Well, actually you hear a lot of it in the new age community. “When you die you go to the light and become love.” But a lot of Christians believe this, to be sure. They think you’re transmitted into heavenly paradise where there is no sin.
I was referring to “angels” in the sense of being,
Character, and behavior. Not necessarily a literal winged being.

You often hear the same thing said in NDEs, the loving light being God. I think that bit is true, that God loves all of us equally no matter what we’ve done. The bit they’re assuming is that we will become part, or equal to, the same entity for eternity after this life. Personally, I think there’s a long journey to travel before we get to that point.
There May be some truth to it, sure. I agree that if this happens, it doesn’t simply happen after we die here. I’m not sure what to make of the light. But I’m not convinced that it’s direct evidence of a western style God. People who live in the western world tend to have this experience, while this idea of the light seems to be generally missing in Eastern accounts. This is the same thing we see with Jesus in NDEs. It’s pretty much a Western thing, at least as far as I can’t tell. The study of Eastern NDEs is severely lacking, but there is SOME data.
I do tend to think that we are part of an eternal consciousness, that we are all linked and are one. And that love is our natural state. That tends to be my view of “God.” But, who knows. But in this sense, I feel that we already are this same entity.
But to drive home my previous point, astral travelers and OBE practitioners like Will Buhlman, Jurgen Ziewe, Cyrus Kirkpatrick, and (in my opinion) the best objective afterlife researchers like Victor Zammit, Craig Hogan, Sonia Rinaldi etc, along with the reincarnation research, and the best channeled information like the Seth Material, all generally tell us that we carry most of our hardships and struggles with us after we die. The work continues.
Some people who experience NDEs make the mistake of thinking that, since they died, they automatically have become privy to what our afterlife state will be. I don’t think this is necessarily true. I think an NDE is a rather dramatic and forced STE through an experience of an extended consciousness realm, perhaps like that experienced through ingesting DMT. I don’t believe it be necessarily gives a glimpse to the afterlife. I like studying the works of the OBE gurus I just mentioned in addition to guys like Yogananda and Swedenborg etc, because these experiences are repeated throughout their lifetime and, in many ways, in many instances seem to mirror or seem similar to NDE experiences. NDE experiencers are thrusted into this bizarre experience once and then struggle to put it into context. NDEs are incredible and are super important experiences, and I do not wish to demean them. But we need to be very cautious in interpreting their meaning
Whatever data Courtney has dug up regarding this idea of continued hardship after death would be perfectly in line with the views already held by what I personally consider to be the best afterlife researchers

As far as I'm aware, there are very, very few NDEs where Jesus is found. It is extremely rare, maybe even non-existent. On the other hand, what is fairly common is for the experiencer to encounter some being, some overwhelming being. The person may choose to attach the name 'Jesus' to the phenomenon, but that is purely incidental, much as a person seeing a moving dot of light in the sky might name it a UFO or even an alien craft. Attaching labels is what people do, but it doesn't reach into the heart of a phenomenon and accurately describe its nature.
You’re right, he does seem to. He actually made a post about this on an NDE page on Facebook that I’m part of a few months ago. He was expressing disappointment that his posts weren’t being approved regarding his experiences. I get where he’s coming from, but, it is an NDE page lol. And people like to stray way off topic, so it’s understandable that moderators would want it to stay on topic.
What does that mean? There is still all the negative emotions and even greater challenges and hardships?
Birth becomes very odd, at this point, if true...
Perhaps the light in the eastern tradition is missing, not sure, but an english google search found nothing remarkable. Probably a good idea to try the native languages, if you have done that, then nevermind.

Recently another person who has a lot of experience in out of body states of mind states something similar. He said his entire facebook page was taken down. He believes its a particular member causing the problem, at least from what I remember from this video:
Courtney's most recent farsight video explains his worldview versus 'whatever you call heaven'. Basically, a big part of his philosophy is libertarian but heaven is authoritarian. I bring this up again because it directly relates to a major theme of this very website.
Why are we here? A technical answer might be that specialized intelligences are superior to general intelligence. And that is what we find in the world -- a ton of specialized minds. And in the afterlife?
A unity of sorts or a shared hive mind.
Courtney describes having memories painfully ripped out, losing all our stuff, and having to start over. I think, after having seen this view corroborated by a different independent source, now there is a reason to consider this view. Basically, one never heres about what happens if you don't get along in "heaven".
Swedenborge delineates the process of acquiring what in transhumanist terms would be called in exocortex. I highlight in bold these terms because its a double-entendre. Swedenborge loves cross-correspondences. I am sure I am butchering the idea to make it fit, but that is because my perspective is mostly physicalist.
Basically, I am highlithing the idea that one can easily interpret the afterlife as us being an intelligence in a box, a la Yudkowsky, post singularity. The enforcer is simply whomever created the technology. We spirits are simply working through a system created by an outside force we can never comprehend by design to ensure its safety.
Friendly AI 101: never let it out of the box!

Anyway, see:
And:
To summarize: To fit into heaven, you've got to get with the authoritarian program. God says its better, so it is. Could it be true that some souls are forced here as a kind of rehab? WE have no idea how any of this works.
It would seem resistance to change might be very strong with independently thinking minds, like ourselves. This is something I think is worth considering.
