Catholic Priest Died for 48 Minutes

       I just read this article on "Sahifa." The priest's experience confirms my understanding that each of us will have a different experience when we die. The "motherly figure" that Father O'Neal met could have been one aspect of God or she could have been a loving spirit guide, an angel, a goddess, or any one of God's many faces. I believe that labeling God as a woman is just as limiting as labeling God a man. I believe that God is all-encompassing, All-That-Is, the epitome of Love and Light which is greater than anything our human minds can comprehend, even in death. Each of us is a child of God and a piece of God - the whole of God cannot be contained in one personality or one body, no matter how perfect and immortal that body may be. 


(Just my opinion. As always, I am open to comments. When making comments, please sign in before typing or your comment will disappear. Thank you!)


CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO WAS DEAD FOR 48 MINUTES SAYS GOD IS A WOMAN

A Catholic priest from Massachussetts was officially dead for more than 48 minutes before medics were able to miraculously re-start his heart has revealed a shocking revelation that will change everything you once believed.
The 71 years old cleric Father John Micheal O’neal claims he went to heaven and met God, which he describes as a warm and comforting motherly figure.
Father John Micheal O’neal was rushed to the hospital on January 29 after a major heart attack, but was declared clinically dead soon after his arrival. With the aid of a high-tech machine called LUCAS 2, that kept the blood flowing to his brain, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital managed to unblock vital arteries and return his heart to a normal rhythm.
The doctors were afraid he would have suffered some brain damage from the incident, but he woke up less than 48 minutes later and seems to have perfectly recovered.

The elderly man claims that he has clear and vivid memories of what happened to him while he was dead. He describes a strange out-of-body experience, experiencing an intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance, as well as being surrounded by an overwhelming light.
He claims that at that point in his experience, he went to heaven and encountered God, which he describes as a feminine, mother-like “Being of Light”.
“Her presence was both overwhelming and comforting” states the Catholic priest. “She had a soft and soothing voice and her presence was as reassuring as a mother’s embrace. The fact that God is a Holy Mother instead of a Holy Father doesn’t disturb me, she is everything I hoped she would be and even more!
The declarations of the cleric caused quite a stir in the catholic clergy of the archdiocese over the last few days, causing the Archbishop to summon a press conference to try and calm the rumors.
Despite the disapproval of his superiors, Father O’neal says that he will continue dedicating his life to God and spread the word of the “Holy Mother”.
“I wish to continue preaching” says the elderly cleric. “I would like to share my new knowledge of the Mother, the Son and the Holy Ghost with all catholics and even all Christians. God is great and almighty despite being a woman…”
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has not confirmed however, if they will allow Father O’neal to resume his preaching in his former parish in South Boston.
