OBE and NDE experiences were publicized, so I had no context whatsoever nor any support for what I experienced. But there's one thing about those who have interacted with another dimension. We're convinced of that reality, to the point that it takes a while to concede that the other reports that are different from one's own might also be real! What I've come to think is that knowledge of Immensity doesn't occur all at once to one person. Instead, I see the experiences as mosaic tiles of a much larger picture. Also, we've learned to shut up about the details due to the negative reactions. For me, I try to work the messages I received into the parables in the gospels, but if anything, challenging the Orthodox interpretations is an even more unpopular move! Like Jesus said, his messages of truth, hidden in parables to protect them from abuse, will be wasted on 75% of recipients, being ignored, rejected or perverted. Sadly, I bet his prediction can probably be compared to American politics. Republicans, MAGAs and haters in general reject tolerance, love, generosity, empathy. I won't go on and on. But Jesus called them out way before we did!
It might be a good idea to find one or a few writers that one can trust. A book pretty well respected by everyone is Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss. The great thing about him is his history of positions in the psychiatry field and his history of using drugs to open up the psyche. Also, he entered spirituality completely by accident, so he wasn't out to pursue an agenda.
For reincarnation, I think Ian Stevenson's research is conclusive.
Sorry, not Asian Indian, but I wouldn't mind since they're so pretty !!!!
