18Beth Hammond——一个声音爱与慈悲分享经历／写书／教学助人与服务
Go back and teach humankind that LOVE is what is important. Love one another justly. Help those who cannot help themselves… Go back and tell the four corners of the Earth what is truly important, not which religion.
I was told that my purpose was a big mission… I was told that I was meant to lead, that I was a healer sent to Earth to pave the way for others to live.
God since that day chose me for a purpose, he gave me a mission to save innocent children from the killing (abortion), for the injustice, for the cruelty.
I said, 'I have a daughter that must know who I am, and also Earth is in a lot of darkness right now. They need as many people with good heartedness within them alive and on Earth right now. For these reasons I would like to return and complete my mission.'
He had floated just a bit in front of my path blocking me from going further. Then he telepathically said, 'It is not your time.' … Then I saw this whole group of people become one consciousness … I looked at him and he said, 'We need you there.' Then I remembered it was my 'contract' to be there and to do my part.
In an instant, I returned to Earth conscious of my connection to God as my 'I AM presence' was activated. My mission became to experience what I had felt in Heaven here on Earth. I chose that for myself more than anything else.
They (voices) said, 'Madeleine, the purpose of your life is, among other things, to try to have as much fun as possible, forget the sad things that happened and laugh and smile as much as you possibly can. Everything is going to be all right for you. Humor is very important.'
'It's time. It's time to go' my first grandmother said. … 'You must,' she said 'you have a child. You're not finished loving. You're not finished remembering. You're not finished knowing. GO.' The words were from everything that existed there and beyond that, maybe what perhaps could be called God.
God spoke to me, but I could not see him, I was stopped, if I went any further, I could not go back to Earth. I had a choice to return or stay but I wanted to stay, God wanted me to go back and told me my purpose was not finished on this Earth, I would have children.
Just as I was about to settle into being 'Home' again, there came this calm, steady, male-like voice which said quote: 'You must go back, you have more lessons to teach.'
Jesus said, 'You have to go back it's not your time yet.' I again said, 'I don't want to go.' Jesus said, 'Tell them about me.' I said, 'I'll give them hell.' Jesus grimaced as if he didn't care for that comment.
God told me that I could not come into heaven in the condition which I was in because I was strung out on drugs and alcohol. God said again that I must go back … Then God said, 'All of the alcohol and drugs that you do won't kill you. And I am going to bring you out of it.'
He (God) told me that I had a choice to abort the mission but that would mean I'd have to relive the whole first part of my life all over again because consciousness is erased in birth. I thought, 'That wasn't fair.' But, that information made my choice more difficult.
The Being told Don C. it wasn't his time to return home – he still had a mission to fulfill on Earth. … Don was warned that choosing suicide would prevent him from returning to that peaceful realm. If he endured and completed his mission, he would one day be welcomed home.
At that moment I asked God, 'What do you want me to do?' And the answer that came to me was that I had to go back into my physical body in order to complete certain goals that had already been set into motion.
那一刻我问神：「你要我做什么？」我得到的回答是：我必须回到肉体里，去完成某些早已被启动的目标。

[I received] absolute understanding that our mission while on Earth is to give universal love, completely and unconditionally to all life and all creation.
I take very seriously my new 'mission' to love the world. As it seems to me that that's what we are here for – to learn to love.

Our missions mainly have to do with love, but the purpose of life is also to experience joy, gain spiritual understanding and self-awareness, play with the joyful abandon of a child, absorb ourselves in the delight of each moment, let go of obligation and duty, and live for the pure joy of being.
We are sent to Earth to learn and overcome and to bring us closer to GOD. The simplest tasks are so very difficult. … It is the danger of free will that hurts our mission of knowledge on Earth.
The supreme being spoke to me as if I had known very well what my mission was and why we were carrying out all this human experience. … Our mission is to return to the Source voluntarily.
We had to take a vow not to remember anything. Then it had to pass through a gray misty-looking curtain. The reason is for us to learn more effectively and faster. The most important reason for us coming to Earth is to either learn or teach. Most times both.
We made a promise to God to accept the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities of a physical life … to return to God with the knowledge and experience gained such that likewise, God could be enhanced by the experience.
What I was shown was that each one of us, including Hitler, have all been shown what our 'mission' on this Earth would entail. We saw all that would occur during our life. However, we were also shown various paths that we could take during the course of our life. None of these paths are predestined.
The spirit beings asked David how and why he picked these particular parents. … David picked his parents to help them on their path as well as to achieve his own learning. … Reincarnation is the process which allows us to return to Earth to 'clean up our mess.'
I knew everything then. I recalled I knew all about the life that expected me even before I was born. I must even say that when she talked about my mission, I knew I had myself decided about my life and I knew the most minute details of it.
I experienced a transformation, more exalted/sublime than being in this dimension – I knew how to accomplish my mission, how to be more alert in my relationships, with manners, and how to work harder on de-attachment and dependence.
I knew that reincarnation is the natural fact of life, and now, I had the knowingness that if I chose to stay, I would have to reincarnate to Earth again later. … Nevertheless, I knew that I had to return and finish whatever mission I had to do here.
The angel said that life is an endless cycle of improvements and that humans are not perfect yet. … 'It stretches our own humanity to love a child who is less than perfect,' said the angel. 'And that is an important lesson for us.'
Souls choose to be born with physical disabilities for the purpose of soul growth and to stay compassionate.
灵魂会选择带着身体的残障出生，目的是灵魂的成长，以及保持那份慈悲。

I was told that it was not yet my time, that I was being allowed to 'come home' for a visit, but that I must complete my mission and do the work that I had chosen for myself on Earth… my mission was to learn more about love, compassion, and how to express these on Earth, and that my work was to help others as best I could.
He told me that mission is the reason why most people are sent back… part of that mission would be to let people know that death is not to be feared… My mission, I later found out, was to come back and love, to help people not fear death.

'It's not your time to come here yet. Go back there and help a lot of people, and then come back!' … I had to return to this world with a specific mission: Help lots of people!
'Maybe another time, but not now. You have a mission to do on the Earth and you must do it. No one else can do it but you…' My mission is basically to share my story down here on the Earth, to tell everybody that they are love too.
I was told my mission was to speak to the world about my experience and to teach that God is love and our purpose here is to show love and kindness to everyone.
Your mission is to help others and to protect them. You will learn more about your mission as you go along, but for now you need to go back… discover your mission in full.
I believe God has missions for people. I also believe we who have had NDEs are messengers from God to let people know not to fear death and to conduct their life as if they were to die the next day.
They then replied, 'NO, you have still not completely your missions and purposes in life yet, you will heal and then share this information with others'… if I did not return, many people would miss their connections, in order to complete their missions and purposes in life.
If every man who comes back from death is meant to carry a special mission, then I believe that my most important mission is to share my miracle recovery story… I am merely a selected story teller.
I have a mission in this life, to write about the experience. I am a published author and this is why I had this experience so I could share it with others.
我此生有一项使命：把这段经历写下来。我是出版作者，我之所以有这段经历，就是为了能把它分享给别人。

68Ana Cecilia G.——光之存有／「临在」分享经历／写书／教学
I know that it was an evolved being… it instructed me with much love and much peace, about my mission or special function… I know I have to share that which I have experienced.
I was in a state of extreme joy when suddenly I hear a very strong Voice, powerful and omnipotent, that told me that I had to go back. … 'You must return to life. You still have three missions to complete.'
I heard this voice from heaven speak to me and say, 'Well done my son.' … But I again heard these words, 'It is not your time – for you have much fruits to bring to me.'
I went to Heaven through the tunnel and spoke with Angels that told me my work on Earth here is not complete and that I must go back. They told me that life is a mission that we must all complete before we can go to the Heavenly Kingdom.
The only communication I remembered is that it wasn't my time to go, I had more work to do in this life, and if I chose to go back, I would be given access to knowledge that would help me with my mission.
I heard a voice say, 'Stop, don't go, it's not your time,' and 'You still have a job to do.' When I turned to see who was talking it was my mother, she died when I was 6 months old.
'You're not supposed to be here, yet. You have to go back. You know what you agreed to,' he said. … 'You must go back, you have work to do. We'll send you back, soon.'
There was a bright white light and I felt the most incredible love (peace, forgiveness, tranquility) ever. … I was very disappointed when I heard a voice (and I knew it was a higher power) say, 'You are not finished yet. You cannot die. There is so much more yo[u have to do].'
And he said, 'No. Here, what goes on in the world has no meaning.' He said, 'We're here to care for you, we're here to take you on.' And then there was a sense of drawing back, and I panicked and said, 'Dad, I d[on't want to go back].'
At some point God told me, 'You must go back to Earth.' I refused then; no way I should go back into that sick body. Then God showed me a vision of my mother who cried because I was dead, and then I came back.
God spoke to Ashli with love, telling her He was proud and that her journey was nearly complete. They urged her to finish her mission, promising eternal love and peace in return.
Such as, an agreement that I had not achieved my mission yet … And other individual's lives end, before they complete their divine mission. Why some people have helpers, who save them from death. Whereas others do not receive that assistance. I've been told this is because of good karma, acquired from past lives.
I started thinking, 'I need to go back, I need to finish my mission on Earth, as Bryan! Wait, what is my mission exactly?' I tried to recall, to no avail. … I was also slightly saddened, as I also remembered that I also had a few 'incomplete missions' throughout time.
If we were born with our pre-birth knowledge intact, our resulting choices would be predictable and would be a violation of our free will. Free will is a highly important power given to us by God. Almost all of our choices must be made according to it.
The only thing is that I always put myself down, thought I never did enough and he talked to me like I was a very good person, that I've done much good and I accomplished my mission.
As spirits we come here (Earth) with a mission or goal in mind and a plan mostly in place.
作为灵，我们来到（地球）时是带着使命或目标的，并且大体上有一套已就位的计划。

What I learned from it was that death is simply a soul being done with a mission in physical world as if a soul 'forks it in' (our lingo for done with day's mission) and leaves physical world.
I became certain that death is sure to happen anytime, that there is afterlife, that everyone has a mission on Earth and that we must live our life to the fullest with our loved ones.
A Being of Light whom Dougherty identified as 'the Lady of Light' (Mary, the mother of Jesus) revealed to him his own personal future of creating a 'Mission of Angels' … His deceased friend revealed to Ned he had a mission: 'You have a mission ahead of you in your life, and this experience will guide you on that mission.' … 'You must be positive to perform your mission.'
I also remembered having agreed to accomplish a mission. I came to Earth to accomplish a mission. All of a sudden, I realized that I had not accomplished this mission. My joy and serenity turned into anguish … I came back from a heavenly state to accomplish this mission and I forgot what it is shortly after re-entering my body!
Arthur Ford encountered a spirit guide named Fletcher … Fletcher communicated to Ford that his earthly work was not yet complete – that he had a mission to fulfill involving the bridging of the material and spiritual worlds.
Our own desire to grow and learn leads us to be born in the physical realm. … We progress at our own rate to reach the light. If we do things that take us away from the light, then we are perpetuating our time here.
Then I was told, 'Jack! You must go back. You have not finished your mission on Earth.' I was not told what I was to tell them. I was not told what that mission was to be.
The spirits indicated that I had more things to do and they were counting on me to do them. What, I don't know. I keep asking for direction. If I am supposed to live, then what is the mission that I am supposed to accomplish?
I was told that I had a great mission to fulfill and that if I didn't return, nobody else could fulfill it. Whether I was shown what this was or not, I can't recall.
Then almost instantly, I felt like I was given a job to complete, or a mission to fulfill, but I couldn't tell you what that was.
几乎在一瞬间，我感觉自己被交付了一项要完成的工作、一项要完成的使命——但我没法告诉你那是什么。

I was aware that being on Earth was a mission, not the end-all reason for being… the knowledge that Earth was a classroom and that the mission was just an unpleasant assignment.

There is much, much work for you. You have to go back and tell them… Spread love and understanding. We will always be with you guiding you, protecting you, awaiting the time when we will be reunited when your work on Earth is over.
The Light pointed to me and reminded me of my responsibilities and told me that I have to finish my mission on Earth.

127Analisa D.神／造物主内在成长与自我实现
I am intensely grateful to God for letting me glimpse the afterlife and to know that we are all here on a mission, each and everyone of us. It is as though God's love is coursing through me and I have the ability to give so much love to people.
We talked for hours about why we are all here and my plans for this life is. At that time, I knew it all, the whole meaning of life and what it is all about. I cannot remember any of it except the last sentence… 'Then it's decided, you're going back.'
She (a deceased neighbor) told me that my mission on Earth was not completed and that I would have to go back. I protested and begged to stay to no avail. She said I would be 'allowed' to stay the next time… We do not die until we achieve what we were instructed to do before we were born.
Although I had all my worldly senses, I had no physical body. My dad had a physical body though. I assume that it so I could recognize him. I was told telepathically that I had to go back and complete my mission.
My grandfather said, 'You still have a lot to accomplish here on Earth and your earthly mission is not over. The time has not yet come to join me'… We all have several missions that are intended for us and which we have to put into practice during our earthly life.
I was told that I was too early. I still had work to do. What work? I would be able to figure that out. I would have to go back. … I understood that it was my duty and that I wouldn't be asked to do it if I wasn't capable.
I came to a barrier that I was not permitted to cross; or was sent back against my will I was told that my work was not finished and so I had to return.
I truly think that I was stopped from going further because my time on Earth was not complete.
我真心认为，我被拦住不再往前，是因为我在世的时间还没走完。

It was as if I was being held in a waiting room, and I knew that I was loved. I knew somehow that I am not finished with my time here. I knew other things, but cannot describe them. I realized I was a part of a bigger picture.
I heard an authoritative voice say, 'You shall not enter. You have not finished your life. When you have completed your life and continued to be a good person, you will earn your place here.'
I did not want to come back to my life. I heard a voice tell me that I was not finished yet. I was devastated that I was forced back into my awful life.
我不想回到我的人生里。我听见一个声音说我还没走完。被强行推回那糟透了的人生，我整个人都垮了。
负面情绪最强的一例：「被送回来」在这里不是恩典，是刑罚。值得与「被委以重任」的叙事对照看。

I was told that I must go back… that it was not my time. … I remember an intense feeling of regret and being filled with a 'No, No, please let me stay' feeling. But wherever the 'voice' was coming from was adamant…it was not my time and I must return. I had no choice in the matter.
Suddenly, from no place at all, there was a voice. It was a warm and soft voice that said, 'You have to go back, it is not your time you have things to finish that are not done!'
突然间，不知从何处传来一个声音——温暖而柔和：「你必须回去，还不是你的时间，你还有没做完的事！」

'You still have to fulfill your work' was still reverberating for a while and I wondered what was meant by this. It was like a mission given to me. As I didn't get an answer and I still continued a few times to get over the invisible border, but to no avail.
My past flashed before me, out of my control. I was meant to go back and try my best at being the best I could be; there was more there for me – I had a mission.
Cindy: 'I want to come home now.' Jesus: 'No, you can't.' Cindy: 'But I don't want to stay there anymore. I don't like it.' … Jesus: 'I grieve for you and what they've done to you.'
However, I did not want to come back but I was told that my life had not finished and that I must. I argued and lost. So I reluctantly came back and got into my body and woke up.
My past flashed before me, out of my control It was more like in one moment I understood my entire life to that point and knew that I was not 'finished' here.
God said again that I must go back, and I moved further away, still pleading to stay.
神又说了一次我必须回去，而我又退得更远了些，还在哀求让我留下。

As soon as the thought of leaving came, the same voice said, 'Your next mission is…' Then, confusion and anguish set in. I wondered, what is the mission in this life? I still don't know!
He (Archangel Michael) informed me that my Earth mission had concluded… Archangel Raphael explained that having already completed my earthly mission, in order to return I would be entrusted with a new mission revealed over time.

Each one of us came to Earth on a personal mission to be loved or to give love. We are to learn the value and price of love. Other parts of our mission include learning patience, humility, self-discipline, and other virtues.
It began to tell me all the events that will come to my life. It even told me that I never have been in love with a man on Earth and that I should come back now so I can do that. It kept saying, 'you have a mission to accomplish and too many things to do.'
Before each of us are sent forth into our various missions, we are brought into a vast Cathedral of Light known as 'the Throne Room of God'… Because our souls are covered by what is known as a 'veil of forgetfulness,' we are made to seek God out in ways that hopefully has us seeking him in each other… But first we must work at accomplishing the thing he sent us here to learn… LOVE!
Some souls choose to be born for a short period of time and die as a baby or child. The purpose for this is to teach others important lessons. To love a child who is born less than perfect is an important lesson.
The return to the body is often necessitated by a strong sense of a mission that is yet to be fulfilled. One returns to be of service to others, to be more loving, to be more tolerant and compassionate, and/or to seek knowledge of a spiritual nature.
A central aspect of our eternal existence is continued spiritual growth through love and service.
我们永恒存在的一个核心面向，就是通过爱与服务持续地灵性成长。

My deepest desire was to assist others on planet Earth, and that my mission was not finish yet. Then, God said, 'Then, it looks like you need to return. It is your decision to either stay here, go back in your body or go back in different body.'
She (a Being of Light) said my mission was to be an antenna. I was to just drop little bombs of good-intentioned art, love, truth and spirituality in the world and that I have a gift to help souls evolve.
'Look again. What do you see NOW?' Suddenly, I saw what the voice saw, 'I see our planet and there are no borders dividing countries. The borders are gone!!' He said, 'This is why you're going back. You have a mission'… I do, at times, get nostalgic trying to figure out what 'the mission' was.
The judge thought for a while and said: 'But you have a mission.' In this moment, I saw all the people with their unique destinies as a great mosaic… I knew that if my own destiny failed then the harmony of the whole would be destroyed.

[Before birth] we raised our right arms… and we made a sacred covenant with God that we would do all in our power to accomplish our missions on Earth… We promised to use our time and energies and talents to help bring about the savior's full purposes.
I also had the sensation that I had a mission: to bring my child into the world even if it cost me my own life. I was congratulated for having brought him to Earth, despite so much suffering.
The next memory I have was standing again outside the light in the delivery room and saying, 'I choose to live,' which I presume was a decision to come back to Earth, for my mission was unfinished… of returning to my body because of the children.
Since then I have married and become a mother, which I understand to be part of my mission.
