I väntan på Jesus

 

One of the loveliest near-death experiences I have ever listened to, is teacher Jayne Smith's near-death experience 1952, before the science of near-death experiences was born (she died in 2021): 

 

"Woman Near-Death Experience After Ending Her Life Reveals Future And A Memory Sealed Into My Soul" (Youtube, June 14, 2023)

 

 

(emphasis by me)

 

The whole near-death experience of Jayne Smith is transcribed on the www.near-death.com site, here. 

 

This revelation of God's plan, and the beauty of it, reminds me of one of my former writings, which I love very much, which is a "forest translation" of one of my favourite bible passages, Joh.1:1-18. The following is this text, taken from the book "Djurisk teologi. Paradisets återkomst" (Titel 2010) (Animalistic theology. The return of paradise"):

 

 

 

När civilisationen började, reste det sig en Plan bland djuren och hos Naturen.

Denna Plan reste sig alldeles i början, samtidigt som civilisationen.

En Plan för att besegra civilisationen. Sedan dess har allting i naturen kretsat kring denna Plan. Ingenting har blivit till utanför denna Plan.

I denna Plan fanns LIV!!, och livet lyste över civilisationen.

Ljuset lyste i mörkret, och kunde inte förintas.

 

 

En apa lät sig återfödas som människa inne i civilisationen. Hans namn var Johannes. Han kom för att berätta för människorna om detta ljus, så att alla kunde återvända till naturen. Johannes var inte själv en apa då han var bland oss, men han berättade om dem, om deras ljus. Och på det sättet lyckades naturens ljus, som upplyser alla, tränga sig in i civilisationen.

 

Nu befann sig ljuset inne i civilisationen, bland människor som kommit till enbart genom detta ljus - och ändå såg man inte det. Naturen kom till sina barn, men de förkastade sin Mamma. Men alla som ville fick bli hennes barn igen, och födas av henne, inte genom sitt eget beslut, utan genom Naturens beslut: Planen.

 

 

Och Planen förverkligades, och blev kött och blod, som levde tillsammans med oss. Och vi såg Planens härlighet, så skön och så sann som om den vore Naturens ögonsten, det enda den var upptagen med. Vi har känt denna överflödande kärlek skölja över oss, våg efter våg. Först kom Moses med sin lag, sedan kom Jesus, apornas son, med sina sköna sanningar. De talade alla om Naturen, som de civiliserade inte kunde se. Men den Ende (Allah), Fadersfamnen, visade sig för oss genom dem."

 

End quote. An English translation is added in the bottom of this article, in (1). 

 

There was also another very beautiful passage in Jayne Smith's near-death experience. It's this:

 

"I said to him again, “Everything that has happened to me since I crossed over is so beautiful. Everything is so perfect. What about my sins?”

He said, “There are no sins, not the way you think of them on Earth. The only thing that has any meaning here is what you think.”

Then he asked me a question. “What is in your heart?”

Then in some incredible way that I don’t understand at all, I was able to look deeply inside myself, really into the very core of me to my essence. I saw that what was there was love, nothing else. My core was perfect love, loving perfection. I had complete love and acceptance for everything. I saw my own gentleness, tenderness, harmlessness. I simply was perfect and loving.

I said to him, “Of course!” I felt I was connecting with knowledge that I had known before. I wondered how on Earth had I forgotten anything that important. I have known that.

I said, “Can you tell me what everything is all about – the whole world – everything?”

He said, “Yes.”

He told me in only three sentences at the most. It was so simple. I understood that immediately. I had total comprehension of what he was saying to me. I remember again saying to him, “Of course!” Then there was that feeling again of connecting with knowledge I had once had. I wondered how on Earth did I forget that.

I said to him, “Since I am not going to be able to stay, there are so many people I want to take this back to. May I take this all back with me?”

He said, “You may take the answer to the first question back, the one about sins. But the answer to the second one, you are not going to be able to remember.” "

The concept of there being no sin, I have written about before, in this Swedish blogpost.

And a little later into the same story about:

 

"After the experience, I have never been able to remember the specific two or three sentences I was told. I have tried and I have tried for years after this experience to make a concerted effort to try, especially after I went to bed at night, when I would be lying there in that not quite asleep state. And I never could. Finally, I just stopped trying to do that.

But, I do think I know what he was telling me even though I cannot recall the actual two or three sentences. I know that it has to do with love. I believe it has to do with what I was enabled to see when he said, “What is in your heart?” I looked inside myself and saw that I was perfect love."

(the bold text emboldened by me)

“THE PLAN

The beginning

When civilization began, a Plan arose among the animals and in Nature.
This Plan arose at the very beginning, at the same time as civilization.
A Plan to defeat Civilization. Since then, everything in nature has revolved around this Plan. Nothing has come into existence outside of this Plan.
In this Plan was LIFE!!, and life shone upon civilization.
The light shone in the darkness, and could not be destroyed.

The savage John

A monkey allowed himself to be reborn as a human inside civilization. His name was John. He came to tell the people about this light, so that everyone could return to nature. Johannes was not himself a monkey when he was among us, but he told about them, about their light. And in that way the light of nature, which enlightens all, managed to penetrate into civilization.

Now the light was within civilization, among men who came into existence only through this light - and yet it was not seen. Nature came to her children, but they rejected their Mother. But everyone who wanted could become her child again, and be born of her, not by their own decision, but by Nature's decision: The Plan.

The plan comes to fruition

And the Plan was realized, and became flesh and blood, living together with us. And we saw the glory of the Plan, as beautiful and as true as if it were the apple of Nature's eye, the only thing it was occupied with. We have felt this overflowing love wash over us, wave after wave. First Moses came with his law, then Jesus, the son of the apes, came with his beautiful truths. They all spoke of Nature, which the civilized could not see. But the One (Allah), the Father's bosom, appeared to us through them."
