Those NDE’s progressing to a meeting with a light being often tell of the light source at the end of the tunnel forming into a person. Just as often, the light is already in the form of an illuminated person. This person is most often a family member, a guide, guardian, or Jesus.
In scripture and post biblical accounts, Jesus is referred to, and claims to be the light. God is indeed light, but not all light is God. Perhaps light is God’s native form. The presence of light beings is no real challenge to any religious theology. What they say varies considerably, and this will be examined by topic in the following sections. Most or all communication during an NDE is telepathic, with no spoken words.
“Light beings”, that is persons who exist as light, who then form into a human person are very diverse in their person and function. Brian H encountered a light being who became an adolescent girl, and told Brian that she was his guardian angel.O
O Angels are among the nine orders of Heavenly beings; the apostle Paul lists 23
Incredibly, Brian survived head strikes, 27 stab wounds, and nine hours in a dumpster, before returning to this life. He could not yet enter Heaven because his guardian angel told him he still had things to accomplish in this life.24
According to Catholic theology, the head halo of light, or the whole body halo occurs because that person is sanctified and is a “child of the light” (1Th 5:5), with the light being Christ of course. In NDE’s both the light form and the human form is seen.
All Heavenly beings are light, which may assume human form.
Mt 17:2 tells of Jesus becoming a being of light.
