Supreme Master Ching Hai has spoken to us many times about the book "Embraced
By The Light" by Betty J. Eadie, commenting that this book was written
for spiritual practitioners, to prove that everything She says is true.
In this book, a mother of eight talks to us about her near-death experience
and what she learned and saw on the other side of life. As I was devouring
the book, I exclaimed joyfully: "My God, this book is so good! This
book is so true! This book is so great! All that Supreme Master Ching Hai
says is really true!" This book had the power to fill me with joy,
love, understanding and acceptance of my life.
We should not judge ourselves as long as we do not have the knowledge to
understand the true meaning of things. Nor should we make comparisons between
ourselves and others, because we have chosen our own talents and weaknesses
as tools for spiritual growth. We are unique and just perfect the way we
are. We came here to learn how to love one another and to go back to the
unconditional love of God. Here are some excerpts from the book when Betty,
the author and main character, was shown the spirits/souls in heaven selecting
bodies to achieve spiritual growth on Earth.
"After watching the spirits trying to corral these two young people
together, my attention turned to other spirits making preparations to go
to Earth. One exceptionally brilliant and dynamic spirit was just entering
his mother's womb. He had chosen to enter this world mentally handicapped.
He was very excited about this opportunity and was aware of the growth
he and his parents would achieve. The three of them had bonded with each
other and planned for this arrangement long before. He chose to begin his
mortal life at his body's conception, and I watched his spirit move into
the womb and enter the newly formed life. He was anxious to feel the great
love of his mortal parents."
"Abortion, I was told, is contrary to that which is natural. The spirit
coming into the body feels a sense of rejection and sorrow. It knows that
the body was to be his, whether it was conceived out of wedlock or was
handicapped or was only strong enough to live a few hours. But the spirit
also feels compassion for its mother, knowing that she made a decision
based on the knowledge she had."
"I saw the unconditional love of God, beyond any earthly love, radiating
from Him to all His children. I saw the angels standing near us, waiting
to assist us, rejoicing in our accomplishments and joys. But above all,
I saw Christ, the Creator and Savior of the Earth, my friend, and the closest
friend any of us can have. I seemed to melt with joy as I was held in His
arms and comforted - Home at last. I would give all in my power, all that
I ever was, to be filled with that love again, to be embraced in the arms
of His eternal light."
If only Betty Eadie practiced the Quan Yin Method, she could experience
this unconditional love again, even before dying!กน
