What if God didn’t judge? What if divine love was absolute, unconditional, limitless – beyond even what our minds could conceive?
Testimonies of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the accounts of the great mystics converge: there is an infinite, unalterable love, a Presence that loves each and every one of us, whatever our choices or mistakes. This article explores this deeply moving message from those who have glimpsed the “Other Side”.
Unconditional divine love revealed by NDEs
People who have had an NDE often describe meeting a Being of Light, the bearer of immeasurable love. This love has nothing to do with human love: it doesn’t judge, punish or expect anything. It simply loves.
“God loves us for who we are, totally and unconditionally. He does not seek to do justice, but to educate us, to help us evolve.”
– Raymond Moody
Human love: a necessary and imperfect comparison
Even those who love us most have limits. Our parents, spouses, friends… they can all say “I love you no matter what”, but deep down we know that certain actions can break that bond.
Why? Because human love is often conditioned: by respect, reciprocity, loyalty, morality…
Conversely, NDEs and mystical stories tell of a love without judgment, without contract, without rules.
The “revue de vie”: an apprenticeship in love
In many NDEs, people experience a life review – a moment when they relive every moment of their existence, through the emotions felt by others.
But again, no judgment, no punishment: just a deep, almost pedagogical understanding of the consequences of our actions.
Life review is not a court of law. It’s a teaching based on love, connection and awareness. It shows that whatever we do to others, we do to ourselves.
A universal connection: humans, animals, nature
NDEs also reveal an intense sense of unity: everything is interconnected. Every thought, every action influences the very fabric of life.
It’s all about love. Feeling connected to every being, every animal, every plant. Love is the only reality.
The mystics already said so…
Long before the emergence of NDEs in the 1970s, sages, saints and mystics of all traditions spoke of a God of mercy, not a merciless judge.
“Some people describe God as a kind of angry tyrant, who ruthlessly supervises and judges human beings. They distort the reality of God, who is the merciful Being, the infinite Source of unconditional Love, unlimited acceptance and eternal goodness.” Paramahansa Yogananda
Jesus and unlimited forgiveness
Even those closest to Jesus found it hard to believe in infinite love. The apostle Peter, thinking he was being generous, asked:
“Lord, must I forgive up to 7 times?”
Jesus replies, “I’m not telling you 7 times, but 77 times 7 times.”
The message is clear: divine love knows no limits.
Conclusion: Transforming love
NDEs, mystical stories and the most profound spiritual teachings call us to an essential revelation: true Love does not judge, it welcomes, it liberates. It does not depend on our behavior. We don’t have to earn it. It’s there, unalterable, absolute.
NDEs, mystics and the most profound spiritual teachings invite us to enter into this radically different, transforming, liberating unconditional love.
All we have to do is open our hearts to his presence.
