos of deception, fabricating illusions so deceptively vivid that even the most discerning seekers may mistake them for genuine spiritual awakening.
Beyond Illusion: Toward a New Ontology of Death and Reincarnation
Angelus Benedictus’s life of contemplative practice was rooted in an intimate communion with the Divine, which birthed sublime experiences of Supreme Bliss and the radiant presence of an inner “Soul Sun” – a manifestation of awakened consciousness. This inner Development granted him the fortitude, patience, and insight to traverse the subtle realms with unparalleled depth and nuance. As Parental Light revealed more to him, he became increasingly aware that humanity’s understanding of Heaven was profoundly distorted. Countless spiritual teachers, he realized, were unwittingly propagating falsehoods, blind to the perils of the unseen world, a realm of “supernatural” forces that, far from embodying Divine truth, constituted a separate ontological domain entirely divorced from True Heaven.
Hundreds of volumes crowd the shelves on near-death experiences, chronicling accounts of those who claim to have brushed the threshold of death: out-of-body journeys, vibrant landscapes, encounters with celestial beings. These narratives, bolstered by scientific studies, tearful testimonials, and the innocence of children’s stories, weave a tapestry of wonder that promises definitive proof of post-mortem existence. Yet beneath this beguiling veneer lies a maze of self-deception. Much of what is marketed as evidence reflects not Divine Truth, but the psyche’s desperate quest for solace – a psychological reflex to soften mortality’s dread.
When researchers like Pim van Lommel document cardiac arrest survivors recounting identical “heavens,” or Bruce Greyson catalogs tales of “universal love,” they inadvertently codify a dangerous misinterpretation. These accounts, far from reflecting Divine realms, are typically transmissions from entities antithetical to the Creator of life. The modern obsession with NDEs – and the pervasive myth that “all will be well” – has enabled subtle-plane operators to achieve their aim: death is reduced to a simplistic narrative of comfort, stripped of its existential weight. This oversimplification has rendered naive souls vulnerable to posthumous entrapment, their consciousness ensnared by a reality far more labyrinthine than the sanitized paradises described in NDE literature.
Angelus Benedictus held an unshakable conviction: humanity’s spiritual evolution hinged on distinguishing the illusory astral-mental realm from True Paradise, a state of unmediated Union with the Divine. His analysis is anchored by two revolutionary frameworks: “Soul & soul” and “Reincarnation Reimagined.” These concepts reject both dogmatic religion and New Age sentimentality, offering an authentic lens through which to explore life, death, and beyond.
Positioned as a counterpoint to the uncritical celebration of near-death experiences, our book series does not merely “swim against the tide” – it may eventually redirect the current. By exposing the mechanics of spiritual deception, it equips readers to discern the difference between authentic metaphysical insight and manipulative artifice. As a pioneering research, it bridges the gap between esoteric study and empirical rigor, offering a curriculum for academics, spiritual seekers, and philosophers alike. Its revelations require not passive consumption, but active engagement: in classrooms, seminaries, and the solitary crucible of personal transformation. Read more.
Ghostianity: the Trojan Horses of Religion
Our Divinization Rediscovered series is a multidisciplinary exploration of consciousness and spirituality, challenging readers to grapple with the central question: What does it mean to become Divine in a universe that is programmed to oppose Divinity?
The Divine Play unfolding on Planet Earth involves a profound subtle-plane influence that continually entices human souls to become entangled in their own mental patterns, often forging a formidable mind prison that persists even beyond the veil of death. Beneath their seemingly innocuous surface, cultural teachings serve as insidious Trojan horses, harboring hidden “ghost-makers” that quietly infiltrate the human psyche. While religion can be a powerful source of inspiration, offering stability and a moral compass, it can also have a severely negative impact on the afterlife, leading to immense suffering.
Humanity’s ultimate aspiration is to embody the Divine qualities of Love, Sweetness, Serenity, and to experience the sublime Bliss that radiates from our Soul Parents. Yet, the question remains: how do we attain this exalted state of being? The journey begins with self-observation and self-reflection, where we must courageously confront and disentangle ourselves from the mental constructs that obscure and stifle the radiant sparks of our precious souls. Unless we can accept disillusionment and separate from our subpersonalities, these drivers of our ego will inevitably drain and dominate the resplendent Light of God, suppressing our innate Divinity.
The unexamined convictions of childhood often solidify into rigid dogma, casting a long shadow of negative consequences. Every day, individuals succumb to the pitfalls of unquestioning adherence, slipping effortlessly into a quagmire of dualistic, superstitious, and outwardly focused religiosity. It is no exaggeration to suggest that humanity is deeply entrenched in a phenomenon that can be aptly termed “Ghostianity” – a pervasive belief system that is fundamentally shaped by entities from the subtle plane, operating with stealthy precision beneath the threshold of conscious awareness.
What is the nature of consciousness, and where can we discover the wellspring of true wisdom that illuminates our world and guides our journey? Is God a distant and unreachable entity, or an intimate and loving Presence that dwells within the depths of our being? How do we discern between the allure of an outer mental heaven, with its fleeting promises of happiness and fulfillment, and the authentic splendor of the Real Place? What is the deeper meaning and significance of karma, reincarnation, and hell in the vast tapestry of human existence? Why is the difference between humans and animals so fragile? These questions, and many more, are the threads that weave together the narrative of our spiritual quest.
