Awakening to the Unseen: The Spiritual Truth Behind Reality
During my near-death experience (NDE), I encountered a vast and undeniable truth—one that revealed the nature of existence in a way beyond material comprehension. Truth, as I experienced it, was not a linear set of facts but a circular, interconnected whole, leaving no space for doubt. In this wholeness, nothing carried a fixed definition; rather, understanding and knowing flowed seamlessly. Everything in our material existence has an immaterial and divine reason for being. This divine knowing is not an abstract concept but an inherent reality made clear from my exposure on the other side. Every experience, object, and moment serves an unseen, spiritual purpose beyond its surface-level identity.
The Material Illusion of Existence
Nothing in this reality is as it seems. We live in a world where language and definitions shape our perception, yet these very constructs impose limits on our understanding. Most people navigate life by labeling what they see—a table, a chair, a tree—assigning them functions based solely on their physical properties.
After my NDE, my sight was permanently transformed. The table before me was no longer just wood and screws. It was an offering—a space for gratitude, warmth, and connection. I saw the tree that once stood tall, offering its life, and the craftsman who infused intention into its creation. The table was not merely an object; it was a thread in the fabric of existence, imbued with the spirit of all who played a role in its journey. The table was fluid, conscious, flowing, and alive.
This expanded vision extends to all things. The material world is not separate from the divine but a vessel for it. When we shift our perception, we begin to recognize the sacredness embedded in all things, revealing the deeper cycle that sustains life.
The Seen and the Unseen
Human understanding is largely shaped by what we can touch, see, and measure. Materialism and science dominate our perception, reducing existence to physical interactions. Yet, this view is inherently incomplete. Language itself, though a necessary tool, fails to capture the vastness of reality.
The source of life—God, energy, spirit—is not something that can be materially defined. It is the unseen essence flowing through everything, the very breath of existence, creation itself. But how do we access this deeper wisdom when material perception so often clouds our view?
Recognizing the Immaterial: Awareness and Gratitude
The key to perceiving the immaterial lies in awareness. By quieting the mental chatter—the constant need to define and categorize—we allow ourselves to simply observe. In stillness, we can sense the divine presence in all things.
Gratitude serves as a bridge between the material and the immaterial. When we appreciate not just what something does, but the deeper role it plays in our journey, we move beyond function into meaning. A chair is not just a seat; it is a place of rest, an offering of support. A tree is not just wood; it is a giver of life, a teacher of patience and strength. When we recognize these truths, we shift from passive existence to an awakened state of being.
A Recipe for Disaster
My purpose in returning to this world is to share what was revealed to me—what I was given from the divine and what I experienced on the other side of death. I am here to tell you that there is no secret recipe, no hidden formula for understanding the divine and immaterial. It is not found in dogma, a sacred book, or a specific course of study. It is not definable and therefore not something you can simply acquire.
You are not here to decode existence; you are here to experience it through awareness. You are here to witness how the divine moves through you, through those you interact with, and through the material world beyond its surface definitions.
This understanding already resides within you. You were born with it. You don’t need to know how it works; you only need to know that it does work—and that is why you are here. The desire to uncover a formula or framework is often nothing more than the ego—trained in material definition—searching for security in a realm that cannot be contained by rigid concepts.
We Are All Wearing Costumes
Imagine you are wearing a clown suit. The real you—the immaterial, eternal self—exists beyond the suit, but to engage with the world, you must wear it. Others, too, are dressed in their own costumes, interacting through these physical forms. The material world, in this sense, is a necessary and beautiful expression of the immaterial self. But it is only a layer, not the full truth.
When we recognize the costume for what it is, we stop mistaking it for our essence. We begin to see the divine not just in ourselves but in everyone and everything around us.
Breaking Free from Material Definitions
Definitions help us navigate daily life, but they also confine us. True understanding comes when we move beyond labels and allow ourselves to feel the deeper reality beneath them. The material world is not separate from the spiritual; it is a manifestation of it.
When we let go of rigid perceptions and embrace the immaterial reasons behind all things, we step into a higher awareness—one that sees the sacred in the ordinary and the eternal in the present moment.
The material world is not an illusion to be dismissed but a divine stage upon which the immaterial unfolds. In gratitude, in awareness, and in letting go of limitations, we awaken to the full truth of existence.
Final Thoughts
The world around us is more than what it appears to be. When we look beyond the material, we begin to experience the immaterial—the divine force that flows through everything. By embracing gratitude, awareness, and the understanding that we are more than our physical definitions, we open ourselves to a profound and sacred way of being.
Let go of the need to define. Observe. Feel. And in doing so, awaken to the deeper truth that has always been within you.
