1. A
Date With Destiny
I
laid down to use the stability of the Earth in
an effort to maintain a hold on reality. I knew
I had to do that in order to be able to come
back down.
The next
thing I knew I was riding in my friend's car. I
thought we went up north, crossed the Mackinaw
Bridge and came back again. We rode past my
childhood home and I saw my parents sitting on
the porch.
I felt
drawn to the trees. I could see and feel their
strength. I saw their roots going deep into the
ground. I mean I actually saw the tree roots
physically reaching below the ground. I told my
friends about the car ride after the experience
and they told me that the only place I went was
to the chair they carried me to after I passed
out on the porch.
I did
wake up in the chair my friends say they put me
in a bit later. When I woke up I could feel the
organs in my body working, each one separately
as well as all together. I could not see my
friends anywhere. I could see in all the rooms
of the house at the same time. The stereo was
playing the Doors 'Absolutely Live' album,
except the volume was way too loud for me. Since
I did not see any of my friends around I got up
and tried to turn the music down, but could not.
No matter what I did the music kept playing. I
knew the stereo too. I had a real problem with
the noise. It was tearing at me and I could not
figure out why nor could I adjust the volume.
I called
out to my friends and nobody came. I tried to
unplug the stereo but that did not work either.
Every time I tried to touch the cord to unplug
it I could not grasp it. It just kept on playing
'LA Woman' and the sound rattled my very being.
I ran
all over the house calling for my friends,
yelling repeatedly that the music was too loud
but I was not heard. I pleaded for the music to
be turned down. I tried to go outside but I
could not feel the doorknob. I could see the
daylight outside but could not go outside. I
ended up hiding in the bathroom in an
unsuccessful attempt to escape the noise. I
looked in the mirror and could not see myself.
That frightened me greatly.
I went
back into the family room and saw my body
sitting in the chair. It looked like I was
sleeping. I wondered how I could be looking at
myself. I got a bit scared then because I could
see me from outside of me, from all different
angles except from the inside angle I was used
to seeing myself.
I was
alone. I was confused and very scared. I tried
to get back into my body but could not. I could
not touch the ground either. I was floating. I
rose up into a spot above my body and kind of
just hung there. I could no longer move. I
called out for help and nobody came. I tried to
go out the door but like the stereo I could not
touch the doorknob. I was scared and alone and
did not know what to do. I did not understand
what was happening to me.
I asked
God to help me. I did believe in God then, but I
was kind of angry at him because of the crappy
life I was experiencing. I reasoned that if God
were really the omnipotent and omniscient being
I was taught he was he would not have let me
experience the pain I had experienced throughout
my life. I thought that if there was a time I
needed God, it was now! I was not
disappointed with the result of my plea for
help.
I looked
over by the door to the outside and saw a
beautiful being standing there. His feet did not
touch the floor. His feet just blended into thin
air. He looked both female and male and was
young. I could not tell his/her sex. His hair
was curly and he was about my height. He had
this glow about him too. The glow was green
close to him, then blue, then pure white in the
upper areas. He said, 'I am here to help you'
but when he spoke his mouth did not move. I did
not actually hear him speak with my ears. I felt
what he was saying.
When I
saw this being and he spoke to me, I was no
longer afraid. I actually felt peace and comfort
like I had never felt before. I felt the peace I
was searching for throughout my entire life. The
feeling was very familiar to me, like I had felt
it before but not in this life.
This
wonderful being called me by a name I do not
remember. I told him he must have the wrong guy
and that the name he used for me was not my
name. He laughed and said that I was a great
'master' and that I had just forgotten who I
was. I did not believe him, because I did not
really know for sure what a 'master' was then
and if I were this great master I would not have
had all the problems I had. I felt that I was an
evil being because that is what I was told in my
life several times by many.
He told
me his name, but I do not remember it. He told
me that he had been with me always and told me
that he knew that I had a very hard life and
that he would help me understand why if I really
wanted to. He told me that he would help me
remember who I am. He said that he would
understand if I did not believe him and offered
to prove to me that he knew everything about me.
He told
me things that I did when I as a child that
proved to me that he was always with me. He told
me about things I had only thought about. He
told me that I could go anywhere I wanted to go
and that he would show me how to do it if I
wanted him to. He said that if I needed to come
back and see my body I could. My body would be
fine because I was still connected to it
somehow.
When we
spoke to each other we did so telepathically.
The expression on his face was a happy one all
the time.
I told
him that I would like to see the pyramids in
Egypt as well as the southwest United States. He
told me that all I had to do was trust him,
think about where I wanted to go, and we would
go. I thought about the pyramids and we were
there in an instant. I do not know why I chose
the pyramids, the thought just popped into me so
I went with that. While we were there he told me
some things about the pyramids and Egypt that I
do not remember now. I really wish I could
remember what he explained while we were there
because I do know it was highly significant and
had to do with humanity's future.
When we
finished in Egypt, we went to the southwest
United States but flew there slowly so I could
see sights along the way. I wanted to see this
planet with the eyes I had then. I saw the
countries of the Far East and the Pacific Ocean.
Night was falling in the southwest US and I
could see what the being told me was energy
emanating from almost everything I could see,
especially the plant and animal life. The energy
was strongest in the areas of the land and sea
that had the least amount of humans.
The
energy was the lowest in areas where there were
man-made structures, the cities of the world.
The energy I saw came from the human beings that
lived in the cities. It was explained to me that
humans are the basic producers of energy in
cities because of their relatively low vibration
level the energy is lower in general. I could
see the higher sources of energy in the cities
though. I was shown people who had higher energy
levels and some of them actually talked to the
being I was with. I saw dark souls during the
time the being and I spent on Gaia. The dark
souls were earthbound spirits who refuse to go
to the light. They prey on the energies of
humans still in human form and try to use those
souls to prevent the evolution of spirit. I was
told I was protected from these dark ones as
long as I chose to focus on the love in me. The
dark ones did not even try to affect us, in fact
they gave us nasty looks and went away. I was
told I would know these dark ones when I see
them and I was told to tell them to go to the
light. The light is a porthole to the place all
souls go if they choose.
I could
see energy around the humans too, all different
levels and colors. The being explained the human
energy to me. He said that the energy coming
from humans is what spirits use to evaluate the
spiritual condition of particular humans. He
said the lighter and more brilliant the color
the more advanced the spirit is. He said that
seeing the "aura" around a spirit is useful in
determining how much a particular spirit needs
to work on his development. He said the higher
beings know where to go and what to do to help
an earthbound soul so they may advance
themselves if they so choose. He told me that
all souls have this energy, this is why I could
see it on every human I saw. He said that I was
of the same energy type as he but my vibration
is lower when I am in human form and that in
time my energy would raise to match his
intensity provided I chose to take the
initiative to consciously evolve my soul.
He told
me that there is much to this planet that
spirits can see which humans do not see with
their eyes because their vibrations are so low.
He showed me life in the trees that I could see
as a spirit but could not see in my human form.
He
explained that beings of higher vibration do
live on Earth but they are not human, they are
part of Earth itself. He explained these beings
were the caretakers of physical life on the
planet. He said that these beings take care of
what we call nature. There are beings that take
care of the plant life, the mineral life and the
waterborne life. These lower echelon beings work
together to ensure that all aspects of nature is
protected and remains healthy. When the planet
was evolving, these ethereal beings were the
ones that kept the balance of nature.
He
explained to me that the planet that we call
Earth really has a proper name. He told me the
Earth is really called 'Gaia.' He said Gaia has
its own energy and that Gaia is really a true
living being. I asked if this energy could be
seen and he said that we have to be away from
Gaia to appreciate and see it. He said humans
are the ones who can manipulate Gaia's energy
through their choices. He said if humans choose
to live in harmony with the energy on Gaia, it
is good for Gaia. He said if humans abuse Gaia,
they hurt Gaia by altering its energy structure.
I was given an example of how humans have
deforested the planet and reduced the energy
available faster than it could be replenished.
He said Gaia was very strong but has been
weakened considerably since humans have chosen
to use the resources in a manner inconsistent
with the laws of the universe.
I asked
him if we could go into space and see Gaia's
energy and he said yes. He said there were no
limits on where we could go. I concentrated my
thought, trusted, and we then went into what is
known as space.
Away
from this planet I could see Gaia all at once.
It was so beautiful. I could see the aura around
Gaia. The aura affected me greatly. I felt a
deep love for this beautiful place. I could hear
Gaia move and was told the sound was the energy
flowing in and out of Gaia. My special being
told me that Gaia is the most unique planet
because it is designed for humans to live on
forever. It was created for a spirit to play,
learn, and grow. He said the balance of nature
on Gaia allows a spirit to be in human form when
a spirit lives in harmony with nature.
Nature
exists to compensate for the decreased vibration
and was created for spirits to adapt enough to
adjust and be in the physical human body while
still having access to energy that will help
them advance. He explained that humans were
designed by God to live eternally on Gaia and
are not supposed to 'die.' He said that 'dying'
is a human created Earth term that means little
in the world of spirit. The reason that humans
supposedly die is that they have fallen away
from the balance of nature and allow themselves
to be affected by what they create that violate
the natural laws of the universe. He said that
humans have fallen away from living in balance
with nature. He said they must relearn about the
harmonic balance if they want to survive as a
race and live on Gaia forever. He said it was
still possible for humans to learn about this
harmony and that it is the next overall goal of
humans on Gaia. I was told that humans would
eventually realize they must restore the harmony
but great damage will be inflicted before humans
will fully realize what they have been doing to
Gaia and work to reverse what they have done.
2.
Traveling Through the Realms
We
traveled past all of the planets in our solar
system. Near each planet I could hear the energy
just like on Gaia. I saw the auras around each
one of them too. I saw spirits on all of them as
well. My friend told me that all planets are
places for spirits to live, learn and thus
evolve. I saw great cities on each and every one
of those planets. It was explained that other
life in the universe is not readily seen because
the beings were all of higher vibration and most
spirits in human form have yet to attain the
higher vibration required to see them.
The
being told me that each planet has a theme for
learning and that any of them can be chosen by a
soul when we are between physical lives. He said
we practice on the other planets to be ready to
live on Gaia. He said Gaia is the ultimate
experience for a soul. It is ultimate because
our souls evolve faster here than anywhere else.
It was said that the lessons we need to learn
are difficult to learn without having a physical
form.
He
explained how we pick a physical life on Gaia.
He explained to me that I picked the parents I
was born to so that I could learn what I needed
to learn to grow enough to come back and do
spirit work on Gaia after I attain a certain
level of growth. He said that I was being told
all of these things so that I could help souls
come together and return Gaia to harmony.
He
explained some things to me about God that I do
not remember. They had to do with the universe
and the size and structure of it. I do remember
he said that God is not to be seen for he is
everywhere. He told me that God loves Gaia
deeply, much as a man loves his wife.
He
talked about Jesus too. He told me Jesus was a
master God sent to Earth to teach humans how to
act toward each other and find their way back to
the path of harmony with each other as well as
with Gaia.
I was
told that Jesus is the being that is entrusted
by God to ensure that souls evolve. He said that
Jesus is of the highest in vibration than any
other soul. He said that God holds Jesus in the
highest of favor because he was the best example
of what humans need to do. I then got to see
Jesus. I saw his light. Jesus' light was the
purest I have ever seen. There was no need for
words. There were only love feelings that I
cannot even begin to describe.
I was
told that loving one another is what souls need
to do in order for peace and harmony to be the
standard on Gaia.
I was
told that there is a hierarchy in the universe
that is dedicated to preserving the harmony of
the universe. I was told that humans are an
integral part of this harmony and that the free
will we have is a part of souls that allows
humans to provide service to the universe.
After he
explained those things to me I was able to see
our whole solar system all at once in full
color. The planets were all in a line and I
could see all of them from Pluto to the sun. I
felt very blessed and very important. I was
given this great gift and I did not really
understand why. There I floated, a being that
went out his way to inflict pain on other souls,
yet I was never asked about what I had done. In
fact I was given the honor of being given
answers to questions most people wonder about
all of their lives.
I
thanked this loving being for explaining and
showing me what he did. He told me that there
was more for him to show me if I was ready to
experience it. I told him I was ready. I did not
know why I was chosen but I was not about to
question why. It just seemed small to me then.
We
started to head back toward Gaia. We went to a
place in the shadow of Gaia. It was a great city
in the clouds. The city had these beautiful
white buildings as far as I could see. I saw
spirits living there all of which had vibration
but no real physical body. These inhabitants
went to and from the buildings - going to work
and play too. I saw a place where spirits went
to get what I thought was water. There were no
vehicles there. Spirits seemed to get around the
same way my being and I got around, by flying.
The city
had no boundaries that I could see. This was a
place full of life of all kinds. There was
nature there, many pure plants, trees, and water
just like on Gaia but more pure. Nature there
was absolutely perfect. It was untainted by
human manipulation. This place was just like
Gaia only without the problems and negativity. I
felt that this was what is called heaven in
Earth terms.
I saw
spirits going to and from the Gaia and the city.
I could tell the development of the spirits
going to and from by the energy they emanated. I
could see that animals came to and from Earth
just like humans do. I could see many spirits
leave Gaia with guides and could see spirits
returning to Gaia without guides. The being told
me that some of the spirits passing were the
ones that were doing the work with humans on
Gaia. I could make out the type of spirits that
were doing the work and the spirits that were
coming to the great city to become replenished
to eventually go back to Gaia to experience and
further evolve. I could feel the emotions of the
ones coming back for replenishment. I could feel
that some of them were sad, beaten and scared,
much like I felt before my being came to me.
My being
took me into one of the larger buildings. Inside
I saw many spirits working. They were doing
things similar to jobs on Earth. When we walked
by the spirits, they looked at me. I think they
were checking me out because of the being I was
with.
We went
upstairs and I saw spirits that knew me. They
greeted me and asked me how I was doing. They
gave me advice of which I do not remember. I
thought I was going to be given a job there, but
the being knew I thought that and told me that
there was something I needed to do first.
I was
ecstatic. I was in heaven despite everything I
had done during my life on Gaia. I was
experiencing what most people only dream about.
The love I felt there was the same love I felt
when I saw Jesus. I had been searching on Gaia
for what was really the same place I was in
then. I was searching on Gaia for the feeling I
was feeling that very moment. I had found what I
spent my whole life searching for. I was truly
happy. I was home and I knew it. I was ready to
stay and do whatever work I was given to do.
My being
took me to another building that was special. It
was bigger than the rest and had the greenest
foliage I had ever seen growing on it,
decorating it like a shrine. We went inside a
set of double doors that glowed with life. The
inside was decorated with a wood paneling that
the being told me was "living" wood from the
trees that grew at this wonderful place. He led
me to some big double doors and told me to wait
on this bench while he went inside.
A bit
later he came out of the room. He told me to go
into the room and said he would wait for me and
to not worry. He cautioned me to ensure that I
was truthful with the beings in the room. He
said they were not judges, rather they were the
ones who evaluated a soul's development based on
a soul's history. He told me to remember who I
was and to refrain from fear. I knew I had to
leave this being sooner or later but I was glad
that he would wait for me. I was a little scared
to leave him, but I felt that I was protected
and knew that I would be protected here.
3. David's
Life Review
I
went in and saw a group of several spirits
seated at a table. The table was made of the
glowing wood and was perfect in every way. The
spirits around this table had the highest
vibration I had seen so far with the exception
of Jesus.
I looked
at these beings and recognized them. I do not
know where I recognized them from, but they all
had a familiarity about them. They just looked
at me.
All of a
sudden, I saw my parents on Earth before I was
born. I saw how they came to be together and
watched them have my brother and sister before
me. I saw their positive and negative sides and
evaluated them according to what I knew I needed
to do on Gaia. The beings asked me how and why I
picked these particular parents and asked me to
tell them. They said I knew how and why I picked
them and asked me to tell them why. I do not
know where it came from but I did tell them how
and why and they agreed with me. I picked them
to help them on their path as well as to achieve
my learning.
I saw my
soul go to my mother and go inside of her. I saw
myself being born from an observer standpoint as
well as having the actual experience. I
proceeded to see my entire life from the
observer point of view and from the points of
view of those my actions affected. I felt the
feelings they felt that directly resulted from
things I had done to them. I saw both the
positive and the negative things I had done as
they had truly happened, nothing was left out or
presented inaccurately.
I
experienced the harshness of being born again. I
experienced leaving heaven and the transit to
Gaia. I saw myself as a helpless infant who
needed his mother for everything. I experienced
my father's love as well as his anger. I
experienced my mothers love, her fear and her
anger as well. I saw all of the good and bad
from my childhood years and re-experienced what
I had done then. I felt all of my emotions and
the emotions of the souls I had hurt as well as
loved. From all of this I learned that it
matters deeply what choices I make on Gaia.
I
learned just how powerful we humans are and how
we can affect each other in positive and
negative ways. It was amazing to see how my
innocent actions had such a powerful effect on
souls that I had no idea I was affecting. The
experience was one that I will never forget. I
experienced the whole spectrum of feelings of my
life in a relatively short period of time as we
humans see it. Where I was, time did not really
exist.
I could
see how I became what I had become on Gaia and
why I became that way. Everything I did in my
life affected the evolution of the souls around
me. I saw the reasons for all of my actions and
understood why I did what I had done. There was
a place for all of my positive and negative
actions. There was no action that was
necessarily wrong, but there were actions I took
that did not enhance positive growth. I was both
a victim and a beneficiary of my actions. This
was not a fun experience to go through. I could
see how wonderful it could be if one chose to
act to affect other souls positively most of the
time.
Afterward, the beings in the room asked me
questions about what I saw and how I felt about
my life up to then. I knew that I had to provide
an honest assessment - I could not lie. I
hesitated when they asked me whether I affected
others more positively than negatively. I
thought about lying.
These
beings knew what I was thinking and I had to
tell them that I felt that I could have done a
better job on Gaia. I knew what I had come to
Gaia to accomplish and was well on my way to
doing that but I knew I was not finished yet.
They agreed and told me that I still had many
things to do and that I may want to go back and
do them. I was told it was understood how
difficult it would be for me but it was
necessary for the universe for me to finish.
They
said that it may be wise to go back and live my
life how I had originally planned it.
They
said I had set lofty goals for my life on Gaia
and the events in my life were achieving the
goals I had set.
They
said that I originally came to Gaia to learn and
share with others using the gifts that I have
accumulated over several lifetimes.
They
said that I am needed on Gaia to help souls
bring themselves and Gaia back to harmony.
They
said that I have great potential to affect other
souls, to help them grow and that Gaia is the
best place to do that. I was told that the
events I had experienced thus far were preparing
me to make a large contribution to the universe
and that my experiences were not to be
considered personal attacks in any way. I did
not want to accept that, I wanted to stay, I
told them that.
I told
them I was tired and wanted to stay because life
on Gaia is hard and unforgiving. I felt that
going back would be dangerous for the universe
because I was not advanced enough in my
spiritual evolution. They said that was
precisely why it would be in my best interest to
go back to Gaia.
They
said I was more advanced than I give myself
credit for.
They
said that it was possible for me to stay but I
would need to finish my work on Gaia sooner or
later. The type of work I was destined for can
only be done on Gaia. I could stay if chose to
but I would only be prolonging the completion of
what I needed to do for this universe.
They
explained the fastest way to finish my work
would be to go back to Gaia as soon as possible.
I was
stunned to say the least. I resorted to
bargaining but it was no use. I still did not
like living on Gaia and did not really want to
go back. These beings understood me but remained
firm. I had a decision to make that was really
the hardest decision I would ever make.
I did
come back to Gaia and am now living the life
that I was
(later in the experience) told I would
live. Believe it or not, I ended up shelving
this experience away, classifying it as a really
vivid "trip." It was not until I evolved more
that I realized the gift I was given.
I share
this experience now because I feel it can, if so
chosen, spur thought and foster choices that
affect the planet in a positive way.
If I
learned anything from this experience it was
that every choice I make is duly recorded, noted
and will return later, when I leave here again.
My goal
is to save people the pain that I felt in my
review and hasten the evolution of humans on
Gaia, helping Gaia as well as the universe.
Again, I
wish you all of the love I feel in my heart and
I give this love to you.
[
David Oakford now
talks of his return to Earth ]
I am one
who had a near-death experience and was given a
choice to return to this planet in a physical
sense again. I chose to return out of love for
this planet, a love so great that I would give
up the slot I have 'back home.' I did this also
in order to help to heal the place through the
sharing of what I was shown of the in-between
and through the choices I make, (hopefully
loving and kind ones).
Without
the free will to return I would not be here in
the physical doing what I am doing. The physical
pain, war, poverty, pestilence, horror, rape,
murder, abandonment etc, etc, etc. that is here
on this planet is the result of humans coming
here and making their free choices in order to
learn and evolve. Unfortunately learning does
tend to create a mess at times and the physical
pain etc. etc.. is a part of that mess. It makes
sense to me that the same free choice concept is
instrumental in cleaning up the mess.
I liken
it to camping and choosing to clean up or not
clean up the mess one makes. If you choose to
clean up your mess, this helps the planet to
stay as is because one does not contribute to
the mess. If one does not clean up it adds to
the mess. If one cleans up their own mess and
then some it contributes to healing the planet.
In my
near-death experience I was also shown that
there are many souls in 'heaven' who are more
than willing to come to this place regardless of
the state it is in. I was shown that if I did
not choose to return I would be in the schools
that exist in heaven, working toward the growth
I need to accomplish regardless of the form I am
in. That was an attractive choice to be sure
except that I had a problem with how long it
would take me to grow enough to do what my soul
wishes to do. (I have a burning desire to
experience other places in other universes and
to do that I need to grow more.) The
prerequisite for that is ensuring that my soul
has the IQ for it.
It is my
understanding that a soul can choose to remain
in heaven and operate on the level he/she
(whatever)
is on to infinity, but I seek more because I
know without doubt that there is more.
At any
rate, the idea remains that for this place to
start feeling and looking like heaven is to
create the love felt there here. I would like to
see that on this planet and I know it can be
done. If I need to, I will come back here all
over again to make it happen.
