The light seemed to merge with me, and as it did all my worries and sorrows vanished. The light and I, which now felt like the same thing, were made of pure, unutterable joy. I realized that we could communicate, though we didn’t need words. The light “spoke” to me in direct downloads of information. You’re about to go through some hard times, it told me. But I am always with you. I’ve always been with you. Then it added, Don’t think you have to die to feel this way. The whole point of being human is learning to feel like this while you’re still alive.
