Insightful quote of the day: “For virtue, not secrecy, is sought by good men.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero Roman Orator, Statesman and Philosopher (On Duties)

Previously in Part 1 of this three-part series on Megan Brown’s near-death experience, Megan recounted how she found herself in Heaven while hospitalized with kidney failure. An atheist at the time, she met Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian), underwent a review of her life, and received Archangel Michael’s reassurance of Love without judgment. Her guides then led her to a white temple, where Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) opened the door. In Part 2, Megan recounts the messages she received at a golden table and a lesson about the choices we make in life.

My guides went in, then I went in, and then Jesus walked in after me. And the moment that I touched the floor, I felt this incredible wave of Love. I had never felt this warmth in my life. I had never felt so warm within and throughout my entire being. Inside was a huge golden table where Megan says 77 beings were gathered, including herself and Paramahansa Yogananda (vegetarian) Lord Jesus Christ pulled out her chair and sat on her left. Archangel Michael sat on her right, followed by 26 other archangels. Also seated at the table were Melchizedek, a king and priest described in the Bible, and a being Megan calls Goddess. At the head of the table sat a man who held everyone’s attention. And then I’m just sitting, listening. I have no idea what’s going on, and He said, “And Megan will be going back to Earth.” He announced it. Megan reacted silently in her mind. The man stopped, looked directly at her, and answered the thought she had never spoken aloud.

And then, in that moment, I went, “Oh my GOD, You are GOD.” As a child, Megan had been taught that GOD could read her thoughts. Hearing HIM respond to an unspoken thought was how she recognized HIM. She then walked around the table, and everyone seated there had a message for her. Goddess told her it was OK to be herself. She also met White Eagle, whose name she recognized from The Quiet Mind, a book her grandmother had given her as a child. He asked her to consider, whenever she saw a white feather, whether she was doing or being. When she reached GOD, HE offered a comparison that finally made sense to her.

HE said, “Megan, you’re the driver of the car. I’m your passenger. You come to a fork in the road.” HE said, “Which way are you going to go, left or right?” […] HE says, “There is no right or wrong.” He said, “Any way you go, either way you go, I’m still your passenger.” In this comparison, Megan could choose her path, and GOD would remain with her whichever direction she took. Standing beside HIM, she wondered whether to ask if she could touch HIS cheek. Then she asked. And HE smiled, and everybody was looking at me, and They were all smiling, and HE said, “Yes.” And so, I took my right hand and touched HIS left cheek. And then, very gently— and then I pulled my hand back, and I said, “Wow. Now I can tell people I’ve touched the face of GOD.” And HE smiled.

Megan recalls a sense of unity among those gathered at GOD’s table. We were unified in Heaven. […] They were all working together to keep Love united. Join us tomorrow for Part 3 of this three-part series, as Megan recounts her decision to return to Earth, a conversation with Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) that helped her make peace with her past, and the message of Love she brought back from Heaven.
