Going through the tunnel during a 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 a 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 another, higher wavelength. 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)
