My Descent Into Death Quotes

“When a loving person dies, God sends angels to escort them on their journey to heaven. Angels are the messengers of God. They could be relatives or friends, but they will be exactly the right persons who represent God’s love to the individual. The persons you long for, who have gone to heaven before you, will be waiting for you when you die. They will be ready to comfort you and escort you to heaven. They will take you from the reality of this physical universe and transport you to a new reality where you get your first introduction to the wonder and power of God. There are as many entry points into heaven as there are individuals. Each person is escorted toward heaven according to his or her life, culture, and spiritual level. One person may be in a beautiful field, another may be in a magnificent castle, another in a setting similar to their grandparents’ home. God and the angels, for the specific comfort and beginning edification of that person, individually create each setting. It is difficult for us to understand and believe how much God cares about and respects our individuality. The angel guardians begin the process of explaining to the person that they have left the world and are beginning life. Everything behind was preparation for real life. What we call death is actually being born into a new life beyond our imagination. We will grow and be transformed. We will meet the personification of God, and eventually we will come before the very presence of God.”

“The best religion is the religion that brings you closest to God." There are good people in bad religions and bad people in good religions. It is not so important what religion but what individuals do with the religion they have. Religions are a vehicle to take you to a destination. The purpose of religion is to help you have a personal relationship with God. Too often people find religion to be self serving, interested in perpetuating itself and controlling people’s lives in order to be dominant. God abhors the misuse of religion that creates divisiveness between people, that justifies violence, that promotes pride in self righteousness. God is far greater than any religion.”
