The holy faith of reformed samaritanism

A near death experience testimony
Many years ago I suffered from a medical emergency where I stopped breathing for a few minutes-- the end 
result being a near death experience. And, though I didn't got to “see” the Creator [as that which is finite will 
never be able to completely fathom what is Infinite], I seems like I was considered worthy enough to 
experiencing a glimpse of what otherwise felt to be “non-physical existence”; a sort of “heaven” [or parallel 
dimension] outside the normal flow of time/space. 
Sadly, what I saw there [if we can properly call it a place], was much like the Matrix movie: In other words, 
what I heard, what I experienced, and what I learned during my near death experience was of such a complex
and supernatural nature that it cannot be properly described with human words [as you would expect 
whenever describing things that are foreign to normal human experience, like “becoming a living thought”, 
“mind to mind communication”, trans-dimensional displacement, infinite energy, infinite knowledge, infinite
peace, etc]. 
The main point is that, after I finally came back to my body, I realized a few important things: 
In the first place, God speaks to each “soul” in a language that such soul can properly understand. In other 
words, what you’ll see in the afterlife is a direct function of the needs, goals, and values that defined you 
while still alive. Thus, if you were a merciful person, you’ll be shown a merciful afterlife; if you were an 
avid student of Torah (God’s Law), you will be shown an afterlife closely resembling “a Religious Academy”
(or a Yeshiva); if you were a winner of souls, your afterlife will seem like an incredible environment, were 
you are given the power to read minds, and thereby induce people to turn back to God; But if you lived your

life like an irrational beast [blindly following the promptings of your lower instincts], your afterlife will feel 
like the end of king Nebuchadnezzar, who was given the heart of a beast [so that he ended up eating grass, 
like a bull]. 
Lastly, I learned that our material world and cares (money, sex, power, fame, politics, religious and scientific 
establishments, etc) is transitory and futile, being only just a small [and almost negligible] fraction of an 
infinitely larger reality. I learned that the things that really matter in life [having enduring value] have 
ironically nothing to do with matter. 
They are instead our sincere desire to do good, and our commitment with a daily struggle to live in harmony 
with the Divinely appointed moral order of the universe; with the harsh journey thru the moral wilderness of 
our hedonistic generation; a journey in which we follow the lead of our God, who wages an everlasting battle
against the evil allegorically portrayed by Amalek (“… the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation 
to generation”- Exodus 17:16), as well as the Canaanite nations (“For it was of the Lord to harden their 
hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, that they might have no favour, 
but that they might be destroyed, as the Lord commanded Moses”- Joshua 11:20); a struggle for “light” 
(kindness, justice, mercy, love, humility, hope, faith and wisdom) to overcome “darkness” (cruelty, injustice, 
hatred, arrogance, hopelessness, stubbornness, and foolishness). 
May God’s peace be upon you!
