Chapter One
Introduction
As I was writing this book, a loyal reader who read my earlier book, CODE BLUE 99 — A MIRACULOUS TRUE STORY!, and was eagerly waiting to read this one, asked if I would provide the highlighted summary of the details I experienced, as well as witnessed, while I stood before the Lord. Although it has been a few years since I experienced my personal encounter with Him, to this day I still remember every little detail.
Therefore, I have decided to summarize my first-hand experiences for the benefits of the readers who did not have a chance to read the earlier book. Here are the summarized highlights.
? When I went through my code blue ordeal in the ICU of a modern hospital, I experienced that all my senses disappeared instantaneously; but my sense of hearing was the last one to depart. ? Immediately after all my senses disappeared, a bright light with superior authority met me and asked me to follow Him. I had no other choice but to follow Him. Together we traveled enormous distance at a very high speed, sometimes through the dark tunnels. During the journey, I fell in love with my companion light, whom I'll address as the Divine Light. To me, The Divine Light is the representation of God Himself, who is known as the Holy Spirit. ? At the end of our journey, the Divine Light was shining on top of the Kingdom of Heaven, and I was standing at the far left-hand corner on a huge platform outside the boundary of this beautiful place. The platform is located on top of a high land, and its far wall is common with the Kingdom of Heaven. ? As I looked down below on my left, I witnessed the most fearsome place, which is known as Hell. The Hell is always dark, and the only light that I saw there was burning flame. I was standing at the extreme far edge on the platform, from where I could easily fall into the dingy dungeon, and that fall would be the permanent death for me. ? The Kingdom of Heaven's boundary is square-shaped, and its boundaries are protected with very beautiful arch-shaped walls that are very high. The outer walls of the Kingdom of Heaven are located on abyss. ? All walls appeared to be the color of pearls. ? The Kingdom of Heaven is the most beautiful place that I ever witnessed. The more I witnessed, the more I wanted to see. It is a place of eternal joy, tranquility and peace. The ultimate goal of each one of us should be to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Once we get in, we will never want to come out. ? Our vision in Heaven is quite different than our vision on earth. There we can see through walls from one end to the other. We can also zoom in to any object, very similar to a powerful camera. ? Towards the center of the Heaven, there are a few circular streets. On both sides of the streets there are many magnificent royal buildings like huge mansions. ? Most of the buildings have golden color roofs. There are a few mansions with bronze and copper color roofs. Most of the building walls and streets are again the same as pearl colors. ? The Kingdom of Heaven has no dark nights. It is always day time. The Divine Light, whom I accompanied, always shines on Heaven. ? I witnessed many angels. On top of each post on the arch-shaped boundary walls, an angel is on guard to protect the Kingdom from intrusion. The angels appeared to be the administrators of Heaven. They are in charge. ? I witnessed a few people inside. They could float in space or they could walk. ? From the circular rings at the center of the Kingdom of Heaven, there are four streets on each side of the wall that were extended all the way to huge gates. There are altogether twelve gates in Heaven, one in each corner and two additional gates per side. The gates blend well with the walls. When the gates are closed, it is difficult to separate the gates from the walls. ? All of the gates remained closed, and I could not find one single entrance-way that was open for me to enter into the Kingdom. It is impossible for anyone to enter. I desperately looked for an open entrance, since I knew the entry meant the ultimate liberation. ? Suddenly, I came face to face with the Lord. As soon as I saw the Lord, I instantaneously knew He was the Almighty. Language was no barrier. I understood Him in any language that I knew, and He understood me even before I spoke. ? The Lord appeared before me as a Giant. He was sitting on a throne and seemed to be about 35 feet high in His sitting position. Therefore, when He would stand up, He would be about 70-75 feet tall. ? Initially, I was trembling with fear. I knew that the Lord was not going to spare me, since I committed many wrongdoings in my life. Soon I discovered that He was a very loving and caring God. He was genuinely concerned about me and everyone else in my family. ? When the Lord was speaking to me, I noticed a short distance to His left was a very narrow door that was open. Needless to say, that was the only entrance-way into the Kingdom that was open. All the other entrance-ways were closed. ? Even though the narrow door was open, I could not dare to enter through the door. The Lord is such a Giant, and He was sitting so close to the narrow door that no one could dare. No man can enter through the door, unless the Lord permits. ? When I faced the Lord, I was on my own. My family, my friends, my belongings, or my religion were not there. Each one of us will be dealt with individually on a one-on-one basis. Our physical body will stay behind on earth. Only our soul and our mind will accompany us. ? When I met the Lord, He represented both Father and Son. I saw both the Father and the Son as the Lord. They are the same.
The five directives that He asked me to follow and share with everyone regardless of our faiths are as stated below.
1. Be Truthful. Always tell the Truth. Do not be afraid to tell the Truth. 2. Commit no more wrongdoings (sins). 3. Surrender yourself completely unto Me in your daily life. Let Me be the driver in your life. 4. Walk with Me. Allow Me to show you the way. 5. Be generous and kind to the poor. It is very important. They need your help.
Chapter Two
Continuation of the Miraculous True Story
It has been a few years since the publication of my first book, "Code Blue 99 — A Miraculous True Story!" Many of you have read the book. I sincerely thank you, and I am grateful for your doing so. You have been very kind to me. Not only have you taken the time to read the book, but you have also relayed your personal comments and reviews. I have been touched by them all. Additionally, many of you have expressed that you are eagerly waiting for the publication of my next book. I truly appreciate all your support, and I hope that you will find this book very helpful in understanding the Truth and the Way.
Some of you most certainly wanted to see the reviews and feedbacks that I received for the first book. As you indicated, they would have been beneficial to all. It would have been nice if I could have included in this book all of your feedbacks and comments I received from you thus far. But I realize it is not practical to quote all of them, since many of them contain some personal touches.
For the benefit of the readers who did not read my first book, let me summarize.
The book told of my unexpected and sudden departure from this world. I've written about the circumstances that led me to exit this world quite unexpectedly and rather helplessly; the actual experiences of my physical death; description of the moments how it feels to physically die here on earth; and, subsequently, my instantaneous encounter with the Divine Light.
Under His companionship, as well as protection, I experienced a marvelous journey beyond this world, a journey that I could have never dreamed of. The journey took me through an enormous distance at an extremely fast speed. My journey ended at the Gateway of the Kingdom of Heaven, where I was able to witness the entire Heaven, its magnificent beauty, everlasting peace and tranquility. There, I also witnessed many royal palaces that were like magnificent buildings. I also saw many marvelous angels. This unimaginable place was so perfect that I instantly fell in love with it.
I knew it was my ultimate goal to be inside this glorious place. Therefore, I desperately searched for an entrance-way into this absolutely gorgeous place, but I could not find one single entrance-way that was open to this grand place of beauty.
Being unable to find a single entrance-way into this marvelous place, I was deeply saddened. Then, as I was looking a little towards my front and slightly to my right, suddenly I came face to face with the Lord.
I looked at Him only once, and I could not look at Him again, since I started to tremble with fear. The Lord appeared to me as a huge giant, and I knew He was not going to spare me, since I had committed many sins in my lifetime.
As I was nervously looking at His feet and slightly towards His left, suddenly I saw a very small and narrow door. Obviously, this narrow door was the one and only entrance way into the Kingdom of Heaven.
I desperately desired to walk through the narrow door at that moment. But I also realized it would have been an impossible task, with fatal consequences, since the Lord was such a huge Giant guarding that narrow entrance door. I would not dare to go through the door unless He allowed me to do so.
However, I consider myself very fortunate to be able to witness the Divine Light, the Kingdom of Heaven, the angels, the Lord, and the single entrance way into the most beautiful place of all. I'll also remain ever grateful to the Lord for His mercy upon me. In my first book, I narrated most of my conversations with the Lord while I was there standing before Him. I also reiterated His specific instructions to me prior to His decision to send me back to the earth. They included my unfinished tasks to be completed before He sees me next time. Complying with His Instructions, I wrote the first book. He also told me to write the second book after a few years, and I know the time is now appropriate for me to do so.
I must admit that I'm not the very same person I was before my unexpected physical departure from this world. It is also very true that my sudden encounter with Him, including the conversations that we had, changed me forever.
My opinion of this world and outlook of my life are now completely different. Ever since He allowed me to return to this earth, I have continuously experienced a very close relationship with Him. I know He is always with me, even though I am busy with other things in my daily life.
Often I wondered, "Why did He ask me to wait a few years before I start writing the second book? Why couldn't I write the two books consecutively back-to-back?"
I know the answer now. Prior to my return to the earth, my relationship with the Lord was very thin and, to some extent, nonexistent. In order for me to be able to write the second book, my relationship with Him needed to grow much closer.
During the last few years, I have learned much from Him. I am very thankful to Him that He helped me find and open my "third eye."
We all have a "third eye" of which we are not even aware. We think that we only have two eyes, because only through these eyes can we visually see things. However, the "third eye," as many of us know, is the most powerful. There are many things that we cannot see with our two eyes, since our vision is very limited. But, with our third eye, we can see everything very clearly even after we close our two eyes. It is located in our forehead, over the eyebrows. It can only be spiritually opened by our humble submission to the Lord. And only through His amazing grace can we see the underlying reasons and purposes not usually visible through our physical eyes.
I remain ever grateful to the Lord that He allowed me to open my "third eye." I have found answers to so many questions that I never thought were possible. My relationship with the Lord has become close and open. I can visualize the real purpose of many things. I also have a better understanding of His expectations of me. I can understand the purpose of His Instructions for me to complete my unfinished tasks and also to write the two books.
However, the purpose of the earlier book and this book remain unchanged. The purpose is to convey His Messages to all mankind that He loves every one of us regardless of our background. It does not matter who we are or what we do. His Instructions to me are very simple - share the Messages with all mankind, regardless of our faith, religion or personal belief. We must wake up and come to our senses.
In this book, I will write more about my experience with Him and His Instructions. I will also demonstrate how we can live our day-to-day life and still remain very close to Him. This book is truly the continuation of the "Miraculous True Story!"
I will also explain why the Lord loves and cares for us all, even though many of us intentionally ignore Him. There are also many who do not want to hear His name and feel that their lives run better without Him. Therefore, who needs Him?
But is that really meaningful? Do we even realize what we are saying when we say such things about Him?
It is similar to saying, "Why did I need my physical father and mother to come into this world and mature to be the person I am today?"
Really? -
We came into this world and matured on our own? We did not need any help from our fathers or mothers? It is as if we are saying, "I do not know them." For us, we have no parents and they do not exist.
Who are we kidding? - We should know better.
I will also explain who we really are and what the Lord expects from us in our day-to-day lives. But, before I continue to write this book, I must again thank all my readers very sincerely for asking me so many questions over the past few years. Your questions became the basis of this book. I will try my best to answer as many questions as I can through this book. But, if you have any question or comments regarding the contents of this book, please feel free to write to me as you did previously.
Almost all of your feedback from the first book came via e-mail. They came not only from USA and Canada, but also from many corners of this world. They were personally overwhelming to me at times. But I always meditated for His guidance before I attempted to respond to everyone who wrote to me. I encourage every reader to write to me about this book, as well. The e-mail address is the same, sjs2005@ sbcglobal.net
In concluding this chapter, I must emphasize that I am neither a Theologian nor a scholar. I have never been a strict religious person of any faith and have no religious zeal of any kind.
Everything that I wrote in my previous book, as well as in this book, is only to comply with His Instructions to me. I truly apologize to anyone who finds any of the contents contrary to his/her personal belief, faith or religion. It is never my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. I am only doing what He asked me to do. It is my utmost duty to relay His Messages to all mankind, as I promised to Him before He sent me back to the earth.
You know, there is a saying, "Don't shoot the messenger!" I plead the same thing to you - "Don't shoot me." I am only a "messenger" conveying His Instructions.
My earnest request to you is that you keep an open mind when you read this book.
I also encourage you to invite the Divine Spirit of the Lord to come to you and open your hearts as you begin reading His Messages. I pray to the Almighty that you be blessed by His amazing grace. Only through His amazing grace can we discover the Truth and follow it in our daily lives to find the Way, the only Way.
