Enlightening quote of the day: (Regarding GOD) “Deep are all Your secrets, and numberless; and Your righteousness cannot be calculated.” – Enoch (vegetarian) Venerated Antediluvian Patriarch Devoted Messenger of GOD (1 Enoch 63:5, Ethiopic Enoch)

Previously in Part 1 of this two-part series on Carolina Fahlbusch’s near-death experience, Carolina recalled a childhood motorcycle crash. She described leaving her body before the motorcycle landed on her and watching from above as the driver tried to wake her. While he was visibly distressed, she felt completely at peace. Asked whether she had encountered a guide or angel, Carolina reflected on what stood out during the experience.

I didn’t have any interactions with anybody else, let’s say. It was more this — first of all, this feeling of everything is OK. Everything is always perfect, which is something that we, as human beings, on a daily basis, may struggle with. When something pops up that we don’t prefer whatsoever, and that we would love to change, there is resistance. So there is not this kind of acceptance and allowance of, yeah, everything is perfect, and this is showing up for a certain reason to empower me. So, when you pop out — when you have the near-death experience or whatever — and you experience this kind of everything is perfect, you see that there is a person you love that is completely concerned about you going to the other side, or passing, or whatever you want to call it, and you feel everything is perfect. I mean, wow, that shifts something inside of you, big time.

One part of the experience remained a mystery to Carolina. And then also, the other thing is that I popped out of my body before the bike landed on me, and the next thing that I remember, he was taking it off of my body. So there is this linear time gap. And I don’t remember what happened there. So it is possible that I had an interaction that I’m not supposed to remember right now. And this is something that I’ve been also considering a lot. It’s like, “Why is this time gap [there] if time doesn’t exist? If it’s only a construct that we utilize here on Earth so that we are able to experience this in a certain way, so that we don’t know what’s coming next, so that we can learn to trust ourselves, to trust Divinity, to trust the Divine path. So it’s just a tool for this stuff. And it doesn’t really exist, so why is this gap there for me that I don’t remember?” And the only thing that came to me was this answer of: because I asked questions— because my life has been always about curiosity and asking questions. So, the moment I popped out of my body, I’m sure I asked something, and obviously, you get always the right answer, and the most Divine one. And yes, it’s not time for me to remember that yet.

What Carolina does remember clearly is a feeling of complete expansiveness. So there is also this kind of thing that you cannot really describe. That is this expansiveness that you can feel when you are out of this suit, and you can hear the thoughts of people. You can sense their feelings. And it really shifts something inside of people, and of me — it was like an attunement. And when you come back, that stays with you. (Life Death & Beyond YouTube channel)
